I had a two ship flight with an instructor. So ITT was in check!

Lucky bastard!

Yes, but RTFM does help indeed!

I actually burned through a lot of engines before I bothered to read the manual.

I had the opposite experience: I found the emergency procedures section of the manual really enjoyable… it gave more purpose to flying a trainer on DCS, here is part of my journey on that subject:

I forgot how stable the C-101 was as a ground attack platform. I just did a quick ground attack mission today and even without using it for a long while, it was like using easy mode.

Wow, that is actually a very good thread! It deserves more attention! The devs really put a lot of effort in this part of the simulation!

Oh, I agree with that. I also find emergency procedures enjoyable, and I did all your C-101 missions.
But when the engine's broken, it's broken.

I love this little plane, my only recommendation, if you weren´t told before, is to fly with 50% fuel or even less, unless you are planning on a 6 hour flight  Its fuel capacity is insane and having less soup makes a big difference, specially on takeoffs

Yeah, I got the memo.

It is really a nice quality module. Unfortunately the maintenance department confused the engine with a hairdryer.

Ha!

It's really not that bad. I think it's the noise it makes more than anything. It almost sounds like a toy or a model aircraft.

Did you see the CC has a  "Manual Power Reserve", (MPR), switch that gives it a little more kick? It's easy to miss.

It's no afterburner, but it does help a bit.

@Rudel_chw Do you know what the the „F“ in the controls overlay stands for?

It is labeled as control_priority. My guess would be, "(F)ront"? Or, off/nothing is displayed there if the rear seat has priority.

Unfortnately, the real C-101 sounds like that ... I tried the Mod suggested by @Daemoc and must admit that I like the change, even if not realistic 

 

 

listen for yourself:

 

 

 

Cheers!

Thanks  ... I just tested it in flight and it seems to just indicate which cockpit is the player currently using:  F(front) or R (rear). Don't know if in multiplayer it works differently.

I was referring more to the thrust than to the sound….

The Sound reminds me of an airliner engine. Especially from the low pressure side.

really? ... the "hairdryer" expression threw me off

well, one comes with the other I guess.

It‘s no F-16, that‘s for sure. But I didn’t expect it to be - I was just joking around.

But I am very impressed with the sophisticated systems of the little bird and the impressive depth to which they are modeled!

I was initially thinking that I was buying it to shelve it (to fill the blancs in my collection), but now I think I will actually use it to do some instruments and pattern training and some recreational flights.

And I was never really into the whole failure procedure stuff, but your thread and the Extend to which they are modeled here may make me try it.

Nice to see such a lively discussion about the trainers.  I've been a C-101 fanboi since Jan 2015.

It was the first module I tried in the first "Free to Play" ever. I immediately fell in love and didn't even wait to purchase it.

Have you tried the training missions? They have even modeled an annoyed instructor. At least I seem to annoy the hell out of him.  

@Rudel_chw has made some nice missions, of course! Thanks again!

Yeah, once you get hooked on procedures, there's no turning back!

Yeah, us trainer fanboys are a niche in a niche in a niche!

I'm only a C-101 fanboi so I'm a niche in a niche in a niche in a niche.   Although, the L-39 was pretty fun when I trialed it.
