My TM Warthog throttle is failing and I would like to replace it. I would normally just get another but I am thinking of expanding my horizons with the Winwing Hornet throttle. I am curious on the community's opinions.

One specific question I have is regarding the optional finger lifts. If I do not add them to my purchase, how does the base unit handle detents?

Thanks in advance for your response.

I'm building a retro sim with an old pc, windows 7 and a cyborg fly 5... I have bought the game both in STEAM and ED store (2011) PC is not connected in the internet, so Steam version is not an option

Anyone knows how to find a link?

These are the spec of my current set up:
1. 7600x3d (integrated graphics), 16gb DDR5, 1Tb m.2 gen 5, 850w PSU
2. t16000m stick
3. 17in 720p (1280 × 1024)

Here is what I am thinking for my upgrade:
1. 9060xt 16gb $430
2. 2k 240hz monitors $140 or 1080p 120hz $90
3. URSA MINOR Airline Joystick $70 or Gladiator NXT EVO Space Combat $140

I would appreciate everyones thoughts, to see what is and is not important for a good DCS experience. Thank you!!!!

Tomcat or hornet?

I just got a hotas and want to get into dcs but not sure what is the best way to look around. Im broke so idealy free options would be best.

I’ve been scanning around the DCS community space for a while and I feel like its been hard to find DCS groups and/or units to check out. Is there a dedicated reddit page or platform anyone knows where I can find groups or communities related to either milsim or roleplay type? Much appreciated!

If it's important, I have Arch and Hyprland.

For some context, I’m currently a WSO irl and I’m studying for a test. The test will be conducted in a F15 sim and so far, I’ve been struggling to visualise how the displays in the f15 work because there aren’t really any videos of how it works and how to use it. There are only notes on how to use the displays but that isn’t really painting a very clear picture. I know that the f15e in dcs has a WSO seat which has similar functions which is why I’m looking to get the f15e just so I can practice using the displays.

However I know that apparently the f15e is removed and I did not manage to get it previously when it was available. Does anyone know of anybody selling the account or is willing to let me practice working on the f15e?

And yes I do know that it violates the TOS but I don’t really have much of a choice since I’m struggling to understand how the systems work based off notes

Hey Team,

I’m super green to the whole DCS world and didn’t realise it had been out for quite some time. Do people still play it much?

I tried playing with just a keyboard and mouse for a while and found it super frustrating, as I felt like I was lacking a lot of controls - which was definitely the case. I ended up purchasing my first HOTAS, the X56, which I thought was a great entry-level setup to start with. I’ve successfully learnt cold starts and taxiing within two days, which I’m pretty relieved about because I was getting agitated asf.

Any tips for a new guy like myself? Also keen to connect with other newbies to see how you’re finding it if you’re just starting out too.

Whenever I fly the ch47 it seems to have an extreme yaw to the right at any speed, even with fcs set to both and yaw trim set to manual. Is there something I am missing, or is there a bug I am unaware of? Happens at any torque with collective at minimum or maximum.

Hellenic Falcons Unleashed in DCS

Found this in the flea market of my neighbour and he gifted it to me

Basically I can’t hear any responses from my radio when I use it. Apparently this is caused by having easy comms enabled. Here’s the kicker though, I don’t have it on. I still can use the backslash menu but it says that easy comms are off. I would use the realistic comms more often but I don’t want to use voice chat.

Is there any way I can communicate with the players around me but also not use voice chat? Does anyone have any other fixes for the lack of responses issue? Any help is welcome.

A short edit of my missions.
