I only use USB

I was well into a long campaign mission, when I accidentally hit my eject button on my throttle with my knee And that was it for that flight. All other modules, you usually have to press the key 3 times rapidly to eject. Indeed using the default keyboard command also initiates ejection after one keypress. I'm on the latest version as of todays date.

I guess that's another dollar for you. I use Vaicom, but only just recently started doing that, so I mapped my PTT buttons to that. Therefore I was trying to use the communication menu (because I couldn't remember the verbal commands) I guess that's where the problem was. Thanks!

Hi, me again Just started this challenging night landing. When going to the tanker, I cannot hail it using built in comms and therefore not refuel. I could also not contact ATC using built in comms.

That is a good idea, I don't have any issues 1V1, only when it's coordinating against multiple enemies and having to use Jester to lock and IFF. Not really part of the Zone 5 campaign, but BVR would also fall into that category.

Thanks a lot for your answer! I guess what I'm after is a mix of combat tactics and how to use Jester, so lore game oriented stuff. I love authenticity, but it's probably not the best approach to learning to fight. I actually already flew most of Speed and Angels, but I guess it's time for a revisit. I didn't know you could fly the engagements individually, that is for sure something that would be very handy! Would love something similar in Zone 5, but I'll start with the 3 practice engagements.

I think I'm about 7 missions in, and I gotta say it's getting a little frustrating. I highly appreciate the attention to details and the realism, all the radio chatter sounds very authentic. But after going through the identical checklist, the identical route, just to have a 2 minute training session, and then back again. It gets kind of tedious. Even more frustrating is the feeling I get that I don't really know what's the "best" approach to an encounter, so it's not always I feel I really learned from my "others" column. And I even go through it in tacview. The talk about lectures and theory, is just talk, and so is the statements about good communication when flying with an AI. I know you said it's not meant to be a training campaign, but that is a missed chance I feel. I would have loved there to be some kind of documentation or videos showing a workable approach to each encounter. Also, while waiting for a save game feature in DCS, it would be cool.to.be able to skip to the Fights on call, to try different things. This obviously comes from a place of endless respect and gratitude for the campaigns you've put out, of which I have quite a few, and especially your post-campaign work.

Ok thanks. I thought I did try to tell them to place and remove, but I'll try again.

I'm a new VAICOM user, and loving the immersion and simplicity of it! However when flying the F14, I cant get the ground crew to remove wheel chocks, even though they confirm my order. I have to go through the options and select it manually. Also the RIO wheel is looking weird, like it's missing some of the UI, I would like to use both AIRIO and commands. Thanks

Thanks, so the debrief is the speak Bio does after the mission? That's at least all I got for the first mission. I've already flown (and watched) speed & angels, though it's been a while and my skills detoriate quickly.. Phantom campaign sounds amazing!

Hey It was mentioned that there would be debriefings, was that just for immersion, or is there something Im missing? I just flew the first mission 1V1, and there was a lot of talk about admin stuff, but not about ACM - is that something I'm supposed to find elsewhere? I really want to learn ACM in the F14, but I find it very hard..

I guess I took the instructions to protect my lead to literally I'll try just looking out for myself, first time in a warbird. Really loving the spit.

Hi, I'm new to the Spit but after much training I can taxi, takeoff, land and do formation flying. I've flown the first sortie three times, each time being shot to pieces by the FW's within 1 minute of merging. I'm flying close to my lead, as I'm supposed to protect him, but obviously I need some protection. Any tips how to survive?

I managed to do it At the end when Action 2 was being rescued, I decided to do the old iron hand thing and got a SA6 to fire about 6 SAM'S at me. That was exciting. Then just as I exited with the Mission Complete graphic, the game crashed so in the end I had to skip it. Pretty sure I was at a 100 score too Great mission.

Thanks! That's sort of what I tried myself. I did actually almost complete it the first time, but then got greedy with a kill.
