Does anyone have a tutorial video of how they navigated to the waypoints in the first campaign (Nevada)? I quickly get lost as soon as I'm airborne. I can follow the aircraft, but they eventually land and I'm left in the air alone. Looking at the waypoints on the kneeboard doesn't really help either.

All: I've gone through the navigation tutorial in the Georgia map and thought I could handle the first mission in the Nevada campaign. I can't understand it. There are no way points like in the A10 that are programmed into the navigation system, so I have to do VFR but it's very hard to spot those planes. I tried looking at the mission planner, but I have no idea what LSV-R 135 or any of that means. How would I navigate to each of the way points? Also, how do you interpret what the pilot is saying to you?

That was expensive! I got that manual in spiral bound and the P51 and F5E manuals as well. Cost a LOT of money!:thumbup:

Yep, back-patched and FPS is back up again in VR mode. This is a problem with F5E module with Nevada map. Not sure what happened there.

Please tell me how you rollback? I'm experiencing the same issue in DCS2.0 Alpha.

How can you pull 16G when the max load on the plane says 7.5G? Does that mean the F-16 can pull 18Gs (2 * 9G)?

Yes, I did this. But the keyboard part is still set to "View" for example for the F3 key. I'll try clicking on it with the mouse and see if that works.

You mean with the head tracking cross?

I'm having a hard time with selecting options for the UHF radio for selecting menu options when you want to talk to tower. I'm using VR headset so I can't find the F-keys right away. I was looking to change my Warthog flight stick POVs to assign specific F-keys so I don't have to worry about looking out of my headset. In any case, this does not work as DCS will not recognize the assigned key when the communication menu is displayed. Is there something that I'm missing?

Don't misunderstand. When you first takeoff you will have the stick all the way back to establish stability. Once you start to feel the plane bobbing forward, you will gently push the stick forward until you are in the NEUTRAL position. He does NOT mean pushing the stick forward from neutral!

OMG! I can't believe it was this statement all along!! I just took off 4 times in a row without crashing!! :thumbup:

Nice flying Fish. Too bad, I dont have the hang of it like that yet.

Yes, this is my main drawback. I have everything at default and it's overly sensitive. The rudder pedals are the main thing for me that needs time to balance correctly. I'm using the CH Rudder pedals. The WARTHOG HOTAS is fine at default.

You still have to fight the tail as it bounces up and down off the runway. If you keep the stick in neutral after about 70mph, then you will be fighting the bobbing until the tail finally settles clearly off the ground. By that time, it's time to pull up and take off. -M

Agreed. It's very very challenging, but man, you are in a high adrenaline situation for sure! I love low level flying! I wish P51 has some low flying chases like that when fighting. That would be crazy! Also want to see some fancy flying in the cloud tops!
