even in small GA planes irl flaps are quite the kick in the rear when you lower them. You can really feel it. But visually it can be hard to notice.

I never seen it with rockets loaded, that would be epic if you would include that as well. But a SUU-20 with BDU's was a very common loadout for training at least at Shaw iirc during that era. (not sure about ANG) Anyways, just one of the weird pods that really stuck with me from back then and thought it would be cool to have.

Here is a couple of pics my friend took when I got him a photo pass a lifetime ago :P.

+1 An-2 all the way!!! Would insta buy!

@Kev2go Looks like "AutoTrimmer" was added as an option to the gameplay tab in settings this update in beta (or recently). Might want to give it a try and see if it does anything for I-16.

Was confirmed over the the mi8 version of this thread that the F-14 does allow the RIO to click switches in front seat. And while it might still not apply to the huey or hip for various reasons, it does seem that HB cracked the multicrew issue at least somewhat with the F-14. Hopefully they can get it in the Hind being developed they can back port it to the huey and hip!

I think in the F14 the RIO can actually flick switches in front seat by looking over shoulder. ( at least a streamer told me they could when I thought I saw it in a stream), I don't have it my self to check. That indicates to me HB may have cracked the issue, if they allow others to use it that would be epic.

something something top speed...

Dang it :P I was hoping to be familiar with the one you all got data from if that was the case:P Thanks for the quick reply!

Well it being a F-16 is enough. but... CBU 97's

So was the majority of visual data(or whatnot) for the module taken from a single aircraft, If so whats the tail number? edit: sorry, thought I was in main form, not wishlist...

Your welcome, Thank you all for checking it out and for the kind words as well!

Hello all, I just finished adding the checklists from the I-16 Quickstart. I-16 Checklists This is all on a site I created to help people out! I got most of the aircraft checklists uploaded! LISTd It can be viewed on a phone or desktop pc fine and has a lot of checklists. Hope you all enjoy and good luck with the first DCS module OctopusG!

Hello. Grats on the release! I wanted to ask if you might be willing to upload the manual and other documents to the forums so people that have not bought the module yet can use that info to create content like checklists for others? Thanks!

Congrats on the module!

Automatic mode takes a lot of practice and exacting flight attitude to target to even have the bombs release reliably imho. I have not tried the other modes yet. but I would imagine that they are all easier then auto mode :P

Ahh thanks for info, I am only trying to figure out if the trim in the mig 15 is supposed to have such short limits IRL in real life. Good info tho. I do want to get a FFB in the future for the helos. I thought it would be nice for the older jets and prop jobs as well but maybe not. As far as doing a descending approach, I am just trying to do slow flight practice, which is flying right above stall speed and doing basic left and right turns and ascend and descend while maintaining air speed with gear and flaps down. It is an IRL general aviation practice to learn the handling of the aircraft and to understand what the impending stall feels like to better avoid it ( up to debate, modern school of thought is to avoide ever getting to signs of stall vs learning signs). Military might have a different way of doing this as well.

If it is an insult or not is in the receivers opinion. I am glad you "ment it as a joke" but it's the rare insult where the person does not try to pass it off as a joke, I believe you meant it as a joke, but that does not change the fact that it was not wanted or appreciated. Also Glad you are shocked at what I do for fun in the game. If we are talking about trim limits ands how they affect trimming level for slow flight, what was the point then of bring up the fact that other aircraft nose up at high speed? the only connection I made was that you meant it had trim limits issues in both direction, but that was not the case, so what does pitch up tendencies at speed of different aircraft have anything to do with what I asked? especially when you end the sentence bring them up with "then you will complain about lack of trim" . Slow flight is right before stall speed, I was not stalling at 250kph so therefore it is slow flight. I didn't even start by assuming anything was wrong. I ASKED the question better understand why it is acting that way. So lets get to the bottom of it then, are you telling me you are 100% sure all russian jets follow a philosophy of "we do not trim for slow flight speed"? are you a pilot of a mig 15? or are you just responding on this thread to defend it with your "assumptions" of russian aircraft design? I got a question for you then, what is your motivation for replying, you are not answering what I am asking but instead bringing up a whole bunch of stuff only partially related to my question at best. and also attacking my premise by making light of waht I want to do in game. You know what. why not just dont reply any more in this topic. you are doing nothing but getting me agitated and I already got IRL issue with health from stress issues. I asked a question about trim limits, you answered by making fun of me for wanting to fly one way, acting like I didn't know the difference between sabre and mig15, bring up red herring points about completely different era planes not even in same flight attitude and having nothing to do with trim even tho you said it was about trim. then act like like I shouldn't of made that connection. but never once gave a solid other then I assume it so reason for it being the way it is. so it seems you also have no idea if it is correct....

Well I was asking to get an official or at least solid answer. Not a one liner telling me mig is different then sabre, which is not an answer but just comes across as combative and insulting imho(na fam Of course they are both made by GE right?). Then couple more sentences that while less aggressive gave me bad info to make a point, telling me all rus craft cant trim at near .9 mach to nose level when they can, and also telling me I shouldn't fly the way I want to which is also not an answer? so I tested and the su27 and mig29 both can trim nose level at near mach, the mig 29 has a brief moment of getting close, but the mach tuck fixes that as it get closer to mach one and passes it. and aircraft would be expected to be harder to trim for straight and level if you are flying near the mach limit. be above it or below it, not at it. I would test slow flight in those 2 aircraft as well but I have very limited interest currently in flying and learning them. Anyways I was reading more of the manual and it seems that 250-270 is more for final glidescope. so while it works for slow flight in that it fits the criteria for being called slow flight. It might also be considered outside the performance envelope, in which case it makes more sense to not be able to trim for level flight at that speed. Regardless I would still like to hear an official answer because I am interested in it and why the craft was designed that way if it is correct behaviour.

only put it there to compare and contrast not cause I expect the mig to be the same aircraft or modeled identically. I did kinda expect that in general most aircraft would allow you to trim straight and level for slow flight. main question is if MiG-15 is supposed to have such a limited trim range I guess.

Ok lower the fuel to 30 percent and no tanks and now I can maintain level flight trimmed at slow speed of ~270(still cant hit 250 and keep level.) and that again is full trim nose up, should it be so close? to compare and contrast I can get the Sabre to trim in level flight full flaps and wheels down at ~130 kts and have nose up trim to SPARE. so just checking to see if maybe the MiG is supposed to have such a small effective trim?

I find that when I am in slow flight I can not trim the plan enough nose up to keep level without significant back pressure on stick ( Trim is working, I can adjust it fine at faster speeds, and my engine power is up so nothing is turn off because of idle. and I can see the trim level move) It just seems out of its range for slow flight. This was with the smallest drop tanks on. and flying for a few mins. I was flying ~ 250 kph. Is this an issue that crept in or can the mig not trim for slow flight? or does it need to be low fuel before I can trim for slow flight? Will try that next. was full flaps and gear down. Also this is about trim limits.

Really awesome mission! had a quick Q. For SW hospital at freq 39 is it behind a hill or something? I tune to 39 but can not get any signal. ( might make sense if it is in boulder or something?) And any chance we can get a light version where only one mission will trigger at a time? little stressful having all these mission triggering while I am just trying to get to the first hospital :P

Mission 3 of UN campaign has Hind's you have to follow set to fly at 200m "MSL" while over ground. this ends up with them being below altitude in some cases with wild maneuvers to recover. and coincidentally makes the mission a HATEFUL experience ( 30 mins of non stop entry and exit in to VRS and finally fall to far behind and get a mission failed). since your AI is yelling at you to fly close formation with a hind that varies between 40 and 100 kts and 5 ft to 100 ft alt every min of flight constantly sending you in to VRS as you attempt to keep formation. Anyways I guess I can try to enjoy the mission now that I edited it, I hope my edits make it work ( set them all to AGL ).

New Update. Some awesome people have let me copy their work so will have some cooler checklists added!. I have also completed a lot more checklists since last update. We are now over 200 checklists added if I am doing my math right!!! https://listd.k13.app I have a solid amount of checklists for each of the following Aircraft! A-10C AJS-37 AV-8B F-5E-3 F-14 FA-18 M-2000C Mi-8MTV2 MiG-19P MiG-21bis P51D
