Lol ok theres instantaneous G and sustained G. Instant is when you snap the plane into a manoeuvre by a big hamfisted jank on the stick. The blood in the pilots head is not given time to deain, so the 12Gs will destroy the plane before blacking out the pilot. Sustained is where you are long enough at 8,5 G for the blood to drain from the head and he starts to black out. The plane can take it, even if the maintenance people will be quite cross with you. As for the wingsweep; with the wings back you are usually going pretty darn fast. With the wings forward you are usually more at A-10 like speeds. G is a function of speed and turn rate. So at slow speed you can yank on it untill it stalls, spins and kills you because it qill reach the AoA limits way before the G limit. At high speed far less AoA is needed to put on a ton of G. @larkis, omg that is so hilariously wrong i cant even begin. Go read wikis on basic aerodynamics.

very nice!

I selected the waypoint (sierra) then told two to navigate to stearpoint. Selected Whiskey and did same for element. That worked. After a while they reported in and the scenario continued.

Amen brother, amen. Like all the others, when I'm testing or fiddling with new things I do air- or runway starts. When I'm doing "real flying" the cold start is an indispensible bit of foreplay :music_whistling:

I love that ED rather do things right than fast.

Theres a volume control for it in the cockpit. SME said it should screech your soul out of your skull, so it screeches your soul out of your skull. Be happy.

Ooh it showed in the patch notes, giving it another shot tonight :D shortly after takeoff I got a prompt to press space to do the inflight brief. That did not happen before. The entire mission script worked as advertized, though both two and three managed to crash into the mountains during the long overwatch. The lack of banter on the way home must have had something to do with that ;-) Anyway, I made it! on to M14 :D

Looking good there! I can't wait for wednesdays' update and see this beast become a temperamental steed that has to be handled with care.

Yup, she's a beaut. Well done man! Only one niggle: the untextured antenna you see when looking o er your right shoulder.

I'll give it another go then once I've seen it pop on by in the changelog, and I'll fly the flightplan exactly to the knot and to the foot. Thanks for looking into this maestro :) I tried again and flew as close to the plan as I could. After takeoff, nothing. I opened the mission in the editor to see if I could fix it, but I could not see how it works, let alone see where its broken or what it is that breaks it.

Not quite that easy mate. It does take some tweaking of the models position. If you just swap it in, it glitches badly.

@Vaicom devs: Are you planning to include Jester AI commands in the VAICOM pro profile?

Hyperbole, its the internets new normal. Why say something in calm, clear words when you can scream the most farfetched exaggerations of your precious opinions and feelings. Because you are important. You are special.

To each their own. I prefer text as well.

thanks :D

I think I may have found an important tidbit. Looking in my DCS install directory I found a file named F14FMlog.csv that was a whopping 20megabytes large. For a .csv that is huge.

Allright I had two times where the script didnt work. (and two where I got shot down, but most of the scripts did work) The first time, two never spoke after takeoff. He did answer the pre-takeoff briefing thing but after that just went silent. I had set radios correctly. (by mission 13 in one of your campaigns, you know those things by heart :D) The second time, the script also didnt fire (as in: no underway talking), but once I flew over a waypoint one of the wingos anchored and overlord spoke for a bit. Sadly once I had annihilated everything in the target area except the L-shaped building the helo was going to land on, nothing happened. No helo ever showed up. So. Broken sometimes, not always. What a B. to test. I suspect a trigger zone at the start of the mission is narrowish. IE you dont fly the flight plan exactly by the numbers, script breaks.

Is it possible in DCS to do dual or contextual binds? I would like my trim hat to also do jester wheel selections. Or perhaps use the TDC on the hog throttle.

Oooh, please do!

The S is the one without the nose ballast (radar) right?

Its not that this pit seems too small, the A-10C just seems too big.

And it is beautiful as is. Truly a work of art.

A good stick makes a world of difference in this sim. I for one would be quite content with just a PBR update. (and a green camo skin!)

D'aww poor thing. Poor clumsy thing. Here, have a cuddle.

Its not either or. The mig 19 got theee cockpit liveries in the week after release. I dont see why a clean new pit couldnt coexist with the beautifully worn one we have now.
