sublime Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 Hi Im a longtime player but not well known. Im really a tomcat driver. Im also really good with the huey. Eberthing else is meh. I can fly and fight but.. i dont have the time in air frame. So the Jf17. The training missions.. are a bit buggy and I have trouble getting it right. If you do something out of exact order it seems to break. I downloaded user training files that are ok but.. not entirely. I plan to read chucks guide and watch YT etc. But you guys perhaps give me.tips on learning or good resources? I know its mostly just getting in her and flying. But still.. especially considering i dont own the bug and the fc3s dont have clickpable pits.. im basically like a 70s pilot thrown into thid thing. INS alignment for example. I NEVER seem to do it right. Abyways cheers all - Im amazed at how capable and .. fun this plane is!
Zorba Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 Its a great aircraft. I have both the Hornet and the F16 but currently have been in nothing but the Jeff since getting it. You have to be choosey with your payload as it is multi role but not multi mission like the FA18 but it is tons of fun. The sytems all just work and the SA/RWR/HSD is the best in my opinion. Chucks guide is great and there are some useful videos on Youtube. Once you get your head round the Hotas it is all really intuitive. Would love to see more people in the jet as everyone seems to be in the 14,16 & 18 :)
Sublimearrepentido Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 Theb"jeff" Lol my names Jeff I have trouble learning. How. Can I learn? The f14s still my favorite.. But I really like the Jf17. The handling. Its just right for my modern fix. And i didnt like the f18. The f16 less experience but.. the jf17 is new. And sexier to me anyways. I caved and bought supercarrier too. Lmao. But guys.. i know abt the mission made tutorials and the 2 in game dedaukt. However they seem dodgy. You hit the wrobg button and it ****s up etc. Any ideas? I got chucks guide. This planes pretty damned complex

Would love to see more people in the jet as everyone seems to be in the 14,16 & 18 :) I fly the f14 qnd huey and everything else with my 40 dollar joy. Ill prolly cave and order a nicer joystick next week if my money comes. I have the logitech 3d pro Xonsidering that what keys would you consider essential? I have the base buttons dor trim, countermeasures, and i forget one last thing. I think laze. The hat i use for tdc. I have a lock button soeed brake button, weapon switch button, and fire and fire cannon... Whats most important buttons tho

I would go with the mappings as detailed in Chuck's guide. These are all you need. Don't feel you can't use the keyboard though. We can't all afford a fancy HOTAS setup.
Sublimearrepentido Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 It was said u couldnt be good on a uh1 with rudder pedals. I fly with the best with a twist joystick That said my joy has limited space. Does my explanation sound the best answer or should i move trim to arrow keys and use the 4 buttons on the base for sometbing else? How can I get effective training? I very much appreciate that anyone bothersd to make 15 training missions but theyre bugged in some ways. Its just very daunting; and Ive been especiallt awat from mfda and glass cockpits awhile. The last year the f14 was as adcanced as I got..

The last year the f14 was as adcanced as I got.. I also come from the F-14 and have taken on to learning the JF-17. I now only fly the JF. For me chucks guide was the best to learn from. There are good tutorials on YouTube but you have to visit a few different videos as no one actually covered everything. Except Grimm reapers but they get a lot and I mean a lot wrong but maybe they can get you started. I’m also teaching 2 friends how to fly it at the moment. I live in +10 time zone so happy to help if your online at a similar time.
Sublimearrepentido Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 Hmm plus ten.. i thi k im minus (boston) Tha k you Shit i saw GR and got relieved. Theyee wrong. Fml

Thanks no right now its just getting used to doing things in orser. Dont do them in order they dont work. The 15 training missions aee actually less rough than I thought - especially the later ones employing weapons. I just need to practice practice practice I do have a werird tech issue but its dcs not this module.. its almost like some invisible app opens in the backrojnd at times and itl likke.. the window will be there but i cant click or control i have to click and click like im relselecting the window and the screen "blinks" like i reentered. If it contues to tomorrow im.doinga vkrus test. I ordered my first ever hotad :) and i got thr ww2 assets just for the flak guns and stuff so many add in campaigns. The SC was.. actually disappointing for me a f14 driver. We.ll see but..the Jf17s new. Lotsa stuff. The SC. Adds 4 things.. frankly.
