Seeing as you're starting fresh I'd almost recommend getting a trainer first and learn how to fly. Learn to read cockpit gauges, take off, land, learn how to fly an airfield pattern. Be a pilot first and then learn the combat systems.

I really don't get the people who always want the latest and greatest in DCS. I quite like the fact that we have older aircraft with older systems and certain limitations. It's part of the charm. I'd be completely happy for them to make an even older model F-16. I kinda wish they had coordinated all the aircraft versions they have in DCS to fit maybe a late 80s / early 90s timeframe for consistency across scenarios. But of course I understand that it's all down to the information available.

The Eurofighter is to new an aircraft with too many classified systems to make a fully modeled variant likely. I'd much rather prefer a Tornado anyway.

They already have one in the form of the F-5E, but it'll certainly be awesome to have a carrier aircraft in Cold War servers :)

Praise should surely go to RAZBAM for having the vision to employ the man, but the guy behind the missions is Baltic Dragon, who is widely recognized for making the best campaigns for DCS World, including the acclaimed (also RAZBAM) Mirage campaign and "The Enemy Within" (A-10C). :thumbup:

What about something like this? This is what I use. They replace standard rollers. https://www.amazon.de/hjh-OFFICE-619002-Bodengleiter-B%C3%BCrostuhlgleiter/dp/B004WJDFMA/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&keywords=b%C3%BCrostuhl+f%C3%BC%C3%9Fe&qid=1556202584&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1 As for immobilizing the swivel, I've yet to find a solution that doesn't als damage the height adjustment.

Wow, this really looks amazing. I'd also be interested in getting one.

Nineline wrote in a Facebook comment that the improvements are now being tested internally on all maps.

Is custom cockpit liveries fixed in the latest update?

I'm considering getting this throttle but I'm concerned about the lack of three way toggles. T4 to T6 are not snap toggles and spring back to the middle, correct? The Warthog has the three way flaps switch, the three way lights switch and the three way autopilot mode switch. Is there anything comparable on this throttle?

This is actually super easy to fix in DCS. Granted, you have to do it per aircraft, but you can just wait until you want to fly it and are sitting in the cockpit and it will take only a few seconds. Just go to the control configuration and select a field in the column of the controller in question. Then go to "load profile" and select the old config file in savegames/config/input for the particular aircraft. Done.

It's only funny if it's true :) To be fair, out of the two, VIRPIL is known for being able to deliver more readily than VKB. Everything is out of stock on the VKB websites, but almost everything can be ordered from Virpil. They're also coming out with new products much faster (throttle, new bases, pedals). I won't be at all surprised to see the VPC F-14 grip to be out and deliverable before the VKB one. Also, I like the fact that their gear is Warthog compatible out of the box. Therefore I'm very happy that they're also doing an F-14 grip.

Soooo, not in the latest update huh? It's not in the changelog at least.

And thus Oculus buyers also save a few bucks. You get what you pay for and the Oculus Rift is very good for the price. XTAL is the other end of the spectrum.

You sure about this? The color scheme, including the white arrows around the trim HAT are very F-5. Also the bulge with the NWS button. The "shut up and take my money" grip :D

Seeing as Virpil is likely to beat VKB to the punch with an F-14 grip, I won't be surprised if we also see a Virpil F/A-18 grip before we see one from Thrustmaster.

I have a similar opinion to many here. While the experience won't necessarily be overwhelmingly awesome the first time you try it, it's really clear what it adds to the experience once you fly with it turned off. It gives you at least some semblance of a "seat of the pants" feeling that so many say is the key part missing from flight simulators.

Pretty much no difference except that they are completely separate and unaffiliated companies with confusingly similar names, very similar looking products and come from the same part of the world.

Try setting Oculus Home to run as administrator.

Not only that, but they seem to be flying in DCS for their training.

Increasing the pixel density will help a lot with clarity, especially for reading cockpit labels and gauges. However, with your GTX980 you won't get very far before you get significant performance issues.

You mean Tab?

I doubt it's what we're seeing but it actually looks a lot like RAZBAM's WIP Malvinas map.

+1 on this Flying against equivalent fighters it really where this aircraft shines.

I agree. The A-10C is a mud mover through and through and has the most interesting mission types. You'd already be familiar with it though, if you already fly the A-10A. The Viggen might fit the profile of what you want.
