Yes! I'm excited. 'Central Committee' following '5 year plan?' (that's from history books )

Heck, I don't even trust my AV . At my age I'm fine with 'amusing myself to death' and if a game (sim ) runs good and I'm able to completely transport myself into it... I might get really trusty (that's bad!) If the game runs crappy and the code keeps me running in circles but I don't wanna leave it 'cause there are no alternatives... then I get bored and suspicious. 'Why do they keep me running in circles?' 'Do they know what they're doing?' 'Is there only 1 dev +AI running this outfit (lol)" 'Is there some other sinister reason...' OK, it's only gonna get worse older I get, fine! Sooner or later I'll get bored enough and venture into my backyard to help my wife with gardening...

I know, I've seen some of AI's creations... I just threw a quick jab at the entire 'entity' here and how things are running... generally (OT as usual )

It crossed my mind on occasion... this entire caboodle might already be coded by AI

Yep, round up as many 'normies' as possible into the spiderweb. I have a grumpy old man's approach to all this... The bigger picture and I simply don't like zuckerberg, lol.

How about this advanced concept of verifying if the changes produced desired results before releasing... if not, scrap'em. Maybe the devs are getting a kick out of watching us run a 'hamster wheel' of bugs, lol I got so numbed out dealing with this over the years and I finally learned how to find fun in creating crutches, bandaids and workarounds

Man... that useless microshaft's copilot... just sits there and watches me. It could've told me not to put DCS as a root... too late now!

...and who would the best summeriser? - yes, someone from ED's flight modelling team perhaps on their lunch break could jot down a few lines on a napkin and send it to one of our forum mods. Just the major stuff or changes... so there's no cloud of mystery and the 'test pilots' here can whip out their charts and tables and test for specific things quickly... before we decide to write essays and speculations

Couple of posters in this thread stated they don't see any yaw at all. So... something specific to strain gauge sticks? EDIT: One of them just responded so never mind.

No... Some 'historian' here should probably explain the timeline and the progress from the the early days of the Hornet through early 2000's.

Yes... after extensive testing of Hornet's radar and D/L, I agree.

Sorry for sticking my Hornet's nose in here but it reminds me of my attempts to fly a Hornet with an improperly positioned side stick. Even when correctly angled I had to focus on pulling the stick perfectly straight and w/o angling it also left. I know, I know you guys have all the axes displayed on the screen so there's probably something else going on... it just popped in my head

Here's my gamer aerodynamics guru's take on this: At slower airspeed (say below 260) the 'blanked out' part of the wing (referring to Hulkbust's description is larger then at at higher speed. The rudder deflection and yaw is less pronounced at higher speed so the lift difference between the wings is small. The rudder sits on top of longitudinal axis and when deflected it would cause a tiny roll in the opposite direction... I guess, lol. I would think that FCS should counter this roll at any airspeed but it doesn't. BTW, the interconnect between the rudder and stick during the turn seems to work fine but that's a separate logic. So... any real gurus, SMEs input? EDIT: I don't have a Viper but I'm curious about it's rudder effectiveness at higher speeds... should be nil

It does seem like there's a lot of 'wolf crying' going on already If the whammy sneaks through or it's already here... so be it, lol. The benefit of running a dedicated DCS machine with nothing else on it. When it craps out, wipe it out and re-image and... wait for the next whammy. JUST KIDDING of course.

Well, at the bottom of the linked page it says that increasing your page file can slow your system down but it can help in some cases as a bandaid... in a system with 128 gigs.
