Thanks very much for the campaign. Campaigns like this are exactly why I spend time in DCS vs other sims. Can I make two suggestions for the next campaign? Can you make the briefings available outside of DCS? I like to read them and prepare before jumping into VR. I do like cold starts over hot/air starts.

I keep reading "dedicated" sound card in threads and requirements. I currently either use VR or a USB sound bar when not in VR. I just bought a mini subwoofer amplifier and a cheap bass transducer device. Can't I just output from the motherboard audio outputs (3.5mm) to the amp, since those are currently unused? Is there anything else I need?

This ED stands for Eagle Dynamics. It's a software company.

From someone who has only ever used the TM - why is it so much better than the Warthog?

Agreed, re: locking wheels. An essential part of my setup. Let us know how you feel about the dampers (I know you will, lol) Though maybe they're sold out for the v2 pedals now anyway?

Weird - I thought a professional printing service would be able to overcome the issues, but maybe you get what you pay for. I haven't tried it myself, but if you have a copy of Acrobat Pro or equivalent, then I would save the PDF as image files (jpegs) then wrap the files back up into a new PDF. That will flatten all of the images and fonts at least.

Next week.

Ok - I had, but checked again. On the bottom of the BIOS screen when I highlight the Resize Bar option, there is a note stating to disable Compatibility Support Module (CSM) in the Boot menu. I'm not really sure what that is, but I disabled it anyway and now Nvidia CP says Resizable Bar is enabled.

Hmm... I updated my 3080 FE with that firmware, and still Nvidia CP says Resizable Bar = No. On an Asus Prime x470 Pro and 5600x

I hope that's not the case. My time in the other WW2 sim is quite limited these days because (among other things) the campaigns here are more numerous. They developed a career mode for the sim and now don't even advertise campaigns for their new products. I'll hate for that to happen here. DCS has great scripted campaigns, which play a huge part in which modules I decide to purchase.

I initially took the advice of others and tried to use only rudder for lateral movement, but still found out that I was comfortable using the stick (roll) axis anyway. And the F-14 is the first plane that I've become proficient in AAR in. So I think you should be good. I'm using Crosswind pedals, btw.

Is it trying to get through the Suez Canal?

Where the heck do you park $50 these days that will get you more than ten cents of interest over a few months? Edit - and no, I don't mean ten percent, I literally mean ten cents

Does anyone know which map(s) the campaign(s) will be for? ED mentions a campaign on the store page.

It says on the website that extensions are not recommended for the Orion. Also the throttle looks nice and I was considering it until I saw in a video that the afterburner detents are not removable? I fly a lot of planes with no AB so this may be a deal breaker for me.

Lol, yeah I think you somehow ended up in one of the surviving F-14s that exists in some museum, where the Air Force stripped it of all its parts so that they don't fall into Iranian hands

I swear they remove the 3 wire when they clear me to land. I'm not sure if the grade history is saved anywhere, but it would be full of 1, 2, and 4 wires.

What about if water injection is used? I have only a little time in the P-47 and haven't read the manual yet so I don't know the details yet. But water injection adds double benefit of cooling and extra power, unless I'm mistaken?

The Zone 5 campaign is for the A.

Ooh, nice. Content for the P-47!

I'm not sure about the two entries thing, but for your wingmen, it's under something like Go to... then RTB. Then they will go land instead of trying to stay in formation with you while you land.

That's not really the campaign creator's fault. Often I order my wingmates to either rtb or hold position while I land if I am trying to avoid this type of thing.

Oh, yeah. My understanding is that they wait until some critical mass of orders come in, then they make and send a bunch out. But with how hard it is to get ahold of certain peripherals these days, that may be your best bet. If I were in the market for a throttle right now that's what I would do. Also VKB is supposed to come out with a new throttle design soon, but no release date yet. But according to their announcement earlier this year, they will have some at a number of price points.

Lol, good luck trying to get one of these at anywhere close to msrp. Have you considered the Virpil throttle instead?

Same issue. Headset USB works only on a PCI card USB port, and strangely it's very stable there and not on any on-board ports. Though I've read that the issue has been identified and board manufacturers should have BIOS updates in a month or so. Not sure I remember my source for that. PCGamer maybe.
