Hoops here. No google account, your opinion also doesn't count.

Oh, come on. Getting a launch warning while still in a hardened aircraft shelter is a GREAT introduction to MP!

So...a RIO with the hot air directed down rather than forward?

None of the long standing issues stop me from having quite a bit of fun flying the F-5. So, yes, by your standards I, too, am proudly part of the problem. Thank you for your recognition. Now, when will DCS get busy and give me an opportunity to give them money? I don't expect perfection (nothing ever is), just entertainment and enjoyment.

:music_whistling: :pilotfly:

In 15 years I'll be caught up with all the existing toys, so put me on the list of people who wholeheartedly approve of their current plans. Of course in 15 years I'll probably be dead. Still, at that point there's finally nothing more to learn.

Really? I mapped oxygen flow to an axis, set it to 100%, and passed out on the ground. Wags said it wasn't a bug, I bit my tongue.

DCS still hasn't fixed the serial number on the 2.75" rockets. I can't believe this bug has existed since 1938 and they still haven't fixed it, so no more money from me unless they're releasing something new. Or pre-ordering. Or early access. Or letting us pay for rumors... Syria is bought. Pretty close to a perfect blue on purple map.

No worries; wasn't one of those "If you don't fix this RIGHT NOW I won't buy anything else from DCS unless you add something I haven't already bought yet" problems. On the other hand, interesting to know that's a layer. Should have been obvious, but still interesting. How many AG radar sets are there on warbirds (besides the I-16 of course)?

Has anyone noticed that (at least among the AI ships in PG) it might take three or four thousand pounds of LGB to sink something, but hit them with a Maverick and they go down faster than a 688 doing a crash dive. We need Mav warheads on harpoons.

I'm not sure how to not make it work. All I do is turn my head...you do need to get into a different view at least once. Hit F2, then back, see what happens.

AG radar is borked in channel, did manage to land on the CV while it was next to the pier in Dover. Backed in, so the approach is over the trees on the hill. No FPS dings, though. Haven't run into this one yet.

I know it's false positive. Just saying my Romanian anti-virus doesn't like your (Swedish?) .dll Can't anybody get along anymore? The file D:\DCS World\_downloads\Mods\aircraft\AJS37\bin\AJS37.dll is infected with Gen:Variant.Ursu.840745 and was moved to quarantine. It is recommended that you run a System Scan to make sure your system is clean.

Sorry for the (temporary) hijack, one of our watch officers claimed he was in the F-18 pipeline but the vision in one eye went to 20/25 and he got booted. At the time I thought he was full of <waste, nuclear, 1 ea>, but I'm still curious if that's the sort of thing that would get you dropped from the pipeline. In the early/mid 80s. About the time the 18As were coming on line. I got reminded of this from Mover interviewing Gonky, who said the recruiter tried to get him into the nuke program. Once a nuke, always a nuke. There's no escape. Ever. If you die and your GPA is close enough they send you to the fleet anyway. If your GPA isn't close enough you get a commission first.

Mine always starts with flaps up, and there are no issues going up and down with them. I have them set to a switch on the throttle. If they start down look at your flaps immediately after spawning and check if they're in motion. Agree with the people who say controller binding. I get in trouble if I don't make sure my gear switch isn't up when I spawn...

FNAEB. (For reasons having nothing to do with anything here I needed to learn what happens to troubled Naval Aviators and spent way too much time digging into MILPERSMAN 1610-020 and COMNAVAIRESFOR Instruction 5420.1B and other sleep inducing regulations. No, I've never had anything to do with Naval Aviation other than applying for NFO with my 20/400 vision, so anything I think I know is purely academic) In other news, my vision is 20/10 now, decades too late.

I do believe (correct me if I'm wrong) the P-38 was chosen for fleet air defense on D-Day because it didn't look anything like a German aircraft. Twin booms, invasion stripes... ...of course none of that mattered to the naval gunners, who operated on the theory that they shoot everything down and sort the wreckage later, but at least someone tried.

FNAEB?

You mean I don't have to do the standard 3xaltitude and manually calculate TOD anymore? That's a 3 degree rate of descent; I'd be shocked (SHOCKED, I tell you!) if the military did 10 degrees.

The shuttle could handle launch bars or bridles. IIRC some of the older carrier aircraft had hold-backs attached to the same pivot as the hook, but that might be my imagination. I know they used frangible dog bones in the hold backs. Different technology than we see on the SC. In any event, we get back into 1960-1980 and there was very little standardization. Different aircraft launched differently, and they just knew who was next and were ready for it. Says the guy who never stood on a carrier deck during flight operations.

Last time I checked (been a while) the French still use them. Toss 'rm into the ocean; they don't have bridle catchers.

Slosh is designed into the bits that matter; we draw nice little ovals when teaching the NUBs, but everything is baffled half to death. There's just not enough mass moving to cause a problem with stability, and the structure is...beefy. Submarines are more fun, especially since they change size. Maybe rather than being more experienced with your inputs you needed more awareness of the scram parameters? If you're dumping a reactor like that maybe you need a new hobby? :thumbup: :pilotfly:

In what way has this changed any? Serves the British right for establishing a standard before we were around to set them right. So to speak. :thumbup: :pilotfly:

Season 4, Episode 42. Yes, I have the whole set on DVD. And the movies.

Oh. Yeah. That...well...no, you really don't want to know. It's...tricky. Overheard someone on a pay phone telling their parents we take the cores out of the reactors and store them in the little fenced in electrical substation on the pier from which shore power is supplied because they're too dangerous to keep on board. This made me less guilty about taping up a fluorescent tube and waving it around the deck at night to catch the side lobes from the radar, then telling the nearby topsiders I was looking for radiation leaks... As for the manual, the RPMs (Reactor Plant Manuals) are a surefire cure for insomnia. Unfortunately there's no cure for the RPM. Startup is easy; I've done it in my sleep. A couple times. 72 hour days suck.
