  1. So what do you do if you don't have any extra training videos installed? My DCS tried to update and failed and now when I run the game it does not check for updates again. I went into the training in game and I have no extra training stuff installed. What do? Thanks
  2. I missed the last part of your comment about ED not doing these modules. I can agree with that too. I would much rather them stick with current real world aircraft. They seem to have great resources when it comes to researching the data they need to complete their projects.
  3. Alien invasion I dunno. I don't see why it should be any concern if a third party wants to focus on fictional aircraft. It's not like your forced to buy them. Honestly if there were not the dreamers in this world then where would our current air power be? A lot of aviation interest stems from the cool factor. Jets are just plain and simply BA. Fictional tv shows inspired us to dream bigger and go farther. I'm sticking to my guns here and would love to play a high end simulation with fictional aircraft that would handle like a real aircraft should.
  4. I hope your not upset with me. That's kinda how it sounds but anyway what I was saying about the different stick setups can make sense. Like when I move my stick to the extreme right, in game the virtual stick should exactly match my physical movement. Well it doesn't. That's all I was saying about that. Now when it comes to steering the Sabre around on the ground, yes I'll admit there are issues but if you use high curves it is very manageable. I have been flying it a lot and I have not had a single incident taxing or taking off. Landing on the other hand is still a challenge if you engage nose steering at to high a speed. It gets very uncontrollable quickly. I have even posted video on YouTube about bugs I have found while flying the Sabre. So… trust me I know it has issues, but I also know it's still in beta. There is no extra information on the forums to suggest that they won't fix it later on. The best and really only thing you can do at the moment to help you enjoy the aircraft is to try the curves and deadzone adjustments. Good luck with your flying and I hope it works for you.
  5. Just wondering… have you set any curves on your rudder and brakes axis's? When I first got the Sabre I was so excited to start flying that I overlooked setting curves and I crashed on taxi and takeoff a few times and then went back and toned them down. I run a 35 to 40% curve and 5 to 8% dead zone on the rudder and pedals. I would give that a shot first and like me, I'm sure you will see the difference is very noticeable. I think when the developers make the control surfaces they provide more that enough throw for all user sticks, throttles and pedals. It kind of like setting up an RC plane. You can make the surfaces go very extreme but most kit providers give you a recommended throw gauge so you get the initial correct setup. I think it would be nice if there was some kind of built in flight test that would help you make sure your controls were matching authentically to the original bird. Though, this is probably one of those things that is down right impossible with all the different setups.
  6. Thanks guys. Glad to know it's not just me.
  7. Here is a video of the issue and here is the track. http://youtu.be/XvKdBisv84A Track File F-86 Roll Bug
  8. I don't think there is. I find it harder to judge my flare on landing.
  9. Yea go into the options and into the f-86 misc. options. There is a check box you can turn off.
  10. In the sabre there is an option for seat adjust in the misc options. Once you take off and raise gear in the hog does the seat readjust?
  11. Could this be related to the sabre landing seat configuration option being tied to the a-10 somehow?
  12. I'm not home at the moment. I will record this tonight and get it uploaded. I am using a Logitech G940 as well. Don't have this issue with any other aircraft.
  13. Hopefully this is a real issue as I hate looking like an idiot :) I was flying the 86 last night and I was noticing that you can roll pretty quickly in this aircraft. So I went to do a quick switch back roll. I rolled hard to the right first and then immediately rolled left and I noticed that the stick clanking sound got caught into a loop. Almost like a machine gun with the clanking sound. I also saw that the opposite roll was very slow. So my roll to the right was quick but the left roll started at the same speed for about a second and then cut down to about half the roll rate. Anyone else experience this?
  14. I would recommend still scanning them though. You never know what the future holds. They are pretty BA though. Where did you get them?
  15. Yea that will make it difficult. I would highly recommend picking up a trackir unit. Make a world of difference in your experience. Especially if you want to be persistent in dogfighting.
  16. One good thing you can do at the merge on a rookie opponent is to start your turn in before the merge. The pilot that starts his turn first will usually end up with the advantage. Be careful though as if you turn way to early your opponent can turn out and slow down and turn back in quickly and be in on you tail pretty quick.
  17. I'm doing good to stop after 3 hours :) How about this: You know it's time to take a break when you fight every urge to stop because your butt cheeks are buzzing from being asleep for the past 30 minutes, and when you stand up… you find that your nuts were asleep too… lol :)
  18. I seriously was about to start a thread like this. Anyone here ever get the mother ship mod for FSX where you could fly up the flat side and there was a runway inside like in the movie. That model was massive. I would love to fly the Naboo fighter from the prequel star wars movies. That seems like a sweet little fighter.
  19. Again, what version of windows are you using?
  20. Oh so you can actually bring up the list? I was having issues connecting to a handful of servers earlier. Which ones in particular aren't working for you?
  21. Can you actually visit digitalcombatsimulator.com?
