I saw it in a film about Pearl Harbour.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rox Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Some really good/rareish footage of some of Russia's newest (versions of) aircraft, inside and out. Su-25SM3 and the Black Hawk-ish Mi-8 version MTV5 feature most prominently, but also Mi-28, Su-34 and half a dozen of other types. Comes at the steep cost of having to tolerate the white phosphorus chain smoking narrator and his superlative bullshitting. Also, man they shoot rockets from far away. I'm gonna try that split-S rocket run from kilometers of altitude in the DCS Su-25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluBear Posted April 12, 2021 Author Share Posted April 12, 2021 Great vid thanks mate! I do enjoy Hadfield's insights. One point I noticed, on his pre-flight checks he wheeled the elevator trim to one division up. I've always followed the manual with one division down. Could this be to compensate for the possible differing CofG / weight of a non-combat Spit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingflyr Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Depends on the stick your using BB I guess. I use a Warthog Thrustmaster and find one notch up is ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum DD_Fenrir Posted April 13, 2021 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted April 13, 2021 There's a desync between FFB effects and physical stick position when using input curves - the FFB effects always follow a 1:1 linear path whatever your input curve might be. Because my custom input curve is so coarse in the Spitfire it really exacerbates this effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluBear Posted April 13, 2021 Author Share Posted April 13, 2021 Good points chaps, but I suppose my question really was why Hadfield diverges from the pilot's notes, leaving DCS out of it for a moment. I shall have to check other in-cockpit vids to see what other RL pilots do in modern day Spitfire flying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD_Arthur Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I wonder how much weight is saved by taking out the guns, ammo, armour plate, oxygen, self-sealing fuel tanks and the original radio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluBear Posted April 13, 2021 Author Share Posted April 13, 2021 That's what I'm thinking, however surely they'd try to keep the CofG as close to operational as possible to ensure correct flight characteristics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
