  1. You can not get the rearming window in flight. The weight calculation just needs few parameters to know and there are many calculators available in digitalcombatsimulator.com user files in excel that simplify this task.
  2. well I was determined to buy it on this sale but now, meh...
  3. because the AN/APG-68 radar is still classified.
  4. maybe use tacview and possibly create your own template?
  5. please keep in mind that the Sabers radar is a range finding device not a full fledged AN/APG-68 pulse doppler radar. It is meant to simplify gun solutions in a rear aspect engagement, not get target distance in BVR or WVR >4 nm engagements. Meaning, its not for missiles but for a tracking gun solution bouncing off the maneuvering carcass pulling Gs ahead of you.
  6. you can drone yourself with any aircraft in DCS as long as it has a targeting pod and mavericks for hellfires. I specifically want the Apache helicopter in DCS.
  7. please make sure to tune the missions to the current flight model limitations, observing EGT limits, etc... looking forward to it.
  8. The flaps extension caused excessive pitching nose down moments that the plane felt like its dropping like a brick and not transitioning when half was extended, full or zero to full. ED corrected that behaviour.
  9. Is it coincidental that the runway heading and thus the airport chosen for this campaign has something to do with the fact that its an Albatross model 39?
  10. So you want to rationalise the fuel usage on external tanks by prioritising certain tanks to be fed from over others?
  11. I think left handed roll ins were not used with this. My idea is that they inverted and as soon as target touched 70-80 lines meeting on top of their heads where the lines supposedly continue, they pulled back inverted and focused more on the dash because they know they were established 90° or so to the target underneath. The trick was how they performed SEM given the sabres notorious diving behaviour.
  12. youre thinking wrong. its a practice thing. On speed AoA at the middle tick is variable and depends on your configuration and weight. If you want however to nail the middle of the E, you trim for the E first then cut power and continue trimming. At least that is how I understand it.
  13. SOP when you first enter a new aircraft is to press CTRL ENTER and depress your brakes, move your controls and pause to continue mapping or invert axes.
  14. I'll average responses and set accordingly, thanks.
  15. just dont go nuts against hornets or eagles
  16. Without undergoing structural. I'm considering it for being a SEAD decoy. Dont get carried away just yet.
  17. Its kind of stupid that radars are used to lock targets for a heatseeker missile coming from SAM. Take the SA-8 for example, no need to lock a target and announce your presence to their RWR. It could be that radar needs info on target range, bearing, speed, aspect angle etc.. but for most IR SAMs in this game, a simple track and shoot with optical sensors is much more deviant and closer to real life (not a real life serviceman, whistling dixie). If you saw the Saudi F-15 shot at by a SAM, the pilot did not release flares as he did not know he was painted by a radar, and we know what was tracking him, a FLIR scoop.
  18. I have my X and Y set as 30/100/30/0 top to bottom per A-10s stock TDC. I find this to be particularly slow for changing settings on the radar screen as per the new 0.8 sec touch around the peripheral settings like azimuth, range, SIL, etc... Can anyone recommend something faster yet retains precision when inside the radar zone? Settings wise?
  19. As one of my close friends passed away due to cancer I have my sympathy and support to Cap. Donation inbound. Hang in there brother!
