Istari6 Posted yesterday at 12:41 AM Posted yesterday at 12:41 AM (edited) (First, apologies if this has already been answered in another thread. I skimmed all thread titles and didn't see this mentioned, trying not to read through each topic to avoid any spoilers for the campaign) I just completed the 1st mission (teaching STR, ITR, Loop and The Egg). Loving Reflected's careful attention to detail, teaching us exactly how to execute these different maneuvers in terms of precise speeds, AoA, etc. The solution of flipping the auxiliary switch to "lock out the slats" is a great solution to give us "hard wing" F-4B/J handling. However, I'm wondering how to apply these lessons when I return to my slatted F-4E after this campaign. Do I just add 5 units AoA for each maneuver? (e.g. instead of 15-16 AoA for STR, hold 20-21 in the F-4E). There's the Top Gun concept of "you fight like you train", and want to be sure I adjust my lessons so I'm not flying "hard wing" style later when the E might be max performed with different numbers. I came across the following chart in the forums which apparently comes from a McDonnell Douglas brochure about the F-4E: Edited yesterday at 12:43 AM by Istari6
Solution Reflected Posted 17 hours ago Solution Posted 17 hours ago Very good question, and I don't know the answer. I just fly my E like I'd fly a B except it's more forgiving. Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord
Istari6 Posted 7 hours ago Author Posted 7 hours ago (edited) OK, thanks for the quick response! Given that diagram above, I may try seeing if I can get an extra 5 AoA on the aircraft when I'm flying the E and have it perform equally to the "hard wing" in this campaign. Only at the 3rd mission (just learned Lag Pursuit, Lag Roll and Butterfly Setup), but it's a fantastic campaign so far. Great job. Edited 7 hours ago by Istari6 1
