Theres a red coalition, a Blue Coalition, and a neutral coalition- Im curious to see why would you need anything other than that- More colours Id think would be a good idea, but more coalitions? Unless youd want to attack three different coalitions who are attacking each other, then i have to ask when would you need more than two other than for labels in which case why couldnt you just name them insurgents- rather than 'name the particular terrorist group', id be interested to know why that wouldnt be satisfactory? If im to understand, if you were to attack a coalition who are on your side, then you could be blue, the attackers could be red, and the team youre defending can be blue or neutral. Is this not good an unfair and unbiased solution?

The F-5 (i think) might be changing on the 27th but this is the only list we have until ED/DCS recognise that a list is needed/required. Ok, so everything is very easily found on the keyboard, as most of the systems revolve around the cluster of buttons right of the spacebar.. With only the A/A systems needing the left side of the space bar. Once you can find the space bar (in the dark- with your headset on), Youre good to go. Then all you need to know, is the correct buttons to use for each system (which is exacty what youd need to do anywith with a HOTAS). Once youve learned the basics, everything is fully functional from the Touch Controls- anything else youll need in the game can be found by identifying the space bar with your hand.. It works extremely well. Just like it would in any other game. If you however want to bind buttons to your touch controller, you can do that to with 'Touch Binder' software.. But i prefer the keyboard.

I moved away from my HOTAS (Warthog) this year, and moved to Touch Controls. With doing so, i can comfortably play the game anywhere my laptop is.. In VR there is no difference between playing this on a laptop, and a gaming computer/desktop (as youll see from the videos ive tested this game on nearly every setup -even an old RX580) when you play on VR. The in Game settings on a desktop is the same as the in game settings on a laptop. While it takes some practice to master, once you master using them, anything is possible. In my opinion- using them wirelessly with a keyboard seems quicker and more efficient than getting out and plugging in the HOTAS, each time i want to faff around in the game. While some people prefer a HOTAS, i just dont. Even when flying the Huey the ability to just jump straight in, and fly using your body and only hand eye co-ordination just feels way more immersive to me. Only you will know -if its worth buying a HOTAS, just to have the extra buttons at your fingertips, or wether or not, you can do it on the keyboard and have the buttons also at your fingertips. But give it a go, and see where you are. Just becareful as not all modules have Touch Controls enabled.

Мне очень жаль, я не понимаю, я использую переводчик, и это предложение невозможно перевести.

Что ж, миссия, которую я выполнил в Сирии - вы взлетаете с небольшой взлетно-посадочной полосы, летите в Аль-Танф, приземляетесь на полосе длиной 4000 м, разворачиваетесь и перекресток, затем взлетаете и летите на Аль-Бассад. Я мог бы выполнить миссию в стиле Touch and Go, но и ты тоже. Нет особого смысла в создании миссии, если не возникнет проблема? Все, что вам нужно сделать, это сработать спусковой крючок на шоссе, и вы увидите полосу шоссе. Надеюсь, это будет полезно.

I get this all the time.. It leads to MASSIVE memory usage, and stutters in VR. Its down to an incorrectly written script im guessing, so maybe send a message over to whomever designed the mission? Or the admins in control of the Server. Either way, until the mission creator corrects it, its not going away..

I had this issue on a multiplayer server, It only happened to me on one server as if the mission was set up incorrectly- but i cant remember which one..

Id vote for a thunderbirds' livery too?

Turn your settings to low, with lowest possible preload radius reboot, and get into game.. Turn your settings to high, with highest possible preload radius reboot, and get into game.. If theres a big difference in load times, its your settings- If there isnt, its your rig. Just to add, im on an i9- 2080ti 16gb ram, it takes 4-5 minutes to get into a game for me.. When i installed this on an i3, with 8gb ram, and an rx580, it took less time to boot.. Both in VR.

The strenghs and weaknesses of the Hind..

Yeah its bugged right now, hopefully itll be fixed on the 27th, if you want a more specific answer youll have to start a post on the bug page.

Really nice find. Reinforcing Syria as the top map maybe?

This sounds like there is a lot of wires.. Maybe do a few videos so i can understand it a little better.. I get where youre coming from, Ive been there..

Im selling a G940?

Ive said previously, Depending on where the stick is, you get tactile feel from your arm being against what ever it need to be, Huey/FA18 Arms on leg. F16, arms on arm-rest. If i need tactile response from the throttle, youll get that from resting your arm on an arm rest, the young guy i fly with rests his throttle arm on his desk while he refuels in the air. When i 'boot up DCS' I turn 90 degrees right, so my left hand can rest on my desk to use the keyb'. Same if im away on my laptop. Just find a comfy seat and relax. This 'not more immersive', its like i said- Try it, if after two weeks, youve mastered it, can air to air refuel- then fine. Its not for you. But unless you can actually do it, you cant say. I said the same thing before i started into VRTControllers. And i feel its way more immersive. Because youre there in the cockpit, you can see your hands moving around, and you know where everything is. It like the other guys said with HOTAS, sooner or later you have to use a mouse. Its a line, thats too vague to put a finger on. There are arguments for both, But ive never met someone who can fly with both 'well' and decide to go back to a HOTAS. Usually players try it, scream 'this is too hard', and quit. But I welcome others who can do both and decide to go back to a HOTAS, i just cant- now ive hung up the throttle and moved to VRTC. Please dont try.. Just try it for two weeks. Thats all it takes, youll be happy with a desk without wires, then go back.. Id welcome the trial. And be happy to have the feedback.

Are you super seriously into door gunnery online? Is it anything like this when youre in the game? Love this, What gave you the idea to make it?

Lol, Ive always liked you Baldrick.. Without you there would be no list.. Ill always owe you one for that..

Okay, cool.. Well with that in mind, Im going to say as an individual, ive found that not having my HOTAS hasnt limited my game in anyway. So id say that we're probably at the point where a HOTAS isnt needed. Especially when there is so many different modules to cater for..

I understand your thoughts, Having been a HOTAS simmer i can understand where youre coming from. For me, i just cant be bothered to plug in and install the HOTAS again, when i like the feeling of flying with VRTControllers. I mean- the question was asked, Where do you draw the line? Buy a HOTAS, MFD's, Rudder pedals, Panels, Switchboards, then you get into 'driving sims' and buy a Wheel, Shifter, Pedals.. How long until you have to say 'No, thats the line'? Would you consider yourself the type of person whose happy to switch all his flight peripherals to racing peripherals just to play a game? What if you got into Tanks? Wanted to play online and use the Huey? Do you shift your throttle and stick to bring in a Helicopter stick and collective? Im curious, to where youd draw the line.

Really? Thats cool. Why fly in VR when you can fly in real life?

Can you be more specific?

So there is a program called touch binder that allows you to turn the Touch controls into a FULL HOTAS. But i just press Z twice as shown below, trim the Huey to Hover, Trim a little when in the Hover, then carry on with the flight. If you really believe a new HOTAS is going to make the Huey any better then try it, But its alot of money for a few extra buttons. Youll buy the HOTAS then as others have pointed out, youll need rudders, then desk shelves to stick the hotas on. And youll still not have a collective, which feels better with the Touch Controls. I find, youre paying for a HOTAS for the extra buttons, youd be better off with a set of rudder pedals, if you really cant press Z twice. Hope this helps.

Извините, на этот раз я не смог заставить его работать. Я продолжаю работать над этим, но ничто из того, что я делаю, не позволяет поворачивать место без сбоев. Я буду продолжать пытаться добиться этого, проверяя разные участки дороги, но не думаю, что это произойдет в ближайшее время. Буду признателен, если вы поместите запрос на «бетонную плитку» для редактора миссий. Извини

Okay, so You buy a brand new HOTAS £450 for a warthog, then youve got to spend money getting 'Stands/clamps' for the desk at £150? Just to have a few extra buttons- It just doesnt seem like good value to me. Ive seen guys with track IR buying MFD's, and Panels with their HOTAS and im thinking why would you spend that money on that when you can click an MFD in VR.. Then i see guys with VR who buy panels that they cant see without lifting the visor. Where do we draw the line? You want to fly F16, so you move the clamp to the right, then back for the FA-18, then you want to fly the Harrier with a standard throttle too, after a while you see guys having fun in choppers too, so how do you realistically set up a collective for the Huey? Using a HOTAS throttle? I just want to enjoy the game, and the way i play it, means no wires, no hassle, no fuss. I can play anywhere i want, front room on the sofa, in a hotel room miles from home, i can even play on the toilet. It just seems way more efficient than getting my HOTAS out every time i want a 'few extra buttons' when theres a keyboard infront of me. You show me something you can do with a HOTAS, and ill show you how you do it in VR with touch controls. Without having to spend all that extra money on a hotas/ collective/ stands/ mfds.. This is the line, half the poeple want a HOTAS because its easy to fly with (which i agree- with a HOTAS its much easier), which means now they can easily fly a plane, and refuel with ease. The other half want to experience what its actually like to fly an F16 by the pit of their seat. And once youve done everything with VRTC, you kinda look back and ask if its actually worth getting out the HOTAS again? It just wasnt for me. How to refuel in the Air.. So, you might know, that once you click the 'refuel probe/port button', the planes sensitivity is literally halved. So in the F-16 while im sat back in my chair, All i do is fly to it, gauging speed, and move into formation. The F16 is phenomenal, in that its flight model completely changes once youve opened the port. You can literally do it in fog or at night without any real issues of making a mistake. Its that good now! The FA-18 is similar, but as youve a larger window to make a mistake, you just stick it in there and think of england.. Its hard the first time you do it, the second time, its uncomfortable, every time after that its breezy you normally approach at Mach 1, pull 6 g's around the tanker, and just pull up behind 20 knots a little too fast to hear 'cleared contact'. Once youve connected you just look around and take in the view. It aint for everyone, its hard.. But then so is flying a real plane. If it was as easy as that, we'd all be pilots. I could hook my HOTAS up right now, have wires everywhere, trim out my plane, and air- to air in about 30 seconds without really needing to touch the controls, or i could just pick up my quest (with Virtual Desktop so no wires), and do it as close to how ive seen them do it in the Navy / Airforce.. Have a go.. Make a video.. Its good fun..

So- everything in the FA18 can be controlled with one hand, while you fly with the other. So the space is launch, Right Alt + space is weapon release for bombs/weapons, comma- full stop- and forward slash is left, down and right with semicolon being up. With Right alt down, i can control which screen (sensor) to operate using comma, forward slash, or semicolon. Left/ Right MFD, Up= Hud etc Once ive warmed up the TGP with the switch on my right hand, I can then use my left hand to control the right Screens (MFD) FLIR and then assign a target moving the TGP's sights the cursors just mentioned, and then using Right ALT and forward slash to (in basic term) select a target spot- to where my JSOWS will end up, and then press enter to confirm. Then all i have to do, is Right Alt and Space to launch a JSOW from 30 miles out 30,000ft in the air.. You can fire at, and launch 8 JSOWS, in about 40 seconds using your left hand. Then usually i turn, dive, and pull out in a hope that the SAMs that have just fired lose their momentum (energy). This routine is the same, with most of the weapons on the FA18. All you need to do is learn the different weapons.
