Is buying the Flaming cliffs 3 better than just buying the F15 by itself? I mean, is it the same AC or are they completely different? FC3 comes with 7 ac all included if I understand it right, but are they the same as the individual ac downloads or better/worse/different?

How big of a difference is there in the A10 models?
The A-10A is a non-clickable cockpit. It's all keyboard commands.

On the contrary, the A-10C, well... get memorizing that 30+ step startup.

The thing to keep in mind between flaming cliffs and any of the other modules, if you end up on the server that has a mixed bag between easy to manage aircraft and study sim aircraft, there's no question that the folks in the study sim will be at a disadvantage.

However there is the rare occasion where it's a bit of an even match and those who are better skilled at managing the systems actually can whip the ever living toejam out of whoever is there. I credit this particular gem to aces high.

If AH would have complicated plane management, 190s would be hugely popular due to their high automation and probably would have way higher k/d than they have now.

In the F4U you'd have to manually change supercharger gears and manually adjust cooling flaps.

The P-47 would require manual fuel mixture, prop RPM, cowl flaps, supercharger speed regulation, exhaust vectoring, flap equalization, and oxygen monitoring. I may have missed a few, give me a couple of hours to read through the manual again and double check.

What is exhaust vectoring used for?

You adjust the direction that the exhaust flows through the conduits. Basically you send exhaust could be vented up front near the engine, or it could be sent to the back of the plane to run the turbo at a higher speed. It was tied into the throttle settings but would need to be set after takeoff or after large altitude changes. Because the turbo and the exhaust are tied together, it helps with the turbo management a little, but you still needed to be mindful of the turbo and make fine adjustments.

I skimmed through the manual and also found the oil intercooler needed to also be monitored as well as the electronics on board (the P-47 had a very complex electronics system). This also includes the radio, managing the gun heater, cockpit heater, fuel pump power, and engine electrical output power.

The sale ended two days before Russian posted (not that he mentioned one). There will be another one.

The sale was mentioned in a post from February 2015. A year ago.
