BTW, you can easily prevent overspeeding at low altitude by flying at about 680°C EGT. Max speed at that temperature is around 1290-1295km/h indicated (at sealevel).

After a few months of flying the MiG-21Bis and piston engines I recently got back into the A-10 after I started building a combined arms mission for a small community: Rifle! Defensive: What a mean face: Winchester, Bingo Fuel and I got a bit too close to the AAA:

the key word is internal, i.e. a development build that we don't have access to. Edit: sniped :p

While I agree that 0/0 curves are something you should definitely look into (I fly without curves myself) I think a slight curve can make things a lot easier in the beginning or they might even be necessary if you have a joystick that isn't very precise. If you're more comfortable with curves, all power to you but personally I wouldn't want to fly with curves. I started out with a Logitech 3D Pro (or whatever it's called) and I couldn't fly straight without a hefty deadzone and a curve of 25/25. When I got my HOTAS WH I initially set it up with 20/20 curves but quickly reduced them to 0/0 and never looked back. It took me just a few hours of getting used to. I tried curves for the MiG-21 recently because someone said it was more realistic, but the reduced responsiveness around the centre really put me off. I quickly went back to 0/0 @OP: I would highly recommend to practise formation flying with a buddy before trying aerial refueling. If you can fly in close formation with someone else, you can probably get your tank filled without too much of a problem. I wrote this a while back: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=170423297 It may help a little but in the end it's only a lot of practice that will get you there.

Negative G kann die Bf109 nicht ab, da die Pumpen dann nur Luft ziehen. Im englischen Forum gibt es in den entsprechenden Threads Dokumente die das gut veranschaulichen IIRC hat die Kurfürst immer 1.8ATA zur Verfügung. MW-50 gibt dann nur den kleinen boost. Ich meine allerdings irgendwo im Bf109 Unterforum gelesen zu haben, dass man die K4 mit B4 Treibstoff ohne den Kühleffekt des MW-50 nicht auf 1.8ATA fliegen konnte ohne Gefahr zu laufen in kürzester Zeit ernste Schäden am Motor zu verursachen. Wenn ich da Falsch liege bitte korrigieren. Ich gehe eigentlich nie an die manuelle Blattverstellung außer manchmal bei Landungen um das Flugzeug schneller abzubremsen.

Highways Villages + DTAC Terrain, PeterPHDR & SweetFX & Mustangs Clouds Here are some more: I changed to Highways Villages + Low and Slow Terrain after I took these. Looks better with SweetFX than DTAC Terrain.

Hast du mal ein Repair durchgeführt? Nach dem letzten Patch musste ich nur einmal DCS Repair durchführen und abgeshen von dem eingesunkenen Hauptfahrwerk war dann wieder alles in Ordnung (falsche entry.lua). Das mit der neuen Aktivierung betrifft btw nicht alle Keys! Die entry.lua kann man auch korrigieren: Einfach die entry.lua (DCS World\mods\aircraft\MiG-21Bis) mit Notepad++ öffnen und den auskommentierten dofile Befehl in Zeile 81 aktivieren und Zeile 82 (suspension.lua) löschen. So sieht die korrigierte entry.lua aus: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2333838&postcount=7

AFAIK you don't need to edit anything. I switched to the russian cockpit a couple of weeks ago and never touched the Hint_localizer.lua. My tooltips are still in english.

Multiplayer formation flying:

Yes, I did look at your Screenshot and it's a bit puzzling because if it indeed shows TAS something is definitely not right! The TAS in the A-10C is what I would expect under those conditions (about 900ft, wind coming from the back at around 4-5m/s (not exactly sure what I put there), 220kn IAS, 234GS (according to TAD) so yes, 226TAS sounds about right. If I fly with the wind, the number in the F2 view goes UP, not DOWN. Exactly what I would expect if it would show GS but the opposite of what I expect if it's TAS. I fly with wind in my Missions so when I go into F2 I notice these things. This is from memory and I probably wasn't flying exactly with and into the wind but it shows a pattern: In the MiG at M2.05, 10000m (~33000ft) flying into the wind with wind at 14m/s at 8000m it shows ~1164kn while the TAS in the MiG Cockpit shows ~2200km/h. 2200km/h is about 1187kn. Now, if the wind is coming from the back, the fastest I've noticed was around 1210kn which I do not expect at all if it's TAS. So I guess what we can take from it is, that at least with wind, F2 is not showing correctly (if it is TAS which your screenshot suggests). I'll look into it some more tomorrow.

Then explain to me how that can be when in the aircraft that have instruments that show TAS it is often very different compared to F2 and in the A-10C GS is always off by 2kn compared to F2 no matter what? Did you even bother to look at the pics I posted? Same in the MiG-21. If I fly into the Wind TAS is higher than what is shown in F2, if I fly with the wind it's lower. So yep, I'd say it's GS Or F2 doesn't correct for wind?

Just look at the pics I posted. They clearly show that it's GS ;) http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2334782&postcount=14 I paused the game and then took the two screenshots: ~220kn IAS, TAD with GS (234kn) and PosInfo with TAS (226kn) on the CDU page. F2 view shows 236kn ... Wind is coming from about east, my heading is roughly 295.

Well F2 showing GS instead of TAS isn't necessarily a bug but since people in this thread were taking F2 as TAS I thought I should make them aware that it's actually GS. Doesn't matter too much if they're testing at sea level with no wind but nonetheless...

I was always under the impression that F2 shows GS, not TAS. At least in the A-10C, GS on the TAD or the CDU is always equal or very close to the speed shown in the F2 view and TAS often differs quite a bit from what is shown in F2. Same in the MiG-21, TAS needle often shows different values than F2. Proof: Look at the TAS on the POS Page and then the GS shown on the TAD. Compare to the F2 view. As you can see GS is only off by 2kn whereas TAS is off by 10kn!

Yes it's modeled. Just try one of the WWII birds like the TF-51D and you'll notice it. It's definitely less noticeable in the Jets though.

Very easy fix in the entry.lua just replace line 81 with this: dofile(current_mod_path.."/Entry/Hs")

yea that seems to be the case ;) Since I don't have a track here's what my SARPP gives me for the moment just before and just after I went out of burner: time/height in metres/IAS in km/h/G vert./G horiz./RPM 717.000000 10147.429688 1302.138916 1.141661 0.188510 100.027809 718.000000 10157.237305 1304.358887 1.149144 0.118310 96.451813

Ok, so I used a training map I build. Spring, 15°C, slightly different pressure at sea level than default summer one but it shouldn't differ too much. I might have been a bit above 10000ft actually but not too much. Watch your IAS, not your Mach needle. 1300km/h IAS is the never exceed limit which should be roughly M2.1 at 10000m, maybe a bit less. I immediately went out of burner every time I got to about 1295km/h IAS If you go above 10000m speeds higher than M2.1 should be possible without exceeding that limit. At 10500m you will reach it at about M2.13 or 2.14. Just be aware that you put a lot of stress on the engine if you exceed M2.05 for prolonged periods and these speeds will kill your engine in the long run no matter what.

The limit where the engine dies has to be higher surely? I just took her up to M2.1 at about 10000m without running into any kind of trouble.

I can get the AoA indicator lights on only below 650km/h it seems. At higher speeds than 650km/h IAS I will max out at about 20-25 AoA and around 900km/h IAS and higher I will black out before getting anywhere close to critical AoA

AFAIK you could always (and still can!) load them on both the 1-2 and the 3-4 pylons. http://abload.de/img/dcs2015-02-2813-12-36btr0k.png

The F-16 has a force sensing stick that only has very limited range to move. IIRC it wouldn't move at all in early models but it was later changed to move a little bit because of pilot feedback.
