I also have the CH Pro pedals, unmodified with no curve applied; I've not entered into any PIOs whilst transitioning into or out of the hover. This enter into PIO state could be compounded by the removal of the springs. The transition into and out of the hover being the critical period on entering ~30kts to ~90kts; there was a potential to enter into PIOs, having read and listened to actual stories on it, so limit yourself to pedal deflection to correct, i.e. once you've started a yaw moment back towards the heading you desire, centre the pedals and let the nose come around at a sensible speed, all the while being prepared to then start to apply gentle opposite pedal to slow the yaw moment, reducing it until on heading.

There are now several threads asking about missing airports, airbases and so on. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=209240 https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=209352 https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=209503 I think it might be worth merging them and pinning/sticking it so others can find it easily, perhaps with some explanation that it appears likely ED will be adding them later, due to the apparent placeholders present at their locations on the terrain module.

I could not find an expansive list of bases, fields, ports that'll be added, aside from a brief mention in the newsletter; https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=151478&page=15 I'd keep an eye on that, some major airports are missing, so I expect(hope) they'll be added, especially where I see placeholders for them. Perhaps I missed the thread title when trawling the forum by hand, but I found the above with this google search term; site:forums.eagle.ru newsletter may 2018 Adjust as necessary.

This sounds like it's suffering from dip error, a condition with magnetic HIs. As to whether this system ought to be behaving like that, I doubt it.

I'm confident they'll be added, there are place-holders for other airports, like OM11 https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=209240

Is this Windows 7, or 10, and if 7 is that with Aero enabled?

I'm hoping to raze Trump Tower, not checked that yet.

Brilliant, I thought that'd be the case as I found what appear to be placeholders for airports such as Abu Dhabi Northeast OM11, and others you'd find on an aeronautical chart. But I felt it worth having it mentioned in a thread so others pondering on this will find it.

Noticed some uh, interesting circles of grass, too.

I understand the Hormuz Strait map is early access, just checking this isn't just me and that these are to be added, or am I missing that perhaps this represents Hormuz Strait circa 198N ? Also this might serve to give a heads-up to others that looked for them. I should state, it runs very well and is a pleasure to fly around. Good work.

Most modern SSDs will saturate SATA II and III both of these saturated will be faster than any mechanical offering. M.2 is a luxury, but for DCS I have found saturating SATAII is just fine, you'll be a-okay with III.

To answer my own question, this is outlined in the; V/STOL SHIPBOARD AND LANDING SIGNAL OFFICER NATOPS MANUAL Excerpt from CHAPTER 10; Alternate Approaches; 10.1.1 Bow-to-Stern Recovery. 1. Normally used when a significant tailwind exists. 2. Fly down the starboard side of the ship at 800 feet on a heading opposite the BRC. 3. Break right past the stern. 4. Utilize the standard Case 1 procedures with a right-hand pattern. 5. The bow-to-stern recovery is depicted in Figure 10-1.

I found this in the LSO manual, regarding AV-8Bs reversing under their own thrust; 7.2.7 Backing Up. Aircraft backing up under its own power is not preferred. If required the procedures are as follows: 1. Set 35-percent rpm (406/406A), 40-percent rpm (408). 2. Select braking stop. 3. Select idle once the aircraft is rolling. 4. Monitor maximum idle JPT. 5. Follow the taxi director signals by stepping on the rudder pedal to which the taxi director points. CAUTION Judicious use of braking is required to avoid striking the tail of the aircraft while backing.

Here is a nice shot of two AV-8Bs conducting a reverse landing on LHA-6 USS America, that is clearly underway. I've asked a question on there regarding the ships speed and speculate this; That a reverse landing is conducted when either one or a combination of the following conditions are met; Wind on stern is greater than the ship can overcome, whether that's by performance limitation, or not wishing to reach a waypoint too soon, or sail into foul weather too soon etc. Turning into wind is decided against, for whatever reason; say time constraints et al. It was interesting to see, and am pondering about the procedure of such a landing, what the speed of the vessel is, relative wind-speed on deck etc. I have also noted that actual AV-8B landings on deck are not as rigidly square as some DCS specific tutorials, namely the manoeuvre abeam to over-the-deck transition appears to flown in a slightly more rounded-off fashion, rather than right-angles. Below is a VTOL landing by day, though I wonder, what does this look like with a reverse vertical landing? From the following manual, attached. 00-80T-111 - VSTOL Shipboard and LSO Manual Jul2004 1Mb.pdf

It's loading things into RAM, so once it's loaded that's why the load time comes down, preload affects this, apparently - though I've not tested, as I just maxed it out due to having plenty of it, though my load time is similar (guesstimating). -edit- Ah, just the main menu and not into game? As minutes of time for that doesn't seem right, because I get the main menu in seconds, and I'm on spinning rust. Perhaps there's some overzealous AV or FW software checking it.

Neat trick, the AV-8 can also do that, as the nozzles go beyond vertical, though I highly doubt you'd see anyone do that in reality as it'd make a Royal mess of anything not nailed down.

If you knock the throttle out of idle, there's an idle/cutoff lock-stop on the throttle, it has a keybinding, set to have the throttle not move out of idle/cutoff detent, or set when beyond idle/cutoff to prevent it moving back into cutoff (not fun in flight). It seems odd at the moment, as it should behave as if sprung loaded, I believe, such that you actuate it to move past the gate, both ways.

I found if you have the Z(?) axis in TrackIR accelerated a little, then you can lean forward to see the gauges, in the actual aircraft there's a tension release lever on the left so you'd be able to temporarily loosen the straps to do this, in-case you feel it's unrealistic to be able to lean that far. Just for the curious, here in a P-51C at 3 minutes in he gives it a mention;

Heh, or C47, it being tail-dragger. I could get there if I squint through the bottom of a milk bottle.

Including the above advice about reading the manual, circuit bash until you're dizzy.

I'll go ahead and assume that someone will end up doing a repro' of a certain someones F-14A
