Cab

I’m gonna guess two weeks

Check out the end of the "2023 and Beyond" video here: Plus it already has its own, official Wish List forum: DCS: Hellcat F6F - ED Forums

This was the ticket to success. Thank you.

Ok, thanks. I’ll try using the top of the HUD as an aiming point when I get home today

Really all versions and ranges but I'd be happy to focus on the AIM-9B as a control since it is commonly used by so many aircraft in DCS I freely admit it could be something I'm doing wrong, however, I experience no problem getting a tone with the AIM-9B on the F-5, F-86, A-4, etc. But under similar circumstances with the F1, getting a tone is very, very rare. Also, I am accounting for the two-minute requirement after turning the "MATRA 550 or sidewinder missile switch" to M. So basically it comes down to this: In the F1 I rarely ever get tone using the AIM-9B, while in other aircraft I have no problem getting a tone. But for all I know, maybe the F1 is correct and the others are too easy.

It is much more difficult to get a lock with the Sidewinders on the F1 compared to the other jets. Anyone know why?

I was typing up a different perspective on this but lost interest. The reality is the OP request will never be implemented anyway, and the tireless guardians of “realism” will never be swayed. So what’s the point.

Agreed. A visual reference would be nice to offset the lack of a physical reference.

FWIW I do a lot of flying on Enigma's Cold War server, which is very CPU dependent. The difference between the 5600X and 5800X3D was night and day, and really worth the cost.

I did that exact same upgrade and thought it was well worth it.

Still experiencing this in ST using openXR. Labels in one eye only. MT works okay.

Labels are working for me with this exception: Flying in VR single thread, labels are only displaying in one eye. I do not experience this in multithread.

I wish this were a higher priority...

Even accepting the 10.2g-load (which I don’t, but have no evidence), it is still far too easy to break the wings. I have had the smallest stick movement at 500+kts result in them snapping off. This simply does not happen in real life. So maybe the problem is with the default curve coded to stick movement at high speed.

Not the F-8?

Is this what you're looking for?

This is the disconnect. You believe it, but it’s just not true. There are lots of public servers that don’t address it one way or another.

No, it was the original series. I remembered it myself, but did google searches to confirm my memory. The original series was 1978, and the name seems to have been first purposed around 1980. Seems the jet didn't have an official name yet, and pilots were suggesting Viper, taken from the TV show. The name Fighting Falcon became official that same year (I think).

I intended to include this quote as well

Nice to see people with apparent first hand knowledge dispelling some of the long held myths on this topic.

Well said. Much nicer than I could phrase it.

Are you on Open Beta?

It was the 80's.

Fair enough. But I fly VR with PointCTRL and love the simplicity it brings to operating the controls. So, an interactive cockpit is a very high priority for me.

You misunderstood. The F-16's official name is Fighting Falcon, named after the USAFA mascot. The alternate name "Viper" for the F-16 was taken from the name of the fighters spacecraft in "Battlestar Galactica". null
