I like your KBs because I can read the bold font and the info much better than others I've seen....my eyes are not what they used to be...no rush, just curious

Fitness, are you doing one for PG map?

with a zero added, of course :)

just got 1:40 :) Edit: Oooops, damn, no I didn't ...hit the end mission button too soon, there was one gate left on the runway...false alarm

It's Instant Action towards the bottom of the list...it's one of the new ones from the last update...look for "Valley Run"

Yep, like a day at the drag races...make sure to put you battery in the trunk and ice down your intake between runs...hehe oh, and remove anything that's heavy...front passenger seat, rear bench seat....carpet, etc

Need a separate link, can't view it

ok just completed third run in a row and all were 1:44... is that the lowest that it can be done? If you got a track that's lower, post it...would like to see if 1:44 is the limit no matter how well you fly it

WOW, yeah I tired AB all the way but kept missing the hard right bend at about the 3/4 mark by the river....gonna have to try with airbrake

1:56 minutes...good test of stick response

Thanks...and that is a very cool pic

How is that 60 degrees represented? When you say it's a 60 deg gimbal, Is that 60 deg from center upward and downward making it a 120 deg arc, or is it 30 deg up and 30 down making the total arc 60 deg?

Don't you risk losing lock when you pitch up?

Yes, that's what I was referring to in "info from platform" otherwise what's the point of locking if the missile never gets info, you're just alerting the aircraft you're targeting

Only if you uncage it, right? Otherwise, it's getting info from the launching platform...what I thought anyway

Interesting..but can you not also lock the target in STT with, let's say, Boresight, like you can with the 9M and therefore you would have both radar lock and "heat source" lock at the same time?

HAH, see? Now we're talking....:thumbup:

thanks

Seriously?? E_M let's not go down that path again...you get me to think it's a bug, I pull the fire alarm, and you have a fun time laughing when it's discovered it's something simple...unless you're being serious

Yeah, I have CH Pro pedals...but no worries...I'll simply make it a habit to press/release pedals to reset them at zero when I start any mission...thanks for input

I have noticed it was faster, but I expected it to use higher AoA to find a TGT....also, have you noticed a continuous beeping sound after you've engaged and fired missiles? It continues even after all bandits are splashed....Is it coming from friendly based AA or SAMs? Didn't see anything on the EW

I will

Yeah, I noticed this as well...going to ACM rather than staying in RWS...Perhaps things will change when we get TWS (Track While Scan)...but I agree, doesn't make sense that you choose a medium range weapon and you immediately go to short range radar...I can see this for the heaters and it does in fact go to short range suite when you select Sidewinders, but...

has anyone noticed different behavior of the 9X compared to the 9M? Or do we need the helmet to really see the benefits?

Yeah, maybe...where are they located?
