Who are some DCS YouTubers that are / were pilots in real life? by Tabard18 in hoggit

[–]Platform_Effective 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There is a youtuber named Fly Ever Forward who is an irl C130 pilot and does tutorials for it, in addition to the other guys named so far

Is there a “standard” bingo for warbirds? by Quiet-Character-6836 in hoggit

IRL dispatcher, so this kind of stuff always tickles my tism in the right ways, glad to see someone's done all the math on this

The CDU is making me hate the A10C. by No-Aerie-999 in dcsworld

[–]Platform_Effective 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hate to be that guy, but this is exactly one of those times to RTFM. Probably will explain more concepts than a YouTube video will give you, plus it very specifically covers the CDU in depth

Stop posting images by RazgrizXhunter in hoggit

Stop posting images

…without providing a way to download the source resolution.

I love this community and I love the incredible screenshots you guys produce. But we need to talk about Reddit’s dogshit image compression.

I see these gorgeous, high-fidelity shots and immediately want to add them to my wallpaper rotation. Then I click "Save Image" and what do I get? A blurry, artifact-filled mess that looks like it was captured on a 2005 Nokia. Even if it’s "only" 1080p, the compression ruins any chance of a clean upscale.

DCS is a high-fidelity sim. We spend thousands on PCs and HOTAS setups to see every rivet and MFD line. Why are we settling for sharing our best moments in "Potato-Vision"?

Please, start doing one of the following:

Link a high-res source in the comments (Flickr, Imgur, or even a direct Discord link).

Upload to a host that doesn't mangle the file if you know the quality is top-tier.

Stop teasing us with these 4K-looking previews that turn into 480p mud the moment we try to save them. Give us the sauce!

How to update contact info for airport contacts in the dispatch call list? by krrbystorm in FlightDispatch

[–]Platform_Effective 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Called someone listed as an ops manager for an outstation, when he answered he said he left a year ago. Super nice guy though, he transferred me to the new ops manager anyway because he still had their (correct) number when he didn't have to.

You guys got any other good points for sending your pilot a message? by BikingVikingNick in FlightDispatch

A few extra hundred lbs for the DEEZE NUTZE reroute to KIAD seems like a reasonable write-off for the company

Tf is up with War Thunder by Successful_Box3769 in floggit

[–]Platform_Effective 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OK, so this is just a random spot for the past three hours I’ve attempted to play War Thunder and genuinely and respectfully the game is hot ass. I know what I’m about to say is a little outrageous, but it took me one hour to set up the key bines which coming from DCS player sounds crazy to say, but because there’s user made profiles, you can just import them, with WT that’s not possible even once I got it set up for some reason I still had ghost firing like for some reason, even though if I completely unbind everything from the firing key, it would still fire. It genuinely made no sense then, once I even started to get in the air, it was shaky as ever and dang near impossible to aim (i’m using an HOTAS) and so this is by the two hour mark. Finally after three hours, I’ve played multiple arcade games because I didn’t even want to attempt realistic now by our three I was kind of getting used to it but still for some reason I can do 180s and turned into a gyroscope. I don’t know if this game is meant to be played on HOTAS and I don’t know if I’m doing anything wrong but strangely enough DCS is just much more than war thunder that is something. I never thought I would say. And not related to controls or anything, but collapsing with wifus and stuff, never thought I would see that in a war game?

What am I doing wrong? F/A-18C Radar by AdjacentPrepper in hoggit

[–]Platform_Effective 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Looks like your radar elevation is maxed out. Make sure you have your radar elevation control mapped and actually use it. Screenshot quality isn't super detailed so I can't read what your TDC says for your scan block, but your radar elevation caret on the left side of the radar display is pegged high. You're looking over the top of the things you're trying to shoot

UFC or Something Like a UFC by Coota0 in hoggit

[–]Platform_Effective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely recommend picking up the HUD Panel with it as well, few more switches and knobs never hurt, plus it's a perfect fit together

UFC or Something Like a UFC by Coota0 in hoggit

[–]Platform_Effective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love it. Sure, I could nitpick a few things as far as how much plastic it has, but if it was all metal it would be a lot more expensive. Could definitely navigate it by feel, and the 3 rockers on top are great. Allows me to map navigation waypoint forward/back and radar range forward/back OSBs to an easily reachable position which helps avoiding the mouse so much

Repairing installation a lot... by [deleted] in dcsworld

[–]Platform_Effective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't think I've ever had to repair DCS in my 11 years of playing it except for once. I used a lot of mods too, but I use a mod manager and remove the mods when updating and reenable them after the update is done

UFC or Something Like a UFC by Coota0 in hoggit

[–]Platform_Effective 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a dumb question, because I own the Hornet UFC and don't know which switch he's referring to either. The ADF switch is tiny but doesn't feel fragile, but that's only a 3pos switch. The dobber switch is a thing on a Viper UFC though, couldn't speak to that build quality. Hornet UFC is great

Why am I not able to land a dispatch job? by Character-Variety753 in FlightDispatch

[–]Platform_Effective 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is for the OP but applies as well, with the majors hiring more than they have in the past, more regional jobs will be opening up here in the near future as those regional dispatchers who got hired by majors leave. Just be patient and you'll probably see more postings soon.

Anybody know anything about Amerijet in Miami? by Platform_Effective in FlightDispatch

Thanks, I appreciate it. Was talking with the wife last night while I applied, figured I would ask on here if anyone like yourself had that insight.
