Hello everyone!
Wanted to say hello, let you know a little bit about me and ask a few questions.
I'm from germany, so I'm not a native english speaker, hopefully you'll be able understand me. I'm 36 years old and interested in avaition, and military aviation in special, for a while now. I started RC flying a few years ago and I'm into RC jets for a few years. Most of them are so called sport jets but also got a F-16 in 1/8 scale.
Due to bad weather in winter I was looking for something related to jets and a buddy came up with DCS. Tried it and got totally catched. At the moment I'm waiting for the computer to arrive and already orderer other stuff. Besides the computer, setup will be the Thrustmaster Warthog, Saitek Pedals, TrackIR. I'd like to start and focus on the F-18 since it looks like it's a good allrounder for air-to-air and air-to-ground. And I really look forward to carrier operations.
On other forums I learned to use the search function very first. But actually I don't know if it's my bad english or the wrong place, so I hopefully my place my first two questions here.
Regarding controls: Is there a profile for the Thrustmaster Warthog stick and throttle for the F-18 that comes directly with DCS or the module?
Regarding TrackIR: any information about the maximum degrees for moving the head around in cockpiton the axis? left/right, up/down etc. Or just setup the TrackIR how it feels most comfortable for me?
I guess there will be more questions once everything is here and first training missions are done.
Thanks in advance and hope to see you in the skies.
Markus
