Polymer is fine....but I'd suggest a glock lower frame/real f18 stick is a quality mould that is either one piece or parts that are joined effectively. Problems with Polymer sim grips (eg Virpil) are that they are just too flimsy. You can feel the seperate parts bending/creaking under your (two finger) grip. Superglue should not be a requirement to get a solid immersive feel. Metal seems to resolve that......at least until a gaming manufacturer can produce a High quality Polymer that can cope with a little pressure.

I received two last week (having ordered 2 on the release day of the Tomcat preorder). So I guess that some point along the line I have two more enroute. Ace.

Holleeewould I guess with all this anger it's still to soon to start the Iron Eagle thread. I don't care what block or it's payload, just arm the gun, strap that walkman to my keyboard and fire up the Queen sound track. Meanwhile preorder or don't. You do have a choice.

I may be too late.....but NO twist grip. My experience with peripherals is more moving parts = less sturdy & more likely to loosen and break. I'm not hamfisted.....but nothing feels cheaper than a stick bending wobbling or flexing in it's mount.

Lex is the expert here. His tutorial is golden. Many moons ago I did enquire as to why the stick inputs were taboo, when I'd seen hornet vids with pilots using stick within the last phases of approach. This was explained as just balancing as you pass through burble and wind/turbulence. changes Get the aircraft quickly & efficiently trimmed on speed (fpm centred in the e bracket and bright orange circle donut on the aoa). No need to reference actual airspeed. I heard/read somewhere advice for managing the throttle movement as One inch on, half an inch off. Or one inch off half inch on. Pause for effect....repeat. These inputs keep things where they need to be.

Your not alone. Pulling hard Gs during a failed dumb bomb run caused me the same issue.Bomb fall line off the hud entirely No way to reset without restart. I assumed I'd damaged it by over G.

(Good work dude) I was experiencing the same as a result of the last March OB update. But This suggestion worked for me. God knows why a wallpaper would cause this......but it now exits without the black screen crash.

Same here. Glad it's not just me.......

Thats the most valid comment I've seen regarding the Tomcat EA yet. Whats the point of releasing it at all if I have no VF1 t-shirt to wear to the bar after a sweaty trip to the dangerzone.

Thanks. I saw the wags tutorial. I'm hoping it's something to do with improvements in accuracy. This seems wholly more odd though. The bomb fall line is just not vertical. I will try and replicate.

Anyone experiencing this? I've been using Ready on the Ramp missions to jump into quick weapons practice sessions. Load up take off, land & re-arm with something else, go again. Last night, having used Mavericks, I rearmed with Snakeyes and took off. During wings level bombing runs the CCIP fall line was not vertical in the HUD. It was offset from the vertical by (estimate) 25 - 30 degrees. Thus running from centre of the HUD to bottom left or right. Is this a bug?. Is it a crazy wind offset bombing calculation? Fuzing and bomb set ups correct as per Wags vids.
