  1. Engines off, canopy up?
  2. I understand. I didn't want to step on toes, but as you defined your squad as Russian speaking, and ours is VFA-14 (not VF-14), along with the fact that people are taking whole carrier wings with multiple squadrons, the options become limited. There is some distinction in that you're VF and not VFA. I wasn't sure how active you were either since your website wasn't complete. This is going to happen unless people start inventing fantasy squadrons.
  3. Are you installed on an SSD?
  4. It works, but I would honestly suggest either modding the axis on the Warthog, or using one of the hats on the back of the throttle. The sensitivity is a little wonky, even with curves set. I've never been able to get it to feel right in anything but the A10.
  5. http://www.vfa-14.com Welcome to your new career. Welcome to the Virtual VFA-14 "Tophatters". Remember this? If you're an older gamer like me, you'll remember back in the early 90s when flight sims were THE genre of choice for PC gamers. F-19, F-117A, F-15E, Gunship 2000. We spent hundreds of hours in them, and they all had one thing in common that 20+ years later still has not been reproduced. A real sense of having a career. Personally, it was one of the things I enjoyed most about these games, a feeling of real attachment to your progress. It was with this feeling of nostalgia in mind that I set out to develop the VFA-14 Tophatters. Like those old Microprose games, members are provided with a sense of ownership over their career with a deep progression system, including dynamic uniforms that each officer in the squadron can watch develop over time as rank and ribbons are added. Full citations are included, logbooks, medal racks, secondary billets, etc. You're guaranteed to feel a real sense of accomplishment and pride as you watch your career develop. You can see our example here. More than just this career element that adds a lot of fun, we're also committed to realistically portraying naval aviation -- it's what we're all passionate about -- that's why the framework has been established to flesh out dedicated departments for training and mission/campaign creation, with incentives to promote creativity and community growth. If you're interested, come check us out. We are very new, but excited to see what the future has in store. Website: http://www.vfa-14.com Discord: https://discord.gg/nDwK4ad

  7. Ok, missed it. So that one is Russian speaking. What are the community's unwritten rules on multiple squadrons of based off the same real squadron? As I said, there are only so many to pick from so there are going to be duplicates.
  8. I don't know if this is frowned upon, but I am in the process of building a squadron using the VFA-14 Tophatters name. I did a search for its use in this thread and didn't find any, so I believe it's free. The website will be up in a few days. For those interested, we will be flying both the F-18 and F14 (They currently fly F18E and flew F14A/B before that) and very deep career tracking can be expected. There are only so many squadrons and I don't want to step on toes by selecting one for representation that is already established. As I said, I did a search here and didn't find anything. Cheers, and Merry Christmas.
  9. Whoever is doing AG radar and the SA page.
  10. Realistic combat loads likely only have one per station.
  11. Just disable comments.
  12. I find it's off a little with my TIR, like it is slightly higher than the center position.
  13. Not on landing though.
  14. Would be nice if they also limited the A10 to combat loads.
  15. Yeah that seemed like a weird mapping. Jello from FPP noted a lack of auto-throttle when flying with Wags as well. Seems like they really use it a lot.
  16. Seems like one of the first questions real world F18 pilots ask when trying out the F18 in DCS: "Is there an auto-throttle?" I'm assuming that it adjusts throttle to maintain a speed when the button is pressed. This sure would be handy for carrier landings. Is it in the pipes?
  17. That would be nice since the light toggles are under it.
  18. It's a Track IR recenter button when the TM stick is released :)
  19. How do I jettison the centerline fuel tank?
  20. I click on a server (Inferno) and it just goes to "Loading" screen and never loads. 32 gig of ram, 1080Ti, i7 4790.
  21. I'm a dummy, thanks.
  22. I bought these years ago, and I don't think I have a activation key for either. It's not in my purchased list on my profile. The A-10C came with DCS back then, it wasn't an individual purchase. It was when the A10 was first released. What do I do in this case?
  23. I remember those in Aces High. They were pretty awesome with that many people involved in a historical scenario. Flew terrified the whole time.
  24. I've owned Nevada since it came out, I have it installed, but I've never tried it. The hassle of installing every module again and sorting through all the keymaps...meh...I'll just wait for the merge.
