All aircrafts have flight limits, even the A-10.

With Mavericks you should be able to override automatic pylon selection. My mistake was not to take into account that there was an empty rail on my left wing when the maveric was selected.

That is why the Pocket Guide has the limitations chapter and it has several graphics. Study them because all those limitations have been modeled and if you try to fly outside the parameters the aircraft will drop without warning. Been there, done that and made a lot of holes in the ground. Got a nasty surprise when using the Sidearm and a Maverick (I was carrying two sidearms and four mavericks), they left the same wing. Suddenly the aircraft was "heavy" on the other wing. I tried to make a turn to the heavy wing side and the wing dropped, the aircraft went into an unrecoverable spin and I hit the floor. The postmortem showed that the asymmetric load was 90,000 pounds-inch, or very close to the limit. When I turned into the heavy wing, the aircraft entered into a stall and fell. If I had maneuvered against the heavy wing, the aircraft would have responded without problems. And that is why I included the limitations chapter in the pocked guide.

Unlikely. A release, even if it is an update, is a major tasking so only one can be done at a time.

1.5.8 and 2.2.0. Those were the versions where the AV-8B NA was developed the last four months. 1.5.8 == 2.2.0 except for the maps. I should say that the inner workings of 1.5.8 and 2.2.0 are the same. Unfortunately maps drive the graphics engine so I'm not sure if the graphics are the same or not.

The cross shows where the missile is actually pointing at. The invisible keyhole indicates the launch limits for the missile. The missile seeker can slew wider than the missile can follow. That allows you to select a target without having to point the aircraft at it. But after a target lock you must maneuver the aircraft until the cross is inside the keyhole, otherwise the missile will miss. The cross is not needed for target lock. It is required for firing the missile within its launch parameters. Yes. The cross is still WIP. The aperture of the tracking gate indicates if the lock is good or not. If it is big then the missile lock is not good.

No mistery. ED authorized us to post the release date.

In due time. It is one of the first things to be done after Early Access release.

He did ask for in-game detail about probe animation, so no mistake at all.

I'll have to check that Cougar map thing. But no key bind is hard coded for the MPCDs (Multi Purpose Color Display or Multi Purpose Display).

Nozzles glowing at night:

Nozzle glow now has a daylight factor.

Just so nobody busts an artery due to high blood pressure over the nozzle glow, a time-of-day factor has been included to keep it real. The effect will be updated for other parameters as well.

If you don't quiet down, I will turn this thread around! :smartass: On a more serious note, ED is the one who is going to make the announcement. We cannot and won't comment on the issue.

The pilot now has his AN/AVS-9 NVGs mounted on his helmet. The helmet visor and the NVG are mutually exclusive and you have to choose in the ME if you want to mount the AN/AVS-9 in the helmet before you start the flight.

Agree. It is a validation test for the glow. It will be fixed.

AV-8B Plus making an emergency landing.

Here you get a preview of the AV-8B N/A engine sounds: They are still WiP and not finished yet.

Nozzle glow test. The nozzle glow depends on engine jet pipe temperature (JPT) and environmental factors. This is an early test, the final version will be slightly different.

The rear nozzles now glow with raw engine power. The glow is the product of the engine JPT (Jet Pipe Temperatture) as indicated by the FM.

The USMC put its most experienced pilots on the aircraft at first. But when they came out saying how easy it was, they started putting newly minted pilots on it and the fatalities skyrocketed.

No. It won't.

Hmmmm .... No comments. :smartass:

Here you go: All cockpit lights tint were chose with the use of NVGs in mind.
