Can't fly until next year some time Hard to say, the only servers with the new DM are terrible Airquake-servers, just no fun flying there. I will wait until normal servers get access to the new DM.

Arthur-A 474 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 I thought that the DM is something in the client side. Why do you need to connect to a server to get it instead of updating your game files? Link to post Share on other sites
CanadaOne 2043 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 The F-18 gun sound got an update. It's nice! Sounds angry. Like a mini Brrrrrrtttt! My Harier gun, however, still sounds like someone rattling a stick inside a tin can. Link to post Share on other sites

CanadaOne 2043 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Oh dear... the humanity. You can lock on to one poor underpaid shmoo from miles away in the A-10C II and give him the good news with one of those little laser rockets. I'm trying to see if I can kill the fuze on the warhead and use it as an impact drill but haven't had any luck. Be interesting if you could use the Assasinator-10C II as a zero collateral damage device. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

CanadaOne 2043 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Just got my headphones with a mic from Amazon. God bless that needlessly-polluting-one-day-delivery-for-impatient-people option. Re-installed Voice Attack on Steam, which I haven't used since 2017 apparently, and it's fantastic with DCS. I cleared 10 buttons off the HOTAS in half an hour and even got some fancy macros done up. Managed to slew the MFD targeting with it, but that's a work in progress, the movements aren't very precise. Was seriously thinking of a Warthog because of all those hat switches, but no point if you spend the $10 on Voice Attack and you have a pair of headphones with a mic. There's even a free option that gives you one profile. https://voiceattack.com/ 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I'm still working off just one profile. Haven't set up for different planes yet, so it's a bit of a mess, but still very cool, all the basics are covered on the one profile. Might not be proper military cool vernacular, but it's easy to remember: "Center - F Two - F Three - F Six - Map - Labels - Gear - Flaps - Airbrakes - Panel Left - Panel Right - Goggles". And a few macros like "Import", when copying JDAM coordinates from the map into the Harrier. Better than holding keys: R-Alt+R-Ctrl+8. I'm not that handy with complicated button logic crap, but after a few minutes of tutorials, you're making new voice assignments in seconds on the fly, while running the game; hit pause, drop out of DCS and into Voice Attack, which is open in the background anyway, make the command assignment, and then back to the game. This is great because you can work out what you want while flying and fighting. It's very cool. There are a bunch of tutorials, this one is not bad. (You don't have to make it talk back to you like it's doing in the video. It can just beep or make no sound at all.) Edited November 15, 2020 by CanadaOne 1 Link to post Share on other sites

AndyJWest 2776 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Sometimes, the most effective swearing is when you don't actually use swearwords at all, but make it seem like it. 'Fiddlesticks!' was a favourite of my father's, which I've picked up on myself. It works particularly well in a context where everyone else is 'F'-ing away with abandon, since after a time nobody notices the real swear words, and a bit of originality stands out. Though if you really want the maximum effect, invent your own swear words and phrases. 'Horse biscuits!' sounds vaguely obscene, though nobody will be able to explain why. Alternately, you can learn from a master, and make it all so undecipherable that even the censors have to let it through... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Hoots 378 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 "He's a complete custard" is a happy combination of two swearwords into a handy, seemingly jokey, insult. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

A very rewardable experience once you start getting the hang of it. I was in North Carolina once, many, many moons ago. You're right, the A-10 can be very rewarding/fun, but I was having a lot of trouble with it due to HOTAS limitations and a small brain. But over the last few days with headphones and a mic, and Voice Attack, I was able to free up a ton of switches on my HOTAS throttle and put that zoo of DMS/CMS/Coolie switches there. I'm at the point where I can have a good scrap and can handle the laser rockets much faster than before. Have yet to launch a Maverick. Still watching Ralfidude and Grim Reapers tutorials. They help a ton. 3 hours ago, CastorTroy said: The Heatblur F-14b is a awesome module.

I barely do any A2A, it's all ground pounding in my flights, so the F-14, gorgeous as it is, isn't first in line for A2G action. But if it ever hits half-price, I'll buy simply because it's so damn cool. Link to post Share on other sites
