  1. Bremspropeller's post in EE version. no autopilot? was marked as the answer   
    It's not really damaged, you're just kicking the servos offline. Hit the Servo Reset button and you'll be fine.
  2. Bremspropeller's post in Fuel Flow Question was marked as the answer   
    There's no direct way of gauging FF.
    The clicks you're hearing is the totalizer winding down. I believe one click is a liter, but it could be multiples of that. So if you count the seconds between clicks, you get an idea. Other than that you could count the seconds it takes for the totalizer to change (10l increments) and then extrapolate to an hour.
    Normally, fuel won't be much of a concern in the F1.
  3. Bremspropeller's post in Why specifically Mach 1.4? was marked as the answer   
    As others have stated, the A/B can be disengaged at any speed/ Mach. Just don't retard the throttle out of MIL.
    The overspeed regulation exists in most jets. Difference here is that the overspeed will kick in automaticly, but there's no protetction against retarding the throttle in place, like on most other jets. In other jets, if you retard the go-stick, the engine will stay at high power and schedule back with lower Mach automaticly. In the F1, the engine will just go back and *poof* stall.
    The overspeed is a mechanism to account for the shock-losses that become a thing at Mach 1.4 - why at 1.4? Well, I have forgotten too much supersonic flow theory to tell you all about it, but it's most probably related to some specific shock-table value. In essence, it's a matter of ram-rise (temperature goes up) and hence a loss in static pressure/ density, so you'll have to run the compressor at a higher speed to make the suck-squeeze-bang-blow magic happen.
    Keep in mind that the ATAR 9K50 is basicly a glorified BMW 003 from WW2 - it's only got 9 compressor stages, so it's a very simple engine with a low compression-ratio compared to other contemporary engines. For comparison: The J79 has 17 compressor stages and a complex VSV/IGV system to have it run at higher compression ratios.
  4. Bremspropeller's post in Missile review was marked as the answer   
    AIM-9B/J - rear aspect heaters => Seeker needs to be uncaged.
    AIM-9JULI - Juliet with a Lima seeker (all aspect) => Seeker needs to be uncaged.
    R550 Magic 1 - rear aspect heater => Seeker magically uncages itself. Eats flares like I eat éclairs.
    R550 Magic 2 - all aspect heater (best heater for the F1) => Seeker magically uncages itself.
    R530 IR - BFM* rear aspect (and limited 3-9 line capability) heater => Can only be carried on C/L station or inboard wing-stations. Use the C/L station.
    R530EM - BFM* all aspect Fox 1 (acts like a pitbull on a playground in a furball) => Can only be carried on C/L station or inboard wing-stations. Use the C/L station.
    S530F - one Fox 1 to own them all => If Jesus had a missile.
    That's about it. Unless Aerges decides in the future to implement the V3B or C and Python 3/ V3S missile carried by Equador and South Africa.

  5. Bremspropeller's post in FOX 2s no longer work? was marked as the answer   
    Did you power up/ engage cooling of the missiles?
    The EXT switch right outboard of the wingtip-missile station buttons should take care of that.
  6. Bremspropeller's post in LE Droop deflection angle was marked as the answer   
    LE devices have been fixed with today's patch.
    I love you guys! 😄
  7. Bremspropeller's post in Rudder trembling at taxiing was marked as the answer   
    It's a known issue. There are several threads about it already.
