How about just being able to have nations rather than red vs blue? And just group the Nations up into as many groups you want? And the user can assign names to whatever groups they want. Eg: ISAF, KFOR, SFOR, NATO, UN, Warsaw Pact, etc... etc...

When you turn on "random failures" in the ingame options will we see stuff like this happening in the carrier module? Aviation in and of itself is an inherently dangerous business, add the naval environment to it and it multiplies that danger immensely. Would be nice to see the dangers of flight deck operations reflected in the Carrier Module. found this nice Gem too

Guys, would the adapter you guys sell for the Warthog stick grip also work on the new TM F-18 grip or it requires a new adapter to be designed? Thanks

what were the HOTAS mounts they were using for the demo? The desk mounts they were using

I see they still have not fixed the helmet handle placement on the helmets lol

I hope this video I created can help some people... I really enjoyed Ironmike's video that he made and I learned alot from it, and so have my friends I fly with. Hope he makes more videos in the future as well... anyways, I tried to go into the weeds into the details of what I was doing so that you could be well informed of every variable I was taking into account.

Is there any performance increase too for us 2D monitor users? I mean would we notice any?

Honestly, how do you setup these curves so well? I'd like to learn how to do it myself too

or a converted Harrier pilot from Razbam to be a Hornet pilot, since they used photogrammetry

They are awesome, thanks alot... But the one for the Tomcat I have to push it up against the MIL detent to have the DLC and speedbrakes retract

just so long as below AB level is pretty much linear, I find its needed to have fine throttle control when landing on the boat

Funny, I have the same one unless it is a earlier build... The one Debolestis made?

I'm hoping for a new pilot model too, The AV8B pilot from Razbam looks so cool... As well as the Tomcat pilot and RIO from Heatblur...

Just an idea to add to the realism of the salute mechanics, but can the night time cat launches use the master lights switch to signal a "salute" as ready to launch? IE in day time you use a hand salute gesture to signal the CAT officer, at night time the signal is the exterior lights on the aircraft turning on to signal the CAT officer (VIA the master lights switch on the throttle for example) Also would like to see the sparking visual effect from the aircraft hook hitting the deck and dragging on it with a bolter. As well as the actual cable itself causing sparks from hitting the deck when caught.

Its gonna take alot more than 5 inches of vertical movement :D

God, I miss the G indication on the HUD... At least you get the Alpha tape on the HUD frame lol

Maybe get it from Heatblur when the A model comes out...

I mean I would get that if we had seat of the pants feel in DCS, but we do not and as such we rely on visual and audible cues

Problem is when I move the seat down enough to see the G needle where it should be, your head is straight ahead in front of the stick and TID now... So good luck flying lol

Here is what I am using, thanks for your post up above Strikeeagle345... I used yours as a baseline and tweeked it so that the speedbrakes are retracting automatically at MIL power when I come immediately against the AB detent. Because the one you posted had the MIL power further into the detent for me... Hope this helps some folks out.

yeah noticed that about the trim needles too... So annoying

Either its because of parallax from pilots view perspective or the G meter is giving slightly false indication. But typically in straight and level flight you would be showing 1 G on the meter, in the Tomcat the needle is below 1 G by almost 1 needle width. When trimming so that the needle is at 1 G from pilot view, and then switching to external F-2 view of own jet in DCS... It indicated the jet is flying at 1.2 Gs and not 1.0 as trimmed in the cockpit and shown on the indicator. Thus, the G indication in the cockpit instrument is not matching what DCS is seeing by .2 Gs... While .2 Gs might seem marginal, it is approximately half of .5 G. If this is the case, I would like to see it resolved in future patch.

The F-14 NATOPS does mention shutting off the right engine if at low gross weights to prevent the plane from building up too much speed on taxi. So far I have not needed to and I suppose it is because of this issue, so the inclination would be that the jet with 2 engines running and low gross weight = enough thrust at idle to move the plane so that the only work around was to shut the right engine off on taxi.

Thanks i'll give it a read
