Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

i honestly dont care for cas as if i wanna do cas i take the F15-E What I want is a maneuverable fighter with good weapons that doesn’t stall immediately after 1 turn like F18 id like something like F15-QA which has near supermaneuvrability and great energy retention

PLUS F15-EX just came out its too new its got parts from F35 which would make it far too good right now

TBF its basically the same F-18 the US has so its another 420k rp grind for sweden air for 1 difference, so the 4th times they’ve done this.

still broken

Honestly not even surprised anymore when a fix for a bug doesn’t fix the issue. Seems to be half the things they “fix” nowadays

dude its been three years and peoples cross hairs still get stuck in custom battles whether it be stuck on ground or nose

does anyone know any other vechiles missing AOA button that had it irl other than tomcat im trying to figure out if it is a isolated scenario or not

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

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

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

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.

you mean this one?


or this one?

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?

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

Bit early still but we’re getting there.
