  1. Thanks for that, exactly what I was looking for. So the Mig-29 cockpit has been updated? Wonder why it was not mentioned in the announcement.
  2. Well they updated the FC3 A-10 even though there is a A-10 FF module, so that is not a good argument. I am not really interested in speculation, this is really a question for the Devs whether anything is planned.
  3. I see the Mig 29 was not on the list for updated cockpit/skins in the recent FC3 update and was wondering why? I searched the forums but could not find anything.
  4. Thanks! Found the Docs. Second try was a lot smoother once I saw you can access all the Nav Info through the F10 radio menu. Very nice missions, very immersive.
  5. I picked up the campaign, but having some trouble getting it going. 1-Mission 1: I startup , take off and then it’s not clear how to get to the engagement zone. The waypoints seem to go around in circle and when I look at the map in the Kneeboard, there seems to be a lot of “1” waypoints. I looked through the mission briefing, but not obvious what to do? 2-Mission 1: when I take off, a AI F15 closes up and sticks close to my right wing. Am I supposed to follow him? Not sure what that is about. Is there additional documentation that I am missing or is it just what is in game? Any help would be appreciated.
  6. MR can be confusing. With MR on, you should always be running at 90 fps. If you cannot run natively at 90 fps, MR will generate say filler frames in between so that your eyes will always see 90 fps, even though the fps counter says 45. I would not worry too much about what the counter says, what counts is how it looks to you. The issue with MR in certain games is that the ‘fillers’ are noticeable and it looks ‘choppy’ or with micro pauses. That is usually not an issue with DCS.
  7. The trim has been changed, so you have to get re-used to it, it took me a few tries to get back in the groove. It seems less mushy than before and seems to require less input for the same results. It also seems to react quicker than before which is a plus.
  8. Been spending more time with the new FM and quickly getting used to it. Pitch and roll input still feels twitchy, but I am getting the hang of it. In flight, it does not feel that different from before. I have not had any issue with the landing gear. No damage through multiple CV/airfield landings, even one at 40,000 pounds. I did finally manage to break the gear on a CV landing, but I came in crooked and tried to recover instead of going around. If you land correctly, there does not seem to be an issue. I have not had an issue with regular CV/airfield takeoffs with half-flaps.
  9. had a chance to do some CV/airfield landings, lots of changes to assimilate: -pitch and roll inputs are twitchier/more precise; -you can pull much tighter turns, I have to go easier on the break turn to get the same amount of Gs; -trim feels different. My old settings no longer work, it does not seem to require as much input as before. Trim also feels less mushy and you can feel the input right away. OTOH, the trim changes feel more abrupt. Not saying the changes are good or bad, but it will take some time getting used to and getting the optimum performance out of it.
  10. Yes, as I recall because of the FBW system, the AC will try to auto trim to 1G when you are at around 250k? On final, gear/flaps down, you should be around 135k. Personally, I do not look at the speed, just the AOA indexer and that the FPM is the the middle of the E bracket. If those two are within the limits, you should be fine. The trickiest part IMHO is properly trimming the AC which can take a lot of practice and get right since it is more art than science. When the AC is properly trimmed, it will more or less land itself since the FPM will stay in the middle of the E bracket and you just need to concentrate on your throttle inputs. This is another very good video to understand the trim concept:
  11. Win 11 23h2 is fine. Make sure to block automatic updates. This really pisses me off. No word at all on the HP website and they are still selling the G2 with no mention at all of the problem.
  12. Good choice. I have had mine for over a year now and am very happy with it.
  13. Not sure what problem the OP had, but the TM Warthog is a poor choice IMHO. It has poorer build quality than the Orion 2 but is more expensive, at least in Canada. The Orion 2 is a much better long term choice. I checked the site and it is clearly marked what items are in stock or out of stock. It may be related to the Chinese New Year, I got an email that they were closing down for a week or so.
  14. Yes, but depends on the hardware. I have the Orion 2 and some axis/buttons are dual use, I.e. you can use them as axis or buttons. You have to check through the APP.
