    Cold War: Chad

    在 DLC Map Wish List

    发布于 · 本帖最后于，由Arecibo编辑

    So I’m guessing by now you’ve all seen the incredible 1980s Mirage low level flying footage filmed in Chad on YouTube: 

    I was thinking this would make an excellent map, with all the Cold War jets in the region during Operation Épervier. I know that it’s another ‘sand map’, but I think the unique landscape would bring a different vibe to the table. I mean just look at those mountains!

    Anyway, just my thoughts. Be interested to hear others views.

    What are these wires on the ACM?

    That's not the cheapest bidder. There's been cheaper solutions to the buttons wearing out than that. Including scotch tape, and shoving paper into the gaps.

    Some squadrons did their due diligence and actually properly fixed them. Others decided that the plate or wire were good enough.

    It was a comment on the original manufacturer of the buttons.

    Cartridge Start Smoke

    在 DCS: F-4E Phantom

    发布于

    Hi HB,

    I just watched Diesel Thunder's latest Germany video using a cart start and noticed there was no smoke. Is this something you'll be adding to cartridge starts in the future? I read in the manual that pilots would close the canopy so they weren't overcome by fumes. Could be cool to add a hypoxia-like affect if you forgot to close it.

    Cheers,

     

    AAR not getting the tanks full

    Finally completed my first full AAR!

    Congratulations! Any more tips for us mere mortals? I’ve managed to get connected for about five seconds after spending half an hour trying to get lined up. Even the tiniest throttle movements seem to be too much! I’ve taken to splitting the throttles, but still over/under shooting annoyingly. Maybe just more practice…

    My default F1 view is too far forward (VR)

    so i think i asked this question regarding the F-14 when i first got it, and it's sort of meant to feel like that

    I was really surprised how tiny and crammed the cockpit actually is in there. The instruments would probably feel quite far forward irl.

    Setting up additional displays for Phantom cockpit

    在 DCS: F-4E Phantom

    Just a couple of things: TAS is only really used for navigation, so not a big deal to plop on the autopilot and zoom in if you need. As for the ASI, even if you can’t see the actual numbers on the knots indicator inside the Mach scale, you should be able to see the bold 50/100 knot markers. So once you’re below 300 knots for landing say, then it’s straightforward to glance down and know how fast you’re going pretty quickly. At least that’s what works for me.

    When I started flying the F-4, I didn’t even notice the knots indicator inside the Mach scale, so I was having the same issues trying to see the TAS, tucked away as it is.

    Training Mission Text

    Those mission texts shown on screen exist as individual kneeboards. I saved them out for my own use a while back. You can grab them from here. 

    there’s a Pureref file in some of the folders as well, to make it easier to switch between boards on a second screen.

    That said, we have a few ideas how we could work around and tackle the issue - which is also why we went the effort in coding and connecting all the CBs in the code from day one.

    I mean it's virtually impossible to see them with head tracking software anyway. A separate CB panel popup, something like the bombing table might work nicely.

    Save your money and don’t bother with TrackIR for head tracking. A cheap webcam with OpenTrack + AI Track software will work perfectly. There’s some good YouTube videos on how to set that up. Pretty straightforward stuff. I can definitely recommend the Winwing Metal Warthog HOTAS. Some second hand Thrustmaster rudders from eBay will save you a bit of money too. Hope you have a lot of fun with DCS! Don’t worry too much about bugs and the like. 
     

    Would be good to hear how you’re getting on!
