thanks, but its not me who invented it

this one does not have stability augmentation system. A trim and a shitload of fine cyclic movements and a truckload of practice along with a well lubed stick in case of tmwh is your way to go. Might always help to trim cyclic forward just a nudge and hold back with a little pressure on cyclic stick. Its dynamicity is what makes it stand out from the ka-50

a simple flight from Beslan to Batumi heading between 230° and 270° resulted in my crashing right at the very edge of runway in Batumi while entering pattern on fumes, the fuel gauge was zero. The fuel tank was 100% loaded and cruise altitude was below 15,000 feet. Is it short ranged?

like shooting engines only to disable them to glide? or do they crumble from stray bullets?

based on cells?

for wall spacers they are indeed short the stock ones, what I found was a piece of wood 20 mm thick and 20 cm wide so I shoved it and it holds the rudder evenly. You can velcro strap yourself to L clamps on the desk if its heavy enough. The real pain is having to replace them with continuous on and off. Or you can sow a buckle on one end and the buckle catch on the L clamp. Both sides of your chair. Lastly, you can tie the rudder block to a cardboard and affix that to your seat wheel hubs, then mount the rollers or you can use rollers with push stops to affix the chair.

thanks Frederf

swinging around.. which one is the bank, which is the slip?

Is it ok to use the cockpit baffles as guide to staying on centerline or thereof? I mean the runway visible parts on your right and left, being in peripheral vision, is it normal practice? Can I open the side door?

If you want to locate SAM sites with reasonable precision, you need two lines crossing their position. This can be accomplished via offset markpoint function. Basicurry, you fly beaming source on your 3-9 line. create an offset markpoint along that line for say 100 nautical. Then you fly a perpendicular course to the first course you flew in, also beaming the threat, and again, create a markpoint on that bearing extending 100 nautical. Then you have two lines intersecting on TAD. The SAM source should be reasonably accurate in location. The third one you create at the intersection, set as SPI, and scan with SOI. Its reverse pinging like having a sub tracking a ship by sonar twice. First ping marks X, second ping marks Y. Once located, you can either task your wingman to attack it, or do the honors yourself. I send my AI no good wingman after them, as they shoot him, so I can also quickly visually locate them even quicker. He either fires from a good distance, or gets schwhacked.

Its very frightening that 360° for a F-15 on his tail. I'd be scared.

Wheel Brake Start and yes its Shift+W

let me join you in saying I never loved FC until the PFM updates to these modules. I just wish they could move it forward cockpit wise. Hifi!

I knew it

Chuck Gross and Robert Mason books, beg to differ. In Masons book, he flew into soup relying on instruments, because his leader disappeared into clouds after deciding against radar vectoring. This caused him to climb in bad weather, cotton windscreen, surrounded by hazardous Vietnamese terrain about 4,000 ft until he could see stars at night, and he did like IFR but not its requirement in chopper school.

safer cobra?

thats pugachev cobra. bind your asc off S to your hotas, hold stick back at 400 knots or less, then hit it.

I will take the one by the wires thank you very much...

Trust me, I tried to find the Russian equivalent. Besides, Bill et John also played it in a F-15, many, many moons ago.. :music_whistling: Its very rewarding after so many bolters, and each time now it feels you'll either snag one of the thongs or enter the drink.. Lets thing a thong :megalol:

Let alone using the mouse and so on in real life...

Its ok just please make more effort to introduce the product better. Its a good product, again.

my query is not about the quality of the module but rather the quality of the manual to serve as reference and reading material supplementing the module. Some people jump into the tutorial and some others use resources they have or find online or published. Others consider the manual as the go to guy in case they want to start in a cold cockpit with dark switches, learn it on their own and not click highlightable elements. To somehow, placebo-like, learn the real airplane theyre in. I am one of the last people. Yes the module is great coming from a long standing A-10 background (2011) but its just the basics I am asking for. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I read the manual, and there are A LOT of missing diagrams and pictures. Not really impressed. How did this pass ED? I mean look at Mig-21 manual, from day one you can tell everything down to the last detail. Also, the pictures for HUD with all its different indications is black and white, not really helpful to newcomers like me. Before you shove Chucks guide, yes I read it, but would rather the original manual be complete if you dont mind. Lots of info needs illustrations: 1- BK-90 employment with the variants 1,2,mix, detailing every difference, how to interact, the footprint, aiming offset with windage, release velocity, fuze timing, appropriate target sets for selected type, Z-sleds for bomblets. 2- Steering the flare missile, how powerful is it, what to use it against, aiming instructions. 3- HUD modes, especially AIM-9 equivalent, whats the difference between the three missiles. 4- AFK employment speed and entry parameters, interaction with alpha. 5- Alpha mode, its uses during combat, what it does to control surfaces, how does this improve or degrade performance in relation to the 37 design. 6- Detailed weapons employment chapter based on the venerable A-10C manual (the six hundred plus page manual) 7- Landing gear, airbrake, and trimming system limits. 8- Central Kalkyllator chapter with full code listing and applications. Please do not flood me with "read Chucks guide" or "watch Bunyap/Fish/xxxJohnxxx/Revientor tutorials". This is about the manual being incomplete. Even the cockpit diagram is black and white and looks cropped out of a manual. There must be standards to this type of product. :noexpression:
