I got an e-mail from "SendOwl Downloads" noreply@sendowl.com. I was also panicking and could not find it ;)

If You can catch us.

 

A Clean Viggen (With Pylons) will out accelerate a clean Mirage 2000

(Without pylons) even if both have 100% internal fuel.

 

So if you simply punch all external load in the Viggen and go full afterburner you will out accelerate a Mirage 2000

(Even more so if he has weapons or weapons pylons which is a guarantee if on any combat server to start with)

and the advantage will just increase as the Viggen burns fuel.

 

So unless you manage to surprise / catch a slow Viggen they should be able to simply run way from you.

 

but you dont need to get close , jsut close enough to fire a missile. and itl do the chasing work. if you have to manuver to dodge one, you bleed speed allowing the enemy interceptor to get closer and fire off a second one, be it IR or radar guided.

 

But that aside even if you do get away, If the enemy fighter has forced you to jettison external loads and run off, then he has won, because ground( or naval) assets have been protected.

I didn't get an e-mail from them. Yet...

 

I hope it still comes in today. I need to fly the Viggen today :joystick:

[Evilduck]

Thanks! I´ll Guess I´ll have to hit F5 even more then.

[danielkarlssondk]

is it only me or is the viggen really hard to taxi with? and while in air the aircraft turns to the left all the time

Indeed.

But the point is the Viggen is not as easy a Pray as some might think.

 

And it will without a doubt be the hardest Attack aircraft to catch for enemy fighters.

Since its the only one that can actually run away from an enemy.

 

And if you are letting the enemy fighters get close enough to launch on you then you are already making a mistake.

The moment you see Radar spikes getting close from the enemy direction you should consider running and if they lock you (and you have a strong suspicion that it is an enemy fighter thats the point where you can jettison and run for it

(if you have to jettison weapons or not depends on what Loadout you have as some weapons have more Drag then others).

 

And sure fighters can still prevent you from striking the targets if they manage an intercept but they might not be able to catch or shoot you down if you turn and run in time.

 

Where as in a A-10 or Su-25 your only chance is either hiding hoping they loose you or pray for somebody to save you.

Dont find it hard to taxi at all.

 

Just dont turn the Nose wheel all the way over or you might start skidding the nose wheel.

You should feel the moment the nose wheel starts to skid at that point simply center it again then start turning it gradually again,

dont just simply go max rudder deflection while on taxi.

 

And on the second part have you heard of trim my friend? ^^.

[Manuel_108]

are you going to go request a refund over it? just what are you trying to leverage here guys?

 

I am.

[NineLine]

I am.

 

Too bad, the module is really a lot of fun.

[Agremont]

I believe there's currently a bug where the ruder wont center properly.

I have pre-purchased it on day 1, but didn't get an email for download yet (also checked the spam folder).

Yeah you´re not alone, I had to check as well, still no key though.

[golani79]

Check your profiles if you haven´t got a mail with the key - I didn´t receive a mail either but the key is under under the Details of the Viggen in "My Orders" in the ED account.

[renhanxue]

If you ordered from Heatblur you should've gotten a serial number that you need to input on your eagle.ru profile page. On the left near the bottom below the newsletter subscription box there's a field that says "check license" or something like that, just input the serial there and it'll ask you if you want to bind it to your account.

[spiddx]

It would be helpful if you guys would tell us wether you pre-ordered via ED or HeatBlur...

apples - oranges comparison. Since a comparison to a supersonic strike aircraft like the F111 or tornado would be more appropriate with the viggen, but even not the exact same doctrines. ( even though the tornado also was a Low N fast striker)

 

 

CLose air support aircraft like he A10 or Su25 arent meant to operate behind enemy lines in areas of contested airspace to begin with. But for aircraft that did like the F111 or F15E ( even though the latter can "self escort" ) , ideally had fighter escort like in the Gulf war.

If you bought it from HeatBlur.com, the code was sent from noreply@sendowl.com almost instantly after completing your purchase.

 

We've had a lot of people see it in their spam folder, although some email providers do delete spam after a certain timeframe.

 

If you can't find it, PM me your Order number, email address and zip code and I'll see if I can't get it resolved for you.

Heatblur, Day 1 of the pre-relase, And no mail in spam or otherwise, nor Have I any viggen in My profile in ED account

It is a long thread, sorry if this been answered. But where is the manual? I wanted an updated one.. There is no docs in my install. And no HOTAS-tips btw, but they maybe will come later.

Anyway I am happy because I have the Viggen on premiere day. Tomorrow it is flytime (after weekendshopping food etc). Cheers
