Every YAK52 (and superior CJ6:) I have flown exhibits the Longitudinal trim behavior Acro is talking about. This is an important thing to get right imo as it is very characteristic of the aircraft Yak pilots move their feet with speed to keep the aeroplane balanced. It has been reported (YoYo see Bug 0044614)

Lets see an image of a Yak52 with weapons on and airborne :) Having flown a YAK52 with just small little external fuel tanks on (mod) ... I can only imagine one with weapons would be a real dog

Plenty of images of YAK52's with armament .... but they are all on the ground. Yet to see one with the aircraft airborne .... it would be a bit of a dog with all that stuff hanging of it !

Done a few years ago by a great friend:

Da! thats why you must "think in Russian" ... privet Che Che

Da! thats why you must "think in Russian" ... privet

No to either just keep the Tgt inside the radar Gimbal limits ... i.e. on scope

HUD data goes via the ADC, Stby Alt doesnt.

Standby Altimeter

Duck !

Having Fun :)

Not Confusing for commissars only westerners :) This methodology was pretty standard for most Eastern Block aircraft of the time period both Russian and Chinese. Look at he Mig 15 in DCS same arrangement

There will always be differences between the HUD and standby Altimeter as they use separate sources. HUD displayed Altitude gets a little more "processing" before display.

Hmm The Blue Angels C models have civil ILS fitted :)

In the Jet for Lo Drag bombs the release cue appears on the ASL when with a 4.0G pull achieved in 1/2 second you will get a release at or before 45 Degrees Nose up. Currently in the Sim its not quite doing this.

Its coming ... not implemented yet both TWS and LTWS ... Latent Track while scan.

=4c=Nikola err not sure what the issue is I haven't quoted you at all I was referring to was Wibur81'scomment not yours :)

"'software logic only available for demo hornets' comment above?" Thats not what I said ! Early software loads in the FA18A/C didn't not incorporate pirouette logic. You could still perform a pirouetteish like maneuver but not as aggressively, repeatably and relatively care free as when pirouette logic was incorporated in later FCS software loads. ALL FA18A/C's got pirouette logic in later FCS software loads .... The NATOPS that I provided a quote from discuss the incorporation of pirouette logic.. This incorporation came as a by product of FA18E/F FCS software development that was then inherited by the A and C. Here is the section from the FA18C NATOPS:

Trying at Batumi,Sochi,Anapa,Novirysk. Regardless of wind it always defaults to a SW take off direction

How in ME can you force a specific take off direction or runway using a Takeoff from Rey waypoint ? I have tried wind and waypoints to no avail its seems if its hard coded.

Pirouette logic was incorporated in C model FCS software, and was inherited from E/F model development. Prior to its incorporation "Pirouetteish" type maneuvers could still be flown but nowhere near as aggressively as they can with the FCS logic. It was only after the logic was incorporated in the FCS software that Pirrouettes became part of Airshow repertoire .... because they could then be performed with relative ease and certainty and with vigor. The NATOPS tells it like it is

In ACLS modes Deck motion compensation commences 12.5 sec from touchdown. This is cued to the pilot by the 10 sec HUD cue

FA18C currently has Pirouette logic in the FCS system this was inherited from FA18E/F FCS development. Prior to the incorporation of Pirouette logic stock FA18 A-C could perform a similar manoeuver however it was no where near as dramatic as what can be done with Piroutte logic incorporated. That is why the stuff you see in the various Airshow routines is more dramatic than what you see in the DCS video. From the C model NATOPS: Finnish FA18C RIAT 2018 Full blown Pirouettes at 1:31 and 2:41 in From the Pit:

"can the seeker jump to another target before and/or during self track mode?" Theoretically no. The checks and balances in the self track process from a slaved lock include reasonably strict angular checks comparing both IR and Radar lines of sight.

IRL the CV ILS Loc and GS are earth reference stabilized.
