It is directly opposite Gameron Petro Industry Complex, and may well be part of it. -edit-; Beat me to it, but yes I suspect that the site we're looking at is storage for the GPIC.

With it trimmed correctly, you will not need to touch the stick at all during launch, it'll have nose up bias, take the stick again once the nose has settled.

Don't know, but here it is; 27°22'52.8"N 56°19'53.9"E 40RDR34012885

You mean high-gain steering? It's a bind, and the button is typically on the control column.

That'd be quite an undertaking, though I guess there's nothing stopping someone from making that themselves and uploading it to the user repository. Having a 16:9 monitor, I've not felt the need for a landscape manual, that'd be rather odd - in my humble opinion, specifically due to portrait kneeboards, any pages one would want can be printed for a board without modification, just as it is with other modules. Perhaps as a workaround one could open the manual .pdf with opposing pages open, as that'd occupy a 16:9 quite well.

Just to revisit this after having done some carrier launches, despite not having VR etc; I really feel they nailed it. Spot on, folks!

About 15-20 FPS on the carrier, >50 FPS when airborne. Most settings on high, extreme view distance, no AA within DCS, MFAA set on Nvidia control panel. Two X5675 Xeons, GTX 1050 Ti. I understand the FPS drop is due to the static aircraft, and a known/reported issue.

F-14 with human RIO would be fantastic, if I can find the time; I do not mind circuit bashing down an airframe and exploring all aspects of a new frame. Though for me it can tend to be all-or-nothing. I fly GA civi' in my spare time.

The whole idea of stable to beta is a programmatic one, you have concurrent releases running, one has known stable patches applied, the other has unknown proposed patches running, the latter is an unknown/untested and by running it you are accepting that you have become a tester. This is/was intended as the tradition and so people often make the decision to run beta to get the latest patches, without realising that they're potentially jumping the gun. Use Beta at your peril, enjoy whatever it brings for sure, but it is there as a test-bed. It could change.

I'd noticed that knob dialling with the mouse requires - at least for me - large movements of the mouse, which I found tolerable, but perhaps a little unnecessary, as when doing this with ED's new module (F-18) it is for me; far more pleasant, perhaps this is dictated by input resolution so difficult to get right. If this is not just my own experience; I'd love for the knobs to rotate at a slightly faster rate with mouse-dragging.

Coupled with TrackIR for aiming, it makes for a rather unique experience, really quite jolly.

In that vein, could one have an audio file - of an arbitrary length - play on a given frequency, like a broadcast, only you'd need to tune your radio into the correct freq' to hear it? The idea being that one could have a faux radio station playing on whatever, but not disturb anyone unless they chose to tune into it? Single and MP.

It's an interesting talk, he does propose a fix though and done as a software patch. Thanks for sharing.

No problem, even though it sounds like you're using it only for simming, just in-case; I'd encourage you to get the latest edition, unless of course cost is of a concern and you're only using for flight sims, as practices and procedures change over time etc. As for online simulation squadrons, I am unable to recommend one, as I personally do not belong to any; currently I don't have time to make that kind of commitment.

I don't know about that one, but I was tasked with memorising the number 1 book off the bat when I first started, The Air Pilots Manual, which covers the basics, with patterns and so on, so it seems quite similar. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Air-Pilots-Manual-Flying-Training/dp/1843360640 And yes, seconded; not coming in on some lengthy finals and instead flying the circuit; affords you the opportunity to clear the airfield/get a picture of what's going on, the done thing at uncontrolled airfields, which is especially useful on Blue Flag due to regulars not being on radio, or not using radio.

To throw a spanner into the works; I bought the SA342 module and found that quite manageable - using CH full HOTAS set - I haven't flown any of the other rotary-wing modules, yet.

Not trying to be a smartarse, as I too would like to see some extra features on the kneeboard, but until I even knew that there was a kneeboard in-game at all; I just grabbed my actual one and used that, though perhaps it's a bit unfair to expect people to print out manual and pocket checklist pages (writing things down with games like it's the 1980s again, having the paper part there on ones own knee meant I could write on it and all that good stuff.

If it's not down to this option, then I seem to recall another thread where someone had black mirrors due to MSAA being at some particular setting, I've not confirmed this.

Another great resource, is Skyvector, hadn't used this in years so glad to see it's still around; https://skyvector.com/?ll=25.875741,55.032995&chart=301&zoom=7

There is ground clutter, too, rocks and possibly shrubs and so forth that may add to overhead though of course we see that with Caucasus which handles it well. Pure speculation; I think if there's any optimization to be done, it'd be done after the missing airports, airbases and so on have been added. At least that's the general workflow with building models and such.

Agreed, don't do that. I feel a line needs to be drawn somewhere, else the thin end of a wedge gets knocked in. Make a mod for sure, but don't taint the main module.

You fly by AoA, obey the LSO, follow the ball. As for once on deck; I believe it's SOP to go full power once the wheels touch the deck, regardless of whether you think you caught a cable; then back to idle, following the instructions from an Air Marshall.
