  1. Thank you! I copied 95% of your settings and my fps is much lower... I am doing something wrong here (i-7700k RTX3080 Gaming). I do have 2 screens, perhaps I should turn the second one off and anything running in the background.
  2. Hi, Is there anyone out there that has that section (5 way dial icw 6 x Customisable Momentary Buttons) programmed for the FA-18? I would love to know what your logic is in setting it up and what choices you made. Thanks!!
  3. You have to check how many inputs there are for the flaps full, half full. This is the tutorial I followed:
  4. Is it an option to axis multiple fases... like full is 100-80%, 3/4 flaps is 81-60%, etc? I think it is a standard option in the Virpil software and I know I used somewhere... haven't been flying much lately though.
  5. Any idea when we can preorder? When it becomes available?
  6. Hi, Does anyone know of good Ipad apps so you can control your UFC or MFD from an Ipad? Anyone tried this one? https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dcs-hornet-device/id1453256302 it has only 6 reviews so I am a bit hesitant (on the other hand it's very cheap)...
  7. Where can you set this? Do you have to set this every time you fly?
  8. I have them and can push them fully back, but if you tell me how far you can get them on your desk, I will try that for you and give you the result. I use 3, throttle (short mount), stick long mount (I use the curved extension) and mouse (short mount).
  9. I have Virpril controls. Will check if the register when pressed tonight
  10. Hi, I have set de radar increase (right DDI-PB11) and radar decrease (right DDI - PB12) to a 5 way button joystick. The buttons work, they are linked to PB11 and 12, but when I use the button, the range doesn't change. Am I missing something here?
  11. @naizarak PFFF I wanted to try the RWS-STT mode and the TWS mode and it was a disaster. Yes I did shoot lots of non fighting planes out of the sky but god is it hard to lock one. First: - I set the settings for the AMRAAM to SML - SML for shooting SU-25s - I fly towards them Left DDI AZ/EL (so I can see what height the locked plane is and keep my radar pointing at it), Right DDI A/A Radar en AMPCD on SA So I see several hostile (red) little diamonds. I mode my TDC to the closest and press it 2 times (first press is for LTWS) second it goes into STT mode. I see the Diamond on my HUD and fly towards it, approx 20 miles out. Issue here... it disappears on me (but I am flying straight for it, so my radar should find it?) It pops on my DDI again and I select it again (press the TDC 1 or 2 times). Sometimes it stays locked and I can get into range, sometimes it disappears again and I have to go through the motions again. - can't believe this is the way to go. After I fire my missile, I press undesignate and go for the next but by that time it's almost not BVR anymore. HELP!! I also have the idea that my HAFU's are all 3/4 size which means I means my radar is not responsible for the data???
  12. Hello, I am looking for a very simple training mission where I can practise the different radar modes and functionality within them without being shot at. Does anyone know where I can download one?
  13. Hi, this looks awesome! I am supernew, still learning to use the radar in BVR properly so please don't shoot me for the stupid questions I downloaded 3 zips, all containing a hornet folder, created a KNEEBOARD directory and copied the Hornet folders there and there is now 1 fFA-18C_hornet folder with 24 files. Is that correct?
  14. Thank you! I tried that (so I was on the right way) but even clicking with the TDC on another spike didn't really result in another plane being locked.... I will try again tonight now I know how to do it.
  15. I know in TWS, I was wondering how you select the next boogie when in STT
  16. Ok, when you use STT, I sometimes have damaged, destroyed the first boogie, but don't know how to select the next one. If I slave my TDC to it and press it, even then it will still select the crashing boogie, while I want to select the next one that IS a danger asap.
  17. I thought the missile went of, and then when it switches to TTG, it used it's own radar and I could select the next missile.
  18. Hi, newby here. Still learning (and I need to learn a lot!!), for now I turn and indeed slow down a lot when turning. Are there like rules of thumb like: - speed to take with you into a battle (350+?) - min speed you wish to maintain during a turn? - more tips?
  19. I am trying to learn the ins and outs of the AMRAAM and I found it hard because after firing 1 missile (in STT) to lock the next plane. I just saw a grim reapers video and saw an example of ripple fire in TWS. - how do you lock the next plane in STT - since default radar setting voor AMRAAM when selecting is I assume that should be the way to go - you mostly flight multiple planes (2 or 4) so I assume TWS should be the way to go? I think I am missing something, I am using TDC to click the next target in STT but find it hard to select the next plane. Can someone explain how they do this?
  20. got it working!! Thank you!! (sorry for the late respons)
  21. Well... I tried to day... free flight, under 250 knots, gear out, flaps out.... but my E bracket is waaaaay down like 12-14 degrees down angle. I have no Idea if I have to trim nose up or down. Meanwhile in free flight my load out is not symmetrical, so my plane want to go to the left as well what I am trying to trim... grrrr What I do: Slow down by throttle, when I get under 250 knots, Gear out (for the E bracket) and flaps on full. But it looks like I am falling out of the sky....
  22. @CBStu thank you... I will try that this evening!! Sounds easy to try and absolutely useful! Thanks! using your feedback for my nots. 14 pages of it already!
  23. So when do you trim? You do your gear after the turn, how do you manage the parallel to runway flight and the 3,5G turn? That's where I am already fighting the plane Or is it, you set your speed according your (ICLS?) orange circle and if you lose your E-bracket, you just trim up or down?
