Just my two cents for Reflected - I was able to complete Mission 1 my first try (very proud of myself though I did practice Case 3 landings a lot earlier this year) I didn't hit the tanker, and still landed with 1100 lbs fuel, so it's perfectly doable. For anyone starting this, you really need to know how to do IFR with Tacan, and also it really helps if you use the ICLS to help you line up to the carrier. Really looking forward to the rest of the campaign!!

Congrats. I'll pm you my address.

I hope your wife will be okay.

To be fair, I think that's still going to happen as an artifact of reprojection. It would be nice to be wrong, but I think this is a separate issue.

It would be nice if the cable was smoother. The existing cable sticks to everything

Any difference other than the power switch? I unplug mine when I'm done anyway. My first cable died and they just replaced it, though with the same old cable

Is it recommended to put V-sync on in-game with a VR headset? Does it end up affecting anything?

If I remember - didn't they come with three? I have medium stiffness, but am also using a mount that doesn't move. I can do AAR just fine. For tabletop use, lighter may be better.

Hey, I just got mine replaced by HP for the image blackout issue and I got the old cable

What does this mean? Will it be covered in coal dust or something?

I'm traditionally a warbird and vintage pilot, but the F-14 is an amazing module. You get the rare combination of visceral warbird-level stick and rudder feel along with the BVR capabilities and raw speed of a modern jet. Operate from carriers or land. Campaigns. Training missions. You just can't beat it. To the OP, how much have you spent on hardware? The F-14, especially on sale, is a drop in the bucket compared to other expenses in this hobby. Vote with your dollars and support the hard-working devs of modules like this that make our hobby possible. Edit - I didn't expect to be into the Tomcat as much as I am. But to ED's credit, it was during a free-to-play session that I tried it and immediately thought "holy crap, this thing is damn fun to fly". And systems aside, the thing is simply gorgeous when it comes to visual fidelity. If there ever is a court case where developers of shovelware are on the stand, this module could be Exhibit A as to how things SHOULD be done in the industry.

Yeah, two of my three PCs at home won't be up to the Win 11 requirements. Luckily my simming PC should be ok though, but my other two are no slouches really so it's kind of a surprise. They just have slightly older Intel CPUs. This is kind of a departure from the requirements philosophy of the last few Windows releases.

Just because Steam works on Linux does not mean that all Steam games do.

And do the various peripherals work in Linux; Thrustmaster, CH Products, Virpil, VKB, MFG, etc? VR/TrackIR? Simshaker?

Sounds like quite a lot of overhead for testing and maintenance every patch. How many additional users would be expected after adding DCS to Linux?

I'm reasonably sure that SSAO was causing stutters while rolling which improved a lot for me with it disabled. I assumed it was all of the calculations of lighting changes in the cockpit when rolling? Just a suggestion in case it may help.

If you think it's too easy, get the damper mod for the MFGs and turn the resistance on the damper all the way up.

Oh, yes. I had to Google where to find the S/N. It was inside the headset on the left side, not the one on the tag on the cable. I couldn't enter a chat until I had entered the correct one.

I'm getting a replacement cable sent in the mail as well. Achieved through a chat session on their site with little problem. I do have issue with a number of things on this headset though - I do wish the build quality was a bit better.

I'm trying to see what the general airflow direction is? Where is the radiator? Is it on the front of the case, blowing outwards? Because of the fan on the top, blowing into the case, is a little unconventional. Usually air comes in from the front, then out the back and top. I'm not saying this is the case in your case, but if there are competing fans causing turbulent air, that can negatively affect temps quite drastically. There should be one major direction with all fans working in agreement. It makes a much bigger difference than some give it credit for. And also mind how many fans are pushing vs pulling.

I do want to chime in for the first time regarding this issue. I do see this second mission load crash, which I saw for the first time immediately after the 2.7 release. And it never happened before this version was released. I have no overclocks on my GPU, but have an xmp profile on my ram. PBO is enabled on my Ryzen. But no manual overclocks. Edit - all mods disabled after the update. And a repair done. The crash always happens during mission load on the 2nd mission (and happens sometimes but not always)

Source?

It's been a while, but fly up the coast for a bit and they will ask you to check on something north of where you took off from.

I have the G2, and if I wanted this I would need to spend a bit more than $799, correct? Or else I'd have a really nice paper weight?

Do you think so? The kit is over twice the cost of the G2.
