frumpy

Same here. I was tempted to buy it, but fortunately used my brain first. I don't care about the external model. I checked a video of the new ones cockpit and compared with the one installed, I was not impressed at all. It was hard for me to find any differences. The lettering is better at some spots, but I don't zoom in that much when flying. The only thing that bothers me on the old one is the flat, artificial looking ADI, did it improve any on the new version? Not saying that there has been many, many hours in it, but the cockpit being 5% more clear does not justify $10. In other parts of the world $10 will feed an entire family for days.

Hi there, I noticed when in idle on the ground, snapping the thrustlever forward takes less than a second to go to 100% RPM. In the manual "emergency procedures" for the J79 (found here: https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=kZnVU2VZ3jUQji5iaE8obXrXLyCPfRvVkHV0 ) there is a table on page 16 that says from idle-90% it takes a second, from 90-100% another 2 seconds. Also: there a a few different indications on the engines in the sim, than described in the manual: Idle EGT in the manual is at 400°-500°, while in the sim it's 350°. Idle nozzle position should be slightly closed, while in the sim it's full open. With afterburner, it should be more closed too (in the sim it's almost open, should be 5/8th to 7/8th). With afterburner, the EGT should stabilize after ~2s at 625+-10° too. I tested at 15°OAT and got 670°. This is taken from the J79 manual for the F-4C. Thanks for checking!

Hi there, when being on approach to runway 17 using the papi 2 white/2 red, at about 200 ft there are the towers of a mosque in the way. I don't want to hit anyone!

Hi there, I am about to buy a RHINO. The only thing I worry about is the used plastic on the gimbal and housing. Right now I am using a Virpil CM3 base with extension - it's all metal and very precise - but limb without force feedback. I am worried about introducing play with the plastic in the RHINO, especially when it comes to (hopefully) using it for many years. Looking at youtube videos and reviews, I always get a "first looks", which makes the whole thing a little more obscure. So you Rhino-people - how does the stick keep up with stiffness and precision over time? :)

Thanks for the insight! I have seen quite a few ADIs on pics and did some RW-flying, but never pulled more than 2g so I did not notice any deviation to the side.

There seems to be some misunderstanding. I meant the airplane symbol should always move it's center on the vertical line of the horizon drum. On the screenshot the airplane symbol is near to the M, to the right side. The manual that you are pointing at doesn't say anything about this. Felixx75: My "feel" is user feedback, not more. If you think it is correct that the plate is moving, but not the switch attached to it, this is your feel. Alternative facts!

Hi guys, I just noticed two things on the Navigation-video on youtube. At about 3:10 the oscillation of a part of the panel that holds a switch can be seen. I feel the oscillation is much too strong, maybe 1/3 of it would be enough for immersion. I assume the switch is screwed on the metal plate, so if the plate is vibrating, the switch should move in the same manner. Also the animation of the standby-ADI seems to be wrong. It's a drum, not a ball like the main ADI. That means the pitch should always move along the vertical axis of the scale, not next to it.

Hi, at some time when my fuel depleted, I got into a spin and landed the 339. On approach I noticed the AOA indicator is not working. After landing, it was working again. I am not sure if this is a wanted feature? Also after I ran out of fuel, the engine kept spinning at 20% (or at least thats what the gauge told me). I suppose this would at least change with airspeed? I attached the trk to this post. Thanks for checking! aoa_defect.trk

I've heard this argument before. As I am unable to fly myself, I care most about flightmodeling and immersion in a flightsim. Besides a few exceptions (109, 190...) I feel the DCS flight model is the best one can get for home PCs. I feel it's a shame this "military sim"-argument hinders people to fly civilian aircraft in this sim. We have VORs, NDBs, ILSs, wind and visibility challenges - all there at high fps and high system depth. I've not flown Worlds Apart due to having to shoot at some point. I don't even know how to operate weapons in most modules. There is just so much unreflected hatred and suffering out there, I don't need to simulate this in my sparetime.

I'd appreciate a completly civilian campaign with challenging flying in high winds, delivering and picking up stuff, SAR and landing on small platforms.

At 3:34 a Starfighter flies through the turbulences caused by another Starfighter. Amazing! There is also a quite weird Luftwaffe promotional video online... for German speakers only... die multiplizierte Flugprothese:

Not sure if this is a P-47 thing, but I am unable to takeoff at Saint-Aubin. See track. p-47 bumps.trk

Where can I get the mod?

Thanks, will comply. However, I did not find the MB339 in the list, did I miss it?

Oh thats a long thread to read. I'd like to build a MB339 homepit with Arduinos and DCS-BIOS. There is no profile existing and I am not good at programming. Is it possible export the data on the LCD (like groundspeed)? How can I continue from here?
