    I’m jealous. It’ll be Monday, at best, before I have it downloaded.

    Thanks. After posting, I realized that there might be an update for it. Was just coming back to delete my post. The update is downloading now. Thanks again.

    So I purchased the map thru DCS. Normally I go into the module manager and my purchase is there ready for installation. But, with this map. it's not. So how do I install it?
  4. Ironhand
    I guess you could call it that but, with the pitch angle he started from (due to climbing), the nose only pitched up an additional 45-50 degrees or so.

    Ahhh... I see. Well, hopefully your concerns will come to naught. And thank you for taking the time to compliment this "has been".

    Orbix does excellent work for other flight sims. There’s no reason to believe this will end up being any different. The early access release will have definite limitations, however. The map will be improved over time. So this map’s early access may not be for you. Figure another year, maybe more, before it’s complete.

    I always wondered why they wanted to split the community in two with MAC. Maybe they changed their minds. MAC was going to be its own world with its own bells and whistles separate from DCS with FC3 remaining part of DCS for access to the Flankers, F-15C, etc. OTOH, now that there’s the F-15E and a FF MiG-29 in the pipeline, there may be no need for an “enhanced” version of FC3 (MAC) and the community split will happen upon the FF M-29A’s arrival. Certainly saves on the ma hours involved.

    @Skyhammer Finally home and took a look at two of your Su-27 tracks (Flanker not even 9 G turn.trk and Flanker 56% fuel still 7.6 G max.trk). The issue in both was airspeed. Yours was too low for the altitude. At 2000m, you need to be up around 900 km/hr to generate enough Gs to even hit the limiter. I took control of your Flanker 56% fuel still 7.6 G max.trk and sat on 8Gs for awhile just to show that the limiter is there and will limit you to 8Gs at that gross weight. And, just for clarity, I did not use the override at any point. Ironhand-Skyhammer-Flanker 56% fuel 8G Limiter-No Override.trk

    None that I’ve noticed. “H” was the original key command and never removed. Then again, I seldom use the AP, so I could be wrong.

    You’re allowed to pull 9Gs in real life according to the manual, just not with a lot of fuel on board. GW needs to be something like 17,100 kg or less.
  11. Ironhand
    Seems a bit low, maybe. Without the override, the aircraft should be limited to 8Gs with a GW of 21,400 kg at an airspeed of M=0.85 or less.
  12. Ironhand
    FWIW, 5,220 kg of fuel (56% fuel load in the ME?) for the Su-27 is considered the basic internal fuel load. The remaining 44% would be going into external fuel tanks, if the Su-27 had been configured that way. So I’m thinking that the Flanker in your scenario had to be close to 100% fuel. That being the case, the F-15 should be carrying full external fuel tanks as well to see how it compares.
  13. Ironhand
    Seems like a lot of weight for making 9 G turns. I’ve been there myself and the wings have never come off. But, then again, I almost never take off at or near max weight either. Out of curiosity, is your F-15 demonstration made with full or nearly full wing tanks? I’ll be interested in viewing the TRKs, when I get back.
  14. Ironhand
    Unfortunately, I’m away from my computer for at least another week. So I can’t view any of the files you provided. But what was the aircraft’s gross weight, when the wings broke?
  15. Ironhand
    They’re working on it.

    The problem is that MBTs, at least, use a general lifeline instead of distinct damage areas. Hit one on the body or turret with a BLU-97B in a controlled experiment and their lifeline drops to around 80%. No more, no less. More hits might damage it more but due to the submunition spacing that’s extremely unlikely. The other thing I noticed is that the submunition passes through the MBT and doesn’t explode until hitting the ground beneath it. Or, if after passing through the body at an angle, it hits the ground outside the body, the tank remains at 100%.

    In every instance I’ve heard of this happening, it’s been caused by a mod. Try uninstalling any mods and see if the problem disappears—especially FC3 related mods.
  18. Ironhand
    That's interesting. Didn't know you could do that. Would certainly make flying missions easier. Start at the end and save a bunch of time.
  19. Ironhand
    Functions such as rewind are, unfortunately, impossible in the current system. Essentially the current “replay” is simply the mission being flown again with your computer now controlling your aircraft based on how you handled it. It can’t be rewound any more than you can rewind a mission while you’re flying it. It will take the development of a new recording system before some of our wishes can be realized.
  20. Ironhand
    Pretty easy, though I’d do it to a copy of the file unless you can download the mission again in case things go awry. Open the mission with whatever you use to unzip a ZIP file. Find the music and delete it. Done. Start the mission and see if the problem is solved.
  21. Ironhand
    The sound file will be in the mission file. MIZ files (and TRK files for that matter) are renamed ZIP files. Open it with WINZIP or something similar and look for the music file.

    I wish it would happen as well. I miss the Crimea map. The people who created that one clearly loved the area. So many of the sites around Sevastopol and the rest of that map were recreated with their distinctive structures, etc, unlike the cookie cutter buildings we have on the Caucasus map. And, since this is a wish list, I wish it could be done again. Unfortunately, the chances of that are 0%.

    Thanks guys. The problem is that it downloads about 85% and, then, fails. No AV running. EDIT: Got it. Finally decided to try Google Chrome to download it and that worked.
  24. Ironhand
    I’ve been trying to download the latest version of the mod using the link on the 1st page but without success. It keeps stalling failing before the download is complete. Neither browser will complete it and google drive doesn’t seem to have a useable link for my download manager. Any ideas?
  25. Ironhand
    Of course, it can. Why do you ask?
