El Chapo

I had a look at it, thanks. I just removed the 3 files from the zip folder, I hope it won't induce too many issues. At least integrity check is sweet now.

Hi, I keep having this warning regarding intergrity check. I never touched or modified the Su-27 in any ways. I tried a repair with no effect. Once afte ran update it disappeared but then came back quickly. Any idea? Thanks

Hi, Orange RVT VOL light should be on as soon as the RVT switch is on DAY or NIGHT, and not only when fuel is transferring. On the ground, the light is also on when the ground crew make a refuel, which is not the logic with that light. Thanks

That's the SOP Bingo level that's set up when you take the plane. The logic is that it's also the empty tanks fuel. When Bingo is ringing at 2.8T you know that your tanks are empty and that you start using internal fuel. And yes I know that internal fuel is 3.1T, but between 2.8 and 3.1 you can still have fuel in the tanks. In general you BV lights light up at 2.8 and then the fuel gauge is starting to descend continuouseley. Not yet solved...

"Pinky switch" on US sticks is what's the closest from that paddle. I thinks it works quite well. But you have to get rid of the habit of pressing it when switching plane...

Nice to know. I was about to purchase it but cockpit interaction is a must for me in VR. I'm going to five it a try for 2 weeks and I'll see, but coming from the F18 or M2000 I hope it won't be a disappointment...

Thanks you Rudel_chw, you saved my day!!!

Hi there, A remark of secondary importance. When starting-up "dark and cold", there could be some slight improvements easily done to make it perfect: - when battery is put "on", there should be a blink of "T7" and "CALC" lights before they go dark. It's a self test of the engine CALC I believe. - then within a 30" delay CC should light up (around 15" in theory). I've seen the CC light up after what seems to be a random time but far after 60" delay. And when you cut off the battery and put it back on, the CC timer has to run again, while for now the CC light stays on. - TRANSF light should be on when engine is down. - after engine start-up, I've seen that TF and HYDS pressure on the bottom gauge remain stuck at their "engine down" values instead of going up... Thanks

It's true between 500 and 1000'. At 250' or 150' you'll take no clearance.

Yes that's the way it's working IRL. On more modern M2000 you can check actual coordinates on MFD.

Bingo sound is almost always acknowledged instantly because it's annoying. It's the reason why you never hear it long on video. It is obvious that it will go on as long as you don't stop it, otherwise people might forget it. You can even find in student pilots's manual the advice to lower the bingo level before landing to avoid being disturbed by the continuous bingo sound during landing.

Hi, Sorry to come on that again, but Bingo sound is still not working properly. The sound should not only ring once, but should keep on ringing until you either acknowledge it by pressing the amber alarm repeater, or by decreasing your bingo fuel setting. Thanks

Hello, How is your project going on? Thanks

Pilots are taught that a mixed configuration triggers a SNA error, but I have never seen by myself the effect of an unauthorised TAM code on the SNA (navigation and attack system, i.e. plane's computer) since nobody really "plays" with this type of things. TAM code is preset by the ground crew before flight, and the pilot's task is to check that a correct code has been set during the preflight check. Therefore you virtually never see an incorrect TAM code on the plane. For sure some have tried in the early days, but after some times it becomes a truth that nobody tries to challenge anymore... In any case I would suggest to remain on the old model of "no mixed configuration" for realism purpose.

Hi, I would say that it's slightly more complicated than that. There is an official list of "opened" configuration for each aircraft type. In order to allow a given configuration, the aircraft builder has to do some flight tests, and garantee that the aircraft's behavior will be in accordance to what is expected by the customer. Moreover, for each configuration, performance charts have to be determined (take-off distance, maximum cross-wind, climb rate, fuel consumption, etc...). An additional work has to be done to ensure that on release, weapons will not cause harm to the aircraft itself or surrounding ordonance (ex: check that no gun shell link might hit a bomb under fuselage when firing air to ground gun). For this reason, the limited set of available configurations are officially written on the "performance" part of the aircraft manuel, called UCB 110-02. And I believe with a fairly high confidence that no mixed configuration is authorized in the Mirage 2000C's UCB 110-02...

Well, that's when the plan has gone so f****ed up that it's your last option. Otherwise it's carefully planned and no one will tank out if the plan without at least a commanding authority's approval.

Hello, Could we have the BE's coordinate automatically inserted in the briefing page when a BE exists? It would be a great help when it has not been written on the briefing page or inserted on the flight plan. Thanks

Hello, Would it be possible to improve slightly interactions with tankers in order to improve AAR experience? It would be great if we could ask the tanker for a given amount of fuel (e.g. I need 4klbs or I need a top off) before refueling. Indeed, some aircraft have no way to know the amount of fuel they have received (e.g. M2000 once internal fuel is full), and in any case nobody likes giving an eye inside the cockpit while refueling. The tanker could also give us the amount of fuel that has been given once we are ready to leave, so that we know how much fuel is on board precisely. E.g. if I'm refueling on the M2000 but I'm disconnecting before I'm full, I have no way to know my new fuel unless the tanker gives me the fuel. We could make a rough estimate by ourselves if we knew the approximate fuel flow of the tankers. Normal fuel flow is 2klbs/min I believe, but some aircraft accept only 1klbs/min. Asking for the correct fuel flow is sometimes done when refueling on a foreign tanker to avoid damages to the fuel system... Thank you!

True, thanks, too much F-18

Hello, In flight, double tap on the "DIRAV" paddle should result into an AP off (AP "black"). This is not implemented at this time. Moreover, a 4th AP state exists: AP out of use = flashing amber AP light (different from AP off (black) and AP on disconnected (steady amber)). A single tap on the "DIRAV" brings you to this AP state, the second tap on the same paddle brings you to AP off. Thanks

Hi, As a ground pounder and Tacview user, I am a bit frustrated by the fact that buildings are not exported in our favorite debriefing tool, and that their damages are not available. I would love to have a tool to see pre-strike and post-strike buildings state. We could also have a tool equivalent to JMEM (joint munitions effectiveness manual) to help use chose the best weapon depending on desired effects. Eventually, we could also have a tool to prepare target folders (i.e. briefing tool to get more details on target type, DMPIs, collateral damage, etc...) This would greatly improve the game in its air to ground part, now that we have plenty of air to ground weapons to play with! Thanks

I heard that M2000-5 are just a Mirage2000-9 with downgraded softwares... T-Pods might then just be an option for those who have the money for an upgrade.

By the ways, tactics with this kind of weapon should be an attack with a 30° to 45° angle from runway heading with a relatively short interval between bombs to make sure that at least a few of them are reaching the runway. Several aircraft attacking on several parts of the runway are needed to make it inoperable. When attacking parallel to the runway, you have a chance to have all of your salvo falling just next to the runway, thus resulting in few or no damage (wind, aiming error, etc). Same tactics are to be applied by anti-runway cruise missiles.

Speedbrake can also help just before touchdown.

True, you need to climb with AB but it's not a problem since it is the most efficient flight profile... As soon as you have to fly let's say over 120Nm to RTB, climbing with AB to FL450 and flying home at M0. 95 is more fuel efficient than any other profile. And it is sustainable with empty external wing tanks and Magic 2, or with S530 and centerline tank.
