  1. I just get AACQ operation. I depress and release SCS <0.8 sec then SCS right I get AACQ
  2. With the now mature FA18 IFF interrogation setup is the "Sensor Select switch depress" function now redundant ?
  3. "USN hornets were allowed to G Limit Override to 9 Gs in Emergency / Wartime.." how would that be done ? The paddle just gives you 33% more than the current Nzw calculated limit, so the best it will give you is about 9.8G. Its I am about to hit the ground I need more G type thing. If you are saying the pilot would use the paddle then monitor the G to not exceed 9 I think is not workable. If you go for the paddle you would use whatever G you need. A 9G usable limit would need FCS Code modification. Interesting Presentation Figaro9 thanks for sharing.
  4. Is their a definitive reference that states the Swiss and Finn FA18C's are rated to an in service limit of 9g ?
  5. Its many moons ago since I Flew the bracket IRL (and then on a land based A model) however its new behavior is much better and a lot closer to how I remember it to be. The intent is to trim straight to On speed AOA then leave the trim alone. With smooth coordinated power and pitch input you can easily remain on speed with the VV on the required aimpoint. After Lot 20 entry date a software update was incorporated across the F18 fleet that actually displayed your exact "trimmed AOA" in the HUD. This to make it easier for the pilot to rapidly and precisly trim to On speed AOA. This occurred with LG down Flaps full and you trimming. So basically you just trimmed until you saw 8.3 and thats it you are exactly trimmed to On speed AOA.As soon as you stop trimming the digits disappear. We don't have this luxury in game but a little mod in the Flt controls indicator.LUA can achieve the exact same thing .. a direct trim ref to On Speed AOA. This is a little variation of Rackman's " F/A_18C controls Indicator scales for trimming". The mod simply puts a reference mark on the in game Flight controls display that indicates 8.3 degrees AOA. So just trim till the white + is abeam the reference marks and thats it trimmed precisely to on Speed.... no guesswork required. It passes the IC . Just needs to be copied in after every update.

  6. In the RAF I think the Aircraft form is known as the "700" in the RAAF its known as the EE500
  7. I think in the case of the F1CZ the V3 is concerned with the V3B Kukri AA missile. https://www.saairforce.co.za/the-airforce/weapons/66/v3b-kukri
  8. Rutowski climb and accelerations are your friend, level accels are inefficient.
  9. No issues getting Mach 2+ at 40,000' Caucus map clean F1CE level Accel started at M0.9 Are your Souris in Auto .... Souris Mach indicator should be following actual Mach
  10. Would appear that the increased Pitch trim effectiveness did NOT make it into the Beta patch Ver 2.9.2.49629 ? I
  11. Running the cursor over San Carlos water in mission Editor gives depths of around 7 feet as compared to real life of 70+ Feet.
  12. Good find Gulredrel. works a treat at Punta Arenas So went looking for more. Interestingly enough Ushaia in the Editor has 113.7 with 84 the correct TACAN pairing even shown. Though the Mission Editor symbol shows it as a VOR only station. Tuning TACAN to 84X confirms it as VOR only no DME .
  13. IRL you can get DME from a VORDME system using TACAN if you Tune the TACAN station to the Paired VORDME channel. Every RW VORDME station has this functionality. The issue I believe in DCS is that even those stations listed in game as VORDME are in fact only straight out VOR stations without the DME component.
  14. Nice work around Thanks. Hopefully a real fix to the depth will come in the future.
  15. Is there a way or Map version that represents 1982 ? For instance no RAF Mount Pleasant .
  16. This site has a great map of the area Zoom in for more accurate depths. All depths here in feet. https://fishing-app.gpsnauticalcharts.com/i-boating-fishing-web-app/fishing-marine-charts-navigation.html?title=Approaches+to+the+Falkland+Islands+boating+app#11.58/-51.5523/-59.0534 A sample screen grab. Another image zoomed in for more detail
  17. Trying to place some RN Ships to replicate their location in San Carlos water. Cannot as I get an error Message "Insufficient depth" Casual research lists the average depths 65'-100'
  18. I think the CDI bar is referencing TRUE with Needle Magnetic ?
  19. Course and heading selection knobs . Master caution reset And when the flight Director is done FD mode selectors
  20. MB339 Pilot training manual implies that you can trim the aircraft out in pitch to at least as low as 105Kias:
  21. Pitch trim is insufficient to trim the aircraft out flying final approach. MB339A Clean with 518Kg fuel Remaining, Gear Down flaps full. Even with Full nose up trim the aircraft cannot be trimmed to stick free at any IAS < 145 Knots ! Where even in the DCS manual Approach IAS should be in the order of 115Knots.
