Don't exceed 6.5G sustained. Its an eatly 1960's aluminum job.

Good enough. Thank you.

Please post a link to template PSD. Thank you.

So why does it look so poor compared to A-10CII? I mean both a simming the same peice of equipment. The LiteningII TGP.

New FLIR in TGP looks muich more authentic. How is that done.Is there a infrared shader being applied to scene geometry. I love the how ED brough a little kaos to order by having TGP slew rotate off target after sharp roll or evasive maneuver, or long time of TGP being masked. Is the new FLIR in A10CII , DCS wide, or limited to Howg?

If ever. Due to current ah.... circumstances. New FLIR look in A10CII as of 2.9.6 looks so much more organic and authentic.

Everybody is male and pale. This world has no people other ethnicities, races, and genders.

That is an impressive mod. Very sensitive, like real thing. Realistic EFM flignt model?

Great F-5E is one of my favorite modules. Thats where I practice my daylight stick and rudder skills as old school O.G. manual depression sight bombing/AG work. Like IRL USAF pilots keep their flight hour requirements in T-38 rather in more mentally exausting combat platforms.

Right now I am noticing that Easy Communications being reset to ON on every launch of DCS 2.9.6

I have normal F-5E module. Is FC F-5EFC same thing

Experimenting with Intel TextureWorks DDS. Created Hornet skin that emulated F-35C, F-15E, stealthy ferrous dark grey paint scheme with subdued markings. I think it makes legacy Hornet look a bit more aggressive. Sadly, as I cannot get into my ED account I am unable to UL skin pack to User Files. So I there are here. 1.In C:\Users\USER\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Liveries\FA-18C_hornet make a copy of VFA-37 LowViz folder. 2. Rename copy folder from VFA-37 LowViz to VFA-37 LowViz_dkgray 3. Replace DDS files in that folder with DDS files included. Launch DCS. The skin is called VFA-37 LowViz dkgrey VFA-37 LowViz_dkgray.rar

Thats is dish-bag bonkers! Switchology sequence is absurdly complex

Somehow I got it to lock on to the Molnya. But I dont understand of sequence. I dont understand why the slew caret has a mind of its own. Why I cannot slew MavF seeker indepently of HUD? Why it wont lock on and stay locked on. Whoever designed this is dish! MavF_engagement.trk

I dont get something here. With Left MDI as SOI, and MavF uncaged, and Master Arm ON. I CANNOT MOVE THE TARGET TRIANGLE!!!! It does not move. When I make HUD the SOI , I can slew the diamond and MavF triangle caret moves with it. Then as soon as I uncage, the MavF triangle goes nuts! It moves by itself somewhere. It does not slew under my control. I dont understand what its doing. I have no cpontrol over it. But I should. MavF selected, UNCAGED, L MDI as SOI, Master Arm ON. But I get no slew control. Very confusing. To Slew MavF with L MDI as SOI, uncage, then hold down TDC DEPRESS while slewing using TDC axis. That does not work. As soon as I uncage the triangle runs away. No control.

Omigosh. This module's switchology for MavF is crazy confusing. Its locked on, it shows. Its in range, and its uncaged. Whats missing?

Its UNCAGED. AFAIK can tell it is SOI. Look at the track. Its says n L MDI UNCAGED

I admit. I am stumped. MavF (IR) wont launch. I am in AG mode MavF seeker locked ON. Or so it appears. Master Arm ON INRNG que Launch- But MavF wont do it. ???????????? MavF_wont_launchtrk.trk

A manned drone.

In F-35 the emphasis is on pilot tactics in combat , not mastering aerodynamics and safety systems of aircraft. If the aircraft cannot stall, regardless of what pilot does, no-matter what AOA he/she flies, whatever G , up to max allowed, then aircraft cannot depart. If aircraft has automatic terrain avoidance. Pilot can concentrate on finding , tracking, and prosecuting target. F-35, sadly has very high per flying hour flying costs, due to maintenance and mission prep requirements for stealth. So hours are better used in tactical traning then flight safety Dash-1 training. SEPECAT Jaguar, F-111, mighty SR-71 were all about flying first, fighting second. Those aircraft departed easily. To exent, all 2nd, 3rd and 4th gen military aircraft are like that. Col. Rich Graham, a SR-71 pilot and former 9th Rec. Wing Commander stated that in SR-71, flying safely is first and primary mission of crew. The reece mission is secondary. They crews had wide lattitude to abort, without recrimimination. No mission was worth aircraft and crew. On critical missions, SR-71 flew as two ship cell, with third in airborne reserve far behind. Only one, primary, Blackbird would proceed to target . If it had to abort due to systems ossie or crew decision, the send Blackbird would go on to target. Mark my words, future blocks of F-35 and follow on 6th gen may elimininate pilot flight controls, or jhave them as standby. So no need for stick throttle or rudder pedals. Contro, would be by thought and gesture. But you must think in English. hehe.

Those REDFOR dish-bags just want to releive the faded glory of Evil Soviet Empire. They hail Chernenko, and Brazsnev, whike cursing Gorby. Though Mig-27 would be interesting. But only if its detailed high fidelity with Soviet Russian reverse engineneered ARBS that they took from West.

I watched Ward Carroll's YT video digest of this mishap. Basically pilot did not have PLM (Precision Landing Mode) enabled. PLM in F-35C controls throttle, and flight surfaces, and PLM flies the ball, not the pilot. The pilot's helmet visor 'HUD' has a 3 WIRE line drawn. THe pilot places flight path marker on that line and aircraft dioes the rest. The system is tripple or quad redudntant and if ON, allegedly NEVER INOP. Always works. Hard to beleive, but thats what is claimed. So with PLM enabled , with path marker on synthetic #3 wire, the aircraft flies itself , coupled with carrier CILS, as if it were in a tractor beam. But it has to be ON and enabled. In excitemment,pilot failed to to turn it on. So aircraft got low and slow due to power. Kind of like seat belts and air bags. THey only work when used and enabled. To be fair, more then few pilots and passengers and victims on ground perished becouse flight crew did not fully understand auto-pilot and similar control aids if the aircraft. So as result the 'BLUE' unclassified NATOPS for F-35C now has BOLD FACE (required and memorized) "PILOT SHALL ENGAGE PLM FOR FINAL APPROACH TO TRAP". I did not know, but it makes sense, that there are three NATOPS for every air system in Navy and Marine Corps Blue- unclassified. General flight manual Dash 1 for operation and safety Yellow- confidential, no foreign unauthorized exposure. Expanded flight envelope. Prohibited maneuvers. Red - classified. I am guessing for tactics, weapons, communications, maintenance, systems, full flight envelope. Aircraft can fight in ACM at up to 60 AOA. Crazy, without TVC. Those FBW control laws must be very relaxed. No way a teen 4th gen fighter can fight ACM at 60 AOA. Thats TVC SU-30MK and F-22 territory.

(OK) #4 Wire. However after trap my right main gear leg was bent and broken, gear sensor was AFU, and wing would not fold. Perhaps ttapped a bit too much for plane to take. On playback,note how extreme the nose lean of Hornet after grabbing wire. FA18Case1_OK_4wire_gearDmg.trk

Thank you. I'll just wait until next update. That usually does the trick. I am mostly practicing Hornet traps anyways.

I restored the files from Norton. But M2000 is still no longer authorized. Norton has served me well for over a 15 years.
