3rd Wing - Raiden

I did some more tests. 1b is fine, disregard! Regarding 2. Pitch seems Ok but not heading correction. It should be smooth and gentle, currently heading corrections are... brutal... Wait and see

Thanks Master. Regarding Point 1, what's already reported? The double click AP button or the AP behavior when roll angle is smaller than 10° ? A young padawan

Never used the F15C but Su-27/33 doesn't seams to do so. Yes it's like there is auto brakes when going slowly and throttle is set in the Idle position.

Yep that's what I'm talking about.

@BqconSarnie, I, am not confusing with fuel flow. The aircraft is like glued and the nose tends to go down a little. Like a wheel brake effect. @PiedDroit, Salut ;-) I'll try and do some more testing with various payloads.

Hello again, I have noticed some weird behavior with the Autopilot Attitude (default AP when hitting A key). All the following observations are based on Razbam Flight manual from p.45 to p.47, the real M-2000C RDM manual p.56-61 and ingame behavior observations. 1. AP ATT. should be engaged with only one click on the AP button. If the AP standby trigger is being pressed during activation, then AP ATT LED should be amber (yellowish). If not, AP ATT LED should be green. It should be the same for all AP modes. Amber (yellowish) LED only appears when AP Standby trigger is pressed. Currently its more of a two stages activation button, first standby, then engaged. Note: if roll angle is smaller than 10°, AP ATT should smoothly bring roll angle back to zero and follow the resulting heading. I am not sure this feature works as well. 2. When AP ATT is ON, TRIM hat becomes a pitch and heading modifier. Trimming up and down should modify your pitch angle and right and left should modify your course. I'm not entirely sure this works well. Could be my TARGET settings, need to check this out. 3. When releasing AP Standby trigger with a pith higher than 10°, the aircraft wriggles and the pitch drops a few degrees. I don't think this behavior is right. What I understand from the real aircraft manual is that AP will automatically disengaged if AoA exceeds 18°. Otherwise it should be able to maintain any pitch angle. Hope this will help make a even better M-2000C simulation.

I think it's not inverted as I can brake while taxiing (for wheel brake testing purposes) and during landing as well.

Hello, Thank you very much for this excellent work you've done on the Mirage. I am having a lot of fun with it. I didn't find any report about this so here it is : When taxiing, parking brake released and no wheel brake applied, the aircraft has a hard time moving, like it is glued on the ground or like if some wheel brake was applied. I have to give at least a 70% thrust for the plane to start moving. I read somewhere this aircraft should be rolling with minimal thrust. Is this a normal behavior? Could it be a bug? Thanks again for your amazing work, can't wait for the first updates.

In Cv NAV or Cm NAV on your HSI, the thin needle will indicate VOR/ILS bearing if the ILS frequency is well set and you are in range of the beacon. If everything is well set you should have a course deviation needle and a glidescope deviation needle one the ADI. If not, it's probably a bug or a feature not yet implemented. See Razbam Flight manual page 50 and 80-81 for more info.

Thx Chuck ! You should give version numbers to your files so we can track updates.

The Mirage 2000C weights 16,350 lb with no fuel and its engine generates 21,400 lbf of thrust with afterburner. So as long as the Mirage is fuelled with less than 5,000 lb and no weapons, it should be able to climb 90° and still accelerating.
