cve92 Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Coming from Il2 1946 thought I would give this a shot. I know about FC3 and DCS, but computer not ready for that yet.:mad: Got this, walk before run you know. Anybody still playing FC2? I have some questions. :) Thanks.
2IAE-CrashBG Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 I'm not sure, but you might be better off in DCS World 1.5, than FC2 even. [sIGPIC]http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e381/46crash/crahshig.png[/sIGPIC] Bulgarian DCS Community
FanBoy2006.01 Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Welcome to IL2 Modern Battles! To me IL2 and FC/Lockon/DCS have the same feel. And they are all great. IL2 is more about engine management and FC2 more about system management, because of difference in era (1940s vs 1980ish). But that is an oversimplification. Your IL2 skills will come in handy. Fixed wing aircraft will be easier to fly in most respects. But combat is more lethal and it is harder to run from a fight. But now there is missile tactics also. You can run yourself out of fuel more easily as well. But I am rambling. Hope you have a great time.
cve92 Posted October 30, 2015 Author Posted October 30, 2015 Thanks for the replies. Let me first say I do have some flying experience but nothing military. My first question is the brakes. Coming from toe brakes I see you need to press the w key to brake. Does this put brakes full on, do you press w key off and on to modulate braking? in preparing to take off, how do you hold the aircraft while running up to mill power. I've tried searching the sight, utube, and net but can't find an answer. All I can find is about mapping the brake key. If someone could point me in the right direction. Again, thanks for the replies:)
=4c=Nikola Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 When you press W, braking force will gradually (in maybe 1-2 sec) rise from 0 to 100% and vice versa. You control braking force pressing w key off and on. For take off, you can press and hold W while you're adding the power. Do not expect fairness. The times of chivalry and fair competition are long gone.
HiJack Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 You have not discovered the "Axis" selection in the options for each aircraft! Go in to options, select the assignments list and on the top you will find the drop down box, click it! Then select AXIS, there you will find the assignments for Wheel brake left, right and both.
Azrayen Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 there you will find the assignments for Wheel brake left, right and both. No. We're talking FC2 here. Even in DCS, it totally depends on the aircraft considered: Some have 3 brake axis (L/R/Both). Some have one (as IRL). Some have none (not implemented). But in FC2, no wheel brake axis.
Nate--IRL-- Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 Try DCS 1.5 (it is free after all) it will most likely perform better than FC2. Nate Ka-50 AutoPilot/stabilisation system description and operation by IvanK- Essential Reading
cve92 Posted November 1, 2015 Author Posted November 1, 2015 I downloaded DCS from steam, but having some issues with it. FC2 is playing ok, just trying to map stuff that's driving me nuts.
Johnny Dioxin Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 You'll find there are still a few servers up for FC2 and Black Shark, too.
