Yeah I've seen this, but damn, that's insane! Never thought about it tbh!

I'm one of those guys that enjoy the digital and modern stuff. I understand those people wanting an Alpha model, but I'm hoping for the most advanced one! At least we are getting the Viper with GE engine. That's great news to me.

This was confirmed many weeks ago... not sure why you all are excited. It will take years. Ops... Didn't see kontiuka's comment.

This.

mvsgas, Do you have more pubs/docs on the -129 to share? Thanks, downloading those now.

GE Engine? hell yes!

Funny because I was talking to a developer a few days ago before the Hornet was released and I told him ED and BST would receive A LOT of feedback, and apparently I was right. Not sure if this is old news already but I have confirmed with a USMC F/A-18C pilot, the speed brake is supposed to come out incrementally. So that's correct in the sim. But then again, look what Amy said, these jets receive a lot of little upgrades throughout the years.

I believe it's a Maverick problem too, especially the FM.

Making a video on how to make skins is quite complex, it would be huge if you wanted to cover the main principles and tips. But as a very young skin maker, the biggest tips I can give are; Learn how to use Photoshop tools and its shortcuts. Learning the shortcuts is essential, makes your workflow much better. And understand your template. Everything else is just experience. You won't get anywhere without trying. Getting help to get started is important, but you gotta be interested in trying it out and learning. Open Photoshop (or whatever you use) and try to paint a skin. It's FUN!

Lovely! Looking great!

I just wanted to clarify some things; The AGM-65s are not supposed to have a self-destruction mode. Once the missile runs out of battery, there isn't enough voltage to push the current and ignite the warhead. Although 100/105 seconds TOF (time of flight) is correct, the batteries can last up to 150 seconds, because the battery is supposed to cover 1.5x of the MAX range. So in real life, the missile is never going to self-explode or fall out of the sky because the battery ran out (unless there is a failure), the battery is supposed to cover its max range and a bit more. That's not really the case in DCS though.

Nice job Skate! No chrome bug this time? :D

Yes, I couldn't remember how many seconds it would last, but I just check with my buddies from 476th vFG. The other models have a 100 seconds battery. The Echo should be the same.

You don't need lamps and warning lights telling you the AB is on. Just look at the nozzle, they will always open. If not, you're screwed ;)

I wasn't directly quoting you :D

Keep in mind that the AGM-65 is powered by a battery, which will run out after a specific time. So it doesn't matter how much energy you have, it will explode once the battery is done.

Take I look at my another post in the other thread about sound at Mach 1. https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3506247&postcount=5

What do you mean by zones? GE engines don't have stages. :)

First of all, are you using DCS OpenBeta?

Nice post!

One detail, GE engines use spray bars while PW engines use stages and manifold rings. Between MIN AB and MAX AB, the PW engines (the ones on the F-15C/E) will vary the AB fuel flow by changing how many rings are introducing fuel into the combustion chamber. When you go full thrust in the F-15, depending on model (I can't remember how many stages the -220 and -229 have), it goes really fast. You can really feel the kick between the stages. This is not very pronounced on the -229 though (it has fewer stages too IIRC - Could be wrong). GE engines don't use stages however, they have fully variable injectors. Regardless if it's MIN or MAX, all spray bars are introducing fuel into the combustion chamber. It's much smoother. I hope that helps, just my 2 cents.

Don't update the DCS guys, it's not out yet, the people downloading the update (forcing the update) are actually downloading DCS 2.5.1.

You need to update FIRST before downloading the module...

Rudel is awesome, I'm always watching his live streams when I can, he's always answering my questions too. I always have a good time watching him, very much looking forward to seeing him working on the Corsair!

Yup. That's right!
