To OP. As a personal rule, I never buy the first generation of anything. I remember when my sister hounded my mother to get her the first generation of the Ipod, the Iphone and DVD player when we were growing up and all of that shit was expensive and broke within the first year or so. Of course, modern manufacturing and quality assurance has come a long way since the 1990s-2000s, so that's not as applicable as it once was, (except for planned obsolescence, which is alive, well and dirty as hell.) but a lot of development costs are usually dumped on the first few generations of hardware produced as they work in better features, higher quality and develop a reputable brand. So as good as it is, I'd say wait unless you have the money to shell out yet another $600-900 in a few years or so, (+ $100-$1000s more money to possibly upgrade your computer to actually handle VR adequately)

Nvm, I just got the invoice for my order. :thumbup: No one is sleeping at the wheel. (remember to check your spam mail folder)

Same problem, I'm on day 2 and I haven't gotten the email response from crosswind for the paypal form.

Right, sorry, it's Chicago, Illinois USA Also, thanks for the recommendation, I'll look into them!

There were people selling stick extensions but when I went to their website, they were all sold out and had no plans to make more, (I think it was 1 guy personally machining these things). I sort of want finer control over the stick, whereas the real one is several feet long and the desktop joystick is only the handle and the baseplate, making fine movements really hard to make in comparison. Anyone know where to get one of these stick extension, or how to make one? Feel like I should add that while I work in a lab that has heavy cutting, grinding, drilling and soldering equipment, I don't have much experience with by-hand manufacturing. Edit: right, sorry, It's Chicago Illinois USA

For anyone that has Oculus Rift, what's the kind of hardware that you have to get to have a lag free game on max graphical settings?

Honestly, I've never even heard of the Viggen until I got into BMS Falcon 4, but the way people talk about it, they see it as an iconic fighter/attack aircraft. As somone that wants to see it in a similar light, what, to you, makes the Viggen iconic?

Wouldn't the engine overheat?

I'm having trouble climbing past 32,000 feet. What engine settings do you use to get max ceiling?

Love the Spit! Good job!

Just wanted to let you know that you can clip through the cockpit canopy. (Using track IR 5 and only really happens when you look over your shoulder and sit straight up while doing so.

Think someday that will be a feature, in like 2.5? the ability to make custom cutscenes?

I was wondering if it was possible to make a cutscene before the actual campaign starts.

Eh... a few months is nothing. Can't wait for the Updated map though, looks gorgeous!

I found the old post where it was announcing the 109's leaving alpha/ or beta, I forgot, and also announced on ED working on 2.5 and the new Caucasus map. It said that it was on track for release in 2016. Is that still true or did I misread or was it pushed back and I didn't see it?

Did you manage snap rolling the Bf-109?

I'd think it would be awesome to fly a AC-130J Ghostrider in multicrew. ${1} I can't get this damn Youtube video to embed. Here's the link.

Sometimes, when I get hit by a missile, everything goes dark and both engines die. I can get the systems back online by powering up the APU, but how do you determine if you can restart one or both engines?

I've read the emergency procedures in the DCS manual but its still not really clear to me what to do when you lose an engine, or lose both engines, or when you take a hit and your flare dispensers are no longer working and you need them to decoy the next missile heading your way. How do you guys practice emergency procedures?

Any success? And also, why was this thread transferred to bugs and problems? I put this in gen discussion. Is not being able to snap roll the Bf-109 a bug?

The single CSAR mission where you have to get a pilot from a claustrophobic valley is attacked by a 4 man infantry team. It is next to impossible to consistently find them, even when I know their general path and position. What's the best setting for the TGP to find those damn needles?

Still can't do it, tried both suggestions but the slats on the stalling wing keep deploying and catching the stalling wing before a full snap roll is accomplished. Can anyone post a video of a successful snap roll in the Bf-109 in DCS? There are none on Google.

What would change? I mean in how you would fly the Huey?

I think it would be cool to have a short campaign that emulates that day of battle of Duc Pho. Even if it's with the H mod instead of the D.

This advice ended up being the most helpful. Thanks!
