Ok. I'll wait for your input.

It is feature complete. The EA title is because ED wants some final tweaks to the FM in the deceleration values.

Okay. I need a list of the switches/knobs for which you need specific values: OPTION 1, Value = 0 OPTION 2, Value = 1 etc. I will review them and then create the keybinds for those selected.

It is a non-clickable button in the stick.

That's an old version of Open Beta. The current one is 2.5.4.28xxx

You use the search antenna to fly towards the target. The tracking antenna will lock the first target it detects.

Yes, they are the only RU smoke generators available. We would have made era appropriate ones but there is no clear image on how they look.

Bare metal with numbers and national markings The 1950s were a bit unoriginal in aircraft liveries.

Folks we need to give names to the following liveries: Bulgaria Czechoslovakia PLAAF Romania By name we mean something like "2nd Squadron, 4th Fighter Regiment". Your help is appreciated.

The ill fated Microsoft Flight did implement it.

LMAO. It is very simple, but it is the best way I could explain why it is difficult to calculate exact frequencies for different ranges based on the dial position.

Here is the difference between the real ARK-5 device and the simulated one: If any of you had ever seen a pre-WWII radio, you would have noticed that they were big, heavy and had buttons for different frequency ranges, usually SW and MW. An old family friend had one. That specific radio had buttons for SW1, SW2, MW1, MW2, MW3 frequency ranges, with a single frequency tuning knob. That radio must have cost a pretty coin in its day. Anyway, in the back I noticed that the tuning knob moved a series of disks. Each disk corresponding to a frequency range. The knob moved all these disks at the same time, and the buttons selected which disk was doing the frequency tuning. All the disks began at the same 0 point, but the disks did not have the same circumference range. They had notches where the frequency range ended. Here is the problem with the simulated ARK-5. We have the same disks, but since we do not have a sample device, all these disks are the same length. So what happens when you move a specific frequency disk, like the 310-640? So if the disk was at the middle of the frequency range for 310-640, which should be 475Khz, that middle position is not exactly the middle position for the 640-1300 and the 150-310 frequency ranges. But, since we are assuming that all three disks are the same length, we calculate the middle frequency for the other two ranges: 150-310 and 640-1300. But these calculated frequencies are not exactly the real ones, and thus you need to fine tune. My decision to implement the two memories was based on this: the need to fine tune the NEAR frequency due to the inaccuracies in the frequency calculation. In real life, there was no need to do that.

No need for a special option. If you want hardcore, all you have to do is set the frequency range and do not move the fine tuning handle when using NEAR.

Well, the real problem is the time interval between when the system was used to present day. In this case it is nearly 50 years. Now those airports have ILS, TACAN and VORTACs for navigation and landing aid. The days of the ADF are long past, to the point that modern aircraft do not even include the system anymore.

I am not improving the past but enabling a function that no longer works due to changes made to the airports in the intervening time (50 years at least!). A landing aid that no longer works is as good as no landing aid at all. This way you get a working low visibility landing aid, which was the goal behind the FAR/NEAR logic.

Yes, we are aware of the problem with Caucasus map and ARK-5 physical limitations. That is the reason why we implemented the ARK-5 FAR/NEAR function this way. We believe that it is better to maintain the functionality, in this case the ability to use two different stations as a landing aid, over the real life limitation.

In the MiG-19P, due to the large number of switches and multiposition knobs that must be actuated, we have developed a default.lua that will simulate switch/knob movement by repeated action. For example the Weapons/Gunsight mode knob. It has 4 positions, and the default is NR30 (guns), which is position 3. In this case you will find the following keybinds: Weapons/Gunsight mode: Rockets/Bombs/NR30/Missiles Weapons/Gunsight mode: Missiles/NR30/Bombs/Rockets Each time you click on either the keyboard or joystick switch, the knob will move forward or backwards one place. That will help you simulate the pilot working by feel as opposed to having to look at the knob and using the mouse to click on it. It works like a charm. In my X-55 I just keep my eye on the target and work by feel with the throttle's switches. In air combat I can switch from guns to K-13As with the flip of a switch and viceversa.

The ARK-5 Automatic Direction Finder (ADF) is an electronic aid to navigation that identifies relative bearing of the aircraft from a Non-Directional Beacon (NDB), a radio beacon transmitting in the MF or LF bandwith. It consists for two antennas, a fixed one and a loop one. The loop antenna is rotated electronically to determine the direction of maximum reception from the beacon relative to the aircraft direction. The ARK-5 is electronically connected to the GIK-1 Navigation Instrument’s thin needle which will rotate to indicate relative bearing to the tuned NDB station. The ARK-5 has two frequencies memories, called FAR and NEAR. These frequencies can be automatically recalled by clicking on their control switch, located on the upper left bulkhead, below the frontal canopy frame. Controls The ARK-5 has the following controls: 1. A FAR/NEAR frequency selector switch. On the upper left bulkhead, below the frontal canopy frame. 2. Frequency Range Selector for the NEAR frequency. On the left bulkhead, near the Throttle Quadrant. 3. The main ARK-5 Control Panel on the right bulkhead: a. Frequency Range Selector for the FAR/NDB frequency for navigation or approach. b. Frequency fine tuning handle. c. Operational Mode Selector. d. Loop antenna control. e. Signal Strength Gauge. f. Telephony/Telegraphy Receiver Mode Selector. g. Backlight intensity control. h. Volume control. i. NDB Ident code audio output, located in the RSIU-4V radio control panel. Modes of Operation The ARK-5 has four modes of operation: • OFF: The ARK-5 is disconnected and non-operational. • COMP (COMPASS): The ARK-5 is tuned to a frequency and the GIK-1 ADF needle will show relative bearing to the NDB station. • ANT (ANTENNA): The ARK-5 frequency can be changed to a different one. The GIK-1 ADF needle will freeze until the ARK-5 is placed in COMP mode again. • LOOP: In this mode, the loop antenna is in manual mode. The pilot will rotate it by using the LOOP spring switch. The GIK-1 ADF needle will show the current antenna direction. How to operate a) Set the ARK-5 mode to ANT. b) Select the frequency memory that will be used, FAR or NEAR, by clicking on the frequency selector switch. c) Select the desired frequency range by using the appropriate Frequency Range Selector. NEAR selector is in the left bulkhead, FAR selector is in the ARK-5 control panel. d) Move the fine-tuning handle until the desired frequency is tuned. e) Check the signal strength gauge. f) Set the ARK-5 mode back to COMP. The GIK-1 ADF needle will start indicating bearing to the NDB station. How to use the ARK-5 for NDB navigation a) Select a frequency memory: FAR or NEAR. NOTE: FOR NAVIGATION SELECTION OF THE FAR/NEAR SWITCH POSITION IS IRRELEVANT b) Set the ARK-5 to ANT. c) Tune to the selected NDB by following the How to Operate instructions. d) Set the ARK-5 to COMP. e) Use the GIK-1 ADF needle as required. How to use the ARK-5 for Low Visibility Landings The selected airport should have at least one marker station. It works better if it has two: Outer and Inner Marker stations. a) Select the ARK-5 to ANT b) Select the FAR frequency memory. c) Tune to the airport’s OUTER MARKER station frequency by following the How to Operate instructions. d) Check the gauge to confirm that you are receiving a signal. e) Select the NEAR frequency memory. f) Tune to the airport’s INNER MARKER station frequency by following the How to Operate instructions. g) Check the gauge to confirm that you are receiving a signal. h) Select the FAR frequency memory. i) Set the ARK-5 to COMP. j) Maneuver the aircraft until the GIK-1 ADF needle is centered. k) Select the NEAR frequency memory. l) Maneuver the aircraft until the GIK-1 ADF needle is centered. m) Toggle between FAR and NEAR to confirm that for both frequencies the GIK-1 ADF needle is centered. NOTE: When the GIK-1 ADF needle is centered in both FAR and NEAR, you are aligned with the airport’s runway.

The default livery, which is a V-PVO aircraft, is available to all countries. There is a specific USSR/Russian livery that belongs to the VVS.

The EE Lightning and its contemporaries were designed and developed before the creation of the ICBM. Their main duty was to shoot down any nuclear capable bomber before it was able to deliver its payload. Basically their mission was: Get Out, Go There in a Hurry, Shoot Down Non-Maneuverable Target, Get Home. GCI or AWACS were a must because their radars were basically aiming aids. After the ICBM made its entrance, many of the these interceptors started to be used for other duties like CAP and CAS.
