Noticed last night that you can move your head outside the cockpit with Oculys Rift and see through parts of the airframe. It doesn't seem possible using TrackIR though. Will try to post a vid or screenshor after work

One word : Failure. Automatic system that doesn't fail safe? Best if the person operating it knows the limits.

So according to yo-yo they shouldn't deploy but what happens if your pressure relief sticks closed? ;) I suspect this is why its hammered home that its the pilots responsibility not to extend flaps above the specified speed... Because they might decide to come down after all!

Anyone got the time to actually work out the forces involved at various airspeeds to deploy flaps vs force available to do so? Can't argue with physics ;)

Woah an unannounced new module has been released? Is it worth the money? Should I forget a Mig21 SimPit and build a Friesian SimUdder for the milk?

The limits are about the distance needed to STOP if need be too I suspect....

I think civil light aircraft could have their place in DCS as it stands now. VIP transport, smuggling and as a basic training as well as just flying about like you would in a pure civil sim. For airliners to be worth adding we'd need bigger maps but again there would be crossover between pure civil and combat scenarios.

Agreed. AWACS/GCI is critical. That or an F15 at contrail height like yesterday... beautifil sight seeing 4 R3R's from a perfect pincer turn him into a cloud of chaff!

Exactly what I was thinking when I saw this thread....

Check for control conflicts. Sounds like you may have the vertical view control bound to something that is interfering

Have flown a mission with friends... Great fun and will be running mission 2 next weekend after editing for weather and time of day etc. Any way to limit number of missiles as well as aircraft and have that update after each mission?

Numpad 5.....

Set rift as primary display

I'm having trouble. It is refusing to write the campaign progress file. Have followed the instructions and it works on a friends machine. Unfortunately his internet connection sucks so it's going to be a gamble using him as the host! If you get the other aircraft working too (and ideally the odd ground pounder mission) I'd be willing to make a little donation!

Bump Would love to hear leathernecks opinion on perhaps a "taxi assist" option that we can turn off for full real differential braking and castering nosewheel

Best pedals IMO are mfg crosswind Dont get a G940... go with an MS FFB2. I made the mistake of upgrading to a G940 and its not worth the money. Very harsh cogging of the FFB motors. A massive deadzone with no FFB effects and the reversal bug means it needs modification to work acceptably IMO.

Two things matter for spotting. Contact size and contact shape. A big monitor has bigger pixels. So you see contacts more easily. But identification is just as difficult. A higher resolution decreases your ability to spot a single pixel BUT once closer you can see the shape earlier. Best is both! Big monitor at high resolution.

Wow id never have imagined they would use imperial at all!

Most of the EU is pure metric including spain. Its just wierd brits like me that use both. Also america doesn't use imperial really! A US gallon is smaller than an impetial gallon by a fair margin!

Second best looking jet IMO;) but sexiest jet I've seen actually flying.

Only a week to go.... Question is can I resist the urge to buy on day 1 and wait for EFM or not?

Mirage III would be great to see but I doubt it's One of LN's next modules. While we are talking about food would also love some swedish meatballs in the shape of a Draken ;)

Not been back to the depot yet to see what they can do but royal mail is less than £20 for 1.5kg package to Croatia within 3-5 working days I'd be happy to pay that myself as it will help bring a great product to the community. PM for my contact details so you can check the postage from digikey/mouser to my place.

I'll ask my ex lightning avionics tech friend and see what he knows about the export versions!

Sounds like an interesting system and would be a lot of fun to fly GCI using Lazur. Could also be the basis for other datalink systems for later modules....
