In a sustained horizontal turn/loop, there's not much chance that AI will make any mistake. In this case you'd be fighting a plane with vastly superior performance than you (AI MIG21 has similar turn performance as a F15C, so you are fighting something that's one generation ahead of you). You win only if AI make mistakes, and AI do make many mistakes and mess up with geometry if you give it the chance.

In 2.1.4 Flight Director Group - Reference System Selector Switch: >>Rapid turns (above 15° per minute) may temporarily disrupt accurate heading information, requiring straight and level flight for about 20 seconds for manual compass system synchronization (SYNC position) Should it be 15 degree/sec or minute? If it's 15deg/min I'd imagine my heading information to never be accurate lol

Yes, “return pre-contact” to my fellow players

With asymmetrical thrust, yes you can (in game). But you need to symmetrize the thrust on the right time, if you symmetrize too early, the hammerhead will be slow, if too late, you will lose control for some time. This is for B model of course, not familiar with A.

Thank you, learned something interesting today.

After I completed the flight and shut down my engines, I noticed that my right engine nozzle did not close. That happened after a normal dogfight, no engine problem/warning during the process, no light on the warning panel either. I did pull the MCB breaker. Wonder what could have caused this issue? Thanks

I control my landing flaps usage under 200 knots and don't do abrupt pulls, still managed to jam the slats every time. May I know what's the programmed G limit right now?

As a fan of those big flaps — an accurate flap damage model.

I’m all in for a Russian style HMS+R73, would be an interesting what-if for Iranians

I was once at 30000ft, 120nm from home plate with 2000lb of fuel left, and a mig15 on my tail which required some afterburner time to get rid of. I went back eventually with a couple hundred pounds of fuel left. Amazing range of this aircraft.

Mil for me as well

Is there a possibility that something was damaged during the zoom climb? I was in full burner climb from 40000 to 100000 ft and retarded throttle only after I reached peak altitude, will that cause any damage to the engine?

Negative.

Hello All, I was flying at 27000-29000 ft at M1.4 today (on my way home after a zoom climb, if you wonder why I’m so fast at this altitude) and I put my throttle at idle position. Then I hear a “Bang” noise, then another one after about 30 seconds, then repeat every 30 seconds-ish. There’s no cockpit shaking nor stick shaking (I’m using a FFB stick), just this “Bang” noise. It goes away if I push the throttle back to mil position. I’m not sure if this is a compressor stall? If so, how is that possible? Because in my understanding the engine won’t go below certain power setting (possibly mil power?) when supersonic, regardless of the throttle position. In fact I don’t observe any change in my engine RPM/TIT/FF indicator when I move the throttle between idle and mil. Would love to know the reason behind this! Thanks in advance.

Did this for the F-16 — 49000 ft F-15 with 14% fuel — 48500 ft F-14 with 14% fuel — 36500 ft (lol I’m disappointed) Readings are taken directly from the cockpit.
