I find tanking in the Tomcat harder than the hornet because of the offset of the probe in the tomcat feels further to the right. In this way a lack of depth perception makes it harder to judge when I'm lined up correctly. To be fair though, I can't reliably tank well in either yet.

I played this yesterday. Nothing happens and by that I mean, nothing gets triggered. In Tacview I see fighting going on between a patrol and some insurgents but its while I'm starting up. Lots of other units doing 'stuff' but nothing interacts with me. Wingman taxis to runway very slowly, joins up, won't respond to 'attack my target' but will to 'attack targets of opportunity' and change formation. He won't however respond to a RTB command. Sigh.

Same problem. Really annoying.

Installed this evening. Took ten minutes, very easy. Tested with Apache and instantly made take off, hovering and general flight much much easier. Aircraft felt much more stable without the pedals trying to constantly spring back and forth. Then tried P51…same impression. Definitely a massive improvement. A really worth while upgrade.

Update from DPD, expecting my damper kit today. @cow_art thank you for feedback, will follow your advice.

Ordered mine 3rd January, no sign of it yet.

You need something accessible offline. I have limited PC flying time so a manual in the cockpit is useful, but secondary to one accessible outside it.

Decided to give Gazelle a go last night via free trial. Mapped axis, trim and view zoon then flew around Normandy for twenty minutes. Sold. Bought the module this morning. Seemed straight forward enough to fly (compared to Apache, Huey and Hind) and I love the forward visibility.

I like it. Better than before - easier but still hard to spot stuff.

@IronMike could you explain what this change means please?

I lived in central London for 40 years and know the areas in and around lots of the map very well. I took a drive in humvee and the elevation map is way off in the parts of central London in which i drove. For example, there are what look like steep hills between regents park and the west end (which is where Buckingham palace and Trafalgar square is) when in reality it is virtually flat with only a very gradual change in elevation. I wonder if this is due to the granularity of the elevation mesh and how slight changes are hard to create. Also, the scale of some roads feels off in places - they feel about ~20% wider in real life. You certainly can't navigate this rendition of London without the major landmarks they've created. Still, I think it is a great map and very evocative of the era. The handcrafted buildings and buses are particularly brilliant.

Same here.

Same here.

I haven’t touched the hornet in months as I’ve been flying the ‘14 for my Air to Air hit. Thought landing the hornet would be a nice easy break from our more analogue friend…then I flew over the ramp. Holly crap. Burble and pitching over the ramp is crazy. This really doesn’t seem right…certainly can’t fly the ball to touch down. F14 landing is waaaaay easier. Who would thought?

The solution I’d like to see is: Ghost AI pilot control position indicators displayed On player returning to pilot position aircraft retains AI control positions (ie player control inputs ignored) player matches AI ghost control positions and presses trim to regain control of aircraft Similar approach works perfectly in the Huey using its crew autopilot.
