It prevents the nosewheel from swiveling on your take off run (when horizontal)

I never ever touched that too, just the nose wheel lock once lined up on runway (big grey handle)

my brakes are the spacebar key, which I don't use for take-off

Is this the right way to take-off? BTW this is with afterburner Note: You can hear my voice in the background whinging about my blown tires on takeoff lol... I was the number 2 in the flight and was on left side of leader... The perspective seen in the video is from the view of the flight leader NaCH

can you guys please have the helmet sun visor for the pilot working in multiplayer environment... eg: when I put my pilot's helmet sun visor down in multiplayer other pilots see it lowered, same for viewing other pilots... I see their visors lowered very annoying to not see my friends check out my cool helmet sun visor when lined up on the runway or see theirs.

what parking brake???

she dances on those main gear as I try to get her up in the air... Its like she is trying to fall apart on purpose. I had some better luck after some practice but still the main gear tires are blowing up on me

DCS: Miramar DLC anyone? I loved flying around Miramar in Topgun Fire at Will for the PC

so F-4 + F-14 + F-5 = Iran air force... All we need now is a F-4

i'll try to post a video

I don't think so, I have a clean aircraft with only 100% fuel... No payload at all total weight is 8621 KG trying takeoff from mineral vody since it has longest runway in map and my Mig's tire goes flat at 358 km/hr

I seem to not be able to get the bird in the air without using the afterburner... In the training mission that came with MIG-21BIS I run out of runway length when taking off at full military power at 5 degrees nose up on KPP and on instant action mission, I have my tires blow up on me when taking off without AB on and just using full military power. Strange behavior on take-off

awesome, thanks... Could you do one for scramble as well for fast start up?

They make it look so simple to field assemble a P-47 don't they?

please nominate me

Ever wonder how a P-47 was born?

Because my USB converted Suncom Talon ain't cutting it for DCS P-51D and my Logitech extreme 3D pro is a stop gap measure until I get something better months from now.

anyone having issues with controls, using the axis tuning settings found here by EvilBivol-1 helped me tame the wild Mustang... No more wing over stalls or pulling too many Gs erratically. I set my stick and pedals to these settings he was using... Also, I had a logitech Extreme 3D Pro that had rock solid raw axis values when centered (no spiking on POTS) but I also had another of the same stick and it was spiking real horribly. Anyways, switching sticks from my Suncom Talon to the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro helped so damn much... I think because of the additional tension on the stick on the 3D pro... It keeps me from pulling too hard. http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3678090/4

not with FUSBA, it is done with latest version of FUSBA firmware as a workaround solution, but this turns dual throttle into single throttle...

Just curious what settings you guys use in DCS as far as curvature, etc? I have no stick extension on my suncom and i'm looking for something realistic in DCS. I also seem to have an issue with the Left throttle, I think the POT might need replacing... I had replaced it with the POTs from the FUSBA USB conversion kit from realsimulator.com i'll have to check the wiring and see if its not something as simple as a loose wire. It may be that the POT needs to be replaced after all... But right now I just have the left throttle input mirroring the right throttle input so I converted the dual throttle to a single throttle basically. Anyways, I could use some help with setting up the Talon stick to be realistic in the game... Curves / whatever.

I'll have to give that a try, I just generally suck at using the radar, period... Trying to learn tho, I think I don't give the F-15 any justice for its capabilities...

Care to share any ideas how to do the radar work correctly? I find that I lose targets on radar as they get closer to my F-15... For example the instant action mission, I hit the burners and climb to 30k ft and try to get a TWS shot off at the two MIG-23's with the AIM-120B's sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I find that they often disappear from my radar often as they get below 20 miles distance from me... Also another thing that bugs me is when I try to target them both I get a STT lock on one of them because they are so close I can't bug the other until they get close to my F-15 Any advice? I don't want MIG-23's spanking me with IR missiles much less F-5E's... If I get past that, the MIG-29's and 27's always give me a spanking because they spawn too damn close to me.

Your pitch was too high and you struck your back end on the runway I think... Thats my guess

Here is the story behind those pictures from Bio's website... Thought maybe ppl would like to read about the training encounter. http://www.topgunbio.com/radarsearch/
