:thumbup: really love the su25. Nice video!

Thanks Pacman, this is an excellent refresher, and i'm sure an invaluable aid for any beginner! Your way of presenting the pros and cons, and also the order in which you decided to present the stuff is just right i think. Makes the video fluid...

Thanks a lot Jabbers, nice refresher about waypoints navigation. Course setting is not exclusive to tacan!

Ok, I see no reply so bumping this thread. That may not be a mission editor issue but a game engine issue. Mods please move the thread if this is confirmed. For me, the winds and somewhat the rain are correctly depicted when flying a mission. However changing the clouds height or density will not. I will see the correct cloud altitude displayed on the briefing (alt B) but the visual representation in game will always be moderate number of clouds at 3000m... Feedbacks?

It just happened to me on my first attempt on a MP server, was refueling and right when I was expecting the basket to disconnect it froze. Had to reboot to recover... So too early to draw conclusions as piston85 reports this issue on sp... for me so far only mp...

For the OP and Piston85, do you only experience that in MP? I have not a single hickup while doing aar in singleplayer, s3 or kc130, multiple refuels on the same flight. Not tested that in mp yet, so wondering what your conditions were...

Any of you know what's the vertical coverage of the rwr? Is it +/-45 degrees like in the f15c?

Yes just found out the same info in the bugs subforum and that clears the question. Missing step in checklist. Thanks!

Yep, same thing for me. Theres another thread about that ins-att on the main f18c forum, another guy reporting the same as well. For now leaving att source on auto works fine for me and no message displayed.

I've also experienced that after cold starts. After alignment done and finishing the last checklist steps: switching attitude source to stanby and i got ins-att. Switching back to auto and it was gone. No impact on flight/nav... Anybody else? I may miss something important there but I really can't think of what it could be... as alignment completed and rotary set to nav.

On the f18 you can use the tdc to change the range, and I think you can even change some other parameters using the tdc cursor like mode or number of bars, though none of that has been medelled in this first EA.

I think that com1/com2 are uhf and vhf only, so I don't believe you can tune NDB frequencies (khz range). To be confirmed though...

Very interesting stuff, thanks! I like the "we can run into problems if..." part, meaning that personally I'll stick with the natops recommendations :D

From the natops aerobraking is not recommended, and this explanation may explain the behavior you experience? Open question... Track down the runway centerline using rudder pedals to steer the aircraft. Aerodynamic braking is not recommended. Getting the nosewheel on the ground and use of aft stick (programmed in by light braking and slowly pulling the stick aft after touchdown so only the minimum required distance to command full aft stabilator deflection by 100 knots) provides faster deceleration from the stabilators and more directional control with use of the NWS.

Curious as well...
