RPM equals compression ratio equals power. There are ways to change power output without significantly changing rpm but for the scope of this discussion I can assure you that power, rpm and fuel flow are closely linked. Yes it does. You do realize that jet engines combust continously? There is is no fresh air entering the turbine, its hot combustion gases all the time. I described how turbine cooling works but I assume you don't care to read/understand. That statement above is just pure nonsense. There are no inlet doors, they are called inlet ramps. They have nothing to do with temperature protection but with slowing the inlet air to subsonic speeds. Burner does create a lot of heat but this is not the main problem as I explained. No you are not and a lot of what you posted suggests that you have little understanding about how a jet engine works, which is OK, I just don't understand why you feel the need to spread those misconceptions on the forums.

Why don't you post the whole story? https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=4180326&postcount=54

Yea right? How hard can it be to come up with some formulas modelling hook/cable interaction, finetune/ test with SMEs for dozens or hunderds of hours, while working on the forrestal, A model, TWS Auto, Jester LANTIRN etc etc... Hook skip apparently has a low priority for HB atm, which is fine IMO. Having a hook skip model won't make the carrier landing experience much better, properly flying the pattern and ball will. And for those who claim, its "too easy" to land the F-14 on the boat right now: Why don't you grab Bankler's case I recovery trainer and see how many points you get. I would love to see more realism in that area, but the impact of a proper hook skip model on the overall experience is getting blown out of proportion here.

There are a lot of misconeception in this post so I will try clear things up Jet engines are cooled by various systems. The bearings e.g. are cooled by oil. The engine nacelle is cooled by air circulating around it. The most critical part however is the high pressure turbine, as it sits directly behind the combustion chamber. The HP turbine blades are usually cooled with compressor bleed air circulating inside small channels inside the turbine blades. Additionally, bleed air is expelled through small holes in the blades directly onto the blades' surface (so called film cooling), although I'm not sure which of these cooling techniques the F110 actaully uses. Increasing fuel supply increases turbine inlet temperature (TIT) and does not help cooling the turbine blades at all. Setting throttles to idle is the only way to reduce TIT and thus turbine temperature. This is also reflected in the engine overheat emergency procedures. The air (or rather combustion gases, which are very hot) around the turbine blades are heating them up regardless of RPM. Again, the most important factor is TIT. All of this however has nothing to do with the engines staying well above idle at supersonic speeds, since the turbine blade cooling system provides enough cooling at any RPM. If this was not the case, the manual would prescribe a maximum amount of time the engines can be used at MIL/MAX power, as was the case in older engines, where cooling at high power settings was insufficient and turbine overheat damage possible (see the Huey). It actually is. The physics behind this are quite complex and I am also not sure how exactly the F110 would become unstable in such a situation. But basically, engine compressor stability margin (i.e. how much random inlet velocity/pressure fluctuations the compressor can handle without stalling) is reduced at supersonic speeds compared to ground idle due to inlet disturbances and compressibility effects. Increasing engine RPM increases that stability margin and greatly reduces the probability of an engine stall. This feature is called "idle lockup protection" and is used in some form on every supersonic aircraft.

Carrier ATC/LSO instructions are identical for both aircraft

Not having the supercarrier won't prevent you from joining any servers. You can still join, but you will not be able to land on a supercarrier if there is one on the server.

Well the AI is already doing some sort of Case I approach, they just don't report anything.

18000ft MSL in the US

The new carrier atc is specific to US fixed wing carrier procedures. While it should be technically possible, it would not be realistic to have them on the Tarawa or the Kuznetsov, which use different procedures.

Those "proper games" have a different business model and a lot better paying user to software complexity ratio then DCS. I'm also not a big fan of their decision to bundle the kuznetsov with the SC, but then again, they do need to get their return on investment. If they don't, DCS is gonna die sooner or later. Why don't you fire up "good Old Il-2" and compare its graphics, physics and system depth to even the TF-51? The mindblowing difference does not only come from better hardware but from A LOT MORE WORK put into flightsims today than 15 years ago. Like it or not, without EA we would be playing Lock-on level aircraft or War Thunder. Some people apparently have no idea how complex and time consuming the development of a DCS level aircraft is and while I see how EA is starting to annoy people, it will be worth it in the end IMO. But perhaps I'm wrong, looking at all the other high fidelity flight sims around like fighters ops, seveng f-18 and likewise...

You already get the "basic"kuznetsov for free. If you want something better, it's only fair to pay for it. I'm sure ED put a lot of work into the new Kuznetsov, even if it's "only" a visual model. Don't you think they deserve more then a thank you on the public forums for that? Giving new things away for free isn't a good idea in the long run either. I do think that it should be bundled with the Su-33 rather than the supercarriers though. It really makes no sense for anyone else to have it IMO.

Not true People wanting to get paid for their work, outrageous right?

You wouldn't use airfield pressure (i.e QFE) in Nellis, the russians use QFE. Use QNH in Nellis, which rarely goes below 28inHg

Why would the devs elaborate on the potential difficulties of some non existent feature/wishlist item? Would you not rather have them spend their time working on DCS? I also don't get where people got the idea of aircraft spawning in the hangar and being towed onto the elevators. Detailed hangar deck and working elevators means just that, a good visual represntation but nothing more. Or do you think they didn't care to mention working pushback and plane spotting.

What is exactly is so unclear about the upcoming supercarrier? ED has provided detailed feature list. Is spawning in the hangar and being towed onto the elevator on that list, no? Then it probably won't be a feature. Same thing goes for all the other "unanswered questions" on this subforum like will it steer automatically into the wind. If it's not on the feature list ED provided, then it won't be in, it's that simple I think

The Mi-8 is a difficult aircraft to handle IRL and DCS replicates this well, perhaps more training and better sim equipment will help you more than putting your own uneducated YT based opinion above that of real engineers and pilots who created this wonderful piece of software.

That wasn't a workaround but a bug. Engine RPM should not fall below 80% at speeds above M1.1 and engines in PRI. This ensures engine stability at supersonic speeds.

What do you mean by that? The possibility of missing the wires and going around is already there with the Stennis and Kuznetsov. If you mean hook skip (i.e. not catching a wire although you land in the proper zone on the carrier), that is aircraft specific AFAIK (the hornet has it, the tomcat not yet).

Still very helpful to cross-check compass readings on the ground. Please add

Unfortunately not. Weigth and Balance is a seperate document (actually even unique to a specific aircraft). A few CG numbers for common weapon configurations would be very helpful already.

I would love to get some info on that. Is there any weight and balance table/handbook available somewhere?

Aerodynamic forces don't drive any flight control surfaces on a hydraulically controlled aircraft like the F-14. Thats the whole point of having hydraulics. If the horizontal stabs are being straightened out by airflow you have a serious issue with your flight controls.

It is in DCS, or do they model the difference in cooling between an A and a sealed C? Btw. A C-phoenix does not necessarily has its own cooling. There were different subvariants of the C (IIRC C, C+, ECCM, the latter two probably identical?) and the "normal" C also needs external cooling. But again, I don't think that difference is modelled in DCS or is it?

Forward AWG+PH cool, middle off, rear AWG cool only

The radar alt antenna is actually in the nose.
