T-38A Is OUT!

Excellent flying and video shooting. :applause:
I have joined a lot MP sessions with the purpose of training formation flights.
Training with props is not an easy task. Training with jets is even more challenging :salute:
 
Just downloaded the Milviz T-38 wrapper from the site using the link given on the first page of this thread (http://www.milviz.com/fs/item.php?id=T-38A). While unpacking i got a Trojan warning by BitDefender! Warning concerned the following: Trojan Generic. 5742776. BitDefender deleted the contents automatically.

Anyone else with the same issue?

Will not purchase before this is solved.

Edit: scanning the zipfile with BitDefender results in the deletion of the ZipFile.

I think it's safe to assume that you are getting a false positive from your AV,Warrant. ;)

Thanks, just read that while posting the same report at the MilViz forum.
Gonna try their approach, though i'm not happy with lowering shields (suffered another incident with Trojans just recently).

Edit: Install worked after turning off VS. First gonna test a/c, but i fear the moment i switch on my VS again.......

It will be fine after you install it.

But do let us know... Unless, of course, you are BUSY flying the plane!!!!

Install was OK. Now i'm busy......starting the thing!
Guess i have to go to manuals again. Not going anywhere at the moment.

Bird sure does look great though!

Virus scan will be my priority after flying (if i will get to that).

Edit: Where the heck is the quick start option? For the first flight i don't wanna walk to a gazillion pages or procedures. Is there a quick start procedure?
(have to work tomorrow and the greater part of this weekend, so i really want to ....fly)

Can't wait to master this bird, she looks sexy! (great job there dev's!)
 
Warrant there is no quick start, although there is one of the F-15.. For the T-38 just flip the battery switch on, and then you do not have to use the huffer/power cart. Just hit the 2 round black buttons on the bottom left of the main panel. After you get sufficient engine speed (17-20%) go to the corresponding throttle lever, and click the grey lever on the front part to inject fuel. Once you get it down this can be done in under a couple minutes. You should not get any warnings after it is installed though.
 
This is one of the simplest planes to start of any I've flown. Don't forget the throttle cutoff valves (or whatever they're called - I don't have the manual next to me right now), which are the switches atop the throttle levers. When they're in cutoff mode, not even Ctl-E will get you going.

The most important thing to remember: use power to control your AoA, use pitch to control your speed.

Unless the aerodynamics in the Air Force are different from the NAVY, you use POWER to control ALTITUDE (climb/descent rate), and you use STICK to control AOA (speed).

If you only add power, in the short run (couple of seconds) the jet will accelerate, but then it will start to climb and oscillate back to its original speed/AOA. No stick will be necessary to achieve this new climb rate. Therefore, it is said that power is the primary control for altitude. In reality, to speed up the process, you always help with the stick so that the jet starts to climb without accelerating first, and then you release the stick.

Same thing for speed. If you only pull back on the stick a little, the AOA will increase and the aircraft will initially climb, but then it will lose some speed and settle to its original climb/descent rate but at a lower speed. Again, no power change, just stick. Therefore, the stick is the primary control for AOA, which determines speed. In reality, if you want to decrease speed, you may pull back on the throttle initially to prevent the climb, but then you have to add that back.

Oh oh, not that old discussion again.
Besides that your example is, erm, politely said, somewhat questionable.
 
It's interesting to note the slight differences in techique between the vidoes posted by VaporZ and Bill. VaporZ's glide slope seems more "standard", while Bill's is very shallow and flat, which also corresponds with the advice given in the POH. Over the numbers, however, both pilots arrive at the same "place" in terms of airspeed/AOA and height above the runway at touchdown. That would make sense, I guess (duh).

Every time I watch these videos in full screen, about half way through I start grabbing the hat switch and trying to pan around the cockpit, lolol.

'flat' is an optical illusion in the video Bill posted because I've flown this approach with a 0.33 zoom setting (to have all the instruments in view).
Until the 'transition' the rate of descend is average 900fpm.
The ground speed is 155kts which means that glidepath is even slightly more steep than the standard 3deg.
Furthermore the VASIS are all red because you don't want to cross the threshold at 50ft in the T-38 so the 3deg glidepath is actually 'parallel' to the ILS or visual glideslope.
That of course makes another 'too low' impression.
