Eldur Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) Raise handle and move aft to 68°. Raise handle to full−up extension and hold. When HZ TAIL AUTH caution light goes out and the OVER flag appears, move EMERGENCY WING SWEEP handle full aft (75° sweep position) and stow. Rotate handle guard to stowed position.Taken from the document we all should have read. This and the imagery give me the impression that the handle has two levels of raising. The first one pulls it out of the spider detent which moves accordingly to the CADC program that controls wing sweep. Then, to get it past 68°, you have to pull it up even more to overcome a stopping detent (this is the 2nd level) to be able to pull it into oversweep position, where it comes down to the first level. This is not simulated in our module. On the other hoof, it's possible to push it in completely and pull it back to oversweep while the HZ TAIL AUTH caution light is still on. Made a pic out of the NATOPS images to show how I understand this. Edited April 13, 2019 by IronMike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viper2097 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Wow, nice finding. +1 Steam user - Youtube I am for quality over quantity in DCS modules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuel_108 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Good find. Maybe HB finds a way to implement this more realistically. Would make wing sweep operation on the ground a bit more intuitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uhntissbaby111 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 From this great video, there are indeed 2 levels you can raise the handle to. He starts talking about it at 34:00. I recommend watching the whole thing, some great info in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoomEngine Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 (edited) I hope this is a call out for realism...or something... Now that the 'Cat is finally here, it kind of feels like she's being picked apart... If this is just criticism to the devs, I understand, but if not.... EDIT- I'm just glad she's here- you boys have your fun.

If this is just criticism to the devs, I understand, but if not.... Its good that it is being picked apart. And it is good that we discuss about such things. So far, I only find constructive critizm, and nobody thiought that it will be a perfect and bug free module...

Eldur, here is a reply directly from our front pit maintainer SME: "there is no second level to the handle it is either up or down, it kind of sits half way up in over sweep but it's resting on a stop" Hope that clarifies it. And yes guys, please keep pounding on us, we want to improve it, where we can.
