Danziger Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 I would like to upgrade from my Logitech extreme 3d pro. Unfortunately, neither VKB or Virpil ever have any sticks for sale...
dburne Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 The F-14 is pretty sweet, and gorgeous in VR. Flew it for about an hour this morning, mainly take offs and landings. First landing took me about 4 attempts, had to go around the first 3 as I just kept floating and floating lol. Even with Jester appears still going to be a fair amount for me to learn, will see.

Are you using DLC for landing? it helps reduce the lift and stops it from floating
Tyberan Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 I really want this module, but the time commitment as mentioned before to get to know it to fly it is my reason for not buying. I bought the F18 last year and was really impressed with it but never got to actually fire weapons in it as I spend a lot of time learning how to operate off the carrier. still the F14 is a sexy plane and I wants it. 1

[CPT]CptJackSparrow Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 I put together a F14 walkman mod with proper trap tunes. Nothing in the list should be before 1987. Use JGSME or whatever manager you use to install. It will pass MP integrity check. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1EnykvGFBMrfmHt3W4vvVYvVr2FOd4OGa 1
Garven Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) Someone made a R2D2 Jester mod. Have yet to try it. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3303886/ Edited March 17, 2019 by Garven 2 1

I bought the F18 last year and was really impressed with it but never got to actually fire weapons in it as I spend a lot of time learning how to operate off the carrier. still the F14 is a sexy plane and I wants it. My initial impression. Tedious cold-start procedure. A lot of things not mappable to controls, which hopefully will be addressed. But easier to fly and fight in than F/A-18, from a pilot standpoint, because Jester does all the clicky stuff. If Jester identifies the bandits, you are good to fire AIM-54 because he is in TWS, and all you need to do is launch the missiles, and I guess they are targeted in sequence. For Aim-7, just use the menu for STT. And in visual range, your ACM modes are similar to F/A-18 (PLM, like Boresight, and Vertical scan, and PLA). Jester's callout during manuevering engagements are a wonderful thing for situational awareness, that we simply don't have when we're alone, and since spotting is THE thing in air combat. To me at least, plane seems easier to get a good landing on carrier, but hey, all of my landings would probably get an F with a real LSO. (I only crash into the fantail one out of every 6 or 7 times, so from a flight simmer's standpoint....?) You know you're going to, so just get it. Even women that couldn't give a rat's ass about aviation think the F-14 is sexy, and the women will be cascading around you like an avalanche, because you fly an F-14 simulation and can talk about Pulse Doppler vs Pulse.???

dburne Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 If you have not yet check out the music whilst in cockpit of F 14. Left shift + m turns music on. Left ctrl + m turns music off.
[CPT]CptJackSparrow Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 And then install my Walkman mod for some proper music.

[CPT]CptJackSparrow Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 You can do that. Make a backup first though. 1

In forum there are several profiles, never tested them myself , so I cannot recommend any of them
Guest deleted@83466 Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Can anyone recommend a decent TrackIr profile for the jets in DCS? In my case, I found that it was perfectly fine to use the same one I was using in IL-2, but with one small modification: I narrowed down the deadzones I have around the center. The reason for this is that I found the smaller the deadzone, the easier it is to use helmet mounted targeting devices, such as found on the F/A-18, the Ka-50, and a couple of the FC3 Russian fighters. I still have a deadzone, I just made it smaller.

What I can tell you is everything is at max on all my sims now but I'm still running a 27" 1920 x 1080 monitor. Now pondering whether to get a 4k monitor or a Rift/Vive from ebay.....which will now be half the price of a monitor. 46 minutes ago, SeaSerpent said: Can anyone recommend a decent TrackIr profile for the jets in DCS?

I have been using the really good BoS profile from John Hardtack. It works very well in DCS - good look around with the ability to explore the cockpit - but is just a bit too 'nervous'.

But for Huey and GB in general I do not need other things than controls. For Flying Circus I guess the Rift would be golden. Easier to identify planes and slower flying would make it amazing. Last time I flew with a borrowed Rift I flew Huey in DCS and PO 2 in GB . Amazing feeling well worth a used Rift price
Rolling_Thunder Posted March 24, 2019 Posted March 24, 2019 Well against my better judgement I went and bought the f-14. I'm a little disappointed the advertised included map wasn't in the alpha/beta/whatever release but I am extremely impressed with the aircraft. Jester is an outstanding step forward in Flight simming. Like Seaserpent said, his, Jesters, callouts help a great deal in air to air engagements. To launch, take out the bad guys then land back on the boat has to be one of the finest feelings in a flight sim I've had for a very long time. With Jester with me all the way the immersion was just increadable. I can't help but think the DCS platform has shot itself in the foot with this release. Who would need or want any other aircraft in the DCS stable? 1 2

Installed DCS but none of my other purchases, just the F-14 and Nevada. Apart from the Persian gulf map there really isn't anything else that interests me. The announced F-8 but that will be a long long time comming. I'm not saying buy the F-14 but if all the planned parts of the module, map, carrier, campaigns will be released, as promised, it certainly is worth the price.
Gambit21 Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 Keep us posted. It's all about the campaigns - not the least of which a good Nevada "Top Gun" type campaign.

With this AI crew member system in place, they can now introduce a bunch of cool two seaters, that would be otherwise too complicated for a single guy to fly. Think of all those cool, two seat, all weather, cold war interceptors. Think of the Mig-31, su-30, Su-34, F-111, Intruder. Then all those two seat attack helicopters. All of them can now be modelled. They just opened a new market. 1

Lusekofte Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 I would actually be more motivated flying fixed wing in DCS if they made A6 Intruder. I haven't tried the F 14 yet, and I am guessing it will be a while
kestrel79 Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 I'm waiting for a huge sale to get more DCS stuff. Right now don't have the time to learn more planes. I have enough to learn already.
