brettt777 Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 I'm new to the F-15 so pardon the newb questions. I went through the controls setup and couldn't find where the radar range is changed, and I also couldn't find how to turn on the master arm. Also, in FC3, can't the mouse/cursor be used to click on some knobs and switches like the DCS P-51 and F-86?

escaner Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 To change the radar range you just need to slew the cursor bars beyond maximum or minimum range. It can also be mapped to an axis. There is no master arm and no clickable cockpit in FC3 planes. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

There is no master arm and no clickable cockpit in FC3 planes. So it's always armed, you just lock up a target and fire?

There is no master arm and no clickable cockpit in FC3 planes. Would this setup for the F-15, i.e. no clickable cockpit, be the same if I purchased the stand alone plane for DCS?

Comes Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Can someone tell me if there is a light or something to see if afterburners are on or off?
kontiuka Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Can someone tell me if there is a light or something to see if afterburners are on or off?No light as far as I know but I think around 96% RPM is when afterburner kicks in.
Zilch Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Can someone tell me if there is a light or something to see if afterburners are on or off? I watch my fuel flow meters. When the number gets an extra digit, you're in AB. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Zilch79's YouTube Channel:
GGTharos Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Watch the nozzle gauges. There are 5 AB zones and the nozzle gauges will show you which one you're at. Just fly your plane, and slooooowly push the throttle forward. You'll see the needles on those gauges jump from one setting to another.

GGTharos Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Are talking about the same engine, and if so, different semantic? For the pilot in an F-15C you get 5 AB zones, AFAIK. You get something like 11 spray-rings (or maybe seven? 4+ 3 for last stage. I forget).

GGTharos Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Of course, sticking some 229's in a Charlie would be ... interesting. Can't say anything about fuel economy though :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda

GGTharos Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Was it some sort of test? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda

strikeeagle Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Was it some sort of test? Yes...the F-15K, SA, and SG have GE's. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Chris
NRG-Vampire Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Yes...the F-15K, SA, and SG have GE's. Hey Eagle Keeper Chris :) i think you are the right person to answer this: Does the F-15C position and anti-K lights work same as F-15E lights ? I mean if the pilot turns on the anti-K and the Position set to flash then all Pos lights go to the brightest steady state ? and how "flash" the position lights ? (iv never seen that irl, nor on a video) "flash" same as how anti-K works - not totally turning off ? work in dimmed then brightest, dimmed then brightest "mode"? (i guess those are not real flashers like stobe light on the top of the tail of an F-16) "flash" same as the anti K - blinking in unison all 3 ? (wing-red, wing-green, tail-white) thanks in advance
