  1. not raised because already acknowledged in the changelog.
  2. o i m dead hahaha
  3. placebo. i thought curves helped when i was learning but by the time i got good it didnt matter what the input response looked like. looking back, the curves didnt make a difference at all. putting in regular practice did. so do yourself a favor and just focus on the flying instead of looking for ways to make flying easier.
  4. why even fly at all if all you do is autopilot
  5. there is only one goal in reality and that is to win. obviously if the paks could they, would also just opt for f-22s instead. aviation enthusiasts can afford the luxury of having interests beyond simply the goal of winning conflicts though. we're interested in how all the various aspects of a particular aircraft affect the usage and results in practice. watching a mig-21 spiral up and away from me in the f-5 made me appreciate the thrust of the f-15 in a new light. running out of gas after 30 minutes in the bf-109 gave me a new perspective on the concept of endurance. it's these sorts of insights that makes study sims truly a learning experience, and trying to avoid the pain of these very real issues is actually doing yourself a disservice. so im not saying im against the jf-17 having aar capability. i'm saying it shouldn't be something you should feel disappointed about at all about, whether or not it has it or not. you should just accept the airplane you get for what it is.
  6. accepting and working around an aircraft's limitations is what gives it uniqueness and value.
  7. relax, you can find out for yourself tomorrow
  8. if i understand correctly even pakistani field modification fuel probe was a block 2 thing?
  9. here let me say what ed can't say aloud: cut out middleman gaben. the sooner you support ed directly the better off you'll be. your move.
  10. iirc its a criteria for nvg compatibility
  11. that is what i recall as well somewhere in this forum like 2 months ago or so but im not spending my time digging it up
  12. its not a big deal if it cant yet anything that can be done will be done but theres a thing called priorities
  13. it used to be that marketers had to hype up the crap they wanted to sell because people didnt part so easily with their money i think hype is unneeded when making reasoned, educated purchasing decisions and so i find it disturbing that people voluntarily ask to get hyped. to me it is analogous to inviting burglars into your house for a walkthrough. you're doing the other side's job for them. it seems in the end the euphoria that accompanies hopeful expectation has developed into its own form of entertainment. speculation is capable of yielding more profit than the actual product as people are buying into their own internal fantasy, which is far more perfect than the product will ever be. tldr we are fooling ourselves and loving it
  14. you guys only have yourselves to blame for your own folly there wasnt any hype, you guys made it up
  15. if fc4 doesn't cover 3rdparty aircraft the only logical choices to me seem to be the 4 ww2 aircraft.
  16. haha good luck getting people to read before they post the people who take care to actually read the forum arent the ones polluting it with duplicate threads.
  17. if you were really understanding and okay with it then why do you even have to ask?
  18. i seem to remember statements made to the point that because the ag radar was of lesser significance for a2g functionality than the atflir, it is correspondingly of lesser development priority so dont expect it too soon.
  19. yeah because for example the a-10 totally has the ground mapping radar needed for noe :rolleyes:
  20. not sure what you have to gain from waiting until the last possible second
  21. scramjet is a truncation of supersonic combustion ramjet. supersonic combustion is the really major hurdle that had to be jumped. scramjets can't operate "like a turbofan" because like all ramjets there is no turbine compressor... it's kind of fundamental to the concept of ramjets. one would need to specifically tack on a turbine engine unit to get low end thrust like in the j58.
  22. i love it when the hottest thread on the forum has nothing to do with airplanes
  23. what he's saying isn't exclusive with what op is saying. there is no argument that in terms of pure tactical considerations wvr is undesirable. but the merge is a place where one gets to enjoy the freedom of flying, and that's a major part of the passion for many aviators. what op is saying is that video games affords us the freedom to look beyond the matter of winning and losing and enjoy dogfighting as an art. notably in speed and angels, one of the tomcat pilots stated that despite achiving his dream of flying in a jet in combat, he ended up being happiest flying his stearman bipe.
