Very cool. I haven´t had this idea but will give it a try soon.

Oh dear! It´s finally nice to sit in the cockpit of the F-5. Thanks a lot Bummer.

Being really bad in flying helicopters, having the C 101 which is way to swift for this task, I lately use my beautiful Yak 52 to discover the maps in a very slow pace. There´s so much detail to explore and discover that I´d never have noticed balzing along with Mig 21 or Viggen, which is certainly great and entertaining as well. Creating a mission with a makeshift airstrip on a suitable plain field east of Haifa and off we go towards the rising sun. For me a whole new lovely experience of DCS.

It's hard to believe, but I spent countless hours in front of those pixelated CGA graphics back then and was completely spellbound by them.
My father always said that he couldn't understand why I was so fascinated by it?
You can't really see anything! What is that supposed to be, another plane and a hangar?
My father brought me to all the airplane-stuff. Bitburg and Spangdahlem just around the corner, he often spoke about events there long before I set foot on earth. No surprise then when finally getting the Amiga 500 to replace the C 64, we both stared amazed on the perfect images of bad-ass "Fighter Bomber".
As someone mentioned above ... how far we have come.

I own the A10 C for a couple of years now without using her at all. But yesterday I gave it a firts serious try. Jesus! What great a simulation this Warthog is. Even lighting the beast up in hangar felt great. Needless to say that I do not master any of her systems yet. But using some very basic rockets, bombs and the gun was pure joy. As long-term afficionado of the Fishbed I fear there´s a second favourite airframe now for me :). Oh dear oh dear.

I'm glad you had fun playing, good for you. In terms of fun I could play games like War Thunder or Ace Combat, but I want to play a realistic module with as few bugs as possible. I have been watching this forum for 8 years now and have come back to check out the module every year or so, every time leaving again because it hasn't changed fundamentally. I'm ok flying with some bugs or unrealism for a while because you know, people make mistakes. But flying with the same bugs for 8 years is quite frustrating and seriously ruins my fun and immersion.
All I can say is that DCS in general and M3 in particular have all the incentive to create buggy alpha-version modules and no incentive to finish a module. Don't add more incentive to developers to create unfinished modules.
I´d suggest you rather get a real MiG21bis then.

Far from being a master on this bird I´d promote her any day nonetheless. The systems are very intuitive and easy to use and most important for me, the behaviour in flight and on the ground feels kinda right. Excessive inputs on the controls cause excessive ractions of the airplane, unlike in different sims or models nothing is "on rails" here. She prefers a gentle hand. Even if things might appear a bit weird when reaching her limits, e.g. at very low or stall speed, it still feels kind of correct. And in all earnest: That is already a lot of an achievement for a flight-sim! Conclusion: until a real MiG21 pilot proves that the flight-model is utter garbage - as some people in the forum tend to write - this airplane will be my joy in DCS.

I hope you'll find it as absorbing as many of us have found it.
If you cant add a damper to the pedals, loosen them up to ease the strain on your legs. Also look up the You Tube videos from Casmo TV about rotor theory and trasiitioning and the ones from AVTerminus on handing the Hip. Both will save you a lot of "WTF" moments and are full of great tips to really help you appreicate the module. Devrim's Black Cockpit mod looks great whilst Grajo's Rough Met mod brings the externals to life. You'll need to have your Textures on high with hip as its an old old cockpit but the performace hit isnt as big as on the more recent modules. Oh and in the "special" tab for the Mip , turn off "Controls Helper" - my personal experience is that it does the opposite to helping anything!
See you somewhere on a mountain pass pulling off a single engine overweight landing in blinding snow!
Ok then :). My first brief résumé of the 8 as a helicopter-beginner is simply great fun. My take-offs look like a drunkard holds the stick, landings usually break something important. But I dearly love it already! Is there an english cockpit for version 2.7 already?
-
For my beloved jets - Mig21, Viggen and C101 - i managed well without pedals. Now I finally ordered pedals and the warthog-hotas and I am really looking forward to the Mi8 I purchased some years ago. It´ll be a challenge being an almost complete helicopter-noob and most likely the community will be bombed with rookie questions
but that thing... I fell in love with it at once.

Never understood the fascination with the F4. Apart from being a very capable weapons platform (AIM7, RIO, and probably the best fighter radar in service at the time) and being carrier capable, it's not like it was some kind of aeronautical engineering marvel of it's time. Maybe it's a historical thing. I guess different strokes for different folks.
50 years of sevice :). speed and climbing records, many air forces around the globe, damned sexy beast... so i ask "apart from the aqueduct, what have the romans ever done for us?" answer enough?

Ah yes, C-101 is really top notch and I use it with great pleasure. There is no single switch or function that was left out. Even if simple, comparing to 4th gen fighters, I think it is actually most in-depth module in DCS. Aviodev really pushed bar with that one, and their Mirage F-1 is no brainer for me because of that. And 101 is quite capable light attack, with really nice range of munitions. Setting up night attack with illumination rockets is challenging, but really fun. But what I really, really like in this thing is nav equipement. You have everything, from ADF to GPS. I started to deploy any kind of munitions after I learned how to navigate and land in bad weather and at night. No point in that, if you can't find your way back and end sortie in one piece. And 101 is great teacher. I really love her.
very nice! for navigation equipment i have to learn more, but i totally agree on her fighting capabilities. it takes a bit of practice to get the bombs on target though. yesterday i tried the illumination rockets for the first time. taking off at 4 AM in beirut heading for a camp in the mountains. i either shot a bit too far or dumb in the ground :). but it looks really good. is there any good mission where reconnaissance and target marking plays a role? or, is it possible to setup interesting missions, where you don´t know the kind of targets and their position. i´d have a lot of fun in that.

personally i love the little older models most, like the mig21 and saab viggen. the suggestion made above to purchse the aircraft you´re appealed by most is perfect. you´ll train her and master her with pleasure. objectively, a true gem of the modern era is the c101 aviojet. i discovered that very late though. the light attack-aircraft and trainer teaches "good" flying and is outstandingly well modelled in physics and avionics. but as everything, it´s a matter of taste too

If they can install a steerable nosewheel on a $50K civilian aircraft economically, what they did here is engineering malpractice. Yes I worked in the industry for decades (not to brag), because I would have made the same remarks if all I did was build bridges. It's just common sense to any engineer. I will still enjoy this sim. I just still get my fur brushed the wrong way sometimes. LOL
Trainers, like this is supposed to be, are supposed to act as much like the aircraft flight operations of the aircraft they are training for. Trainers don't need the radar systems or 50,000lb ordinance capabilities, but they should operate as much the same as the advanced systems, without the transonic capabilities. Can you imagine an F-15 pilot dragging the nose around with the left brake and the nose wheel pointing straight? This is the kind of feature worthy of Microsoft Marketing. (tongue in cheek)
it´s just good old flight school mate. the amount of braking until the rudder gets effect is tiny tiny. also on the c101. i wouldn´t call it bad engineering. on the photo you see the plane i started flying with after beeing a glider pilot for a longer time. and of course the front wheel steers in with the moevement of the aircraft and does not point always straight ahead! it works outstandingly good and turns super tight on the ground. you also develope a good feeling for brakes and throttle. just perfect in my eyes.

It has more to do with borked ground physics in DCS (not only for C-101), than the limitation of the actual system.
In real life a free castoring wheel with a differential braking allows the aircraft to have even smaller turn radius than with the steerable front wheel, as the aicraft can basically pivot around its inner main wheel.
taxiing she turns on a dime indeed! after using the c101 finally more and more these days, even though i purchased her a couple of years ago, i must admit that she´s one of the finest models in dcs. everything feels correct, the cockpit is a pleasure in functionality and optics. simply a very great module!!

Would love to get hands on a F 105! She was also stationed here in the Eifel in Spangdahlem back in the day.

thx for the reply. she consumes fuel but the flow doesn´t change when going full afterburner. anyway i´ll check later again
-
hey pilots, yesterday i experienced that the fuel flow gauge on my beloved viggen does not change at all between AB 1-III. i´m pretty sure there has been a huge difference as it should be. anyone else having that issue?
also when rearming - i think it´s been mentioned already - the external tank does not get filled again. deleting and refitting it solves the minor issue as a little work-around.

I'm not talking about competitive/balanced MP, I'm talking about realistic missions in either SP/MP.
the very competitive multiplayers can/want to also pull 9g+ all the time ;). the very best thing of DCS is caring for realism! i do not own the f16 yet, but i´m sure she´s quite a capable little fighter. if the chosen model cannot fire 4 HARMs, why even make a poll for it? my viggen cannot fire single unguided rockets but only all at one time. and it´s good that way, because it´s just correct. and that makes the appeal of a realistic simulation. live with the "limitations" and do your best. best wishes, fleur

She was loved by many experienced pilots. By those pilots who learned flying pre-war. Above all the earlier versions e.g. E and F. Then she became heavier and heavier in engine and armament. The pilot-education less and worse. Take a look at her long and farg-going evolution. Apart from minor adjustments the frame stayed the same. A K4 must´ve been spectecular in stats and sounds -
- but definetely far less enjoyable in handling than her early predecessors. Dont´know if the module-developers ever contacted Walter Eichhorn, most likely the one alive who knows flight characteristics of a 109 best.

Hello Pilots! New to the forum but a fan of DCS for a couple of years now I´ll send you my best wishes from Germany. As the user JetJake76 mentioned further up I made my digital flights first on a C64 too :). Gloriuous to experience my favourite simulator in the splendid quality we have now! Real life flying for me was a couple of hundred hours in gliders mostly but also in single engine moran-saulniers. Life later drove me to simulator "only" :). My most beloved and used planes are the Mig21 and the Viggen. Aviojet, P47 and I16 are close up. Kind regards, Fleur79

Thunderchief and Phantom haven´t been aerobatic-specialists and yet they were used for it. Amazing, ain´t it? The module will have flaws like all simulated things. She hopefully will be polished to the maximum possible. I only purchased her today and it´s awesome! Very immersive, straightforward and unlike other simulated airframes she doesn´t tolerate just everything. Now I have to learn plenty of new stuff with my shiny bird :).
