[. . . ] The F-16's flight control computers limit the amount of G the aircraft will pull (-3. 0 G to + 9. 0 G), but if you hold a break turn too long and the screen begins to go dark, relax the joystick to reduce the tightness of the turn, or use the B key to activate your Air Brakes to reduce the aircraft's speed through the turn. Don't forget to deactivate the air brakes when you no longer need them. You can choose whether you wish to have F-16 simulate blackouts from high-G turns and Redouts from negative-G situations. Go to Options on the Main Menu, and check Blackouts/Redouts. As with any aircraft control movement, strive to make your breaks crisp and precise, with a definite purpose in mind. When you are good at break turns, you will be able to come out of one heading in precisely the direction you want to go. Watch your speed and altitude whenever you are performing break turns. Roll A Full Roll consists of a complete rotation of the aircraft around its longitudinal axis, from level flight to inverted, and back to level. As with all aerial maneuvers, make your rolls precise and efficient. Ideally, a roll should not include any forward or backward pressure on the joystick, and you should come out of the roll headed in exactly the same direction you were headed when you started it. · Make sure you have plenty of altitude and airspeed, then get into level flight and check your airspeed, heading, and altitude for reference. Push the stick to the left, without any forward or backward pressure. Hold the stick to the left as you roll through inverted flight and back to your original orientation, then level off. You should be headed in the same direction you were when you started the roll, and you should not have lost very much speed or altitude. If you did lose a lot of speed or height, that probably means you were performing the roll too slowly. 52 Chapter 6 Flying F-16 · Practice rolls. Always try to make your motions smooth and definite, with a precise objective in mind. Practice rolling until you can perform the maneuver without causing too much change in the direction your aircraft is headed. Half-Roll The full roll is not really a very useful maneuver. After all, you wind up right back where you started. The Half-Roll, on the other hand, is quite handy. It is an important component of several of the more complex flight maneuvers, like the Immelmann and the Split-S. · Get yourself plenty of altitude and airspeed, then check your compass heading for reference. Push the stick right or left, and hold it in that position until you are flying inverted. Use the HUD Pitch Scale to determine when you have achieved inverted flight. Stop the roll when your wings are level and you are flying upside down. Properly done, a half-roll should be quick and precise, without overshooting the roll and having to correct.
