The engine is fed with oil to the pump by gravity, therefore without gravity it doesn't get fed and will go bang. !0 secs max is neg G limit. (Same as a RR Merlin and for the same reason) ..

That's just how I use to practice, using Mig 15/21, Sabre and Hawk, popping up to about 7000'. Single undefended vehicle and no air defence was the target. Gradually add AAA/SAM and this no longer works, so bring down the alt. in stages, once the technique has been honed, until the above mentioned Real Life profile could be reliably repeated.. 700' release is for HD bombs in a 10deg dive, but in DCS MK 82 slicks can be used, without damage to the aircraft, but not Mk 84. In RL 1500' would be used for Mk 82 slick. This of course, is a single RL example and not a cut in stone method. ..

The whole idea of Popup, is to approach at low altitude, to avoid detection, pop up briefly to ID target at about 2000', then back down, release at about 700' , exit at L/L to avoid AAA/SAM. Pop Up to 12000' makes you the ideal target. If it works for you, then enjoy. ..

There is no long range tank fitted. ..

I always chuck the whole load at the target, (SA10), so with 520 smart skeets covering a large area, it doesn'treally matter if some are early or late, most of the whole is obliterated, with hopefully the most important Tracking Radar. 82's have a narrow fall line and small splash damage, so a lot of the site gets missed. ..

The F15E can destroy any SAM site on this map, with CBU 97 at Low Level or Toss, but let's see what 4 F18 with HARM can do to help. 16 HARM shot at the Island resulted in all being shot down by SA10. F18 all killed during trying to re attacks. Add 4 Harrier, 16 AGM 122 and things change. With the SA10 out of ammo, the Harrier scored many hits, but the death rate was high during re attacks. SA10/15/19 also were able to shoot down AGM 122, which is new to me. Add 8 more SA10, (2 vehicles), and my job is still to destroy the SA10 site, (Track Radar), before the SEAD group get there.. ..

My AP holds attitude, Altitude, Heading, and Steerpoints, from 80' to 30000' without problems and has done since day 1. ..

Increased the SAM's to: 2 SAM 3, SAM 6, SAM 11, SAM 13, SAM 15, SAM 19, 4 Igla, and numerous AAA, about 10. 3 Igla and 2 SA 19 launched without hits. Went round again at a higher level and a SA 19 scored a hit. ..

I've been using Weapons Delivery Manual, by Bunyap, for many years now. Direct Popup. Offset Popup. Works well on Mig 15/21, F-86, Harrier and F-15e. Use in CDIP, for unknown positions, where CCRP is not possible. More risky when AAA and Manpads are about. ..

Toss, Pop Up, or Low level, using slicks, CBU's or Rockeye's, the SAM defences have given no real opposition to low level DEAD missions against this airfield, from my F-15. Protecting this airfield are:- 2 SA3, SA6, SA10, SA11, SA13 and numerous AAA. The biggest danger was from the SA13, which chucked a couple of missiles at me, but the deadliest is from AAA. If you go in L/L, all of these are defeated. OK lets press on. Add manpads and SA15. ..

My method for taking out the tracking radar, in this case SA3 site. 12 CBU 97. Sea level approach. PoP Up to 900'AGL. CDIP. Back to Sea Level. Tracking Radar removed. ..

You can't straight roll a Gazelle because it has a floppy rotor and any negative G will destroy it, unlike a B 105 which has a solid rotor and can take up to -1 G. You can barrel roll a Gazelle, (in DCS), providing you keep G on all the way round. ..

O.E.A.D. Haha I like it. . 82's are OK, but you can't beat 97's for an OEAD. SA10, protected by SA3 and SA11. Plus numerous AAA, obliterated by CBU 97's. ..

Full load short runway. High Halden, 4200', 111', Nil wind. 100 % fuel. 4 x 500 lb bombs. 22262 lb. (262 lb overload). Flap 15%, Trim nose down 2.0, Aileron 1 tick right, Rudder, 0.3 to 0.5 right. 3000 rpm. Throttle to 4 lb boost against brakes, release and immediately increase to max 18 lb boost. Keep straight with rudder. Lift off at 120 mph. ..

You will get a dozen different answers to the T/O question. E.g. I never use brakes to keep straight. This vid won't help you much, but it shows how easy it is, to keep straight, if you use rudder only. ..

On Line. (Multiplayer). ..

Here's the scenario. China has total economic influence over Saipan/Tinian and builds a military airbase. China attacks Taiwan and forces an attack on Rota and establishes a Radar station and SA 11, SA 10 and SA 3 SAM sites, threataning GUAM. Anderson is destroyed by DF 26 missile attack from China. All that is left are a few Harriers and FE-15 aircraft. SAM's must be destroyed before full control of Rota is completed, using Toss Bombing of slicks and Rockeyes. I've been running this scene since the F15 came out and apart from the problem detailed earlier in your thread, which also affects the Harrier, the ASL has always stuck solid to the target diamond, wind or no wind. Not much help, but maybe it's an O/L thing. ..

Yes and I'm glad you brought it up. I would not have noticed it until I specifically looked. This shows that Polychop are on the ball with this new FM and I'm enjoying flying it as a pure helicopter experience. Pagan, Marianas. ..

That sums it up. Left roll is correct. ..

@davidp57 Maybe it's connected with this. ..

@Hiob Tried this with your settings. 90% load M model. I've been using the previous FM at full load, so the first take off in this FM, I fell over using too much pre T/O trim. I found it needed the tiniest amount of right rudder and minimal left stick. Eventually I applied these just after lift off with about 68% torque. to the hover in GE. Pulling away, more rudder was required, but I didn't get the left roll you saw. i'll give it more practice..

Check for double bindings, because mine is rock solid and very precise in all axes. ..

AP, (A), is AP on, Attitude Hold, then the sub menus. ..

The USAF have started an enquiry over the runway lights incident. Standard proceedure. ..
