I don't know what happened but when I lock (Depress) on TDC I don't get the STT Circle.

Is there any way to keep the mavericks warmed up if you need to switch to another weapons system, like shrikes or bombs?

You could reduce your turn radius by pulling back on your power.

Cannot afford the full setup - question - is it worth purchasing the UFC/HUD panel alone? You commented how they are integrated well together and I see that. Is one piece just not the same without the entire setup? Would mean a mix of mouse to cockpit button and the physical UFC... not sure it's worth it in long run. Thoughts?

Looks interesting. Would love to see it but with vr controls for the camera like battle group vr or something

Lame Game

I have to agree, best instruction video I have seen. Much thanks

Now this looks cool

Nobody is going to fly this...

I think this game has a lot of potential, but there's some missing features and design that hold it back. For example, you should really be able to aileron roll to change your canopy position with minimal displacement to your velocity vector prior to a pull. Like you said, there's some of this now, but the roll rate seems artificially low. It would also be nice to be able to execute unloaded dives, since they can be so important in getting speed back on for a low-energy aircraft. More importantly, the game seems to "back load" your turns, executing your control input changes at the rear end of the momentum path. While this is efficient, there are times where you want to blend together several short and aggressive maneuvers together. I think this is probably the most important component missing in my mind. It also feels like the game is crying out for a visibility system. There's a board game called "Birds of Prey" by Ad Astra games that nailed this element of it. I think it's missing here. Doing a zero respect belly pass to an opponent at the merge should have very real (and potentially fatal) consequences if you're not able to pick the bandit up on the other side of the turn. Thanks for sharing it. There's definitely room for improvement, but I'm still looking forward to it.

Great job on the cinematics at the end.

Man...that does look cool Did you guys ever play, back in the day (and I am dating myself here), Air Superiority and Air Strike? They could definitely make a similar game but with Cold War era fighters, etc.

Reminds me of the game “Achtung Spitfire” 😅, welcome back and hope you are all better now!

So cool! Thank you for playing! Really happy you are still interested after a playtest lol

This actually looks extremely cool, I'll have to check this out for sure. Thanks for the video!

Hey everyone, unfortunately I've been quite ill the last ~month and content has been lacking as a result. So we're easing back in with a quick game I'm interested in! Coming soon I want to return to the F-4e Pave Spike and get that finished off, then move onto other systems, along with some upcoming hardware.

I just realized that i naturally sleep in the recovery position

This helped me a lot tonight. thanks

no heel support... no go for me.

what a fucking pile of shit i cant get this pos pave spike to laser for the fucking hell of it 12 hours in still trying to get it to work from front seat and fuck all. Fuck this. what a joke.

love the phantom hate the complexity to doing the most basic of tasks

great vid, and yes im late to the party again. Does anyone know if the Phantom can do Drop gpus for others lasing? just wondering how i could get my release cue if i was dropping onto someones elses laser? Looking at using the Kiowa to lase some targets and use Phantom to drop some LGBs from high altitude.

For me i cant enable thrust vectoring, can anyone help?

Nice ending haha

Hey, can I ask a question? After firing a D maverick, the next one will only lock in wide FOV mode. Switching to narrow FOV mode it will not lock. Am I doing something wrong?

Everyone used to the F-16C, F-15E, and F/A-18C pods are in for a wake-up, lol. And I think even the F-14B even gets a Litning pod.

Thanks, how do you jettison fuel tanks prior to using the mavericks? Or can you not?

Also make sure Jester did not activate AI2AIR mode in the back cockpit. I couldn't get video until I realized that button was pressed.

Do you need targeting pod for mavericks?

Followed that amazing guide (as usual!) to the dot but couldn't get my bombs to track for the life of me. Turns out if you set a different laser code than 1688 in the mission editor (or via rearming menu) the bombs are still on 1688. This is a known issue according to the Heatblur discord. The only way to use a different laser code is via the ground crew menu.

Can you do a control mapping for the F4 if possible. I’m losing my mind trying to figure out why I really need and what I don’t outside of the obvious flight controls

Does the target have to fit within the crosshairs to acheive a lock? If im 2-3 miles from the target, a tank that is slightly than the crosshair boundary is impossible to lock. I know its a little close to fire them, but it doesnt feel like its pushing the envelope of the missiles tracking too hard

My Maverick screen is so dark and can barely pick up targets even up close (within 10miles), they're just showing up and smudged blobs, I don't get it. I've tried switching the black hot and white hot switch in the back and that made no difference. Any suggestions? I use the default hot start brightness and contrast.

Project wingman mission 11

for the D variant, if the gun trigger is for FOV, what do i use to cage the missile without having to lock on a target beforehand?

Great, informative video. I have been wondering about this set

This is such a good video. There's the normal stuff that's in most tutorials then there's the 10000IQ shit like the A/A flir usage or that HARM TOO interaction. Thanks a ton, man. This was really helpful.

I got the answer for 12-VIS/ WRCS/ 9-VIS switch. In WRCS, you must input an offset (N/S & E/W in feet) into WRCS, then fly over the IP and the WSO should press Freeze then Target Insert onto Cursor Control Panel. Jester can’t do that yet, you need a WSO. But that’s not the easiest way.

@RedKite I've been looking for a stick with no cross axis resistance, and was hoping this would be it, but apparently it isn't :/ Got any advice on what stick to get if I want a high end stick with no such issues when you move it in circles?

I wonder what the out come is today 2024 .

THANK YOU THANK YOU! Your instruction is perfect! I especially like your speech cadence. I've been so frustrated with the extremely fast babbling of other links on same subject.

I didn't understand at minute 11:51 how you move the device on the pilot side and zoom on a certain point on the ground...

I swear I'm doing something wrong, in my attempts I can mount the pod but it won't turn on for some reason... EDIT: Turns out I was leaving it in BIT 0.

Sir, what's up with the boot on that Winwing Stick? I hate the stock rubber one.

Thanks for the tutorial 👍🏻 But for pod cueing, you only covered 12-VIS and 9-VIS then said we can’t slew the pod to coordinates. However, HB manual says that in WRCS mode the pod can be slewed to radar cursor or manually entered coordinates. Yet they don’t say how ?

Is it possible to do this all from the pilot's seat right now, and if so how do we go about doing this?

I don't know if you knew this, but you can eject the tape and play music through the recorder as well

just got it absolutely outstanding headset, worth the price. Perform

This is neat for us making cinematic!

weird, maverick D, zoomed in once, can't unzoom and can't slew. this wont do. ooohp, gota poo. damn im a poet.
