Mezelf

I bought it after the pre-order window and used bonus points to reduce the price down to €55. I buy a lot of modules... But I would've paid €100 gladly if they asked me to, because looking at the Hornet I know they'll deliver. I also know that it won't be more expensive 1 year from now. There comes a point where "constructive criticism" stops being constructive. The Viper is ED's most important module from a mass appeal standpoint, and they know it. Everything's that's missing right now is on their to-do list. They've stated they are working on them as fast as they can. Don't ask them to work faster than they can while simultaneously expecting them to keep the highest standards in the simulation industry. They are not Ubisoft with thousands of employees. When you only focus on what's missing, it's easy to lose appreciation for what they've accomplished: The F16C is in DCS, and it's being developed by ED. And it's flyable. I don't know about you, but I'm an aviation enthousiast and Viper fan not because I'm in love with bombing or AMRAAMs but because I love the act of flying. It flies, it flies well, it might fly even better in the future, and everything else is just extra to me.

The real life one seems horizontally stretched. Are we sure this is exactly how it would be projected in the real one?

Scenario 1 ED releases TWS for Hornet first. Viper owners: the Viper needs more features! so unfinished! buyer's remorse! Scenario 2 ED releases TWS for Viper first. Hornet owners: TWS was the most important feature missing from the Hornet! so unfinished! buyer's remorse! Scenario 3 ED releases TWS for both modules at the same time. Viper owners: why did you hold back TWS when it was easier to implement for Viper than for Hornet? is Hornet getting special treatment? Hornet: why did it only take a few weeks to develop TWS for Viper when it tooks years for Hornet? is Viper getting special treatment? The only winning move is not to play

Notice how in free-flight mode, he never went up to 9G and only momentarily up to 8G. Even though he proved he can do 9G just moment before, when he himself is in control he doesn't seek it out. Everyone's taking this video as justification for upping the sustained G-tolerance for the "average DCS pilot", instead of acknowledging it as an extraordinary accomplishment that should not be extrapolated to all fighter pilots.

I can't see the original post image but I'm voting for this one

Wow that's a really well-made video. I like how you confront ILya on VKB's focus on more buttons over FFB. Let's hope something comes from this. But, I remember my Logitech 3D Pro joystick with FFB. After a few years the stick started to vibrate in neutral position, even I wasn't using it, and soon after the FFB mechanism broke. I bet that many joystick and HOTAS engineers have decided the FFB system introduces too high risk for joystick breakage. After all, with FFB you're applying more force on the stick than you would without FFB. More input force + more breakable parts = more broken joysticks

Anyone have experience playing DCS on a Ryzen CPU? Specifically from the 3000 series. I need a new CPU (and system) and I was looking towards Ryzen because I don't want to support intel anymore, but I only really use computers for gaming. From what I've read DCS (and also literally all other games) prefers core speed over multiple cores and threads. AMD seems more consumer friendly, and they're cheaper and more value for the money, but what's the point of getting Ryzen if most developers optimize for intel instead?

I'm also experiencing quite a deadzone with a desk-mounted TM Warthog without extension. I guess I'll have to play around with the curves like demonstrated by OP.

Don't turn the volume down, because you'll also lose the audio from the auditory warnings. Just set the COMM 1 and COMM 2 mode knobs to SQL (squelch). I'm pretty sure this isn't even a bug. The official F16C/D checklist states that it should be set to SQL during the cockpit interior check, before the start-up. I guess what ED could do is either set it on SQL by default, or include it in the start-up checklist.

I just hit the stopwatch in the cockpit.

Man I'm looking forward to slowly learning the Viper with a drip feed of new features and improvements released over the next few years. From a student standpoint it's so much better just sticking to the basics until they've been mastered before even touching advanced concepts such as laser-guided bombing, ground radar, TGP, etc. My only criticism so far is the absence of a landing training mission. Start-up, taxi, take off... Fly forever?? In any case, great work ED!

I've been holding off on the Viper because the last module I bought from Heatblur is unplayable for me for performance reasons (because my hardware is pretty dated). What module would you compare this one to, in term of performance? Is it closer to Tomcat, closer to Viggen, or closer to Hornet? My specs: i5 2500k @ 3.3 GHz 16Gb RAM GeForce GTX 970 Samsung SSD 850 EVO 500Gb

About 20 years ago, my parents gave me this as I was recovering in the hospital from a broken wrist. I was about 10 at the time, so I've been in love with the Viper ever since I was a little boy. :pilotfly: This and MSFS98 are what made me want to become a pilot. This better be good, ED! Exact 3 jaar geleden heb ik u verloren. Vaarwel, papa.

This fixed it for me as well, thank you!

Tested on Persian Gulf and Normandy, with and without Marks: no CTD Tested on stable 2.5.5.35461

I'm able to guarantee a crash to desktop on the Nevada map whenever I try to change data cartridge with LCTRL+LALT+C. At first I thought putting Marks on the F10 map caused this, but I tried it without putting Marks and it crashed just the same. It's fine on Caucasus. Haven't tested on PG or Normandy.

yeah whoever told you that F14 had the same performance impact as F/A 18 was lying his ass off. the Tomcat is my favorite jet module so far, but the performance has pushed me to play other games instead.

Online? Not really. Offline? Who can say. I myself fly those maps all the time. I wish performance was more even across all maps. If I could delete Dubai from the map so I don't have to deal with stutters and dibs every time I get close to it I'd fly the PG map way more.

+1 Just had to close the game via Task Manager after I made a map marker (Nevada map) and couldn't return to the plane, or quit to menu, or do anything except stay in the F10 map. At some point even my plane disappeared off the map, and considering this was just after take-off it's possible I had just crashed.

I have the Check command bound to Spacebar. When performing the Assisted Start with Jester reading out the checklist, after he calls for the "com check" (the very first item), you're supposed to enter the radial menu and select Loud and clear. However, if you have the Check command bound to a key, using it to answer the com check will continue the checklist, BUT it will prevent Jester from executing his own procedures for start-up. So when he's normally supposed to be entering the coordinates and activating the UHF/VHF radio, he seems to do nothing. I only discovered this the second time after completing the start-up checklist and discovering I was not aligned, the UHF/VHF radio was off and the TID repeater was black. I entered the Jester radial menu and discovered that I could select Loud and clear, and as soon as I did he started executing his start-up procedures and inputting the coordinates, long after the Assisted Start checklist was completed. Normally this shouldn't happen because the Check command is replaced by Loud and clear in the radial menu, but it appears using the keybind for Check bypasses this. Not a huge problem I guess, but can cause confusion. If needed be I'll post a screenshot for proof.

is there a way to reboot the system/computer so that you can activate NWS again if you've accidentally pulled the LDG gear release? it's so easy to accidentally click the wrong thing, and even with differential braking AND throttle, the Tomcat just does not want to turn on the ground without NWS.

It's pretty clear what's wrong, though. The hitbox for the switch is moving into the hitbox for the cover. I have the same problem with the EMER FLT HYD switch, though it's moderately easier to get into a good angle to find the switch hitbox again compared to the hydraulic transfer pump switch. The only solutions I can realistically see is either extending the switch hitbox so that it doesn't get covered by the safety cover, or by giving us keybindings for the switch. Or both. I tried to take a screenshot of my in-game cursor position and mouse-over activation into green clickable cursor, but Geforce Experience auto hides the in-game cursor. If you watch these screenshots closely though, you'll see how the hitbox has moved about 3 milimeters up.

What plane should I try to master to impress all the ladies with my underdoggyness? Tiger, Albatross, Fishbed,... I have everything except most WWII birds, Hawk, C-101, Farmer, Yak 52 and Christen Eagle. Or should I just go for Hornet? So far I have 0 kills online.

Sounds like something I want to do, but unfortunately I work weekends so I'd never be able to participate in the sunday missions. Are there ever missions on weekdays? Is there a minimum requirement for missions participated in per month/year?
