T-38A Bugs

Hi. just a quick one ,as I haven't looked in to this deeply, but I notice the handling characteristics for the T-38 are quite different to other sims such as FSX and P3D. I'm not sure if this comes down to the sim's "engine" or how the T-38 has been converted. One of the obvious l things I noticed was the lack of wing buffeting and sounds when the aircraft is at a high AOA. This was pronounced in the FSX/P3D version of this aircraft, particularly during takeoff and close to stall speed. I just could not find any replication of this in the T-38 in FFS.

Just a bit of feedback .

Good catch! This was lost in conversion, I know we had it working at some point too. Will look into it! We're working on a revamp of flight characteristics to add more realistic stall/spin behavior anyways, but this is a good catch.

Thanks,

Hi,

I have changed the title to "T-38A Bugs" as I have found a few more little things not working in the T-38A.

- There is no afterburner effect or sound. It seems to be kicking in, as the nozzles change position abruptly, the click is heard on the throttle mechanism, and the speed increases.

- The TACAN knobs and readout always resets to 099x about 2 seconds after changing to any other frequency.

- The oxygen flow indicator is blinking when oxygen main supply switch is set to off.


These are very minor issues and very low priority, but I am just listing them as I find them for future reference.

Thanks, much appreciated!

Some additional bugs noted during a test flight: after a vertical climb to FL 200, all instruments locked up and failed to come back to life upon descent. In addition, pitch was severely limited afterward although roll remained unaffected. Not sure if this is something in the T-38 in the way of instrument failures or a bug in FFS, but thought it worth reporting in this thread.
