  1. oh thats easy, ask the crew who got shot down day 1. you mean his uncle? haha
  2. i get the distinct impression im being a bloody idiot here but im still not getting it lol. how does the weight difference effect the total energy? yeh im a brit, i picked the vulcan because its just a fantastic machine
  3. i misremembered the question. same power different weight. the same applies though doesnt it?? a vulcan bomber has 80k lb of thrust at full chat but has way less than 1:1 p/w an f16 has less than half that power but id bet it would climb vertically MUCH better than the bomber, same physics apply dont they?
  4. the question statres 2 effectively identical ac doing th esame thing. 1 has less power than the other, so surely the 1 with less power loses
  5. how would the same ac with less power have the same vertical performance? surely itd be the same effect as taking 1 ac doing 2 climbs, 1 in ab and 1 in mil power?? im genuinely confused
  6. it would be great if the pilot could drop a flare with 1 button and chaff with another! no idea if its realistic though
  7. 1 why would you unload to 0g in a drag race? 2 will the tanks feed properly at 0g or will it flame out after a few seconds?
  8. so whats the actual bloody answer lol
  9. 1st answer in my head is the lighter 1 because thrust to weight, if its vertical then aoa is out of the equation isnt it? because youd be at 0 aoa?
  10. stick paddel?
  11. is it a mission or a tutorial?
  12. why did the tf30 benefit more from ramair than the ge motors?
  13. given the probably kills scored then id say it wasnt optimistic but realistic
  14. should put that opinion to bed, or at least show everybody capable of listening that its wrong you beat me lol
  15. i can confirm we both had exactly the same issue
  16. who do i have to bribve/sleep with/blackmail to get the lightning bumped up the priority list? i know 1 of the south african lightnings did brakes off to 30k feet in 1 min 42 seconds
  17. is this known about and/or moddelled in dcs?
  18. erm thats not what they said! 1 if theres 24 agressive fighters the awg might have a problem. 2 f theres aggressive fighters around then thats a DIFFERENT problem. if youre gonna try and stir something at least get it right
  19. so does this mean itl behave like an amraam? so we COULD launch it and bugger off, if the bandit is still roughly where predicted then the c will pick it up and home?
  20. oh bury the stick and dump all your energy?
  21. a thought just occured to em. i guess the cadc dealt witht he vanes? if so was the cadc processing done by the same cpu as the avionics/hud etc? if yes could/did they delete the programming for the vanes and reuse the spare capacity for some other goodies? i know they did do that kind of thing but dont know specifics
  22. the vanes were 100% automatic wernt they?
  23. im confused. i thought pd did use the filters, i thought thats what pd meant, pulse with doppler filters applied??
