Lol, you're not wrong about Jane's! (Also one of my favorite 90's "sims".) I do think it would be an easy module here for player aircraft. It's so simple from a systems perspective that even if you make it an AI aircraft, most of the hard work would already be done!

I know the wish list for aircraft is as long as the Earth is wide, but I'd like to throw the A-37 on the list (as well as the T-37 variant) for a few reasons - in no particular order: Fairly simple aircraft! (It was designed as a trainer after all) Fits nicely in the fixed-wing niche for Vietnam era COIN operations. (Won't mention the little hints at Vietnam map all over the place ..... oops) COIN OPERATIONS! - We're getting there as a side effect of Afghanistan/Iraq releases and infantry overhaul Armament options aplenty Still has aerial refueling Used post-Vietnam (even still today) Are there other aircraft that would take priority in a Vietnam map? Sure. In fact, OF COURSE! But after an OV-10 for COIN/CAS, I'd love to see this unique little guy. Thoughts? A-37 Dragonfly Youtube Video

Awesome, thanks. Super excited to give'er a go!

Nvm. I don't care about whiners' opinions.

I'm downloading this tonight. I'm curious though, is part of the variety rocket/rocket (10lb'er) and/or rocket/hellfire (HFs on the right)? Those were two very common loads IRL.

The folda gap would be fun. I'm personally happy with Afghanistan so I can relive my early 20's. But variety certainly never killed anyone.

I'm not certain, but perhaps because there have been no major air operations in modern times (80s onward) in those places that trump Afghanistan/Iraq? If you're only looking for cool looking places to fly (many here would say boring), Kola and South Atlantic will be up your alley. Or go tool around MSFS until you want to put a 2000lb JDAM on an IED-maker's compound.

@NineLine @BIGNEWY I spent a year in and out of Fob Griffin on the Southwest side side of Maimana. If you would like assistance in replicating it, shoot me a DM. Also, the PRT (Provincial Reconstruction Team) base on the Northeast side of town had a short runway. The 1st Cav blackhawks were there when I was so you might be able to see of one of those guys could help. I only ever cared about the chow hall, hospital, and turf soccer pitch so I forget when the rest looked like.

I THINK i read there's some serious distortion with them that maybe they're trying to fix?

Going to be tough. At some point, you get significant diminishing returns. I'm running a Q3 with everything in cockpit maxed out both in-game and headset. It's easily legible but not perfectly crisp. I still use the vr zoom extensively. You may want to posit your question in the VR subfirum to get some more ideas. However your "max clarity" is only going to be so high, and I'd venture a guess that it still might not be good enough. Things that help: Quadview foveated rendering (fixed, of course). Supersampling in your headset (virtual desktop makes this very easy) Running standalone so steamvr isn't eating resources. Community mods for VR MPD clarity, specific to F18. Edit: Looks like mods moved it I to VR, thanks!

Just read the update where HB explained the delay and some of the HBUI features. It got me thinking; apart from the Jester functionality, perhaps HB might consider a standalone tool with some of the functionality? I know Openkneeboard hits many of these marks, but there are some shortcomings I'd love to see filled. Just a thought.

It's the "thrust" axis. There's one fir left, right, but you want the both bind.

Ugly load out meaning asymmetric load out which is common in the f18 for several reasons. https://www.youtube.com/live/YmiVxj5Gt3Q?si=DMHPlXNDJ1EzTP9h

Hmm, probably not, but next time you look externally, check for ugly. I think you said it's always pulling the same direction regardless of your heading so you can rule out wind Because dcs will auto-assign axes to controllers. For example. My rudder always has an assignment for the pitch axis when setting it up with new keybind profiles. Should also do the rudder.

Be safe, do both! Start with the joystick software then do dcs
