The Tomcat is a very Stick+Rudder jet. You can get away with flying it without rudder input as long as you are slow and deliberate, but as soon as you get into any kind of high G maneuvering (basically any kind of combat maneuvering) requiring both ROLL+TURN you will need a lot of rudder input to keep the jet stable without departing. When it was first released, suddenly there were a lot of virtual air jockeys who were used to fly by wire jets who couldn't wrap their heads around how to fly the tomcat without putting it into a spin as soon as they hit any kind of high AoA maneuvering. It's very challenging to fly properly compared to FBW jets, but also a lot more rewarding. It's definitely my favorite fixed wing aircraft in DCS by a long mile.

@Karon ED might very well be unaware of the problem, if this is an unintended consequence (read > bug) of some other changes they made. You have an ED Closed Beta Tester Team tag, so you probably know best how this works and how many new bugs are introduced for every one they squash.

F4 BVR tactics: Detect bogey out of visual rage using your radar. Fly into visual range to get bandit confirmation, engage within visual range.

WMR always felt like a terrible idea, and was terribly implemented to boot. There is a reason why Microsoft is getting rid of it. I'm not using my G2 because it's a hassle to set up correctly and WMR is a big part of that. I was looking for an excuse to sell it, and this is as good as any.

Time to sell my G2 I guess...

No one cares.... No wait let me correct that, no one REALLY cares.

Hi everyone. Are you still flying your 'Bolts? If so, how are you employing them and are you enjoying your experience with them in DCS World?

https://theaviationist.com/2023/12/20/bob-pardo-has-died/?utm_content=cmp-true They don't make guys like this anymore. When they say someone has The Right stuff, this is exactly what kind of stuff they mean.

So the more you fly the less smokey they become? That a really cool little detail if Heatblur modelled it.

It's engines are crazy smoky, probably only when hitting afterburners right? Nice little detail in any case.

Can the Eagle land on an aircraft carrier? No? I. Rest. my. Case.

Lol....so much for the famed Win11 task scheduler

I've found that little blurb on Intel's site, but all the benchmarks I've seen of numerous games\multithreaded in Win10 vs Win11 have been within the margin of error. Not sure how that could be true if Intel\Microsoft did such a poor job on the the Win10 task scheduler. Sorry if Im being a pain about this, but if this is indeed true I will gladly upgrade to Win11 TODAY, but I would really appreciate some real world evidence beforehand.

Can you please provide some evidence for this? This used to be the case over a year ago but this should have been patched by Microsoft, and I have been unable to find any benchmarks or evidence that this is still true.

This should NOT be the case. The thread scheduler for Windows 11 exists and should fully work in Windows 10 as well. In fact this was patched in by Microsoft soon after the 12th gen Intel CPUs were released.
