Q3ark

It does indeed. I typically redefine the controls to the trim hat on my stick, then get it where I want when I’m in VR, save the angles and reset my trimmer controls, nice and easy.

just do this, it’s the same process in all the DCS aircraft. Do it once save your angles and forget about it.

Nobody knows

I noticed that the P47 doesn’t seem to have received the new canopy reflections yet, they’re excellent in the F14, F16 and the P51. Is there any news on when or if they’ll be brought to the Thunderbolt?

edit never mind I completely miss read what you wrote there

I’ve been watching this thread for a while and I have to say it is getting utterly ridiculous in here, this is beyond rivet counting, it’s just madness. Some of the behaviour and attitudes displayed is appalling.

This!! Yes please, I want it to sound like Seth Rogan laughing his arse off!!

Yeah it does have wing flex modelled, it looks really cool too, you can also see the wings flexing when you taxi, it’s much more pronounced if you taxi with them swept forward.

I don’t know where everyone gets the idea that CRT screens were fuzzy and hard to see properly. They were as good as what signal you put in them, if you’re using an old VCR with poor quality tapes that’ve been recorded over countless times then you’re going to get a pasty rubbish picture. CRT’s were good, look at CRT computer screens from that era, as long as you didn’t let them burn in they were crisp and clear.

Fair enough, I was misunderstanding what I was seeing there. I suppose if you never un age it, you’ll never need to cage it

The ADI in the pilots cockpit cages as soon as you turn off electrical power. Try it, get the ground crew to connect you to ground power, un-cage the ADI then get them to disconnect the ground power, it’ll then cage itself

I suppose it could be a checkbox in the mission editor, the same as with removing the weapon stations on the Huey.

The ADI cages by itself once you shutdown, I noticed it after a flight yesterday, it spun down wobbled a bit then the caged flag came out.

Thanks brother! That is helping, time to see if I can get some overtime at work to pay for it

I was considering this, I’m currently using a warthog stick (F/A-18 add on) and throttle with the pendular rudder, it’s a perfectly fine setup, but I really want a decent F-14 stick and I’ve read that the Virpil one isn’t as good as the VKB one. I’m trying to justify the expense lol

Does anyone here have the VKB F-14 stick? If so what is your opinion of it? How are the buttons? I’m thinking of going for it with the gunfighter mk3 base, but would like to hear your opinions as it’s quite expensive for a single aircraft.

I’ve found three rotary light switches on the bottom of the power panel on the right, only one of them seems to do anything (turns on the backlight for some of the flight instruments), there’s two of the same kind of switch on the front right hand engine instrument panel, only one of those seems to do anything (turns on the backlight for the left wall switches) EDIT So I was doing my testing using the APU, not all the panel lights come on until you’re running off the main generators

I'm also having this issue sine 2.7, i thought it was just the rocket selector switch but it's all guarded switches.

I'm also having this issue since 2.7

Thanks gents, I thought I was going stupid not being able to figure it out.

Hi guys, I was wondering if the F-16 MIDS has a voice channel like the F/A-18 MIDS does, and if so how do you transmit over it?

Why are people getting so hung up on this? Just don’t use the thing. This is nothing more than a case of “people aren’t playing the game the way I want them to”

If you’re flying in VR you don’t use the blue cross cursor to interact with the radio menu. It’s a little white dot, move the blue cross past the radio menu and you’ll see it, it’s a bit weird but you get used to it.

I was going to try and help, but you’re just acting all entitled and arrogant, figure it out yourself.

Check that you don’t have some weird double key bindings, the RIO doesn’t have the ability to select weapons.
