R1Lawsy Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 maybe is a grow to love aircraft... I was having frame rate issues with it in VR and couldn't play it. After the last update I re-watched all the vids (that guy that did the 5 days to Viggen - awesome!) Now it runs so well... Its a great aircraft Wait till its out of Beta and the campaign is well, what the Viggen was designed for - defend against Russian invasion... When you have to land on a road and re-arm and head back to complete your task... Now there are two aircraft to fly - the 21 for A to A... Viggen for A - G... Oh and the English cockpit mod is great...
Wolf8312 Posted April 5, 2017 Author Posted April 5, 2017 I know what you mean it is growing on me already its got some really cool weapons and I just love the speed and how well it controls! Its been a painful process mapping all the keys but I've just realized I can download some TARGET profiles which I'm hoping will make things much better cause as of now in game, its impossible to map things like the button on my Warthog that is normally used for slew. ------------ 3080Ti, i5- 13600k 32GB VIVE index, VKB peddals, HOTAS VPC MONGOOSE, WARTHOG throttle, BKicker,
R1Lawsy Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 Yeh its so good that you have to come in low and super fast... one pass only or you prolly won't get another chance... Its got loads of power and i'd put its two sidewinders up against say the F5... You have the power in the vertical and plenty of energy to extend an escape if it goes south...

I just worked out how to use the mavericks, and rediscovered about 3 different buttons on my warthog that will work nicely for the many extra joystick controls that the viggen uses. What with self controlled missiles (remind me of super sheep from worms!) and telescopic mavericks the module is unique enough to be pretty much a 'must buy' though I wonder for how long it will hold my interest. I have to admit it though it would be pretty boring if the was no variation across different modules. Flying alongside my own missile in VR before it slams into a very difficult to find and zero onto target was a joy to behold! I seriously love jetbombings as well! ------------ 3080Ti, i5- 13600k 32GB VIVE index, VKB peddals, HOTAS VPC MONGOOSE, WARTHOG throttle, BKicker,
fitness88 Posted April 7, 2017 Posted April 7, 2017 Keep telling me how great the Viggenis don't stop! Have you installed the English cockpit mod...if so how is it? What about the M-2000C anyone flipped out on this one?

Flying in the evening though so I guess we'll find out! ------------ 3080Ti, i5- 13600k 32GB VIVE index, VKB peddals, HOTAS VPC MONGOOSE, WARTHOG throttle, BKicker,

Enjoy and let me know how it compares to the F-15 Sorry bud don't have the F15, was always kind of put off by the lack of a clickable cockpit assuming lack of depth. But I get the feeling now this is just silly and depriving myself of a fantastic experience? ------------ 3080Ti, i5- 13600k 32GB VIVE index, VKB peddals, HOTAS VPC MONGOOSE, WARTHOG throttle, BKicker,

Wolf8312 Posted April 11, 2017 Author Posted April 11, 2017 Basically just meant as I dont have the F15 I cant compare it to the M2000C, and was musing over the possibility that I was maybe missing out! Can compare it to the Viggen and Mig21 though, its probably going to be my favourite of them all as it flies very similar to the Viggen but has much better weapons systems or at least systems that I personally prefer like a default cannon and better control over things like the rocket systems. Seems much more multi-purpose but probably easier to fly than the Viggen. I had some difficulties taking of with the Viggen because I kept trying to pull up to high too early, but the M2000C seems very easy to both take off and land in even for a noob. Only just broke out the weapons system tutorial so will need more time to get a better overview. ------------ 3080Ti, i5- 13600k 32GB VIVE index, VKB peddals, HOTAS VPC MONGOOSE, WARTHOG throttle, BKicker,
Wolf8312 Posted April 11, 2017 Author Posted April 11, 2017 All that said Viggen in VR flying around Vegas like a total mad man wow the speed, its agility and how it handles and just feels is very difficult to beat. My only gripe with the Viggen is those puny feeling gunpods but its still pretty much the best plane or Jet module I've tried. Looking forward to the release of battle of stalingrand VR this week but after flying these fast jets I worry I am going to find WW2 birds too tedious! ------------ 3080Ti, i5- 13600k 32GB VIVE index, VKB peddals, HOTAS VPC MONGOOSE, WARTHOG throttle, BKicker,
