Hi Pit, What kind of "small monitors"?

That's what she said! :P J/K :) I agree! Weird decision...

Yes.

Well, if that looks "funky", the "amateur" ones must be bloody superb. I've seen the CDU from simmeters IRL, and it looked great. We'll have to wait and see I guess.

Yep, talked to a guy from simmeters at the simweekend in lelystad couple of months ago. They had some A-10C stuff on display, and the quality was superb! But yes, I fear it will be very expensive indeed..

Unable to watch the track (at work). But, from your description: You said you were on final, flaring for the landing. When slowing down, the transition from forward speed to the hover, you must keep a very close eye on your VVI. What I think happened is you encountered another helo fenomenon: the Vortex Ring State. Basically, if you go downward at a fast rate, but with a slow horizontal speed, you find yourself in a turbulent piece of air (you are travelling INTO the air you just pushed down, i.e. very turbulent). No effective lift. Fix: get horitontal speed! Get in clean air! Prevention: watch your VVI very closely! (max -3 m/s (from memory) is a safe number). More info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex_ring_state

D'oh missed that.. But yes, I meant the framework etc. :) Read that it's only that and not the monitors, pc etc..

Bloody hell!! Those are indeed some MASSIVE monitors..! Might be worth noting what kind of price target you have :)

For the UH-1: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1582425&postcount=2 For any other helo.. Dunno.. Google? :P

See below ;) He means purely for practice purposes (seeing what the difference is). Right: Obviously power and pitch are used in conjunction. Having said that, pitch is mainly for vertical speed and power for speed. In prop planes this balance is well in the other direction in some cases, as the prop airflow can create additional lift (you definitely do NOT want to cut throttle on the flare in a B-17 for example.). For jet powered aircraft this is not the case (unless you'd have a wing behind the jet exhaust :P ). Example time (airliner, but also applies to our jet, but less exagerated): imagine you arriving at your minimums in an approach to land and you need to do a go-around (for whatever reason). The idea is that you cut your vertical speed immediately. If you *just* increase power (power for vertical speed method), you'll slam yourself into the runway. Obviously, you need to pitch up (i.e. pitch movement!). When you pitch up in a jet, the first thing that happens is that the aircraft starts to climb, and thus loses airspeed. When power is decreased (while keeping the same pitch, no pitch control input and disregarding any pitch-power effect which is very aircraft specific) the aircraft will first lose airspeed, will tend to nose down a bit. The only way then to keep the speed is to pitch down, this increasing the descent. Not sure if I've explained myself properly, hope it helps though :P

Be very carefull when doing a power-approach (i.e. pitch for speed and power for vertical speed). While this principle works if you have no failures/all engines working properly, if you suddenly end up with an engine failure (or engines!), it gets difficult when you only know the above method. Just something for you to keep in mind ;) (I can explain in more detail if you want :) )

If needs arise, I can host. From the Netherlands, with 100MBit (fibreglass) up- and download (4670k,8gb,gtx570). Though not coming saturday, it's my fathers birthdayparty :)

Agreed, would be awesome, but not coming. At this point we are on avionics suite 3 (IIRC...) and the JHMCS is only from suite 7 (again, IIRC...).

At the top of the page, press the button "User CP". There is a "tab" labeled "Latest reputation received". If it's not expanded, you can via the arrow to the right of it. There you can see the most recent rep points received (pos and neg) from other members, based on your postings.

Just below those buttons are another set of buttons allowing you to switch the language ;) But, FWIW Terug = back, Annuleren = cancel :P

I can certainly agree here ;) Huzaah! :)

That SU-27 definitely is AFM material!!

I've got a G19 at the moment, great keyboard, but I'm looking into going to a mechanical keyboard (razer, like cichlidfan has).

1.0.2 was the latest (legacy) BS release IIRC. 1.1.1.1 was indeed BS2 ;)

I need...

Pretty cool, just a shame it's for apple only...

Makes sense :) Ta

So you need the weapons systems control switch on for the external fuel tanks to supply to the internal tanks? If so, why? Power to the outer pylons perhaps?

Read the OP!!! ;) Wow mate! Very kind of you to do this! As I already have all modules, bow me out, but just wanted to say that I'm really impressed with this :) :thumbup:
