  1. Road map with dates should be part of the EA deal IMO, it is what we use to plan the development of anything in the background anyway? so should be information ED already have ?
  2. I bought a Rhino FFB stick several months back now, it is like a MSFFB2 but on steroids, it is absolutely awesome, more power than I could ever need as well ! As more and more people learn the delights of FFB I am seeing more and more requests for improvements of the effects, and more appreciation for how much the effects add to the experience, which is heaven for us people who have been singing that song to deaf ears for so many years.
  3. Worth cleaning the metashaders and FXO files in the saved games ? maybe something got corrupted ?
  4. In Euro Truck Sim we can drive in VR mode but still have all the menus and settings etc in 2d mode, press a key to swap between as well. In DCS this means I could do my mission editing etc in 2d, then jump in cockpit to test in VR, where now I edit in 2d, then close the game, reload to fly in VR......clunky as heck Also, is it possible when we fly we don't have to draw the picture on the monitor, when we are viewing it VR - quite a few VR games stopped doing that a while ago now ?
  5. Maybe a trick exists, but I don't believe this is possible out of the box, but is there a way to exclude AI traffic in a zone/area please ?? I want traffic in the map, just not in particular areas TY
  6. I can't say with certainty what my AoA was, I would however expect it was at least 15/20, during the roll I felt like I had it up as high as I could get it without tail striking - I will do some more practice however, it took a short while to even land it nicely at all compared to other types - spoilt by too many hours of slamming the deck with the Hornet no doubt
  7. Anyone else find the aerobraking a little under stated? I have been flying in and out of Incirlik lately, a lovely runway, Landing on the numbers, at around 165/170kn I did an extended aero brake there and quickly started to run out of runway, still 110knots approaching the second taxiway junction, only just managed to get the nose down and brake in time to get off the end......just feels like the speed scrubs a little quicker with the F16 and Hornet ? far from an expert in the F15E, still less than 100hrs
  8. Maybe the fact I run with the wind etc on just exaggerates the above ...... Thx for the clarification, jack of all aircraft here and master of none, I do have at least a couple thousand hours on the F18 tho, and that did feel like it changed in ground handling stability, similar story with the A10C. I have never made a specific test for the above, so might try those tests now with the F18 and A10C, my most familiar rides, only did the F15 and F16 as I have been flying those the most recently. TY
  9. 2 very different outcomes.... Clean missions, clean aircraft on the runway, 0 wind etc, take off, then drop straight into the pattern and land again. F15E, I assume NWS turns off automatically on that aircraft as all I seem able to do is cycle between normal and hi NWS, seemed to honestly go ok ? F16, following the advice above I quickly dropped the NWS - def felt better on take off but landing still felt weird multiple times, to the point I actually double check at the end NWS was still disabled as I tried to leave the active. So 2 thoughts here........previously I have never struggled, did ground handling change at some point the last few months maybe ?? maybe being punished for old habits I have not needed to correct before ?? F16 feels very unstable compared to the F15, which is somewhat expected, but I would think the F16 would have some natural positive toe angle in the main gear to help stabilise it , it surely isn't this wild in RL As I never usually run with 0 wind , adding that wind surely only exaggerates all the above ?? f15_clean.trk f16_clean.trk
  10. Sure thing mate np, ty. f16trg.trkJust a quick take off and a quick mess around and a landing, I let the plane do its own thing for a moment towards the end of the runway, just to show how badly it seems to pull if you don't micro manage the rudder. Just skip the middle of the trk whilst I shoot some stuff

  12. I will see about getting some grabs...........so if nobody else feels this maybe there is a problem elsewhere then, is all I can conclude - swerving off the runway trying to take off or taxi has become a frustrating habit lately for me tho.
