They call it a "Bearing Distance Heading Indicator", but it's a fancy RMI yes. ILS localisers are not omnidirectional so RMI-esque instruments shouldn't point at them ( and Azurpoly acknowledged it's a bug - it's also a bug in most MSFS aircraft! ), not sure about the dot on the EHSI though, whether that's some fancy synthesized bearing indicator when you're in the lobes or just the default avionics section thinking it's a VOR. I still haven't got round to flying the mission, I must.

So, I have probably and quite unknowingly seen you and a student pilot a few times! Is there a Hawker Hunter in MSFS or as as an add-on as I would love to see you do a similar sortie in one.

I would like if the systems instruments etc are functioning properly so its some kind of challenge as well! :) ( I have been in the aviation industry for many years as an civilian aircraft technician, and trained a lot of pilots and technicians on technical ground school for type ratings etc. and also hold an US SEL but have not been current the last 15 years, haha so flightsim suits me fine now :) Thanks ! David, Sweden.

@cgaviator Жыл бұрын

Thanks so much! My pleasure. Best jets, maybe it’s time for me to make a video on that. But if I had to buy 3 right now, I’d have F35 for level of detail, model variants and VTOL abilities. The Hawk T1 of course as it’s slightly older school, less tech but great systems depth. But it suffers from some buggy handling characteristics and needs that fixing for a good handling experience. For a third aircraft, hmmm, somewhere between Harrier by DC Design, Typhoon by CJ Sim, and MB339 by indiafoxtecho as an alternative to the Hawk 👍🏻

Hey Chris, lovely mission! I still strugge a bit with the Trall due to the lack of IFR navigation capabilities (why didn't they just put a GNS530 in there at the navigators station until their FMS comes around? - or at least fix the ability to actually track VORs and navigate outbound), but it's a lot of fun on any mission involving visual navigation! With the basic VOR to VOR that it can do at the moment I flew it up north for some tankering missions and supply drops.

@cgaviator Жыл бұрын

I have to admit, it suits my flight style nicely! 😅 I’m not sure of their team’s makeup and what’s involved in gps integrations. Think they’re wanting to keep it authentic.

the hawk has a bit of a buggy trim system, it's too sensitive to pitch changes and hard to get it to trim perfectly. Not really a video I can produce to fix that as even I struggle with it.

@@cgaviator Indeed, it's the low pressure turbine speed, 15250 for full throttle /Take off. There was also a lower rpm used (14500) to reduce the wear of the engines.

All the info will be on the RAF careers website. It's been a while since I went through the process. Usually it's 5 GCSEs then 2 A Levels all grade C or better. If you go through Uni first (strongly advised but optional) then you get quick promotion to Flt Lt and much better pay. Just make sure you fill your down time between semesters and after class with so team type extra curricular stuff.

Although strictly an ameteure and a rule breaker (all of them),I do like to use radio but do wish Asobo or whomever deals wiyh it,would get the British terminology sorted.I assume flight following is equivalent to our basic service.I have complained on the microsoft ticket site but so far to no avail.................................

Flight following would be Traffic Service I think. Basic service is a very low priority and wouldn't work in busy airspace around large airfields in the US.

I heard this plane is awful, not working autopilot , problems with flight plan and other crap and that keeps me away from buying that. And no recent reviews on youtube.

It’s one of the most enjoyable aircraft out there. Very versatile. They’ve since updated it though I can’t tell you how much extra detail is in there. It’s probably in my top 3, definitely top 5 fav models 👍🏻
