Good points. Convoys will sometimes drive of the road when off them are hit. Doubt it would save them from a maverick though. But they can definitely be shot down yes.

Ripple fire is when you lock up one maverick, switch to the other, lock that up too and then fire both at once right? I'm curious as to why you would not just fire the first one immediately when acquiring the lock. In my experience mavs are always in range when you get the lock. Am I missing something? I know this is slightly off-topic but the issue seems to be resolved.

Did some night flying yesterday. Most in F15 but some in F16. Definitely happens more in the F15. But I did have one such flash in the F16. It's really unnerving. Especially when it happens during SAM evasion.

According to NASA: "A helicopter’s rotor blades are spinning wings." https://www.nasa.gov/learning-resources/for-kids-and-students/what-is-a-helicopter-grades-k-4/ Let's face it. Helicopters are unnatural. They float around on those skinny wings shaking and rattling while planes glide beautifully through the skies.

Hey. Helis have wings. They are just really thin and floppy and mounted in a strange way.

I don't understand. Either your mini stick is analog, in which case you should be able to adjust it using axis tune. Or it is a digital switch in which case the .lua trick would be the way to go. Except it doesn't seem to work with this module so I guess it's a moot point in either case.

No. The OP is using a 4-way hat switch on his stick and is having issues with the cursor being too sensitive. It's not about axis setting. Your fix should work here.

It might be possible to adapt the trick used here: A few posts down you will see how they fixed the slew rate for the antenna elevation on the viper. I've done this and it works quite well. Try finding the line the describes the bind for the TDC slew and change the values there. It gets reset every update so use JSGME or take a back up so you can paste it back in after updates.

6.4 is what I use.

This may be true, although I'm not sure it is, for pvp. But I've scored hits from 60-70nm with AIM-120s on AI fighter planes. I did actually pop a player from 50nm. He was flying high and probably not expecting a missile from that range. That's far beyond the range of the F16 and even the hornet's radar range. And of course being able to detect them from 120nm gives you an undeniable tactical advantage.

Strike Commander is the reason I'm into flight sims today and why the Viper is my favourite aircraft. So I appreciate you listing it as one of your sims I recognized your picture.

Of course it will. But that doesn't mean that there isn't a stowed position which would provide mechanical support to stabilize and protect the gyro mechanisms from stress. But I don't know. You are probably correct. It makes total sense to protect the lens from debris as you say.

Probably to protect the gyros and such from the landing impact forces. Like in the Dos Gringos song I'm a pilot: "And I'll Over-G the targeting pod with a smile on my face!"

Do you know that the current refueling rate is realistic? What if the guys at Sochi have some badass fuel pumps that can do double the rate of the old equipment they are fielding at Senaki?

I honestly don't see the problem. null

But you can, like MaxSenna said in the second answer. You can set up an afterburner detent on your warthog throttle. Then you'll feel it when you push into AB.

Refueling takes so long in this plane. Could we have at least have faster refueling on the ground? 2x speed maybe?

I was being chased by an F16 today so I went flat out at sea level trying to escape. After a short while I got a "Fuel low" warning from betty. Strangely when I looked at the totalizer I had 17k lbs left. So I ignored the warning thinking that betty was screwing with me. But after a short while my left engine flamed out. Maybe she wasn't joking. But no. I still had 10k lbs left. However my left feed tank was empty. I did some testing and found that fuel consumption above 120k PPH(give or take) will eventually drain the feed tanks faster than the system can supply them. Is this how it is supposed to be? I guess there's nothing to do about it I've just not seen it on any other module before.

when I fly f.ex. the f16 the throttle range(mil power) is from zero to the AB detent. Anything above that is Afterburner. any precision flying is done in military. So I have the same range, for precision flying, in the f16 and the a-10(where I've put 100% throttle at the AB detent. It works fine for me in F16 and it works fine in the A-10. The push through zone is far less smooth than the rest of the travel, not a problem for AB since I usually just slam it to the wall when doing anything that requires AB, but if I was to do AAR in the a10 and the resting spot was around the AB-pushthrough spot that would make it very difficult. Same with formation flying of course. I'm willing to lose 28% of the range because it doesn't bother me at all and I'm too lazy to keep turning around the plastic thing.

You'll have the same (mil power)range as any other module with afterburner. More than enough for me at least. I do pretty well with AAR. I do the same for helicopters. I know it can be removed. I've filed mine down so it's a push-through instead of a lift-over.

There is one, sometimes, very useful mode you haven't mentioned. If you are in TWS and have two targets locked but you see that they will soon separate too far. If you long TDC depress on the non-starred target it will enter a sort of dual STT mode where it will skip back and forth between the two targets and keep lock even if they go far apart. You lose all other tracks though.

Just tune the throttle axis in DCS so that 100% throttle in the A10 is right at the AB point on the throttle. This way you have smooth throttle all the way with no fake AB push-through zone which makes no sense in the A10.

Nice one. Thanks!
