> How do I use the TGP??
Ctrl+RMB to enter it's feed in fullscreen. Weapon selection, plane control and targeting remains the same. Only now the TGP's targeting reticle is used for target marking instead of your viewpoint or centerline.

> One great wish would be to get the TGP to be ground stabilized
It's one of the wanted features.


>> the rudders seem like they barely do anything
Has been fixed and should be today on dev branch

I found this version quite good, i mean now the thing actually turns...One great wish would be to get the TGP to be ground stabilized..i know the MELBS and other addon have this should it should be doable. That would make one of the most important weapon for fixed wings usable in Arma3 too..i mean its all 2035 and such :)

No I wasnt in the dev branch, so that may explain a few of the problems, and It's nice to see the author so active like this :)

Thanks a lot for the great feedback!

> the rudders seem like they barely do anything
Strange. Are you on the Dev Branch? It should behave correctly there, but I've already had some reports about random loss of control in this regard.

> the aircraft does not lift itself on its own
It should with the flaps lowered @ around 200-220 I think. Will check and fix.

> when you do a sharp turn you seem to loose speed very quickly
This was a problem with the vanilla configuration which I wanted to address, will try to tune it a bit more ;)

> max speed whilst flying level is on the 515 range
The goal was more like 650. Will check.

Thanks a lot. Will try to do another iteration asap.

@dante First thing this is very important, the rudders seem like they barely do anything, even at low speeds this is very important especially for the whipeout since its a CAS aircraft and doing gun runs you need to use the rudder to make small adjustments, this is also important for landing and takeoff. Another thing I noticed was the particularly high stall speed, holding down S trying to take off I got airborne at 200 ish and even if you reach 230 speed you need to pull up quite harshly. Also not falling with neutral thust at 250 or so is quite difficult, so lower the stall speed by about 30-40. I'd say takeoff with flaps down at around 170-185. Another thing, as I refrenced to, the aircraft does not lift itself on its own you need to quite harshly pull up to get it to take off, whereas for example the --CONTINUED IN NEXT COMMENT

F/A-18 E's lift on their own at around 210 but you can get them off the ground at around 160 and for the record this happens IRL aswell, My dad owns a plane and I can fly it.
A few last things that are not that important but I'd like to see put into this, when you do a sharp turn you seem to loose speed very quickly, it may not be as much of a worry if the stall speed is decreased but you may want to look into it. One last thing the max speed whilst flying level is on the 515 range, I'd like to see this incresed a bit but not too much the A10 in A2 can reach about 605 flying level thats quite high if you aske me but 515 also seems low, I'd like to see it around the 570 +-10 range.

But thatas just what I think, do with it as you will :)

@dante I haven't tested it yet but I think you read the message wrong, I mean the stock A3 whipeout flight model is horrible so you really need to mess this up to make it any worse, I'm loading up A3 now to test it and I'll give you some feedback :)

@TheEldon3379 - have you tried it yet? In what means specifically do you think it's worse? Let me know!

This was intended only for testing of the possibilities of the flight model. Please check the provided forums link to find more information.

well the standard flight model for the whipeout is horid so this has to be really bad to make things worse
