Versor

Same like F-18 still can use paddle with high speed and maintain almost constant 10 G. Yesterday we fight a lot and i could say that maybe i dont know how to fight in F-16 but i think that in dogfight F-16 has no chance against F-18. If it is like in reality is ok for me

Hi BIGNEWY is any FM update for Viper is planned for today?

I must write that. I love this plane. I like the exterior very much. In my opinion, the cockpit is phenomenal. The only thing missing is the pilot's body (I fly in VR and for me it is important think). When the F-16 was announced, I wondered how the ED would handle the sounds. But the sounds are just amazing. The sounds in the cockpit are just awesome. I love them. I don't know if FM is realistic. I've never flown a real F-16, never even sat in the cockpit. After the recent update, it seems to me that FM is much more better. It is no longer such a brick. Keep it up good work. I hope you will fine-tune every detail and the Viper in DCS will be made as realistic as possible.

Very important thing in the f-18 is the ability to use the paddle at higher speeds. Thanks to this, the F-18 can achieve overloads much higher than the permissible ones. This makes F-18 an unbeatable dogfighter. I don't know how it is in reality and what would happen if the pilot used a paddle and reached, say, 9 g in the F-18

WOW! Great think.

Revised FM for Viper was supposed to be included in a previous update. ED informed about this. I did my simple turn rate tests comparing F-16 to F-18 and for me F-18 is a better ratefighter than Viper. And much more better point fighter. We fly from time to time with friends and we make some dogfight F-16 vs F-18. The F-18 pilots only say - "poor Viper pilots they don't have any chance" And one more think - how JF-17 (AI - ACE) is sitting on my six all the time and he is even faster than me while i'm doing 500-600 knots with 8-9 G in F-16?

In VR HUD glass disappears.

Yes it's true. Awesome newsletter today. It is a pity that everyone forgot to add information about new systems in Viper. I am browsing the Viper mini-updates folder but there is nothing new there.

And I took two days off from work to rest and fly the updated Viper in the new clouds. I was expecting a postponement of the release as always but I'm angry anyway

It looks like real .

One more thing. The flight characteristics of the Viper in DCS are completely different for a clean Viper without weapons and pylons, and completely different for a Viper without weapons but with pylons. It is amazing to me that a few pylons can have such a strong influence on the performance of such a powerful jet plane.

Unfortunately, the current situation in the DCS is such that the F-16 flying brick has no chance in dogfight with fighters such as the F-18 or JF-17. No matter who sits in the F-16 cockpit, the fight ends badly for him very quickly. We have already tested a lot, we have conducted many types of combat. The effect is the same. In the F-18 you can drink coffee in peace and relax in the fight against the F-16. The F-16 pilot is doing his best to get everything out of his FSSB, the tired hand wants to fall off and after the first lap you will see the F-18 on yours sixth getting ready to shoot. The only thing that can be done while fighting the F-16 is not to turn after the merge, but use full thrust and run away.

I have asked for this many times on the ED forum. Every time when i buy new modules i have to fight with this in throttle setup. I don't understand why ED wan't to implement so good option in our game. I have saitek x-65f and my afterburner detent on throttle never fit with this in game. And i don't know that i have 100% of power or maybe 94%.

Hi all I have now Lenovo Explorer, my computer spec is i5 6600 k, GTX 1070 and 24 Gb of ram. What do you think guys it will be better for me to wait for Reverb or maybe buy Rift S now? Maybe someone of you have some comparison between Lenovo and Rift S. Is it worth to make a change ? I only play in DCS and my IPD is some about 64. I do not know what to do.

Hello everyone I have problem with afterburner detent in DCS from ages. I can't setup my throttle good for me. Today was enought with Mig-29 throttle setup that why i decided to write this topic. I have saitek X-65F HOTAS. My afterburner detent on throttle doesn't meet with afterburner on in all planes in DCS. Thats why i need to always fight with this axes setup in game. But after setup i really don't know what kind of power i have, its nearly to afterburner - is 99 % or maybe 96%? of my engine power. Pls help me if someone know how to do that correcty. Why after so long time with DCS they can't add setup for iddle and afterburner setup just like for example in very old BMS? Move your throttle to iddle position and click mouse then move your throttle to afterburner position and click mouse - thats all without hours of fight with this axes.

Ok i know everything. I had ask ED about bonus system for F-14 of course after pre order time. And they write me that F-14 don't participate in the bonus system.

Guys i need you help. If i have 38 $ on my account now to spend and i will wait for F-14 to finish preorder. Could i buy this plane for (79.99 $ - 38 $ ) = 41,99$ ? I really don't understand ED bonus system.
