** Let There Be Thrust! F-14 Development Update **


Recommended Posts

Ok thanks,Nick,that is also what I thought,reading the NATOP manual.

 

Always good to hear facts from airmen.

 

Cheers.

To see your opponent for who he or she is,is to put your blade in front of their deepest secrets and make them come up front,outward with a defeat or a win.

Yeah, that is an error that escaped editing. One of our SMEs told us that heading out with AICS malfunctions was a big no no, though they would sometimes cheat on cross countries so they wouldn't get stranded. They called it "Stow and go". After take-off they would report the ramp issue and continue to their destination.

 

But otherwise, stow was only for in-flight malfunctions and they were left in auto for cat launches (though there were rare ramp malfunctions on cat shots that resulted in stalls).

AICS failures were quite common usually more computer issues than the actuators, the AICS computers were junk and we would constantly change them, they never really upgraded those computers unlike the SCADC or pitch, roll, and yaw computers.

Indeed, it was generally a problem with OBC, not the ramps themselves.

Correct and most of the time it would reset with cycling the associated ramp circuit breaker, if that didn't do it , then time to change the programmer, couldn't tell you how many of those things I had to change over the years lol

Good info - cheers. Will be nice to have a bit more depth in systems modelling and failures to monitor during flight.

 

Interesting that a low oil pressure and oil hot will only result in a possible seizure.

 

Our sequence of events in all our sim rides was an OIL PRESS light followed by an OIL HOT light followed by an ENGINE FIRE if you didn't sort it out in time....or if your pilot spent the whole time trying to find the OIL PRESS LOW light checklist in his QRH (which had fallen out of his book and was sitting on the sim instructors desk) while ignoring the Flight Engineers strong recommendation to shut the engine down!

 

He was suitably debriefed that a living breathing FE sitting next to you overrides his little QRH.

Wow, so detailed modelling of the engine!

 

But I think many of us would also like to know if Jet Wash is also modeled :P ?

"...shortly"... And now almost 4 weeks since this post. (Or did I miss a more recent update?)

Still, my question remains, did I miss another newer post/thread or not? (Afaik they're not even telling us what they're working on currently)

Although I´m with you in this particular question, I´d highly recommend to delete the text of the second Post you wrote on page 6...Double posts are not really helpful.

 

According to the question...I´m checking the Heatblur subforums each day for any news since the term shortly is a timeframe I consider somethings to be happen in the very near future...and this is the problem. This very near future furthermore depends on the developers schedule...So we wont get any better estimates or news until the release announcement will finally be made.

 

I really hope that Heatblur wont stumble on any new problems that will push the release further back.

 

In DCS soon=months, not soon=years, presale= about 1 month.

 

you missed a definition for shortly :)...if soon means month, so shortly means weeks, doesn´t it? And (a few) weeks already passed by :D

Thx very much, the double post happened because android 7.0 chrome browser and this forum software don't go that well together xD sorry!

@MemphisBale he said "soon=monthS", so shortly is probably from around couple of weeks to a month or two :lol:

Everybody gotta be offended and take it personally now-a-days

Or there was a huge code loss due to not enough backups, but I highly doubt this scenario.

I like it too xD the Jester AI video already looked like a playable version... I'm surprised it's still taking so long.

I'm not.

 

This is arguably the most complex module for DCS yet.

Ok, because of Jester AI. But Gazelle is also a complex (and "broken") multiplayer module :P
