It was on the latest release version. I'll try downloading the latest patch for Open Beta and see if it makes a difference.

I believe you have to purchase it as it has a lot of new content.

Looks like a WIP damage model for the C-101 has been released in today's open beta patch.

ok. fyi, I found a couple of work arounds. If you place a C-101CC and then change it to a C-101EB, then the special options tab is available. Also, if you can't select a player controlled C-101EB, place any other aircraft on the map and make it player controlled. Then you can select the C-101EB again and change its properties. Make sure to make the C-101EB player controlled again once it has focus.

great news! On a separate note, I found a few mission editor bugs with the C-101EB. First, once you place a player controlled C-101EB on the map and deselect it, you can't select it again. Same thing if you open a mission with a player controlled C-101EB. C-101CC works fine funny enough. Second, the C-101EB doesn't seem to have the special options available, for example, solo flight or IFR hood. Again, it works fine for C-101CC. Third, the default smoke system payload in the weapons selection screen seems messed up. It has a red colourant where white smoke should be. I had to create a custom payload for the smoke to work properly. Thanks for all the hard work! :)

I wonder if you have the 'hear like in helmet' option checked. That makes things quieter.

This is normal as you gain air speed.

Probably known but the flap and air brake motor sounds now seem to be missing. Also, can this thread be stickied?

And of course there are the VORTAC stations which are obviously combined VOR stations and TACAN stations and give both bearing / course and distance. The Nevada dog fight mission makes use of a VORTAC to help you navigate back to base.

This is my understanding for the CC ... NDB: gives bearing information through ADF radio VOR: gives course / bearing information through NAV radio VORTAC: gives course / bearing / DME information through NAV radio set to DME TACAN: gives DME information through NAV radio set to DME

Just a low-priority request but I was wondering if we could have consistency in the way the click-to-rotate buttons behave. In the CC, it seems the radio buttons turn counter-clockwise with a left button click and clockwise with a right button click. But on the weapons arming panel, it's the opposite. And on the EB, the radio buttons turn clockwise with a left button click and counter-clockwise with a right button click. My personal preference would be that all the dials turn counter-clockwise with a left button click and clockwise with a right button click. But I mainly just request consistency. My small brain gets confused.:D

No. It was never meant for that. But really none of the trainers can "properly" land on a carrier. It's a fun bird anyways. I recommend it.

From the news letter ... "We plan to release both the Christen Eagle II and the C-101 into Steam in February 2019."

Great to hear! So, I assume it will be in the next released patch (not today's)?

I have an old joystick so not a lot of buttons on mine. I use the hat as airbrake extend / retract. And I have assigned one of my joystick buttons as a modifier which changes the hat to act as a trim button. Or you could do the reverse. EDIT: Plus the advantage is you can control how much air brake you want. Good for formation flying where you might just want to drop a few knots.

A couple of reasons: First, there is no toggle brake in the real aircraft. Second, the brake toggle causes the aircraft to trim uncontrollably because the air brake system is linked to the trim system.

enjoy the vibrating rudder pedals. :)

Calm down. Valentines is still a ways away.:music_whistling:

There seem to be a few VOR/DME stations in the Persian Gulf map but maybe they're not implemented.

So, do I have this right? In order to have range and bearing information, you have to be tuned into either a TACAN or VOR-DME for range and an NDB for bearing? So the TACAN / VOR-DME would have to be in pretty close proximity to the NDB be useful.

Yup. Glad this little plane is getting the attention it deserves. The Grim Reapers just did a whole tutorial series on it. I know they're a silly bunch but it's good exposure. Hope AvioDev gets a nice bump in sales.

I find it useful during hard manoeuvering when you don't have time to look down at the AoA dial.

Sorry. Ottawa, Canada is the end of the world. A frozen, barren wasteland.:music_whistling:

Nice read, Beach. Thanks for the article. :)

Good to hear. :smilewink:
