  1. I have just been trying this mission and I don't understand how you make it at 200 mph (the instrument is in mph, not knots) on the runway. As an example, in this video I kept gear up, flaps up, throttle idle and RPM low (lowest resistance with idle power), glided all I could at 190 mph which is the speed at the start of the mission and made it to the touchdown zone in the runway just dropping the gear and 20º flaps at 150 ft over the field. If you start lowering flaps and gear before, it is impossible to make it at idle. Now to land, try the following: At the start, RPM full forward, throttle just above the landing gear horn and lower the flaps 1 point, maintaining altitude to decelerate. At 150 mph, lower your gear and start descending looking for your correct glideslope. Maintain 150 mph adjusting the position of your nose. Maintain the glideslope with throttle. Of course, TRIM for that speed! As you get closer to the runway, continue lowering flaps and reducing speed and retrimming. You should be over the threshold at less than 120 mph. About the bouncing: You need the correct speed and vertical velocity when touching down. Reduce power when flaring, but not to idle, just slowly. At idle with full flaps, this plane falls down like a brick. Keep it flying just above the runway until you have a 3 point landing attitude. It is not easy, but a bit of power when touching down should help you.
  2. If you have enough energy, keep turning towards him, now in the vertical to deny him the turning room that he is creating. If you wait a bit and time it correctly, it can develop into vertical scissors. Another option is to reverse your turn when he is pulling and cannot see you, hoping he loses you.
  3. Is the IP address in your computer configured as DHCP? If so, check the allowance before renewal. If it is 1h, set it eg to 24h in your router (or whatever device you are using as DHCP server) or configure a static IP address in your DCS computer.
  4. Recommended read with lots of info about the Mirage IIIC (actually the CJ) in combat and the problems that the Israelis found when they started using it, along with their workarounds. An eye opener on the model! https://ospreypublishing.com/mirage-iii-vs-mig-21
  5. Also TMS Left Short.
  6. With this week's update it seems fixed to me, thank's!
  7. I remember some time ago someone also complaining that fuel would run out before landing. Maybe Belsimtek should consider adding 500 or 1,000 lb extra fuel, for some (foreign) people, it can take some time to understand the instructions.
  8. "Hold short" is the instruction to stop taxiing before entering an intersection or runway. "Holding point" is where you "hold", normally marked with horizontal or vertical signs. Sometimes you can use either one. E.g.: - GND: XXXX, taxi to holding point of runway 31 by A, hold short of T - XXXX: Will taxi to holding point 31 by A and will hold short of T - XXXX: XXXX holding short of T - GND: XXXX, continue to holding point 31 - XXXX: continue, XXXX - XXXX: XXXX at holding point runway 31, ready for departure. or - XXXX: XXXX holding short runway 31, ready for departure - GND: XXXX, monitor tower 120.8 - XXXX: tower 120.8 good day, XXXX When you find either a red vertical sign or a pattern of lines with the countinuous ones on your side, the hold is compulsory until athorized. When the discontinuous are on your side, you can cross:
  9. With the Viggen already in the open beta, I guess more work will be done in the Tomcat pretty soon. Is there any info on the current state of the F-14, or whether a release could be expected during this year or maybe 2018? Thank's a lot!
  10. After starting the plane a few times, I must say that even needing many more pumps now, it is much quicker to pressurize with the new animation. BTW, where is that electrical pump that everybody talks about?
  11. Good news, from the changelog, looks like it has been fixed: DCS 1.5.6.1648 Update 2017-02-03 DCS World ... Fixed bug that caused to AI wingmen not starting up in some missions ... https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3028651&postcount=44
  12. It happens for other Spits different to own. AI or human Sent from my Redmi Note 4 using Tapatalk
  13. I can confirm this one.
  14. Thank you Belsimtek for adding the GBU-12 training mission. :thumbup: I think someone forgot to push the updated manual, because it still does not show there. :music_whistling: Now just missing the Snakeyes and the CBUs.
  15. The relation between de altimeter readout and what the kollsman window displays is incorrect. E.g. for cold start mission in Beslan: * Beslan elevation: 1772 ft * QNH 771 mm Hg -> 1028 hPa Setting the altimeter for the airport elevation displays 1048 hPa in the kollsman window instead of 1028. See attached screenshot.
  16. Eg. for Beslan it says 1772 m elevation and 9914 m runway length, but both figures are actually in ft.
  17. If you don't pressurize the fuel system, the engine won't start. Just tried it both in 1.5.5 stable and 1.5.6 beta.
  18. Yeah, and now you need to pump 20 times instead of 10... great.

    What is BIP?

    LOL. As it was in capitals I though it would be an acronym. Thank's again. :)

    What is BIP?

    Thank's! Do you guys remember what exactly "BIP" stands for?
  21. It has both controls: differential brakes in the pedals for normal operation and a paddle brake in the stick for takeoff. BTW, they also added a Nose Gear Steering switch (LALT + Q). The switch flips in the left console, but I can't see any light indicating whether it is engaged or not.

    What is BIP?

    BIP appear in the "Aterrissage" checklist in the real world Mirage manual (see attachment). What is is and what is its complete name in frech? Merci!
  23. Back to the original topic, some airspeed indicators have a second scale for TAS. You calibrate by manually matching your pressure altitude with the outside air temperature using a knob in the instrument. Sent from my Redmi Note 4 using Tapatalk
  24. Come on, guys, stop the OT. If you want to talk about the AoA indexer, start a new thread.
  25. I haven't tried sidelisps in the DCS Spit, but what jcomm describes I have experienced in C152 and C172.
