THanks for your Feedback. But how do i know where exactly the triggers are, so that the mission continues? I mean finally i wont be able to intercept and wont be able to fight the Mig21....means i reaturn more or less to the base then and finish the mission. How do i know i can return now to the base?

Hello, this is my first DLC campaign i want to fly. But currently more frust than lust. Mission 1. I start, i fly straight ahead until AWACS tells me there is a single contact. Ok, i turn towards it, but i dont get him on the radar (i basically never find something on the radar in the 40 miles-mode. When i get closer either a SAM gets fired on me, or the nice female voice tells me to fly somewhere else. Nevertheless, the contact is not there anymore after some minutes of flying. Ok, i go on the new heading. Then, AWACS tells me that some bogeys have pop-up, i go that direction. I guess these are the Mig21 (i dont know where they start exactly). Then i fly a while around Krasnodar - i get 4 or more times the message, that a group has pop up. But they never come so close that a fight will start. When i fly 1-2 minutes south of Krasnodar, of course the SAM hell starts to happen. So back to the north, area around the 3 lakes between Krymsk and Krasnodar. THen i fly and fly and fly...and nothing happens until my tank is empty. Mission 1, second try. I start, i fly according the waypoints on the briefing. No contacts get reported by AWACS. nothing, zero. not the single contact, not the group of Mig 21. So, what am i doing wrong. This is really my first scripted DCS campaign und i dont get the point what i am doing wrong. What is the key that the mission continues? If there are no contacts, nothing to do, i would normaally return to base and finish the mission. But i wont let me, because obviously i am missing some targets? Some hints for me to "enjoy" the campaign?

Thank you for that feedback!

Yesterday i flew the first time on the server, it was really fun! A question for my understanding: Frontline Units are spawning in the area of the red-blue frontline and are the major targets i should attack with A10/Su25, right? So most probably, i find target vehicles in the area of the frontline?

150 ping? that makes a difference especially in dogfighting when the other guy has 15 ms ping...

This server is in the US, right? Isnt that a ping issue then for European players?

First, i replaced my Warthog Base with the WarBRD nearly a year ago...best decision ever! Its perfect. On Christmas time 2020, i got my Virpil Alpha Constellation and replaced the Warthog Stick...now, after some months, i am back on the Warthog stick. My experience: - the Virpil alpha is quite uncomfortable in my hand on longer flights (though i optimised the handhold, position to my armchair, etc.). The handrest of the Warthog fits better to my hand. - i never found a satisfying solution to replace the DMS and TMS and TRIM Buttons with the 2 Hats of the ALPHA. After half a year, my Warthog Stick muscle memory still let me push the wrong buttons... - i find some buttons quite difficult to use appropriate (e.g. the Button for the pointing finger on the top) - i find the Warthogs CMS button better to use, i often accidentally activated functions on the ALPHA i did not intent (e.g. CMS left, while i wanted CMS down) - the 4-step-trigger (!) was for me quite confusing (i reduced this to 2-step-trigger in the software) Whats great: The little Joystick for view control. But still missing DMS, TMS and TRIM. So i am back to the Warthog Stick and for me, for all aicraft in DCS, Falcon etc...fits best. And the metal feeling...feels better imho. And one soft factor for me is: I fly nearly all current and old flight sims...but as the F16 and the A10 are my long time favorites, i like the stick anyhow...

Aah, that means the Mini-Stick is for example, from far left 0% and far right 100% on the same axis. 0-10% means then left side, 90-100% means right side. Understand, i will try it. Update: Works fine, thank you!

Interesting. They work in all 4 directions as buttons? Down, left, up, right? Because from your screenshot it looks like 0-10% are buttons (but in which direction??) and 90-100% are other buttons (again in which direction?)

Thanks for the hint, i found the tutorial how to define a button to an axis. But then, the X-axis only works on the left side, the Y-axis only on the top side of the mini-joystick. How to configure it that all 4 directions work each as a button?

Is it possible to map any axis on the small thumb joystick on the Constellation Alpha? I have not been successful so far...

Same here, no cent from my wallet anymore until i have the feeling the one or other module gets finished after years of early access... :thumbup:

Bought today, had it in my crosshair for a long time. :music_whistling: I love this little bird. Im a little bit picky in choosing my modules. So far im only using the A10, the Huey and now - tadaaaa - the Harrier. :joystick: Just wanted to tell :D Jan

Für mich die schönste Maschine aller Zeiten: Die P51D. Linienführung wie ein Cadillac.

Same here: TM Stick on a WarBRD Base. The best combination i have ever had. Extremely precise with the perfect centering force. Together with the TM Throttle and Crosswind Pedals really perfect.

Yesterday my first try on the server. I was shot down on my way to the Bullseye, did not know there was something behind me :D But Navigation is difficult in the F5 - it seems there is no Tacan station. So its more visual navigation to the Mountains and back (if i come back...)

Hi, yes i read that, but which frequencies i need to use in my F-5 ingame? Is that mentioned in some ingame briefing or something like that? (i have not yet joined the server)

Is there a description about the server rules? Especially how and what to communicate with who?

Hi, i bought the F-5 in the last sale. Right now im learning the machine. Is there still activity on the Cold War Server? I would like to fly mainly online and be a part of that community :) But: i still not understand how that thing with simple radio works on the server.

Danke Rakuzard. Dann steht dem Austausch des Warthog-Gimbals durch das hochgelobte Virpil Gimbal nichts im Wege :) Ich nutze auch die Monstertechs - ein Traum!

Mach ich heute abend!

Passt der Warthog Stick ohne weiteres auf die Virpil Base? Das plane ich in Gedanken nämlich auch schon. Die Buttons und ihre Funktionalitäten sind dann die Gleichen? Oder wie kann ich mir das vorstellen?

Aloha, Freunde des gepflegten Simulierens :music_whistling: Ich suche auch noch Leute, die wie ich - nicht sehr profimässig aber doch sehr interessiert - ein wenig mit DCS rumsimulieren wollen. Ich habe vor etwa 3-4 Jahren mal mit der A10 angefangen, aus privaten Gründen jedoch eine längere Pause einlegen müssen. Die Grundlagen der A10 habe ich beherrscht, allerdings nie vertieft. Ich habe auch noch einige andere Module, aber momentan möchte ich erstmal wieder mit der A10 einsteigen.:pilotfly: Das heisst, ich kann zu manchen Themen auch mal Tipps geben, an anderen Stellen muss ich selbst wieder doofe Fragen stellen.:thumbup: Nett wäre es, wenn sich einfach ein paar Noobs zusammen tun könnten und hin und wieder mal zusammen fliegen, testen, üben, ausprobieren. Ohne den Zwang, alles perfekt machen zu können - eben Spass an der Sim haben. Das ist mir wichtig. Wirds zum Zwang, vergeht mir meist der Spass an einer Sache.:cry: Durch meine nicht ganz schlechte Leitung denke ich kann ich auch hier und da mal den Server/Host übernehmen.:smartass: Im Mission Editore kenne ich mich kaum aus, daher muss ich erstmal wieder reinfinden, wie wir beispielsweise Übungsmissionen an unsere Bedürfnisse anpassen können. :( Meine Hardware besteht aus nem aktuellen PC, TrackIR und nem Warthog/Crosswinds. Persönlich: Bin nahezu 40, habn kleines Baby zuhause. Das geht meist mit Mutti gegen 8 ins Bett und der Papa Paladin könnte ab dieser Zeit abends dann quasi Wingman sein. :joystick: Ich habe einen eigenen TS Server (ich glaube 10 Slots), falls wir keinen finden. Ansonsten - wer mich aufnehmen oder mit mir zusammen fliegen will - sollte mich doch einfach mal im Steam adden. Dann fällt das kommunizieren schon einfacher. :) Gruss, Jan

Lino, deine Guides sind super! Bitte mehr davon!
