FC2 Online Help Errata

[Renato71]

Hi,

You may be interested into some typos/errors spotted in online help...

 

Page: LockOn: Flaming Cliffs 2

General problem when displaying double quotes of this type:

 “Vikhr”

See pic, as when I copy/paste here, they are displayed properly (bb versus hrtml code?). Any browser.

 

Section: Territory

Krasnodarksy Krai -> Krasnodarsky Krai,

 

Section: 3D models

Leopart 1A3 -> Leopard

Stela-1, Sterla-10 -> Strela

 

Ballistic gun systems

Gh-301, GSh-30 -> GSh-301?

A little typo in FC2.0 FAQ:

 

-New terrain area to include much of Georgia. This will be same map as used in DCS: Blacks Shark.

[const]

All information corrected. Thank you!

[Distiler]

Also some videos of training lessons are missing. For example Su-27 doppler radar or su-25t sead, etc and those are in ED youtube channel.

They've created a menus first and are updating content from time to time. I keeping my eye on those pages :D

I think some errors are also here.

1. Introduction: changing direction with pitch, roll and yaw

 

...

17. You can also change the aircraft’;s direction by the using rudder controls. Pushing the left pedal or pressing "Z" on the keyboard will yaw the nose to the left and pushing the right pedal or pressing "X" on the keyboard will yaw the nose to the right.

 

3. Aileron roll

 

...

1. Welcome to the Aileron Roll training flight aboard the MiG-29. You can take control of the aircraft or exit the mission at any time by pressing the “ESC” key. To pause the lesson, press the “PAUSE” key.

...

8. Now it’s time for you to try an aileron roll. Press the “ESC” key to take over control of the aircraft.

 

5. Visual Landing

 

...

9. When airspeed drops to 320 km/h, extend the flaps to “full flaps” by pressing "Shift-F" and increase engine power to 70%.

30. Shkval electro-optical targeting system (Part 1)

 

...

17.The lower part of the Weapons Readiness Panel contains three windows that display the amount of ammunition remaining as follows:

-outer external gun pods

-inner external gun pods

-internal gun

Note, that the ammunition remaining is displayed in quarters using the following symbology:

"K" – fully loaded

"3/4" – 75% remaining

"1/2" – 50% remaining

"H3" (Russian "NZ") -- Low

"////" – None

 

 

30. Shkval electro-optical targeting system (Part 2)

 

...

24.Adjust the size of the targeting box on the TVM to enclose the intended target by pressing "RCTRL +" and "RCTRL –" in steps or "RLAT +" and "RALT -" for smooth control.

 

 

31. Guns and Rockets (Part 2)

 

...

39.The lower part of the WCS Panel contains three windows that display the amount of ammunition remaining as follows:

-outer external gun pods

-inner external gun pods

-internal gun

Note that the ammunition remaining is displayed in quarters:

"K" – fully loaded

"3/4" – 75% remaining

"1/2" – 50% remaining

"H3" (Russian "NZ") -- Low

"////" -- None

 

 

33. Laser-Guided Missiles (Part 1)

 

...

13.Adjust the size the targeting box by pressing "RCTRL –" and "RCTRL +" for steps or "RALT –" RALR +" for smoother control. The desirable size for most ground vehicle targets will be around 10 m.

1. Introduction: changing direction with pitch, roll and yaw

3. This will be an introductory lesson describing some of the flight information presented on the Heads Up Display (HUD. and essential flight control in pitch, roll, and yaw.

9. The left side of the HUD displays a digital readout of the indicated airspeed (IAS. in knots (nautical miles per hour. .

10. The right side of the HUD displays a digital readout of the barometric altitude above sea level (ASL. .

20. Take note of our current flight parameters. We are flying at 5,000 feet and accelerating to 300 knots on a heading of 360. As we climb and dive, monitor the pitch ladder, the altitude display on the right side of the HUD, and the indicated airspeed (IAS. on the left side of the HUD.

Thank you all for feedback

 

Thank you all for the feedback - we've corrected the errors.

The absent videos are in process of creation...

Su-25T

All titles for Introduction (Part 1-3) are wrongly numbered 26 instead of 29

4.To take control of the aircraft or exit the mission at anytime, you can press the "ECS" key. <- ESC

38.You can take control or exit the mission by pressing the "ECS" key. <- ESC

[Renato71]

Su-25T

 

29.If you need to make adjustments to the held attitude, you can temporarily disengage the autopilot by pressing and holding down the "LALT + ~" (tilde).

When released, the current altitude will be commanded to the autopilot to be maintained.

 

Isn't it ATTitude in this part of lesson?

 

7.Let's take a look at the Weapon Readiness Panel.

8.The yellow lights indicate weapon stations that are loaded.

9.A green light indicate stores carried on that station.

 

8 and 9 are the same, and 9 is opposite to Flight Manual:

3-48: Weapons status panel

 The yellow lamps in the upper row indicate weapon availability and presence on hardpoint stations. When ordnance is launched or released, the corresponding yellow lamp goes dark.

 The green lamps in the lower row indicate currently selected weapons that are ready for launch or release.

 

21.The sensor can be slewed horizontally and vertically by using the ";" "." ";" "/" keys. <- [,], [.], [/], [;] keys (on US keyboard layout only)

 

21.Press E to activate the internal jammer. <- external jammers

Su-25: Introduction and navigation

2.The Su-25 is powered by two Tumanskiy R-195 non-afterburning turbojet engines that provide a total thrust of up to 9,000 kg., which allows the aircraft to reach speeds of up to 970 km/h at low altitudes and 0.8 Mach at altitude. The maximum range of the Su-25 is 1,250 km/h with a maximum ceiling of 7,000 m. <- no dot after kg; km

25. Su-25: Guns and Unguided Rockets (Part 1)

Su-27

 

17.The scan zone can be shifted 30 degrees to the right by pressing RShift , or 30 degrees to the left by pressing RShift /. <- quotes for better readability

 

19.Press RAlt + and RAlt to enter the anticipated target range. The range value is displayed at the bottom of the HUD.

 

(Also related to possible erros in manual: )

 

In Keycommands_Su-27_EN.pdf:

- - RCtrl Radar Scan Zone Decrease

= - RCtrl Radar Scan Zone Increase

= - RAlt Target Specified Size Increase

- - RAlt Target Specified Size Decrease

But this is not what this commands are doing. RCtrl-/= changes anticipated distance in steps, and RAlt -/= fine tunes anticipated distance.

Su-27 has no command related to target size.

20.Press RShift ; and RShift . to enter the anticipated altitude difference between yourself and the target. <- "RShift ;" and "RShift ."

25.The radar has three primary modes that can be cycled by pressing Rshift I. <- "RShift + I"

29.The radar also has two detection modes that can be cycled by pressing RAlt i. <- "RAlt + I"

 

Items 34-61 are also missing quotes for keycommands.
