You can't sweep the wings forward of the CADC computed minimum safe value in manual wing sweep mode No I also don't see much of a point to use the emergency lever unless normal wing sweep fails (which almost never happens in DCS even with battle damage). The only situation where undesweeping below the CADC schedule might be useful is in very high altitude engagements where IAS is low and Mach is high and you need some extra lift. But then again, you get a lot of drag so in the end it might not be a good idea.

Not strange at all. You would want to be able to cutoff the wing tanks from the rest of the system if you get holes in your wings.

That would be awesome, along with the other missing pre-flight checks (emergency gen, stick switch)

+1 really annoying when you "overscroll" from oversweep to fully forward while parking the jet.

While I like the new sounds (radar alt, jester noise etc.), all of them seems way too loud compared to everything else. You can turn them down with the cockpit sounds settings, but then you can barely hear AI radio comms. At least the Jester noise tone volume should change with the intercom volume rotary.

Don't want to be a smartass but wouldn't implementing the indexer thumbwheel solve that problem?

IIRC one of the devs mentioned that not activating the awg-9/PH cooling system will have consequences.

Ye and give it some AMRAAMs and JDAMs while ur at it. Maybe get rid of the backseater? And screw that wingsweep, nobody needs to go above M1 anyway right? Oh wait, we have that already... You're in the wrong camp mate

LOL :megalol:

Lights and instruments look great (again), thanks guys!

Maybe a result of the recent adjustment to flaps pitch moment? I doubt they changed any CG values since none of that whas mentioned in the changelogs.

I never tried it but this mod should have a working IFLOLS trailer.

Indeed, as you pointed out. I guess this one of the lower priority items on HBs to-do list but will be fixed eventually.

It should show either PILOT or MCO depending on the eject command lever in the RIO pit.

I think you are talking about ICLS, which works more or less correctly atm. The other precision approach system, ACLS, is broken right now.

I've had this too on several occasions. Couldn't reproduce it consistently though.

Based on my approach config experiments, it should be about 8000lbs overweight. I havent tried on the old stennis. Will try as soon as I can.

Yes because normal jettison (i.e. from the backseat) only works with master arm on.

Worked for me today. Is your master arm on?

He can look in the direction of the DL contact and try to get a hard lock (which may be somewhat unrealistic as there are no radar steering cues for a DL target). Thats what he was always able to do or at least try and fail. Now, he won't even try saying "can't do that". Hmm gotta try again.

Install SC via the module manager and it will work.

From the NATOPS "Although the engines cannot be started simultaneously, either engine can be started first." The plane will be chocked or tied down on startup anyway, so it won't start rolling. Additionally, there is a brake pressure accumulator which provides braking capability without COMB hydraulic pressure.

I've noticed that after the recent patch, Jester will not lock up datalink contacts as he used to before. Is this intentional? It was very handy to be able to STT targets based solely on DL before.

AUTO is the autothrottle mode, where the throttles are moved automatically to maintain 15 AoA, recommended to use with ACLS. BOOST is the normal manual operating mode. In this mode, throttle movements are detected by a position senser which then commands an electric motor to set the power lever shaft (which in turn commands engine power) to the desired position. MAN mode is a backup mode where the power lever shaft is directly controlled via push-pull cables attached to the throttle levers. In the real AC, this mode will cause mechanical hysteresis effects (meaning that moving the throttles from position A to position B and then back to A will not results in the same power setting at position A as before). I don't know if this is modelled though.

Thats true but we don't know if ED doesn't use the airspeed somehow for their LSO. I'm not getting waveoffs even if I'm full slow for a few seconds, so there must be something to the OPs issue.
