Nooch

It also depends on which resolution you're intending to play at. If you're going for the 4k experience then a gtx 1080 would probably be the minimum.

I don't understand how QFE would be any useful in VFR since the runway should be visible and as you mentionned, altitudes are given in MSL on airdrome and regional charts. When flying IRL, I have never used QFE and the tower never gave me any QFE setting. That said, I only have 11 hours of flight under my belt as PIC so I'm not pretending I'm the guru of aviation either... :)

I would much rather have the Tiger than the Ka-27.

Actually I now recall that I did encounter the same problem. The FE told me I was off altitude but it got quickly fixed by setting the altimeter setting to 2889 I think it was. The QFE for your departure airport should be displayed at the bottom of your briefing window along with the frequencies. Hope this helps.

It is weird indeed... I did the same mission about a week ago and nothing went wrong like that so I don't understand why you're having this problem.

Please report.

That's right, the FE is quite unpredictable in these missions. Sometimes he gives you warnings at the appropriate time and sometimes not.

That's what I suspected... Why make it simple and standardized after all...? :D

To succeed the mission you need to stay aligned with the flight plan on your TAD. With the crosswind, your nose will deviate and the FE will start yelling at you but feel free to just ignore him. As far as speed is concerned, it's totally normal if you fail when you go 20 kts above the requested speed. 20 kts is a lot in professional aviation standards. You won't even pass your CPL if you go 280 when the FE asks for 260. Try to stay within 10 kts of the target speed.

It's pretty simple. If you are under 10k feet you use QNH (or QFE in some rare cases). If you go above 10k feet you switch to QNE. Please correct me if I'm wrong but as far as I know, this is how it works.

That's exactly right. I've seen a video where they had refueled a F-18, Rafale, Typhoon and Harrier all in one flight.

Gorgeous pics! :thumbup:

It's nice to see a new addition to the AI lineup. It would also be great to see ED add the drogue adaptator to the KC-135 as they are currently used on a regular basis to refuel coalition fighters in the middle east.

The A-10C isn't necessarily more realistic than the others. It just has a different set of capabilities.

Weird... The sun isn't shining bright in my rift. I have shadows turned off, I don't know if it makes a difference.

My guess is that QFE is only used when performing IFR landings. Is this correct?

Generally speaking you really don't have to worry about it. The course information is already programmed in your CDU as it links waypoints together. 95% of the time, you don't have to touch the course set knob of your HSI. It's only there in case you decided you want to arrive at waypoint with a specific heading. The mission tells you to turn the course knob just so that you learn something about the HSI but it's not something you are required to do in practice.

The rockets running time is already pretty good. It's more a matter of giving enough punch but you can't give too much of it either because it could hurt the pilot. I've seen several successful ejections where the pilot ejected right before hitting the ground and while the plane was diving. The big problem is that it is actually pretty easy to forget you have an ejection seat. The ground is coming at you fast and you're suddenly dedicating 100% of your attention to pull out of the dive... Sometimes it's obvious you're not gonna make it and thus you pull the ejection lever. Other times it's a close call, a matter of meters, and you think you're gonna make it when in fact you won't. Anyway, whatever the cause of the incident may be, it's a very sad event. R.I.P to Captain Gabriele Orlandi and my condolences to his family and friends.

There is currently an issue with the Num5 key. It will always keep recentering the view no matter what, even if you bind it to something else. I reassigned Num5 to keypad 5 on the Warthog's CDU and in addition to pressing CDU keypad 5, the view gets recentered. I tried with the Ka-50, same problem. It looks like the issue isn't module specific. Also please note that I fly in VR. The problem might not be present in non VR mode.

The Su-25T has its own controls section with the same stuff in it. So I doubt it would have any effect on this specific plane.

Looks like you are right! I just searched for UH-60 IR jammer and I found some articles on it. It's called AN/ALQ-144.

I've been wondering what is this weird faceted cylindrical thing behind the main rotor... I remember talking to a UH-60 pilot at the 2015 Paris Air Show and he wouldn't tell me what it is. Either he knew it was classified stuff and that explains it or he just didn't know if it was classified or not and he didn't want to risk getting in trouble. It's been two years and I'd be happy to know if any of you knows about it.

Turning off HDR would be my best advice.

The modeling, texturing and attention to detail is very good on this module and this is why I decided to buy it even though it wasn't finished. The devs seem very capable and committed to making a quality product. They just need more time on their hands to complete it. Eventually, I'm sure nobody here will regret his purchase.

No kidding. I did have a look but nothing seems to indicate that these controls are effective. Whatever I set them to, it doesn't affect the other aircrafts.
