Eaglewings

I flew the Navigation mission. I must confess the concept behind the creation of these training missions is fantastic. The in-cockpit display of guides is brilliant. For a complex module like the Apache, these mission comes in very handy in learning and reorienting oneself again. I think ED training mission should take this form of in-cockpit written guide instead of voice-overs that are sometimes difficult to grasp. A hard copy reference guided instead of timed displayed message gives you the chance to read and learn at your pace. The idea here should be expanded on for training missions I salute the effort of the creator of this training missions and I wish other systems and weapons trainings can be added.

Okay. Roger that. Thanks a million sir.

Thank you Flappie. Attached is the dcs log in zip file. Note: I am on the latest Gpu driver for my card. dcs.log-20240225-023356.zip

I was hoping the new update patch would resolve my crashes but not. I Flew one of the instant missions(Low-level valley mission) and that went well with no crash. Loaded one of the F-15E missions and within a few minutes into the mission and dcs world crashes. The log file is attached. I really need to get this issue resolved. DCS has been fluid for me for a long while now. Thanks. Note: I have removed all mod, done both dcs repair and cleaning exercise, renamed my save game folder for dcs and only copied over mission, kneeboard and config files. dcs.log

I can relate to the itch to upgrade. I have equally been looking at the 4070 series GPU as an upgrade from my rtx3070. I have a Ryzen 5 5600 CPU and rtx 3070. Doing great on my 1440P monitor even at maxed-out settings(Singleplayer mode 99% of the time)). My rusty Samsung Odyssey Plus VR Headset is fine but not at a level I would like in terms of clarity and performance. I am more leaning toward waiting for the next-gen line of GPUs from Nvidia and AMD. IMHO, the 4070ti super would be a much more valuable upgrade

Cpu/motherboard/DDR5 Ram bundles offers at Microcenter right now are looking very good. $469.99 for AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, Gigabyte B650 Gaming X AX v2, G.Skill Flare X5 Series 32GB DDR5-6000 Kit, Computer Build Bundle. That is if you live in the US.

That is some very serious rework of the Hornet's flight behavior. Looking forward to flying the upscaled FA-18C. Sent from my XQ-AT52 using Tapatalk

Yes the director light underneath the Tanker are illuminated. They control your position while in the refueling area. Lights indactes when you are going too forward, aft, high up and/or low off the ideal refueling probe area/Tanker. Sent from my XQ-AT52 using Tapatalk

There has been calls for the implementation of the Supercarrrier style Optical Landing System lights for the AAR director lights. It would be unrealistic however but would help immensely. Alternatively, the texturing of the lights can be improved upon. It is a challenge using the lights in AAR especially in vr. Sent from my XQ-AT52 using Tapatalk

I will give this a go. Thanks Sent from my XQ-AT52 using Tapatalk

I have tested for quite some time now. Drivers updated. All mod removed. The crash seems only prevalent in AH-64D Apache. Sent from my XQ-AT52 using Tapatalk

I have been having consistent crashes to desktop in dcs after like 5 minutes into the game. I have done dcs clean-up and repair process and the crashes persist. I did change my control hardware from thrustmaster stick to winwing stick a few days ago but before then, the crashes have been occurring. I have attached my last crash log file here. Thanks in advance for the help. dcs.log

My Winwing F-16EX arrived two days ago. Installed it immediately and tested. I am really impressed with the F-16EX stick coming from Thrustmaster A-10C/F-16 stick. I have yet to explore the simpro app and the configuration options it offers. Also the vibration kit has not been used. Just plugged it in and mapped the basic buttons. Pros: Quality : Material looks superb. The TM version is considerably heavier. The light weight of the winwing stick suggests some kind of aluminium material. I have had the TM stick for more than 5 years and I use it almost on a daily bases. It is still working great beside a few paint scratches on palm rest. So the jury is still out on the Winwing stick on quality and durability, it is just 3 days old. Usability: Miles better than my old Thrustmaster F-16 /A-10C stick. Easy to fly with. The cam and spring system makes axes control a breeze. The default NC cam helps does compare to the strong centre deflection I had with TM stick . I would love to explore other Cam and springs options in the future but the NC would serve for now. I could not believe my proficiency in flying the Apache with the Winwing stick. Versatility : A lot of good points in this department. I own a number of airframes and the extra buttons and slider provides options in mapping more important controls in those aircrafts especially the AH-64D Apache. Esthetic : The stick feels very light. I really like the sleek and simplicity of design. The green LED indication a cool addition for both the eyes and notification that the unit is on. Cons: I would have love the inclusion of one extra cam and spring option with the standard unit. Overall I am very happy with the winwing F-16EX stick. I do hope to get many enjoyable flight years with it. Thanks for the recommendations I got here. Sent from my XQ-AT52 using Tapatalk

DLAA rescued the long battle with shimmering for me too. And this at no noticeable cost in performance. Sent from my XQ-AT52 using Tapatalk

The 4080 Super series has just been announced. It would be worth it if the open post can wait a few weeks to get higher performance 4080 Super at a lesser price compare to the 4080 that he has in shopping cart. Sent from my XQ-AT52 using Tapatalk

Now that is interesting. I must have been reading staled news on the web. Sent from my XQ-AT52 using Tapatalk

There are rumours of Pico 5 for next year. It seems display port will only be available in their highest model. If the rumours are true about the specs, it is a bit of a let down to exclude the DP on the lower model. Again, just rumours. Microsoft plans to deprecate wmr in hard to understand. Vr is becoming very popular. Sent from my XQ-AT52 using Tapatalk

I have placed the order. Looking forward to the experience. Thanks you guys(Sledgehammer and Mustangs ally) for sharing your thoughts . Sent from my XQ-AT52 using Tapatalk

Hello all. Looking for some buying advice here. Presently using the Virpil CM-3 throttle combined with the Thrustmaster warthog Flight stick(F-16/A-10C stick). I have had the TM Flightstick for more than 5 years now and it has served. I am hard-pressed to get the Winwing F-16EX Combo unit(with the extra buttons and vibration kit) now for it's versatility purpose. Those additional buttons and axes I reckon would provide me with more keymapping for other aircraft like the AH-64D. I have been using the modifier function to get along but oftentimes it is easy to forget what I have mapped for different birds. Also considering that Winwing just opened a USA outlet and the discount looks great. I have seen some reviews on YouTube and I have read several issues about it like the Winwing F-16ex stick is loose at the center and all that. Does anyone care to share his/her experiences on the Winwing F-16EX stick and Orion 2 base? Thanks

I say yes to an accompanying YouTube videos. It would be easier to learn the missions especially for those of us who would want like a refresher course. Sent from my XQ-AT52 using Tapatalk

Yes to the open post. A thank you to ED team is well deserved. Once in a while it is good to let the ED team know this. Aviation has always been of great interest to me and to be able to explore that interest with a software while sitting at home is amazing. Sent from my XQ-AT52 using Tapatalk

Thank you Maestro for sharing the update coming. Those upgrade figures are pretty substantial I looking forward to testing to see the optimization work on the map and of course those new airfield bases. Keep up the good work. Sent from my XQ-AT52 using Tapatalk

If you compare the scale of the aircraft in VR hanger to the in-game outside scale of aircraft, yes there is a big difference for me. The VR hanger seems like that is the realistic world scale

In the same boat with you. I bought the app and extensions but the hurdle was getting Voice Attack and/or Microsoft speech recognition software to constantly get my voice commands. It would be great if other voice recognition software could be used. I fly VR so I know the important role app like Viacom Pro plays.

All the aircraft systems are independently simulated and they work in sync? That is just mind blowing. How about the in-cockpit manual, both in 2d and VR? That is a Read-while-you-take-a-ride fun. The F4. Looks phenomenal. Thank you Heatblur for raising the bar in dcs.
