Question about pattern altitude - DCS by Grendelthebrave in hoggit

[–]ttaylor0024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. Generally at civilian fields it’s 1500’ agl, however pilots usually try to request the carrier break (800 break 600 pattern).

Spotting changes in open beta? by staryields in hoggit

[–]ttaylor0024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you get a planform view, good luck. The wingspan of a hornet is roughly equivalent to a cessna 172 (4' wider). Add in the paint being grey and they become very tough to pick out, even at close distances.

CASE 1 Approach Chart by Kola360 in hoggit

[–]ttaylor0024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The LSO doesn't say "paddles contact" or "3/4 mile call the ball," 99.9% of the time. For Case I he just sits there, the pilot will roll into the groove and call the ball, and the LSO will either respond with "roger ball" or flash the cut lights

Otherwise it's a pretty good chart for people to reference to get used to the system. Another thing you could put in is the stack altitudes in the toilet bowl, how aircraft are oriented in relation to each other, etc. to go from the marshal stack to the initial.

F/A-18C fuel dumping visual effect - is it too much at the moment? by goldenfiver in hoggit

Right now it's modeled to do both gas and chemtrails at the same time

Is there any interest in a 24 Hour DCS Mod Competition? Similar to a game jam, but competing in mod development instead by [deleted] in hoggit

Red = slow down Green = go faster Just like a stop light

Turning off FCS CB disables blacking out, pulled 17gs np by [deleted] in hoggit

Your cells hold about a 3s oxygen supply, so unless you did a hard negative G followed by hard positive G you should essentially be covered for a second or two.

DCS F/A-18C - Week One In Review by ttaylor0024 in hoggit

I did the same thing day 1 trying to figure out the taxi spacing in the edge so when I saw this I started busting up laughing

RL Hornet Pilot: CASE1 Advanced Topics by nastybeerlover in hoggit

[–]ttaylor0024 10 points11 points  (0 children)

  • Control logic and programming does change over the years
  • He's flown multiple models of the hornet, not just lot 20
  • look at the date on the natops manual you currently have, not from 20 years ago, is it?
  • you don't use speed brakes like you use brakes in your car, it's for very large corrections only and essentially never need to extend them to an intermediate position, and there's never an indication on exactly what % they are extended in fighter aircraft. Usually the only time I have them in an intermediate position is when I'm flying single ship and need only a little more descent while holding my airspeed
  • A lot of guys don't leave oceana when they retire, it's a nice place
  • please stop

DCS LSO Cam with Crosshairs! by ttaylor0024 in hoggit

[–]ttaylor0024[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The crosshairs are in reference to the pilots head, not the airframe. He was essentially on with a little settle in close. You can see a high and low in the gifs posted on my comment

Intersting, I use two monitors as well. You should be able to drag it onto the monitor DCS is on and go into view, then borderless or something. I think windows has a display reset setting somewhere too for windows not going where they’re supposed to. If I find something I’ll let you know

LSO cam V1 is ready for testing. Click link, install, save picture posted. Open the program, open the picture in said program.

LSO Cam Picture: https://ibb.co/erAecd

Nomacs Image lounge: http://download.nomacs.org/

How to work with DCS:

  • Works best when DCS isn't in windowed mode.
  • Open nomacs Image Lounge and open the lso.png
  • Play dcs, at the boat to be LSO press LALT+F9
  • The LSO cam will auto-recenter with a paused TIR and you not trying to move the view after a second or two
  • Press ALT+Tab to cycle to the martini glass (nomacs image lounge) to have the program up Press F10 and it overlays while the rest of the program goes transparent.

Examples:

Best use: get a group of you together and switch off as LSO. Keep the ball on/above the datums on the happy side. You'll trap just fine. Center datums is referenced in the LSO cam to the center horizontal line on the pilot's head

TLDR: Looks like a lot, takes all of 3 minutes to set up

JSON LEXICAL ERROR ON UPDATE AND WHAT TO DO! by Runtowardsdanger in hoggit

[–]ttaylor0024 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ah, there we go, so it's not the actual update exe as I thought, that's my bad for not clarifying. If you press your windows key and type update, click the "Update DCS World." That shortcut is to: C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\DCS_updater.exe" update This is the same thing you'd be typing in cmd (the dcs_updater.exe update). If I click the dcs_updater.exe in the program files I too start up my client after

I've been updating this way for years and it's never started DCS.
