What’s a good configuration air to air that is light for a viper I was thinking 6 Aim-120C and no bags worst case If I used all my missiles it would be a clean viper Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The JASDF F-2 is a block C F-16 with slightly bigger wings and a three piece canopy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How hard is it to put a parachute like the Northern F-16s like Norway Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So you have to remember nose wheel comes down pop the speed brakes or hold the speed brakes switch for full extension interesting Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ll make the Viper lighter see if that helps Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anti Skid On On AOA 182 with 3 Bags no rudder pedals The problem is stopping when heavy How much runway do I need and what is your technique of not locking up the brakes and swerving Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sounds like Anti Skid is off Cause I Aerobrake less than 15 nose up around 13 not to damage the airbrakes Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s the post landing rollout I land at AOA no problem is stopping that’s the problem The wheels lock up I swerve and my awesome landing becomes a smoking hole Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I figured out how to land on the boat with rough AOA with the Hornet Now to the Viper Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I try to land with three bags Worst Case I’ll change the key bind so I don’t lock up the wheels Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I could walk away if at Al Dhafra or Al Minhad with 12000 foot strips but shorter runways I end up hitting the ils bar or wall or fence still going any helpful words of wisdom is much appreciated Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When I last flew the 10 in 2008 we had no HUD A good rule of thumb is 4-5 deg nose up on the ADI and power is your weight and take 10% add that to your flight idle N1 and that was your N1 power setting If you trim for that you only care of the Right and Left on the ILS

Heavy former USAF guys like me used speed from our checklist to fly at 1.3Vs We know how heavy the KC10 is and from that using our handheld checklist we fly that speed that was published Hornet drivers use AOA Same concepts just looked at differently Not a foreign thing we are talking about the same thing just different things to look for Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh that makes sense I thought it was TCN channels like the KC10 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

X and Y are the TCN channels Usually for navigation they are X for example 96X OMAM Y is Air to Air TCN usually like 29Y/92Y Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Whatever you do in the Hornet don’t Flare It will feel uncomfortable but the Hornet does not believe in flaring Less than 5 deg nose down will prevent the gear peeking through the top of the wings Good Luck!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

From my flying experience the less stick and throttle inputs the more stable you’ll be You fly the plane not the other way around Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Practice practice practice My thing is don’t chase AOA it makes it worse Shoot for 140 if you can Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Latest Open Beta fixed the Pilot Visor Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah Chuck’s Guide has a lot of info but his guides are better than the manual Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Look at Chuck’s Guide He explains what the DCS Hornet can do Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My bad So it happened to someone else Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Stupid Question where is the line about the pilot visor Latest update to Open Beta took out the Pilot Visor Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The TPOD works when you point it to the right display The easiest way for me is waypoint designate but you have to put the target elevation in unless you like to Slew and Find Your Target RTFM and it will work Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ll try that Again Operator Error Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
