Hi Malexx thanks for your work, could you possibly add a modfier button to the reset button so that i would trim with button 3 and use my modifier and button 3 to reset the trim? I got used to use modifiers within dcs in that way. Lock with a button, modifier with same button to unlock. Thanks in advance.

I went from a x52 to a t16000 complete set 2 years ago and my first impression was that the 16000 is so much better overall except the lack of buttons. But i use the 3 buttons on the throttle as modifiers. If you really wanna do an upgrade keep the throttle and go for vkb or virpil, since the resolution of the stick is the same as the warthog its to much money for a different grip/button layout. But just my opinion. I wanna get a vkb gunfighter but i still don't know if i should buy one or wait till the mk 3 arrives.

I use all 3 pushbuttons on the throttle as modifiers. The 2 on the front of the throttle work also with the hats on the throttle, the thumb button on the other side i use only as a modifier for the stick buttons and hat switch. You can bind nearly all important things with those 3 modifiers and you can also use 2 modifiers at the same time for a different input on the same switch like shift and alt or shift and ctrl. If you are going to mount your throttle, you can also use a afterburner detent with 2 velcro stripes. Link for the little mod is in my signature.

You can also use open track with the aruco tracker which is a printed code u attach to a hat or your headphones and it tracks the marker instead of your face.

I got the same problem, but i use the rocker for zoom. Usually WD40 gets rid of it for a couple of days. You can try to clean it or get a better/more durable pot instead.

If ED would set a real fov for every plane 99% of the complaints would be that people won't be able to see anything because everything is zoomed in too much. Zooming has nothing to do with using binoculars, it's just a compensation because nobody is sitting 1m away from a 75" screen to get the proper dimensions like in reality. And for sure there needs to be some solution because on 1080 resolution i can see the dots 15-20km away but in 4k i have trouble spotting them in 5km distance. But i rather use 4k and no AA and be on a disadvantage than going back to 1080 just to see the enemy sooner. And there is a padlock function for every aircraft in the controls section of it. You can set up any key or combination like with everything else, some people report that its also overwriting the tir device. So you could fly around with tir and as soon as u hit padlock in the dogfight your view is focused on the enemy bogey.

Would be a really good addition as a support/paratrooper/capture plane in a lot of multiplayer scenarios.

You will not regret the forcefeel seat. For me its the best things in terms of immersion. I could fly with mouse and keyboard and still had the feeling to be sitting in an aircraft or race car. The only thing which could top the forcefeel seat is bergisons g-seat. But that one is on another budget level and not in production for now. The only problem you will run into is, you will not fly or race something without a proper support for it. :D

Around 0:29 there is a quick and nice solution on this rig to minimize movement. There are many different ways and options to utilize that kind of thing.

As an example the MiG-19P release in open beta standalone took place at the beginning of march. And it took like a month to get it into stable and also on steam. According to DCS World weekend news. MiG-19P beta release: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3817576&postcount=185 MiG-19P Steam release: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3872233&postcount=190 But except for the delay in releases there is no difference which version you run except that you can't mix the modules you bought on steam and standalone. If you already have all your modules in steam keep it there and buy new ones there. Except you have enough money left to support ed than buy it again in the standalone version. :)

Since you get a new a new airplane on every mission start it's completely obsolete for me to perform virtual tests. I know its new and it will function properly. I am old enough to know that i will never be able to fly one of those aircraft. No need to learn and perform obsolete tests for me in my spare time which is not quite much. Yes there is no real need for it, but if you wanna progress in some way you will learn whats important for you in different situations. The start up procedure is something i learn at the end of my modules, at the time when i think i am ready to fly on a server. And in singleplayer there are no consequences so far, you die, fly again, you didn't manage to complete the given task, fly again, you killed a friendly, fly again. When you limit the lives of your virtual pilot like some servers do, then you have to face some consequences if you do stupid things. And people not knowing anything are hardly a threat to pilots who know their business even a little bit.

Had the same problem with 2 other modules at different times and it was always fixed with a dcs repair for me.

For me it seems that the F-14 is not physically attached to the shuttle because when the deck sliding starts to happen, i could observe that the Launch Bar icon on the caution panel also starts to come on and off. It seems to me that the aircraft is sliding out of the shuttle area even if you are already hooked. My solution to the problem is that i observe the caution panel for the Launch Bar to light up again and hit salute as quickly as possible.

Sorry this is one of that really stupid ideas. I don't wanna wait 20-30 minutes to get my bird refueled and rearmed when i have just 2-3 hours to fly on an evening. Then you get your bird damaged make it back to the base and wait the next couple of days till your bird is repaired without flying it? And what's the problem with an autostart button? As far as i know you are much faster if you know the procedure and skip all the (virtual) unnecessary test buttons. And i don't see the kneeboard markings as a cheat because its only an advantage in the early jets and warbirds. Everything else has a navigation system where your predefined flightplan is already programmed.

You could also consider the l-39 or another training aircraft as a start position, you have the one without weapons at all and are focused on learning the basics. I was around 9 or 10 years old when i discovered f16 combat pilot on the amiga and was so damn hooked on it. I was fascinated by the realism you got there, getting hit and loosing displays, but it was a very hard and steep learning curve for me since English isn't my native language and i didn't know a lot of words back then. Took some time till i remembered the different clicks to get into the cockpit. :)

:megalol:

Take FC3, alot of different aircraft like attackers and fighters, one carrier module the su33 and a lot of content like missions and campaigns out of the box, with also a ton of user made missions and campaigns. You will also find a lot of mods like english cockpits for the russian birds and a lot of different liveries.

I learned to fly virtual airplanes with dawn patrol back in the days, which was a ww1 sim. Since then i only need like a couple of readouts from the plane like altitude, speed, direction heading and fuel. I don't need much more, for everybody who complains about the lack of seat of pants feel, get a realtus or jetseat. You could fly with the keyboard and be much more immersed than a guy without such a device and a fully build simpit.

One of the best april jokes i've ever experienced! Well done! And i can't stop laughing at those who try to threaten ed because the blackout feature looks like matrix code and is fully controllable like a normal blackout :D :D :D

+1 because i am not going to buy NTTR as i am not going to play red flag missions and campaigns.

I think the whole discussion is about getting documentation, a real bird and a couple of pilots who operated that bird. I can't speak for the ka-50, but every other redfor module we have is a warsaw pact/export model. I think it's a huge task for any developer to get their hands on a real bird of a special version which fit into dcs, get all the documentation and probably an ex-pilot who operated the aircraft and is willing to contribute his experience into the module.

You have to wait some time till the ingame browser is finished with pinging all the servers. At that point the refresh icon should become clickable.

I would love a random fail on the walkman, if you hit fast forward it will eat the tape! Maybe with an extra commentary from jester when it happened.

You only need one install of dcs with which you can switch between stable and open beta via a command prompt or skatezillas fabulous tool.

I have a different problem, i am hearing a lock sometimes even if i am not in the tomcat, nor in front of a computer and i still wanna pull the trigger. :(
