Thank you for the quick response, @Dakfly0219 . Those answers make a lot of sense and I am excited to see where you take the plane from here!
I thought I had tried the top item on the sub menu, but maybe I didn’t. I will try again tonight.
I also need to check my fuel before taking off. I flew KDEN-KASE and flew quickly but not on afterburners (is the only indication of afterburners the NOZ icons turning yellow?), and I found myself on Joker fuel by the time I landed. It’s a short flight, so I was surprised by that, but hadn’t checked how much fuel I had on board before taking off.
Having an issue where it keeps pulling to the left during taxi, takeoff and landing even at low speeds. Was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this.
Yes but in other aircraft. I switched airport and it fixed it. So not sure if there is some specific weather settings that causes some weird behaviour.
I thought it would be related to crosswind but I’m taxiing at 10 knots with a crosswind around 10 knots and it’s aggressively pushing the plane to the side. I’ll do some more test at higher crosswinds to see if it gets worse.
It would be nice to know if those of you having a great experience are all running SU10 Beta? It’s been hard to deduce how “big” of a problem SU9 performance is with flight controls vs. SU10 Beta.
It seems like it would make sense for me to wait until SU10 is pushed before I purchased this, but as I said, it’s hard to know with much certainty.
My comments are on SU9. I will try later on the crosswind. It didn’t seem to be related to the crosswind - I think that it may have been the GPS navigation.
Funny how with some people “every plane is pushing to the right on takeoff” and for others “every plane is pushed to the left on takeoff”. Almost seems like either a hardware problem or crosswind related and not a bug at all. At least not a bug with any aircraft.
I’m on SU10. Everything seems to be working fine but I do think the veering to the left or right has to do with crosswinds in the sim.
I’m also getting a weird clicking/toggle sound in the cockpit on approach. It gets louder when I toggle to the external cam and then goes away until I go back inside the cockpit. I do have autothrottle enabled so maybe that’s the culprit.
Yes, I did notice that too. Thought it was torque, but the developer of the L4 Grasshopper warned in the manual about crosswind take off / landing. And so, I did notice it was the crosswind causing the plane to veer off (uncontrollable).
This appears to be a problem with any HUD display in the game including the SuperHornet and the 787. It’s perhaps a bit more obvious on our HUD display because of the size of the characters and density of information in the display.
Take a peek in the user manual. There’s a discussion of range and fuel consumption and target cruise profile. It should be helpful for your efforts to squeeze range out of the aircraft. By all accounts it is a VERY thirsty airplane and one of the chief criticisms of the F-22A program is that it was not designed with sufficient range for future threats in the Pacific (it was originally designed with threats posed by the former Soviet Union in mind where combat ranges would have been shorter).
