GVO

Have the same problems in some missions (SP). I also just keep it in idle, salute and then it launches.

Thank you, I will definitely read that! I guess, I'm looking for more overall mindset/tactic on how to approach BVR. Lets say it's a 2-ship vs. 2-ship. What formation should your wingman be in. If the bogeys gets the first shot, what would be "normal" practice, e.g. turning 180, cranking or something else? Would you fire a missile out of range to put the bogey on the defensive? Works in DCS but would you do that in real life? It's just questions coming up, as I try to get deeper in BVR :) There is plenty of good tutorials on most things but haven't seen many on this topic.

Yeah sorry, meant Fox 1 :) Will edit my post

Hello everyone, Does anyone know where I can find some info, videos, documents about which tactics are used in real life BVR? Especially for Fox 1 scenarios but also Fox 3. Besides wanting to learn about this topic, I'm also interested what pilots would do in real life. I mean, in DCS it's risk free to crank incoming missiles or whatever maneuvers we do in the sim :) Have a great weekend, GVO

Glad I looked in this thread. If I want to buy a seat like that, any good suggestions? Thanks

Happy New Year everyone. Just wanted to send my deepest regards to HB for their work. Are really enjoying the Viggen again. I have most planes in DCS but I still always go back to my Tomcat and Viggen! They just have another level of detail. With that I so hope that HB will continue to work with DCS.

Just noticed the handmovement when you use your stick. And also the details of the pilotbody. Extremely well done!

If really makes a difference when flying in VR :) So happy it’s there now. Can’t wait for the Tomcat pilot

Thanks HB. The pilotbody looks fantastic!

This. Thanks for a great update! Really appreciated

Found the solution here, for anyone else interested: http://forum.vkb-sim.pro/viewtopic.php?p=28475#p28475

Hello, I'm trying to make the POV 2 a 4-way button hat. I really tried "everything" in the VKB Device Config (v0.90.19), even setting it up just like the POV 1 which is working as a 8-way buttonhat. And I want my POV 2 just like that. I hope that makes sense :)

I didn’t use time accel. And yes after jester check in, I was orbiting around for 20-25 mins and nothing happened. I tried flying at different altitudes to see if that could activate a trigger. I will give it another go tomorrow. It seems like a fantastic mission

Hmm have the same problem. After I check in with the marines, nothing happens. Will try again

Thanks QuiGon for answering my paranoid questions. I was just worried we would loose Heatblur :) Have a nice weekend

Thanks for the link! I really hope that is still true even though the post is from 2017. My worry is that after they announced the cooperation with a company they haven't, to my knowledge, said "yes, we will still work with DCS" even with so much speculation and discussion. Every time the answer has been very very vague. They don't even have to say what they're working on but just one stating comment about the future.

Ah yes true but my question was more in terms of will Heatblur do more modules for DCS. Or is that answered in that thread? Then the mod can just delete this :)

Even though the Viggen and Tomcat is not out of EA yet, I'm wondering what (if any) is Heatblur's next project? Or is the Tomcat the last DCS module we will see from you? Both modules are just fantastic, so it would be a great loss for DCS but understandable if new opportunities came with the option to work with ... (can't remember the company name). Anyway thanks for giving us Viggen and the Tomcat! Have a great weekend

I have a very strange problem. My waypoints are waaaaay off. Waypoint 1 is something like 220 miles away and in the wrong direction. And I do the correct startup and INS alignment and wait for the OK before putting it into NAV. I never had this problem before. I wonder what I do wrong? Should I enter my coordinates?

Any news on this? Or can anyone recommend some products. Was checking Monster Tech but although they seem really nice, the price is quite high. I have a VKB Gunfigther mk II and Warthog Throttle. I noticed that Virpil have a mount for the throttle. Can a VKB joystick be used on their products? Thanks

Was actually just wondering this myself. Haven’t been trapping for quite a while now and when I took a few runs today I was wondering just this. One example, doing the turn, gear and flaps down, added some power not to drop and when I came out of the turn, I reduced power like usual but I felt like a balloon just going up. My speed was under 140-45 and on AoA before and during the turn. Its probably just me forgetting how to trap properly but it felt different from what I remember

I also got that error but if you replace (with original files) all the 3 glass-related files in bazar/shaders/model/ and glass.hlsl in bazar/shaders/model/functions. This worked for me at least Edit: or remove them from the zip file before adding/overwriting

Wow, got my S today and what a difference from CV1. Definately worth the money. Its very nice to finally be able to read most gauges etc.

Really great work, thanks!

Bump. Would be interested to know this as well
