Been doing nothing but Case 1 recoveries, and dogfighting MiG's since it came out. I think it's the best module yet, and it's still only in Early Access. Once they get a few of the Flight Model kinks ironed out, and add in more weapon-system functionality, it is going to be a beast. Can't wait for the Tomcat next!

Either STT with the AIM-7 is a bit wonky, or i don't quite have the radar figured out yet - In the 4v4 instant action mission my radar was cycling between 3 of the 4 MiG-29's while my first missile was in flight

I'm waiting a few months. It does look sweet though. I'm enjoying the Harrier in the meantime. |

First module I haven't per-purchased in the 3 years since I started playing, and I was extremely excited for the Hornet. I'm tired of the whack-a-mole bugs in DCS and I'm just taking a big ass break from it all. |

Here's a few pics of Wags walking me through "not getting killed" in the F-18 last year at E3.
ETA: Even Claude Gillemot was killing shit in the Hornet.

Here's the demo we ran at the Thrustmaster booth at E3. We were using the new TPR rudder pedals and the new Hornet Stick.
We had a guy who said the Hornet stick was vapor-ware, when he was actually using it to play the demo. The look on his face was priceless when I told him he had his hand on one. I didn't get a picture of him though, or it would be on Thrustmaster's facebook page.

I bought F18 over the weekend and was able to land on the carrier and air refuel both on my second attempt. VR is awesome for depth perception on stuff like that. Now I just need a 2080Ti to replace my 1070.

VR is amazing to play in but it has a few limits. Reading displays is tough and spotting aircraft in the distance isn’t as easy. But when the JHMCS drops it should be rather epic.

Im still trying to get my TM WartHog Hotas, Rudder Pedals, Cougar MFD's, TrackIR to play nice together! :D
There is so much more controls today than back in the old days of Falcon 4, EuroFighter, Janes Combat, etc sims. I do have my old f16 FLCS and TQS somewhere. Need to find those and do the upgrade on the TQS. I am not a huge fan of the Warthogs throttle at all. But as it is right now, I just dont get the feeling I am getting max thrust from the plane with the current throttle settings. Full mil power only gets me to like 300 or so. Afterburner only maxes me out around 500-550. And apparently, I have no weapons controls mapped to the HOTAS system. UGH! |

Maybe it's just me, but the F18 seems so antiquated with its cockpit systems compared to the F16 or maybe I'm just doing it wrong. 20 years of Falcon 4 muscle memory certainly isn't helping.

Look up warthog "sticktion".
Also, the way the warthog base is designed causes a very distinct "center". |

I like the VPC Virpil gear quite a bit, but I think I like the VKB just a little better. It's a little more delicate & precise, and I really like how the gimbals work. But both are great sticks & gimbals. Definitely next-gen beyond the Thrustmaster offerings. More expensive too! Buy them when you can. They sell out fast when they become available.
I actually haven't played much DCS before the last few weeks. I've owned several modules for years, but I only really flew around casually in the quick missions and was honestly a bit intimidated by the complex mapping I would have to undertake to properly fly them. Sort of a "I don't want to start, until I can do it right" mentality. I've have spent much more time playing the current IL2 offerings, but I got inspired by this YouTube video to finally get going. Great action between the 6-13 minute marks in this clip. So I've finally started investing the time to learn in-depth and I'm having a blast in DCS. I started with the Mirage 2000, learning cold start and now working on the radar modes and missile combat. Lots to still learn. I asked my wife for the F18 module for Christmas, but we'll see... she'll probably get me the L39 because she won't be able to tell the difference .

its been a learning experience for me. just now learning about acm mode and other stuff. i thought the only way to radar lock something before was to select it on the radar lol.
what happens to me a lot is i get so far into a menu I dont know how to get back out. like ill get into a radar mode that I dont know how to back out of so I can increase my scan range for instance. this is usually when Im messing with the sensor switch on the joystick |
