  • In this video, we will take a look at the start up procedure needed between the pilot and the (human) RIO for the F-14.
    This video was originally meant to be Hellreign's but he let me take over on this one as he has a few more videos lined up along the way. Thank you to Hellreign for all the help!

      Totally understandable. I literally read about this just today, for like 2-3 hours - just to see it here shown in a few minutes and much easier to get. At least I knew what I was looking at already :D
      Normally I'll just read parts of the manual when I don't know what something does, usually this grows interest in the things around it. But it's always easier to understand all that stuff when you have the virtual cockpit and are able to click the stuff :)

    Is the RIO going to be a hotseat-able position? or can you only join in prior to startup? Asking, because it'd be awesome if for example, you flew with 2 player F-14's, if one got shot down, rather than starting up or waiting for the other to RTB or get shot down, you could jump back into the action by swapping in as a human RIO to replace AI RIO.
    Also, did they ever fix some of the crazy problems they had with the Gazelle co-op? generally you could screw with people by hopping in their gazelle and it would cause all kinds of bugs. ie what happens if your human RIO ends up getting disconnected? does it default back to AI RIO? Can you turn off the ability for some rando-pubby joining you? I'm assuming also, you need to have the full module to be a RIO? Would be kind of cool for those who can't afford the full module to be able to RIO for free, or if they own some other aircraft you get RIO free?

    • @CakePrincessCelestia
      @CakePrincessCelestia 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not sure if it's possible to hop into a live unit, but I guess it's possible. When your RIO disconnects, Jester will automatically take over. And if someone wants to join you as RIO, you'll get a prompt that you have to accept or decline. RIOs need the module license as well as pilots.

  • @redglyph
    @redglyph 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    And I thought the A-10 had a long startup procedure ;-) By the way, how does the F-14 manage to align its INS on a moving carrier?

    • @reillybrangan2182
      @reillybrangan2182 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The carrier will share its own INS data to the tomcat via radio datalink or a physical cable that they run along the deck and into the tomcats INS. Basically the tomcat will monitor the carrier's INS and use it as a dynamic, virtual, stationary reference I guess? The tomcat will do its alignment relative to the carriers own INS outputs, so that any movement (sea states, carrier turning etc) are automatically compensated for during the cat's own INS alignment.. This means that the tomcat can still perform a full alignment even in rocky states and with the carrier moving, so long as the carrier's INS itself is working. It does take slightly longer however due to the somewhat increased workload on the INS.

      The aircraft cannot utilise weapons other than the sidewinder without at least a minimum weapons grade INS alignment. Generally for a scramble, you wanted the aircraft's INS aligned beforehand and the aircraft put on alert. You would never really be able to effectively scramble these from cold and dark.
