wouldn't the left arm pretty much obscure all the radios, etc? Not so much the right arm if it's on the stick.. Remember- not everyone has a warthog hotas.

meh- good idea in principle- but I'd be fine w/ just legs (maybe animation of pedal operations) or skipping it. Especially arms- where they would be in the way of clicking switches..

I'll check back later- won't download in chrome.. check that- it's downloading- but at a laughable speed. pacing 23 minutes for 4.2 Mb

Nice.

if I may tag on and be a little more specific- Will a tank in DCS blow up sooner/ and or with fewer rounds if taken on the side/ rear than a frontal assault? It'd be kinda cool to see a tank lose it's track and stop after taking rounds to the side.. greed.. it's a biotch..:D

Really? When you say navigate are you following your HSI, and HUD displays- or are you hitting F10 every few minutes? Like I said- you do what you want. But the majority of active participants on this forum is comprised of pretty serious hobbyists- at worst. If you don't seem like you care to learn much of anything, but still ask a bunch of really simple questions...... well.. I'll just say expect a certain level of grief. Or- expect an answer that you don't understand at all.

Not true. That's your rambo gene kicking in. It's a common thing for the entire spectrum of gaming. Flight simulation is different. Gotta think, study, learn, and be patient. I think that HaWX game is for people who want to memorize 4-10 controls and think they PWn JOO.. This is a process. And TBH- LOMAC 2.0 is a very medium level simulation- at BEST. Only a small portion of the avionics are represented at all. Look- you know where I came from prior to LOMAC? Novalogic F22 raptor and L3. L3 was an absolutely INTENSE multiplayer experience w/ 8v8 wars and tournaments. There were flying skills and tactics to learn- but no real knowledge. If I can make the transition from THAT to LOMAC to DCS-- anyone can. I never owned any Falcon or Flanker product. I served in the USN- but nothing to do with aircraft directly, so I don't have much in the way of real world experience either.

meh.. kind of backwards if you want my opinion. Learn to fly, then fight.

Yes. If you want to learn- joining a TS channel is a good idea, but first ask if there's someone willing to help you out- don't just start barking questions.. (especially how to start engines, and why your missiles won't fire- just gunz..) A willing pilot and you can switch off to a different channel and maybe a different flying server and have at it..

well- you have a looong way to go if you don't have a stick. Sorry- but I think you are in for a lot of frustration. Flight simulation requires some semblance of dedication and some investment.. I mean- you do what you want- but many flight sim people aren't going to invest a lot of effort helping. Not picking on you- just a fact.

and don't try to learn & practice this plane- or any other- using the in game crutches like easy radar, unlimited anything. I would caution against labels too. Although I realize that there are a few circumstances where labels can be useful- it is too easy to get dependent on them- and they WILL stunt your ability to learn proper instrument & visual skills. If you have ANY aspirations of flying online ever- you must get comfortable using "ace" settings. The section of the A10 manual covering the CDU is longer than the entire F15 section..

Well the Bug is my emotional favorite- but I realize it might not be possible to do it right (at this time).. I'm sure ED is aware of how badly the F18 is wanted- and would do it if they could.. it's money. The F16 makes the most sense if you're in the prediction business.. I'd be happy with that... I don't have any particular sparkle for any of the Russian aircraft, but if I had to pick- Flanker or 29K. I reckon us Yanks would be heavily reliant on "mouse over labels" to learn a clickable russian cockpit.. stilll.. I'd buy it..

FTW!!! Can't rep ya right now- been cut off for the night.

Congratulations and best wishes to both of you.

eh? Even on the quickstart missions? The one- click insta-fly ones? beezarre. I can't think of anything other than a corrupted set of mission files. Any other type of mission- this would have to be on you. You're not choosing a plane in the preflight, or not properly setting a plane to be flyable in the first place (mission editor)

:music_whistling:

OK FC 2... I see no commands for easy radar.. Maybe it can't be used eh? Good.

No idea. Never used it. Post the version you have and maybe someone has the list.

He means there are different key commands for "easy radar" and normal mode. There wasn't any features named specifically "game or sim" until Black Shark and DCS A10. The commands are = and - for the zoom on the display.

Easy Radar- Kiss of Death.. This is not an effective learning tool. At all. Better to buckle down and learn the sim properly. Lose a little hair early on to reap rewards later.

Yeah 60 sounds like the value you enter for target size.. and there's not many 60 m across targets you need to be attacking.. Enter is not the lock command- tab is. Many of the weapons have narrow parameters for use. Insufficient light, moving targets.. etc.. any of these things can render a certain weapon useless. Whatever it is- this is user error. Find a different reference video..

Thanks guys- but this is nothing really- just my normal rig for flying. Just figured I'd see if it works. If it does- I'll get my act together and start leaving it up for public use.. The Savages keep a public server up most of the time- but it's hosted by Mr. D in Tasmania.. Which is fine.. if you live out that way.. We wanted another hosted here if possible- that doesn't cost $.. By the way- apologies to anyone who tried to join.. I discovered the dreaded windows firewall block/ unblock dialog when I closed it today.. wtf... I had already unblocked the 32 bit- but evidently that does not affect the 64 bit.. I never heard the warning tone or anything so I doubt it was useable all damn night..

Rooms down- will be home and available to fly after 6 pm

I'm testing a DCS server from home. FiOS 20/5. Let me know if it works and how smoothly. Simple mission- graphics (mainly medium) were not changed from my flight configuration. I'm out for the night so I cannot change any settings- but I will be able to access the forums. Thanks.

Yep. Lots of outages here. Using Chrome. Although this thread is a few weeks old, now.. It's not the browsers
