Winwing does ship from inside Europe now. It's the reason I recently bought their F-16 throttle and it was shipped from Germany. Free shipping, too. No big complaints about the throttle (or software) for now, except the assembly (with the combination of F-16 and Orion 2) being a real PITA, including mounting it to a chair. Wouldn't have had such trouble with the F-18 grip, I guess (but who wants that when you can get the 16 grip? ).

Interesting! Thanks for the advice. What have you set your deadzone at in DCS?

What I meant is that (as far as I know) there is no curve in the real plane, so we should not use a curve with the fssb - especially as it such a high grade controller. You gain precision by increasing the maximum pull force. If your mounting solution allows for it put it as high as possible while trying to achieve the roll/pull ratio Deano87 provided. A curve will only confuse. Apart from any (possible) in-development inaccuracies of the Viper implementation in DCS, these settings should be all you need to get accurate controlls. Any other control adjustments in DCS would be unrealistic (and probably not useful). NASA pitch same as roll. Try 133% it should serve you well in my opinion.

Angle adjust -12° NASA Roll sensibility = 133% and the same for pitch (if you don't like it then try 110-133%). I've got roll sensibility at 4,33lb and pitch sens at 8,5lb and it's working pretty well for me. Should be around the same ratio as in the real plane give or take. I used a setting by another user who tried to get near the real ratio and adjusted it slightly for my liking. It's a pretty good force to pull. If you're setting the stick to be too sensitive, you are sacrificing fine control. If you want to pull hard on the stick you will have to work for it. Additionally that setting depends on your mounting surface. I'm getting slight movement of the mount already using this amount of force. BFA roll and pitch to minimum as recommended in the manual (if you have not read it yet, do so. It's quite detailed) - it's like a dead zone so just resting your hand on the stick does not give "ghost" inputs. Personal preference but my warning sound level is 90%. If you're trying to keep the realism you should not use any curves in DCS or otherwise. The plane's designers put some thought into that decision and I really think it's better to keep it linear. If you need different sensitivity the plane will automatically provide that (like in landing or air to air refueling modes).

Just taking a guess, but it could be that you're assuming you entered STT when you are actually in SAM. If you place the attack radar cursor over the brick and press TMS UP once, you will enter situational awareness mode (SAM), which is something like LTWS in the Hornet. From that point you can enter STT by pressing TMS UP a second time. So make sure to enter STT by pressing TMS UP twice on the brick. I'd suggest rewatching this vid from Wags about the radar RWS and basic AIM-120 employment to make sure you're not missing something. I hope it's helpful

There are custom servers with naked spawn now, and it really does help with the gen gameplay. Don't expect to be enlightened on the public servers 213, there are a lot of new players and people who aren't interested in teamwork around. Because this game is more than twitch and "simple" strategies (compared to the average shooter), it's hard to get the full teamplay experience with an uncoordinated team or if they all just start trading bases going team deathmatch.

GOTTA GO FAST :worthy:

:huh:

Well I guess it's safer than being aboard an airplane where one tiny malfunction decides whether you land safely or splat on the ground... Or burn alive :smoke:

If you're happy and you know it, it's a sin :music_whistling:

You just won this thread :D

I'm gonna buy a CBU-103 conversion kit, got a few of them old CBU-87 collecting dust under my bed. Heck, I'm just gonna buy me a few fresh ones they're dirt cheap :lol: And of course one kitchen sink, you can never have enough kitchen sinks...

And if he didn't barricade himself it would mean he is innocent? Not much of a point in doing it anyway, as they had enough time to cut through to him ...

LOL there's some weird stuff out there :lol:

It's really amazing. Of course it's hard to judge how fast he was going, but it seems the aircraft itself absorbed most of the impact. Still shows how fragile yet sturdy humans are :thumbup: Plus the fact that he absorbed the impact in a upright sitting position which probably saved his life (comparison to ejection seats, when you're not seated perfectly the enormous acceleration would probably snap your spine).
