  1. Anybody able to whip up a Hula Girl?
  2. I see you needing to correct about five degrees to the right for crosswind you’re flying in... Your TVV is right in the middle of your pitch ladder...
  3. Using the little flipper that can go between Electric and Pneumatic
  4. Left Side Of The HUD Release Cue “Staple”* Also a Countdown To Release / Time To Impact Count Up *IAMs are not functioning properly right now. ED are investigating.
  5. Set Manually and the Altimeter needs to be set to Electric (unless that bug got fixed)
  6. Depends on where someone crashes. In the sand of a desert, flames will extinguish faster than if they go down in dry grass or a wooded area where there are combustibles.
  7. Ok, so push it to a month. If you can’t fly at least once a month, then those who can deserve the benefit. Otherwise, what’s the point? I mean if I fly every day or twice a week, I shouldn’t fade as fast as someone who flys once every two months should I? If you’re going to inflict a handicap, then it should be balanced by a reward.
  8. It could stand to be more like 0, 200, 0 for more contrast instead of the 0, 255, 0 which washes out pretty easily.
  9. For GBU-12s you only lase the last 12-15 seconds before impact. Same for the new GBU-54s. That’s only a minute of use over four drops. AGM-65Ls require a bit longer lase time as do the new rockets but still, you’re looking at maybe 30-40 seconds max per weapon (and honestly, IMO, the 65L should be lased by an off board entity so that it’s “Fire & Forget” for the Hog … self lasing means driving in uncomfortably close to targets.) I’ve flown several 3+ hour missions and never had a laser failure. I certainly never leave it on full time.
  10. If it will bleed or burn - CBU-87 If it will burst or melt - CBU-97
  11. I just cycled the sights really quickly and the computing sight was there.
  12. Same. If i really want a “selfie” I just hit F2
  13. Well, one instance would be CAS where you really only have two steerpoints: 1) Home Base 2) Your CP or Check In Point Neither of which really require anything more than your NAV system and certainly don’t need to be scrutinized like a target. Everything else is going to be fed to you in your AO by a JTAC or FAC(A) and if your TGP just floats in space between attack runs until you need to bring everything to bear, that’s really no big deal. Another might be Armed Recon where you’re only given a rough idea where to look so you’re going to be pretty much anchored and orbiting in one place and be heavy on TGP work scanning for bad guys. IF you’re given a target that’s co-located with a steerpoint, then all bets are off and you can slave everything to that point at will. Point is, it’s rare where you need to have every sensor slaved to one spot at all times so if one or two are “dangling” it’s really not a big deal. At least that’s how I see it.
  14. China Hat (on the throttle) Forward Short
  15. I wasn’t really clear, sorry... You need 7m/s surface wind to “force” an airport to use a particular runway if the one you want for sure has an ILS. The calm wind runway in use may not actually have one.
  16. Time to put Bunyap back to work! On The Range 2!!
  17. My cheat sheet says DMS RIGHT SHORT = Cycle TAD Center Option Not sure what that means though.
  18. Why not tie it to frequency of flight (a real life factor) Take a week off (in real time) and your G tolerance slips some but gets better if you fly several flights in a row (but then it can start to decline again if you fly too much in one session) There are possibilities!
  19. Mine are actually aligned pretty well. Just need to raise my chin a hair sometimes but otherwise, quite usable.
  20. Left Short - Your ownship symbol will drop farther down the map on the TAD and not be in the center. eg A 5nm Range in CNTR will give you a 7.5nm Range in DEP
