Yeah, the same SU-33. But what we are trying to do is use it with a US Super Carrier not a Russia one.

Yes I did but still couldn't figure out how to get it to spawn on the carrier. Maybe I was doing something wrong. I didn't try refueling yet.

Dunno where to put this so it's here. Does anyone want to review this laptop for use with DCS World for me? I want a 17.3" screen again (Like I used to have) and specs that will run DSC better than what I have now. Do you think this model in the link has all I need and how will it run DCS? Gigabyte AORUS 7- 17inch 144Hz Laptop with an Intel Core i7-9750H Processor, nVidia GTX 1660Ti Graphics, 16GB Ram, 512GB PCIe M.2 SSD + 1TB HDD Storage. 17.3” LG FHD 1920x1080 144Hz IPS Display NVIDIA® GeForce GTX™ 1660Ti GDDR6 6GB Memory - Samsung® DDR4 2666 16GBx1 Storage - Intel® 760p SSD 512GB PCIe M.2 + 1TB HD So it looks like it has one memory chip meaning I can add another to make 32gb if I want. I don't know much about graphics cards etc but it has higher number than the one I have now which is a GTX1050 Also, it doesn't say if the 1TB hard drive is SATA or not. Does it make a difference at this level or not? https://www.electronics.net.au/gigabyte-aorus-7-17-144hz-i7-gtx-1660ti-16gb-512gb I think it is the same laptop as in the link below https://www.gigabyte.com/Laptop/AORUS-7--Intel-9th-Gen#kf

I tried everything I could think of and can't program an Su33 to spawn from a US SuperCarrier. (But I can quite easily crash one on Supercarrier's deck while trying to land.)

Thia makes me think I will make a mission and try to have SU-33 take off from deck somewhere.

If it's a mission you made I would think that if you began by designating the USA and Russia as allies that you could get refueled at least but its only a guess.

yeah thanks....that helps! Also, I use DCS while seated on a sofa couch with a laptop on an fan cooled "Logitech N700 laptop desk" on my lap and my legs extended. So, I have the stick on the right side of me and the thruster with rudder on the left. It's a pretty dam comfortable position and I can't imagine being stuck at a desk. So I need something with a broad surface base and a low profile for using on the softer surface of the couch. So far the T.16000 after reading a ton of reviews it looks like it fits the bill. A Warthog is definitely out of the question because I want the rudders controled by my left hand. Does anyone know if the T.16000m is accurate enough for mid-air refueling?

yes...but here's the thing about that: It is the lowest quality used joystick that is the best. The Logitech Extreme 3D Pro....the second of the two I bought used. It beat the newer but used Thrustmaster Ace combatmaster 7! (The first Extreme 3D Pro was shite too.") It seems random!

Even if I could afford Warthog I wouldn't be able to use one due to restrictions on how and where I use DCS. CH product reviews say they are built well. But I'll probably never go higher than the T.16000. Because I don't sit at a desk.

When I am talking secong hand I'm talking second hand out of the "Goodwill" or St Vincent De Paul" stores. Or in the case of the Ace Combat 7 from a pawn shop. The strange thing is that the second Logitech Extreme 3D was the cheapest but it is better that all the others. I like the hybrid setup I am using for now except for the extra joystick not used that is still attached. I can't cut the wire that attaches it because it is the main power power supply wire. (The main power from the PC's USB goes through the Joystick first and then into the separate throttle and rudder hand console)

Well...I would I like to find out what the general consensus is of USED Thrustmaster Ace Combat 7 joysticks is ...because....I have had one of them that I bought used and also a USED Thrustmaster AfterBurner, after thinking they were a step-up from my previous USED Logitech Extreme 3D Pro. My Logitech Extreme 3D Pro, which was ALSO USED, was really hard to land any aircraft with. It felt too sensitive and unpredictable. It was ridiculous! Then I found the USED Thrustmaster AfterBurner. I liked the split controls and two hand approach very much. However, the joystick was almost as bad and as unpredictable as the Extreme 3D Pro. Ok....then I found the Thrustmaster Ace Combat 7 to replace that with. But the joystick part is also unpredictable no matter how I try to adjust the firmness or set it up in DCS. I was newer and a newer model but it is also USED. IN the meantime I had found another USED "Logitech Extreme 3D Pro" for $5. I thought it might come in handy for someone sometime. I didn't pull it out and try it till tonight though. Well........I hooked it up and opened up a Mission I have made with the SuperCarrier and a F-18 Hornet. It was a little awkward for me because I am used to using a left hand thruster and buttons as well. ....BUT.....it was NOT unpredictable and over sensitive like the first Logitech Extreme 3D Pro and I was able to much, much more easily control and land the F-18 on the deck. Now, this was also used but it was working much better than my more expensive and, also used, models....and better that the first Logitech Ex 3D Pro. I thought hmmm......what if I could find a thrust & console for my left hand that would work with this Logitech Ex 3D Pro? So....I plugged in the Thrustmaster Ace Combat 7 into a spare usb on my PC ......and what do you know....it worked with my Logitech Extreme 3D Pro. Both worked at the same time with a little mapping. I put the unneeded Thrustmaster Ace Combat 7 joystick part of the set up out of the way and used the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Joystick along with the left hand console/Thrust belonging to the Thrustmaster Ace Combat 7 which I hadn't put aside. Immediately I began flying steady and on the Ball all the way to the SuperCarrier Deck making pretty landings. I had the revelation that I had spent these last few years struggling with crappy controllers never knowing they were crappy and thinking that I was a crap pilot, till tonight. So, my question is - Is it an established fact that after a few years use these or almost all joysticks will become unusable and it is the luck of the draw if you ever buy one that lasts more than 5 years or so? And is this a reason why one should just forget about buying used joysticks in general? On that note: I feel like I have already been burned by Thrustmaster Ace Combat 7 joystick. I'd hate to buy a new one only to find out it was no better than the used one...or that it will also become crappy after a couple of years. Does anyone have any suggestions. At the moment, though unorthodox, the hybrid chimera I have jury-rigged, seems to work nice but eventually I'll want a proper rig.

Not that I am aware of...yet. Did you try the link I gave in the first post. I had hell making them so I could put the charts here in a post. I'm not very PC savvy. I ended up having to take screenshots of them from the link and then edit them in MS Paint as JPEGs. In any case, if right click on the images I posted and choose "open in a new tab" you will get a nice clear image.

So far, my best landings are all GRADE C It appears that "GRADE C" is one level above crashing on deck. I think the problem is in my stick. It's just far too unpredictable especially at low speeds. I found this explanation of LSO meanings. Scroll down a bit and you can see the graphs on this website. https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/Carrier_Air_Operations#Altitudes.2C_ranges_and_distances I cut and pasted the relevant bits below. It helped me, hope it helps someone else. Not sure if it adds anything to the SC manual but it looks pretty.

Провери, что у тебя последняя версия DCS.

The reason it wasn't on my PC is because I was looking on the PC which does not have the Super Carrier on it. The wrong Pc. lol! Im in the middle of switching PCs. Anyway, Ive now read the manual and it hasn't helped me concerning comms one tiny bit. Comms for the Super Carriers remain elusive.

Thanks...I been looking for that everywhere.

Strangely enough the devs have made this so that one actually can't see all of their directions from the cockpit. Particularly the one when the yellowshirt is under your aircraft and at night. And there are also a number of other, what appear to be, bugs in the system..... problems with radio freq not staying put, or even turning on.

Also there is no acknowledgment from Ground Crew after requesting launch. And the radio frequency can't be changed.

No.

OK I just figured it out. I had to gun the engines until the launch bar clicked in properly. Now they are signaling me I can rev the engines. ...I'll salute and go. Thanks!

And one more thing - ATC didn't even recognize that I had landed until after I requested a repair...... I didn't exist.

It's a mission I built to fly on. I can use easy radios if I want. I'm on deck right now half hooked up to the cat with the yellow shirts fussing under the aircraft. But I don't have any yellow shirts in front of me as if I am ready to actually launch. I dont think they can connect me to the cat but the blowback board is up behind me. Can't salute either. Ive been sitting here so long the sun has set and it will be a night flight and a case 3 recovery.. It wasn't supposed to be. Lucky I programmed the mission with a full moon. It just came up.

Did you have to run over any yellow shirts because they didn't get out of the way?

I am in the F-18. I tried with the canopy open all ready. But I need to know what the correct comms are when on approach to land or they wont score my landing.
