An assumption on my part, but I wouldn't be surprised if those speeds are the optimum for each aircraft at the merge. In any case optimum speeds will be different, so it doesn't make sense to have them fly at the same speed - fly to your strengths.

Shame they've gone quiet. Any reviews yet?

No there isn't. *gets coat* :music_whistling:

I like this logic. Spoken like a true sim nut case. Brings a tear to my eye *sniff* :pilotfly:

ED better get you on staff straight away. I'm sure they never would have considered that :music_whistling:

If they release a module early to keep the lights on, and apply what they learn to speed up development of future modules, I'm OK with that. These modules take years to produce. If they did each module 1 at a time, we'd have 2-3. Instead we have 15 (by ED alone). I don't think you're looking at the big picture.

DDSSTT, yeah. I'm not in any rush at the moment, but the crap mini-stick and lack of return to centre on switches that should have it mean if there's an upgrade available, I'll take it.

Showing your age I think :D

Please have an option to buy the throttle only (with the panel, of course 8)). I'm really interested, but I don't need the stick!

I don't think the barricade would generally be used for a low fuel state, at least at short notice, for no other reason than I believe it takes some time to rig (20mins IIRC).

I was worried the box section wouldn't be stiff enough, but seems to be ok.

And so it begins again... :helpsmilie:

Why would you set it 180 degrees out?

I'm making a new mount out of aluminium. I would describe it as a functional rather than professional build, but it works! What did you have in mind that you might need? I'll post a pic of my contraption later.

Thanks for the info!

Interesting, I assumed you'd need to be 'on-speed' with the bracket on final. Nice video.

There is a 39,000lbs limit for field landing (flared). Otherwise, the 33,000lbs limit DOES apply at the field. There's going to be a big difference in stopping distance between a 130kts / 30,000lbs approach compared to screaming in at 150kts / 50,000lbs.

Theoretical starting points: For best radius, as slow as you can get away with. For best rate, merge at corner speed (350 - 375 as Wizard_03 says is a good place to start) and pull hard, then relax back pressure until you reach best sustained turn speed (250kts? don't have a number off the top of my head). Best speeds vary with altitude/weight etc, so don't worry about trying to remember exact figures.

The NATOPS isn't explicit about the fire button doing this, but I wouldn't be surprised if pressing the button cuts off electrical and hydraulic connections. This would reduce load on the engine and might explain the difference.

This is a great site for US based airfields: http://www.airnav.com/airports/ I very much doubt you're going to be doing an overhead brake on an instrument approach.

Yes the software allows you to do that.

Ignore SUBS17, they never contribute anything other than nonsense.

Thanks, always like reading your posts with info such as this.

How are you using them? They used to be bugged so work differently now, since being corrected.

Yes, any plane can land on the carrier. The question is how many pieces, if any, will remain on the deck, and which will decide to carry out a bolter of their own accord :)
