There should be an emergency gear extension switch somewhere. Airbrake probably won’t work though as I assume it requires hydraulics

The engines of the F4 are at at 5 degree angle. This means when you add power (especially at low speed) the nose tends to come down. Then you correct but when you reduce power the nose comes up again. It can lead to PIO. The F18 and F14 engines are angled differently so when you add power the nose comes up. Exactly opposite and you’ve conditioned yourself to that. It’s similar to a tractor prop vs a pusher prop in GA aircraft (usually)

So after flying the F4 I’m wondering why the F14 (which is newer) doesn’t have the flaps blow up above flap speed like the F4 does? I’m pretty sure that it’s true to life as heatblur does tons of research, but why didn’t they implement this safety feature IRL? The only reason I can think of is maybe something to do with the variable sweep wing but that’s just a guess.

True

The flaps and gear are different too. I’m not against playing around on the carrier but it might make it hard to adapt to the naval version when it comes if you’re used to trapping 50knots above the normal speed.

You can try and do a “restore files” of that specific folder from windows. Depends on how you’ve set up your computer if I will work or not.

If you look at his previous posts up thread he believes having a 4k monitor should be an advantage (in spotting) over someone flying in 1080p. This is why I stopped responding. It’s just become trolling at this point.

I just set up a voice attack macro that does it in under a second

You say I7 but what processor is it? An I7 from 2005 will be different from an I7 from 2024.

I understand this and have been doing this, but for new players to DCS it’s a little disconcerting to go to the training section and still have no idea about some of the basics. The first thing I do when I get a module is to go through the training missions. I use the manual as needed but it shouldn’t be necessary for basic issues like how to turn on the CW switch etc. the A10 and the Harrier (now) are the. Only modules that really walk you through the aircraft. It’s one thing to read about it in a manual and another to actually get in cockpit and press buttons.

sure, but a training mission that supposedly teaches you how to use A/A missiles but doesn't mention this, or many other relevant things such as how to use the gun is well below normal Heatblur quality. Love the module, certain training missions need work and more need to be included. Why is there no training for Shrikes? Why does the bombing mission only really teach about dive toss? Why is there only 1 WSO training mission that basically just goes over some basic radar operation? I felt the same with the F14.

if only there was a training mission where you learned how to use the a/a missiles. Bit of a fail on Heatblur's part there

And never really goes over gun operation

How bad does your flying have to be to have jester jump before landing!

What it does changes depending on the context of what you’re doing. Air to air, air to ground, etc

That’s the old definition of early access. Now it means a module that is still under development.

You’re assuming I have poor hardware. Just because I want a level playing field doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy (or have) good hardware.

The release on May 21 IS the early access

There are plenty of advantages to having high end hardware- spotting difference shouldn’t be one. I am against pay to win in any situation, just because you can do it elsewhere doesn’t mean it should be done here. you obviously are mad that throwing money at a problem doesn’t make you better than others. This is a problem with you, not the game.

So then it turns into pay to win. Those who can afford the newest monitor or highest resolution VR have an immense advantage over those with “medium” hardware.

Don’t forget that jester flew f4s in ‘nam! oops, I just realize that was Viper. They never really went into Jester’s back story

You should be stopping the laser after the weapon hits.

I agree that Discord is not the answer.

Tl:dr? For those of us who don’t use discord

Coming back to this module and had a question. In the campaign it mentions inputting the waypoint elevation data during alignment. Usually I just ignore that but I’m wondering wouldn’t that mess up the alignment? If I set PRE20 for starting alignment will it continue to align to those coordinates if I then switch to the other waypoints in order to edit them? I’m not able to test this myself currently so just wondering if anyone knows.
