Because the point of having springless pedals is to develop muscle memory for how much pedal you need in a certain flight condition, which you cant if your virtual/physical pedals are out of sync.

This not true, both Mi-8 and Mi-24 have the correct behavior of a CW rotating main rotor (right pedal on collective increase, more left cyclic needed as speed increases.

The problem with springless and yaw-on is that the AP will move your virtual pedals while your physical pedals remain stationary, getting the two out of sync which defeats the purpose IMHO.

I dont use the yaw AP at all. It takes a bit of practice to put in the right amount of pedal on takeoff and when transitioning from forward flight to hover, but once you figure that out you dont need yaw stab for takeoff/landing. The one thing I'm missing though is having yaw stab in cruise, since yaw stab wont engage if your physical pedals are off center (which they mostly are in cruise flight)

IIRC having them on reduces MTOW by 200kg or so. Not sure about how effective they are against IR SAMs

You should only hear this during case III launches (e.g. at night)

The F-14D looks like it has a combined hydraulics failure, its surprising the aux flaps deploy at all in that case

Why are people assuming HB will add ED payware content (i.e. animated deck crew and comms) for free to their boat?

-1 for TARPS, there is really no use for it in DCS and I would rather have HB spend time on more important things

The gps in the picture is a handheld device which could be easiliy attached to the cockpit. The GNS430 we have in DCS is far larger and requires a dedicated shaft somewhere (like a car radio). There is no way you could mount a GNS430 in the F-14 safely without substantial modifications to the cockpit.

Жаль, но спасибо за информацию!

If you stay in the slot and wait for the spawn, there will be no issue. Apparently, changing slots after getting delayed causes the weight bug. The same thing used to happen on the Stennis but HB fixed that.

Are you sure stub pylons aren't included in empty weight? I've never seen an F-14 without them. I'm not 100% sure tbh. The B NATOPS explicitly states that the 43600 empty aircraft weight include the stub pylons while the A NATOPS, citing 42000, does not explicitly say that this weight includes the stub pylons, so I assume it does not include them.

Планируется возможность проверки контуров СТ? Я понимаю, что пульт проверки ЕРД не в кабине экипажа, но хотя бы возможность назначения переключателей "контуры-СТ" на клавиши.

Its not shown in the loadout screen but AFAIK the FM takes them into consideration

Dont forget 500lbs per Phoenix rail and 500lbs (or was it 600lbs) for the stub pylons, plus 100lbs for each missile rail on the stub pylons. Gun ammo is about 400lbs if you are carrying a full load.

Не важно, сколько ждать. Табло ПЗУ загорается только после запуска двигателя

Its definitely a D, you can see by the NACES ejection seat (doesnt have the face blind handles like the GRU-7)

I managed to get hits on extrapolated tracks several times, although it is rare since the target is unlikely to be where the lost track predicts it to be. What is currently broken is that TTI wont flash on a lost track but the go-active signal is still sent automatically.

IMHO the dust isnt too bad in VR its just that the effect is strange in general. From high up it seems there is no dust at all while below a certain altitude you suddenly become surrounded by yellow fog. It does get the job of reducing visibility down low done though (at least for mkI eyeballs). So if this is a tactical constraint you want I would enable dust.

Another patch without 3rd party fixes. I understand that ED prioritizes their stuff but it would be nice if 3rd party devs would also get a chance to hotfix some bugs...

Crossbleed starts were required due to the limited amount of airstart units on deck. Once the first engine was running, the huffer could be used to start another aircraft. Jet blast wasnt an issue since Tomcats were mostly spotted on the edge of the deck for startup.

Its not just possible but was standard practice aboart aircraft carriers to start the second engine using bleed air from the running engine. Make sure to move the throttle of the running engine though, IIRC there is a switch that inhibits crossbleed starts when the throttle lever is at the idle stop.

Tacan radial/bearing indication is independent from any heading reference, so you should be able to fly correct radials regardless of any magvar induced errors. In DCS however, your AHRS heading will wrongly influence Tacan data, I hope HB will fix this someday. In the meantime, put the AHRS in DG mode and manually adjust your heading to a known value (on the boat it will be ships heading plus or minus 90, depending on which side of the boat you are parked).
