It was funny as hell, damn it wags always with the teasing

Matts comment in the L-39 intro " Hey whats that F-5 doing there..." I died.

I didn't see any measurements but I may have missed it. I don't see the sheets being an issue for something like the kitty hawk but for those who have a-10's would a seam still show up? Maybe Ill pick it up for 85 and try it out.

So does cast AR and the surface actually work in DCS or would it be able to be implemented in say a sim pit by covering a canopy with the material? http://castar.com/

What program are you using to design the panels?

Baaazinga

Oh what I wouldn't give for a very shiny, expensive CNC machine............I think I have a solution now for the quadrant. Big question though is HALL or POT. Not sure the advantages and disadvantages of the two, uncharted territory for my brain.

Exquisite, can't wait to see further progress from this and future projects.

For me the links are not working. Using chrome so that may be why but if not can you post a link else where?

Mod doesn't show up when I click the link, mind posting a drop box link here?

Ok, so I think I have the just of how to do it. Thanks for the help guys. Next problem....how to put tension or resistance on the pivot point hmmm ideas anyone?

Just to put some 2 cents in here. if you re-watch the videos posted by Yo-Yo on the launchers on small pick ups, I dont know about you but If I were to launch a rocket, motar or whatever it maybe I would launch it from the longitudinal axis rather than the horizontal. Clearly you can see from the jeeps firing rockets theres barely any movement from the jeep which is lighter than the pickups. Why? Because its fired from the longitudinal axis of the jeep offering more stability than firing them from the side if the pick-up. WHHHIIICCHHH now brings me to the mustang. Now I don't fly the mustang, nor will I, but thinking with our physics cap on here for a minute. If we were to fire a rocket with x thrust which is traveling in the same longitudinal direction at say 500 km/H ( yeah sorry Canadian problems) then I can think of no way that this would have the seen "recoil" effect upon the aircraft. Now I'm not an engineer, nor a pilot from the 40's but I can see this is getting a bit out of hand here guys. Rather than bash Yo-Yo and ED for their supposed silly FM why don't we work as a team and as a community to help improve and assist each other with this dilema? Sorry for the banter but I don't want to see people angry at each other for a simple 127mm HVAR.

Well I understand that but how in the application of a throttle unit would it be mounted?

OK, I've heard HALL sensors are better for axis like throttles because they're small and accurate, so how exactly do I make that work? Thanks for the reply by the way.

F6F Hellcat and SU-24

So being not at all familiar with electronics and on the verge of getting into some serious electronic work. Does anyone know or is willing to show how to make a hall effect sensor or potentiometer work or how to connect it. Essentially I was going to use the hall's for a throttle quadrant and potentiometer for a custom rudder and brake set up ( aircraft specific). Hopefully you guys have the time to help me out on this one.

Anybody else hoping that the smoke trails left by the P-51 in the last bit of the clip while its burning flaming wreckage is plumetting towards the earth isn't what will be finalized upon release? Other than that it looks absolutely stunning and I cant wait to see more as everyone else does!

Basically it was a stable flight platform that could handle the stress of jet propulsion engine for test purposes. While the airforce had jets at that point, they did not have anything capable of carrying that equipment to do actually in flight testing. So it was basically a donkey in the sense that it carried those propulsion systems for actual "in-flight" testing purposes. Same way that the B-29 was used to carry larger manned vehicles under the belly being tested like the X-1.

Hey Jan, Clear your inbox FYI

So Ells when are we expecting the Nimrod to come out lol. Hope you guys have fun today. Might use the wife's wanting to visit London to sneak in next show and see all of the team there at Duxford.

VEAO's spit will be a clipped XIV, so that one could probably roll with the Dora so guys focused on performance will have options and those focused on looks will also.

Yeah thats the supercharger changing into second speed, it should also be heard audibly if you're climbing at a fixed throttle or ATA setting during that time. I find it more noticeable audibly with Diveplane's sound mod, helps when you're in the thick of it and don't want to glance down at you're gauges for reference. One of those nifty things you learn after flying a bird for a while lol.

So dicking around at work and looking into the rabbits hole and find mr.pman slipped this into the what if threads along with a P-38. So F4U-4 with 20mm seems to be veaos release in the future.

From what I concluded from the pilots manual in my belonging, it was a set altitude determined by a solenoid, I could be wrong with the translations but I myself went and tried different baro and air prssure settings to the best of my knowledge in the M.E. but found my results to be the same all varying between 2800 and 3100m so maybe it is or maybe it isnt, alls I know is its autoimatic and I dont have to worry hans' head off about changing it lol

Climbing through 2800m and 3100m I can definitely see an ATA and RPM shift in the Dora I don't know if you missed that.
