BuzzU Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Not trying to nitpick, but there's lots of "normal" people unable to join. The military has a book full of disqualifying conditions, including for the most mundane of things. You missed my point. If you have no physical/mental problems it's pretty easy to join. Yet, even in perfect health, your chances of becoming a fighter pilot are pretty slim. Point being it's easy to join the military compared to becoming a fighter pilot.

Jumbik Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I would want to try both, but I'm leaning towards pilot. Do, or do not, there is no try. -------------------------------------------------------- Sapphire Nitro+ Rx Vega 64, i7 4790K ... etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kotor633 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Definitly trying both. And then see how Jester/Iceman AI works. Depending on which AI works better, I will then focus on either pilot or RIO. ************************************** DCS World needs the Panavia Tornado!

tribundf Posted March 10, 2019 Author Share Posted March 10, 2019 Evening all, I wanted to revive this post to see if we get those poll nubers up a little, now that we are so close and have seen so much more in videos etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestre Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 BOTH!! :joystick: YES...I guess that's the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Kazansky Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 still: both maybe the poll's numbers could be higher if there where a choice called so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl0w Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 In my eyes, the flying part of the F-14 will be quickly mastered in time with the importance of slip when dogfighting. But as the saying goes for this: "A bad pilot makes a bad plane," the same applies to the RIO. So I will be dedicating most of my time to the RIO to master the brains of the AWG-9 and control the LANTIRN. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodoo_One Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Pilot - But let's see after the F-14 is released and everyone can test the RIOs office. From the doings itself and the manual its rather borring (or atleast not what Im searching for in a flight sim) 1000 flights, 1000 crashes - perfect record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Rogue Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 As of yet, still undecided. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
md500enthusiast Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Can’t seem to find a rio Is it me or does it seem like finding a RIO is impossible, even in F14 alley on discord? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uxi Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) I mostly drive though wouldn't mind trying the back seat. I've asked a few times on Aerobatics and no one accepted. Communication is an issue. Rather than force people to use Discord, etc would prefer they have a crew chat channel but ED would need to do that and don't have a plane with multi-crew so may not see the need yet. With Random people on the Internet, I've had the issue where they bail and I'm not even sure, though with the current bug Jester doesn't come back. Made me learn how to set Tacan and the radios from the front seat, with more than a couple references to the kneeboard, but it all worked out. As it is, I mostly practice on long waypoint missions I created both day and night and drop to back seat once I'm level and at altitude. I've noticed that Jester doesn't turn on his oxygen and all lights are off so usually need to set that up first in the air. Now that we have TWS Auto I'll have something else to play with.
