MiGCap Posted May 5, 2023 Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) Yes, and if not done properly and something is technically wrong with the jet, it could be fatal: Two Maintenance NCOs Face Courts-Martial in F-15 Crash | AP News On a proper pre-flight check the malfunction would have been discovered. A/c was F-15C 79-068, I had her on the wing for a photo flight half a year before the accident. Edit: You see, it happened in RL, too. Edited May 5, 2023 by MiGCap

This reminds me of a guy I knew who built a large scale RC plane, and failed to notice during on the ground testing, that the aileron's were reversed. Yes any dummy who knows a lick about aircraft should be able to spot this immediately...but he couldn't. Ironic because he was one of those "I know a lot of stuff about a lot of stuff" kind of guys. So he goes to take off during the maiden flight, 10 feet off the ground the aircraft starts to roll right, he goes to correct...and you can guess what happened. Sorry Luke!! What I mean to say is...this could totally happen in DCS if you're not careful.
AndyJWest Posted May 5, 2023 Posted May 5, 2023 I've got into the habit of doing a visual check for this in IL-2 GB, MSFS, and DCS. Not just for reversed controls, but for a stick or pedals that have decided to disconnect for no good reason, and to ensure that nothing is obstructed. That, and looking cool ? banging the stick into the corners before catapulting in a Hornet. I think they do it IRL mostly to ensure the stick is still attached to the aircraft, after all the previous times it's been banged around...
dburne Posted May 5, 2023 Posted May 5, 2023 Yeah well I learnt my lesson on that one - albeit I also would really love to know the why it happened, that is what bothers me more than anything not knowing the why it happened. And just for the record back in the 90's I flew R/C planes competively for app 10 years. Not one time did that happen to me with them - too much at stake lol. 1
Guest deleted@83466 Posted May 7, 2023 Posted May 7, 2023 I’m on a Bf-109 kick right now, with the new map; I haven’t flown it in a while, so did some quick missions. What a little rocket ship. And the nose to nose performance with this plane, with the slats, really comes through when flying against a Spitfire. I’d forgotten how you get tossed around in the wake turbulence spoiling a perfect shot, or seeing the plane torque around on a sudden power change. I have a well tuned bass shaker + Simshaker, so that certainly enhances it. I probably should be more into the WW2 planes more than I am. As far as DCS is concerned, for a long time I’ve been fixated on the 4th Gen Jets, and helicopters.

DD_fruitbat Posted May 19, 2023 Posted May 19, 2023 (edited) Yep, starting to get excited about being able to try out the Mudhen soon, not going to be long now ? Meanwhile I've decided to sack George and finally get around to learning the front seat myself, and also test the new radar guided Hellfires. Edited May 19, 2023 by DD_fruitbat

Honestly, almost any WWII plane within reason and modeled to this detail level is welcome in my hanger. I am still having a good bit of fun with DCS WWII while still waiting on the dynamic mission generator. Once they release DCG, hopefully sometime in the near future, DCS will have major replayability and basically a career mode. S!Blade<>< 2
jollyjack Posted May 19, 2023 Posted May 19, 2023 Just had a stint with the Fast Mission generator .... indeed needs improvement, any news on that?

BladeMeister Posted May 22, 2023 Posted May 22, 2023 Got my 5800x3d installed with my RTX3090 and they are chewing up DCS Multi Core and spitin out good results on The Channel, Normandy II, Marianas and even the Syria map. I ran GB Normandy day invasion mission yesterday and had 60-70 FPS right down on the deck flying over the beach invasion. My best guesstimate is that this combo is producing 10-15% better performance than my old 5600x and RTX2070 did. The main point and my personal main concern is fluidity, and my Rig is running just as smooth as silk in any flight sim I run. I am good to go for a few years as I am maxed out on my AM4 platform CPU wise as of now. I don't want to jump to the 4 series NVIDIA cards as my RTX3090 is a power hungry Hot air blowing Bitch as it is, and I can't imagine the heat that the 4 series blows out. All is good in Combat Flight Sim land at my house! S!Blade<>< 3

I played DCS for about 2 months multiplayer jets only. And after that I think DCS is a terrible game with awful performance. But I would be happy if they fixed it.https://gpuopen.com/ocat/

Which resolution are you running? Still using a 6700k with a 2070super and I've been thinking about upgrading since some time. Just a bit undecided on what to get. Not sure if I can get away with only upgrading board, CPU and RAM as I am still on 1920x1080

Not sure if I can get away with only upgrading board, CPU and RAM as I am still on 1920x1080 New board, cpu and ram aren't going to be the solution to going to a higher resolution than 1920x1080, if you still have a 2070, compared to hypothetically putting a 4090 say, in your existing machine. Within reason, gfx card is the driving factor in resolution. That said, i was running 4k on a 980ti in il2 before my current soon to be replaced 2080ti Edited May 27, 2023 by DD_fruitbat

But in my current situation with MT in DCS I think my old CPU might be a bit of a "problem" .. also in MSFS the dev info says my CPU is the bottleneck. So I am just wondering what I could expect with changing CPU, board, RAM while staying on 1920x1080 I could always buy a new GPU when the "base" is established.
BladeMeister Posted May 29, 2023 Posted May 29, 2023 Don't do OCAT or multiplayer. I run a 32" Gsync monitor @ 2560x1440 @ 240hz. S!Blade<>< 1
Alexmarine Posted June 3, 2023 Posted June 3, 2023 https://forum.dcs.world/forum/1170-dcs-mig-17f/ The official forum subsection for the MiG-17 seems to have been added. Guess this confirms 3rd party status for Red Star Simulations and makes a 17 coming to DCS a reality Definitely on the "to buy" list

Trooper117 Posted June 3, 2023 Posted June 3, 2023 MiG-17, MiG-19, MiG-21... great stuff, just need that Vietnam map as well
