"Flying the Flanker"--Flight Journal, Aug, 1999


Recommended Posts

I was looking for something else when I ran across this article. Very interesting read. In case I'm not the only one who has never seen this article: Flying the Flanker by Ed Kolano (Marine test pilot).

'For years, I heard fellow pilots complain that the most difficult part of flying jets is getting them started, but once the chocks have been removed, they behave like any other airplane. Su-27 pilots can't make that claim. Its automation makes for an uncomplicated engine start and post-start process. Engine start up is a matter of placing the throttles in the idle position and tapping the start switches. The rest is automatic.'

 

RWin+Home ain't too far from realism after all.:D

Very nice.

 

@frost1e: I was thinking the same thing when I read that. lol

 

I also noticed how lock on isn't all that far off the mark either. (maybe it's just me)

DCS Wishlist: 1) FIX THE DAMN RIVERS!!! 2) Spherical or cylindrical panorama view projection. 3) Enhanced input options (action upon button release, etc). 4) Aircraft flight parameter dump upon exit (stick posn, attitude, rates, accel, control volume, control-surface positions, SAS bias, etc). 5) ADS-33 maneuver courses as static objects. 6) Exposed API or exports of trim position and stick force for custom controllers. 7) Select auto multiple audio devices
