I disagree

I've read first hand accounts from pilots who said that the adage "throttle for attitude, stick for speed" does not apply so neatly to the F-14, and they had to use stick back/forward along with the throttle during approach anyway. So I certainly use both. Also since you mention the turn, remember to increase throttle during the turn so that you don't lose too much airspeed.

To be fair, dogfighting is a thing of the past. It's not the primary reason why countries purchase planes.

If you have a lot of RAM, (maybe someone else can specify whether it's loaded mostly to system RAM or VRAM), then you can afford to increase the Preload Radius further, which will decrease the chance it needs to read from disk. But whether or not it ever will likely depends on where you end up flying.

My understanding is that the Preload Radius will determine how much of the actual environment DCS will load to RAM before starting the mission. So the lower it is set, the more often it will have to read from disk. That said, I'm not sure I'd put something like DCS on a spinning hard drive if I could avoid it at all. Though I haven't tested the difference personally. SSDs are quite affordable these days, compared to the cost of most other components.

I mean... I'm right along with you in hoping. But it's not that much (at the moment) according to the indexes that I'm looking at. And anyway, down some 10-20% on something that is ten times its value since last summer is not exactly a sea change.

Is it?

Do you have landing assistance on?

If I want to keep my control assignments but reset the display settings, which file are those stored in? Edit - I guess C:\Users\your_mom\Saved Games\DCS\Config\Options.lua

Have you unscrewed the headphones and put them back on? I did that to each and they are better than they were, when I had crackling or sound cutoff issues. They use two little spring pins which seem to be prone to losing contact with the metal indents for some reason.

I need my shadows One time flying in the Tomcat, I wanted to tune to a frequency but couldn't see which radio channel the radio screen was displaying because the sunshine was too bright on the panel. So I rolled the plane so that a shadow was cast across the panel and could read the display. Way immersive in VR

If you force trim, sure.

Yes, the Channel map and Syria. Stuttery when I look down at them.

Yeah, cities are a killer for me too. Mostly smooth everywhere else. And I have a 3080.

I believe it's here. I wonder if this gets changed during SteamVR updates? C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\MixedRealityVRDriver\resources\settings\default.vrsettings

I believe that's from Operation Fuller's, where they dropped English beer over German lines in an attempt to reduce morale among the Wehrmacht.

Most of the stutters I experience are when I have a dense city in my FoV. Then it clears up when I'm past the city. Which setting(s) have the greatest effect on city rendering?

So how do I fly the Channel Map missions as part of the campaign? Do I rename "The Big Show - 01_Channel.miz" to "The Big Show - 01.miz"?

Maybe Mizzy is a time traveler. Mizzy, do you have any stock tips?

I don't remember if there is a set trim button for pedals in the helo's, like you can do for the cyclic? If so, I'd make very heavy use of that if I was using twist instead of pedals.

"I think ED have tweaked the AI. It no longer does mindless vertical circles, but tries a larger variety of "moves"" Oh, man. That would be great if they did. I'll start the new P-47 campaign soon so I'll find out.

Yes, you have to take the input files from Config/Input from the backup that you made, then copy to the new folders that DCS just made. That will bring your control assignments back. I just did this after a repair and it seemed to work for me.

What about replacing key bindings and other settings after it's done?

When I got the first one (3080 FE through Best Buy), my wife said "I'll believe it when I see it in your hands"

I got a 3080 and a 3060ti through Best Buy - I check their app often for stock. I also got another 3080 through EVGA's queue because I hit Notify early on. The last one is not really an option anymore. People also have success waiting in line early mornings at Micro Center.
