  1. It's all in the title, noob mistake. I was trying to fix a kneeboard builder issue and deleted the entire terrain folder by accident - not in recycle bin and the uninstaller does not show a 'fix' mode - any way to recover or download the terrain files without uninstalling and reinstalling the whole thing? Thanks 'Gimp

    DCS: F-5E!

    Just joined the DCS family and am starting with the F-5E from Belsimtek and must start off by saying wow. I am a long time FSX: Acceleration user and am a licensed pilot and aircraft owner and so far I am very impressed with DCS and the F-5E. My 1987 Yakovlev Yak-52 is a tribute to the US Navy's VFC-13 Saints Adversary Squadron - I fly it in formation, aerobatics, formation aerobatics and will be taking up BFM and ACM training this Spring if I can get my knee to recover (ACL surgery last year, slow coming back). I have several study-level simulators in FSX and so far the F-5E stands up pretty well by comparison. Once I get a full HOTAS set up (I dual-stick in Star Citizen, and use T16000.M in FSX, thinking about adding Thrustmaster TWCS) I think this will be a very immersive and fun setup (TrackIR 5). Have been watching all the excellent videos on the Youtubes (Ralfidude and Bunyap especially) and have been grabbing all the great community produced training aids as well. See y'all out there, check six. 'Gimp
  3. Yak-52 New DCS flier here, currently learning the F-5E Tiger II (awesome fun). Will be interesting to see the Yak-52 in DCS, as I own one in real life - fly it in aerobatics, formation, and formation aerobatics. Video below is from the Fall, 1st 2 elements are me flying right and left wing during formation loops (I normally lead), 3rd sequence is flying line abreast (hard), 4th is a multi-figure airshow sequence with me as lead, you can see wingmen in formation mirrors. The -52 is an excellent sportplane, an effective trainer, affordable, easy to maintain, tough as nails, and the sound from the Vedenyev M-14P is unbeatable. 'Gimp
