Can you explain? What I see in the video is asymmetric stall, exactly what I would expect from the stick input.

Don't get too used to manual radiator flaps control, though. It isn't realistic, the knob is only there to change the temperatur set point for the automatics. There simply is no manual control. Some time back Yo-Yo posted something to that effect and that it will probably change in the sim.

I know that as divide by 10 then multiply by 3, same thing. That is the standard conversion for when you have to do it mentally and much more accurate than divide by 3.

Probably more because a nose intake limits what kind of radar you can stuff into it.

...except the lights not working anymore once you exceed 700 km/h. Surely I can't be the only one to have noticed this?

I don't know if it is simulated, but if you are in a side slip these indications are unreliable. Enough side slip, and the air gets sucked out of instead of rammed into the pitot tube and then speed indications can go into negative if there is nothing to stop the needle at zero.

I've been doing a couple of high climbs on the VA server in December. Not really zooming at the end, but the AoA gets really high at that altitude. Actually trying to deal with the AoA may have caused me to do a few inadvertent zooms... I went with the bare 21, no external tanks. Afterburner continuously on from take-off, climb around 700 km/h until 8000 to 10000 m (before M0.9 would be best I think) then shallow dive to go supersonic (at least M1.2) and continue climb until it goes no further. It's pretty easy. Screenshot shows me descending shortly after flame-out at 23430 m. More than half the fuel left for a leisurely flight home after restarting the engine below 10000 m.

It knows where the plane is pointed at and how fast it is flying in the air. Through the inertial navigation system (backed by GPS in modern planes) it knows in which direction and how fast it is travelling over ground. The difference between these is the wind speed and direction.

Sicher, dass das nur in DCS passiert? Sowas habe ich auch seit einiger Zeit vor allem innerhalb der ersten 10 oder 15 Minuten nach dem Booten. Das passiert aber auch in anderen Programmen und auf dem Windows Desktop selbst. Also so, dass manchmal der Sound langsamer abgespielt wird bis es anhält (der aktuelle Sound-Puffer in einer Schleife abgespielt wird), der Mauszeiger geht noch kurz und friert dann auch ein. Nach einigen Sekunden läuft alles wie als ob nichts passiert wäre weiter. Aber bei mir eben unabhängig vom laufenden Programm. Ich konnte bisher noch keine Ursache eingrenzen. Und ich habe eine AMD Grafikkarte auf Intel CPU.

Actually it does care about roll, it keeps your bank angle stable.

I was really just guessing at a reason for deceleration. As far as my reasoning went, mine shells would have a higher ratio of explosives to lead (or whatever metal), but I didn't actually look up anything.

Dude... Dude you could have set up a sweet pun by saying "medium and long range missiles weren't even on the radar of the designers at the time", but you didn't. You blew it, man, you blew it.

Hmm... Free fall of 41 m in 9.81 m/s² takes about 2.9 s. Over 1000 m that makes for an average velocity of about 346 m/s. If the mine shell loses velocity rather quickly from air drag (high caliber / low mass?) that does not seem outrageously far off.

First, it's Bernoulli. Second, of course there will be Bernoulli effects, no profile can magically transcend physics. Third, this "more like a fin" doesn't even mean anything. A thin symmetric profile may need a little more AoA than thick profiles at low speeds, but we're talking 1700 km/h here (even if it's TAS, comparable IAS has been posted already). Edit: Okay, this post may have been a bit rude. What I'm guessing is that you've fallen for that "air molecules race along the wing to meet up again with their dear friend molecules on the other side they have been separated from" explanation of aerodynamic lift. Just forget that you ever heard that explanation, it's a big load of nonsense.

Things like jumping in a high performance tail-dragger fighter without previous piloting experience? How does that make the FM wrong? I mean, what you're saying boils down to "crashing a plane in a flight simulator doesn't kill the player in real life, therefore the FM is wrong".

There is no real reason to turn off the nav lights during flight (outside of threat zones of course). These regulations are also just for the US. In Germany for example, nav lights are only mandatory for aircraft that are operated during the night. But if nav lights are equipped, then it is mandatory to use them at all times in flight, including during clear daylight. Navigation lights are steady lights. The flash setting is presumably to reduce bright lights during night operations on the ground. As far as regulations go, "flashing navigation lights" is probably equivalent to "no navigation lights".

You're not supposed to use them when landing. Don't ask me where I read that, but I'm pretty sure I did read it somewhere.

Just to avoid any confusion: The fuel gauge doesn't measure the contents of the tanks. It is set to the total fuel available (which the ground crew is kind enough to do as part of the "rearming" which includes topping up the other consumables and loading the braking chute) and it continually subtracts from that what the engine is consuming. So it is to be expected that it does not match actual fuel during refueling. That it slowly increases until engine start seems fishy though.

Note that the laser code settings in the TGP do not configure the bomb as far as I know. If you/JTAC use a code different from the default, you will have to reconfigure the bomb's laser code in the DSMS inventory page.

Also, wasn't Milviz already a third party that announced working on projects for DCS and then left again? Or am I remembering the wrong name?

Are you sure you have the take-off assist option or whatsitcalled off? It's enabled by default and it means well, but... Just check that these options are off for both the P-51 and D-9.

And then there's the fact that the blue or red text is just shown over background, making it totally unreadable unless you look in a direction where there's a suitable background. Yeah, it's really annoying and I want a solution for that myself. But it's a general DCS World problem and not tied to the A-10C module.

Isn't the radar antenna supposed to be gyro-stabilized? Meaning that 1.5 degrees down means "below horizon" not "below airplane center line". Or is that just the RP-21 radar?

I looked and for nm it appears to be simply "times 2 subtract 10%". So for 1 nm you get 1.8 km (2 - 0.2) where the correct conversion would be 1.852 km. It's only ~3% short whereas simply "times 2" is 8% too long.

The standard formula for mental feet to meters conversion is to divide by ten then multiply by three. It's much more accurate and no harder. 30000 feet = 9144 m 30000 / 3 = 10000 30000 / 10 * 3 = 9000
