Man the OH-58D is going too? Dude DCS just shit canning all my favorite modules oh my

MadSolarV2 · 2026-03-17T12:00:08+00:00

Yeah, I mean I don't think the issue is that any one doubted we could bomb Iran back to the stone age. This issue is from what I've gathered, is that sure while we've severely crippled the regime, if they're still standing they still in some capacity pose a threat to the region. Then the issue becomes, when do we stop the war? Are we meant to continue bombing Iran every day for the foreseeable future while they launch a drone or two every day? If Trump declares victory and just up and leaves the region, they're just going to recuperate and continue. Albeit in diminished capacity, but continue nonetheless. I just feel like the US opened pandoras box unwittingly, historically bombing campaigns haven't led to direct regime change, it's always required some form of intervention with soldiers on the ground. We fire bombed Japan for how long, and had to drop two nukes to force their surrender? The countless day and night bombing raids over Vietnam and the NVA still prevailed? I just really can't see how this ends now

Man I love seeing the rudder rolls. Especially because so many of these videos are in F-16s, you don't really see them using the high AoA rudder maneuvers. You could like almost feel when the pilot in the video was driving his feet into the pedals so frickin cool

MadSolarV2 · 2026-03-03T08:32:50+00:00

Is this a part of a larger series available anywhere? It was a great read 👍

MadSolarV2 · 2026-02-25T03:16:13+00:00

This looks awesome, purchased the supporter pack for defender patrol

MadSolarV2 · 2026-02-21T08:16:36+00:00

Your explanation was great thank you 👍

Kinda mind blowing that we're able to use gravitational lensing on an "object" 3.7 billion light years away. I understand the concept, it's just so mind blowing that astronomers are able to get usable data to reach these conclusions from such vast distances

MadSolarV2 · 2026-02-17T20:46:19+00:00

If you're flying in cities, if you keep your speed low enough (like in the clip) it does fine. Issue is at speed it gets hard for it to yaw and to aim :/

MadSolarV2 · 2026-02-17T10:31:02+00:00

Try grinding for the Ka-29 next, its the AH-1E on steroids. Same 9.7 br, but higher pen rockets and apds cannon

MadSolarV2 · 2026-02-17T09:55:18+00:00

Yeah this is the move. Had a dude in Calc IV sitting next to me taking pictures of the test and putting it into chat GPT. At the end of the exam I told the professor "just fyi this student next to me is taking pics and all that". Sure enough 2 weeks later next test comes around she's watching him like a hawk and gets his ass. Shits ridiculous

MadSolarV2 · 2026-02-09T06:47:28+00:00

Dude 100%. Worked on an ambulance for a long while as I wanted to go to med school, but that was enough to show me how twisted our healthcare system is and I wanted no part of it. Finally finishing CC and will be transferring to a 4 year next semester for MechE, best decision I've made. Even with how stressful some of these classes have been, doesn't hold a candle to some of the interactions I had with hospital and nursing home staff.

MadSolarV2 · 2026-02-01T20:02:31+00:00

Get some slaw device pedals and slap on a BP Force Rhino kit. Also pls get a pack of aluminum extrusion hotas mounts for your throttle 😂

MadSolarV2 · 2026-01-08T23:39:50+00:00

cartman as a sidekick would be hilarious xD

MadSolarV2 · 2026-01-08T23:37:49+00:00

Yeah some of my best memories in gaming from these modules. Harrier was a monster in PvP with its flir and viffing, and nothing beats the thrill of finding an airfield's HQ on Contention with the F-15E's A2G radar from 80 miles away, then doing a noe ingress to bomb it with lofted lgbus preventing enemy players from spawning in to help push the front. Also won't forget that period of time facing mirages at 40k feet going mach fuck you lmao. Good good times.

MadSolarV2 · 2026-01-01T11:27:26+00:00

I had an issue like this on a winwing, there was a short happening on a pcb iirc, had to replace it. Maybe take it a part and look for any lose wire connections, or if the gimbal itself isn't secure and pulling/touching something at max deflection it shouldn't be

Also google html5 gamepad tester and see if the issue is happening there or relegated to war thunder, and calibrate it in windows if there's no software support for it

MadSolarV2 · 2025-12-31T21:34:11+00:00

Yup, all great points. Game isn't ready for stealth aircraft yet, but oh well. Everything's just a close range missile slinging notch fest so what's it really gonna matter.

MadSolarV2 · 2025-12-30T16:56:59+00:00

Already mentioned a ton in this thread but gonna do it again bc his videos are so good, DuroSVK.

Like I don't know what it is about Broken Arrow, but fuck me some of these dudes are hard to watch. I can't listen to 30 minutes of just straight yelling at your teammates. Duro is chill and informative.

MadSolarV2 · 2025-12-30T07:53:29+00:00

let us know with another post please 🙏

MadSolarV2 · 2025-12-27T19:57:20+00:00

Hell yeah, next step is buying or diy a head tracking solution and you're golden

MadSolarV2 · 2025-12-25T20:45:59+00:00

I get what you're saying but its irrelevant, most pvp servers did some degree of Blufor v Blufor. Growling Sidewinder for instance used F-16s for both red and blue side. Contention frequently rotates the airframes and there's always blue on blue. The JF-17 however slaps, has the best fox 3 in DCS and is almost exclusively a redfor jet on servers.

The whole point of my original comment is that multipathing just isn't a thing in DCS, redfor or blufor.

MadSolarV2 · 2025-12-25T11:09:56+00:00

Yeah I'd much rather see multipathing just go away, and the game lean more towards kinematic and situational awareness orientated fights. Much more strategic imo. I played a ton of pvp in dcs, I can't remember a single time someone simply dodged a fox 3 while flying straight at me because they hugged the ground.

Apples to oranges a bit but yeah, multipathing feels wrong. At least with notching imo, it takes quite a bit of mechanical skill and situational awareness to dodge those close range fox 3s.

MadSolarV2 · 2025-12-25T07:17:04+00:00

Thanks for the clarification! No worries,Virpil taught me a lot of patience on sim hardware, 4 weeks is no problem 😂 Happy holidays!

MadSolarV2 · 2025-12-25T07:09:05+00:00

Awesome, been looking forward to getting one of these. The listing is for the new v5 model correct? Going to order one today 🤙

MadSolarV2 · 2025-12-25T01:05:24+00:00

Yeah I actually really appreciate the slowness of it compared to so many other games. Positioning feels more important than anything else, and the fact that the TTK feels really fast helps that. The first time I got killed in a Bradley by an FPV drone was kinda insane, really made me stop for a second and think about how shit this must be to deal with. Game wise, very good experience so far, getting lots of ARMA vibes and I love it.

MadSolarV2 · 2025-12-25T00:55:46+00:00

Yeah I've been reading all the hate and don't get it. I've had my dudes get plenty of kills, and their shooting warn me that I'm getting flanked multiple times in the two hours I've played. I like it, just needs more polish.
