I absolutely love these details! Would you also be able to explain the AUG checks and trim neutral checks on startup? Couldn’t find anything in heatblur manual but would like to do them during start up after flight control checks
Thanks! The trim neutral check is just the crew chief checking if the stabilator is neutral when you set the trim to 0. I couldn't even find it in the official -1 manual. The Stab checks after startup are meant to verify that when you turn them on one by one, the control surfaces don't move - if they do, something is wrong with the stabs. I show this in my startup tutorial too.
Hi Reflected, I am really enjoying the F-4E much more after seeing your tutorials and playing your single mission on Guam, however I was wondering how you setup the ATIS on Aux Ch 3 and would like to ask you to make a video on how to create it and set it up in the mission editor. Thanks, hugely appreciated
What about the wear and tear features? Maybe it might show there after some time? I know a lot of that is still to come, but just wondering what it might entail.
@@ReflectedSimulations haha I did watch it, pinky promise! I saw that bit, it’s why I’m asking. Was that part of the checks/for aerobatics, or a 100% “you *will* do this before getting into BFM”?
@@mumblerinc.6660 yes, BFM is definitely a high g high AoA thing, so always turn the roll aug off. At high AoA you roll with the rudder only, and if you have the roll aug off it’s gonna fight you.
So when ever wing tanks were fitted, you had to perform an A2A before your mission? That’s harsh and further proof, if proof be needed, that I’d suck as a fighter pilot as I can’t A2A for crap
Scramble all jets! Troops in contact need immediate help. Hey, wait, let's all do our RIG Checks first. Otherwise our planes may not strafe and bomb correctly. Gimme a break. RIG Check. Sounds like something for the post-maintenance check flight pilot to perform before the bird goes back on the line.
@@ReflectedSimulationssurely you're not disagreeing with an internet fighter pilot? Have you forgotten that we couch-bound stick jockeys know more about combat aviation than any real world pilot ever could? Manuals? Procedures? These things are powerless next to my 5 years playing War Thunder! 😂
Not every mission is a scramble. And this doesn't sound too much more hassle than a G-warm maneuver. Or fence in checks. Or after take off / cruise checks. Or battle damage checks / fence out cheks. Ore before landing checks. There are lot of procedures involved in real ops , that not many are aware of. Of course the priorities change if you are suddenly jumped by MiGs. But then again, you then hope that you have a fully functional airframe and you are warmed up for pulling G...
Scramble jets had all ground checks done in a prestart. Then they would shut down and stay on external power. I also dont think they would have wing tanks since they would be launched for close range air interception. And yeah the rig check would be quick to perform. Fly wing level and check. The aug check too especially if you turn off the roll aug before combat
Cool headsup! Btw I really enjoy your sandbox instant mission "Paradise Lost" for F-4, really well done.
Thanks!
@@ReflectedSimulations added me to that thank you. Its the main map and mission I have been leaning the F4 in.
Hey man! Bring more of such real procedures juels!
I really enjoy your videos, missions, and campaigns.
@@JFG3D thank you for the support!
Looking forward to your Campaign, as I truly love your attention to details like these. Cheers.
Many thanks! Hopefully soon
Cant wait for your campaign!
Thanks!
Man o man can’t wait to play MiG killers!! Thanks Reflected love your campaign’s!
Thank you!
keep the videos coming! Great info.

Thanks! I’ve just reviewed your start-up video and found it in there. Great to know about the trim neutral one!

@@deuzerr I just push a ‘radio transmission’ trigger linked to a zone, looped. It continuously transmits a file on the selected frequency
@@ReflectedSimulations okay thanks, how did you edit the file and what did you do to it?
@@deuzerr which file? the sound file? I use Reaper to add the effects but any sound editing software will do
Campaign looks great.
I wonder if so bad Migs AI not spoil it.
What about the wear and tear features? Maybe it might show there after some time? I know a lot of that is still to come, but just wondering what it might entail.
No, wear and tear doesn’t cause failures.
Is any of the aug switches meant to be switched off before combat, like the roll aug in the Tomcat?
Tell me you haven’t watched the video without telling me you haven’t watched it ;) (end of the stab aug check part)

More important question though: where’s MiG Killers? Me want!
@@mumblerinc.6660 it’s all in ED ‘s hands now
Can you provide instructions on how to successfully conduct air combat with Jester?
Tricker has one.
Yes it’s gonna be a training campaign called MIG Killers ;)
MIG Killers when?!
I find it easier to air refuel with all stab controls axes turned off...

No, always. If you had wing tanks you waited until they were dry, and then did the check.

Like you don't have 30 seconds between takeoff and engagement? I didn't make this up, it's coming from official manuals and squadron publications.
