Check your AoA when you are stuck at low speed. Had a friend with the same problem in the F-15.

I've found that I can be rock steady and all trimmed up on downwind, have a nice steady base turn, but instantly start ballooning once I get to short final. And as I type this I realize I had to do a fresh install and I might have not unchecked the Burble which IIRC means landing on the SC means I get 2x Burble.

Getting some practice in before a tourney

Thanks. That cleared it right up for me.

Are you saying that IRL the Phoenix goes active at the same range no matter what and the switch tells it which range gate to look at for a return of the target?
-
So the cockpit needed more calibration, and you are just the Turian for the job.
-
Come to think if it, I did and didn't realize it. I did a quick mission and had some issue locating a costal target, had trouble locating the coast. I would have had no issue if the water was glowing. So by it not standing out as a glaring annoyance I presume it must be fixed.

HB has also been public that the Phoenix pallet in the tunnel is included in baseline weight and drag, even when not carried. EDIT* DCS limitation AFAIK, I can't think of any non ED planes where pylons can be removed. If you know of any, let me know.

Once more, with feeling

chat over radios doesn't work in the Harrier? what a bummer I was looking forward to that

Part of the Tomcats MMHPFH issue was financial to be sure. If Congress doesn't buy spares then you can repair jets and they have terrible reliability. Congress tried to kill the Tomcat before it ever entered service. Other part of the issue is being a 60s design. As I heard on one podcast a Mx panel on a Tomcat might have 40-100 screws which the Hornet has three push-to-release latches.

Physics says otherwise

^this. I've done some HEAVY take offs in the B and not hit the water. Only time I needed burner in the B was when I did a 108% MGTOW cat-free launch off the deck (stern to bow) and even that required timing the use of the flaps and holding a precise AoA. and to reply to @IronMike the A model is where I go when I feel the need for speed.
-
counter question, have you ever felt the need for burner on a cat shot?
-
that might be a core adaptation with no update needed on HB side. i.e. if the module queries the core game for the RCS of the target then all that changes is the core game gives different values.
-
Yeah, not much difference between a CWIS and a dude with an AK, both will un-erringly hose you with bullets
-
Honestly most of the new radar updates sound like ED catching up to HB and Razbam, then adding a few new core elements. It will be nice to have everyone on the same playing field for realism.

Here's the thing, in cases like this story the pilot has the speeds right because he can look at those, but he did not have a stopwatch that he timed it with. Think about simply saying the words he used out loud and it's easy to see it as "The plane accelerated (large accurate speed difference) in (a surprisingly short period of time)" The performance was in reality enough to shock him, so much so that he has to make up the time as something unrealistically short just to convey how it felt to him.
