treasure

thx Glide, ill cruise around there and see if i can find a good run

thx Gary, i just bought that map

Hi Guys, hope someone can point me in the right direction. looking for the best canyon run in DCS. after 1 not loaded with anti aircraft hardware, just so i can focus on fine tuning my joystick. i am new to dcs so if you are able to mention what map/airport to take off from and the heading to get there, that would be awesome. TIA

Firstly, video credit goes to growling sidewinder (JF17) and feisty (F15). i love watching growling sidewinder videos, truly inspiring videos showing mastery over his aircraft. In this video however GS gets lulled into a vertical fight where the F15 will win due to its superior thrust to weight ratio, it unpacks slowly, like watching a train smash in slow motion, the expectation make this a real nail biter, resulting in the inevitable coup de grace. From the drawn out suspense to the instant death had me falling off my seat in laughter. A cinematic masterpiece that would make even alfred hitchcock drool.

thanks Dave. apart from roll pitch and yaw and fire, i think my next group of controls i will setup will be zoom and trim. as a starter pack, what other controls would you include?

dual functions for every stick and throttle control? my head is spinning with just the thought of that. At this stage all i want is just the every basic set of controls that any self respecting pilots would want

thanks Ranger, thats a great template. will be very useful

Hi David, that package for import sounds sensational, how do i get my hands on them? lol having them like that just makes so much sense, i assume that pedal binding would not be included in the package

thanks heaps XtraChrisP, iam a bit of a technical person so ill definatly spreadsheet this exercise. i think the first thing ill do is to list all the commands i want to map, if its ok i might send that to you, you may see something that should be included.

thats a good way of doing it Frederf, if i end up doing that then ill record it all in a spreadsheet and make it available as a resource for others

Hi all just started with DCS. starting out with take-off of F15 from end of runway. using the thrustmaster warthog hotas and x56 pedals. i got the roll pitch and yaw up and running so i am up in the air :) at this stage i wont be buying any aircraft until i pretty much master the FC level i am looking for a suggested guide for assigning commands to the numerous buttons, switches and hats all over the place. i appreciate that different people prefer using different buttons for different functions, so i wont be suing anyone if i later discover something that suits me better. Perhaps such a resource is already here somewhere, if so, please can someone provide a link to it. otherwise, please share your setup if you feel comfortable. at this stage anything would be greatly appreciated, i have nothing to go by. Just need all the basic bread and butter commands and what works comfortably for you. When i am ready for a study level aircraft, well that will be another story. Also, in the controls setup each already assigned control has a text name (eg JoyB01), how can i find out what actual hardware switch/button that is? TIA

so this guy projects himself into the air using explosives, lands on top of a bomber, then uses an rpg to destroy a jet at long range. enjoy

hi, hope i am not being too blatant about my intended play style, but wondering which jet/s have the best combination of rate of climb and good turn radius.. TIA

Hi all, my TM hotas is on the way, as well as some pedals. i think i saw somewhere i should plug these 3 devices into a powered USB hub, is that true?, or is just a normal unpowered one ok? TIA

i have another video of another pilot doing this same thing in a prop fighter during WW2, so i am thinking that most planes should be able to do this, not just an F4, could be wrong though.

Hi brains trust attached is a video of a F4 pilot tumbling his aircraft during the vietnam war, i dont know if this manoeuvre has a name but its pretty spectacular, going to take a massive leap and say that if dcs physics are real to life this this manoeuvre should be able to be performed. the video gives instructions on how to do the tumble. be interested to know if anyone can do this. BTW, why did we never get an F4 Phantom jet, its so iconic. tumble.zip

pref jets, later jet versions the better

Hi All, i am looking for links to videos of gunplay only in dogfights. can anyone share? i always loved gunplay in dog-fighting in other games, but they have fizzled out, looking for a new game for ongoing, also, are there any dedicated servers for gunplay only? TIA

thanks Hells, dont mean to be ignorant, only joined a couple of days ago. where do i do a search for a ping?. my usual in game ping is 3 (thank you nbn) so i suppose i could also play on most asian servers too without having a large ping TIA

Hi All, looking for Squadrons/servers in Australian time zone, many servers listed, but i dont know what time zone they are in, any suggestions? TIA
