This will be a game changer for flight sims. Might actually be able to see those contacts.

It was the pretty much that, joystick was messed up, did the old IT unplug replug and it started working. Dunno why I didn't think of that right off the bat. Thanks.

When coming up to the target area have the hud prepared in ground attack mode, slew the curser down to the bottom of the hud so you don't have to move it so far when you get to the target, move the plane near the target and not the curser. Let's you quickly acquire and be ready to fire off a missile.

By far my favorite aircraft in the entire game. Can't say I've flown any of the high fidelity frames though.

I setup all my keybinds, joystick commands and all that for the F-15 everything works totally fine when playing without the VR headset turned on, when I enable the headset and try and play the keybindings don't work, the buttons on the joystick don't work, the only thing that works are the default keybindings and the axes on the joystick, am I doing something wrong here? Is there a separate place to bind keys for VR? I am at a total loss as to what's going on here.

I setup all my buttons and whatnot for FC3, I can use all my bindings just fine in non VR mode, as soon as I get into the flight in VR the buttons don't do anything and the keyboard doesn't work either, I can still control the aircraft with the joystick but no commands for buttons work. It was working before I did all the control scheming, I have no idea what option I must have ticked to make all the controls stop responding in VR. Any idea?

Actually did some searching and realize this isn't how the real mig is but there may be a way to get it back to the old version. I will give it a shot. Sorry for the wasted megabytes.

And I hope to god this is still in the options cause I dearly need this. And it is not.

MSI R9 290 Game runs great.

Mig 29s I haven't played since the update with the new cockpit and a lot of other new updates, last time I played the new F-15 and SU27 flight models came out. Anyways, what happen to the navigation setup in the mig 29? It use to show your direct route in the little screen in the cockpit. (reason why I loved russian jets they were so easy to nav with lol) So was this just not realistic or what? I really miss my direct line navigation!!!! The new cockpit is stupid awesome though and we just need a new plane model and flight model for it and I can die a happy man. After searching for a picture I also just realized the radar cone in the mini display is gone as well? It just displays whatever is on the hud? Is this just a bug?

Yeah I've been waiting for a Mig-29 update for ages now. It's probably my favorite plane to fly in FC3 and it's been badly neglected. :(

I agree with the first comment! And I will give that a try, I usually do give the mission planner a look usually to change my munitions.

Just have to set it down gently, I landed it a few times already without any problems. Not to toot my own horn however.

I also have to use the mouse to look around as I don't have any type of tracking system which makes following targets in close A2A combat difficult sort of. Really need to invest in some type of trackr setup. I use a 23 inch LCD computer monitor usually and again its at 1920x1080 its native res. I've tried playing on a 32 inch LCD tv but even though the picture was much larger, even at 1920x1080 stuff just was not nearly as clear as on the 23 inch. Like you said 4k would probably make things much easier, and maybe the nevada map as well due to the desert. I play strike fighters 2 with mods from time to time and the landscape (usually isreal/syria) is just desert and the graphics aren't quite as good as dcs so spotting tanks and targets is a cinch.

Now I hate you! :(

Spotting Targets I know I will garner some hate for this, but I still cannot get away from using labels to locate and destroy targets. More so the ground targets I just simply cannot see them. Half the time I can't even see them when using the labels either. Say the first mission for the SU-25t How does anyone see the ground targets? They literally blend in with the scenery. Unless your flying really low and slow I just can't seem to pick them out. I am also running the game maxed out graphics wise at 1920x1080, would using a bigger screen or lowering my resolution to make things bigger help? How do you guys spot targets?

I just write controls and commands down on paper most of the time, and now that you can actually adjust controls in game I don't even have to do that anymore.

This small update is it out? The Rc1? I think my updater is broken or something, I had to mess with my computers clock/date to get it to update to the 1.2.8 and now it hasn't even ran to get the new update that was released? EDIT: NVM it worked. Did they fix the F-15 cockpit not showing the correct engine power on the indicator?

If FC3 is an arcade fighter game then what would you call ace combat and HAWK?

That's a shame it use to be nice flying in FC2 in a tight diamond formation. IMO FC2 was fantastic and if the game didn't stop working I'd probably be playing that since FC3 lacks content by the boatload. There's literally so much in FC2 that just didn't make it to 3. I don't fully know why but I am sure there is a reason for it. So I don't want to be a complainer. Just a little disappointing. I had a ton of great mods for it which made it really nice to look at as well. I don't use HDR in FC3 as it blinds the hell out of me so I am really not getting any of the benefits of 3. The cockpits are nice but that's about it. OH and the sound in FC3 is lightyears beyond that in FC2. That is another good thing for FC3.

IMO the more the merrier in terms of content, but to satisfy your WW2 needs for now you guys know IL2 Stormavik is out and has been patched up to where the game is quite excellent. Nothing like storming around in a BF-109 or in the old little hurricanes.

Is there something I am doing wrong with Flaming Cliffs 3? I can't get the wingmen to get any closer than say .7km away. I just switched over from FC2 and they use to get right up next to you and were able to maintain a solid formation. Now it seems like they just trail way back even after picking close formation. Sucks for trying to take pictures and making attack formations. Any help would be great thanks.

There's a lot more to it than just that. You need to program the AI to be able to play out those commands also.

I do not, or at least I couldn't tell anyone how to do it. Care to explain?

Is there any way to get the AI to join you on the runway for a tandom take off? If not what is the best course of action to wait for the group to get airborn. Thanks.
