So...you want to fly and fight like 1Duke1?
« on: January 13, 2009, 11:15:14 AM »
I probably shouldn't be posting this.  I really don't need to encourage other players to be any better. 

But...then again, I'm an generous guy at heart, so I guess I will.  Most folks won't take the time to read it anyway.

I was searching the net for some T-45 cockpit photos, and I came across the Navy Training Command's Air Combat Maneuvering Manual for student naval aviators in the T-45 pipeline.  I looked through it, and although the info is jet-specific, there are enough nuggets in there for it to be useful to prop-drivers like us as well.

Anyway, it's free, and alot shorter than Shaw!   :rock

(I believe I read/heard that 1Duke1 was an F-14 driver, hence the thread title.  Sorry if I got that wrong Duke <S>)

Ah, sorry guys.  I'm on a Navy computer, so it might be DoD only.

Just finished reading it.

Interesting but it is very specific to the airplane and training environment. Ignore all the speeds/AOA units references and the references to 500 feet and its good.

There are a couple errors. It needs an editor with an eye for detail.

Figure 35 is labeled two circle but its the one circle diagram. Don't let that confuse you. You will notice it looks just like figure 34 :) .
