So I've purchased the A-10C, P-51D, and FC3 modules back when they had the flash 70% off sale on the ED site (I'm a poor college joe). I have neither downloaded nor installed any of the modules, i.e. I haven't downloaded any modules and I haven't installed any modules. Logic. Anyways, I might be working with a researcher about integrating flight simulators like DCS with Oculus Rift, and I might decide to download and install probably the A-10C or P-51D modules on a university research computer. However, if I do this, will I still be able to download and install all of the 3 modules on my own computer later on? :smartass::helpsmilie::pilotfly::joystick::book:

In the Cessna 152. Used a combination of toe brakes and rudder yaw (propwash actually gives you extra control/sensitivity of the plane from the horizontal & vertical stabilizer) to taxi down a runway. My instructor mentioned that for dual-engine planes, you can yaw using a thrust differential between the 2 propellers. Also learned about the importance of the trim wheel. My instructor told me that aviating is the art of using trim. Using the trim wheel relieves you of constantly having to push the yoke forward/back and locks you in a certain pitch attitude it seems. Got to "recover" and land the plane several times. Apparently, increasing your angle of attack during the "flare up" part of the landing phase helps generate lift and drag. Also learned a bit about the altimeter (pressure-based). Spent less than an hour in the sim, already am stoked! :joystick::pilotfly::lol::):D

I bought the FC3, A-10C, and P-51D modules a couple days ago, and I would just like to double check here on the forums that they have no expiration date, correct? I can't find any info on their expiration date... :helpsmilie::megalol::pilotfly::joystick::huh: :book: In the event that I'm wrong, I guess I should use the keys ASAP?

Rudder Control: Twist Stick vs Pedals
Visceral Raptor replied to Visceral Raptor's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
For those who don't know, I have a discussion about good rudder pedals to compliment the Warthog stick right here -
Next DCS (US) Fixed Wing Aircraft Wish List
Visceral Raptor replied to diecastbg's topic in DCS Core Wish List
There's already a poll for bombers right here -
Looking for a durable and accurate rudder pedals. Longer physical foot travel distance is a plus, because it allows for more control and theoretically a wider range of input values from each pedal. Maybe even Hall sensors for the pedals. I've read bad things about potentiometer sensors. 1st edit: I would like toe brakes for the rudder pedals. :helpsmilie::pilotfly::joystick::book:

Recommend a Great Joystick for DCS?
Visceral Raptor replied to Visceral Raptor's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
OK I'm probably going to get the new Warthog with Hall sensors. Now I have to decide on which rudder pedals to buy. Yay another post! -

Wow unbelievable! Do you have evidence of this amazingness? -

Well if the Thrustmaster T-16000M has no benefits over the Warthog, then of course I wouldn't buy it. I no longer consider twist stick a benefit, and I don't like the wimpy throttle flap on the T-16000M either. Thanks for saving me the money! -

When you say rudders do you mean rudder pedals? It looks like the HOTAS Warthog here has Hall sensors. How does the stick accuracy compare to the T-16000M? -

I would get the Warthog but I heard it has potentiometers for its pitch/roll stick axis... -
Rudder Control: Twist Stick vs Pedals
Visceral Raptor replied to Visceral Raptor's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
It sounds like rudder pedals are pretty much 100% superior, other than pricing? -
