VoiceAttack with VAICOM. "Look for Ground Targets" (or SAMs, or ships, or tanks, or activity) You just tell Jester what to do. VA with VAICOM is literally a gamechanger.

I haven't checked in a while, and I'm running v 7.4.0, so there might be something newer, I don't get the full experience, I'm on my own until my nose is pointed somewhere near a cat, and then I'm guided in by the deck crew, and everything is normal from there.

Using the handbrake avoids the differential braking issue, it's pretty much a fast and easy braking, as long as you're under about 85. (realists hate this one simple trick )

I never hop into the RIO seat for anything, so I may be giving some useless information here, but if you flip the autopilot on, it instantly trims your plane to neutral. Have you tried that? Also, what are you getting into the RIO seat for? (unless you're actually flying as the RIO)

Thanks, a large part of my day job includes programming and tweaking small things, so I just prefer not to trust other programmers when I don't have to. It's quick, efficient, and I know exactly what it's doing, but I don't "generally" have a problem with mod managers for ppl that aren't so inclined.

I'm not saying you can't somehow, but that would be news to me. I suppose you could try setting the entire Walkman dir to Ready Only, that might do it, but I don't recall anything about being able to have multiple folders.

lol, oh ya, forgot about that one... have also run into that, usually trying to refuel/rearm somewhere mid-mission.

That doesn't strike me as the kind of problem a re-install would have anything to do with, I would look elsewhere first. Going from memory, assuming your canopy is open, I switch to ICS, then it's option 8, option 2, option 1, I believe, from the Comms menu (8,5,1 for Ground Air Supply).

Do you have the latest versions of VoiceAttack and VAICOM? (should be 2.1.6 and 3.0.4.0 respectively)

AFAIK you cannot create different folders with different music, but you could write a little batch file or something to swap out the music for whatever you want. The location is: \Program Files\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\F14\Sounds\Walkman (obviously, your install path may be slightly different, but it's not in the savedgames area). As long as your replacement songs have the same names and format, it will play them, but you will have to replace them again on every update. I keep mine in a separate folder, and every time there's an update, I run a batch file that resets various customizations including the songs. After pointing it to the directory I store my music in, the command I use is: copy song*.ogg "C:\Program Files\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\F14\Sounds\Walkman\" >nul

If the plane has no power, you need to open the canopy, so the ground crew that does the work, can hear you.

We should debate this.

Dumb question, but what is the difference between DCS UFC, and DCS UFC X?

Tilting vertically, I don't think that can be done. Rotating horizontally, yes, that can be done. It is a PS2 connector in there, and you can lower the handle to sit rotated slightly to the left or the right, then lock it in with the knurled cover so it doesn't move around. Once that's done, you definitely don't want to be rotating it any more, or you will rip the wiring inside (ugh, don't ask how I know that).

I'm sure it's just me, but do you mean, rotated, or tilted? Because, yes, you can rotate them to anywhere you like by locking the collar at whatever spot you want it to be, but I don't think you can custom-tilt them, and looking at a picture of an F-15, I can only see a slight rotation.
