Phantastic, thank you!

Suring the start up sequence once both generators are on, jester will ask what alignment I would like - I think the options are bath, stored headinga and full. I will ask for a bath alignment and usually the jester menu will dissapear and he will do his Nav stuff. Recently I will select bath alignment and the jester menu changes to three circles with random letters inside that 'count down'. Jester will repeat his phrases a few times, then the menu will fade/go. The alignment then takes forever and I end up taxiing before jester is finished. Is this a know bug? I did look back through september and didn't see any reference to this. null

We have the A-7D, Skyraider and A-6 coming at some point, so although I 100% agree on the groundpounding side, the Typhoon will bring the ranks of non-USA swing role jets up to date (you can also hang ground stuff on the hardpoints). Back to the more important question 'When Eurofighter news now?'.

I'm not sure, but it's playable on the AO server with occasional lag spikes not withstanding.Some days it's crystal clear and no lag, otherdays it can 'muddy' very quickly and have some 1 second lag pauses, nearly always near Kob.

That sounds pretty bad. My specs are a little worse than yours, i7-6700 CPU @ 3.40GHz, 32GB RAM and 1070, Quest 3. I'm using the DCS 'VR' preset, and apart from the glacial wait for textures to load in on loading the aircraft in multiplayer, my experience is then usually pretty smooth (view goes a bit 'muddy' after a while). I'm using 'virtual desktop streamer' rather than a cable connection, this has improved things for me. A friendly streamer by the handle 'Hangman Glenn' gave me some great tips that got me up and running again after some frustrating times moving from the rift s to quest, looking to upgrade soon. Good luck.

Does it come with oxygen?

Nice find! Hopefully the front doors will become functional along with the ramp controls as the Chinny moves through early access.

I found it very challenging compared to all the other helicopters in the game, lots of spinning around nose high and then ending in a burning heap...but that's what the AO is all about right? Certainly not as easy to operate as the others, the bank and yaw require a hair trigger approach to trim.

Beating the Apache lot to the front line...

Fantastic, that sounds very promising. Pre-ordered the Ch-47F, thanks for the update BN!

This one?

Please, post away!

Thanks mate, I redid the installation/calibration and it's now a lot more sensible but needs to be inverted for some reson in the in game menu. Just pitch that seems a bit..overly sensititve now.

I re-did the calibration within the VKB software and then inverted the axis to get left/left, right/right. Boy is this thing twitchy in pitch and roll compared to my old stick (X-55 saitek). I used to enjoy close formation, now I can't even get close without porpoising about. Never had an experience like this with a stick, perhaps I need to change the springs or change the stick as i'm just not gelling with it at the moment.

Typhoonatics assemble! Another of Flo's fighter show.. this time the crew are visiting Italian 'Typhoonios' deployed on Baltic air policing.

Late to learn this news as well. Only saw him once, at Boscombe down. He flew the approach alongside the airliner before pulling up and doing a short display having just flown in from Eastern Europe. Amazing to watch and a real display of piloting skills. RIP. https://youtu.be/DiUH3aNPvjg?si=PRnz6elytsx7d4iO

VA-146 Blue Diamonds would be a good scheme, spent many happy nights in a Middle East mess bar with pilots from the unit, who helped me rack up Dads mess bill! null

Excellent stick but I'm getting 100% rudder for a little twist of the stick.. is there a way to turn this down as even simple tasks like taxiing see me swinging across the taxiway like a druken bum.

Only if you want your virtual head to fall off at 9G..

In real life, no. Most Eurofighter pilots have three helmets, HMSS (HMD), Day and NVG helmet. Or below L to R, NVG, HMSS, Day.

Two different helmets, the initial helmet is the Eurofighter Helmet Mounted Symbology System (HMSS) and the picture above is the BAE 'Striker II' helmet, which is a generation ahead of the old HMSS. The 'dot' on Striker II is a digital night vison camera, old school HMSS doesn't have this, so currently RAF Typhoon drivers have three helmets..day, NVG and HMSS. The dot on the HMSS may be a fixing point for the projection system, I forget now. Edit, it's the sensor.

Correct, I don't know of any Eurofighter countries that use it. The Eurofigter AEA is supplied by Survitec in the UK.

Sorry, that was a bit of a bum steer.
