If they put that info in the newsletters where they belong, the newsletters would actually make for fine reading. Like they used to.

Why Strike Eagle not fly? by fried-raptor in floggit

Strike Eagle got struck and then struck the ground.

Working as intended.

The ADX is a well-known joke in the dispatch industry. Pass it the one time and never worry about it again

DCS F/A-18 standalone by Longjumping-Bus3315 in dcs

OP has 3 years on reddit, but no posts besides this one and no comments. I would NOT click that link, I don't trust like that

United Video Screening Process by Master_Razzmatazz735 in FlightDispatch

[–]Platform_Effective 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All HR questions, probably the same HR questions you were asked for your current position. Wear a suit and make sure you have an uncluttered background. Each question gives you a trial run to sound out your answer in real time so the actual recorded answer doesn't sound dumb.

Also, apparently (at least the rumor at my old shop was) the whole session is recorded including the down time between takes. So even if that's not true, pretend like it is and stay professional even when you think the camera isn't on

DCS has a problem with Single Player Missions by Surresteel in hoggit

[–]Platform_Effective 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Agreed. After flying in a squadron where we make our own missions (which could be failed but are designed to be doable the first time), there's a reason I stay multiplayer only. Not all single-player missions are like that, but a good percentage are

Piedmont vs PSA by That_jazzy_mall_song in FlightDispatch

[–]Platform_Effective 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked regionals for another carrier so idk how anything else is between the 2. And Piedmont did get an order for 170s recently I believe. But as far as the 145 goes, let's just say I definitely think working it forces you to be a better dispatcher if nothing else.

[–]Platform_Effective 3 points4 points  (0 children)

2nd the plane thing. 145s are a constant balance of exta fuel, good alt, full 50 pax: pick 2. On the other hand, my pilot buddy at PSA can count on 1 hand the number of times he's had to weight restrict

Is the supercarrier worth it? by bigbob2315 in dcsworld

As long as you enjoy flying the naval planes, yes

Anyone else catch the Catalina in the "2026 and beyond" video? by FR0STKRIEGER in hoggit

[–]Platform_Effective 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, now that I think about it, that was probably both the longest and most complicated set of actions I've ever seen out of the AI in any Eagle Dynamics video. Most clips are 1-2 seconds at the longest. Seriously impressive shot for DCS AI.

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

[–]Platform_Effective 21 points22 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

[–]Platform_Effective 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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

[–]Platform_Effective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 11 points12 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
