  1. I dont get a left roll in a clean jet, I am just showing when I get an uncommanded left roll and it's only with externals
  2. The syphon system on the right side for the right external tank is the culprit of the left roll for me at least. This only seems to happen from a cold start jet. But it ends up with an approx. 200 lb imbalance. Left is heavier, inducing a left roll. This is with the FUEL QTY select knob in EXT WING. I cannot get it to reproduce from a hot start jet.
  3. Can we put the pods and baskets on the wings in the meantime?
  4. Since you asked about the P38, the ailerons were partially hydraulically boosted and partially powered by the pilot. If there was a hydraulic failure the pilot could still fly the aircraft, albeit with a lot more force involved. Systems back then were a lot lower pressure than they are in today's aircraft. Back then the pressures were around 1100-1600 Psi vs today on most aircraft the systems are at 3000 Psi. But it was a triple redundant system on the P38, a normal system, a auxiliary system, and an emergency system. Normal used the engine driven hydraulic pumps, if they went dead you had a hand pump in the cockpit that you could manipulate a valve to then power the entire system with the hand pump, and in a really bad situation you switched to the emergency system that had a different reservoir and lines but was pressurized by the hand pump. The weird part about the system is the brakes are actually only pressurized with the hand pump so pilots had to constantly be pumping away on the hand pump while taxiing to have brake pressure.

    Awkward...... Love your work gospadin
  6. There is only one publicly available Mirage manual online that I can find, please excuse my total lack of knowledge here, and it puts that Mirage at 11.3 t or metric tons for the max landing weight. Thats 11,300 kg. I see no mention of another weight in the limitations section of the manual. Which weight are you using Azrayen? Your numbers must assume that the CL tank is empty and we are landing with only 950 kg of internal fuel with the 100 kg of the tank itself? I'm just trying to figure out what the number is you came up with for Max landing weight, and did you actually mean Normal Recovery Fuel and not Max landing weight? I apologize just trying to learn some limitations for the Mirage because the information is very sparse.
  7. I deserve this thustmaster HOTAS because it is more realistic than the real controls on an Embraer
  8. Does anyone know how the "effect" works for the TGP? Could someone make hot white or hot black textures so they appear much "brighter" in the TGP? Like a replacement texture specifically for a vehicles heat map
  9. Leave the hot mic up and it should work
  10. The cover was removed for refueling on the KC135 which has a different basket from the navys baskets...i thought the Iranian F14s now have fixed refueling probes after they were refit ..they no longer retract
  11. Ok cool thanks for the clarification Mojoe
  12. Right Mojoe...every virtual wing has a similar training program but no one uses a two seat trainer to conduct training. Its all conducted through a chase plane or external views, not saying thats bad but actually being in the pit with someone would make training a lot more valuable
  13. Adding a poll to the below post http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=152467 Mods could you merge the 2 if you find time please
  14. Good point Cripple. When a BT-13 and a T-6 become available we could add them as well!
  15. With the advent of an aircraft like the L-39, and its dual seat capability it seems like a good time to gauge any interest in a virtual squadron that simply trains airmen to a quality level that they are ready for entry into any of the fine virtual organizations that exist. I realize that the avionics are Russian and metric altimetry is only native to Russian aircraft but the concepts are all the same. Shooting a precision approach, Tacform, radial intercepts, overhead breaks, emergency decision making all are transferable skills. As other trainers become available with 2 seat capability i.e. The hawk, they could be added to the roster. The catch obviously is the financial commitment of the student buying the module of the aircraft needed. So that's why I am gauging the interest of learning in this manner versus just throwing students in an A-10 and chasing them around or any other single seat platform for that matter. Every virtual wing has its forms of training I just figured this way we could produce a pipeline of qualified airmen for these wings to choose from when they graduate out of the program. You want to fly A-10s? Go to the 476 or the 132nd. You want to fly F-15s? Check out the 104th etc etc for all aircraft in DCS. I just figured this would alleviate some time from these organizations in training students basic airmanship skills. Nothing is easy doing it on your own. So again just gauging interest, if any of you have any thoughts or ideas on a program such as this please let me know! The L-39 is a terrific little jet!
  16. Do you have mirrors off? Mirrors in 1.5 is a huge detriment...far more than shadows

  18. The only F-15 version that is FBW is the F-15SA for Royal Saudi F-15 modernization program. The F-15C and E are both called semi-fly by wire because the stick is not mechanically linked to the control surfaces in normal flight modes. It just sends signals to the AFCS which in turn moves the control surfaces. But in the case of AFCS failure the pilot retains mechanical control. Compared to todays fly by wire systems its hard to really put a semi in front of fly by wire, thats like saying the A-10C is semi fly by wire because of the SAS. But i know you knew that already Snoopy ;)
  19. Thanks for the heads up! Great book! I hope all these modellers books get redone in digital format. The modern hog guide would be a nice digital book as well!
  20. Thats what I figured just wanted to double check...thanks guys
  21. Is the price for the Hawk in the recently announced summer sale for the SFM model and then a further purchase would need to be made for the EFM when its released? I cant remember if that idea had been shelved or not.
