mooshim Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 I was curious about this and a few other details. (not to hijack my own thread but...) 2) Why does night/day switch seem to change color, but the "color" switch seem to have little influence on the text on the HUD? 3) Is there any scenario in which I WOULDN'T want "BOTH" lasers switched on for my TGP? 4) Anti-collision lights seem temperamental--as if it this switch is only switchable under certain conditions. These remain a mystery to me. --Many thanks for help on these [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Win7 | Intel Core 2 Quad | Q8400 @ 2.66GHz | 2.67 GHz 3.37GB of RAM 60gig Samsung SSD| GTX 570 "Operation: Bull by the Horns" "Bull Run 2.0"
Nate--IRL-- Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 1)Air to Air would be a good time not to use PAC 2)Which colour switch? 3)No none that I can think of, unless the enemy has NVGs and can see you targeting something. 4)Anti collision lights only operate when the pinkie switch is set to AFT (IIRC) if the pinkie switch is in another position the Anti Collision light switch back to off, automatically.

Nate--IRL-- Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 4) also switches off when you change power source, ie when you get engine generator power on start up. That seems to resat all of the Automatic switches eg SAS channels. Nate Ka-50 AutoPilot/stabilisation system description and operation by IvanK- Essential Reading
RodBorza Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 1)Air to Air would be a good time not to use PAC Nate Another occasion not to use PAC is when you have a column of vehicles below and you want/need to steer to get them all. With PAC on, the aircraft stays steady on course and doesn't allow much maneuvering. 1 This is an amazing sim! 'Nuff said!:pilotfly: YouTube: SloppyDog

Stretch Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Yeah, definitely keep the IR pointer off if you're playing multiplayer and you don't want to light up your position like a Christmas tree.

Le0kong Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 1)Air to Air would be a good time not to use PAC Since i don't have a two stage trigger, i use two separate buttons, and I remember from previews betas that if in air2air mode, when shooting without the PAC stage, the plane will pitch up. But if i used the two stage i could fire the canon on air2air mode with stability, like air2air in FC2. But i just tried again now on beta 4 and the plane pitch up anyway. Makes shooting distant air targets much more difficult. Is that correct?
