  1. Kthx, I did the run-up when I encountered the symptom . Tried in flight and all fine. Thanks!
  2. As I haven't found something similar already reported: As far as I understand the manual, the Prop lever of the quadrant does essentially the same as the switch at the prop switch box - decrease and increase prop rpm. However, I cannot see this effect. Using the switch produces the expected result, but using the lever doesn't change anything, disregarding the switch position (auto or manual). I may understand the manual wrong, though.
  3. Wow, yeah! That one is great, thank you very much! :) :thumbup:
  4. Oops, you're right. I wasn't very carfeul, obviously, and just tool the ukrainian names. Transscription 4tl... ;)
  5. 8-82, p. 24, second paragraph: "Former military advisor to the deputy chief of the school, V.I. Ablazov, wrote to DRA Air Force commander Mir Gausuddin about this proposal, remembering once looking at a passing caravan of nomads: 'Your children are being born listening to TV noise, unable to speak, they already know how to turn on the lights and tape recorder, twitch a car wheel. When they grow up, they do not have problems to release one control knob and take hold of another. Our children break away from the donkey or camel tail, from the mother hem and you want to put them right into the modern airplane cockpit? Take your time and do not rush'." Seemed to be more sensible if Gasuddin wrote to Ablazov. (Irreversibly confused now by trying to understand airwar.ru... :helpsmilie:)
  6. 8-82, p. 23, last paragraph: "Czech pilots flew the route with a total length of 5042 km from Vodochody to Mazar-i-Sharif through Košice, Lviv (Sknilov), Kiev (Juliani), Donetsk, Krasnodar, Makhachkala, Krasnovodsk, Ashkhabad, Chardjou and Tashkent." Sknilov -> Sknyliv (if it is UKLL) Juliani -> Zhuliany (if it is UKKK)
  7. 8-82, p. 22, third paragraph: "Among them were TACAN AN/ARN-153(V) radio navigation system manufactured by Collins ProLine II, ADF-462 radio compass and GPS receiver." I'm slightly confused - AN/ARN-153(V), ADF-462 and ProLine II are all products by Rockwell Collins, right?
  8. Thanks, Mr.Pitt! :) 8-82, p. 20, last paragraph: "The X-09 test flight started on June 25th, 1975, by Ju. Shouz." Probably a missed Juraj Šouc?
  9. 8-81, p. 18, first paragraph (KT-04): "Before takeoff, the KT-04, installed on a trolley, was attached to the winch cable with a special grip. During takeoff, the distance between the tug and the target was 100 m." I found http://flak11.de/FlakGS-Ziele.htm which claims 800 m between tug and target. However, these are LV/LSK values and may differ from WWS figures. Is there a chance to have this clarified? (However, 100 m seems quite close to me)
  10. 8-82, p. 17, last paragraph: "The L-39С trainer became the most mass-produced modification, in the amount of 2,280 units. The USSR air forces received 2,280 airplanes (the latest one was received on January 25th, 1991)." Are these figures correct or a typo? All "C" for the USSR and none for the other countries? Figures in the net vary greatly, with airwar.ru speaking of 2080 units bought by the USSR.
  11. @Zhivuchiy: Thanks a lot, that really helps! :)
  12. Cool! :) Thanks to Zhivuchiy and derelor! Yet another one for translation purposes: Could anybody provide me with the long name of the GK NII VVS facility? Cyrillic would be great as well, I just would like to provide an appropriate translation to the german readers.
  13. 8-81, p. 15, second paragraph: "auxiliary power unit (APU) “Saphir-5” produced by the French company “Turbomeca” under license" Sure it's not the other way round? Turboméca as the licensor and PBS as the licensee?
  14. Hier die deutsche Übersetzung der Mitteilung aus http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=95295
  15. Wegsichern würde ich auf jeden Fall \Gespeicherte Spiele\DCS komplett. Neben den Screenshots und dem Logbuch liegen da auch die Profile drin. Allerdings wäre ich vorsichtig mit den Profilen. Da neue Tastaturbefehle hinzugekommen sind, würde ich empfehlen, die Belegung nach einem Import noch einmal gründlich zu kontrollieren, um Doppelbelegungen zu vermeiden.
  16. In Vertretung von Groove, hier die Übersetzung von Wags Post ;)
  17. By accident, I activated the subtitles in YT and had some more fun :) Too bad, there's more talking than flying footage in this video. The cockpit footage is really great :)
  18. Thanks for the great reading, I really enjoyed it :) Additionally, I'm with leafer - it would have received its hits here as well :)
  19. Does binding / unbinding affect my remaining Startforce re-/activations? Assuming I have no more re-activations left for my DCS module, will I effectively lock my DCS module by unbinding it? Or is Starforce completely seperated from serials management?
