I'm not at my PC but I bet even with a light F-15C which has an even better T/W ratio than the Hornet you couldn't climb 90° after take off to 30k feet because of the reasons others posted above. (Has anybody tried this? I will...)

This seems odd and is never needed in "my" Hornet. Increasing power only adds a rate of climb in landing configuration. But in normal/auto-flaps config the Hornet will keep 1g even with more power, so it won't climb. In an AAR situation, how much power do you add? I mean you have to closely match the speed of the tanker. Imho there is not much range for a power shift to gain altitude. Maybe a track replay could be helpful?

+1, sure, but let me add one question (maybe people like @Sierra99 could answer): would an air refueling be done with those 2 planes flying towards the sun?

No, it isn't new. edit: From August 2nd 2021

same here

If it is in current OB then it is in stable too, because till the next OB they are the same version.

Amazing!

Stable user here. Just want to thank you for releasing the Strike Eagle to that version. I see it in a very good state for an EA module. Had a lot of fun already. Thanks a lot at ED and Razbam!

+1 +1 edit: interesting fact: there was no additional update for DCS needed, so the error was outside of the latest stable DCS version.

I'm torn between what you posted and the dream that a new DCS II could run close to flawlessly, almost free of bugs and with superb performance. But I'm afraid that's not realistic. However, from time to time I'm figuring for myself, how much money I would spend for the same/DCS II modules I have bought already in DCS 2.X

I guess he does not mean DCS 3 neither, because we will get that as we got DCS 2. Guess he meant something like "DCS II"

Yeah, you mixed it up with the Hawk. The C-101 is still supported with passion.

It's just not fair not to add the C-101EB. Lovely little thing. Well made for DCS.

Imho, we had the golden age in the 80s and 90s and now we have the platinum age with HOTAS, VR and flightsims like DCS. Let me add a guess: who ever starts DCS while enjoying his youth, will call these days the golden age 30 years later.

thanks for the profound answers! will put that hydraulic behaviour on the wishlist for DCS 5.0

Thanks for the explanation. I wonder whether there is a emergency retraction system of the speed brake in the Strike Eagle because a plane without hydraulic pressure might not want to have the speed brake extended.

seems to make sense. What leads to the question: shouldn't this valve be operational even after the loss of the hyd. pressure and if so, shouldn't the speed brake retract by opening the valve?

From English Wikipedia: "One personal view from a World War II pilot stated: The funny thing about a ready room is that you get attached to the hole. As much as you are attached to the ship. It's more than sentiment. It's an urge for protection. The loneliest feeling in the whole of a carrier pilot's world is when he's at sea with the gas running low, and he can't see his carrier. You think of the ready room then, and the noisy guys who make it the most desirable place in the world. It's your office, you live in it, it is the big thing in your life. […] You sweat and worry in it, and grouse and argue, and you get mad at it when you can't hear yourself speak because everyone is yelling at once, but you're deeply attached to the place. — Tommy Booth, "Wildcats" Over Casablanca " It may take a lot of work and time for ED but I hope they try to get close to this step by step.

I'd also prefer interactive cockpits and would pay for those but I'm afraid FC3 is what it is and will stay that way. I still enjoy it from time to time.

After coming back to the FC3 modules with a VR headset and a better HOTAS I realised that almost everything I needed was bindable to a button, lever or dial. So I eventually forgot that FC3's are "not clickable". I like the flightmodels and even the cockpits very much.

Could it be that the issue isn't Jester's mood or attitude per se but the inevitable repetitions?

Imho the Supercarrier is already worth the money, and let's not forget it will get even better with the ready room and air boss station. I will never forget the first time I had a cat shot from the Supercarrier (in VR) (I wish we had an interactive ground crew / chief implemented for land based cold starts, but that is another story)

Glückwunsch zum Zweijährigen Wunderschönes Video!

Außer man heißt Rooster;)

lol, the first 5 sec I thought: "Man, raytraycing looks great in DCS 3.0"
