There was something in the patch notes a patch or two ago about tweaking the rate at which trim is applied. I found it more instinctive before that change but there were also drag and thrust changes too, so I might be remembering with rose coloured glasses.

I knocked down a Foxhound on Hoggit GAW two nights ago in TWS at 72nm. Seems okay to me.

I'd buy the F-14D for sure, even at full module price. But I'd also buy nearly anything HB produced.

Happening to me on roughly 50% of my flights this week on the Hoggit GAW server, and there seems to be very little in common between those crashes. System specs: i5-7600k @ 5ghz, GTX1070Ti, 16gb DDR4. DCS runs from an SSD. I have Tacview and Voiceattack running. dcs.log-20190527-134714.zip

That looks amazing. Thank you very much for sharing this. I've got fewer and fewer excuses to not buy a printer now.

That's a great seat! Looks really practical and well made.

Did you wave off at all prior to the trap?

Can confirm collapsed gear does happen. It happened to me once during start up! Must have been a pretty bad storm I was in. Taxiing over to the cat, there was a noticeable slant.

It's seriously an easy AP to use. I have a warthog too, I still put in a very small deadzone. I only use alt hold though, I haven't gotten my head around the other ones as yet. All I do is activate the main AP switch which is a bit like an attitude hold. Then when I am approaching an altitude I want to maintain, I switch on the alt hold switch and when I reach that height, I press the nosewheel button. You will see when you have AP active and altitude hold on but not yet engaged, there will be a warning light that says something like AP hold or the like. It's on the left side of the VDI from memory.

I'd love for there to be a mouse interface for Jester. I find using Track IR as my pointing device a bit tedious, Voice Attack is finicky and the keypad too easy to make incorrect inputs. A mouse or a mouse-like input would be great.

No worries. :)

Debolestis, do you have a replacement for the CMS switch assembly on the Warthog?

Same issue here as DERacing. No mapping conflicts, also on WH throttle but the hat at the front of the right lever. Radio 1 is right, radio 2 is left, forward is F10 radio 1, aft is F10 radio 2. Have uninstalled and reinstalled. Have only used it in the Tomcat. I can hear communications fine, am not sure if I can transmit because I have a ridiculously quiet mic and haven't had a response to a mic check yet.

I can't disagree there! Glad the OP worked it all out.

+1, kneel it down and then U key. The switch is near the landing gear lever. It is a toggle. Up to raise, down to lower. Lower that thing til it stops moving. It is fairly important that your actual alignment is within a couple of degrees though. Off-centre cat shots are somewhat hazardous.

Cardboard Aided Design. Kudos. This is a really good way to reuse otherwise wasted materials, and its far cheaper to change things if you aren't happy with your layout or want to accommodate other things.

The patch prior to this one seemed to fix it but it is now back every now and then. I can't reproduce it but it happens periodically.

Good, looking forward to those changes.

Yeah, that article did it for me too. Gonna need bindings for g-suit and BN-on-pilot violence with it.

With the lack of seat adjustability I've mapped camera height to the same hat I've got trim on, just with a modifier. Makes it a bit easier to see the carrier in the groove too.

Thanks for doing this, Mav. I have been actively repressing the memory of the first and only attempt I made to hook up to an S-3. Between your tips and the extra thirty or so hours I have in the 'cat, hopefully my second attempt ends with less fratricide.

The hot trigger warning light not being easy to see is the bane of my existence some days. Perhaps adding a selectable tinted visor to the helmet would be helpful.

That's a phenomenal level of detail.

Thanks again, Bankler! Loved this for the Hornet, loving it again for the Tomcat.

I'll second or third the suggestion to get Delanclip and attach with zipties. But definitely consider making your own, you'll have it much cheaper and faster in all likelihood and even if it isn't that great, you will have it while you wait for a replacement to arrive. My pro clip lasted a few years, but needed glue within the first 18 months. I still have the normal hat clip but I haven't found any good reflective tape to use on it.
