  1. Checking this box hides the control stick in the F-18, L-39, etc, but not in the F-5E. Neither is there a "Hide Control Stick" bindable control like the F-18 has. This was reported in Ticket #43440 on April 29, 2018. So am I correct that this is the way the F-5E is supposed to work, and that being able to hide the control stick is not/never was in the module design specification, and never will be? Or will this capability be fixed/added/repaired/upgraded at some unspecified time in the future?
  2. Thank you so much Art-J ! You have 1) validated that I am not the only one who is aware of this. 2) and that the "fix" is to get used to it ! (Which is fine with me. I just wanted to know what was going on.) Now I just have to figure out which rudder pedals to buy. Thanks again !
  3. I am a pilot IRL, new to DCS, and am finding it very challenging. I selected the L-39C as my first module, since I have a dozen hours in two real L-39's, and I have no flight time in any of the other modules (except the Christen Eagle). In the DCS L-39, when making line-up corrections on short final, I roll left and the nose yaws right (the wrong way) initially before tracking left. Same for roll right. At 200 knots level, half-aileron results in the ball moving a full width out-of-place. These are the classic symptoms of adverse yaw. Not enough rudder being co-ordinated with the ailerons. Almost all prop planes (and all gliders) have some amount of adverse yaw. The trouble is: real L-39's have NO adverse yaw, none, and need NO co-ordination of the rudder with the ailerons. (Like almost all jets, I've been told. I wouldn't know. The L-39 is the only real jet I have flown). I would not care about most flight model errors. But I do this one, because I notice it every time I move the stick, and it impacts the basic control of the aircraft. I don't have rudder pedals yet, and applying just the right amount of stick twist is very challenging. And I should not have to be adding rudder in the first place to fly this aircraft. I assume there is an error in the Flight Model? The module has always been like this, and I just need to get used to it? Or it's a new bug that's appeared? Or I have the controls set up improperly? Or it's something else? Like I said, I am brand new to DCS. Can someone more DCS experienced that me (that would be anyone) help me with what is going on?
