  1. Do you remember the gazelle release or to a lesser extent the F16? The one thing it showed was that the DCS community want it 'now' but will also throw teddies out the cot if there are issues. The bad taste people will get from that would long outlast any disappointment people might get from a delay. We have waited this long, another month or two isn't that big a deal in the long run. Heatblur have provided top of the range, module defining releases in the past and I'm sure this will be another one. These things happen.
  2. Just had the same issue. Have flown it twice, each time I can't get anything from anyone. Flew egress then to padres? For Exxon. Even flew formation with Exxon and also went back to Marshall but no further comms etc. On the plus side the kneecards look phenomenal in vr on the pilot body now. Can read them without issue.
  3. I'd love too but this game is the closest I'm ever going to get to flying a jet of any sort. All I can say is it feels better now, it feels less on rails now, a little closer to Heatblur's tomcat with regards to maintaining speed in turning and needing more finesse. The landings feel a little better now. I trust that ED have SMEs who have helped design this new model to be closer to the real thing. All I can say is I am liking these changes the more I try them.
  4. @wilbur81I found the same thing initially compared to the old model but less stick back pressure (think tomcat) and it will whip about without the bleed of speed. It's going to take a little practice but I'm really liking it.
  5. Having more of a play around and whilst I think the undercarriage feels a little soft if you land air force style, doing case recoveries on the boat or landing navy style at an airfield it feels much better to me. Kinda liking it. Also the quality of the kneeboard in VR is amazing! Just did a Raven One mission and was able to read it off the knee rather than opening up a window. Very immersive!
  6. With regards BFM and bleeding speed I'm liking the new feel. It's a little closer to the tomcat in as far as much finer inputs have a bigger impact, be it bleeding or adding knots. I'm finding I'm pulling on the stick a lot less and getting a better rate in the turn. I did notice the undercarriage feels much softer on landing though. Made me feel like one side had collapsed momentarily. All in all I'm really liking it. Haven't tried pulling on the paddle yet, there was a suggestion it could lead to jamming surfaces etc at high G. Would be interested to see if that's the case as I like the idea.
  7. Hi @Reflected, have been playing through this again using the new hivis skin and updates and loving it more than ever. Just finished the first 4 ship and flying in formation on the way in and the new paint scheme pops with the other aircraft. Would make a brilliant wallpaper.
  8. Hi @zarusoba10, could I suggest you have a look at the Fly and Wire website by @Karon. think it will have exactly the sort of thing you are looking for.
  9. Hi @IronMike, apologies if this has been answered elsewhere. I have looked but been unable to find it. Is there anywhere that we can get images of each of the panels? Obviously in the manual you show them with numbers and then broken down by switch, but what i would like is clear close ups of each overall panel in turn. My plan (yes its nerdy) would be to print them out so i can work through the checklists and get comfortable with the switchology and where everything is so I'm set for my first cold and dark on release. Ta
  10. Hi @IronMikespotted a typo in the oil system paragraph of the engines section. sixth sentence down, "rive" assuming it should be "drive".
  11. Quick question. On the cockpit overview/weapons panel the delivery mode knob has a setting called INST O/S but I can't find it on the picture? There is a TOSS option.. is that it?
  12. Reading through this and the thing that has me most excited is the new approach to training and Ground Chief. As with the Tomcat I think HB are raising the bar yet again! Can't wait to learn this module inside out! I was just wondering how much the recent Speed and Angels campaign has influenced the new training route? It sounds a total win!
  13. In the special settings for the f14 make sure the burble isn't ticked. ED have updated theirs but it means you get a double whammy on approach if you are also using heatblurs. Other than that both the A and B fly really well in all regimes for me.
  14. That's brilliant thanks @near_blind, I thought it might be the case but cleared my confusion.
  15. Hi all, I wonder if someone can help. I have watched the tutorials by Jabbers and gone through the manual but still confused. My plan is that I would like to loft some bombs at a target protected by SAMs from the front seat. My first thought was to find it with the Lantern, designate and then get low and loft. Is there anyway of doing this with Jester? Or do you need a real RIO? Is it a tech limitation as the Lantern is a separate system does it not send any data to the aircraft? Does the pilot need to still manually get the diamond in place and designate first? Any help would be gratefully received, thanks in advance.
