*** Posted by Rapier *** [I guess that just shows that the flight sims are not that accurate after all. If you are above 29' AOA in the real jet, its out of control. Where did you get your information about the airshows ? The switch has no function unless you are out of control. RUN] Hi RUN, On the contrary, I've just been reading through the

*** Posted by RUN *** [Hi RUN, The other night I was thinking to myself, What do pilots do when they are not training? Maybee you could include a pilot diary section to show people what it's like for a modern day fighter pilot. It's up to you. You dont have to let people know what you get up to but I just thought that it would be interesting.

*** Posted by RUN *** [Hi RUN, I hope you dont mind us going on about flight sims and stuff. It might be boring for you I dont know, but try to understand that this is the closest we can get to flying apart from joining the airforce or a flying club. I dont treat flight sim's as a game by the way I try to keep them serious and as true as ...

*** Posted by RUN *** [Hi RUN, I fly a F-16 block 50/52 in Falcon 4 and it has a dramatic effect on the positive G's situation even when you are not out of control and pulling a tight turn. I find that it will also give you a much better rate of turn with only minimal touches back and forth on the stick and keeping the AOA at the right amount ...

*** Posted by Rapier *** [I agree with you RUN. It's also my opinion. I have pulled without MPO on 9.5 Gs TIGER ] Hi Tiger, You said that you cannot overide the limmiters on the real F-16 which is true but you cant overide them in F4 either, with 100 realistic settings on. You said that you have pulled more than 9.5G's without MPO, How is ...

*** Posted by Rapier *** [Hi Rapier The limit of the F16 airframe is in region of 12 Gs . TIGER] Hi Tiger, That's right, so why are you using just 9 G's. If you have to get out of a tricky situation then it's there for the taking. I've found the limits in F4 for best turn radius. below 5000 ft: 370-380 Knt's 15000 ft (the measured turn ...

*** Posted by Rapier *** [The MPO switch has no effect on positive g's as long as you are not out of control. When held it overrides the negative g limiter & if the AOA is more than 29 degrees (which means that you are out of control), it overrides the AOA/g limiter and allows rudder inputs.

*** Posted by TIGER *** Hi Rapier The limit of the F16 airframe is in region of 12 Gs . TIGER [Hi Tiger, You are right the overide button is not a G limiter. What I mean is that if you switch the overide on and you pull into a bank as hard as you can I have had the F-16 well over 9.5G's at a pretty fast speed, but not for long. I did ...
