I too have just finished this mission and I may be going bald now. I couldn't see the tanker well enough to tank and had to proceed without a sip of gas. Had to constantly use the F10 map as I could not see the flight even with the gamma fully up. On the case 3, everything was smooth up until the ILS needles which never worked for me. The result was 3 bolters, and a hookup finally with 2000lbs of gas left flying solely by the carrier lights and meatball

Run 2 is absolutely driving me crazy. "You took too long to fire a Fox 3" - I am firing my Fox 3 a few seconds right after Paco calls it. "You took too long to turn back in and fire a Fox 1" - I am turning the second I notch and hear it go cold, I see the target and cannot get a PAL lock on it until I am within 10NM regardless of what I do Also, every T-turn my RIO drops lock in the back which is incredibly frustrating. I am thinking I may just skip this mission. And I am maintaining combat spread with Paco the entire time.

Awesome job! I am still getting unsat on parade and cruise and I've flown form IRL . Any tips on flying them on a 2d screen?

Any helicopter pilot for that matter. You always do a hover check before departing.

We have no idea currently in our Air Force what it will be. Lots of speculation all around, but until we hear from our government, we're flying blind.

It is always politics. If there's one thing I have learned in my time in it's that. Just the way the cookie crumbles.

Actual plane performance will have little impact in the Liberals decision on the replacement program. It all will essentially come down to cost, and creating Canadian jobs. It's what it's always been about in the CF. -V

Have been experiencing the same issue others were mentioning. Have inputted the correct channels, and have no problem using navigation or glide slope mode, but as soon as I switch to landing mode, both lights are no longer green. I have attempted using the mode at Krymsk and Maykop, and neither have worked for me. I have also set the course pointer on the RMI.

Kind of like it happens IRL. For some people, the onset of hypoxia can be euphoria, belligerence, or very mild symptoms that are very difficult to recognize!

I will give it my best shot. I'm in the Canadian Air Force, but I am still undergoing training. 1. "Chalice" is the C/S for one of the AWACS. In this ex situation, it is the Red Flag AWACS. 2. Everything else is simply exercise specific. All relatively advanced for me, but I believe they are referring to 13-19k feet being restricted to participants flying under IMC. 3. Bullseye is a predefined point that is used as a reference for radio calls indicating a position. So in the first example, from C/S Laurel, radar contact of heading 185 and 24nm from the bullseye or predetermined reference point. 4. Push means change frequency. So change your frequency to X 5. Not sure. I have never heard it before, could be exercise specific, or numerous other things. 6. Gate is brevity code to afterburner. The # indicating anywhere from minimum to maximum afterburner.

I can tell you the CT-155 Hawk (Canadian Forces BAE Hawk 115) is also a bit of a pain in the ass to trim. Whereas the Harvard 2 turboprop trainer (Texan II) is an absolute breeze.

Asked one of my friends from work who is more familiar with these trainers. He pointed out that a) this aircraft does not normally require much trim, and b) it is actually quite difficult to properly trim this out despite the fact that it requires little trimming; harder than say any other slower trainers. Also, any trimming in DCS world is not really realistic per se, unless you have a proper force feedback stick with electric trim.
