ED will eventually eliminate individual maps in favor of a Google Earth-type model. The Pakistani and Indian DCS players can hate on each other in Afghanistan until then.

Are you tapping the trim hold FWD? Like constantly? You should be tapping that thing at just about 1Hz. As you're pulling pitch on the collective, tap. Getting light on the mains, tap. Adding pedal to counteract the torque, tap. Off the ground in ground effect , tap. Tap. Every adjustment of the cyclic, collective, pedals should be followed by a tap of the trim. Watch Casmo's video about trimming. Autopilot/SAS does nothing until you start engaging the trim PID loops of the SAS. Also, make sure your tail wheel is unlocked for takeoff and landing. It leaves the ground last and you're a tether ball tied to the ground until it's in the air. If it's locked it basically acts like a stating wave generator reflecting control movements back into the controls. Very bad.

Proposal: Free modern onboarding and/or trainer module
trev5150 replied to Luca Kowalski's topic in DCS Core Wish List
Last thing I'll say in this topic, then I'm out: ED removed the Game Avionics Mode from the sim half a decade ago for one simple reason - no one was using it. Easy, learning to fly, fun time is not what brings people to DCS. the 99.999 percent is here to be challenged by study level sims and maximum realism, and flying combat against other humans and (eventually) competent AI. It's not about The Four Forces of Flight here. That's baby stuff. ED isn't wasting development time (money) for the one tenth of one percent that will never recoup their costs to develop and maintain that functionality, because again, that's what MSFS is for. Hardcore simmers go back and forth all the time. That's OK, too. And the cost to the consumer is NOT an argument. "Oh wahhh I have to pay for two sims" Yeah, you do. Grow up. This is flight simming. From the sims to the powerhouse rigs that are required to run a flight sim with any visual quality (which, despite what's mentioned earlier IS a concern for most of us) to the multitude of joysticks, rudders, throttles, yokes and other controls you will buy as an adherent to this hobby, cost is for 12 year olds to lament. To them I say this: 1 - Study hard, do god in school. 2 - Go to college and get a degree that earns you money, or some other lucrative path. 3 - Get a good job to support your hobbies. You will have more than one. 4 - Make enough to get a place that has a room dedicated to your flight sim rig. No one is here to support your "I can't afford it" whinging about how much stuff costs. -
You really need to go through the training and tutorial playlists because it looks like you're having a much harder time than you should be. This is Wags tutorials. He's the lead producer of DCS. This is Casmo. He was a Kiowa Warrior and Apache pilot.

Proposal: Free modern onboarding and/or trainer module
trev5150 replied to Luca Kowalski's topic in DCS Core Wish List
Why should ED capitalize development on basic flight training modules when MSFS and X-Plane already exists? DCS was never meant to teach people how to fly. I didn't read the previous three pages, so I'm not reacting to anything but the original post. Buy the Yak 52, then the Christian Eagle II, then the L-39 or C-101 if you want to role-play a new pilot. If you need to learn how to fly, get MSFS and do the lessons. Don't ask a company in an industry that is already niche to spend millions they don't have on a product that already exists and can do the job far better, when they are already a decade behind current gaming technology with their product's ecosystem and desperately trying to keep their head above water just finishing any of their beta and early access stuff. -
F-14B, what are the most common EP's you have experienced?
trev5150 replied to Abahji's topic in DCS: F-14A & B
100% te flat spin - maneuvering hard, getting outside of flying the cross and losing an engine to blade face stall, getting into wild adverse yaw and spinning the airplane at low altitude as a result suuuuuucks. Yes the B has the better engines but it will still get you if you get bored, frustrated or do something stupid. 1 - Fly the cross. You're either rolling the airplane or pulling Don't do both, meaning.... 2 - Start rolls with RUDDER. Rudder first and most then add roll. 3 - Best turn speed is ~325 KIAS (per Nasty Manazir). 4 - Unless you're tanking or bombing or doing an airshow, leave the wing sweep in AUTO. The CADC has about as much code as a tamagotchi but is smarter and faster than you. The F-14 is easy to fly but hard to fly well. Trying to get fancy and overfly this airplane will kill you quick. If you do stal the airplane you need to think Engines IDLE, Ailerons NEUTRAL, Nose DOWN, Rudder OPPOSITE the spin immediately or any stall in the F-14 can progress to an unrecoverable spin within a few heartbeats. If you do manage to recover a spin, don't try to turn the airplane again until you have a healthy amount of airspeed or you can easily re-introduce the spin. The airplane is just daring you to do it... -
This. Belsimtek no longer exists as a separate entity.

One of many reasons DAFCS can't come fast enough.

F14 not authorized / antivirus / false positive

I use Process Lasso to force DCS onto the P cores. It's free-mium with fairly good results, so I suggest you give that a try. My biggest problem is the Quest 2 that will be replaced with the Pimax Super 50ppd I preordered. The only other thing I do with that computer is Star Citizen and that's on maxxed out settings. i9-13900KF, 64Gb RAM, 4090.

Moza inconsistent information about supported grips
trev5150 replied to trev5150's topic in Input Devices
I am perfectly calm. I've been shot at and missed and sh!t at and hit and I'm good in ways you can never understand. All I'm trying to do is give the flight sim community the chance to see what happened so they can be aware and not just blindly trust that they're being taken care of for their money. Unfortunately, the flight sim community also includes people like you. I love how all you sycophants come out of the woodwork to jump on the "calm down" bandwagon. Y'all are hilarious. May you get taken for as much money as possible by a deposed prince via email, Mr. Benefit of the Doubt. -
Moza inconsistent information about supported grips
trev5150 replied to trev5150's topic in Input Devices
They said they don’t support other grips when they clearly do support other grips. That’s the lie. You’re joining in the “you should calm down” rhetorical tactic. You should stop trying to tell people they’re wrong and they’re crazy and unsettled for calling attention to malfeasance. -
Moza inconsistent information about supported grips
trev5150 replied to trev5150's topic in Input Devices
What I posted had nothing to do with whether or not my Hornet grip functioned or not. Mine functions normally as well. Y'all assumpt-o-matic machines interpolated that as my intent when I did not give you cause to do so. Maybe YOU should read my post with an eye toward detail, because I deliberately did not write anything about TM grip actual function. There's no hyperbole at all. I simply showed that someone in their company lied to me in an email. Whether that was a deliberate lie or a lie of ignorance or a lie of omission does not matter. I then showed the market (all of us here) that someone in Moza's first line customer service was willing to reply to me with the intent of getting me to go away. In my view, that's unacceptable. It shouldn't be acceptable to you, either. The fact that they were willing to do that is concerning, and I felt that the community should know that they should be on the lookout for this kind of behavior should they find themselves needing customer support. The fact that you're here trying to steel-man their position for them by calling what I wrote hyperbole, and trying to make me look like I lack attention to detail or make me out to me some sort of raving lunatic makes me wonder what your motivation is.
