Yeah - i so hyped even the wife now knows there are coming a Hercules and i will be "un-available" the first days of release

Thanks for the feedback!

Oh Man... it seems you just stepped into the huge pit of immersion addiction. I know what I am talking about Here are a few more things that can drive one much deeper into that particular addiction. 1. Hand tracking 2. Force feedback 3. 6 DOF motion platform 1 and 2 I have in place already. 3 will come some day. For hand tracking I use an Ultraleap Leap 2 tracking camera mounted to the Pico 4 Headset. Can you imagine to flick switches in the cockpit just with your fingers? That's what I do with my left hand, e.g. to enter frequencies via the UFC. On the right hand I wear a finger mouse and get a small cross where I point my finger. The finger mouse allows the use of the mouse wheel for rotary controllers such as the DDIs brightness knobs . And with both mouse button one can switch forth and back on rotary switches like the radar mode switch. DCS provides some options to set it up accordingly. There is just one issue. Sometimes your hand is tracked and something gets activated, but you don't know it. And suddendly you are bailed out of the Hornet, because you rested your hand on your thigh... And, your simpit should be rather spacy to prevent that you throw your hand into something. After the first flights with the brilliant Heatblur F4 Phantom module, I felt the need to be able to trim as it works in real analog planes. With no feedback a proper trim is rather hard to achieve. So I bought a Moza AB9 force feedback base. Now, I can feel the planes behaviour. And, it rumbles pretty well, so I dont feel the need for a shaker. Furthermore, flying helos is so much easier now. Next level and already planned is a 6 DOF motion platform... Just need to find some arguments for my wife why I can't live without Cheers

For the couple times I've raised issues with them they've been keen to set up video/screenshare calls, to work past the language issues (which also made me give up on a 3rd occassion when I was trying to recommend a feature). They also accepted a youtube clip with me annotating "look! there is the issue! look at it!" and pushed a simapppro patch a couple days later which I appreciated.

Any chance of getting the mod working again with current version of DCS F-16C? Other weapons aren't really necessary, so at least the CFT tanks themselves would function and their capacity would be displayed correctly.

This is what it looks like after installing the Modern MPD 2.1.54MOD. The cursor does not move. When I remove the mod, and everything works fine.

Looks like that's a straight up upgrade! I have downloaded it but haven't played with it yet. Any chance to make it not needing to overwrite the default cockpit skin while being select able on the Sabre's special tab back and forth with the default? Outstanding work.

I've heard things like this but there's no wpt 59 in the data page of HSI

I would love to see programmable or selectable failures (maybe via the HB UI) to practice emergencies like in a real simulator...

The problem I noticed talking to WW is that they're Chinese, and the person I was talking to was obviously using an automated translator. Leaving aside cultural differences, this makes the conversation awkward. I'd imagine a truly proficient English speaker might be hard to come by in China, and WW being a small company, they probably don't have any.

Приобрел я себе базу MOZA AB9. С джойстиком затруднений не возникло, у меня две ручки Thrustmaster F-16 – одна от HOTAS WARTHOG, другая – от HOTAS COGUAR. Обе определяются базой как родной джойстик MOZA MH16. Удлинители от базы Thrustmaster AVA тоже подошли, но с оговоркой. На той стороне, которая прикручивается непосредственно к базе, у удлинителей AVA есть два дополнительных выступа, которые мешают так сразу присоединить их к базе MOZA (на фотографии обвел их красными кружками). Пришлось взять дремель и напильник, и спилить эти выступы. После такого тюнинга удлинители стали полностью совместимы с базой MOZA. С креплением базы было всё просто. В начале лета я купил набор от MONSTERTECH для крепления РУСа и РУДа Thrustmaster HOTAS WARTHOG и базы Thrustmaster AVA к своему игровому креслу. Заодно в комплект при заказе добавил и пластину крепления под MOZA AB9 (была у меня чуйка, что я куплю таки со временем базу MOZA AB9))). Поэтому отсоединить пластину с базой AVA и установить вместо неё пластину с базой MOZA было делом практически нескольких минут. Длина профиля крепления MONSTERTECH позволяет крепить базу под креслом на любой желаемой высоте практически от пола до сиденья кресла, в зависимости от размера установленного удлинителя или его отсутствия. Получил неожиданный бонус. Поскольку база жестко прикреплена к игровому креслу, то вибрация от базы передается также сиденью и спинке кресла. Поэтому все вибрации базы я ощущаю не только рукой, но и пятой точкой ))). Что несколько улучшает погружение в игру.

@RazorbackNL & @Slippa i forgot to share a link. https://www.windowscentral.com/software-apps/windows-11/how-to-manage-virtual-memory-on-windows-11 razor has 128 GB of RAM so the pagefile is not necessary. i have mine set to 32 GB. slippa if you have less than 64 GB RAM, add a 32 GB pagefile.

DCS MiG-29 is very easy to land. After a lot of grief some years ago the flight model was significantly improved and feels very good nowadays.

Ich könnte jetzt fragen, was glaubt ihr, wie lange es noch bis zum Release dauert...aber ich kenne die Antworten schon..."soon" und "two more weeks" . Deshalb eine andere Frage. Hat ED schon etwas über die diversen Farbschemen der Mig-29 verkündet. Ist die deutsche Version der Mig-29 vorgesehen? Das hoffe ich sehr und wünsche es mir. Insgesamt freue ich mich auf die Mig-29. Es scheint ein effektives Flugzeug ohne viel "SchnickSchnack" zu sein. Prinzipiell scheint jede Funktion seinen eigenen Schalter zu haben...herrlich. Keine verschachtelten Displays, keine Luftbetankung und auch keine gelenkten Bodenwaffen, wenn ich das richtig verstanden habe...da fällt viel Komplexität weg. Ich bin sehr gespannt darauf!

Is anybody using Winwing Joystick Desk Mount2 with Profile Bar 1 together with tm warthog stick? Can it be used along with stick extension 12 cm?

Erding would be my personal dream come true, was stationed there ... roundabout 40 years ago

The question is about if is is working (as is not broken), not if it is supported…

Not sure what exactly you mean but there are two different versions of the Quest 3. One with 128 GB internal storage and one with 512 GB. If there is a shop that sells only a Q3 you should have a look in the description which one it es. For DCS only the small version is sufficiant but in case you want to play several games on the Q3 as standalone device you should consider if you need the bigger one.

Did you update DCS recently? I find I have to re-install the MH-47 stuff every time it updates or I clean the game. The textures are stored in the ZIP file in the CoreMods folder. Every time the game updates or whatever, it cleans that file. If it's just the textures you're lacking that's more than likely what it is. If you're talking about using the MH-47 mod along with the Guns-A-Go-Go Android just made, it was actually simple. I'm not saying how I did it unless he okays it though.

What was FPS at the low-level fly v.s. the FPS in air? My experience for both are different.

Hello, one question please. There are Meta Quest 3 128 & 512 headsets and Meta Quest 3 headsets! What is this headset model? Thank you for your help. Have a good flight.

How'd you get the MH-47 mod working? I tried it this week and many of the textures wouldn't load anymore. I tried doing a line by line comparison between the mod CH-47F LUA and the default one. While noticing some differences and updating the mod with the new LUA, it wouldn't load. Hopefully you can share. Thanks

Can you rephrase that?

Is my quote in like Chinese to anyone else or is that just me and I'm having a stroke?

It has been some month since I played this campaign and some points I can approve like there are much more complex campaigns outside with more focus on real life procedures. But this is not what RotPL wanted to be. I realy enjoyed this campaign and the following two (RotPL2 and OGL). I like them espacially because they are somewhat less complex. When I have not much time on the evening but whant to get a nice ride in the hornet I love to pick on of Badgers campaigns. I read the briefing, get a time estimation and then sit in the cockpit and do what my players says he is doing. No hours of reading through PDFs no complex procedures to be followed. Allways an interresting and sometimes challanging task, some nice plot twists and sometimes a roge bogey catches up on your way home and lets you get rid of the extra weight of your Air to Air ordonance. I realy love the staging and lighting. Very much atmosphere and the campaign helped me learn the hornet very much. I think its a beginner friendly, quite immersive and beautifull campaign, that is not and does not want to be a study level hardcore campaign. Allthough I realy like such hardcore campaigns, I love to fly this more casual ones from time to time.
