  1. ^^No FLAPS to FULL during take offs? (quietly leaves the room)
  2. It may be intentional OR the weight of the bomb attached to the right wing (left wing appears to have no payload attached) simply 'pulled' the aircraft to the right, the moment the wheels lost contact with the ground.
  3. Considering how many movies were totally lazy in being even close to accurate, hats off to these guys who did put quite an effort. You notice these things only if you're pilot (or sim pilot) but for most of the folks, it looks quite "realistic".
  4. Are there any plans to enable carrier to provide contact/bandit readouts (similar to AWACS)? It's safe to say that the carrier has a pretty powerful radar (and at sea) and I assume this should be a common practice in real life, at least when it comes to area covered by radar?
  5. You should try night landings in VR..now that's a challenge... ;)
  6. It appears the radar shows only one contact, when there are in fact, multiple targets flying in formation. Not sure if it’s WIP issue OR perhaps I’m using the wrong tracking mode? It appears that, at this tine, only RWS is modelled? Thanks.
  7. Questions: 1. Can you flip three-way switches (left mouse button & right mouse button) with CG and if yes, how? 2. How responsive are they when pushing buttons i.e. do they "wander off" if sensor is lightly out of alignement (like OcculusTouch)? 3. Are they worth getting now or should one wait for a better version/update? Thanks.
  8. Was wondering if the ILS (carrier based) is available in the current beta? Also noticed trying to land without it, in VR, is very difficult as the centerline carrier runway lights are very hard to see and it's a challenge to line up properly.
  9. Head on against Mig-29A (with R-27) is almost impossible to make a kill with AIM-7 even from relatively close range (10 nautical miles). I always end up using my AIM-9 for a kill. Indeed, the radar looses lock as soon as the bandit starts diving, regardless of my position, even while pointing my nose straight at the target..
  10. I assume any type of night vision (HUD, Goggles) is yet to be implemented in the sim? Trying a night landing in VR is very difficult (at least for me) without actual visual aids.
  11. Quick question: how do you actually activate RWR? Besides the panel switch in front of the stick, anything else I should do to actually have RWR show symbols and emit sounds? Thx.
  12. Didn't they say Spring 2018? Well... ..it's Spring! :D
  13. Politics aside, whatever your favourite western/eastern aircraft/philosophy is, I don't think anyone in this thread, by wanting to engage in a strickly "technical" aspect of those air to air engagements, wants to dispute/bring into a question the courage and professionalism of those MiG-29 pilots who went against the odds (knowing what they were facing).

    Warthog HOTAS

    Not sure if there will be an "offical" ED preset for TM Warthog and if the one you're using is the same but..definatelly would be great if we would get not only profile but an actual diagram for both stick and throttle. :)
  15. I don't see how talking about it in a civilized manner is in any way disrespectful. Of course, to each his own I guess.
  16. There is another video of the crash, more clearly showing the circumstances:
  17. My guess is, either of the two things happened: 1. The pilot thought he could pull out in time (miscalculated) 2. G-Loc It's kinda hard to believe, if he was conciouss and aware, that he didn't realize it's time to eject so..my guess is, GLoc (even partial could lead to his belated reaction and fatal crash). It just goes to show how fragile and relative human life is. Lights turn off in a split second.
  18. ^^ It's always embarassing when the refueling boom won't fully retract and just sticks out like that.
  19. Same result had the missile hit the M1A1 at the same spot (upper part of the dome). Now..had the missile hit the tracks (regardless of type of tank), it would have probably been a different outcome..
  20. Whatever the price, I'm buying it.. :) I do hope it's not $99 though... :D
  21. Still...unless radar operator was sleeping..u-turn or no u-turn, you should be able to avoid a vessel coming your way. The warship should certainly be more manouverable than the merchant vessel.
  22. If I understand correctly, the larger and heavier (thus harder to turn/navigate) cargo ship had the right of passage? Someone screwed up and it is very likely the commanding officers of the U.S. warship. How do you, with all the radar and electronics, not see a big cargo ship approaching you and move out of the way? On an open sea no less.
