#

ye

#

I'll probably try em out

#

ive trialed the f14 before and it was fun

#

viggen is like my favorite plane though so

forest flint
#

And glide bombs

#

And THEN i found out they are not just cruise missiles

#

They are cruise missiles that deploy 10 heat seeking top down attack cluster pucks on arrival

#

This means 20 all but guaranteed kills on any vehicles and all you need to do is guide them to the center of a group

#

Any one have an idea as to what the brevity code for cluster puck cruise missile would be

#

Its not nato so maybe it doesnt have one

#

It is an RC plane

#

Scale model ass size difference

The cm is a slam/slamer knock off

forest flint
#

also chucks guide is like...really bad...??

rugged fog
#

Didn't read the jf17 one

#

What's wrong with it

forest flint
#

random useless info, some of it seems to be just straight up wrong, a lot of it is just pointing at things without any explanation of how to actually use them, very poorly laid out

#

like whjy are you listing the air to air radar usage, air to ground radar buttons, then what the tgp looks like, then its modes, and then the introduction to weapons

#

and then datalink and rwr, which are apart of the radar, are 3 sections after the radar instructions

rugged fog
#

It's weird that the TV weapons are in the sensors area but it makes sense as they have their own mfd pages like the tgp and radar

#

Idk about misleading/incorrect info but I don't know if you learning it on the first day are a good judge of that either

forest flint
#

the signed by name is different every time, i wonder if its pre orders/backers of some sort or just module dev usernames

forest flint
#

oh my god the misiles dont alternate

silent yarrow
silent yarrow
forest flint

left wing, right wing

#

not left right left right

silent yarrow
#

If you have sd10 on both sides they will default left first then right side. So… ???

forest flint
#

no it fires one whole wing first

#

also seems to not drain from the fuel tanks evenly

silent yarrow
#

Hmm. Not when I played last week. Maybe new patch bug? Also, you can deselect the current station to fire off the other station.

silent yarrow
#

Also, if you change modes, i.e. A/A > A/G > A/A it will default back to the initial left wing station even if the last missile was fired off the same station.

forest flint
#

whys it not on ohfr

#

i had it on and then realized it was not the tgp 😭

#

oop now its back to missile feed

Yeah, the 15E's weapons system sucks ass

Not as easy as the 18 or 16 (or nearly the 14 to set up)

The jeff has quite spoiled me

I need to have either no capability or all of it i cannot handle weird inbetween

and the steps for programming the bomb is one button to tell it to pull the current target of either the pod or the radar

Yeah but the objective wasn't active, but the radars were still there I guess

Apparently, while in HDG mode in the Phantom, you can use the AFCS (Autopilot) to steer to a selected heading

Here I've been using it in NAV-COMP mode the whole time and never knew it had a heading hold feature

# whole cove Not as easy as the 18 or 16 (or nearly the 14 to set up)

I find it to be increadibly easy to set up. Its about the same process as the hornet. You can pre program your waypoints, turn them into target waypoints by adding a "." (WP 1A turns into WP 1.A) then just hit one button to assign a jdam or use TOO mode in the targeting pod and also press one button to assign a jdam to where the TGP is looking.

#

what I often do is use the flight plan tool then slot in and switch over my waypoints to target WP's and its all pre implemented

need sum pve servers that have JF-17 and generall other aircraft than f-16 anf f-18

apparently marianas isnt a thing anymore...?

Well seeing as I was just playing a mission on it about an hour ago

forest flint

oh only if you search it up on the store ig

Make sure you have it installed in the launcher

dont have the launcher

You should, it comes free with DCS

marinara sauce is installed so wtf

hushed imp
forest flint

also doesnt sign ijn

I've never had an issue with it in the last three months what

#

Migrate your purchases and switch to standalone for the love of God.

forest flint
#

unfortunately im not broke and standalone is incredibly inconvienent

whole cove
#

Using DCS through Steam is a world of hurt

rugged fog
#

if your not on standalone your wrong

whole cove
#

It's SO EASY

forest flint
#

oh thats why

#

i cant help but notice it says 32 players but the server has 65 as the limit

rugged fog
forest flint
#

being incredibly convienent is quite a big offering

hushed imp
rugged fog
#

what is convenient about steam?

whole cove
#

The website, user files, forums, etc being all online is so much better

#

Brother what

forest flint
#

i click play and it works

#

and it shows my hours and has a wallpaper

whole cove
#

You download the launcher and click play and it works

forest flint
#

no :(

whole cove
rugged fog
whole cove
#

Krill Skissue

rugged fog
#

plus you get an easy button to switch between vr and install and unistall modules from an easy menu

#

there is a reason most people who play dcs a lot use standalone

whole cove
#

We used to have a tool for that, but now it's integrated

rugged fog
#

steam is for people who found the game on steam and have not found out about standalone yet

whole cove
#

Also, you can adjust some settings from the launcher without being in game

hushed imp
#

also you can always remigrate your modules if its more convient for you to purchase them on steam

rugged fog
#

plus trials are goated

whole cove
#

And MILES!

I buy modules on steam, and always use them on standalone bc its easy

OH i remember why i never played on grayflag other than not owning the map its bc i need srs

would highly reccomend reading through the docs on their server

SRS PW is rockeyeblue

forest flint

yeah but i dont want srs 😭

whole cove
#

It's easy to set up and listen on if you watch a few minute tutorial

hushed imp
forest flint
#

bc i do not want a radio

hushed imp
forest flint
#

i do not want to hear people and also open up even more programs to play dcs

whole cove
#

It's super lightweight, adds to A) Immersion and B) Situational Awareness

hushed imp
#

but a lot of good servers require it

whole cove
#

Plus, if you fly with other people in a flight, most times a single person runs comms for the whole group

#

Most servers suggest you at least have it and listen in

forest flint
#

i also do not think srs works in most of my planes last i checkeed

sturdy topaz
#

it works with FC if that's your concerfn

forest flint
#

no it wouldnt work the f-16 or oh-58 or gazelle or f-5 and ive heard it doesnt work on the jeff either

hushed imp

claims it works in every current dcs module

#

and has worked in all modules I have tried

It for sure works in the F-5

but stuff like why they quit are gonna be up in the air for a minute

whole cove
#

This was yesterday

gusty pollen
#

so there is somethin going on lmao

forest flint
#

polychop is a significantly smaller team than razbam though

#

i think only 20-30 people?

#

so the good news is, replacing the full team isnt as monumental of a task as it seems, unless whatever happened REALLY fucked the reputation of PC as a company to work for

gusty pollen
#

iirc razbam and poly chop's was in the single digits

#

iirc polychop was like 3-4 guys

#

with razbam having like 5-6

#

I think heatblur is the biggest with around 20 guys give or take 5

#

But other than that, module dev teams are hella small

#

it's one of the reasons why third party devs for DCS are so fickle cause it doesn't take that many people to quit to seriously hamper things

Real talk...track IR is awesome. It was just the feeling of how small the F/A-18's cockpit was once I VR'ed.

From last week's update:
Looks like we'll never get Mavericks on our F-5E. They all but removed anything on the external model to make it so.

Some of the features are, but I'm pretty sure this solidifies that ED isn't planning on modeling any other model of F-5 other than E-3

It's that time again for "Is WinWing any good"... Thinking about adding functioning MFDs to my setup, but it seems like the only options are Winwing or buy a Cougar and DIY the screen yourself.

Anyone have experience with any of these?

gusty pollen
#

they're really nice

#

we got it without the screens though cause it was a vr setup

#

The ICP is really nice for the viper

#

if I had to choose either to just have the ICP or just the MFDs I would go with the ICP just cause you use it a lot for the viper

#

while mfds are more of a set it and forget it cause of the hotas

stone plover
#

Thanks for the feedback, C.

gusty pollen
#

if you plan on mainly playing other things besides the viper though then the mfds are pretty good

#

The ICP specifically is so good though

#

if you ever get into bms then you'll definetly be using the icp a lot

Super amazing to use

My only hesitation is the WinWing software...that's literally it.

stark torrent

I haven’t had to mess with the software since I first set it up and it wasn’t very hard to setup

stone plover
#

I'm less worried about setup and more about constant connectivity and/or...data privacy

I've seen a bunch of comments and seems like a lot of the data security questions are not valid, just wanted to get folks thoughts on if they had experiences

Looks like I can use the MFDs without SimAppPro as well if I'm so inclined...

Yeah...fuck it.

Can't imagine China would be all that interested in me...

what does archaic racist switches entail

ohhhh the China hat

stone plover
#

lol...not as bad as Coolie

#

but yeah...it's a lil bit

#

made my old man do a spit take when I described it

unborn flame
#

for the A-10 the needed binds are Coolie Hat, Boat Switch, China Hat, Slew for the throttle and TMS, DMS, CMS, Trim, Pickle Switch, Pinky Switch, Both Stages of Trigger and Mode Select for Stick

#

thats the bare minimum

stone plover

right?

#

I've run out of hats

what HOTAS are you on

Virpil CM3 + Constellation Alpha

I can make it work, I'm just gonna move some shit around like the speedbrakes

And the comms menu

was hoping to keep some continuity between the 18 and the a10, but oh well

unborn flame
#

try to keep as much as you can similar

stone plover
#

oh, that's the intent...but A-10 has more hats than I do on the actual stick, so I moved CMS to throttle hand

unborn flame
#

thats fine

stone plover
#

figured TMS and DMS got priority

unborn flame
#

they are the most used

stone plover
#

I'll write it up and you can feel free to tell me where I got it wrong

unborn flame
#

sure thing

#

ultimately it should be bound so it works for you

stone plover
#

true, but I bet you have far more experience than I...so knowing the priority of all of the hats/switches in actual operation is lost to me

unborn flame
#

fair

#

as long as you can remember what you bound everything too and can reach/input it without too much of an issue itll be fine
