  1. There was an article written by an A-4 pilot who mentioned how sensitive the stick was in creating movement. You definitely have to be gentle with the stick, moreso than other planes. I've also read that most people think of pilots "yanking and banking" the stick, when in fact one needs much more finesse.
  2. So....you're trying to put the kneeboard in the mirrors?
  3. Before, you had open beta. After the update, you have DCS. Now everyone has DCS.
  4. Speaking of which....here's a website devoted to real-world A-4 stories, including a very tall pilot getting out of the plane via ejection....use Ctrl+F and search for "Skyhawk Tight Fit!"
  5. You wouldn't be compiling the mod + updates for everyone to re-download....you'd be compiling them for new players who are interested, but perhaps don't have the patience nor inclination to search out all updates, and then wonder "Is this all there is, or am I missing a hypothetical "205" update. Make things easier for people, you might see more getting the mod!
  6. I've seen BSG Viper builds, X-wings, and a few others...this is AWESOME! (Note: In spite of the word "homemade", this is an actual F-111C fuselage section being repaired/refurbished as authentically as possible)
  7. Incirlik has some incredible mountains to the east. Syria map has it! Mountains = TFR land! Set 200', hard ride, 700 mph...
  8. That, or the over-G damage may be cumulative...
  9. Hi, Right now, I've got a triple monitor setup ((1920x1080)* 3 = 5760x1080) and considering upgrading to a 34" curved monitor (3440x1440). It's 20% fewer pixels, so my system should be able to handle it, and I won't be annoyed by the bezels anymore (they're minimal anyway). Has anyone done this? Was it worth it? Should I know anything about this swap before ordering it? Thanks in advance!
  10. Seems easy enough to duplicate...10% fuel, no stores, low alt., max horizontal turn.
  11. Thank you! I've always perceived it to start out with "right low", probably because the R needle is lower than the left....but on that side of the gauge, "lower" means "more".
  12. Hi, discovered this over the past few times I tried cross-country in the F-5. Full internal fuel, take off get to altitude and after some distance (30 miles-ish) I notice the right tank still shows full, while left is decreasing. Flip the transfer switch to "right low" but after some more straight and level flying, the right tank still shows full while the left went down to half. This used to function properly about a month ago. Track file included. (Edit: transfer switch is thrown about 7:30 into the flight, by 10:00 it is clear that left is going down while right is not) Thanks! F5 Fuel Trf problem.trk
  13. I have and fly the F5 and F-16, and all maps. I haven't seen any stutters for these since 2.9 came out. Low level or high, all is good. FPS is between 60-90.
  14. What was your airspeed when it stalled? F-5's land around 145-160.
  15. Is the G-warm up actually effective in-game (better tolerance for high g maneuvers), or is it a "for the immersion" thing?
  16. Normally, only you can see the skin, but if anyone else has the plane and the skin, they'll see it also.
  17. These invites "expire in 7 days " Century Series https://discord.com/invite/PxwWQ3cK VSN https://discord.com/invite/j3v5MGDM
  18. There is an Iowa mod online. You'll have to google it, as I'm not home right now.
  19. Yes, most of the VSN mods are based on FC3. There is a VSN discord, as well as a "Century Series" discord, either one has the right people for you.
  20. I wonder if that's related to the "su-25 view shakes whenever airbrakes are out" bug...?
  21. I can imagine on start-up the radar goes out... pilot sends out a call for "redball" and maintenance comes tearing out to you, several techs jump out and start their maintenance stuff, panels open, ladders show up, and after 5-15 minutes the radar starts working again! And all the while the hostile aircraft are getting closer and closer....
