redboot

Thanks for the reply. I ended up ordering the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9, with the notion of upgrading the GPU later if necessary. Hopefully, I can hold off on a CPU for a while. I just upgraded my HOTAS too, so I'm excited to get this bad boy hooked up. Now, I just need to remember how to fly the damn plane.

Hi all. I'm planning to upgrade to a 49" ultra-wide monitor. But I'm not sure if I hav the rig to support it. Can any of you tech experts out there give me some feedback on whether DCS will run well? Also, what would be the best specs for such a monitor? Here are my computer specs. Thanks in advance for any help. Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700 CPU @ 2.90GHz 2.90 GHz Installed RAM 32.0 GB (31.9 GB usable) System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Graphics Card PowerColor Radeon RX 5700 XT 8GB GDDR6 Graphics Card

No, I use it for other gaming and work. Space isn't a huge issue. It's a standard size non-master bedroom.

My office desk isn't working very well for DCS right now for a variety of reasons. Any recommendations for a reasonably priced desk/table option? Any advice for things to look for? My set up isn't too crazy. One 31.5" monitor, HOTAS, keyboard, speakers, rudder pedals. Much appreciated.

Fiddling with the axis settings did the trick. Thanks for your help.

Thanks, but I'm familiar with all that. What I'm trying to convey is that I can't center the ball using trim. Full left trim gets it about half way to the center. Right trim just makes it worse.

I can't figure this out. At every stage of flight and at any speed or altitude, I'm experiencing significant side slippage that even full (10%?) left rudder trim won't correct. I know the engine power pulls the aircraft a bit to the side, but I thought speed would correct most of that so that only a little trim would be necessary. But I put the rudder trim full left and the trim bubble won't center. I figure I'm missing something obvious, but I can't figure out what. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks, so is the best way to do that by using the quick mission function?

I'm fairly new to this module and DCS. I've got a good feel for the basics of flight and want to build some combat experience without getting my ass kicked too badly. What's the best way to start? Server? User Missions? Campaigns? etc.

Thanks guys. I tried both and it did what I wanted. Much appreciated.

I'm new to the mission editor. I'm trying to create a simple mission with lots of enemy aircraft in a specific area to practice using the radar. I set their mission type to "nothing" and create two waypoints for each unit expecting them to simply fly back and forth between the two waypoints...at least that's what I want. But when I start the mission, all enemy aircraft immediately RTB. Is there any way to just get them to hang around up in the sky?

I've owned this module for a few months and have started to feel comfortable with basic flight mechanics. I've decided the next step in my education is to tackle the radar. The problem is, I'm not sure how to go about it. The radar development has gone through several updates and it seems most information/videos are dated and don't include every function. Chuck's Guide may be an exception to this. It's enormously helpful, but hardly a tutorial. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to learn this topic without poking around a bunch of fractured sources from different dates/points of development?

Figured this out for anyone having the same problem. Although it worked fine with the F/A-18 module, a USB splitter doesn't seem to work with this module. The Throttle ends up getting transposed onto the stick and visa versa. Plugging the USB cables directly into the computer ports instead of the splitter solved the problem.

I've noticed in several videos that when fiddling with knobs and switches, one should be able to freeze the camera for a sec to accomplish the task. Is there a particular keyboard command that does this? Or are they just active pausing. I can't seem to hold my head steady enough to, for example, set the TACAN frequency.

My HOTAS bindings (Thrustmaster T16000) keep changing. I'll reset everything to my liking. Save the profile, etc. Then when I come back in to change controls, everything is screwed up. More often than not, it saves my throttle bindings to my Joystick, so, for example, my Trim disappears and I have 2 TMS settings, one on each device. I'm tearing my hair out. User error? Or broader issue? Any help would be much appreciated.
