Sankis posted:Are the maps, asset packs, supercarrier etc purely just extra stuff for people to make missions or campaigns with? The flight sim equivalent of getting a cool new train station model for your train set. For the F-14 at least, it has developer made missions on the other maps, which you can only play if you own them.

Stringent posted:Yeah, that's what I was gathering, I just didn't know if there were any hard preferences for AMD versus Intel or whatever, but it looks like that's kind of hair splitting on the top end as I haven't found any consensus. It looks like I can get a decent deal on a used system with a i7 8700K and a 1080ti. Honestly, that might be one of the better ones you could get. DCS is AFAIK very much dependent on single thread performance.

Sagebrush posted:isn't the only difference between the F-14A and B that the -A has engines that are weak and suck and flame out all the time It also has an older RWR that's borderline useless, and only visible to the RIO.

my kinda ape posted:Speaking of which...I got my plaguebux today and I'm thinking about getting a VR headset for DCS/IL-2, what's the best one? Valve Index or is there something else better for flight sims? I'm not super interested in playing other VR games besides flight sims. Just for flight sims? HP Reverb. mashed_penguin posted:Apparently HP has a new headset coming out soon that is some sort of colaboration with MS and Valve so it might end up being good Or wait for this.

mashed_penguin posted:The rona has disrupted most of the tech supply chains it seems. Rifts have been out of stock for the last month or so. Afaik they did, I have a late series one. Resolution still matters though, in the total amount of information you can resolve, which is especially important in flightsims, spotting small objects or reading dials.

Tippis posted:The external factor being the limited resolution available on current VR headsets, which fails to properly convey the necessary detail on many, if not most, instruments. In the props or the F-5, then yeah, VR is still nice. For anything more advanced, not quite as much. I went from OG Vive to HP reverb, and can now read all dials and TID in the tomcat without moving my head. It is great, I haven't been back to 2d since. Still have trouble with the annunciator panel and radio/tacan labels though.

Don't use curves on. On any plane. Unless your joystick is literally not up to the task I guess.

You don't need it, it's a crutch. It's the same thing with fpv quad fliers, spending to much time fiddling with stick curves, which mucks up their muscle memory. Instead you could use that time to git gud. Recoome posted:IIRC the MiG-21 should have a curve. Then the MiG-21 flight model should have one.

power crystals posted:I have also done this in the F-14 by seeing a hostile and panicking into trying to pitch sharply at very high speeds, immediately snapping both wings off and then spiraling into the ground/water while permanently blacked out. I assume the moving wings make it far easier to do that in the tomcat than in a traditional aircraft. AFAIK, they were not really a weak point. It's just that you have a high performance jet with no fbw to save you.

Carth Dookie posted:Caved in and bought the Tomcat. It feels super sophisticated compared to the Mig 21 that's for sure. Good thing Jester can checklist the start up because there's no way in hell I'd remember all of that. If you do a "video game" startup, it's quite simple. (By that I mean skip all tests). Naval aircraft landings are controlled crashes into the runway, you're quite right. And it works very well as a ground attack aircraft.

power crystals posted:Well at least now I feel justified in always using dot labels. I did have the "brilliant" idea of binding view zoom in the RIO cockpit to my rudder pedals' rudder axis so now I can easily snap-zoom in the cases where that's useful (rudder axis and not toe brakes because it auto-centers instead of returning to 0 and 0% zoom is pretty much never desirable). You can tune axis in DCS, so that 0-100 on your controller is for instance 50-100%.

power crystals posted:Yeah, if you do that it just sets the "0" value to be at one end and then one value from that it snaps to your desired value, like so: Sagebrush posted:I don't think it allows an offset like that. You can tune it so that 0-100% is actually 25%-75%, for instance, but I haven't found a way to remap the range to not be centered. What you want is "saturation". I literally used this on a virpil AP disconnect lever, to avoid zoom reverting all the way to 0.

Tippis posted:e: Also, if you ever transition to the F/A-18, you will feel right at home with the Northrop pedals and a throttle response that is best measured in weeks. Famous Northrop bird F/A-18? Or are you saying McD had the same pedal design?

MrYenko posted:The F-18’s heritage is... Complicated. Short version, Northrop designed the YF-17 for the LWF program, and partnered with McD to bring the F-18A to production for the VFAX program instead. Northrop was planning on offering the F-18L separately as a land-based low-cost export light fighter. McD started offering the F-18A for foreign sale, Northrop sued, McD countersued, and Northrop ended up becoming a subcontractor on their own airplane. Tippis posted:Same design with the logo front and centre. Also, I have a distinct recollection that the first release reused a bunch of old art including actual Northrop pedals, but that might have been fixed by now. Fascinating, thanks

Carth Dookie posted:Question for those who know better (and fly better). I've been doing case 3 carrier landings off the supercarrier in the F14. I've gotten the hang of auto throttle (what a useful little tool) and using AWL/PCD mode to get the needles where I need (heh) them so I can make a carrier landing. According to the chuck's guide, the LNDING CHK light should come on at 6 miles. It doesn't, and a controller comes on the radio to ask about my needle position. He usually say "concur - mode 2" or something similar. At 4 miles the "ACL Ready" light is supposed to come on to let me know I can activate auto land. It does not. "Fixed datalink connections with supercarrier. (Note: ACLS is currently off glideslope, we will fix it asap. ICLS is working as intended)" https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=235973&page=2 Seems like ACLS doesn't work properly. Did you remember to flip autopilot to "on" though? And both HUD and VDI switches were on "ACL"?

Carth Dookie posted:Starting to feel pretty good about the AV8 and the F14. As soon as you get "Hot Trigger" light with phoenix selected, you can launch (but shouldn't, depending on range). It will go towards the first launch priority, which is the target with a number 1 to the right of it. You can then follow up immediately by launching on the five next targets, one by one, should they exist. No input required. If you need to specify target, that's a bit more tricky with jester. There is currently no way to make him change launch priority, so you will need to use Single Target Lock. Tell him to lock target based on distance, launch priority number, etc.

Depends on whether the aircraft can load waypoints into it's navigation system, but generally yes.
