- Is it normal that the nozzle will always stay at 80% even when in full AB? > Will upload a short vid later.

- RWR sounds not working (i think. Maybe it's normal for F-5).

- Air-brakes are always on when starting the F-5. Is this normal? And is there any Air-brake indicator some where in the cockpit?

- Radio menu does not work in flight. Only on the ground. Wanted to ask for AWACS but when pressing \ in flight it won't show the radio menu at all. Or do i have to be at a specific radio frequency for it to work.

Go in close, and when you think you are too close, go in closer.

AIM-9P5 has way too high sensitivity to flares, it should be similar in countermeasure resistance to that of the AIM-9M. It is in fact 20 times more sensitive then the AIM-9M and on the same level as the AIM-9B.

 

AIM-9P5

ccm_k0 = 10.0, -- Counter Countermeasures Probability Factor. Value = 0 - missile has absolutely resistance to countermeasures. Default = 1 (medium probability) --seeker sensivity params

AIM-9M

ccm_k0 = 0.5

 

Edit:

Damage model is weird, you lose your right engine 100 % of the time when you take any damage at all. Always the right engine, never the left engine. It really needs improvement as it is frustrating to use this bird in an air to ground role at the moment.

1-The lever to open and close the canopy does not work and has no way to click on it. It happened to me about 3 times. And every time I laid the aircraft linked to a long period of time on the ground.

 

2-Whenever you disable the oxygen alone he moved the lever to 100% oxygen use. This is normal?

 

I too have experienced the lack of canopy handle functionality. In my case it's when I am using Rift VR.

You have to map also UHF button IIRC at Throttle, "\" button only works to "open" the comms menu, but it doesn't transmit throught any radio (imagine you're speaking with ground crew)

 

My recomendation is to avoid "\" button and only map the UHF radio button

Elevator Control needs Adjustment

 

I'm using the TM Warthog HOTAS.

I found that the Joystick is far from fully pulled back when the elevator reaches the end of its course. Similar picture when I push it forward. This results in overly sensitive pitch control.

I set the "Saturation Y" to 65 %. Now the elevator reaches full stroke just shortly before the end of the joystick movement and pitch is easier to control.

This ought to be adjusted so the pitch works well with "Saturation Y" at 100%!

Nosewheel Steering Issue

 

Yes, it's very sensitive. I'll see what I can do, but don't expect anything big ))

cofcorpse, I hope you are not serious!

Nosewheel steering right now is suicidal. This must be significantly improved. Sorry if I sound harsh but this is not viable.

Nosewheel has range of 50 degress. And it does not have two switchable ranges like F-15C does. So, it will be sensitive. I saw a good advice to first neutralize rudder input and then press steering button. This could help a little

Are you pressing the NWS button before or after you apply the pedals? I've had no problems using it as suggested by others - press and hold NWS button, use pedals to steer (gently), straighten up, release NWS button.

 

The plane's supposed to have a very tight turning circle at max deflection and as far as I can tell it only reaches the limits at 100% pedal, so anything done to reduce the response would either reduce the maximum deflection or give you weird non-linear responses.

What I hear from you and others sounds like bad news to me. This NWS effect makes landings more difficult than with the Bf-109. I use CH pro pedals and used to believe they are not bad. They may not be good enough for this bird. I feel that there ought to be a cheat for people who don't have top class pedals.

Im not sure what he speed limit is for the F-5E, but my general rule is to not use any type of NWS if I'm over 30 knots.

 

Rudder deflection above 30 knots *should* be enough for minor corrections (ie keeping straight on runway.).

 

Especially on Landings, when you're braking hard usually to slow down.

I can't understand the Problems you guys are having with the NWS.

I hav zero curve on my Pedals and I can Taxi the plane as Intended and really precise.

 

During Taxi:

1. Center Rudder

2. Press and hold the NWS Button

3. Turn

4. Center rudder again

5. Releas NWS Button

 

During TakeOff:

1. Line up on the RWY

2. Center Rudder and Nosewheel

3. Release NWS

4. Hold Brakes and go Mil-Power

5. Push to Gate and release Brakes

6. Hold Centerline on RWY just with rudder no NWS

 

 

Works like a charm after a bit of practice.

Thank you. And what is this 80% nozzle. Should that not be 100% when you open it fully. I seem not to have a problem following others do. So reaching 100% open nozzle does not seem needed.

Go in close, and when you think you are too close, go in closer.

80% at full AB is normal according to the flight manual.

Error in training mission.

 

The startup training mission does not tell you to connect ground power, only Pres. air. so therefore it won't start. Reading the full manual, it's stated also to connect ground power.

 

The top speed should be 1700 km/h. But I hardly reaches 1400 in a shallow dive, with no weapons and little fuel. Isn't a little slow?

 

Otherwise a realy nice plane. :-)

The training mission text does not fit the text box is there is alot of text lines, so some text is missing. Possibly only VR issue, since the text is bigger

I start it almost every time without ground power. The battery is enough when combined with the outside air source

That is the start up procedure in the real F-5, if memory serves me right:

1) Air to #2

2) RPM above 12% press ignition switch and clock at same time then move throttle to idle

3) Engine should ignite within 30 seconds otherwise abort start and motor engine for 30 seconds to blow out any fuel in the engine

4) Once engine and systems are checked and steady change air to #1(left) don't think it had a bleed air starting system, the air was changed from 2 to 1,,,,,, the T-38A am positive had a diverter valve which was supposed to automatically change to give #1 air, but ti was disconnected because of failure rate, we just used a 1/2 wrench to divert the air to #1.

Not the way that the manual describes. Always left engine first. After that you can bleed from it but rpm must be at 95%. No real life experience here, just sim

The closest it gets to real life about this aircraft, they did a heck of job!! it was so easy for me to know where everything is on the cockpit and how to operate it, now I get to see how it worked in the air .

MFG Crosswinds here, no problem at all with NWS here either. Sensitive, but not overly so IMO. NWS feels good.

Maximum speed: 917 kn (Mach 1.6, 1,060 mph, 1,700 km/h) ; at altitude

 

So that would be 1700KPH ground speed, not indicated. Not sure what that would be in IAS.

Nosewheel Steering Sensitivity

 

I had been complaining about the extreme sensitivity of the NWS. Now I still find it over-sensitive (certainly when compared to A-10C which is very manoeuvrable on the ground). However I have to admit that my problem in the landing process was due to excessive touchdown speed. I had simply not read that part of the flight manual and was trying to land "intuitively" based on my experience with F-15C, SU-27 and A-10C.

For the benefit of other F-5E rookies with a "just-do-it" mentality: You make your life a lot easier if you manage the descent, esp. speed and AOA, according to what the flight manual states. That includes using the drag chute! When you do that, you only need the NWS when you are down to taxiing speed. And at that speed it is manageable.

Cheers!

Lighting Kontrol via throttle buttons: On/OFF behaviour

 

I have bound some of the Lighting Control knobs (Flight, Engine, Flood and Console) to 3-position buttons on my Throttle. When I shortly set any of these switches to the forward or aft position, the corresponding knobs turn almost all the way CW or CCW. Thus the brightness control is essentially ON/OF.

It should be possible to reduce that rotation speed to allow more gradual setting.
