  1. FLIR trackfiles are pretty explicity not MSI trackfiles if you read the sources. You can desigate them to slave other sources to them to create MSI trackfiles. They are not MSI trackfiles onto themselves. It applies just the same to AOT's. 
    They are not, but will automatically become MSI track files if one of the eight slots are open.

  2. What would the practical difference even be here vs pre-briefed using HRM pullup selection. The mechanization is already there to send it at a steerpoint and HRM pullup will let it off at any angle inside of the DLZ. 
    I feel like this may be just switchology and terms being changed at some point, either before or after and ED just used the documentation they could find. 
    Nope, EOM is actually different.

    It is a TOO 'RANGE KNOWN' function.
    LAR is 0 to +/- 135

    Not available in PB. (Correction it seemed it was in 2002, but with a note that it ended with 163XXX, so it was a function on some that was removed later, TOO EOM stayed.)

    This relies on us having TOO range functions first...

  3. If there is documentation to support that it has the function. It doesn't get added just because something else has it. 
    I certainly have it, passive ranging for the -73 and ATLFLIR is known due to data block for each. I'll see about making a report/request here.

  4. Yes this is a bug in that we can’t change the chart type individually from the scale. You can decenter the map to get a larger scale for a lower level chart.

  5. I wonder if this is really the case in the real F18C and what the reasons for this are. Or whether there could be a menu item so that Alt is always displayed on the SA.
     
     
    This is basically one of the biggest disruptive factors in the F18 for me. In the F16, I have an immediate overview of the situation from 30 contacts on the SA page. In the F18 I have to click on everything or step through, hell that's an enormous amount of work and time waste .
    The real Hornet heavily utilizes the AZ/EL and additional MSI properties. You're supposed to be able to just step through the MSI tracks regardless of whether your radar sees them at that moment or not. Additionally, the TDC on the SA should be "magnetized" and snap to any track or point making this whole thing a lot easier.

  6. What does that IFF rejection line mean for the Hornet? As I understand there is no mode/code simulation so rejection wouldn’t be possible anyway.

    Also the EXP slew line needs some more context it seems.

  7. There are a few odd lines in the changes today, but what on Earth does “Wrong IFF code rejection behavior” mean?

     

    As I understand no CIT/IFF modes/codes are modeled for any Eagle Dynamics aircraft, did that just change?9f62001bcf343aa239d20e0868bed295.jpg

  8. 3-position switch should be OK. I don't have one available but I tested by just holding the L or R pushbutton down.
    However, you should remember to set the switch to OFF position when the engines are up and running. Else, the crank switch in the cockpit will stay in the L position forever. This might not do any harm as the cranking is done with bleed air from the APU, and the APU shuts down when the engines are operational; but it certainly doesn't look right.
    Realistically that would shear the PTS as you are keeping the clutch engaged

    agreed. i would of thought this would make sense as an AI asset, or maybe even a Flaming cliffs level aircraft, But a full fidelity? I  dont think ED has access to Dash 1 and Dash 34 documentation for a block 2b.

    They may, there's a possibility there is a real military contract for this like the A-10, and we'll get the redacted version. If they have a manual or two, then there's no reason this would be any less fidelity than the Hornet in it's current state.

    So, will the DCS F-35 be able to switch the radar off and go hunting MIGs?

    Of course, but you don't need to turn off the radar with an AESA, the vast majority of RWRs won't see it.

  11. Yes. But your FPM will not be in the E-bracket anymore during the turn. Try it!
     
    EDIT: Let me rephrase that: your FPM is not perfectly centered in the E-bracket, if that‘s what you did on downwind.
    Yeah I just flew around for a bit and certainly had no problem keeping perfect on-speed AoA (solid donut) until banking past 30 degrees. Sure if you want it perfect give it a single tap nose up, then back down once you roll outside, but it should certainly be well within the E-backet at all times.

    I noticed tonight flying Banklers mission that I was marked down for being fast as I turned from abeam. I was perfectly trimmed for on speed on the downwind, but in the turn, your speed increases and it’s almost impossible to keep on speed and maintain the correct parameters of descent rate, AOB and position. As you roll out on the groove and come back to around 140kts, it’s all good. 
     
    I was wondering if you should trim for on speed around the turn, ( have not tried doing this, but would anticipate it would make it difficult to be correctly trimmed on roll out for the groove, as time would be limited ) rather  than just accept you will not be on speed round the turn. Surely it’s the groove that matters, not the turn to it? 
    Could you post a video with the control indicator enabled?
