Silverado Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Let there be a release date! :D Great update! One thing though. Until now I was pretty sure the inlet ramps had to be switched to Auto for cat launches. This is what I found: Now you're telling me they should be in stow mode? That's exactly what can cause a compressor stall. Ramps should be mechanically restrained in stowed position below 0.35M even in AUTO mode, why bother fiddling with switches and not leaving it in AUTO for the entire flight?

Schizwiz Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Cobra847...I have a remark on something I have read: Cat shots should be done with the AICS ramps in STOW, ensuring the ramps are locked in their stowed position and do not drop unexpectedly! In the NATOPS Manual it is written: CAUTION! � DO NOT takeoff with the INLET RAMPS switches in STOW. Hydraulic power is on and may drive the ramps out of the stow locks during certain servocylinder failure modes causing an engine stall. Just to make sure,hope you don't mind, I am curious,maybe you are mentioning it will be like this IN -Game,or IRL as well? I have no clue really ,but the NATOPS Manual holds a lot of details,so it seems to me.Or is it like this for land base take-offs only? For that matter,this seems to be a big project,and It is going to be a very cool addition to this amazing Ed Forums Simulator series,no one should ever forget about the F14,because it was the best air superiority the NAVY ever had. Cheers. To see your opponent for who he or she is,is to put your blade in front of their deepest secrets and make them come up front,outward with a defeat or a win.

Yeah, that is an error that escaped editing. One of our SMEs told us that heading out with AICS malfunctions was a big no no, though they would sometimes cheat on cross countries so they wouldn't get stranded. They called it "Stow and go". After take-off they would report the ramp issue and continue to their destination. But otherwise, stow was only for in-flight malfunctions and they were left in auto for cat launches (though there were rare ramp malfunctions on cat shots that resulted in stalls). -Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitormouraa Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Very nice. Interesting how you guys are going to model the failures, I'm actually curious about a nozzle failure in DCS. If the nozzle gets stuck in a transition from MIL to MAX AB, where the nozzle must open in order to change the nozzle area and also keep the backpressure under the limits, that actually can overheat the engine, is there any word about this? Excessive backpressure could make the temperature between turbines (Normally T5) exceed its limits. is that going to be modeled too? Also, last time I asked you guys about Ram Drag, and the lack of it in the last update (by Heatblur too). BlackLion gently sent me a message saying it wasn't modeled due to lack of documentation, but you guys actually found some documents about the F-14's inlet efficiency. How's that working for you guys? Not sure if that's a sensitive question but I'm curious :P Thanks!

I believe it was our intent to always model it - but we were still researching the best approximations at the time.

Took longer to find the data than expected, but we managed to find exactly what we needed. :) -Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackLion213 Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Good stuff, thanks! Any word about the first question, however? Is that even a possibility? Well, it will be a random failure for those with the feature enabled, but all this stuff is quite rare. Battle damage is a more realistic scenario for seeing the effects. Even the TF30's famous compressor stalls were not that common in practice. Of our 2 F-14A SMEs, both had only 1 stall in their entire career (1400 hours and 2000 hours in the A). And one of them was related to engine that was out of tune (developed excessive TIT at full mil-power) and both stalls spontaneously cleared. So these features won't surface much, but are possible and built into the model. They will also be trigger-able via the ME and such. -Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
