Two F-15C questions

[Alexrey]

I still can't find the brake light. :( Could someone maybe upload a screenshot to show me where it is?

Circled in yellow :)

It can also be useful to get a joystick

where you can have a toggle switch

that is either stuck in on or off position.

 

Helps so that you wont forget.

Or set up a script to automatically send a "drop speedbrake" command when full throttle is applied.

This is really good, think i will use it for some games where

my toggle doesn't work like I want it to.

 

thx konkussion!

For the F-15, the airbrake is dropped once a certain AoA is exceeded in RL.

[S77th-konkussion]

Thank Ruggbutt. He set it up.

Thanks for the pic Mustang!

 

I have more questions, and since they seem to keep on coming I've decided to change the topic title. :P

 

4) I've noticed that some people online use AIM-120s and AIM-7s in the same payload. I thought that everyone used only AIM-120s. What's good about the AIM-7 that makes them use it?

 

5) I remember GGTharos said something about the RWR/RWS not being gyro-stabalised, and that's why the position of the bandit changes positions on the RWR/RWS when you go from a bank to level flight. Would it be easy to fix this problem in the v1.13 patch? It would help so much in close combat situations!

[S77th-konkussion]

Safety is one reason. Slammers tend to take a mind of their own for no apparent reason in lock on- even after a hard lock. The Sparrows must be guided to termination. Helpful if friendlies are in the area- especially if you are trying to help out a teammate gone defensive. It would suck to kill him because he presents a better target (in lomac's warped missile logic) than the more distant enemy does.

On top off what Konkussion said, I carry them just for the sake of authenticity. I'm not sure what the current default load for an F-15C is at this point, but I know that in the past it has included 2 Sparrows. As for why the USAF does this, most likely for what Konkussion said and maybe because they're cheaper and more plentiful? I'm not totally sure.

[S77th-konkussion]

I'm not confident that this is true today- but it certainly was the case in the not too distant past.

[GGTharos]

I believe these days it's six and two (120, 9) ... 7's are now used for live-fire training.
