Falls du die Gun schießen willst, musst du übrigens auch den Gun Master armen.

Stimmt. Wobei ich glaube, dass sie von jenseits des großen Teiches kommt. Tendenziell eher auch, wobei aber garantiert nicht in dieser Trennschärfe. Dadurch dass Frauen zunehmend den Weg ins Cockpit suchen und finden, haben zivile Sims einen gewissen Reiz. Zumal es alles nicht mahr ganz so abstrakt und in Klötzchengrafik ist, wie noch zu FS 95 Zeiten. Ich schätze, dass MSFS der Flugsim-Community dank des einfachen Quereinstiegs über XBox einen großen Gefallen tut. Ein bisschen wie WT, das als Einstiegsdroge für einige hin zu DCS agiert.

Das war in der Tat recht episch Leider hatte sie davon kein Video gemacht.

The EE comes with a different set of skins than the CE.

Blue skies, Erich.

The engine light effects at low ambient light and a more customized burner colour would also be very awesome. Visible engine flames inside the turbine is something distinct (though not exclusive) among the M53 and Atars.

I don't think it's necessarily the DEFAs, but actually the DM of the aircraft it's gently trying to persuade to blow up. It should look a little more like this (M III guncam, essentially the same gun): Note: Some "MiG-17s" are actually Hunters.

Sinai can act well as a CW map. It won't be contemprary to the conflicts that raged, but at least it stands in for a conflict that was ongoing for 20 years. Cuba, in contrast, was *hot* for thirteen days. And hot is quite a stretch, in that the only things shot were photos. For the most part anyway. It would be a beautiful place to fly over nonetheless. A Hunter would work well on the Sinai and Syria maps - Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon being past users.

The Gator is rad! https://www.smithsonianmag.com/air-space-magazine/11_on2015-f8-crusader-at-60-180956611/ Some flying stories do scare the sh1t out of you.

Great info, thanks! Interesting design-choice to isolate the aux blower at sea level. Was that design-choice driven by the requirement of providing all the power the R2800 could squeeze out (hence no SC losses by dragging along the unnecessary aux stage), or was it just a bored-out engineer trying to shove another lever into the Corsair cockpit?

Thanks for the correction. Mike Williams' site quotes a lot of tests that concern high and low blower settings, yet there's clearly three speeds on the charts. So which one is hig and low? And is there a "neutral" blower, which I seem to rember from somewhere, yet I can't attach it to any airplane right now.

https://theaviationgeekclub.com/sluf-vs-fresco-unarmed-7-able-fend-off-mig-17-skies-north-vietnam/ The later jets with maneuvering-flaps supposedly weren't half bad in terms of turning and high AoA (which was dicey in the earlier A-7s due to their departure-chraracteristics). They'd just not have enough thrust to be a credible threat.

As an addendum: The target-box/square won't show when locked onto somebody with the radar in "standby". The rest of the symbology will, though. Haven't tried to shoot, as I was not in the mood of getting kicked from the server

Never seen an A-7 with a wall-to-wall bomb loadout in theater. The entire point of the A-7D/E was to do more with less, so instead of dopping a huge stick of bombs, they'd deliver less bombs with a tighter CEP. Most A-7A-E missions off Yankee Station didn't use any bags at all. A-7Ds out of Thailand IIRC usually carried two bags. FWIW: The aircraft will probably have the maneuvering flaps mod, so it should be okay'ish in AA unless you're expecting to win against the teen fighters most of the time.

Awesome, thanks Panny! Just one minor thing I found (in the Sights section): 1Nautical Mile ~ 18 Hectometers (16 would be a Statute Mile)

Würde ich sofort kaufen, aber ist schon mehrmals von Razbam mit entschiedenem "nein" beantwortet worden. Dito 2000-5.

Aerges said they'd change things in the controls-behaviour with the next update. We'll just about have to wait and see.

Du hast "Autismus" falsch geschrieben

I must admit, flawless logic is strong with this one!

Nah. February 31st. Be sure!

I can't really wrap my head around it, other than the Lightning climbing at an airspeed/ Mach that seems slow'ish at first glance. That may be a procedural thing, getting the nose up sooner and getting away from people/ airspace quicker. Not sure, though. I'm usually assuming 600KIAS and M0.9 when I don't have any numbers. What's curious is the following (start of T/O-run to reaching climb-speed, see figure A3-1 below): The Lightning will reach it's climb speed ~15s sooner (.75min vs 1min), in almost half the distance (2nm vs 5nm) and using ~150lbs less fuel. And that seems to not even include the startup and taxi-fuel, whichapparently is included in that figure. The Phantom's initial climb speed is about 586 (?) KIAS, which explains the different figures (450:586 is roundabout 0.75:1, just assuming linear acceleration for a second). It backs up the question why the Lightning would climb so much slower, though. Fig. A3-1 https://imgur.com/a/DMKcjDF
