Dirty Rotten Flieger

In case this happens to someone else. Check you have "mirror view" bound instead of " toggle mirror" . They are not he same thing.

My mirror is just black and if I press the key to toggle mirrors it will work for one frame and that frame will be a snap shot that stays rendered in the mirror. I assumed everyone was seeing this same bug but I watched a YouTuber and his mirror worked fine. Is it working for you guys ? Anyone know how to fix this problem?

Thanks for the reminder. I did remember to do that. First thing I do with all new nodules. It is working again. I suspect I was just forgetting to synchronise the HSI with the NAV system but can't be sure if I was doing some thing wrong or the stick was playing up or the software was the problem. It's working now so I'l assume I was messing up the procedure.

I tested the TAS indicator on English,Imperial and after take off It was 650 ish knots for Mach 1 at tree level. Tested the English, Metric and it was over Mach 1.2 at 650 knots. Same mission and airfield. Identical conditions. English metric is bugged. I really hope they give us option to fly with English cockpit and Russian metric units. This is how the MiG21bis works and I have thousands of hours in it.

Thanks Ill try that. It has been working if I gently hold the stick sensor but today it just will not work no matter what I do. Even unplugged the Sidewinder and unbound it... BIT fails and fails.

The English, Metric TAS indicator is confusing . The big needle is Mach and the little needle is Knots? or the other way around? I just want Mach and KPH like the Russian cockpit with out Knots. I can't do that?

I just watched Matt Wagner's YouTube cold start tutorial and he just skips the control BIT somehow. Once he has the Nav systems aligned and engines started he turns on the AFCS switch and the damper light on the left comes on and the Damper off warning light goes out. How did he do that? I would like to skip the BIT rather than turn off my FFB stick and turn it on back on again after the BIT.

Thank you Zero_ crash, I've been looking at that little spoiler for ten years and your explanation is very much appreciated. I love this little jet and looking forward to gunning down some F4 Phantoms

here is another view of it. I used to wonder if it was some kind of vortex generator. It must be there for a reason. Maybe it's just a stop for doing maintenance. If you disconnect the actuator and lift the aileron it will rest against the little bracket at 95 degree or so.

Anybody know what the tiny "wing fence like" thing that runs along in front of the aileron is. Not the actual wing fence but the little bracket thing behind it running 90 degrees adjacent. I've been looking at this thing for years and wondering why they put it there.

Thanks guys. That looks like it. I thought I went through all the radar bindings and couldn't find it. Maybe it's not in "radar"

Thank you Snappy. I still can't get it to work though. The TL mode has no binding and if I use the radar mode selector is gets skipped. It really looks like it was removed with the patch. Does any body have radar ACM mode working since the patch?

I fired up the F1 after a few weeks break and had to rebind the keys, but I can't remember how I had the radar bound. I had it set up so I could turn on the IR missiles and then switch the radar in to a vertical scan mode. Does the radar still have this mode? I don't recall what it was called in the F1 and I can't figure out how to get it working again.

I'm waiting for the gyro to align before I turn on the HUD but sometimes the Gyro doesn't quite align. I thought we could just turn if off and on again to realign but I am mistaken.

I only fly ECW. Keep practising on there and you will get better. You can climb away from the older planes that have no after burner. I use the F-1 as a strike fighter with the parachute bombs which are great for one pass haul ass. If you get intercepted turn into them and a single radar 530 under centre gives you a head on shot and just blow through and run for home. Avoiding long dogfights with nimble MiG21 can still be a lot of fun. Even the MiG struggles to catch you flat out on the deck.
