I haven't flown a serious flight sim since I last played LOMAC sometime over a decade ago...but now I have an actual HOTAS setup (X-52) and DCS World looks fantastic! I picked up FC3 on sale to fart around in some simpler planes to figure out how to fly and shoot again.

Sign up for next week's mission is up. I saw in this thread we have some newcomers with FC3 packages, so I have two slots for F-15Cs in there for you guys. They are not vital to the mission, but will help.

Oh sweet! I'll try to get some hours in before this mission so I can signup without looking a fool in the F-15. Especially with the bad weather ;)

Have you ever done the ILS on the F-15? It's not super hard at all, but looking for the right channel with the unclickable cockpit takes a bit. It will be assigned as a landing waypoint in the mission, so it will be automatically in the cycle. With ILS, you can nail the bad weather landing just fine!

Just landing is something I need to practice! Snapped my gears off last time oops

Goon mission furball from yesterday at 16x speed.

I'm in this furball! I shoot a missile at 0:19 in the center that makes a MiG dive down.

This was my first goon mission ever, and pretty much my first real mission in DCS (only 12 hours played), and I had a ton of fun! Goons are great wingmen and teachers.

Neat video! You watch me take off for the first time in an F-16, and chase a MiG-29 away :toot:

There was just a sale that ended in July, so it might be a month or two before the next.

Definitely wait to buy modules when they're on sale!

You should get the map for sure. Persian Gulf is much better than the default map and it's used just as much in multiplayer.

It's just the military flight sim community in general. It's chock full of nazis and chuds and MRAs and other turds. And they just spring it on you when you're least expecting it!

Maybe you're just looking for a quick tutorial on starting up the A-10 when bam:

SA is the only forum on the entire internet without that sort of poo poo

There's no way this guy isn't a sexual predator of some sort. His videos make me so uncomfortable.

It's too bad because he spends half the time of his 60s videos doing creepy jokes but the other 30s are well done and informative.

Is it possible to fly a DCS helicopter with a standard hotas, without pedals?

The huey is no problem if you only have a twist stick. The apache sucks rear end to fly without pedals. They mentioned on adding an auto-torque feature to the apache in the future to help with this.

Why do all Viper throttles have that huge wall/ bracket on the side? What is it’s function?

You have to lift the throttle to move it into the afterburner stage and that's what the side part emulates

Don't know why they went with that song over this one. Maybe in the next video? It lines up so well
