As of today, we still cannot detach the rocket tubes after the rockets have been fired. The "Emergency Wing Load Release" and "Gerät 21 Absprengung" switches still don't work. I hope ED intends to have that fixed.

Not really possible... Format isn't compatible

Uploaded updated versions of F-86, MiG-15, Mirage 2000 and Gazelle guides.

Yup.

Who did it then?

Gave the Mi-8 guide some love and a much needed update (mainly checklists, gunners and some formatting). There is still some work to do. *********** For those who were wondering about "is X or Y guide updated?", here's my current list of actions to take to support current guides already published. They won't be done overnight... but gradually, at my own pace, when I can find some time. Spitfire -Add Drop Tank and Fuel Management tutorial -Add Bomb tutorial P-51 -Address various formatting issues -Add Drop Tank tutorial FW190 -Address various formatting issues -Add rocket tutorial BF109 -Address various formatting issues -Add Drop Tank tutorial Mirage -Add D2M tutorial -Revise all weapon procedures (sigh) -Add Flare Programming tutorial F-86 -Add Drop tank tutorial MiG-15 -Add Drop tank tutorial -Revise radio navigation tutorial (procedure has apparently changed) Gazelle -Add MISTRAL tutorial MiG-21 -Add SPS-141 and IFF tutorial

Regarding the Fuel Contents button debate, I'm going to quote two interesting posts from the A2A forums talking about it: The Spitfire is quite an old design by WW2 standards (first Type 300 flew in 1936) and the accelerated development and tight budget Reginald Mitchell and Joe Smith were under forced them to take design decisions that may just have been common practice at the time. Keep in mind that back in those days, there were no norms nor unified design standards, which ironically makes WW2 one of the richest (and most fascinating) periods of history in terms of aircraft design diversity. I distinctly remember funny design choices in other aircraft of the time (like the infamous Yak-1's fuel quantity gauge being placed ON the wing itself or the Tiger Moth's fuel quantity indicator looking like some kind of thermometer placed on top of the biplane's upper wing).

Thanks Wags (and everyone else)! Made a first pass and uploaded corrections.

Nope, there's no way. That's how the gauge works.

Working on it. There are just so many guides and so few Chucks to update them all.

Gotcha, will fix tonight.

I couldn't add either bombs or drop tanks. I guess it'll be implemented in a later update. Without drop tanks you can fly for a good hour though.

Please let me know if there are mistakes or typos.

Hi gents, Would anyone be so kind as to explain to me how we must use the P8 compass to set the Directional Gyro? I'm not quite sure I can read the P8 correctly and little to no information is available in the flight manual regarding its operation. Thanks in advance, Chuck

In many sections, there are occurences of Boost Pressure units being referred as in "ft/in2". They should be referred to in lb/in2 (psi).

DSV: Détendeur à Section Variable "Le DSV est un dispositif à volets (8 volets), placé dans la veine du flux secondaire, afin d’en faire varier la section. La régulation DSV permet de contrôler le taux de dilution, par action sur le débit d’air du flux secondaire et d’optimiser les performances dans tout le domaine de vol." DSV is a device with 8 flaps, placed in the vein of the secondary flow, in order to vary its section. The DSV regulation allows to control the dilution ratio, by acting on the flow of air of the secondary flow and to optimize the performances throughout the flight envelope. http://www.defense.gouv.fr/content/download/399415/6008608/file/T%C3%A9l%C3%A9charger%20le%20rapport%20public%20BEAD-air-A-2010-008-A.pdf TLDR: I'm not sure DSV stands for FBW. It doesn't fit with the description I am reading in this accident report.

Speaking of which, while we're at it, if you guys spot anything that's "wrong" in my guide (or has been updated) with the weapon procedures, please let me know and I'll have those fixed.

Then I should get that changed and put on my "to do" list.

That is what I meant.

Not touching it until it''s design is more or less frozen. Backtracking 120+ pages every patch just takes too much time that I don't have. It's a process that has become too frustrating/debilitating otherwise.

Holy guacamole that sounds epic!!!

I'll put a link to your checklist in the References section when I get the chance. Mine is more of a "quick n' dirty", yours is much more complete. Thanks for reminding me, it completely slipped under the radar for a while. Oops, my bad. Will fix when I get the chance.
