ah, the "break" where the flaps switch is allows the panel to be bent around the throttle levers? thanks

Do the throttle levers detach at the bottom or will the grips need to be removed, in order to swap the panels?

The "improvements in game" with the import f10 option, will only be seen once you have added the new f10 menu commands to the VA profile, using the FINISH steps described above. Unless you do that, you would need to continue to use the 'options' command and select from the menu(s) displayed. As for aliases, you can add those using the edit tab, but would need to use the FINISH steps to make them available to VA.

So is "auto-LASING" going to be just a latch, on the trigger, or will the LASER just activate when the bomb drops or at a time before impact? By the way, the predictive text on my iPad really does not want you to type auto-Lasing without a battle

It's very likely, if not certain, to be just in OB.

Maybe at 0:53, when the view moves up and two aircraft fly over. My eyes and aircraft ID skills aren't good enough to see/hear what they are, but I'm guessing the OP thinks they might be F15Es.

it's now moved to Oct 3rd. it gets better

It's released on Friday (now Thursday, even better) \o/

which means that the F16 Viper will download into our hangars on Friday (Thursday now = even better) YYYYEEEESSSS!!!!!!

Friday release \o/\o/\o/ https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=4053094&postcount=17 Edit: it gets better, it's now Thursday

Hopefully by the end of this week. Well I can at least hope. ;)

thanks for that @mvsgas. Now all we need is the aircraft and we're good to go. :)

We can only guess about the curve for the upcoming F-16 Viper, unless of course, somebody knows different. :)

I'd guess that if ED did decide to allow finger tracking, they would probably implement it by simulating mouse input, which would mean that it wouldn't need to be implemented for each and every cockpit individually. However, like I said above, I don't expect that this finger tracking will be accurate enough to cope with the complexity and proximity of the many controls in the cockpit. Apparently it may not be that much more powerful than Leap Motion already is but it might still work well alongside PointCTRL.

So do you think that it could sense WoW and adjust the idle thrust accordingly, without having to throttle up and down again?

With the hand and finger tracking that Oculus is developing for the Quest, and possibly the Rift S, it will be interesting to see how PointCTRL works alongside that. I don't think that the finger tracking will be accurate enough for a DCS cockpit, but the hand images might be useful when used with PointCTRL. Also, I wouldn't have expected that the Quest, with the Quest Link, would be useable for flying DCS, but it would appear that its performance might be better-than-expected, so I guess we will see.

Is the viper like the hornet in that is has higher thrust setting for flight idle than it does for ground idle or are they the same? On the new ILS landing video, Wags cuts the throttle before touchdown, which got me wondering.

There are two similarly named sets of controls, one with the TDC abbreviation and one with the expanded name. One would let you assign and the other wouldn't, so you possibly just selected the right one, with the full names, on the second occasion.

There are other aircraft? ;)

does the f16 have a flap switch?

It looks like that "box will look empty" bug in Voice Attack might have been corrected. \o/

Does assigning deadzones on that screen somehow reprogramme the joystick hardware or, perhaps more likely, does TARGET need to be running for the specified deadzones to be active, with no deadzones if it isn't?

I think that for this thread, the video is likely to be 'preaching to e converted', but although I love the use of voice for radio comms, with ATC, JTAC, RIO, ground crew and other AI, especially in VR, I'm not overly keen on using it for selecting controls, as for me, it destroys the realism. I don't mind using it in Elite Dangerous, as you are effectively telling a computer to carry out the commands, but as none of the aircraft in DCS comes with such a feature, I'd rather press the button(s) or flick the switch(es) myself

I'm usually fine on the initial pass of the carrier and the break, the easy bits, but it is the transition to on-speed and the final turn into the groove where it all goes pear-shaped. I suspect that it is my clumsy throttle control that is where I need to concentrate and that once I get the transition to on-speed right, the remainder of the recovery would become far more easy. My current max score is 60, but the norm is usually in the low 50s.

Very nice and you deserve your beer. Here's an idea, have a few, try another recovery and then you would know what mine look like. ;)
