Well after a real rubbish start of the week for me yesterday, I must say today is looking a hell of a lot better. Appreciate Ed approval can take a while, and there might be an issue similar to the Mig19 delay. However whatever happens we now know she’s on final and about to call the ball. If I’m a betting man, I would say she’s landing mid March, but hopefully HB will let us know by end of week. One very very happy simmer here.

This is fantastic, thankyou

Maybe. :music_whistling::music_whistling:

Holy smeg, NOW that’s what I call an update. Front seat stuff who cares, Now THIS is a simmers wet dream seat. I honestly cannot wait to start learning this. I’m in complete Awe at those guys who actually worked and operated this in real life and the heat of battle. Truly mind blowing.

:megalol::megalol::megalol: Now that sir is a fantastic idea, she would love it.

Hi guys, I’m currently reading a book Before Topgun Days, which is about RIO training on the F14. It’s a spectacular read, although I can’t help but think, how on Earth are WE sim Rios going to learn the AWG9 correctly. It sounds such a complex piece of kit that requires a lot of knowledge and Mathematical ability to use correctly, that I can’t help but feel that many of us may be out of our depth trying to learn it, not to mention learning all the standard startup checks and routine flight systems that we will need to memorise. Does anyone know of any training materials avalible that might help us learn these systems. I’ve already downloaded the Natops and pocket checklist for the F14, so I’m reading those and taking notes, which will assist in memorising the checklists but I think learning the AWG9 is gonna be in another league. Obviously time spent on the sim itself will help, but sadly I’m rather restricted in the time I can actually fly, so I’m looking for a way to do it on a tablet while I have a free moment at work or when I’m looking after my daughter downstairs. If Heatblur are watching, a IPad AWG9 Training app would work well guys, hint hint. ;) Am I the only one concerned about how I’m gonna learn this new radar so I can be a effective Rio?

Well you may be right, BUT with the amount of items that can go wrong with this aircraft modelled. That approach may come back and bite you. I wouldnt be surprised if HeatBlur has thought of this and put in things to catch the unwary.

Easy, pull up the manual on my iPad, load up DCS and get head down in the Rios seat learning that darn impressive radar system. Hell I’ve been flying different aircraft for over a decade on DCS, I’m really looking forward to learning a new aviation role despite knowing it’s gonna take a long time to become proficient at it.

Yes I do. Thanks will give that a try.

Sadly repair didn’t work. HUD and the centre map mfd is fine, but the left and right one. Forget it. I’ve tried adjusting the FD init.lua file to adjust line size but still not good.

Hi guys, just wondering if anyone else is having issues reading the MFDs while in VR. The entire aircraft cockpit is fairly crisp and readable apart from when i turn the MFDs on. All the text shows as just green boxes, almost like im wearing NFGs at night and the brightness is much too high. Ive looked around and cant see anyone else who seems to be having the same issue. Can anyone hwlp, i would love to use the F18 in VR but i cant due to not having operational mfds. Graphical wise, i have everything on max. and the Vr level set at 1.7

Yep, downloaded and installed now.

Hi guys, I’m just wondering how everyone gets weather patterns into their sims, and MP missions. When I look at mission page, I see we have a lot of choices when it’s comes to weather, but to be perfectly honest the fact their are so many choices confuses the hell out of me. So I tend to just leave that section alone, which obviously means I very rarely get to experience weather in the sim. So I was thinking how are you guys using it? Is there a way to input real world weather into the sim, similar to P3D and Xplane which would be amazing if there is, or a simple way to get realistic looking weather into our missions, without adjusting multiple layers, directions, speeds etc all over the map.

Can confirm I had the issue today while flying multiplayer using the Mav Fs on the outboard pilons. As stated, weapons fired off and recognised as used on stores page, but visual model still showing on the pilons. The Mav Es on the Inbound worked as normal.

Wow, that sounds great. Could you please let us know where u got it from? Edit, all sorted found one on Shapeways.

Thankyou mate, will try deleting that tomorrow evening when I finally get home from work. Much appreciated

Hi guys, just a quick one. In the A10c my FOV is completly shot, everything is very narrow and the cockpit is only in centre of the screen with a huge amounts of the side view showing on screen. All other aircraft display perfectly fine, it’s just the A10C that has this issue. Has anyone got any ideas on how I can reset the A10c view and get it back to normal please. I enclose some photos below to show the issue.

Damn that radar looks amazing, might have to load her up and see if I can remember how to use her. Fantastic work. Well done guys

Fantastic news, thankyou. Will get it downloaded and installed ready for team to fly tonight.

Would this be suitable for 3 newby pilots leaning coop. We all have harriers, A10s, F18s and All Helos? Looking for a 3 ship F18 coop to practise our tactics and learning the aircraft systems and weaponary.

It is on the DCS store under modules, but only the standalone version, if you want a T-shirt or 2 x licences then get it via heatblur store and it gives you advice on how to bind it to your account in DCs. However the binding account isn’t working at mo, so if you get from heatblur you will have to wait a little like the rest of us before binding it to your normal account

Sorry mate, have exactly the same issue and again the Viggin is mentioned on my order as well. Just gonna hang off binding it, until we get told issue is sorted

Woohoo that video was stunning. 1 Tomcat and T shirt preordered. Now just have to wait till end of year.

Hi Guys, Im just wondering if you have any update regarding the multicrew aspect of this module, and whether or not we are likely to see it with the early access, or if its a case of waiting for the full release. Im sure myself as many others out there, are looking forward to the multicrew aspect of operating a F14 which is a massive draw on the F14, but Sorry if ive missed it but i cant recall seeing any info on when the MP side of this aircraft will be released. It would be a crying shame if we ended up in the same predictament as us Huey pilots, still waiting for the promised multicrew update years after release.
