« Last post by AG-51_Razor on February 02, 2022, 05:05:51 PM »This is his next one in line. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQWhLtblV0w&list=PLZ8X4p18pdblCyhd7JwIWW2f6sGSTYLXW&index=1
I've actually gained quite a few little pearls of knowledge by watching these two videos. I confirmed what Ranger taught me last Saturday, that you can recover from some type of screw up with INS alignment down on the flight deck by just putting it in IFA and being patient.
I discovered a reason for Goose and I religously rotating the bleed air knob after engine start. Never knew why, just always figured it would some day be important. 
I very much appreciate the way that Spudknocker explains ATC procedures in a way that even I can understand - despite the fact that I have been working in that environment over a 40+ year career. His delivery reminds me of some of the platform instructors I had while going through flight school at Ft Rucker and I admit that he can sometimes grate a little on the back of my brain but over all, I can honestly say that I rarely watch one of his flicks without learning something new. These videos are well worth your time.

Mission Editor / Copying an entire mission to a new Theater
« Last post by AG-51_Thud on January 27, 2022, 05:19:26 AM »Read but have not tried it yet.
- Create a new mission in the editor for your desired map. Just create and then save it. No contents whatsoever.
- Open the new miz file with WinRAR (or equivalent) and open the mission you want to copy in WinRAR as well.
- Copy (drag and drop) the folders KNEEBOARD (if present), l10n (contains all the texts, soundfiles and lua scripts) and the file 'mission' to the new mission.
- still in (the new) WinRAR doubleclick on the file 'mission' and open it with an editor (I recommend Notepad++)
- search (CTRL+F) for 'theatre'
- in the line ["theatre"] = "mapname", insert the name of your new map (ie PersianGulf, Syria, TheChannel, Caucasus, Normandy, etc)
That's it. Unit and trigger zone placements will be off of course, just move them to the location where you want them.

Damn man - the video came out today and my question was from last year.

The AIr force had a hook for runway emergency gear.
