Jabbers_ Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Nice guide! Some feedback Page 40 - the graphic showing 40* is incorrect, the +-20 degree scan is left right, not up down.

parxuk Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Simply super. Thanks so much for this. As someone struggling to get to grips with the Tomcat, and not the time I would like to sit down and digest the full manual from Heat blur then this has been a god send to get me into a position that I can actually start flying with half an idea of what I'm doing.

DERacing Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 This is one of the most in depth guides Ive seen for the Cat yet. It would be nice if the pages could be broken out of the document though.

Yeti42 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 There are some inaccuracies... (apologies I'm anal) ;) Nice job overall though :) The most glaring one is that you say 90% for takeoff, the takeoff should be performed at MIL power...: The Takeoff: 4. Increase thrust to 90% to begin roll - Correct but then increase to MIL power 6. Pull back on stick 25° until liftoff – don't exceed 10° pitch - not sure where the 25 degrees comes from... NATOPS says "Maintain the control stick at the trimmed condition during the prerotation ground roll phase to minimize aircraft drag. After the pre-computed rotation speed (refer to NAVAIR 01-F14AAP-1.1), smoothly pull the control stick aft to position the HUD waterline at a 7_ to 10_ pitch attitude until safely airborne" Windows 10 64 bit | Intel i5-9600k OC 5 Ghz | RTX 2080 |VENGEANCE® LPX 32GB DDR 4 OC 3200 Hotas Warthog | Logitech G Flight Rudder Pedals | Track IR 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MemphisBelle Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Guide was added to the DCS Tutorial Collection. Thanks, this is a very well done Guide, that´s why I´ve placed it on that position where I usually place Chuck´s guides on other Modules.

date7466 Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Great work!I have some questions about the chapter on aerial refueling,Data shows that wingsweep does not require a 55 degree setting. 12. Set Wing Sweep Thumb Switch – DOWN (BOMB). A constant wing sweep of 55 deg will help stabilize the flight of the aircraft. The original text is as follows 6. Wing−sweep switch ---- MAN/wing−sweep angle As Desired. Refueling altitudes and airspeeds are dictated by receiver and/or tanker characteristics and operational needs, consistent with the tanker’s performance and refueling capa bilities. This covers a practical spectrum from the deck to 35,000 feet, 170 to 300 knots, and wing−sweep angles of 20° to 68°. Optimum airspeed and wing−sweep position is 240 knots and approximately 40° wing−sweep. This configu ration increases aircraft angle of attack enough to lower the receiver’s vertical tails below the tanker’s jetwash and decreases bow wave effect. SAS−off tanking can most easily be performed at 200 KCAS with 40° of wing−sweep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
