Golo Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) @IronMike There is a issue with engines autothrottling to 90RPM when AOA is above 17 units (uncommanded). Issue is both if configured to land (L/G down and everything) and cleaned. Any time throttle is between idle and 90RPM if above 17AOA engines will spool up to 90RPM, physicaly moving throttles past 90RPM will spool engines past 90. At no point I touched autothrottle switch (remained at boost position). Checked F-14A only. Can you guys check?

BreaKKer Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) Just messed with the new Forrestal in some Case Is, and I noticed that with DLC out, the nose climbs considerably compared to what it was. It's interesting to see my muscle memory with the aft DLC not working anymore, seeing as how the nose goes the complete opposite way. It's definitely weird to have DLC aft and foward both put the nose up Edited October 21, 2021 by BreaKKer 1 BreaKKer CAG and Commanding Officer of: Carrier Air Wing Five // VF-154 Black Knights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only adjust the red backlighting via the instruments wheel, but the white digital tapes are always full brightness. I didn't run a night mission yet but they seem kinda dim in daylight. Do they change with instrument or console lighting? My bindings are all jacked up and haven't redone those yet. Case I on the Forrestal kicked my butt mostly because the power changes are throwing me off and I had 5 or 6 bolters in a row. Finally got down. Kinda ugly lol. I mean it's well textured but it's definitely a dirty and grimy carrier. The SC are probably too clean. Would have loved to see what HB could do with Enterprise. Maybe I'll go back to hoping ED will do it for the Supercarrier. I did get down fine on the Truman in the A after spanking the Flanker (lol at the rename of the IA) and was still able to refuel fine from the S3. Then I did the Syria IA Case I with the F-14B and that was fine, too though the spooldown effect meant I had to the throttle way down. Also had to slightly tweak the curve on my throttle because max mil was engaging AB. Probably due to the engine retune after the aero changes.

Probably due to the engine retune after the aero changes. Wouldn't recommend. The cans will light if throttles get advanced quickly, that is normal. If you inch your throttles forward, then they will not light below mil power. If you slam them, you will see ABs light at surprisingly low RPMs. 1 Heatblur Simulations Please feel free to contact me anytime, either via PM here, on the forums, or via email through the contact form on our homepage. http://www.heatblur.com/ https://www.facebook.com/heatblur/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattag08 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) Flap behavior seems abnormal, but I'll defer to Victory for final comment. Pitching moment should be down for flaps retraction and up for flaps extension. I know the horizontal stab is auto adjusted to smooth these out. Currently, both flaps retract and extend cause a nose up pitching moment (flaps retract is much greater than flaps extend). Seems excessive and backwards. I can get the nose to climb to 20-30 degrees by just cycling the flaps...

I have 3d printed detents for a Virpil T-50CM v3 (last of original big base). Previous curve was -15 but had to adjust to -12. Did careful deliberate test in the F-14A when I heard the popping. Only briefly played F-14B last night but did confirm they didn't light at my throttles physical mil limit after that.

Console lighting doesn't affect it. I like a dark cockpit at night and the tapes are the brightest thing in my pit. I don't know if you've ever flown the F-18 module, but it's similar to flying at night with the Day setting on, and the IEFI panel white and unable to be dimmed.

Victory205 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I was waiting for this one.

The initial part of main flap extension causes a pitch up, followed by a pitch down. There is a reference to it in NATOPS handling characteristics if you want to read further about the trim offsets. Right now, the pitch down portion in the sim is there, but it is a little weak. 1 Viewpoints are my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
