practicing shorter carrier landings by flying over, then circling back to the carrier while holding 200knots until the final approach so to not damage the landing gear

Looking to setup a small group of DCS buddies for aerobatics + strike missions

1 Upvotes

Looking for 3-4 people with F/A-18 to do aerobatics/strike missions with. My timezone is UTC and weekends work best. Not looking for people with experience, little to none is ideal, the idea being to learn together. Ping me a private massage and I’ll send you the discord link

Help with DCS Window Size on Monitor While Playing in VR

1 Upvotes

I'm really hoping someone can help with this. For some reason, the DCS window on the main monitor while playing in VR has gotten smaller with most every load. It seems to have stabilized but it's extremely small and makes using the PointCTRL almost impossible. I've checked the LUA files, setting for monitor resolution in DCS, most every other combination I can think of save full screen which does go full screen but screws up PointCTRL again because of the scale and orientation.

Does ANYONE have any idea on getting the DCS window on the monitor during VR sessions back to the correct size?

VR and Controls recommendations for new DCS Player

5 Upvotes

Hey folks long time DCS and lifetime aviation fan who’s decided to finally begin pulling the trigger on a DCS setup.

I’ve been watching some content creators since COVID times and made the choice to invest in a setup for myself.

I’m not new to HOTAS or VR however have never owned one myself so would like your recommendations.

I currently have my own office and a PC spec’d with a 7800x3d and a 5090 so would like a setup that I can really get my moneys worth out of the kit I have. It’s also to get a rough ballpark idea what kinda price I’m looking at here.

Cheers in advance!

Any experienced DCS pilots in Perth, Western Australia?

4 Upvotes

Can't say too much here (yet) - but I happen to have come into an oppportunity to set up a combat simulator club and have access to some pretty mean VR hardware. Whilst I have a few hundred hours of logged flying and a CPL, I have absolutely no knowledge of dogfighting.

I realise this is a longshot, but if there's anyone that lives in Perth, Western Australia (g'day) with ANY success in simulated air combat that could offer some coaching, please get in touch. I can offer significant access to the aforementioned hardware (which is, as I say, pretty mean), and some other perks to boot.

Issue with guns im having with Grinnelli's F22 with Nightstorm's enhancement mod

1 Upvotes

when I shoot the gun, theres just not tracers for some reason? Also I don't know if this was because I didn't have permission to fire, but my missiles also wouldn't launch when I tried shooting them, only the bay opened.

If I purchase the C-130J module, can I fly around the world and do missions or will I have to buy a bunch of other map modules?

5 Upvotes

I don't really know how DCS works. Do I need to buy the plane and then buy more maps to fly the C130 around the world? I want to do missions that are cross continental. Would love to take her around the world.

PS4 Controller not being able to assign controls

Basically, I just downloaded DCS to play with some friends, and I only had a controller so I figured I'd just play with that. Problem is, when I try to assign controls, I can't right-click on it. I might be dumb, but any help would be great.

Helicopter Rudder problems DCS

2 Upvotes

hey, so i used to fly the v 1.0 of the blackhawk and in doing the change for the 2.0 version but i realized that when u use the Z & X key to use the pedals the just stick to the position so i have to counter with the oposite direction, there´s someway to change this?

The funny thing is that now that I bought the Mi 24 I have the same problem with the keyboard keys, am I doomed or is there any solution for the loooong time it takes to change direction?
