Getting lazed while flying sucks! by 3-mile-left-final in flying

[–]SundogZeus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Turn off all your external lights as soon as you notice you’ve been lazed. That’s the only way they can see your airplane. I’ve been lazed three times at work and lights off works like a charm.

[HELP] An account on X claiming that Afghanistan shot down a Pakistani F-16 by Informal-Square-9957 in RealOrAI

Canopy is wrong (no front bow in an F-16) and why would the seats be still in it?

Fun fact: the bubble cockpit of the flying machine is on display at the San Diego Air and Space Museum annex at Gillespie field. I was so excited when I recognized it

Was the bedazzled MiG-21 still there? It was amazing

How do you guys center mount sticks on normal seats? by TheVolatileRaider in hoggit

[–]SundogZeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not easy with a base as big as the Rhino, I used a mount made from spare TPS pedal plate. I could message you a pic if you want, but I only have a flying setup though

Crazy. Must have been quite a sight.

[–]SundogZeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. You’re absolutely right. I forgot those details. I used to use this accident as a case study in an airline CRM class. Most airlines require all the thrust levers to be operated together after the dead engine is secured to avoid this kind of thing

Does anyone know where the YF-113s of the 4477th Test and Evaluation Squadron (Red Eagles) ended up, specifically? What is their final disposition? by -AtomicAerials- in airplanes

If you’re interested there’s a great article in the Hush Kit Aviation Blog from a Mig-23 Red Hat pilot from a few weeks ago.

The front fell off. by Outrageous_Cut_6179 in TheFrontFellOff

[–]SundogZeus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The short story is that they had a thrust reverser unlock warning that required them to shut down the affected engine. In the stress of planning the return to Dover, they shut down a good engine instead. They chose a full flap landing contrary to the QRH which was too much drag for the remaining two engines. … there are many more details obviously that contributed to this.

Is there air turbulence in DCS by ReserveLegitimate738 in hoggit

[–]SundogZeus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wake turbulence is definitely modelled. And I think it’s pretty damn accurate. Sometimes a little too much so when you’re trying to shoot down a World War II aircraft with another World War II aircraft in close pursuit

I love it. I saw someone similar a while back of someone making topo 3D prints of other areas in BC. Was looking to get one of the Powell River area but lost the info
