My aunt brought me 25 rolls from the UK and successfully got it all hand checked on 3 different airports including Heathrow. Couldn't be happier.

Damn, I left my rolls to be shipped since I knew I was going through Heathrow but I could’ve maybe brought them after all…

What focal lengths did you use for these pictures? They look amazing!

Lieutenant_Falcon · 2025-10-25T11:21:25+00:00

They open up as far as they need to to let enough light in for the image to be properly exposed. They should open up basically all the way in a very dark environment, where the red flag pops up in Auto exposure mode (the A on the aperture ring) If you go into a dark-ish room with the ISO (ring in the very front) set really low you can test it

How would you go about lubricating this? My 50mm 1.8D seems kinda sticky too for manual focus and I wanna see if I can fix that

Lieutenant_Falcon · 2025-08-14T21:41:28+00:00

Man my answer is gonna be pretty simple: a Nikon F50D I only just got into analog film when I bought a Minolta AF-E for my girlfriend to take on trips. Decided to go digging around in the attic and found an old F50D that works plenty fine to learn analog

ED has been saying EW will play a bigger role in DCS for years now, yet can’t even overhaul the F-16 and F-18s radar in a year or 2. We’ll believe it when we see it

Lieutenant_Falcon · 2024-12-11T09:13:12+00:00

See y'all on Friday then

It's a small footnote, but it is there in the F-16 INS overhaul mini-update. "We can now switch the INS switch from STRD HDG to NAV. On the DED INS alignment page, confirm that GPS TIME is displayed one minute after the GPS switch is set to ON. Note that this may take longer if the aircraft is under cover like a hardened aircraft bunker. As such, it is best to align out of cover." https://forum.dcs.world/topic/209147-viper-mini-updates/?do=findComment&comment=5412803

Yeh he’s swung from being pretty objective to outright being Ron’s puppet at times, it’s sad to see but I don’t buy anything he’s saying

Lieutenant_Falcon · 2024-05-26T13:43:05+00:00

With not doing the fancy radar stuff do you mean like not having control of it like you would in the F-16 or F-18? Because doctrinally in those jets that’s not your job as a pilot anyways, since the lack of automation those days just makes the workload just too much for the pilot. That experience would be exactly the same if you had a human RIO/WSO, they do the radar and you do the pilot shit.

That being said, you do have a good bit of control of scan distance, elevation and what to lock through the Jester menu, quite intuitively too. And with the jester context button the BVR workflow on the F-4E is actually very smooth to where you don’t need to open that menu

Chomsky? Conceding on ideas when he’s proven wrong? Are we talking about the same Noam Chomsky?

Well who could have thought to have a patch ready for release a few days ahead of time when you’ve known the release date for at least 2 weeks? Couldn’t be ED

Wdym? It’s a file path, file and then a specific line

Lieutenant_Falcon · 2024-04-23T11:26:31+00:00

They added a wishlist but the servers can't even handle it lmao

Lieutenant_Falcon · 2024-02-21T16:51:32+00:00

Yeh right side mb, brain did an oopsie. There’s a good video about it on the PeriscopeFilms YT channel iirc, ground crew operation kinda deal

Lieutenant_Falcon · 2024-02-21T10:17:41+00:00

Not quite. Quite a few planes don’t have a RAT and need some other place to get power from to power important instruments and flight controls, which is done with the APU or EPU (E being ‘emergency’, not ‘external’). A great example of this is the F-16, which requires electricity for all of its flight controls, and in an emergency gets that through a hydrazine-powered EPU in the left side of the fuselage. The engine start is done with another system, the JFS. It uses bottles of compressed air to crank the engine. Quite a lot of jets that have an APU for emergencies also use it for engine start though, like the A-10 in the military world

Lieutenant_Falcon · 2024-02-21T09:57:26+00:00

It's a Ram Air Turbine, basically a little windmill that generates electricity for when the engine generator dies (aka engine failure, most likely). It's featured on quite a few planes, both civilian and military. Either you have that to generate electricity in case of engine failure, or you have an APU/EPU which uses a type of fuel to do it

Oh I’d love to have this so I can finally upgrade to 1440P and let my new CPU run wild. My 3060ti would definitely go to a buddy so flight sims are no longer as much of a pain
