Assuming it’s the same as the eagle, IRL criteria to invoke lofted steering are: STT track rotate the nose 20 degress above the normal steering command target must be within 20% of RMax1 TOF must be >10 seconds target’s aspect greater than 45deg ownship altitude <40kft target altitude <60kft

Whoops...didn’t mean to spill the beans :doh:

I see. This may have been posted but I don’t feel like reading 18 pages of this thread. Touched down at about 260kts

YoYo developed the Su-27 FM. I highly suggest revising your post and removing the insults. Yo-yo knows what he’s talking about and more about the flanker than anyone else here

Oh, my fault. What on earth does that have to do with the F-15? :huh:

This is OT but what XB-70 incident are you referring to? If you’re referring to the infamous photo op XB-70 incident, that aircraft broke apart.

This is kind of concerning. Did they require payment at the time of preorder? Or charge when it ships?

I wouldn’t expect much in the way of help from Oculus support from my experience with them for the same issue. You can check the HDMI connector pins for any obvious signs of damage. In my case it looked like the recessed +5V pin was bent. I had the black screen issues before Oculus were selling replacement cables and they refused to entertain the notion that the damaged pin was causing the problems. After almost a year of it not working I decided to try again back in March. Magically it started working again. No idea what the issue was.

An F-15K Slam Eagle performing a FCF without CFT’s (Or paint ;))

The other was a mid-air with an F-16 IIRC. Edit: Disregard, not sure what the other is.

No need to be sorry, I was wrong. The total number of E’s produced was 236.

For anyone curious the USAF procured 236 E’s, the first 134 of which had PW-220’s (about 50%). Source: http://www.joebaugher.com/usaf_fighters/f15_10.html

CFT’s generate an increased pitching moment at all angles of attack. The increased drag and weight results in decreased specific excess power compared to the non-cft aircraft. Thrust was increased on the E models for this reason. Still, the Strike Eagle’s turn performance is a few degrees lower than the light grey throughout the envelope.

Here’s why I’m praying for -229’s:megalol: Source [Level flight acceleration at 40,000 ft]

If Razbam is modeling the -229’s I’ll probably never fly anything else.

+1 Prowler, I think the silent majority holds no ill will towards Razbam. Some people just love to hate. That being said, can we take this thread back on topic with some F-15E hype? I’ve never been more excited for a module.

I remember your first post here. You should be proud of the amount of progress you’ve made since then. Certainly more than I have. It’s going to suck having one less voice in modhub. I hope everything’s alright with your health as well. Thanks for everything.

:D So excited

I don’t see how an unimplemented component of a specific flight model could be applicable to all FC3 aircraft.

Post 2.5 merge missile damage (or lack thereof) doesn’t seem exclusive to the F-15C, aircraft or missiles for that matter. It seems like all hit box detection is affected.

Here’s a whole DACT sortie from takeoff to landing

From the -1 limit pitch to 15 degrees to avoid dragging the tail. Approximately 13 degrees for normal aerobraking.

My thinking regarding lattice fins is the increased drag penalty lies directly in the most common area of the launch envelope. To have an advantage the missile needs to be launched from M1.2+ Otherwise it has to accelerate through the choked flow to high supersonic speeds negating the benefits.

Just wanted to add to this. Lattice fins are more maneuverable low subsonic and high supersonic speeds. Low subsonic drag is equivalent to traditional fins, high supersonic drag is lower than traditional fins. But at transonic speeds and low supersonic speeds, flow through the lattice is choked resulting in a drag force much higher than traditional fins.
