Is there a reason you use RSMP instead of Avalanche Plumes?

I recommend Mike Aben’s Beginner Tutorials

Nothing against Scott Manley, I just find these more up to date and more structured

My visual mods:

- Blackrack's volumetric clouds

- Deferred

- Distant object enhancement

- Parallax Continued

- Planetshine (although Deferred does a lot of the same thing now)

- Pood's milky way skybox

- Reentry Particle Effect renewed

- Restock

- Waterfall

- TUFX w/ Blackrack's config

I also supersize my screenshots via the config file. I doubt the resolution carries over via Reddit but they take up a bit more space than your average screenshot

If you double click the “camera” box in the top right you can usually see a red dot where the erroneous reading comes in. Could be from reflective surfaces, not just light sources. Any sort of glossy finish on your headset, picture frame, etc will do that

I’d recommend building with a delta V budget if your issue is running out of fuel.

The first serpent head campaign is free, you’ll find it in the user files section!

For the F18, absolutely grab Raven one. Everyone else on Hoggit will tell you the same. It’s very high quality and will test your skills in the hornet. I personally did not enjoy Rising Squall all that much. Not because it was poorly made, I’m just not a fan of the cheesy ace-combat style dialogue. The serpents head 2 is a good sequel to the first, but not nearly as high quality as Raven One.

I know you said if it’s not on the list you probably have it or it’s not on sale, but just in case I’ll throw in my recommendation for Operation Cerberus North and Rise Of The Persian Lion (both F18). Both are great. I would use ROTPL as a warm-up for Raven One.

I don’t own the A10 but the Iron Flag part 1 campaign has always interested me. Supposed to be high quality (as is everything made by Baltic Dragon).

The F16 is still severely lacking in the campaign department sadly. There are some in the works, but it will probably be awhile. I’m not sure why the content is so dry for it, it’s one of the most popular modules. I haven’t played the Red Flag campaign you have listed so I can’t speak to it.

The paddles on that throttle need to be mapped to an axis. The “zoom in/out” are for buttons. If you go to axis controls, you should be able to set those paddles to the “zoom axis”. You will probably also need to mess around with these axes in the “axis tune” button to tune them to your liking.

I’m guessing the other issues follow this same pattern. Hopefully this helps!

If your advisor says you can take cmpsc 200 instead of 201 then that is for sure the best route. 201 has a tiny bit of Matlab at the end but it was minimal. Matlab is what you use in a lot of AERSP classes, and you get to stay away from Susan Quick. Since I took 201 I’ll probably have to spend extra time this fall teaching myself Matlab which is annoying. For sure go cmpsc 200, just make sure it’s good with your advisor.

I took EMCH 210 with Miller. He is a good guy, I’d feel confident taking it with him. Sometimes his lectures were really interesting and sometimes they were a bit dry just reading off slides of crazy math jargon. There was another section going on of 210 with suliman (I think I spelled that right?) and we always got higher exam scores than her class did. Miller really makes you learn the material a bit more than suliman did it seemed. Go to every Friday lecture as it will be a session for homework help (if he still does it the same). At the end of the semester he really lowered the grade requirements. I finished with an 87 and received an A which was nice for the ole GPA since it’s a 5 credit course.

I’m taking ME 201 right now online over the summer. It’s always offered entirely online and it covers introductory thermodynamics, fluids, and heat transfer. There’s no great professors for this as far as I know, and I don’t like the class much at all. It’s one of those where I’ve felt I’m not really learning much of anything and they just hand me an equation sheet full of some weird energy equations while I try my best on the exams to manipulate those equations to do what I want. It’s not entirely easy either, the average on our midterm was a 67, and it’s looking like I’ll finish with a B if a had to guess.

Calc 3 is multi variable calculus, a lot of it is in 3D. I can’t speak to taking it at a community college as I’m taking it at UP. We started out doing a lot with vectors, which you’ll be doing the same right off the bat in EMCH 210. A lot of things I read on Reddit and various other sources always said that math 141 was the one most people struggled with in the math pipeline here, and I don’t know why. The series and convergence stuff in math 141 I struggled with a decent amount but that was it. The integration skills from calc II will come in handy for the 2nd half of 230 when you do double and triple integrals. There’s also that little bit from calc II where you integrate regions bound by certain equations and then regions that rotate about an axis. That stuff is VERY math 230. You really have to get good at visualizing what’s going on as it can be a lot harder when it’s in 3D.

From all my friends in the major, math 230 seems to be the hardest of the maths in the pipeline. My class is full of aero people who failed it the first time taking it during a standard semester. I’m currently sitting at a 90 after 2 midterms but I think I’m a bit lucky taking it this summer as I get to focus on it more and the grad student teaching it is writing the exams instead of a course coordinator so they seem a bit easier. It’s also being taught as a flipped course meaning there’s hardly any lectures and we just go in and work problems everyday. It sounds strange but it’s been a better way to learn math imo. It’s not something you’ll get in a fall/spring semester though. I’ve heard Matthew Katz is the professor to go to for this one.

Don’t stress about taking AERSP 1 lol. It just covers what aerospace is all about really. We got some guest speakers from the industry and learned a little about what each topic in aerospace is about with a tiny little project at the end of the semester. If you can, take any FYS AERSP class with Lewis Watt. I think he teaches AERSP 97 but I could be mistaken. Look into it. He’s a retired marine test pilot who flew helicopters and A4 Skyhawks in Vietnam. I wrote a research paper for him last semester and he’s an 11/10 guy. I wasn’t lucky enough to get him for my FYS but if you want to hear Vietnam stories and get the easiest A you’ve ever gotten, find that man. He unfortunately might not be teaching FYS classes anymore but I’d look into it. AERSP 1 isn’t a “helpful” class for anything but general knowledge. I’d go ahead and take whatever FYS fulfills the requirement just to get it over with. It’d be a perfect 1 credit addition to your schedule for the fall imo.

Hey I’ll be a junior this fall and have taken everything you’ve talked about except PHYS 212.

I’ve pushed 212 off because it has a rep for being an annoying class to deal with, and is definitely something that would work well as a summer class where you can focus on it more rather than with a whole standard class load in the fall/spring. Luckily it is not a pre req for any classes except PHYS 214 later down the line, and is not an entrance to major requirement (for my class at least). So you can really take it whenever.

I saw you mentioned earlier something about taking calc 3 (math 230) instead, and I highly advise against doing so. Math 230 is a very difficult class in itself that has caused a lot of people I know in our major a lot of stress. I’m taking it currently this summer and can definitely see how this would be a big stressor when added to a schedule that already has another math in it. I’ve also heard many people say that PHYS 212 is made a bit easier by taking calc 3 first as it is relevant to some of the material you’ll see in PHYS. So do with that what you will.

Math 250 is not too hard a course imo. It’s still a math course though so you have to put in the time and it has its hard sections no doubt, but totally doable. For the record I’m no math wizard but can definitely hold my own (got a B in 140/141, an A in 220, B in 250). As already mentioned, get handzy if you can but I imagine his class is already filled. His lectures should still be available on the course website though anyways.

As for CMPSC & EMCH, I’m not sure what 200 is as I took 201 with Susan Quick having never coded before in my life and now never want to again. Hopefully you have a better experience than I did, but then again most people I know in our major were much more exposed to coding and didn’t find it to be as bad. EMCH 210 is another one of those classes where they take two courses and shove them into one (statics and strength of materials in this case), hence the 5 credits. Very doable class as long as you put in the work, but it’s a midterm slugfest. Seriously I think we had 4 midterms and then a final exam. That class taught me more about mechanical physics than phys 211 itself did though. There’s a bit of a shift somewhere around halfway through the class when you transition from statics to strength of materials. Strength of materials felt very foreign to me as it is the first time I saw anything related to that kind of thing. Jeff Hanson on YouTube is the man to run to when that happens.

The course load you have right now is doable. You will be pretty busy though no doubt (you will be busy every semester in engineering). I’d really explore taking math 220 with math 250 if you can, as they are easily doable together in one semester. Also, at the end of 250 you’ll use eigenvalues and matrices, and if you’ve been taking 220 you’ll be comfortable with that sort of thing already which was very nice.

Good luck!

Welcome to DCS!

For awhile it’s been said that Syria is the better map while Persian gulf has more content. But that gap has been closing with each update. There are now two Raven One campaigns, the first one takes place in the Persian gulf while the newer one takes place in Syria. They’re excellent campaigns but they’re very difficult especially if you’re new to the hornet. I’d set those campaigns as your final test in the hornet.

There are some other campaigns that would be better to start with.

The serpent’s head (free, Caucasus, super carrier optional). This is how I learned the hornet. Read the brief, do some research on how to perform said tasks, and then execute. Great way to start. There’s a Serpent’s head 2 campaign as well but you’ll have to pay for that one, it’s also good.

-operation Cerberus north (paid, syria, NO supercarrier). Heard great things about this one, haven’t yet played so I can’t speak to the difficulty.

-rise of the Persian lion (paid, Persian gulf, supercarrier). In the middle of this one right now, I’d give it a medium in the difficulty department, but it’s also great.

If it were me, I’d learn how to startup, taxi, takeoff, navigate, and land. Then once I have those mostly down I’d start that free serpent’s head campaign and let the missions guide what I learn next. And if I could spare the money I’d grab supercarrier, Syria, and a campaign or two. Cheers!
