You will probably be fine with a "standard" VR set up. It takes a good bit of dialing in to get decent performance with DCS. The best way to start fiddling is to turn the textures tree's shadows etc all to high setting and work backwards. With DCS the high settings move the render load to the GPU as you back off the job is picked up my the CPU. DCS runs single core so it is already overburdened the more the GPU can carry the better. THis is why the old gold standard 1080ti is still one of the best GPU's for DCS. The more VRAM your card has available the better for you. |

I've bought several planes and all the DCS terrains. I have a newly built PC (11700KF, 32 GB DDR4 3200, 2070 Super), but my weak point is probably my 2070 super. I have a basic stick, Extreme 3d pro. Should I buy a dedicated stick that is plane specific and just get good with that plane?

Should I buy a dedicated stick that is plane specific and just get good with that plane? I had your stick and bought an X56. You can make yours work, but you will be highly dependent on your keyboard. I started with the F-15, and being a basic cockpit, I was able to bind a TON of things using the mode switch. I had a combat mode, nav mode, and takeoff/landing/taxiing mode. It really helped. I started getting familiar with the F-15, then bought the F-18. Holy crap. Now I had a TON more to learn (still do). I thought I'd want to bind everything to the HOTAS again like the F-15, but the clickable cockpit is awesome and I actually really enjoy clicking everything. However, the X-56 really does allow for better control of the jet due to all the joysticks and switches. Target designator for the radar, trim, weapons selection, and a ton more things. I think a legit HOTAS makes it much more enjoyable over a simple stick like the Extreme 3D. I will say this. I'm glad I bought Flaming Cliffs 3 when it was half off in summer of 2020. It got me into the game. However, I'd start with 1 high fidelity jet at a time and learn the systems. Some things transition from jet to jet, but every jet has it's own systems. I couldn't imagine trying to swap between the F-16 and F-18 and trying to learn both. I do want the F-16, but will wait until I have the F-18 down pretty well before I do. Having a air to ground and carrier capable jet is awesome, and has provided a lot more fun than the F-15. |

You definitely don't need a plane specific HOTAS, but Win Wing has Hornet and Viper specific setups that look pretty sweet. I have a Virpil setup that I use for everything. As far as learning...it really depends on how much you fly. I have a bunch of full fidelity models, but I pretty much fly the Hornet 90% of the time, because I spent a TON of time learning it (and still suck). I'm barely capable in the Viper...not capable maybe is the better phrase....and haven't really even learned the Tomcat. I don't fly enough to really retain so many full fidelity modules. When the F15 comes out I'll learn it as well as the Hornet though. Long story short, I'd probably dedicate time to ONE module for quite a while, then branch out. |

Should I buy a dedicated stick that is plane specific and just get good with that plane? Unless you're one of those types who demands exact realism from your cockpit controls (sounds like you're not), I wouldn't bother with plane-specific hardware. My VKB stick is based on Russian aircraft and I rarely fly those. I would very much recommend a more serious stick and throttle as it makes the sim much, much more enjoyable. Virpil, VKB, and Winwing seem to be the most popular for the stuff between full cockpits and things like Thrustmaster, CH and Logitech. I have a mix of VKB and Virpil right now and will be purchasing some Winwing in the future along with probably MFG Crosswind rudder pedals. Point being, the better your HOTAS capability, the less you'll be looking down searching for or remembering keyboard controls. Pick your favorite plane, download Chuck's Guide to it, and learn it first. I highly recommend the F-18. Once you've gotten used to the somewhat intuitive controls on the Hornet, you can set up other aircraft in a similar manner. It took me a long time, but I had about six different control layout sheets for different aircraft and rather than set up the controls as exactly as possible for realism, I tweaked different things so that all of my controls were somewhat close to the Hornet's layout so I could switch aircraft on the fly and not be completely lost, I.E. controls that almost every aircraft have were on the same buttons for all birds, like landing gear, speedbrakes, brakes, comms, map view, turning on my RWR and radar, radar elevation, the list goes on. ETA: What planes did you get? |

I really can't seem to get consistency with the F-18 radar. I've tried changing to a 4 bar scan, change the scan altitude zone, change the width of the cone, how long contacts stay populated, etc. I get on 2-3 nights a week right now for 2-3 hours at a time. Some nights I seem to have good success with picking up contacts, some nights I don't. I am on PVE servers, and I am trying to get bogey dope from the AWACS and not rely on the map. However, I am checking the map to then change settings and figure out what is going on. I went 9-5 last night if I remember correctly, with one 2-0 sortie before returning to base, and one 3-0 sortie. I'd say half my kills were launching aim 120's in visual mode within 10 miles and I couldn't do ANYTHING to get contacts to appear on radar. I'd verify their altitude on the map and everything. Could never get them. It seems like I rarely get anything to show up beyond 30 miles. I had a ton of fun last night, but I didn't have this trouble in the F-15.
ETA: several times last night we'd not have anything on radar with a verified target on the map within 20-30 miles, and an F-16 10-20 miles behind us would have them locked and an aim 120 launched. |

Gotta think of the radar as a bigass flashlight on the front of the jet that you move around. I find it helps me to point the jet directly where i think they are. Such that you can narrow your search and increase the scan frequency and have a better chance of picking them up.

That's what I was trying to show I was doing. Not just where I think they are, but where they actually are on the F10 map. Being that it is a PVE server, the red jets are shown on the map. I was clicking them to check speed, bearing, and altitude. I can have them exactly in the middle of my radar cone at 30 miles and they won't be on radar. |

For the last part of my Winwing F-16ex grip and super libra base in and all hooked up.
I gotta say, I actually prefer the button feel on the warthog over the Winwing, but the base is much nicer. I did a few hours in the Apache last night and it was much easier to control the thing. The added side buttons of the ex will make CPG a little easier. Overall I’m happy with it. |

I started with the t16000 combo set up and track IR. Now I have a huge monitor,Virpil HOTAS, 3 MFDs, etc. if you do download come check out our discord. Link is in the YouTube video posted above. In fact anyone looking for a group to fly with can come check us out. I lead our warbirds section and our competition team but we have a dedicated a10c group as well. We run 4 missions a week. One for jets, helos, warbirds, and the liberation campaign. We have about 12 servers that are always running 24/7. Some are for warbirds, some for jets and helos. There is a lot of stuff to fly and most of our servers are dynamic and some are for training. |

Ok, I need a bit of help. I have seen several members that use VR mention binding their mouse click to their hotas and using the little crosshair/mouse cursor that tracks with the VR. So my question is what is the command I need to search for in controls so that I can bind it. I'm flying an F-18 and can't seem to find the command anywhere.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Alaskanforfreedom: Lol yeah I said they bought them out They were always ED. They were split off from ED as a proof of concept on how 3rd parties would work. Once there were enough 3rd parties they got reabsorbed. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Alaskanforfreedom: I feel like the vipers work flow is a little easier. Agreed, especially manual steer point entries and flight plans. About the only thing the Hornet has over the Viper is more weapons appropriate for maritime strike, and an easier (for me) cold start flow. |

That's funny, I actually prefer the cold start in the Viper, but pretty much everything else I find more intuitive in the Hornet. |
