Hi Chapo I mean im not a navy guy at all, but afaik this aircraft is all about operating from a carrier, right. And simply by looking at any map, you get an estimation, what distances these guys are dealing with. I would say, we are talking about seriously long hours here and tons of fuel, but that´s just me.

Hi Chapo i get your point and i guess it is mostly a thing about, what you are used to. It is not totally uncommon in military aviation to use the SI system. Afaik soviet and/or russian aircraft (among others) did this like forever On the other hand, most western military aviation and basicly all international aviation uses imperial units and naval measurements and having everyone on the same page, is not that bad either.

Hi everyone IIRC the fuel flow shown on the IFEI is indicated number x 100 / hour

Hi Airflow First of all, congrats for joining the DCS environment. Here are a few thoughts, you might consider in your decicion making process. BTW. if something i write, sounds a bit odd, thats most probably because english is not my first language. So in advance, sorry for that. From my understanding so far, you are at a point where you ask yourself, which module may fit and will provide the most fun to you. Second thing is, that your time is limited and you ask, if there is any module that will reduce the time, you have to put into it learning stuff. Honestly, i think you will experience an equal amount of learning and practicing with every high fidelity module of a modern weapon system that exists. To make things worse, the learning never stops, no matter how many hours you will gather on a specific module. I would also say, for most people this is a major part of the whole fun in DCS. Starting as a "noob" in a new module and working your way up, gaining experience with every sortie and becoming more and more experienced, confident and proficient with whatever Jet you fly, is a huge part of the whole DCS experience for many of us, i guess. So i would say flying FC3 modules, to save time learning how to operate systems, is not cutting curves to reach a goal. It is in my opinion, more like you will take opportunities to learn how complex systems work, away from yourself. You might save some time now, but very likely you will see very soon, how limiting FC3 modules are and you will change to a high fi module anyway and have to start at zero again. When it comes to how much time it takes, to become capable to perform basic Missions, that is a very difficult question to answer, because nobody but yourself knows, how you define that. If it is sufficient for you to blow a couple of things up, no matter how or in which way, you can do that pretty fast, maybe within a couple of days. If your goal is, to perform a well planned and properly executed mission (even a basic one), in which you accomplish exactly defined objectives and complete the necessary tasks, it will take much longer. So you see, everything in DCS depends on the goals you set for yourself, and the expectations you have, what your experience should be like. But if you decide to give i a try and start learning a complex high fi module, my advice would be to do that as methodically as possible. From easy to hard. From basic to complex. The more time you spend in learning basic things, the less brain power they take, when things start to get complicated. The more time you spend practicing, the more things will become a second nature to you, even operating seemingly difficult and "weird" avionic and weapon system stuf, so you will eventually become able to focus on your mission and not on the Jet you fly. Sorry for throwing so much text at you, but these are the things i consider to be worth thinking of. SH

Hi everyone I dont´t know if i´m wrong here, but IIRC the second dial from the left has only three options from 5 to 7. Maybe nowadays there are MAUs with a wider range, but i only know about MAUs where you can select between 5,6 or 7 on the second dial. If i´m wrong here please disregard all i´ve said.

Hi Pleg Had the same issue. Solution was to remove all mod files from the DCS folder. (in my case the A-4 and MB-339 files ) Since i removed them it works.

Hallo Diddi hab dir mal screenshots per PN geschickt. Gruß SH

Hallo Diddi Ich denke Hiob hat schon das meiste sehr gut beschrieben. ich möchte dir noch einen Tip geben, der mir bei der Einrichtung geholfen hat. Versuche die Einrichtung als einen Prozess zu verstehen, der sich über eine gewisse Zeit ( mehrere Tage ) entwickelt. Es gibt wirklich eine Menge guter Videos, die beschreiben, wie man Kurven einrichtet, Speed und Smoothness einstellt usw. Versuche diese Informationen zu kombinieren und du wirst feststellen, daß du mit der Zeit immer genauer an die Einstellungen kommst, die letztendlich für dich perfekt sind. Gruß SH
