Antenna roll vs roll stabilization https://f4.manuals.heatblur.se/systems/radar/interface.html#polarization-control This section mentions the antenna not being "roll stabilized", in this case meaning unable to roll itself. "However, because the antenna is not roll stabilized increased return intensity may be seen when rolling the aircraft." In later sections like https://f4.manuals.heatblur.se/systems/radar/general_operation.html#nor the antenna is then said to be roll stabilized. "the antenna is stabilized in pitch and roll to the horizon" This could confuse some.

Fuel boost system https://f4.manuals.heatblur.se/systems/engines_and_fuel_systems/fuel_system.html#fuel-boost-system "The pumps are installed at the bottom of the tank to provide fuel in the event of a negative G excursion." This could be confusing to some as to why/how this works without additional information.

Landing gear emergency extension handles https://f4.manuals.heatblur.se/systems/flight_controls_gear/gear_ground_handling.html#landing-gear-emergency-extension-handles Minor typo or structure issue with the "...is...is...". "The emergency extension is commanded in the front cockpit is performed using the Gear Control Handle..."

The section about "Anti-G suit control valve" mentions "crewman" which could be gendered to something neutral like crew. https://f4.manuals.heatblur.se/cockpit/pilot/left_console/aft_section.html#anti-g-suit-control-valve

Phantoms Phorever. PRE-ORDER & REVEAL Trailer
Whirley replied to IronMike's topic in DCS: F-4E Phantom
I agree, I'd also rather wait than see you people crunch. -
+1 Illumination flares would be nice.

Experimented a bit more. I found it weird that the Gazelle is so easy to hover in VR without SAS. Not only hover alone, but also looking through the periscope sight or the monitor and targeting things I find a lot easier than in other helicopters (and that is with SAS on in Apache for instance, and hovering in Mi-8, Hind, Huey). But I didn't compare them all right now and my memory might serve me wrong. I only compared against the Huey right now. It seems to be easier to hover than all the other helicopters. With them sooner or later you will leave equilibrium and 2 axes will need correction. With the Gazelle it seems so stable and that you mostly need only work against the drift in a single axis and you are fine again. So I wondered whether the SAS channels are actually modeled or if they are always on. So I tried them out. I found that if the SAS channel switches are on they have an effect on the aircraft. You can see the SAS channel indicators showing values then and you can notice the aircraft getting different control input when you toggle the switches on and off. You don't need that master autopilot switch to the left of them on for that, it can remain off. For instance close to hover in a slight roll to the right if you toggle the roll channel, the roll attitude would start to change. And if you toggle back the helicopter will tend to stay in the previous attitude. So it is not that the SAS is always on and not actually modelled as making a difference. I didn't investigate whether turbulance makes a difference or not. In the server I just tried a slight turbulance and wind was on (Kirk's Hangar). Or maybe it is just a difference in input handling compared to ED helicopters. I don't know. Something else is that when you tilt the Huey to the left or right in a hover it will start yawing almost immediately (with slight wind from front). When you do that with the Gazelle it will only tilt. Only in exaggerated tilt (or forward flight and tilt, I don't remember) will it yaw into the tilt direction. Being no pilot and not remembering all the theoretical helicopter dynamics I've read I can't tell what is more realistic. And obviously it even might differ between the airframes. But it is somehow weird that it is so stable, even though it is lighter and would probably be more nervous in wind. But weird need not be wrong, maybe the big Fenestron tail stabilizes it more in the slight wind from the front.

I gave it another spin. I think I really might have had a problem with the SAS or with the strongish wind on the Hoggit Training server when I first tried it after the update. I also didn't pay much attention to the ball then. It feels pretty nice now. No idea how real it is but if people struggle with it then try to fly it without SAS and watch the wind direction and pay attention to the ball a bit. That might help you.

Thanks, so maybe it is mostly correct with SAS and just feels weird to me. Probably because it has less inertia than the Apache, Hip, Hind and Huey. After all many people seem to see a major improvement. I also fly springless and never trim (yaw channel off in Hind, but stability on on everything else in those who have) so maybe I was fighting the SAS at the time I tried the new flight model.

I am no real pilot. But what felt weird to me about the new flight model is the way the helicopter locks into a new attitude after changing input. For instance it would fly with a slight tilt to the side and feel locked in that attitude until you change input. Is that the augmentation system or is that inaccurate? It feels as if it had a fly-by-wire computer control. After changing cyclic or collective it would be dynamic for a moment and then it would be like on rails. Maybe the short moment comes frlm the engine modelling and the FADEC doing its thing until things are balanced again. But it feels extremely balanced. Haven't tried it again since the flight model update because it still felt weird to me. Different because of the way the engine has to catch up, but still weird.

The Mi-8 has a nice variety in the base game. I'd love to see something similar for the Hind.

+1 Recently did some logistics flights from a farp on the rotorheads server. Moved back and forth from the farp to drop off zone. After a while the farp was out of the shade of the clouds as they kept moving on. Such things are so nice, keep up the great work on the weather system!

Hab es nicht ausprobiert, aber man kann angeblich die Kopfhörer von der G2 abschrauben. Aber Vorsicht, die Schrauben/Gewinde sind angeblich auch recht empfindlich. Aber vielleicht würde das helfen.
