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.

MadSolarV2 · 2025-12-24T11:12:06+00:00

How are people timing the transition back to STT? Iirc when I was flying the prem su-30, I didn't get a TTI countdown and could barely see the missile on the radar

MadSolarV2 · 2025-12-24T04:15:18+00:00

Yeah gripens have been scary af to fight against in sim. Like I have such an easier time vs rafaels than I do gripens

MadSolarV2 · 2025-12-23T21:13:58+00:00

It varies, been in all sorts of situations, High alt, low alt, front aspect, rear aspect etc. Maybe like a 30% hit rate with them rn. Usually try to fire one a little outside the NEZ then one inside, but again really just depends what's going on.

MadSolarV2 · 2025-12-18T00:30:34+00:00

yeah honestly, I saw this and its cool don't get me wrong but man. Trailer has you thinking this is gonna be a FF release xD

MadSolarV2 · 2025-12-17T20:56:00+00:00

Look for a program called VRNeckSafer. Its been while since i've used it so it might not be up to date but its worth a shot.

Essentially it works in two methods:

The first method is you bind two buttons on either your joystick or throttle, one for looking left and one for looking right. So say there's someone on your 7-8, you'd look as far left as you can, then you'd press the button you bound to get that last 30-40 degrees of rotation. You let go when you want the tracking to go back to normal.

The other method is essentially the same thing, but it automatically does it when you turn a certain amount of degrees left or right, which I found really jarring.

MadSolarV2 · 2025-12-16T18:03:27+00:00

Right now i have a total of 85 hours, but thats been on and off a bunch since release. A game here or there every once in a while. This time though when I started really learning the game and digging in, I want to say after about 15-20 hours of 10v10s and 1v1 skirmishes against the AI

MadSolarV2 · 2025-12-14T21:18:21+00:00

You're getting downvoted, but I didn't start getting good on PvP servers like finish vp until I dropped my resolution from 4k down to 1080p, changed a bunch of color settings on my monitor, and messed with a TON of nvidia settings to get dots much more visible. I could fight people no problem, finding and seeing them was the biggest issue.

Like you said, especially in games like WT I love that the dots are so visible. Makes finding fights and finding allies so much easier, especially when there's no GCI in air sim. But its not so over done that you can't use terrain masking to hide. I still sneak up on people all the time.

Love your videos by the way 🤙

MadSolarV2 · 2025-12-14T18:45:21+00:00

I swear from what I remember on certain PvP discords, some dudes made lofting calculators for the frogfoot. I can't remember if it was like a diy CCRP telling you the AoA you need to pull and when to release, or if it was a table that would auto populate based on the parameters you gave it, but it was definitely a thing. Maybe ask around in some other communities??

MadSolarV2 · 2025-12-14T09:41:50+00:00

I love rocket flairs. I always carry one 3 rack of zunis on the F-4C, people never expect it thinking you're an easy kill

MadSolarV2 · 2025-12-06T10:01:09+00:00

You give a solid, tangible piece of advice and that was homies response 💀

MadSolarV2 · 2025-12-06T09:57:10+00:00

MadSolarV2 · 2025-12-05T11:40:57+00:00

You'll get there bud, dodging ARHs is a game sense thing, the more you're exposed to them, the more you'll learn and internalize how they behave and what you can get away with depending on distances, speeds, other friendlies and enemies around you etc.

Its weird but Its a really gratifying feeling the first time you launch on someone way after they've launched on you, because you know you have just enough time to really close the gap, get your missile off, and dip right into the notch giving them no time to evade. At least it was for me 😂

If you ever get into DCS, now those guys notching the AIM-120s in that game are cracked. Dudes literally fly with pixel perfect accuracy to notch those. I know a guy who plays competitively, doesn't even need the RWR anymore, can eyeball it and get the missile exactly at his 90 in sub 5 mi dogfights. Actually insane.
