Which one do you prefer for air to air gunnery if given the choice between these sights?

Nice podcast, I don't usually listen to them, but I make exceptions for DCS. :thumbup: Really liked the Mk 82.5 commercial :megalol:

At these sale prices, it's too hard to pass up some of these modules. Now I own the hip. :thumbup:

Thanks for posting this. I didn't know about it, and I always thought there should be a feature like this. :thumbup:

My thoughts exactly.

Lol, yeah too bad you can't take "thank you" 's to the bank :D

Thanks SiThSpAwN, I didn't see that one :thumbup: (PS: That was a fast response!)

Does anyone have a better answer than "soon" (or "not soon") ;) for when we can expect period units for WWII planes? I assume they would come with the planned Europe period map. I saw something about the progress on that slowing down significantly :(.

I love Belsimtek for their F-86 and F-15, but I hope this problem is one of their top priorities...

That's a good point. A bigger punch definitely helps for bigger planes. I remember loving cannons for shredding bombers in European Air War when I was a kid. :joystick: :D -I also forgot to add to the poll that machine guns usually have a faster velocity than cannons-

Is IFF modeled in any way in the Sabre? If so how does it work? Also after the latest patch, I think I noticed my radar wasn't locking friendly Sabre's, is that the IFF? :huh:

Which style of equipped guns do you prefer for "your" aircraft for older, dogfighting only planes? (no missiles) A smaller number of heavier hitting, lower ammo cannons OR more small machine guns with more ammo (Personally, I'm torn between the two)

Sounds good. :thumbup:

Ok, now I get it. The quick start manual made it seem like the gyros could be damaged (from hard maneuvering) if you didn't keep the sight caged until right before you start firing.:doh: Thanks for the help!:thumbup:

But you don't need to keep the sight caged at all while dogfighting?

Where can I find the "Repair DCS" executable? I previously deleted the quick icon for it that was in the start menu :doh:.

Thanks for the clarification. I guess I'll just have to get used to holding a button down while maneuvering. :joystick:

Electrical Sight Caging working correctly? When you mechanically un-cage the A-4 sight it immediately becomes completely un-caged. Then to electrically cage the sight you must hold down the button for it. Is this the way it is suppose to be? It seems wrong and inconvenient.

Thanks guys. What Scream said sounds about right for the pitot tubes. For the gun heat I just assume it only needs to be used for cold temps or high altitude.

When is it appropriate to have the pitot heat and the gun heat ON? Always? Or are there negative consequences to having them always on?

Update... Just in case anyone else is having this problem, I haven't figured it out yet, but now I suspect Tacview or a combination of Tacview + FaceTrackNoIR may be causing it.

Unfortunately, I doubt that's the problem... Thanks for the response, but that can't be the problem for me since it only started happening when I began using FaceTrackNoIR. Also I have 8 gigs of ram rated for 1866 speed, and on top of that I have DCS on an SSD. :D Any other ideas from anyone? :confused:

I am successfully using the latest version of FaceTrackNoIR with a PS3 eye camera for headtracking, but I have come across an unusual problem. When I am flying a mission and decide to end it, after i click "Quit" Windows tells me DCS has crashed and logs the crash report. When it finishes logging or I stop it, DCS returns to the main menu correctly as if nothing bad even happened. What would cause this? :confused:

Sweet. Do you think they will discount the Mig-21 if it comes out before the Fall sale? It would still be very new at that point.

Does anyone know when the next sale will be? Maybe a Labor Day sale or the Fall sale? I wouldn't mind paying full price to support the devs, but some of us college kids need to save every penny. :D
