Cowboy10uk Posted October 1, 2022 Posted October 1, 2022 Hi guys, myself and my bro has recently decided that we wanted to crew the F14 together. So we flipped a coin to see who gets which seat and just my luck, I got the Rio seat. So I’m looking for any suggestions for Rio training that you all would recommend. I’ve been looking on You tube and have watched a number of RIO cold and dark setups as well as a 3 hr one by the spice rack which is seriously detailed. However if I’m honest it all seems to be going over my head. I understand in theory what I should do, but in game I cannot lock up a blooming barn door, let alone engage with anything. Starting to seriously think I’m out of my league. How have other DCS RIOs out there, learnt the systems and got to a competent level?

Tshark Posted October 2, 2022 Posted October 2, 2022 I am currently learning this RIO beast in VR. I found a cockpit labels mod so that I can read the different panels during cockpit familiarization. I use Chuck's guide (of course), YouTubes, and kneeboards. Wish there were more kneeboards for RIO basics outside of startup. The learning curve is steep, but flying the f-14 as two player is a lot of fun and teamwork really pays off. 9800X3D (5.21GHz Turbo), MSI RTX 4090 OC 24GB, ASUS ROG Strix X870E-E GAMING Motherboard, G.
