Could be an interesting option for mission building
 :thinking:

@BeachAV8R I don’t think its live yet, they usually release a few hours after the patch notes hit the forums.

How are we supposed to know the MiG’s excited / being a good boy now?

Ooooo!! Looking forward to trying this out.

95

Just hope your crew chief knows the difference between the pitot and the pilot or you could find yourself in some
uncomfortable situations.

ÂĄAy, caramba!

@NineLine - go give those devs a hug please. You can be manly about it, but hugs all round.

Has there been any mention of what that means - ED acknowledged the slew control was a bit messy, but also that it didn’t play well with HOTAS Warthog throttle’s TDC controller as it doesn’t allow depress and axis commands through at the same time. Has a fix for that been included by chance?

Damn - I liked using that. Back to 12’s then!
@Franze guess I have to be more “realistic”. :grin:

This will be my only “complaint” - that did work, and now it’s broken. Ugh. I’ll just have to tell my lazing partner to cycle the power. At least the “Did you try turning it off and on again?” method ought to work. An acceptable loss for the progress this patch made!

Thanks ED & Partners! Keep up the great work!

Spent all morning in the C-101 (not even the CC!) and am just having a blast with learning it. That IFR departure and ILS landing training mission will make you want to murder that instructor!

“Maintain 215 KNOTS!!!”

I passed it on the third try after finally getting the feel for the airplane. Lovely stuff!
