hassata Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Not to mention the fact, weapons don't fall through your plane. Accidentely I have bombed myself in the air during my first bombing practice. The first couple of MK-82s went on targets nicely, but on the third run I was in a hurry to get the pipper on the target and somehow I flew into the released bombs lol And that has actually happened IRL!

-Nighthawk- Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 1 really cool thing I liked was when I hit the ground hard and the wheels fell off the screen shaked and went all black / grey, added a really cool effect. Also, when going straight up into the air and the aircraft stalls, all electrical /engine systems failed and I had to glide the plane to landing, that's the type of challenges I love. And another, the seat can go up and down :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracer2k Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 SLATS. I didn't even know they have modeled them. How cool is that? i haven't tried it out, but i read somewhere that the slats open when you fire the cannon to prevent the gun fumes to enter in to the engines..

Hmmm.. That's possible. That I know of, the ignitors are firing when the gun is fired, if they wouldn't, the engine would stall.

sobek Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 IIRC the slats also help preventing engine flameouts during high G/AoA turns. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airdog Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 IIRC the slats also help preventing engine flameouts during high G/AoA turns. Not to be a stickler...but I see no slats on the A10...I do see some strakes that could redirect airflow. Slats are normally movable surfaces on the leading edge of the wing...I see no such thing on the A10c here. ??? or am i missing something here?

Avilator Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 i haven't tried it out, but i read somewhere that the slats open when you fire the cannon to prevent the gun fumes to enter in to the engines.. The slats have nothing to do with gun gas getting into the engines. As MTFDarkEagle said, the engine igniters are active while firing and a few seconds after. The slats have everything to do with the airflow into the engines during high AoA situations, as sobek said. I only respond to that little mechanical voice that says "Terrain! Terrain! Pull Up!

Loz Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Man, you went all technical on me :D Yea It would perhaps have been enough to state that a rapid forward acceleration is perceived to be a pitch up, caused by the affect on the semi circular canals in your balance organs (in the ear) Hence, if you've noticed, on carrier launches the pilot keeps his hand away from the stick, so as not to be tempted to "stop the pitch up" and consequently push the stick forward (bad idea) :thumbup: i9 9900x at 5.1 Ghz // ASUS ROG Maximus XI Formula EK Bloc // 64Gb Corsair Vengence 3600Mhz DDR4 Ram // Gigabyte Aorus 3090 Watercooled block//Samsung SM951 M2 x4 SSD // Windows 10 64 Bit //48inch LG48 @ 3840x2160 120Hz//Asus ROG Swift PG35VQ 3440 x 14440 144Hz // TM Warthog HOTAS (Ser.

Necroscope Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 so as not to be tempted to "stop the pitch up" and consequently push the stick forward (Offtop enabled) This is exactly what I've done after my Instructor said - "Now we are climbing to gain some altitude. And we are going to test the ... weightlessness right ... about .... NOW!" - And suddenly push our Yak-18T in 45deg dive. I've unconsciously push the stick full-forward with all my might. Thanx God the stick was already full-forwarded and there was a lot of time to take my hand back. Instructor said nothing. Shame on me :) (Offtop disabled) SFME Всех убью, один останусь!

Georgio Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 What I've noticed which is cool is that when engaging an armoured column, instead of blindly carrying on as you pick them off with Mavs, they actually get off the road and disperse making your job much harder. A few minutes later when they think you've gone the survivors get the hell out of dodge which is just about when another Mav is incoming :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the leading edge between the fuselage and the wheel pod (just inboard of that strake). They're not terribly obvious in a lot of photos, particularly in 3-tone camo pictures.

recoil17 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 You can see the second stage rockets firing on SAM's. I'm not sure what SAM it is but I found saw it in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqIntuu0Cb8 At 4:37 you can see the sam launch and a second or two later a second rocket kicks in. Pretty cool "Simultaneous selection of fuel dump and afterburner during high AOA maneuvering may cause fuel to ignite with resulting fuselage damage."

Check6 Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 not very realistic as the pilots helmet would cancel these sounds out, maybe in external views hear these effects more, real life pilot only hear radio chatter static , and ever so slight engine whine inpit. Actually you can hear and more importantly feel the gear transition in every thing I've ever flown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Check6 Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 I found it. It's 0.75 mach. It really does tend to want to pitch down after you pass this mach number in the game. That's pretty cool. Are you speaking in reference to Mach Tuck , the speed depends on the airframe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Actually you can hear and more importantly feel the gear transition in every thing I've ever flown. I never heard or felt the gear go up or down in my F-16 flight. I didn't even know we went into AB until I felt the acceleration and the pilot said we were in AB.

Grimes Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Something important to remember is that while flying in game, unless you do something major to effect the flight dynamics, there is no easy way to "feel" very slight changes. Unless you have some wicked-sick setup you are always playing the game at 1-g. Sound effects play a crucial role in attempting to convey a feeling. This is why your landing gear has a somewhat loud and obvious "grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-che-chunk" whenever you are raising or lowering the gear. Its why you hear a faint "chek" whenever you release a bomb. Not saying that you wouldn't hear sounds like that in the real thing, just saying that it helps magnify the fact that you dropped a bomb or your landing gear is all the way down. The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.
