[REPORTED]Inadequate parking spots at Bandar Abbas

[Hardcard]

J spots at Bandar Abbas airbase (north, inside hangars) seem to be inadequate for some aircraft (fulcrum, frogfoot, etc.)

 

The hangars are walled, leaving only minimal room for turning... problem is that some aircraft are incapable of performing tight turns while taxiing (such as the fulcrum and the frogfoot).

 

 

This is how close the wall is on spawn:

 

 

 

This is the required turn:

 

 

 

 

This is what the plane is capable of:

 

 

 

 

Antenna gone:

 

 

 

 

Aircraft quantum tunneling:

 

 

 

 

 

Seems to me that those walls need to go...

Hi

 

we do have this reported internally, thank you

[AeriaGloria]

You can press the lock button for high gain NWS in MiG-29 just FYI

@BIGNEWY

Alright, thanks for telling me.

 

Is there any public list of reported issues we can check before reporting stuff?

 

 

@AeriaGloria

 

What do you mean by "lock button"? The brake lock?

 

If you mean the NWS button, that doesn't seem to do anything when pressed, unlike the F15C... unless it's only meant to enable/disable NWS, like the flanker's NWS switch.

 

EDIT: Alright, the NWS button does work...but only when flaps are up!!!:doh:

The same button you use for radar or EOS lock.

@AeriaGloria

 

Thanks for your input, the problem was that I always taxi with flaps down, so NWS doesn't work.

 

The lock button seems to do the same as the NWS button... as long as flaps are up!

Never realized there was a NWS keybind. Yes flaps must be up to activate the HIGH gain mode NWS. It came just after the PFM was added so not super well known. https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3682826&postcount=34

Tested last night @latest beta. No problems with either Frogfoot or Fulcrum to taxi out & make the turn. Flaps should be deployed on the runway.

Using high gain NWS makes that tight turn possible on the fulcrum, but it's still pretty tight, those walls are still a pointless obstacle.

 

On the frogfoot that turn is even tighter, since the plane doesn't have high gain NWS like the fulcrum does (also, the nosewheel on that thing is easily broken in tight turns).

Making the turn on the frogfoot is possible, sure, but the problem shifts to the interior wingtip getting stuck on the hangar while making the turn... like I said, those walls are a pointless obstacle that make an easy thing hard.

These walls are there IRL. No reason to remove them and they're not pointless. You can't place bigger aircraft there for a reason.

Move slowly, start turning only after wingtip points at the door frame. There's no problem or bug here. If you want easy way - start elsewhere.

IRL they also have tugs, which maybe we will get with the new supercarrier module.
