That’s because they are adversaries. The Air Force using “Aggressor” is newspeak BS that frames the AF as always the defending “good guy” not an equally culpable combatant. Happ’s stupid cult.

Well here’s the thing, i’m only willing to care about DCS as much as ED is willing to care about DCS. I’ll only ever meet them where they’re at. And that’s pretty low when it comes to deep crunchy functionality. Heatblur shipped it seemingly this way, or were not informed by ED of changes that would affect their work, so, it’s a much easier road to accept what is, not what “should be”.

All I gotta say, is I hope they make it a switchable thing, because I don’t want some crappy control input delay forced on me like the crappy OS makers sim does.

If you have a truly set up center stick cockpit, sit in it and thing about what your arm is doing. You have a lever action with your forearm using your lap as a fulcrum. While fine detail movement is made by fingertip, your over all control is using that fulcrum pivot, which engages both your elbow and shoulder in coordination. On a desk mounted stick you only have your wrist for gross movements. With a very short throw. Other than an F-16, that’s not realistic, and even an F-16 is weird because it’s so deeply FBW. The F-5 in DCS is modeling the full control mechanism. So translating a 15 degree displacement on a desk joystick to a full control displacement in the simulation. Ypu say you can’t fly hard and fast in the F-5, but i’ve never had a problem with that. Pulling harder isn’t how you fly “fast” smooth is fast in an old plane like the F-5. I suspect as people transition to FFB like I have, this “problem” will go away with zero intervention by ED. It’s closer to accurate yes. Especially with an FFB stick and an extension. I think too many people start in Hornets and Vipers then don’t understand why in a non FBW 3rd gen fighter their regular hamfisting doesn’t work. It’s the Fidelity vs Functionality compromise. Coupled with the fact that non FFB leaves you with no feel for what the plane is doing. And so the argument now is ED needs to basically fake FBW control damping to correct for FBW flyers.

So what you’re saying is, you want DCS to airbus you because it’s easier than learning what not to do. And yes, I’m going to go out on a limb and guess some of that 15,000hrs was in an airbus. Because only FBW drivers can’t understand how you have to fly a sim different to a real plane.

Before I ever flew I worked ground service and we had warning charts about how even at idle you could have your truck flipped if you were close enough to even a high bypass turbofan. Old turbojets were even more dangerous. An idling jet engine is moving a hell of a lot of air mass.

Yes especially with regard to the carrier deck, which has some voodoo going in to be “moving ground”. it’s a flight simulator not a Taxi simulator. So the compromise will always be on the taxi side.

Unless you’re flying with a floor mounted stick with an extension, and progressive springs or FFB, it’s inherently unrealistic whatever you do. Desktop joysticks are a compromise of convenience. They, not the sim, is the problem. As someone with a seat mounted FFB stick, faked in “damping” would be extremely obnoxious. Because I did learn the feel to fly the plane as it’s built. With my elbow and shoulder, not my wrist. if you’re using the wrong tool for the job, don’t expect great results.

Either they suspect someone is stealing assets from them, or, Vice-Versa. Either way, they’ve decided everything should be locked down.

Finally making the globe would be a blast, adding some Iranian airbases would be a bare minimum.

Theorizing is literally what everyone here is doing.

You mean the MOD? Try removing the mod and see what the F-14 does then.

More than a small amount. Even with the nozzle all the way open.

How off? Because it’s a historical sight so it’s showing you a bullets travel time in the past. Also are you flying coordinated? It can’t compensate for slip or skid conditions.

Could be designed that way for stall recovery?

I have always run a Sidewinder FFB2 and have never snapped a wing.

Do a deeper repair, you're missing files.

Depends what you mean by "B" A+ "B"s, or New manufacture "B"s

Keeping jets not moving takes work. Most will roll on idle.

I mean at the least it should be eating a metric heap of dirt in the intakes.

Talk, to your computer? Disgusting.

Oh the X there is the breakaway cue. As usual, how weird that a late 60’s computer has limits/s

There shouldn't be an "X" there on the hud. Something's not right.

Still need to change in liveries. Until either some full 3d model change, or ED develops a “Decal” system like basically every console race sim has had for a decade. Either way it needs to be a texture not an animation arg. Like DCS does it now.

“Soon”
