    Hi @BIGNEWY I have an question for ED devs, if you can pass it to them:

    ...

    Now The AIM-120 AMRAAM with Update mentioned "introduced realistic velocity gate", really. You ED have the source of such data and approved by Raytheon company? Or is only a typo and you wanted to write "more realistic" which can be understood as now being closer to what someone educated in missile seekers guesed as "close to real" value? I would be OK with it 🙂

     

    Radar technology is public knowledge. Are you getting exact implementation of missile's radar and signal processing? 100% not. It is still close enough for entertaining purposes.

    The Sidewinders do actually produce less drag than the AMRAAM. 4 wing AIM-120 is exactly the same as 4 fuselage 120's.

    That one is correctly modeled in DCS, in fact twin fuel tanks are actually slightly less drag than the center tank. 3 tanks are a nightmare to fly with, yet I see so many F-15's loaded that way in the sim.

    It flies just fine with 3 tanks, just remember to drop them before engaging an opponent.

    I remember walking around this thing at one of the shows at AFB Waterkloof in Pretoria. It was fugly then, it's fugly now. I laughed at the 'ZU' registration - South African commercial/light civilian aircraft are normally prefixed by 'ZS', with light sport/experimental/non-certified being 'ZU', but they're normally civilian. Bit of a laugh to see a large Hind with bits hanging off with the callsign prefix you'd normally find on Koos with his little Cubby buzzing around Stellenbosch.

     

    The same was true for YF-22 and YF-23. They got N numbers probably under experimental rules which would you normally see at RV-10 and similar aircraft.

    It's used for making fine adjustments to a held attitude when autopilot is engaged. For example you could set the aircraft to hold a climb and adjust the pitch with the stick or trim hat, or use the stick or trim hat to adjust your bank angle in an altitude held orbit. 

     

    Most people have probably used CSS already without even knowing it. If you've ever used the stick to make roll inputs while in BALT you've used CSS. You can use the trim hat to do the same thing, but at a fixed roll rate.

     

    So it is basically just a mode reversion.

    👍.  I wish we had a target AOA display on HUD (low on the right side). Some lots of Super Hornets have them. It allows the pilot to set the desired AOA with the trim hat ahead of time and as the jet slows down, the bracket lines up, all the pilot has to do is maintain the glide path with the throttle.

     

    Yea, that sounds like a good idea on paper, but if you rush to trim for on-speed AoA you end up mistrimmed for some time. Idk, I would need to try it first to decide whether I like that feature.

  6. Pro tip: Do not believe everything you see on YT.

     

    On a traditional stable platform without FBW, throttle has influence on AoA. 

    On F-18, control law allows AoA to wiggle a little bit with throttle inputs.

    Sorry bout that, I meant the AV-8BN/A training mission

     

     

    It's on ENG page on MFD. "STAB POS" parameter.

     

    To enter ENG page from main menu you click on ENG button (top button on the right side of MFD). 

    If you are not already in main menu, click bottom middle MFD button.
