  1. Maybe not a top speed limit but if you're constantly redlining, sliding on your wheels, and taking damage to your car, then you may win the first lap but you'll end up losing the race. Every piece of machinery has limits and the operator has to weigh the Risk vs. Reward during each attempt at exceeding those limits.
  2. I agree, I would like to see pilots flying their air raft to the G Limits correctly. I just don't think DCS will be able to simulate screws and rivets degrading from pulling Gs. Maybe there's some sort of function where aircraft health can degrade the harder the aircraft is flown but I'm not sure. An instant death when exceeding the limit would be too gamey and unrealistic in it's own way, and an artificial cap on the aircraft would be unrealistic as well.
  3. What would happen if someone exceeded the G Limit?
  4. The new HOTAS table shows that Left Throttle Button Long executes an Image Capture. I didn't pay attention in the original A10C if it's the same but in any case, anyone know what this function does?
  5. It is more forward than it should be. If you're using TrackIR try leaning forward and then recentering the view. This way when you sit back upright you'll lean back into a normal seated position in game.
  6. Also test the "Cursor Confined to Game Window" option under: Options -> VR
  7. Make sure you fullscreen the mirrored image on your monitor using ALT+ENT
  8. This is very true. You gotta get ahead of the stick and throttle and get a feel for it.
  9. Yup, as far as I understand that's exactly what it does
  10. After designating the two target I like to switch to "Auto" scan instead of Manual, just one less thing to have to manage while engaging. You also need to take into consideration the separation of the two targets, the further apart they are the harder it will be for the radar to keep them both in the scan range. I'm far from a professional but that's what I found works.
  11. Yup, this has been around for a while and badly needs to be fixed. For added information, I noticed after the first missile is fired then the ASE and steering circle behave correctly.
  12. Sounds like something that might be related to this bug: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=283898 Good news is it looks like it's fixed internally so maybe we'll see the fix in the next update.
  13. Was working for me just fine earlier today, SP and MP. Maybe post a track and we can check it out?

  15. I think the main point some people are missing is that this is event is simulating a tournament, not a combat situation. Technically it's not even just simulating a tournament, it IS a tournament.
  16. Haha yup a little out of reach for me right now but I'm eventually hoping to build a full pit like that
  17. This setup cost me $250CAD off Amazon (Talking about the Cougar MFDs and makeshift "UFC") Im using it with VR. With a little muscle memory, and peaking under my headset occasionally, it really changed the way I interact with the cockpit. No more fiddling around with the mouse for most critical tasks, especially in the middle of a fight. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B076LRJ528/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ZPJyFbJ2ENNT4 https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B002HH9TRY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_yQJyFbP2HTJBK
  18. Raven One campaign uses a "spacebar" trigger controlled by the player to initiate the wingmen taxi process, this helps ensure you takeoff with your flight. For testing/training/quick missions I dont mind the hot start or air start but I also prefer to cold start in campaigns, unless it's otherwise built in to the story.
  19. This is the type of stuff I hope to see with the new weather system currently in development.
  20. I fly VR and cold start everytime. Not sure that this is the reason you're seeing missions with hot starts.
  21. If I remember correctly, I believe I did the same thing on my first run through and had to replay the mission after double checking quickly on a YouTube video (had a feeling there was more to do in the mission). After you get to Flip saying "we're pushing to mother", head to Mother and orbit. You should get called up with more to do.
  22. I put in many hours trying to AAR with a Saitek X52 Pro using TrackIR but couldn't successfully do it. After getting a TM Warthog and VR I was successful on the 2nd attempt. Naturally those many hours of practice on inferior hardware played a part but proper hardware had a much bigger impact for me.
  23. I dont think we will see any vast improvements until DCS overhauls the engine or moves to something new. And realistically we shouldn't expect it any sooner. IMO implementing these new technologies needs to be done properly to truly take advantage of their benefits, nobody wants to see them haphazardly slapped on. ED take your time and make the next evolution of DCS truly revolutionary
