I need help with the F16 (Keyboard) (flying and tracking pod)

[luhiwe19]

Hello,

 

my problem is that I´m (for now) using a keyboard in game, and it didn´t bother me to much until i bought the F16. The basic controlling of this plane is such weird: when i press the button to go sideways, about 0.5-1 Sec nothing happens, but then it nearly does a complete spin. as far as i know this is only with the F16 ( Í have the F16, Flaminc cliffs 3 and the normal planes) please tell me you know how to fix this.

 

My second, little problem is, that i can´t properly use the tracking pod, because I cant move the camera. i did all steps right but idk what buttons to press to move the cam on keyboard, or mabey I am using the right one´s and they simply dont work. I hope you guys can help me... :(

 

kind regards

1) Get a cheap joystick it will help.

You just need to be gentle on the button. It will put more force on the stick the longer you hold the button down. It's the only way ED can do this, they could adjust the speed of the force I guess. Some like it quick, some like the onset slow? Hard to win and most will buy a joystick so you adjust the force with an adjustable slide axis.

 

2) You have to turn the TGP on and set the sensor of interest (SOI)

 

(Hold Right Alt + . ) are the keyboard binds to switch SOI

On the stick in the real jet. This a button is the display management Switch (DMS) down

 

Watch me do this below. Now this was an experience.......Not messed around in DCS without using my HOTAS for a longgggg time lol.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Watch Wags video on TGP to learn more about the TGP and SOI
