IL-2: Cliffs of Dover might be your best bet. War Thunder is free to play, so you might check to see if the "realistic" action is for you. Who cares... do what is more fun!

I don't understand why this is always ignored.

Does the bis even have blown flaps?

Great examples. One thing worth noting is that the Hornet produces significant vortex lift at the root as a result of the leading edge extensions, although I don't know if they even produce considerable results when scaled down as in that model. Regardless, with 43% of wing area remaining, having reasonable control is completely believable.

If you inspected landing gear of DCS MiGs, I think you would feel differently! :D

Response is still valid. Amazing how much space is left on those consoles.

That's what I like to hear. :)

If it is very clear about it being one or the other, I will tentatively agree

I like that you guys are doing serious tests, just keep in mind that you too are making an assumption when you say that these charts do not require the use of afterburner. If they don't say, I don't think you can speak so surely.

...okay?

Looks great!

Great screenshots.

Looking forward to your public F-100 release tomorrow, then!

Can't say it enough... killer video, perhaps the best I've seen in DCS. Can't wait to strap in!

Yeah. Teams more experienced than VEAO hesitate to take on Airbus flight control augmentation. That's a long term project.

Who is this calm and collected narrator and what has he done with our usual host?? Great video Ralfi.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Airbus has essentially held parity with Boeing for safety in the last decade. Still wouldn't want to fly Airbus if I could choose. Not my kind of design philosophy.

If Airbus would link the sidesticks up instead of letting them move independently, I would be a lot less of an Airbus hater. :D

I've seen this, but only across multiplayer. Use the default arguments for the lights and try again. There is some scripting that needs to be done in the aircraft LUA as well. I'm sure you have a template to reference for that, if not let me know.

I'll just say this... the statement that airlines do not hire introverts is completely outrageous and false, at least in the US. Here, they hire based on the quality of your application, and if you perform satisfactorily in an interview and on technical/HR tests, they could care less whether you stay at home between trips or party in Ibiza. I have more introverted airline pilot friends than I can count on two hands. I even know a handful of military pilots who are sworn introverts. On the other hand, nobody hires people who party too hard and turn in an application with a couple alcohol violations.

As a (young) professional pilot and a social introvert, I take issue with this statement. It shows your fundamental misunderstanding of what an introverted (particularly INTJ) personality type means. This does not mean socially abnormal or awkward, which is another story. An introverted person is someone who desires time alone/in reflection to "recharge," as opposed to an extravert (which is apparently the right spelling,) who needs to be around others for that purpose. I love working around other people, and I love the pace and intensity of the cockpit, but when I'm done working I want to go home and relax by myself. An introverted person can be as equally skilled in the task of ADM as an extraverted person, and can make decisions just as well. (It's the "Thinking vs. Feeling" type discriminator that best describes a person's standard method of making decisions.) Similarly, an introverted person who has average social skills communicates just as well as someone who is extraverted... it's essentially unrelated. An introverted person is not averse to taking charge of a situation. I enjoy that responsibility and opportunities to speak up and perform, for example. So I repeat... your statement is misguided and mildly offensive. ;) Here's some study material that might give you some insight into the people you work with on the flight deck: http://www.personalitypage.com/html/info.html. I'm not sure which seat you sit in (or if you do,) but if you're the pilot in command I expect you would have a less shallow interpretation of the human mind if you want to maximize that resource. Zak, there is no job in aviation that is off-limits to introverts, but every job in aviation and in most other fields is going to be a tough time for someone who is socially uncomfortable. YOU have to consider which one you are, and whether or not that means you will be comfortable in a wide variety of settings. You need to be honest with yourself, but it sounds to me like being physically sick around other people is social anxiety, not introversion. It's a type-A world out there in aviation, I can't pretend it's not. Crescendo - can't rep. :)

Since no one has directly said it yet... an E6B or equivalent (online or whatever) will be easier than a chart, since these require multiple inputs and would be in graph/chart format (rather than table) in most cases.

Nope, sorry.

As a pilot, I love warbirds. But I'm sick of seeing them in combat flight simulation... they're tired. There's already IL-2, a new IL-2 title about to come out that looks incredible, or even War Thunder for the airquake crowd! But modern combat simulation is just... DCS and that beautiful old dinosaur, Falcon. I hate to say it... but I'm not buying another prop from ED. (Unless it's a P-47. :D) I know we're supposed to support flight simulation, but why should it be carte blanche if we don't like the direction they're taking? As the customer, your wallet is your only true input... ED will ignore everything we post here unless they already agree.
