This is version 1.2.4. I land like this all day and do not experience landing gear bug. So why don't you explain to me Kenan what I am doing that is incorrect or so non-standard in this track in 1.2.4. Or how it is that I am doing it wrong only to compensate for Bug.... Since you land by the book and I don't.....respectfully please prove me wrong sir ;) Sincerely, "Rooster" FC3-1.2.4-F-15C-Normal-Landing.trk

Aerodynamic braking is not modelled in SFM. FYI Sincerely, "Rooster"

Don't Think so. Sincerely, "Rooster"

Landing gear bug is fixed in 1.2.5 Update http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=1815096#po... Sincerely, "Rooster"

SFM technique for the 44th Eagle Drivers. Since we all know AOA is how the jet is flown on approach and landing here is our technique. Has always worked for us since 2003 regardless of weight or landing gear bug. 5-7 Degrees Approach AOA, Flare, 11-13 Degrees Landing (Touchdown) AOA DO NOT EXCEED 14.5 Degrees Pitch on Rollout due to possibility of Tailstrike. The bug is mostly fixed in 1.2.5 so far. Only an occasional graphics glitch but no collapse of gear. Work in Progress. Sincerely, "Rooster"

Personally I use the rudders at all times in fixed wing anything....in A-10C I use them slightly during rolls and low-level flying sharp turns, and especially x-wind landings. Sincerely, "Rooster"

Just remember rudders can be a integral part of any airframe. So for someone to say that fast jets don't need them etc... is not completely correct, However I do realize that it is less usage in different areas. If you learn how to fly properly then the most challenging thing for you to learn should be the muscle memory and proper application. If you fly the fast jets and you have any questions I will answer them for you via private messaging etc... Sincerely, "Rooster"

That is a true statement. Sincerely, "Rooster"

BTW,... consider a touch of nose down trim as it is nice to control only back stick pressure instead of up and down with a tiny dead zone in between. Sincerely, "Rooster"

Small adjustments. When your used to flying in close formation it is relatively easy. Keep very tiny movements on the throttle. You don't have dead zones and curves at all and such in a real throttle. Keep in mind your trying to be good at something when your not trained at it formally. Keep up the hard work and patience, as the muscle memory will follow soon. Keep your eyes moving, do not get tense. Just relax. Flying formation when trained is a way of life and as far as a sweet spot.....not really it is just natural to stay in position. Sincerely, "Rooster"

I agree with GG by far. You may not have an exit window in real life and if you can provide anything to the fight,....you are your own aircraft commander. You decide when you are going to set your controlled ejection parameters. If I have a few holes in my wing, a fuel leak and a busted engine,....you better know that I sure as heck will not eject at that second if I can feed SA to my wingman to help him survive. Then once the smoke is clear,... I eject and backup arrives for SARCAP. Every scenario is different but I have encountered this before in a training fight one time as I was acting aggressor,.....where it was better for me to float around and feed SA and brevity to my wingy so he has a better chance of survival. If I can't stay in my jet longer then --- Controlled or Uncontrolled ejection as required. We always train to ensure the bandit is out of his jet first,..... or we stay out of any WEZ until we are sure he is dead. I will not be caught off guard by a wounded bandit,....that would be embarrassing. Sincerely, "Rooster"

Hmmm I bet the tanker captain didn't give that Eagle driver permission to enter his airspace :) Ouch. Sincerely, "Rooster"

Personally I think that this compatibility issue and upgrading engines will pass into a memory soon. I would say that since the DCS engine is the common denominator,.....I would be willing to bet that all things DCS in the future will be compatible with all things DCS. Just my 2 cent opinion and guess. Sincerely, "Rooster"

When you wear them in real life they fit very tight so it isn't a big deal. It is actually very comfortable. Also when you are in close formation nice to have a good grip when your hands get sweaty. So I submit to you that it is not very stupid at all. Sincerely, "Rooster"

Duct Tape the saitek assembly to the carpet is what I did.... It may not look fabulous,... but looking good won't make me a better pilot either so I take the duct tape any day. (NO SLIP on carpet for me) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duct_tape Sincerely, "Rooster"

In real life when flying this close to another aircraft it can help to imagine that you are stirring the worlds tiniest coffee cup... relax and wiggle your fingers every once in a while,..... and do not get over tense....

Hop on if you have Teamspeak3 maybe I can help a soldier ts.44thvfw.org:9988

what airframe?

Where did you get that Florida 125thFW F-15C Skin at??? Who made that I want to know :)

There may not be a gauge but if you have a HOTAS Warthog then just have the switch forward and it should be closed for normal operations. You could also look at the speed brake switch in the cockpit if you dont have one to make sure it is in the forward position as well.....without looking outside. Just trying to help but I know that isn't an easy cross check or answer, Sincerely, "44th_Rooster"
