Yes but I'd like to be able to create and save them in-game.

ED, not sure if it's been requested before but it'd be great if we could save weapon loadouts from the in-game Rearm and Refuel menu instead of having to go to the mission editor.

A decent video from Sky News on the RAF's Quick Reaction Alert based out of RAF Coningsby. It includes a demonstration of a scramble and intercept. Ignore the F-35 in the thumbnail, there's Eurofighters aplenty in the video!

Sounds like an incredible team! I'm very much looking forward to this module!

During WW2 much if not all of Britain was blacked out so as not to aid Ze Germans navigating and targeting at night. Will there be an option to blackout Old Blighty?

You bolter and go to the correct carrier.

It's a tanker hornet. You can see the refueling drogue at 9:47. The little propeller at the front of the centerline fuel tank is, I'm guessing, for generating power.

I've mapped the slew control to the coolie switch and kept the TDC depress as is. It's better but still a bit fiddly. I'll mess around with other mapping options but not tonight.

MAV - pressing down on the TDC while giving slew commands Anybody else find this completely unworkable atm? I'm using a HOTAS Warthog throttle.

While in the air, try RAlt+# to bring up the COMM1 menu and RCtrl+# to bring up the COMM2 menu.

Latest stable version is 2.5.3.23225 Current openbeta is 2.5.3.24436 You'll need to install the openbeta version which is easy enough.

F-4 with carrier ops over a Vietnam map would be incredible. Here's to hoping :beer:

Maybe try this mod, haven't tried it myself... https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3300689/

Got the huey too. Haven't tried it yet though. Wondering how it'll work with the warthog throttle. Also got NTTR.

I'm not at my PC so can't check, but have you tried looking at the module manager on the games main menu screen? I deleted Normandy a few days ago, maybe the option to delete Caucasus is also there.

OK, that changes things! I was going to have the touchscreen at arms length so I guess I'll need a much bigger display. Thanks, RightStuff.

joojoo, I recently switched to the open beta version and found this thread helpful. It was very easy to make the switch. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=114030 This link will tell you the current versions of both the open beta and the stable game. https://updates.digitalcombatsimulator.com/

A couple of quick questions, Is there much of a performance hit when using helios? Presumably it works with a touchscreen, are there any recommendations? I was considering the Magedok 15,6 Inch touch screen.

Great mission, really immersive, lots of detail. I haven't played many night-time missions so that presented some new challenges, really liked that it was a cold start, that I had to marshall and was presented with a push time as well as a host of other timings to stick to. Was a bit worried about fuel toward the end but managed to connect to the S-3B on the way back (I don't often manage this, especially at night) then ending with a coughshortenedcough case 3 approach. I definitely learned a few things tonight! Thanks Jaybird!

600kt shit-hot carrier break.... Then fly into the back of the boat.

This is after about 15 attempts one evening.

You can focus on objects a few inches away with PVS-14s. Don't see why we shouldn't be able to in game, depending on the device used. Anybody know what NVDs hornet pilots use?

You can shave the detent down to make a smoother transition, or you can buy this part https://www.shapeways.com/product/3MJPNE2SV/warthog-throttle-part-afterburner-detent I haven't tried either... yet.

Try this mod to get an idea of where your trim is. Might help a bit. Fly in landing configuration and trim for on speed. Take a note of where the white cross is on the controls indicator. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3300978/ Also try entering the break at a lower speed or spend longer in the downwind. Practice case 1 over an airfield. Fly circuits in landing configuration using the throttle to maintain correct pitch. It's very satisfying once you get it.

I wonder if a Jester app would be useful.
