My sound settings need reevaluation!

I'm guessing those would come with the TARPS pod?

Eh, what use is a boat, if our planes don't fly right and our stick don't shoot straight?

Generated lift is equal to the lift coefficient (Cl) times the density of the air (r) times half of the square of the velocity (V) times the WING AREA (A). Now some come here with willingness to learn, others not so much. Chose whatever path you want, but cutting and quoting posts out of context is certainly a valid way to go, if that is the choice you've made. Also, did you fail to notice that "at airshow speeds that the OP mentions" disclaimer i put in that post? Or was it convenient to omit it? It's in your quote after all.

The Soviets thought many things. Not all of them were correct.

Those clicks when going over the AB detent could be useful indeed!

Yeah, but that would be at mach 1.something (3 or 4 if memory serves?) when due to the changes in airflow, the portion of the wings that generates lift will be moved further back. Google the equations for lift generation if you think i'm wrong. As for the high speed, look at the above answers. Yeah at supersonic speeds their effect may be measurable, but at airshow speeds that the OP mentions? In my opinion hardly any. Certainly not any that would improve your capability to generate noticeably more lift.

Count R-33's in there too

The contribution to the lift would be roughly proportional to the increase in lifting surface, which doesn't look like all that much to be honest.

I don't get it. Are you implying the glove vanes will generate enough lift to enable you to pull g's that you otherwise couldn't that slow? They also extended when wing sweep was (manually) put to bomb mode. Indeed.

I miss the smiling reactions.......alas, in their absence, here is championship cup!

No need for further info. It's in the aero data. With the wings back you can generate and sustain higher AoA. Nothing weird about it. And as @Airhuntersaid, you'll also generate higher drag, so you will decelerate faster, thus tighten your turn faster. Will you hang there indefinitely once you bleed yourself dry? Nope. But you can still do it if you set your mind and feet to it.

Awesome news, this one really baked my noodle!

Roger that

Is this front seat doable? I mean with Jester as a RIO? Can the radar be slaved to the TCS? I know the reverse is the default, as the TCS automatically slaves to the STT lock.

My pleasure! I still hadn't had a chance to test it under multiple scenarios. Not likely to get that chance this weekend either. So something may have creeped up without me noticing it yet.

Aha, i'll need to remove some of the custom liveries to make sure they all show up. Thanks! So 2 for A and 1 for B

Weird, my update just finished and i just started DCS for the first time in weeks. Loaded few instant actions so far (the qual missions) , but they all started with the FoV on default. Tried repair?

Yep, i think they are missing only in the mission creator. Or at least they did so for me 3 weeks ago. hadn't flown since, so i can't tell how things are after latest patch.

VF-33 is available to the A and VF-31 and 33 for the B? Or should they all be available to both A and B?

Kudos for the very good question!

Always a pleasure!

Has the radar reacquired the target and built a new track after losing the original one?

That's the old (pre-HB) Phoenix FM or something very similar to it. They were known to sprint at mach 5 as low as 15000ft or so. Very flat, very fast.

Worth a try!
