  1. The kc135 boom drogue adapter is a complete pain in the arse IRL and no disrespect but if it was truly modeled in DCS we would have very little success as close formation is a bit harder than real life. KC130 is interesting but the thing is dam slow when you are in a fighter we had to use mid flap to refuel of it. Albeit a slightly different version the RAF only has a center basket. Anyway fwiw I would vote to fix the S3 speed bug and we could continue to use that. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
  2. Are you sure the Cam is secure I had a. Thunk and it was because the CAM wasnt screwed in in both screw hole my own fault. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
  3. Just a note at the moment VR is worse than real life. Not by a lot but you should not lose the guy you are fighting in a 2 circle fight IRL but I certainly do, I am tracking him and then he gets to the limit if visual range for the rift. This was in a Mig 21 with an F5 , normally I always make sure its a single circle fight but that doesnt work in the 21. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
  4. Ok you are winding me up arent you. I have supported VKB to tune of 2 Gunfighters and I am sure that the boys can take a little prod without it hurting their feelings [emoji22] Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
  5. I only complain cos it may make VKB bring out the MCG quicker. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
  6. Probably a very low priority given its lack of relevance to Real life in 99% of occasions. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
  7. It maybe some pages are restricted so cant be recorded so the guy just put an innocuous page up. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
  8. I have the soft cam in and it works well for Helo flying with the medium springs. There is no real notch in the center. Afraid I havent tried the no center cam but have done a lot of sling loading and not had a problem. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    Sorry slightly offf topic now but in answer to the last. PAR with a HUD is actually pretty easy we used to get asked to do them on the head down instruments for controller training because most of their calls were on the glidepath on the centerline when we used the HUD. German Tornado didnt have an ILS the main problem IRL is it limits your diversion options. Back in my day all military fields had PAR probably something to do with all NAV aids being off in wartime kinda funny that they are on in DCS it feels like cheating when I dial up an enemy airfield tacan to go attack it [emoji16][emoji16] Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    They normally use a PAR ( Precision Approach Radar) Hence my earlier comment as while the RAF and most use 200ft DH the USAF actually have 100ft DH PAR available if you are suitably qualified. The RN carriers used to have PAR on them when they had them. CAT 3 B approaches require an Autoland as many are no DH as do 3A approaches in the company I fly for, you only need to see a light to continue to land, in the case of a go around the aircraft will probably touchdown, it certainly will in a B777. I have never heard of a 3C but B777 is getting a little old now. I am flying with a retired F18 pilot next week so I will ask him [emoji16] as long as our rosters dont change.

  11. Very cool datalink will make for some really cool tactics. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    On a Cat 3B with zero dh you dont need to see a thing often the problem is the subsequent taxy. US military will so PAR's down to 100ft but not really applicable to DCS but then again I have yet to be on a multiplayer server that required an IFR approach. probably for good reason VFR is a lot more fun [emoji16].

  13. OK YOU ARE WINDING ME UP arent you[emoji16][emoji16][emoji16] Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
  14. Yep collective only I always intended on using the VKB pro. Guess I will just wait for the MCG Pro as it was fine with the kg12 just couldnt live with the lack of buttons. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
  15. On a technical note I have given up trying to set my Gunfighter Pro up for Helo flying as with the Warthog stick top I cant find a working combination of Springs and Friction, the Stick top appears to be too heavy. If anyone has a suggestion that works lmk, for the moment I am just waiting for the Pro to be released as i am sure that will do the job. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
  16. Looking great guys really likeing the original Cyrillic, guess I will be getting a pro with markings after all [emoji16][emoji16]. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
  17. Ok if we are gonna have a replica with labels lets keep them in the original Cyrillic as per the original. Dont really care what they say as we are all gonna bind controls for 15 ish different aircraft to the one stick top. Ps looks great by the way so labels or no labels dont delay it.

  18. If thats what they have then leave it , it was no big deal, but like real life the print will wear off and look a mess. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
  19. Personally I love the cross hatching but would get rid of the writing. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
  20. Yes you need to set it in the Rift. Your lenses you have had made will assume that you select the correct IPD in the rift . Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
  21. Question is will we be saying "Jester do some of that Rio shit" Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
  22. I realise its asking a lot but will we have a set of operating procedures that Jester works to so that we know when he will plan on locking a target and maybe even which target he is going to lock too. In that way we will know by when we will need to select a delayed lock and also what the standard sort plan is so I know when I need to tell him which target to sort to. I fly exclusively in VR so I am thinking I may have to get voice attack or something similar. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
  23. Can I hope the pre order will be available on the 21st Hong Kong time [emoji16][emoji16] Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
  24. Mine is great no problems whatsoever very smooth and precise. I started with pliers but it would not budge. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
  25. Is a very quick Youtube video of the 2 Sticks/Gymbals. I didn't do any editing it was very quickly made this morning as I am on Reserve right now. I will answer any questions when I on the ground. Cheers
