Spurts

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 one with an international guest

"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

What are you waiting for?

I get WHY they have Q-Eyeballs and the other one (Q-Manual? Q-Direct?) because you can't talk Jester on. These are all areas there a Human RIO are superior.

A-1, the Piston Powered Predecessor of the Warthog. Less BRRRRT, more TOS.

don't worry, it's countered by his inability to actually aim at bridges, buildings, or to simply move to next target after a shack. the GEORGE AI for the Apache is the same, really fast at distinguishing targets at long range. When I tried to do a Top Gun: Maverick style mission I had the joy of rolling over the ridge, pointing at the ground, then having to tell Jester to target the thing with his wheel in front of my face.

Not with a SSM, so not with FC3 aircraft, but many other aircraft do have cell resolution modeled. It's not a blanket DCS statement.

Right, wasn't he the one saying you could do all these tricks in the A but once you had the B and D you didn't need them?

same as anyone else's? STT gives a tone change, missile guidance adds another channel/pulse type that is recognized.

The torque tube snaps, not a hydraulic line. It is realistic. And as Despayre points out the inability to bring them up, the inability to sweep, and speeds over 400kts feel like going down a mountain in a wheelbarrow are all clues that it happened. Is this happening during landing or have you watched too many Growling Sidewinder vids and you are trying to use them for dogfighting? In the case of the former, I never drop flaps until I am under 200KIAS. In the case of the later, never try and use full flaps on the Tomcat until you have spent enough time in it to know you almost never need them. level turn under 200KIAS and near max AoA or under 200KIAS and going over the top vertically. I pull them back in as soon as I stop pulling hard or as soon as my nose starts to cross the horizon or as soon as Jester calls a speed above 180.

I was in the back seat, PD-STT, PD Sparrow mode. I was on the targets 10 o'clock or so doing M2 at 50,000ft while they were doing 1.4M at 40,000ft IIRC, so the missiles were a long shot anyway. Oddly the AI default to "break left and dive" no matter what. Apparently the best place to fire on the AI is from 8 o'clock low? lol. But I fired at one bomber at ~52nm and they both broke to evade. This was my same flight where firing a follow up Sparrow trashed my first Sparrow.

@Noctrach"the AI does not respond to the STT launch, only the missile breaching their 10 nmi perimeter." not so sure about that, I recently had two bomber AIs defend immediately on me STTing some Sparrows at 50nm.

Yeah, the moustache is mandatory, sorry. I'm surprised Tomcat boat work and BFM didn't force one out of your face. In all seriousness, @Callsign JoNay has been spot on in his advice.

brrrrrrt!

What's the point of a technical solution if the quality of the result is worse? In the F-14 I can clearly see what is behind me, and that is what the mirrors are for.
