I also have Virpil but the CM3 base. Firstly check the virpil app and eliminate the deadzone that is set by default. It's small but noticeable in the Apache. Removing it helped a lot with small inputs needed for hovering.
I only fly the Apache right now, so I removed the cam profiles and completely loosened the spring, so the stick stays where I leave it. Complete game changer and I mainly "trim" now to help the SCAS stay "unsaturated".

I'm not sure if George is "smart" enough to do this. Might be faster to just jump into the CPG seat and fire the salvo yourself.
George is a good start but needs further development e.g. auto threat detection and priorisation.

Agree that radio chatter and good voice acting is what makes a SM really good for me. Ideally the triggers are reliable but understand that this is often outside the control of the mission designers.

I think this happens in real life as well. Software etc gets updated and pilots have to "learn" a new workflow.

in theory the F-16 should be better, but I find the Hornet to be easier to dog fight in. Something about the high alpha / one circle fight seems to be resonate better with me.

This is exceeding my expectations. Incredible detail.

My favorite map is getting better. Thanks for the continued improvements.

Dear DCS community,
after slowly approaching the age of 50 and having worked a lot for the last years (and therefore always had too little time to fly), in spring I fulfil myself a dream and get a motion platform. I had already been able to test it at the manufacturer's, and in combination with VR glasses it is the ultimate flying experience...
In preparation for this, I am now thinking about upgrading or replacing my somewhat outdated but still good PC with a new one.
...
Last but not least, does an upgrade from 32GB to 64GB RAM with DCS still bring a noticeable increase in performance?
Thank you very much in advance for your feedback and support!
Cheers, MadMonty
Hi Monty,
Can you share some information about the motion platform? I'd eventually like to get this as well - it would be a nice addition to VR.
Many thanks,
Derek

Many thanks. These guides are very helpful.

Don't think you're missing anything, but not sure why you need to start up a new aircraft either.
Can't you switch your radio to "rearm and refuel" and then "request takeoff" to use the same again, or am I missing something?
I don't think you're missing anything. This is precisely what I do if I want to take off from the carrier again.
I would be nice to have the yellow shirts direct you to a parking spot but I can also understand why this is quite hard to implement. At any rate, I'd like them to prioritize the frame rate hit that the supercarrier has.

I thought Flaps are in half position rather than full. I could be wrong though.

Just another vote for Deka to make a '00 era Redfor multi-role fighter. Similarly happy to pay whatever it takes.
-
This is something that I wish ED would get on top of. It's such a simple thing to do and would only help them show us all the good work they are doing.

Community Managers...Can you please ask when the Stable version of 2.5.6 will be done?
I really would like them to get back into that groove of open beta...fixes the bugs...and release to stable. it's been 2 months
I'd say they would want to bed down the issues already identified. Hard to put a time frame out on this, especially with another patch coming next week and release of A-10C II. I understand your frustration, but on the bright side, the stable version should be in good condition when it finally gets released.

Download working too!

I can AAR in the Hornet, which is the only module I'm playing these days.

I have to say, it makes me chuckle to see people cop this attitude of superiority about cold vs hot starts. Putting aside the fact that this is just a video game and it doesn't make sense to even have an opinion about how someone else plays it... think about the basic premise: supposedly, dumb noobs don't have the skills to perform a cold start, and only experienced make-believe fighter pilots can do it.
... Except, performing a cold start is literally the easiest thing one could do with one of these aircraft. It's nothing but flipping a series of switches in the correct order. In every jet I've ever flown, that was where training started, because any idiot could do that ;).
Because it's the easiest, it's also the least interesting task to perform in the game, so why would you fault people for wanting to save a few minutes by skipping to more challenging stuff? This attitude has never made sense to me in the sim world...
I hear you on this. I'm a time crunched gamer; once I've done it a cold start a few times, it is somewhat monotonous and I prefer to get into the flying. If you are going to do a cold start, then you should also hit F2 and do a walkaround as well :)
Having said that, for most missions it seems to have cold start as default; in which case I use the automated start and use the time to prep for the mission.

I'm also on VR (Reverb) with a 2070 Super. My FPS ranges between 25-40 on the Supercarrier. and around 45-55 FPS in the air. Deduct around 5 FPS for multiplayer. Probably the worst thing is the occasional stutter. When I don't use the VR, the FPS is consistently 100-120 with almost no stuttering.
While I don't expect to ever get to 100-120 FPS in VR, I do wonder if it is possible that the new RTX30 series will get me an extra 10-15 FPS plus reduce (but not eliminate) some of the stutters.
Fingers crossed.

Assuming that your weight is below the maximum, just trim it out and fly the AoA as you would normally.
-
It's annoying that there isn't a key command that allows us to back up / or have a push back. Hopefully something will come evenutally.

Superb work. Thank you.

Thank you

Glad we could help!
