virulosity

You're in a jet wash! ;)

I was able to do this and win against an AI MiG-19P. I think part of the problem is that AI likes to go vertical and I can't match climb rate with the F-5. I'll keep adjusting strategy. Thanks for the video, definitely addresses the main issue. Something that helped big time was adding WAY more curvature to the stick than other models, and I limited saturation to 80% to start with. It's really easy to over command the surfaces into stall, this perhaps is more realistic than the other flight models (or because this plane isn't fly by wire IRL).

Yeah I have been watching a lot of his videos, actually what got me interested in DCS! The only video he has with an F5 I could find is him flying circles around it in a M2000 :P

Ah ok, not plug and play. Thanks so much for the info. I will try to get it working and upload a "plug and play" livery if I can get it there!

So I tried it, and it just looks like a plain gray livery with black text. Are the roughmet mods not compatible with 2.5.6?

Wow! Thank you! I looked through every page and somehow missed it.

That's the goal :) To be fair, I did a quick search on YouTube and couldn't find any videos of 1v1 guns kills (on a reasonably modern fighter) where the pilot was able to actually maneuver onto the bandits 6. But, I agree haven't had a chance to study the performance curves of this aircraft to be able to posture the fight into an advantage (if there is one).

I just bought this module as it looked like a fun light small plane that should be a good dogfighter yeah? Well, so far every 1v1 fight I have had this plane just bleeds off speed once you get into a turning fight and it's all over. It feels like I'd be better off in an SU-25. Is this a bug? Are the FC3 aircraft just way unrealistically good? I have flown pretty much every aircraft DCS has to offer now that they are free to try, and I already owned F-18, F-16, M2000, AV8, FC3. This airplane seems worse than anything else I have flown. Am I missing something?

It's a link to the roughmet mod, which I downloaded and doesn't seem to contain the livery.

Now, where can I find this livery?

Thank you for all the replies! I think the problem may have been that I didn't clear out the default binding before adding my own. I tried clearing everything and re-applying the bindings and that worked.

EDIT: I Fixed it, Thanks All Hi, I have a Warthog HOTAS, I have several other modues which operate with every button/switch mapped as a "pulse". The hornet seems to be special in that you can modulate the airbrake by pressing and holding the brake to set the position that you want. With the command mapped as a "pulse" in the TARGET GUI, the brake moves a tiny bit and stops. If I press and hold the key on the keyboard it works as it should, so I mapped the command as a "hold" (when you hold the button down it keeps sending the key press). This however doesn't respond differently in game than the pulse. I tested the settings with the event tester and it appears to functioning correctly (the key press is as long as I hold the button). I am baffled why it doesn't seem to work right in game. I have the same issue with nose wheel steering when you have to hold down to enter NWS HI mode. Any ideas? Thanks

I noticed after the last update that the betty sounds are now on the "helmet" volume instead of the "cockpit" volume. The only problem is that when I turn up the helmet volume loud enough to hear, the radio is super loud. What am I missing here?

Just checked my version and it needed an update. Update fixed it. Thank you!

I can't find any bindings for NVG in the controls menu, there isn't any option to equip them in the mission editor, and the ground crew menu doesn't have a menu to install! Was this feature removed?

Are the V4 files still available somewhere? I liked the "starwars" intake sound on on V4. I want to mix and match a bit.

I have been flying a mission where I take off and land on the Stennis instead of Tarawa. One time, the LSO came on and gave corrections onto the deck! I don't have any LSO mod. Is this a new feature? I don't know what I did different that made it happen, is there a guide to activating it? Thanks!

Any way to do this? I tried copy pasting certain color files over the other ones but that seemed to have no effect. I want to replace all the yellow with red, looks way better in game IMO. I also noticed that the harrier has an effect where the tracers scatter after impacting the ground. Would this be possible to implement on other AC?

I wanted to update this as it was really frustrating!! Hope this helps someone. Turns out that somehow the "Auto Trim" got turned on in the game options, this results in the giant dead band.

The only thing that changed was the latest automatic update of DCS, now all of my FC3 aircraft have about 10 degrees of dead zone near center stick, rendering them almost unflyable! I went into the axis tune to see if it was just a setting change but all of the axes are still default settings, and changing them doesn't seem to help. My other aircraft are unaffected, just the FC3 package. Any ideas? Very frustrating!

I want to change the gun sound to something more realistic. I was planning on copying the M61 sound to the harrier sound, but I can't find the harrier gun sound file! I thought it sounded identical to the SU25T cannon, which is the file PlaneCannon.wav, but I changed it and the harrier still sounds the same. Anyone know the filename? Thanks!
