Was that HOJ? Coxy looks cold well before impact.

Because the production line for single seat Eagles has been shut down for decades and no longer exists. Same reason the new Eagle has to have the heavier airframe and strike CFTs, those are what is in production. Lastly, the F-15EX only exists because Saudi paid for the development of the F-15SA. The EX is Is just an American SA with EPAWSS.

Deck launched intercept profile for the F-14A. How to get Phoenix up high and fast for the least amount of fuel. https://youtu.be/tU_U6yRdU74

The F-16 is so light and slick that any additional weight and drag has a larger impact. A hornet is 20% heavier and a tomcat is >100% heavier. It's like if a travel trailer is rated to use 1 gallon to cover 100 miles. If you are pulling that with a Prius that gets 50mpg (2gal/100mi) then you see a HUGE impact on range as you increased your drag load by 50%. You hook that up behind an old pickup truck getting 10mpg (10gal/100mi) then you will barely notice any decrease in range.

I recall a statement from ED years ago that a -1 is 5% of what they need to make a module. That -1 has been around for ages.

So I did my 150nm intercept deck launch with an F-14A dragging 6xAIM-45C-60. My previous climb profile (accel at 30k) will not work (1.23M peak after a long run), so I had to gain altitude (to 44k @.99M) and then dive (to 33k @1.4M). I was able to hold 1.4+M up to 46k where I fired. On to the missile. Target was Tu-22 head on at 40k @ 1.86M. Range was 66nm (I forgot to equip the Phoenix to shoot any sooner. Max pitch of 35deg 10s after launch. At motor burn out pitch was down to 22deg. 68k@3.88M with a slant range to target of 52nm. Appogee at 80k @ 3.37M with 35nm slant range. At 10nm slant range it was 24deg nose down diving from 57k @ 3.07M. Impact 14s later still doing 2.75M (target did not evade). I pulled power and dove but did not crank, I was 22nm from target at impact at 37k and 1.31M. No complaints on this easy test. 3.0M+ average speed and 2.75M terminal.

The F-14 is not the F/A-18. The Hornet will protect itself where the Tomcat does only what it is told.

Above the certain speed at which the AP no longer functions?

Check all the axis bindings to make sure there aren't duplicates? I don't have this issue so I don't think it's the module.

350KIAS up to .75M, then .75M to 30k.

Do subsonic climb to 30k, then accelerate to 1.4M, then hold ~550KIAS as best you can as you climb. With 6 Sparrows this will get up to 2M+ and 50k+, with 4 Phoenix you may top out at 1.6M and 42k. If you can get to 50K at/above 1.4M then do it.

Water temperature for large bodies of is largely related to night-time temperature. Why is it then that Oceans in DCS look like they are made of lava? Nighttime Caucasus/South America flights the ocean is white in WHOT.

when you are landing it takes very little pull to get the nose up for braking initially. As you slow down and lift decreases you get more weight on wheels causing the nose down forces to increase while also decreasing the effectiveness of the horizontal tail in holding the nose up. These two effects cause an increase in pull needed to hold the nose up and get stronger as you slow more and more.

It depends. It coasts the trackfile for a short time and if the target reappears within a certain distance of the coasted trackfile then the track is transferred.

Second point, Center of mass is in front of the landing gear so any weight on wheels is going to pull the nose down.

possibly related to how TGP sees nothing (solid green) beyond 45nm?

"The other sim" had clickable 2-D cockpit views, but "the other sim" was way ahead of its time.

But fighting with strangers over things that don't matter is what the internet does best!

Ask teh Grim Reapers how they did it in one of their videos.

Your position and heading would be stored, so that should be correct.

https://youtu.be/Qc0zbozDXbM A bit of a long one, but it covers 1vmany tactics, energy maneuvering tactics, nose position tactics, and when to do stupid things in the Tomcat.

full fat radios work, but make sure you are binding the HOTAS action and not the RADIO/UFC action

simple comms? Took me a while to get the radios to work right in the Harrier and it was because I had the wrong thing bound
