In the A/A gun mode with radar locked bandit it should be target closure rate off to the right and dynamic WEZ, no? Pretty standard for US aircraft HUD design.

Definitely something seems super odd with the pitch sensitivity using a Virpil mongoose CM2 base plus 200mm curved extension plus TM F-18 stick… Normally with a 200mm curved extension on any module the in DCS stick is less sensitive because it takes more displacement to move the stick but here, I’m constantly getting PIOs in pitch axis primarily… Not just talking about the takeoff pitching moment… I’m talking about throughout flying the SE. I don’t need curves on any of my planes, I specifically purchased this flight sim hardware to maintain linear controls so I’m not robbing Peter to pay Paul VIA curves. It does actually feel like a real plane I have flown T-34B but even that I felt was super sensitive stick controls with only a few mm of displacement… Like if you sneezed you could flip the plane inverted if your hand moved far enough.

Why doesn't he bite his teeth tho?

I mean this could induce physical seizures in people

name checks out hehe

Is this issue even reported yet?

The Helmet mounted sight with the Archer puts the Tomcat at an extreme disadvantage, NATO did exercises to test this with the German Air Force MiG-29s and they absolutely clobbered the opposition NATO forces when unleashed with the Schlem and Archer combo. That 45 degrees off boresight shot capability does make a difference in who can shoot first in a turning fight and it isn't like a Tomcat is difficult to see. The only way to really counter this would be to stay within the Rmin range of that Archer missile and keep the fight close and not allow the MiG driver to extend even a little bit less you get bit with an Archer.

Good to know, I really wasn't sure and did not want to make any false claims since I have never stepped foot onto a carrier flight deck and can only go off of anecdotal information I have heard over the years and also what I can find out using my google foo powers on the internets.

don't forget blue shirts with cocks and chains and as far as ejecting goes, inflatable life vest / life raft for pilots so you don't just simply disappear when landing in water after ejecting

DCS already has a "hear like in helmet" selection in the audio options why not have the Tomcat just sound like SMEs report when "hear like in helmet" is optionally selected by the end user? Problem solved and you still keep your artistic license. I accept checks and money orders btw

Maybe a bug with SRS implementation then?

Is your "driver" using the correct functions on the radio hat? There are 4... ICS 159 182 BOTH (didn't think it was working with SRS tho)

The GBU-12 doesn't look right, I think the ablative version should have green laser sensor head and fins. Based on photos I've seen around the innerwebs.

that is a good point

Found this schematic for the B model (DFCS equipped tho), it might explain why those stabs move like that on a cat shot.

@BIGNEWY is PBG (Pressure Breathing for G) on the oxygen panel simulated in the DCS F-16C? Apparently this should give the pilot more G-tolerance than if not selected?

You mean to tell me that "LEO the RIO" doesn't step outside the jet mid-flight and hook-up the towed target banner? Darn.

The white/grey looking ablative coated bombs?

Is it 45 degrees in DCS? I didn't have an in-game protractor to measure. Maybe someone could peek at it in the DCS model viewer and let us know?

What I really wish is that the deck crew moved with more military bearing... When you look at the deck crew IRL vs. in DCS you notice their movements do not look as sharp or have such a command presence. You guys who have been in the military know exactly what I'm talking about when I say looking sharp and smart. I can't tell if ED recorded the correct animations from doing motion capturing or somewhere during the editing process they changed the originally recorded animations so they look to be slower or what. To me as a layman, it does look similar but it certainly isn't the same and it doesn't exude your typical military bearing like performing the "manual of arms" for example... Which if you look at the deck crews IRL, they do use military bearing in their movements on the flight deck. I'd love if they looked like they moved more with a sense of purpose and they had more of a military bearing to them especially considering they are supposed to reflect that they are military personnel.

Are you guys planning to look into the wheel brakes holding the plane appropriately on engine powerup for a take-off ashore? Because right now before the patch this week they don't (and I assume the patch didn't change this because nothing F-14 related in the patch notes). I only ask because this may possibly be an extension of "ground behavior"

This would be the idea, but in English so a native speaker that can also speak fluent English... Which there is alot of.

I zoomed in to the figure a bit but you can see it shows the wheel and 70 degrees Oh, I also found this about the min radius turn

I was thinking English with Persian accent

He really wanted to see Montana... Glad he did in Jurassic Park, oh and he had a RV too!
