When you say cross control, do you mean putting in opposite rudder aileron input to get a snap roll? I love doing that, I just wished DCS wouldnt make you black out for a second every time you do it. I turn it off. I noticed that it was proving very dangerous to leave it on when at low level when dogfighting. By the time you remember to recenter your controls to avoid crashing into the ground, you already have. Its hardly worth leaving it on to make turning on your autopilot a bit quicker.

Re script, its a same there isnt one that would trigger a radio call as it passes over an aircraft at a certain range 'Guns kill on the F5' etc. Might be worth making a request to ED on that one.

Great Balls of Fire! If you are going to use the Nellis range, its worth reading the Red Eagles book. The Navy were regularly going up against the Red Eagles over the Nellis range. Bio's Top Gun Days book is excellent as well of course. Wishing you best wishes on this one.

Bring 'em on, my Tomcat is feeling hungry. :)

If it doesnt work, try getting Jester to select the frequency a second time. It usually seemed to work then.

I know you fellas take a lot of flak when things arent going well. But this aircraft is really, really nice now. Thanks for all the efforts you are putting into it. Its paying off.

Not unlike the Phantom in Vietnam when you stop to think about it. Ive had instances where ive had the hydraulics bleed out and Ive managed to keep it in the air by rudder and using the flaps. By and large its not bad, but there are odd glitches. For example I took a missile hit to the nose, like head on, and it walked away from it with non fatal systems damage. Every tail hit kills the burners but does little other damage.. And there is the inexplicable fatal roll that occurs even if both wings and tailerons are intact. Its good, but there is some way to go on it yet I feel.

ACLS is broken with Supercarrier at the moment, im pretty sure the Devs have said so. I think the ILS is broken as well for that matter, at least as far as Glideslope. Master Cat 1's, they are fun. :D

It looks very impressive. Incidentally, you can get a good idea of various deck effects looking around Navysite.de. Here is how the icing looked like on the USS Enterprise in the sea of Okhotsk IIRC.

No, never used burners on on launch, and ive only ever had it happen once on the no1 CAT when I didnt use the flaps. Im idly wondering if sea state might be a partial explanation.

Had a blackout on take off, that I seem to have forgotten to have put the flaps down. Perhaps that is it. Ive had problems with not communicating with the ship in multiplayer. It wouldnt work at all trying to get permission to start, despite being able to listen to other players go around the ship. Ive had occasional problems where Ive had to have jester select the radio twice before it would work, but this time it didnt work at all. Might be finger trouble on my part of course, its happened before..... Is CATIII glideslope broken? I though it was the ACLS that was broke, but I was using just the needles and although I was on approach, I damn near flew into the water. Not being critical I might add, just chalking up my experience. A it is, the cat 1 approachs work fine, and flying this with the supercarrier is about the best experience ive had in simming in years.

Its funny, I was just about to post this one. :D Yes, East and West Germany would be just about perfect. We have all the major combat aircraft to make it viable. The real problem is going to be the urbanization which would be challenging, but setting it in the mid 80's would cut out a lot of urban sprawl. But PC's are getting faster clearly this is one that wouldbe in much demand.

I found it takes 2 requests from jester to make sure you are tuned in. Oh, he tunes in alright, you can see that on the panel repeater. But it doesnt work until you request again. Give it a try, i think its a jester or supercarrier bug.

The frame rate seems pretty good to me. Although its not necessarily helping my landing attempts...

Yeah, ive noticed this issue too. I found if I got Jester to set the frequency again, it would work perfectly. So there might be a jester issue there that could be flagged up to the Devs.

It wont take them long to put in then.:lol:

If thats true, I cant imagine it was true for the entire fleet. There doesnt striek me as much point having engines rated for low level maximum power output, in the ones Bomber Command used. Im guessing they are talking about FB's here.

Ive had this on other aircraft. Im not certain its a bug, I think its an attempt to simulate the pilots ears popping with altitude changes. If its a bug, I like it and what them to keep it in. :D

Going bck to the original question, the F14 was originally going to be procured by the US Marine Corp as well, as a replacement for the F4. It was only the spiraling cost that put them off, or so I understand. Many of the air to mud functions presumably were largely for their use.

Ive actually done a template (using Soviet radars) of the chain home radars opposite Normandy if its any use to anyone. I do wish we would get some ww2 radars into the ww2 asset pack soon. They are badly needed.

Nothing to say they cant do that later. After all, like the FW190F8, they will have done most of the hard work already. Just make sure it has Highball. :D

My bad, im not as familiar with the D9 as I am the K4.

Yeah, please turn it into a template muehlema. Feel free to link it here, its complimentary. I wish I could have found more about where the coast AA defences were. The most I could find were for 21st Panzer,the infantry divisions and Douvres radar. I did wonder about including radar. Id did a template for the location for British radars, with vaguely approximate soviet radars to fill in. I dont know if it works with the WW2 aircraft however, ive never tried it. Ditto the luftwaffe ones, it should be easy to make a template for them, but what is the point if they are something like twice the range of a wartime German radar? Seems a bit pointless.

Is it possible that people who are overheating have forgotten to turn on the MW50? The default position is off. Its a mistake I made for some time in my Kurfurst. So many burned out Daimler Benz engines. :D

I actually found there was a flak battery (probably light flak) covering Evreux which I didnt put in on the 1st June version. I would amend that, but I think it would cause more confusion than its worth at this point. :D Im glad people are finding it interesting. I just wanted something to put a decent wall of flak for when the Mosquito comes out, but doubtless it will put the fear of God into P47 pilots as well.
