  1. I'm thinking that if you were in level flight with a 48° AOA, you would decelerate very quickly. Get the AOA down to 0 or close, that should help. (amateur DCS pilot here) :pilotfly:
  2. LOL! Sounds like a once-in-a-lifetime interview, reflected! Well done!
  3. Push Left pedal = plane angles left Push right pedal = plane angles right If you're trying to do a coordinated turn, watch the turn and bank indicator and "step on the ball". (If ball is to the left step on left pedal). Be gentle and just caress the pedals don't stomp on them. Adjust as needed as speed changes etc.
  4. It was a bear for me too, at first. SU-25T definitely requires slow and steady controlling. Remember, you're driving a heavy truck, not a Mazarati or even a Chevy sedan. Airbrakes ("B", not "W") work for me. I have mine slaved to a convenient button on the throttle and routinely use both to control speed ("one foot on the gas, one foot on the brake...I can't drive 555...")
  5. On "rotating clouds"....operating the SU-25T in Free Flight and performing an Immellman, I dive a bit at full throttle, ease back on the stick and as I pass 90^ vertical the clouds rotate like a disc on a pencil. It's a bit peculiar, is this part of the "known bug" issue?
  6. Sort of resembles an F-104 with the wingtip tanks. Hot l'il aircraft!
  7. Sometimes it's blocked by country...this is a BBC show.
  8. Back in the 80's this was da bomb! I've heard computer graphics in these kinds of displays are much better nowadays, they even have color!
  9. Shilkas are pretty lethal, one helo wouldn't stand a chance against "a group...in maximal alert." Try it when they're not so frisky. And maybe make it 1-v-1. After learning how to survive and conquer one, you can complicate things if you wish.
  10. Mid-80's I was stationed at MHAFB...There I was, just ambling over to the "Wagon Wheel Chuck Wagon" (chow hall, to some of you :music_whistling: ) when what did my wondering ears did hear, but a screaming pair of jet engines comin' 'round my left side! I chanced to look up just in time to see an F-14 standing on its right wing tip, beginning a climbing turn over the base at about 200' AGL! Close enough for me to get eyes on the pilot and RIO as they were looking at me! ...Or maybe they were watching the ground, I don't know. :pilotfly: And as they climbed out, accelerating the whole way in full AB I watched as their wings went into a beautiful delta shape...now I worked on the '111, and have seen swing wings before...but DAYUUUUUM that '14 got some sexy-appeal imho! :pilotfly:
  11. Put the settings to immortal, then hand it off to them. Maybe have a puke bucket discreetly nearby...
  12. Timing is everything...sometimes we win, sometimes we lose. That said, it doesn't hurt to ask!
  13. Ok, I have 3 monitors working in Win10, and have edited a copy of the "1screen" .lua...the instructions mention selecting the name in the "config" area in-game, but I don't see it. How do I select the modified copy? (The original is saved, btw) ETA: Got it...On the page with the various settings for terrain detail, clouds, etc there is a pull-down menu called "RESOLUTION" and that's where it was. :joystick: OMG...The view is SPECTACULAR, AND EVEN INDUCED VERY MILD VERTIGO!!! i LOVE IT!!1! :pilotfly: FWIW, fps went down to 40 (35 w/mirrors) but I didn't notice it.
  14. I am new to FPS gaming, but isn't 50+ pretty good for three monitors? (I get 150-180 with a single 1920x1080; I'm expecting about 50-60 with 3)
  15. Flying straight and level and alone in my world, I see between 130-180 FPS...mirrors drop that to about 120ish. I don't think I've ever seen less than 60. :pilotfly: My other two monitors should be here in the next couple of days...I will let you know how it turns out. Thanks!
  16. Here's the video card: Raydeon R9 380 4 gig memory 980 MHz Ports: 1 x DL-DVI-I 1 x DL-DVI-D 1 x HDMI 1 x DisplayPort 1.2 Multi-Monitor Support = 3 Max Resolution 4096 x 2160 <--(Does this mean I can't have 3 1920 x 1080 monitors?)
  17. Ok, I'm at work now but will post system specs when I get home. I *think* it has 3 video ports, two HDMI and one DVI. I got it about 6 months ago for DCS, so I imagine it's GTG.
  18. Quick n00b question: If I were to setup a 3x(1920x1080) monitor, but my video card only has 2 hdmi plug ins (iirc)...how would the third monitor hook up? I'm thinking a second video card?
  19. The SU25T is my first plane, I'd recommend it 100%. I have the English mod for the cockpit and the Russian "bitchin' Betty." It took me a few flights ("instant action/free flight") to be able to avoid ground collisions. YouTube has a number of really good flight basics videos (real flight school stuff, Cessna 150's etc...I learned how to get out of a spiral stall, and then how to NOT get in one in the firat place. Then do the later tutorials (1 and 2 are start-up, taxi, and then take off) Just remember, there are no stupid questions.
  20. Worn paint merely adds realism...on the planes I worked on (ef111), the only mint condition sticks and instrument panels seen were those which had been replaced with a 100% new from factory part. Nearly all parts from Supply were refurbished (not "refinished") and had mild to severe finish wear.
  21. A-4 and the A-7...my two favorite ground attack planes (childhood playground memories)!!!
  22. ..And then the view changes to just outside the pit, and pulls away...if you go "up" you can respawn in DCS, if you go "down" you respawn in a TRS-80 flight sim...
  23. New or old, A4 "pron" is always good! :D Thank you!
  24. Thank you Sryan! That is what I was looking for!
