That chart is using Calibrated Air Speed (CAS), and not Indicated Air Speed (IAS). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calibrated_airspeed The broken lines denote various altitudes, and nothing more. Where they intersect the horizontal and vertical lines is what is of importance. The lines running horizontally represent (G) loading. The lines running vertically represent calibrated air speed. For example look at the solid line, which represents 4,000 feet ASL. Note where the 1-G line intersects the airspeed line. That represents your aircraft's stall speed in level flight, Also, take notice of the text in the center of the diagram, regarding clean configuration and stores.

160 knots indicated, in clean configuration on a "standard" day, with probably noting more than 1/2 internal fuel. 160 knots indicated at 40,000 feet is still "160 knots :indicated", understand? The F-105 has a very capable flap system, and it enables laden stall speeds to just below 160 knots when fully extended, but at too high an angle of attack for safe landing. Laden, safe landing speeds are in excess of 180 knots indicated,

S Uh, let me think on this for a while..... Uh, the SF2 series?

Stall line at what weight (full or partial internal fuel, external stores, etc)? At what indicated airspeed (the most obvious)? At what level of thrust? At what air temperature (affects air density at all altitudes)? Most of the charts you'll find in a pilot's manual are meant to be used as guidelines, and as such, do not necessarily represent real-world conditions.

There was such a tool for early SF1 patch levels, which Streakeagle created. Unfortunately, updating it appears to have been overly time-consuming. The addition of various stall and downwash parameters, coupled with TKs almost constant tweaking of the game physics would have made this an elusive target just a few years ago. Now that TK's all but abandoned the series, the creation of an app that allows one to graph the flight envelope is once again feasible. Of course, this may spur him on to further develop the series, out of spite For years we have been making due with little more than Kreelin's Aeroconvert, and an app penned up by Abacus for MSFS, CLcalc.

Currently in the yard, getting a fresh coat of paint:

A Happy New Year to all our friends and their families here at Combat Ace!

Here's a snippet of video that I recorded in that same area, to illustrate the actual size of the bay. We were fishing about were the "N" in Raritan Bay is on the chart in my previous post. My Movie.wmv

You meant, "had they been running along minding their own business and the engine quit while they were crossing the channel (instead of anchoring in the channel)?" The first step, is to notify the USCG or the Marine Police on Channel 16. The body of water that incident took place in, is Raritan Bay, which runs between NY and NJ. Ch 16 is monitored by the USCG out of NY harbor, as well as the Coast Guard station near the tip of Sandy Hook in NJ. It is also monitored by the NY and NJ marine police (both state agencies), and by the NYPD marine division out of Staten Island (a municipal agency). So if notified of the emergency, someone will have resources dispatched within a few minutes, at most. By notifying the authorities, they are in effect, broadcasting on a public channel that is monitored by ships and tugs, as well as pleasure boats. The law states that any unencumbered vessel that is close enough to render assistance MUST do so. Assistance can mean getting the crew members off the stricken vessel, or possibly even towing it to safety (not recommended unless you know what you're doing, or are a licensed master with a towing endorsement on your ticket). As for the tanker in that situation, the only rule that applies to it is that it must monitor channel 16, and must maintain steerage-way, which on a vessel of that size, may be 7-10 knots (steerage way is the minimum speed at which a vessel can maneuver on its own).

Yes. Download it now, and install it later. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki/windows_10-windows_install/how-to-download-official-windows-10-iso-files/35cde7ec-5b6f-481c-a02d-dadf465df326

The ski-jump will not work, as it would require rewriting the code to recognize radiused collision meshes.

A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all our members and their loved ones.

The F-16's ammo counter is displayed on the same MFD that the stores list is on, and is visible when you select "gun". Here it shows 510 rounds remaining in the magazine. To cycle trough friendly ground targets, simply use the "F7" key. Ground units will only show up if they are within a certain radius.

Watch this couple in a small boat almost get run down by a tanker, because they anchored in a fairway (ship channel). Large vessels are constrained by draft, and have the right of way. If the USCG or that state's marine patrol had been there, they would have issued them a summons, irregardless of whether or not that were experiencing engine trouble. They were lucky that a party boat came to provide aid. And even then, they did not follow the party boat captains advice, when he told them to cut the anchor line.

Oh No! Kevin has taken over as the Euell Gibbons of the 21st Century! For those of you who don't know who Euell Gibbons was:

Since we strive for historic accuracy, check for updated versions of the aircraft that you're interested in. If you mean the F-15B,D,E and other two seat variants, I know that there are versions out there with updated avionics. In fact, the B version should use the same cockpit as the "A". with a few minor differences,

Download a install Stary's Sarcasm 2.0 mod. That'll be good for a start. Other than that, when modifying the sun and sun-light levels in this series, one must proceed with caution, as it is too easy to introduce undesirable anomalies as side-effects.

That's what's referred to as a "pitch ladder". Many of the models in the SF2 download section were released before the advanced avionics appeared in latter versions SF2 (and their attendant patch updates) became available. As for the "square" target indicator in the Su-27, perhaps because it's a circle in real life?

The missile track and lock sounds are global, one cannot tailor them to just an individual weapon. My advice is that you spend an afternoon or two reading through the SF2 knowledge base.

Under the gundata.ini entry for a given weapon, you'll find a line similar to this: ROF=3500.0 Simply edit it to the desired rate.
