In your story nobody says how much Gs were pulled. I prefer to listen to the direct voice of US Navy F14 pilots:

I want realism and it's not realistic the flaps become jammed at 240 knots during a levelled flight and without turning. You guys, in the name of the realism, forgot what real pilots were able to do in real life.

Please, i know you are in touch with them, ask to Paco Chierici and to Snort which was speed and g force they were able to pull without jamming flaps. The chart limit is only on the chart just like g limit: f14 does not breaks at 8 G and does not breaks also at 12.5 G, his frame is rated for 13 G even if the limit on the chart is 7.5 g. Please look at this video and look at the full flaps at 5:22

But in real life real pilot do it without jamming, and nothing is more realistic then real life. The jamming limit is much higher then the fixed limit, at least 280 knots listening to Grumman engineers

Hi IronMike, now flap jamming happens with 100 knots less of speed: at 230/240 knots. Listening to Snodgrass he was able to use full flaps at 325 knots, without any jamming because he gunned his opponenet for 42 seconds. Was it what you intended to do? Thanks Please look at this video

I suggest you to skip 3080 because for VR 10gb ram are few. And i also suggest you to consider AMD 6800XT or 6900XT with 16 gb memory who promise to perform better then 3080TI.

This is really interesting, the new ryzen is expected to be really good in single thread games like dcs. Keep us updated :thumbup:

Hi Flighter, i just took a look at my personal stats today and i've seen one kill with a SpitfireLFMkIX: it's weird because i have never used this plane in multiplayer. Another weird thing was yesterday (or perhaps the day before) in air missiles and guns when all the players (five or six or more) died all together in the same moment killed by unknown :) everybody lol :lol:

It's enough to wait till 5th of november and i'm sure that new AMD 5000 cpus will crush intel's ones.

Thanks Flighter, those are really good news and i'm already carry on fighting because i like it too much and the score is not so important :) The most important thing is enjoy with fair play :)

AMD 5600X will score 3500 at passmark for 299$ while 10900k score 3180 for 550 $. https://wccftech.com/amd-zen-3-ryzen...u-in-passmark/

I suggest you to wait a couple of weeks and buy an AMD 5800X: Dcs is a single core game and the new ryzen will be the fastest single core and multicore cpu.

I would really like what you wrote to be sincere. Unfortunately, however, I am very afraid that this is not the case because you have also written "Here same lua for all then same software and tool". Nobody and I repeat nobody has ever seemed to me that he used cheats on lua, software or tool. I think it's also time for Flighter to clarify the kind of reasons and "cheats" that led him to make this decision. I spent hundreds of hours playing honestly on justdogfight because il like and enjoy it very much and there are beautiful people and like me many others, so I think greater clarity is useful for everyone

Thrust you are a very unfair player: in missiles area turn rate does not matter but you usually respawn every time someone kill you, so who kill you will not have the score, and you know very well that this is against the rules. I also remember very well a 1vs1 only guns between you and another player, you were losing so you made a fox 2 and then you disconnected. You never made a dogfight vs me because you are too much afraid to lose and my tomcat turn rate is absolutely the same of all the others tomcats, you are a lier. Ask to the ones who use F14 like Pogo, Vandal, ssun_god, ZIP and so on, we had many dogfights and they know me very well. You have only to shut up your mouth.

Add also people like Thrust and Polo Marco: all the times they are losing, they return to spectator or respawn, the result is you'll not have the win score and they don't have the loss in their statistics. I think Flighter can see in the server statistics that those nice guys score many wins and very few losses, often with a ratio of 20:1 or more.

Do you know if Sung Ho also plays in justdogfight with the nick name ssun_god?

Thx Carlos :)

Just a question to understand how the rule was applied: i've seen several Over Gs just like this one: Hornet limit is 7.5+0.5= 8G and W Ace pulled till 8.3G. Was this tollerated? The rule is *G Limits for all aircraft are being imposed this year to remove or greatly reduce the opportunity people have to exploit. If a pilot is found to have gone over the G limit for their aircraft a round loss will be issued for that round for that pilot. G Limits for specific aircraft are as follows. If you do not see the aircraft you are flying assume that there is no G Limit.

Even if i don't agree with the over G rule, i must say well done and that i would have liked to participate. I hope to have the necessary time for the next one.

Foolish is your example: the mistake that Snodgrass made with an F86 after 6 years he was retired means nothing. Not to forgot he landed on a carrier night and day, during storms with the deck going up and down 30 plus feet. The point is this: And i also must say that the real pilots, who never flown an F14, that are writing here are not in the condition to say different things from what real F14 pilots said. I'm referring not only to Snograss but also to Okie, Chierici, Satrapa and there are many others for sure.

This is realism, "smoked cigarettes", just like over G and full flaps, were real. There was no black box to see if the pilot made over G. So, if you want realism in a fight against F14, you must accept all this. F14, unfortunately, was dismissed 15 years ago, and almost all the F14 were destroyed to avoid iranian can have spare parts. I don't want to judge what was wrong and what was right but that was and a tournament with F14 in 2020 is totally unrealistic. What the simulation could bring us, for example, is a 1990 F14 vs a 2020 F16 and so on. But the 1990 F14 with a pilot like, Snodgrass or Satrapa or Chierici or Okie or many others, means over G and full flaps.

I have found others real life example about F14 about the fact that g-limit very often was not respected and full flaps were used: Full flaps in a real life video, it's not DCS :D Paco Chierici https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/27889/confessions-of-a-navy-f-14-fleet-pilot-turned-f-5-aggressor The A-model was also underpowered for maneuvering fights with an approximately 0.67:1 thrust to weight ratio. Furthermore, we had a 6.5 G limit, though there was no black box that would tell on you, so we often went well beyond 7 G. While it had massive elevators that would develop an incredible instantaneous pitch rate, the lack of ailerons and the sheer width of the plane made the roll rate sluggish. F-15s liked to drag the Tomcat high and use their superior thrust to gain an advantage. An off-the-books tactic we used to counter this was to manually extend the wings to the fullest, then incrementally lower the flaps beyond the normal maneuver setting. It was hugely successful, but the danger was that the flap torque tubes were not designed for this and could become stuck. Life is all about tradeoffs, and not losing to an F-15 is certainly worth the ire of the maintenance Master Chief.

Yes, Snodgrass did it in another fight: Navy F14B vs F15C very skilled pilot, with both contenders who fought till they have only emergency fuel at 500 ft instead then 5000 ft. But that was another story because of the competition between Navy and Aviation. And i think in this case he had the permission to do everything to win, and i also think the F15c pilot had the same permission too. I''l give you some help, in this video he say about damages in a "knife fights"

The assumption is logical: if Snodgass can made a big and expensive damage to an aircraft of 30 millions dollars in1990, only to win roast beef and cocktails for free, it would means there was something wrong in the Navy. So i'm totally sure he didn't any damage, otherwise he would be punished.
