IIRC, the problem is that the Su-25 max files have been lost. Fixing this would require recreating the entire external model. That’s not going to happen, not with this version of the aircraft, anyway.

Unfortunately there’s no such “switch” available. It would provide the best of both worlds.

I don’t imagine “RShift+N” does anything, does it?

No, that’s what I was referring to. It was just a thought. Hopefully, it wasn’t something that required a knob turn in the FF model and was overlooked in the FC simplification process.

You might want to check for something under the aircraft in “Controls”.

Very cool. Patiently waiting for my download to finish. Just a few more days to go.

Good to know. I’m still days away from having the new update installed and being able to install FC4.

If you purchased and installed FC4, wouldn’t FC3 now be defunct? Or is it that FC4 shows up as FC3 with the 3 new aircraft?

If you buy, FC4, it comes with the 3 additional aircraft. If you buy those aircraft individually, you have NOT purchased, FC4. Is that, perhaps part of the issue? I’m still days away from having this update installed. So I’m just basing my question on what’s actually for sale.

If you own the Supercarrier, it came with that.

If we're talking specifically about the RDM in the real world, while the ranges are similar, I believe the RMD range is based on a 5m² RCS, while the N001's is based on 3m². So not quite the same thing.

Ahhh…you mean I had nothing to fear? I never opened the file in the ME to see how it was set up. Anytime you’re having difficulty, just ask.

Yes, the increment is in 2km units.

This was something I was working on years ago. I had uploaded it to YT to see what the start looked like. But life overtook me and I never finished it. There are no arrows pointing to what I’m referring to but you’ll know where to look. It might be somewhat helpful.

Just checked your TRK. The closing rate is much to fast to be playing around like you were at that range. By the time you set yourself up with what you thought was the right elevation, the range was down to something like 8 km. So they were now well under your setting. I took control of your TRK at the start and flew it without changing the expected target range. Take a look. That's a pretty intense scenario and I was more concerned with surviving than making kills. But picking them up wasn't a problem. TRK attached. Ironhand-n001 no track.trk

I never bother with the expected target range setting because it makes your life more difficult than it needs to be. If you leave it alone, unless there’s a huge altitude differential, the most you’ll need is +1 for the target elevation…+2 if they’re right on top of you. In your scenario, if you want to use “expected target range”, increase the target elevation +1 for each kilometer the targets are above you. +4, +5, means that they are 4000 or 5000 meters above you at 20 km distance. If they’re 2000 m above you, it’d be +2.

Piece of cake. Can do it every time, even with my eyes closed.

Patch delayed again? Guess I’ll just go and fly. Beats hell out of not flying for 3 or 4 days while the patch downloads.

Yes. It’s quite elegant being able to get those views in F1 rather than having to rely on F4, etc.

Like CommandT, I was trying to understand what was different in your example because it’s never worked that way in any other pit I’ve sat in. After trying several variations on a theme, I concluded that it had to be the aircraft itself. So I installed it and voilà. Gotta love “free to try”.

It's an F-16 thing. Just installed the F-16 to check and it works in that pit. But not in any other that I've tried, as soon as you hit those view keys in F1 view, you have taken control of the view and the pilot responds to your inputs. In the F-16, that doesn't happen.

They do.

Yes, ED is aware.

The only solution I’ve found is to fly with no clouds.

That was very cool.
