Soviet Made Vietnam Era Mig-21 shoot down modern Fighters
Zaltys replied to pepin1234's topic in Military and Aviation
Pure speculation. -
I've assigned everything directly from controls setup window, and it works perfectly.
-
Book is really interesting, will wait for used one. ;)

Isn't IRST for Super Hornet based on F-14D?

So we will get this (from Combat Aircraft monthly October issue): "Although the Tomcat had good low-speed handling characteristics thanks to its ‘swingwings’ and clever lift devices — spoilers plus full-span leading-edge slats and trailing-edge � aps — the aircraft could be a handful in the � final stages of a carrier landing. It was poor at holding an accurate approach speed or glideslope angle and it tended to veer away from a heading. The jet also suff�ered from high pitch inertia, causing it to � float in the � final seconds prior to landing. High residual thrust meant that pilots had to use low throttle settings, giving poor engine response when more power was required. Finally, indiff�erent lateral control made precise heading control diff�icult."

+1 for ultimate Tomcat!
-
Have same problem with X65F - after some updates it works and after some updates doesn’t. Currently I can’t assign microstick to TDC via axis control, but I could several updates ago.
-
That's certainly new point of view for me, and I'll need some time to digest it. Thank you for sharing!

Great video! At 3.00 stick movement is visible.

+1 For those who are waiting for F/A-18C, it's a week of nothing. We are 1.5 month into 2017, and with every weekly update so far hope for Bug this year is diminishing. I think with such long development, busted promises and mishandled comms with community, there is no reason for optimism.

That's a BIG aircraft!

That's just simply awesome!

DCS: F-14A/A+/B by Heatblur Simulations coming to DCS World!
Zaltys replied to Cobra847's topic in DCS: F-14A & B
Oh man, that's sooooo cool! Finally something worth my attention in DCS. :) -
What I've understood, is that in all modern Flight Control Systems you should get exactly same response from a/c for same pressure applied on the stick, regardless of speed (as long as it is possible). Any link to info on those 5th generation fighters?
-
Ok, here what I was able to find out, don't pretend to be 100 % true: First column: - autopilot disconnect (autopilot switch off) - 4-way master modes (A/A, A/G, NAV) switch - display's cursor steering - super maneuverability switch - trigger, I understand it's used for everything except gun - don't know exactly, looks like it resets something (like TMS down in F-16) - temporary disconnect of autopilot Second column: - forcing aircraft to horizontal straight and level flight - don't know - gun pickle (yes, it's strange position for it) - don't know, but looks like it points to trigger - management of EO station - comms switch - consent for something (?) - speed brake - introduction (direct translation from Russian) - chaff/flare Third column: - weapons selection BTW, there was information that it's an old configuration of HOTAS.
-
I just said what I remeber from my head. I need more time to look into it.
-
Oh man. It looks nice, but seems that they were so afraid of accusations of copying something, that they just did almost everything vice versa from western HOTAS. For example: radar cursor (third from the top left row) on the central moving stick, can you imagine managing it under high g?
-
You really fly simulators?
-
AFAIK it's Su-35's HOTAS, not T-50's

Bitdefender and the same story here.
