Same thing for me. One more thing. You can pull negative G before first usage of WEP and it will work. But when you use WEP and then pull negative Gs it will stop working and won't work again. Cheers.

To be honest, I'd rather wait and get a relatively bug-free version from the start.

I'm more interested in how it will work with VR.

It would be a good idea for mission/campaign devs to add expected mission time to mission descriptions.

IMHO it's a personal thing. First I wouldn't bother with RAM, as I don't think DSC would benefit from additional 16gb. As for GPU vs warthog... What is your current HOTAS? What bothers you the most when playing DCS? If you're struggling with controls, or want more immersion, go for warthog. If you're struggling with fps or the game doesn't look as good as you'd like, go for GPU. PS. If you decide to get the GPU, don't buy the 2060. Wait for 30 series. Also, the idea that non RT cards will soon become obsolete is bs. Even if raytracing will be introduced to DCS I'm 100% sure it will be an optional thing.

Try this. When approaching the target shoot a very short burst and observe where the bullets land. Then adjust your aim keeping in mind you constantly get closer to the ground. Also, try steeper approaches. You have less time to shoot but the bullets don't drop as much.

TBH, it doesn't look like a digital map to me. Perhaps it's just WIP.

I bet there's a typo somewhere on the code which results in RP calculation uses some fixed values for speed/altitude and not the actual ones.

Just in case it wasn't reported already. AUTO delivery at high speeds seems to be off. Here's a snippet from another thread: Track: https://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=244338&d=1596808265

I did some tests myself and now I too believe it's bugged. I think I also was able to find the root of the problem - airspeed at drop. In the mission there are several containers and a Hornet full of Mk82s. 0 wind. 2 Drops, both at 9000 ft: 1st drop at 440 Kts - miss (by a lot) 2nd drop at 300 Kts - direct hit The only two variables in these drops were airspeed and attack direction (but since there was no wind attack direction didn't matter). The track is attached below. Hornet AUTO bomb test.trk

Do you have various winds at different altitude or strong gusts? These are all thing the targeting computer cannot take into account.

I can fly the Ka-50 and the Mi-8 with the English cockpit. As well as the Mig-15 and Mig-21 (even if it's not ED). That's why I said it's been the standard in DCS. On the other hand, If you mean using English cockpit for English manual, then I'm 100% behind you.

It's been the standard for every other Russian module so I don't see why they shouldn't do it here.

Yeah, I hope the AI won't be just a fancy autopilot. Talking AI like Jester would be a major step in the right direction.

I may have been doing something wrong but in my experience from Ka-50 and Huey even a fixed cannon was more accurate than rockets.

Here's a good guide on how to talk on the radio on MP.

Close. With TPR it's about 25. The good thing is, it doesn't move no matter what floor it stands on.

@zepher I'm in a similar situation (working from home, same desk for flying/working) and I've recently upgraded to a new setup so I think I might help you here. Obviously it all depends on how much money you're willing to spend. I went with this setup: THROTTLE To be completely honest I chose Warthog over WinWing because: a) WinWing Throttle was out of stock at that time b) delivery time of Warthog was much faster anyway c) I've heard good things about Thrustmaster customer service while WinWing is a wild guess in that regard IMHO After a few months of usage the only downside of TM throttle was the ministick (it's the same little "nipple" as on some laptop keyboards) but DeltaSim have an excellent mod for it. It's easy to install and works great. You have to wait for it to be shipped but I highly recommend it anyway. STICK For me it was a match between Virpil and TM, because they have interchangeable grips. Virpil is apparently a better one (more smooth, no "stiction"), but they rarely have them in stock, so you need to wait for them to be ready for shipment. That's why I went for TM base. It's still way better than any cheaper joystick. As for the grip, it depends what aircraft you're most interested in. If it's F-16/A-10, go for the Warthog grip, if it's Hornet/Harrier or the future F-15E, go for the Hornet. One thing to add is that while the Hornet stick has technically the same amount of buttons as the Warthog, the latter has more Hats, so I think it would be easier to use the Warthog stick for the Hornet than the Hornet stick for the A-10. I went for the Hornet because that's what I fly the most. I also strongly recommend buying the extension. I went for the 15cm one. Bought a "cheap" one from AliExpress but there are some more trustworthy (but slightly more expensive) alternatives, like Sahaj. MOUNTS If you have the space I recommend WheelStandPro. The good thing is that you can mount your HOTAS on it and just move the whole thing out of the way when you don't need it. It's also very robust and adjustable. The downsides are: a) it's heavy b) as I've said before you need some space to put it away I can send some pictures later if you're interested. RUDDER As for the rudder I went with TPR as it's one of the best out there. It's expensive, but if you're planning on flying helicopters I think it pays off. If not IMHO you could go for a cheaper one like the TM T.Flight pedals or Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals (I've had the second one for around 8 years and was fairly happy with them). One more thing: technically, WheelStandPro doesn't support TPR pedals, however mine came with drilled holes that fit perfectly, so I didn't have to do anything to make it work. Hope that helps. Cheers

Yeah, I hope so too. A good solution for them would be to just swap the blade models for an animated transparent disc that does not cast any shadows.

Is it actually a screen? I always thought it's just a simple glass to put your map/mission plan behind.

Sorry, can you explain what "basic angle" means? Is it AOA?

I think Harrier has one, but i don't remember the Hornet having such a thing.

I agree 100%. I use ICLS to help me line up on final but once I'm within 1nm I ignore it completely. I often got waved off when I tried to follow it to the deck.

I always had the feeling that the hornet has the tendency to drop the nose just before touchdown. Try anticipating it and be ready to pull the stick up just as you're about to touch the deck.
