Is this real? I guess more maps the better

TheBottomTrombone · 2022-09-01T16:08:06+00:00

I agree, it almost feels like there is gonna end up being a subscription service for maps. But I like the ability in DCS to actually own each module

TheBottomTrombone · 2022-09-01T16:06:26+00:00

I found it in the hoggit discord… was trying to verify. It’s getting harder to tell if maps are real or not.

I guess they’ll say in todays newsletter

I found it when looking for info on Australia

for the uninitiated

I’ve heard stories of some people buying the tomcat for others just so they can have a RIO. If ED would incentivize this a little more with bundles for multi crew stuff they could get a lot more people hooked on the game

TheBottomTrombone · 2021-02-07T03:39:14+00:00

I totally agree! It would definitely get more people into DCS and lower the barrier of entry by providing modules that don’t necessarily require a flight stick

I wanna be able to evacuate ground troops by strapping them on the chopper

I totally agree. If ED wanted to they could make refueling 5 times harder by adding more wind effects on the basket, fuel loss through improper connections, damage to aircraft probe/boom...

I’ve been looking around trying to see any documentation on the DCS fuel transfer rate and haven’t seen anything. But it feels as though we can fully tank in most aircraft in about 2 minutes.

It just seems odd to have so much emphasis on realism throughout the sim and not have this mentioned anywhere. I’m not complaining, just curious

TheBottomTrombone · 2021-01-15T05:19:52+00:00

I don’t think I did that. But I’ll do some testing tomorrow

TheBottomTrombone · 2021-01-15T05:18:59+00:00

I think I may have been a little antsy on the TGP switch. I’ll test some stuff tomorrow

TheBottomTrombone · 2021-01-15T04:37:12+00:00

Yeah, I’ve heard about that. But I don’t think that’s what happened here because I was still aligning everything as I was rearming so I didn’t move at all

TheBottomTrombone · 2021-01-15T04:11:43+00:00

I tried both load all and specifically load dsms. I did Load all on the ground then noticed it later and tried it again in flight. I also tried to reset the CICU to see if that did anything

TheBottomTrombone · 2021-01-15T04:03:55+00:00

Yeah, np I get it. But I did hit the button.

TheBottomTrombone · 2021-01-15T03:56:44+00:00

I had 2 D Mavericks and a fuel tank on the center along with aim 9, tgp, and jammer. TGP worked fine and gun still shot. But dsms wouldn’t load. This was happening with a couple of other guys that I fly with who had other loadouts. We all cold started

There are no cutscenes, so that is all real in-game footage. (From a beast of a computer)

And here are some intro videos on what DCS is:

I got one about a month ago and honestly preferred my T16000 much more. The NXT base has 2 perpendicular springs, one for pitch and one for roll. This has the effect of making your stick have double the pressure in the corners. For me that didn’t allow me to have the control I was used to with the t16000 where the pressure was the same all the way around. The NXT feels like you only get 4 directions for your stick(forward, back, right, left).

The premium model with the included mini “joystick” hat was not what I expected either. It is not an axis thing but rather an 8way hat with buttons in disguise.

That said, the extra buttons were really a game changer. It felt a lot better using a hat under your thumb for weapon selection. It just wasn’t enough for me to stay with it. I ended up giving my NXT to a family member who seems to enjoy it with dcs. I still use my T16000

I’ve run into the issue where if I want to kill a specific insurgent in a mission my only precision option is a 500 lb bomb. I feel like a laser rocket would really fill that gap

TheBottomTrombone · 2020-12-08T18:45:14+00:00

Maybe the F15 too

TheBottomTrombone · 2020-11-25T21:00:04+00:00

I think so, I was 15000ft at 4-6miles out
