  1. Yep, nothing else. Use this in conjunction with your Mk1 Eyeball.
  2. OMG !! I litterally fell of my chair laughing ! :megalol:
  3. Almighty SRS is so hyyyyyypeed ! :thumbup:
  4. Fair enough, that leaves still plenty of room for targets management. No one does fox at 26nm onboard the M2KC so no worries by my side. :pilotfly:
  5. Some more informations here I believe.
  6. Hello folks, I'm curious about something I tried out with my leader in order to keep a good battle spread formation. I don't think it's a bug, it rather might be a good feature in a two ships package for other pilots instead, so here's the thing. Most of the time people are using TACAN either to find their homeplate or an alternate, or either to find a tanker by tuning themselves on the appropriate channel to get a range and a direction. Well, it seems that the TACAN allows you to give you a range between you and your leader if you have 63 channels spacing between each other, however it won't give you any direction but the range. Just to make sure, is that a normal behaviour ? Feel free to try it out : * Leader on 02Y - A/A * Wingman on 65Y - A/A I tested this on Blue Flag. I may not remember the exact tuning as it was done on the fly, but it should be accurate. I was quite surprised having this feature as it can give you a good hint whether you're too far, too slow, too fast of your leader in almost BVR offensive and defensive formations such as battle spreads for instance. :smartass:
  7. Simple Radio Standalone for the win.
  8. My FPS drops from 60 to 3 for no reason.
  9. Open Beta hasn't been updated yet (next week). Changes were applied on the Open Alpha 2.0.3 only.
  10. That's mah boy !
  11. Yes you can.
  12. 29/07/2016 - Mod added to ED's User Files Library.
  13. Very funny to watch, and really interesting, what a cool guy ! Thank you ! :thumbup:
  14. Indeed, I was quite positively surprised today when I heard multiple flight packages stating their intentions on the ATC frequency. :thumbup:
  15. It worths what it worths (well that's BMS)... but there are other sources regarding those N=80% RPM on the brakes runup procedure. That's how I've been taught so far. Unless being a real-word military pilot, it's pretty hard to find the real deal from the "idea" we get about the thing. [ame] [/ame] EDIT: Flight manual states buster then burners at brakes release. However, the brakes don't restrain the aircraft at N=100% RPM.
  16. Gotta get back to study then. :cry:
  17. As far as I know, real procedure involves usage of N=80% RPM on the brakes, not more, followed by an AB takeoff (by the way go arounds are made without AB). The plane usually holds itself at N=80% RPM but in some cases it starts to move a little bit for some reasons.
  18. I confirm aswell this issue, no jamming involved as far as I witnessed.
  19. Fair enough. :smilewink:
  20. That's the VTB export option. I guess it's usefull when you have other devices plugged in such as free physical MFDs. Correct me if I'm wrong people.
  21. I'm okay with no plane display trought F10. It is still possible to navigate without, using charts/beacons/VOR/VFR (or CAM V). Every aircraft has an autopilot or trim capabilities, even the UH1H has an autopilot misc option to replace the copilot. There's no need to make a full flight plan like in reality, with SID/STAR or whatever kind of stuff that requires a ton of WPs. The Bullseye offers a good reference reguarding the conflict itself, but it's still possible to add a L/L WP over the shared AO. I don't get it when people say "it's not possible without F10 as we are in a 2D environment with bunch of displays, we do not feel Gs for instance". Well, you do have avionics with bunch of needles wich is enough to navigate. Ingame charts are aswell handy (trought Shift + k) as those display main terrain data such as rivers, powerlines, roads, that's all you need to know when you're doing VFR. Here's how I proceed for every sorties, first I'm gathering informations with BLUFOR about the active AO and the current CAP/CAS aircraft situation, I take a look at the tactical situation via BS cloud, I regroup my wingmen, I brief them quickly about the departure airfield, the runway in use, our flight level for transit, our task and the destination, potential frequencies usage, formations usage, callsign and wingmen assignation within the flight package... I then enter 1 to 3 WP depending on the situation to get good IFR references, for instance one straight on the AO, one as our homeplate and one as an alternate airfield. That's how we proceed. It doesn't take much time to setup, for sure less than 10 minutes from A to Z. Finally GCI are aswell able to give vectors, either towards homeplate, tankers, or as a snap towards a specific group to form up with. Some people should have already heard me on the net asking for vectors to our lovely GCI. As now with SR there no more stepping on each other, that gives way more free room to the GCI for talk-on.
  22. Holy molly... YEEEEEEES !! :pilotfly:
