Jammer. Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 @Jammer: Yes, HB is working with ED to make sure the Tomcat is SC compatible. Thanks, but I already know. I wanted to have a status update on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zee Pet Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Kind of off topic but was wondering if anyone can point me to some resources that can help me understand that bypass logic diagram? ||i5-9600k||MSI GTX1070Ti Duke||16GB DDR4 G.SKILL Ripjaws V||Gigabyte Aorus B360||X56|| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustBelt Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 It's a pretty basic Circuit Diagram. flow is left to right along each of those logic lines. If it makes it all the way to the right it sends the +24v to the MCB Solenoid opening the MCB Bypass from the Compressor section into the Bypass section of the engine case. SO times you would have the 7th stage Bypass open would be: (From the bottom up) Being over Mach 2.1 According to the Mach Lever Gun or Missile Firing and 5 seconds after Refuel Probe Extended Any point over Mach 0.9 According to the AICS Ramp 3 switch in the intake and Throttle MIL or less. Landing Gear Handle Down and throttle below MIL Landing Gear Handle Down and Throttle above Afterburner Stage 4 AICS Fail signal plus 3 seconds after signal stops Rudder Deflected more than 10 degrees AND Landing Gear Up and Locked plus 3 seconds after signal stops. AoA greater than 16 degrees AND Landing Gear Up and Locked plus 3 seconds after signal stops. And any time AICS is working and says speed is above Mach 0.5 the graph below is used for AoA vs Mach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zee Pet Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Ohhh that does make sense/seem pretty simple. Thanks a lot RustBelt! ||i5-9600k||MSI GTX1070Ti Duke||16GB DDR4 G.SKILL Ripjaws V||Gigabyte Aorus B360||X56|| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrightie Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 May 16th will be the 50th anniversary of the Tomcat’s first flight.

Quid Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I know this sounds like a daft question but i always thought the Tomcat first flew on the 21st December 1970. Did the Tomcat fly before that? It was 21 December 1970. The movie Top Gun had its general theatrical release 16 May 1986 (first screening was 4 days before in NYC). Sounds like the two dates got confused.

Steve Gee Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Work continues steadily. The B will get the EIG for the engine gauges. The A will keep the gauges that are currently in. Will that change/upgrade, the EIG, happen at the same time as the A's debut or will it be phased in as a update if it's ready before the A's released?

What I can say atm is that it will not come before the A, but I cannot promise you that it will come exactly together with the A, even if that is the plan for now.

phant Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 All is good for now gents, Cobra will be back shortly and then we will get everything back on track asap. Thank you for your kind patience. On 31.03 you announced that the following week some news about the Tomcat package (aircraft carriers, etc ...) would be published. After Cobra's stop (and his return) do you have a new date (or estimate)? Thanks in advance! Bye Phant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uxi Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Do you think there's room to optimize for Supercarrier? I did notice pronounced glitching like a frame skip on the communications transitions (see you at 10, etc). I'll see if it does it on Hornet, tonight (ED didn't do an instant action for Case I or quals, thanks much HB!)

I'll see if it does it on Hornet, tonight (ED didn't do an instant action for Case I or quals, thanks much HB!) Yes, I noticed pronounced performance problems with VR/F14/SC as well. @HB could you list the missions that use the SC? Patch notes say you made a bunch of SC missions but they are indistinguishable in the missions menu. Also, do you have any plans to make a Cage the Bear version with SC? I am looking for things to do with SC and F14 and dont dare to hop on multiplayer after I saw the performance ;) Kein Anderer als ein Jäger spürt, Den Kampf und Sieg so konzentriert.

draconus Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 SC missions are specifically described as requiring SC module in Instant Action menu. The other 2 are MP/coop.

Jmontezuma Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 So how long after F-14A can we expect that A-6E as full fidelity module. ;) Really though a Heatblur quality Intruder would make my head explode. You guys have done an outstanding job on the Tomcat and Viggen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys have done an outstanding job on the Tomcat and Viggen. I agree, after they finish the cat the Intruder (or some F-4 variant) would be the most sensible options since it fits so well into the infrastructure and ecosystem they've established with the Tomcat.
