  1. A-6 would be cool. I like the Tornado too. Would also like to see A-7!
  2. I gave up! Bought TM warthog, it was my second choice. Replaced my X-55. I still may purchase Virpil in the future dedicated for helicopters. We will see.
  3. Just had my first MP flight in BuDs. Once I got a few HOTAS bindings figured out ,I had a great time! Thanks to GTFreeFlyer and Vandal for your help and patients. Look forward to many more hours on MP.
  4. I would interested. Sounds like your guys schedule matches mine. I have really only flown single player. I guess I would need to sign up with discord and figure that out. Anyway I would be interested.
  5. Can't go wrong with either. At the moment the F-16 is my airframe of choice although I have been flying the A10c (Enemy within campaign). All that being said you may get more bang for buck since you can do carrier ops with F/A-18. Just my two cents.:)
  6. Agreed! You nailed it. I knew something was missing visually but could figure out what it was but you nailed it.
  7. Okay received both my MFG Crosswind and Thrustmaster Warthog Stick and throttle. First impressions: MFG- I bought the black graphite model. Construction seems very solid and the assembly was easy. Software was easy as well. DCS recognized it in the control setup menu and setup was simple. They are smooth as butter!!! The are very customizable! Great upgrade choice from my Thrustmaster pedals. TMWH: Construction seems solid. Very ergonomic stick (compared to X-55 where I had to make a clay mold to add to the stick in order to raise my hand up to reach the buttons). Installation was a bit tricky believe it or not. It would not recognize the controllers after starting the TARGET software. Did some internet research and found a fix in my Regedit. Once that was done everything else was pretty simple. I changed some of my default bindings through the TARGET software. The Target Software seemed much more user friendly than X-55 Madcatz software. The controls seemed stiffer than my X-55 and much more precise and smooth. I plan on changing my TDC mouse hat to a different one from Delta Sims and add an extension. I also plan on ordering the F-18 stick and maybe F-14 from Virpil. That's all in the future though. Next: VR upgrade, still considering Rift S for the price, I currently have the Rift. Also planning on doing my first computer build. And may dip my toe into multiplayer in DCS (been thinking about it for a long time). Thanks to everyone for your input. I hope you all have a wonderful 2020!!!
  8. Seen that done on a YouTube video, planning on doping that as well.
  9. I pulled the trigger and ordered the WH! So I have the MFG rudder pedals hopefully shipping soon and WH HOTAS delivering next week. So I should be GTG with controllers. Next up possibly upgrading to the Rift S. My son will get the hand me downs and hopefully we can enjoy some MP missions. I haven't spent hardly anytime with the MP side of DCS. Hopefully with some help I will dip my toe into it! Thanks again!
  10. Thanks to everyone for the advice!
  11. I think my ASUS 1080 has DP that I can use for the Rift S. Still on the fence about the WH, very tempted I can give my son my X55. I did order MFG rudder pedals to replace my TM TFRP.
  12. X55 has served me well and I have been on the fence about upgrading. So your input is greatly appreciated.
  13. I currently have Oculus Rift =. I have been toying with the idea of upgrading to the Rift S (Vive is too $$). Is the difference in resolution worth the additional investment in the Rift S? Also is the audio any good? I also have been contemplating upgrading my HOTAS from X55 to TM. Would it bee a better investment in the Rift S or upgrading my HOTAS? Open to suggestions! Thanks in advance!
  14. Awesome! So excited!!
  15. HSI not working in open beta, BFM campaign. Would like to roll back update in open beta but not sure how.
  16. +1 here too
  17. Not sure if it is a bug or not, but since last update zoom function will not work (key board or X55). Number pad /, *.
  18. Great video. I will probably give it a go at MP soon with VR. That is what I have planned for my time off around Christmas. I have gotten a little nauseas frying VR, but that has improved greatly in the last few days.
  19. Okay thanks! That puts my mind at ease. I am going to quit trying to tweak it and just fly the sim and enjoy. I will use my Trackir for MP.
  20. I just purchased a Rift. I was wondering what type of FPS I should expect with my system. i7-7700k @ 4.2 GTX 1080 16gb 2400 RAM In game settings Text: High Terrain text: High Civ traffic: off Water: medium vis range: med Heat blur: Low Shadows: Med Cockpit res: 256 MSAA: 2X depth of field: off Lenses effect: off SSA: 1.5 Grass/trees/clutter/smoke: all low cockpit global illum: off Anisotropic: 16x vsync; off VR pix density: 1.2 I am averaging 45fps with ASW set to auto and disabled. I am okay with 45 in SP but wasn't sure if that would be good enough for MP. I don't play MP at the moment but would eventually like to start. Just FYI I am not a computer guru! I just like flight sims. Computer is about a year old, don't plan on buying another one, may eventually upgrade to a 1080ti but will need to save some $$$$. Also may purchase more RAM. Thanks.
  21. Same here. Blackout during every launch.
  22. AutoStart sequence stops doing startup. Engine out of parameters. And AI aircraft fall of the carrier prior to launch. The AI F/A 18 blast stop is not up when the air tries to launch. The aircraft doesn't even roll, it just splashes into the ocean. I think this is only happening in DCS World, haven't noticed it in beta. And it is through the mission editor.
  23. Glad it's not me, well at least for the time being. Thank you!
  24. Okay thanks for the info!
