  1. It would be cool if we had Anti Skid and Brake Energy like in NATOPS Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Trim is useful to take out the pressure and more hands off If you are stable without it you are better than me I trim to get the attitude right but stability and predictability is key Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Like all things AAR is about patience small movements and being stable A British exchange guy once told me AAR is more about a formation position and if you look and focus on the basket you will miss Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. I’ll try it out after work The Hornet feels different with 32GB of RAM and High Settings I like it if I could get Track IR to work I’ll be happy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. I know it’s a pipe dream but if you can come out with an Early Super Hornet Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. I used to tell my students two things 1) You control the plane not the other way around 2) Small but positive inputs Happy Landings Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. Trim is your friend You are trimming for an Airspeed or AOA in the Hornet If you trim right you have to be careful of your throttle inputs because your e bracket and FPM will be together and respond together without touching the stick Small but positive Large inputs will destabilize you Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Stupid question but DCS is not loading my profile but the Default Any techniques Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. My friend died cause he turned too steeply in a T-37 In heavy airplanes like the KC-10 if your on speed and you go to 45 or 60 you will stall If you go above 30 in the traffic pattern you become your own test pilot Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Technically Pipok’s correct FPM=Flight Path Marker In DCS Hornet is called VV velocity vector it’s the same thing tells the pilot where your plane is heading too Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Another trick from Chuck’s Guide, Forums, and the Supercarrier Manual that works is listen to BRC and subtract 10 on your course select that is the runway direction Also put ALT it’s a switch but every little bit helps At landing Weight shoot for 140 or Orange Donut Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. I like the Viper Landing her consistently safe is a challenge For Christmas I’m looking at Rudder Pedals Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Looking to land at Ramat David, Khasab, and any 8000 ft strip Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Looking to land at Ramat David, Khasab, or any 8000 ft strip safely Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. The visual skid marks tell the story On the viper hitting W the wheels lock and you can see a long skid mark On the Hornet you can see intermittent skid marks which to me is a Visual Indication that the Hornet’s Anti Skid is hard at work and the swerving is not as extreme Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Big thing is look outside to judge how much bank you need on the transition to final IRL if you go above 30 your risk for stalling is huge in the Hornet the 2nd Long line is 30 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. I like an Anti Skid that works when the switch is placed on it The wheels lock and swerve when you hit W for the brakes and you hold W down Does the real F-16 do that? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. Whatever you try you are gonna get skid marks The F/A-18 does that and you can do everything right and you still can’t win One way to not touch the brakes and stop is fly an AOA approach as best you can and on rollout extend the speed brakes and don’t touch the wheel brakes until the very end if required. The plane will stop by itself try Khasab if you have the Persian Gulf Map Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. Curious also LGBs are great but clouds and smoke could trash your shot The Hornet has JDAM and JSOW why doesn’t the Viper Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. I set a Wheel Brake Axis on my throttle hope I don’t go off roading Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. I figured out what my problem is after flying DCS It’s not the AOA approach or aero braking it is finding a key that doesn’t lock the brakes I don’t have rudder pedals so I use W for wheel brakes which I skid and swerve is there another key that is not so extreme Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. A nautical mile is 6076 ft Old pilot useless knowledge 1.5 nm is equal to approximately 9038 ft so any strip less than 10000 ft and you land on brick one you will be ok If you land in the first 3000 ft you will go off-roading in that configuration IRL T-38 students are taught to land the T-38 in the first 500 ft and how to aerobrake Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. So basically I have too much Fuel on landing Wheel brakes at the end Plane still wants to fly as low as 105 knots Fly the airplane until you come to a complete stop I’ll try Syria from Ramat David as an IAF F-16 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. Another cool article is how F-35 flight controls work from the Chief Lockheed Test Pilot Another Code One creation Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. Cool Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. I got Semper Viper printed out but don’t have the pdf version Can you post the link to it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  25. I didn’t know that so if you have a lot of fuel your viper is heavy on landing thought it was drag Learn something new everyday Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
