Looks like 'I MARRIED...' to me. Probably a fan of John Cooper Clarke (NSFW lyrics):

I can't think what else it is supposed to mean. What I can say though is I've got it for landings which a replay shows clearly to have been main wheels first. Maybe a degree or so more nose down than ideal, but definitely not three points. I suspect that the LSO-bot's grading is still in need of refinement.

Thanks G B. :thumbup:

Speaking of hooks, where in the circuit do you lower it, per SOP? I've got into the habit of doing it early (when I don't forget - that blinking light is useful :doh:), to give myself one less thing to think about as I sort myself out on the downwind leg.

Ah, that explains it. Thanks.

I've just updated my DCS install, and noticed that of the 82.8 GB used, 33.3 GB is in my Mods folder. If I installed any of that myself, it must have been done some time ago, and I don't think I need it now, since I can't remember what any of it does. Is it safe to delete the content of the Mods folder and its subfolders, or is there stuff in there that is necessary for the sim to work?

I don't think you'll get any thrust with the rads fully open - the Meredith effect is only significant when the nozzle outlet size is optimised for the airflow and radiator temperature.

As of now there is nothing definite stating that the map includes any part of England at all.

You are asking for a much larger map than the one currently being developed. It covers part of Normandy, and possibly a small section of the south coast of England (though this is unconfirmed). Neither London nor Paris are anywhere near.

Images not showing...

Removing the option in-game won't stop people from using external software to get the same effect.

I wouldn't touch that tool with a ten-foot bargepole - the 'wiki' seems to be nothing but a platform for promoting 'tools' from an unspecified source. No name, no contact details, nothing...

Sorry, but what you've got on that pdf aren't reciprocals. A reciprocal course is one 180° from the one originally given. The reciprocal of 10° is 190°, not 350° for example... http://www.digitalflightinstructor.com/reciprocal-headings/

Yup - I sorted my issue with the gifted Huey module not being activated the same way: e.g. running 'DCS_updater.exe install UH-1H' in the beta .bin directory. :D

It took some time, but the module manager eventually made everything available for me - except for the Huey, which I was gifted. I can't see any way to persuade it to check for this.

Yup - updating now. :thumbup:

Very generous. I'm in. :)

Burma? No, definitely not. Corsica: http://www.angelfire.com/sd2/spitfirefactory/mj730.htm

More like a zero than what?

The Scandinavia map has now been released - with spectacular scenery etc. Expect to get confused by some of the intersections: :huh:

It has certainly changed somehow - I'm still struggling with smooth transitions, but at least I'm not dropping out of the sky quite so often.

An interesting announcement from the RoF developers: the Ilya Muromets project is to be merged with RoF, as per the many requests from the community. The update (due Dec 18th) will also include "many bug fixes that you have asked for along with some Flight Model tweaks that have long been requested by ROF users". http://riseofflight.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?t=44683

Yup, the F-35 isn't exactly a beauty. Or as John Farley (Harrier test pilot) heard it described "It looks like a badly opened tin". http://www.pprune.org/military-aviation/548696-harrier-replacement.html

Just a thought - is your graphics card overheating? Weirdness like that can sometimes be the result of a buildup of fluff, cat hairs and whatever else finds its way into your PC's innards...

Doesn't turning the flight director on effectively turn off the heading and altitude channels on the AP, while turning on the flight director cues on the HUD? If so, as I see it you are better off just turning the heading and altitude channels off, unless you actually want the flight director cues. I suppose it depends why you are manoeuvring - to follow the preplanned course, or to engage a target etc.
