I use 2x #50 on both axis. No problems to report. Beamscanner's question was perfectly reasonable as per his response. Best business practices don't generally involve (trying to) mock your own customers.

No it won't; the ice sensor is located within the inlet before the hot bleed air, so the sensor will never get de-iced. The warning message therefore only tells you inlet icing conditions exist, not that the engine is actually iced up. It's worth mentioning that the icing model is, I believe, totally inconsequential, but it's also not modelled correctly in the first place: e.g. in reality it's no possible to encounter icing in clear air, but you can in DCS.

"Bleed air must be turned" may also refer to cycling the knob to open the bleed air shut off valves. They will be closed if you've run a fire detection check. If you've not done this, the bleed air shut off valves will be open, so it may seem as if the bleed air cycling has no purpose.

Good info, but don't see why that's relevant to this conversation.

ILS, ICLS and ACLS are 3 separate systems. The hornet has ICLS and ACLS but not ILS.

I'm aware of that. What I meant was that we'll not be refueling each other - the E will just be another AI tanker. I could of been clearer though, so fair enough.

This might be easier: http://www.courier-critic.co.uk/fa18c/ Just throw in some details and it'll give you the numbers. I've not gotten around to adding all weapons/airfields yet though.

Would need the E model for that; the C doesn't have the capability.

Why? Requesting permission for engine start is certainly the norm for busy civil airports, but not so much for military. At least as far as I'm aware. :music_whistling:

My first thought is you hadn't selected full flap.

No, this request is to overcome a shortcoming in our desktop hardware, not about adding capability. You said you understood...

The reason for this request was clearly covered in the first 2 posts, and isn't difficult to understand.

Interesting, thanks.

I think you should be ok to use TACAN for a navfix. TACAN transmits bearing and distance information IIRC, so won't be thrown off by mag drift.

I'd not checked this for some time. Very disappointing such a glairing bug remains unfixed.

Just a minor correction: 33k lbs is the unrestricted weight. Most of the time those restrictions won't apply, so max trap is 34k lbs in most cases.

If you break at corner speed pulling max G, at that instant you'll get your best instantaneous rate and you'll be very close to your smallest turn radius also, but ONLY at that instant. You'll immediately start bleeding speed and your turn rate will start to fall off. You now have a choice: keep pulling to maintain minimum turn radius, or ease off the stick to keep your speed up for best sustained rate. You have to pick one, you don't get both. Just look at a turn performance chart.

Thanks for the info!

Does anyone know if the A8 will release with the previously advertised new damage model, or the more simplistic one current planes have? Thanks.

It is, but we still seem to have no idea how long for. Could still come out today, or not. We're none the wiser.

From NATOPS, this is the reason why it's important to have anti-skid turned off when taxiing: Good question about why you'd want spoilers only. I expect this wouldn't normally be used, only if there was a known or suspected anti-skid/brake fault of some sort.

ED have taken that concern onboard and are coming up with a solution; it'll be ok :thumbup:

I have no idea. You could be right, but the manual suggests there is a difference. It doesn't mean there isn't one just because a difference isn't immediately apparent.

The NATOPS specifically references INS + GPS and EGI not being the same thing.
