The F-16’s are missing it. It uses Manual Pitch Override the same as the Eurofighter.

You can see the switch for it in the cockpit.

I’ve been trying for find some documents that show it and talk about it’s functionality but I can’t find any that are suitable. (They show what I need but can’t be used since they are exported restricted and I’m not going to use them for that obvious reason.)

There’s plenty of videos on it from DCS which has it modelled but I don’t think they will accept DCS as evidence. Even though they would have their own evidence for the feature and is far more accurate than WT.

ive heard it only does negative pitch though ? is that true im not hundered percent certain if it exists its in F16 A and C manual whihc you can find on internet archive

5136

DCS also has there own forums someone on there may be able to help and may also already have evidence

5137

Yeah it can always override negative G but it can also override the limiter if the AoA is above 29 degrees.

Also I just found a bug report someone made about it so we just have to wait until either a response to it. Less work for me I guess. Genuinely didn’t think to look for another F-16 model but yeah they all have the same system.
F-16 AoA override missing

5138

let me know if they say yes that would definetly strengthen the case for a bias against the tomcat

Just looking through the bug reports I did find one saying that the JF-17 should have an AoA switch too.
JF17 not getting AOA switch
It does seem to be right as in DCS the JF-17 has an AoA limiter modelled.

I can’t find any reports for it but the Tornado’s should also get an AoA switch too.

the only difference is that one is fully operable with all the things needed in a normal fighter jet and the other one is like dreamworld. lets play a game: you have to say who is who guys. COPE is allowed in this round! FIGHT!!!

Is it too early? Is this season coming soon?

5142

Second major is usually mid-June. So like 7-8 full weeks from now.

Bit early still but we’re getting there.

The lavi looks very unconfortable with a second seat

5144

I just hope for the F-2 this patch.
And for some top tier ling range SPAA for Japan, Italy, Sweden, France and Israel.

Especially Japan, Israël and Italy, since neither of these three have long range SPAA at top tier.

I also really hope for some SPAA for Japan at the br of 6.3, 6.7, 7.3 and 11.0, since they have none…

Will be this year’s Victory Day Event at May would be Oktabriskaya Revolutsiya?
It’s naval event time, and it’s 80th anniversary of Victory Day.

And last year Olivia leaked about Oktabriskaya Revolutsiya.

There is no “bias against the Tomcat”. There are several aircraft in game that had some form of AoA limiter switch in reality that do not in game.

The Devs have said that it is not a reportable feature currently and only the aircraft that have it already are intended to. Those that don’t are either due to extreme flight instability issues that would occur or other technical reasons. But the Tomcat is not alone and it’s certainly not some sort of “bias” against the Tomcat.

5147

When can i await a Dev blog?

Hi!
Got any news on when the AA-20 nords will be fixed?
It’s been months since the reports got accepted and the issue is still in effect for all nord carriers…

No new news at the moment. The reports would generally be updated on the CBR if there was a status update.

5151

@Smin1080p_WT Considering this could be a small update as we had two massive ones in terms of iconic’ness, is their anything that will interest you in this update ?

5152

There are some very cool things :)
