No yaw or roll trim... No wonder the darned thing rolls! :-) I have bought the MiG-21 in DCS. I guess I have to give it a go! ;)
-
Really? I had no idea... What about rudder trim?
-
When flying real aircraft, and there's a unwanted roll, you use the aileron trim to cancel it. ;) It can be either your joystick that is slightly off center, or your rudder. Like the poster above stated, increas your deadzone, or do what I would do, trim it.
-
Yeah! I don't know why DCS does that? I have never seen a big black exhaust cloud when you come out of afterburner, IRL.

Option to set world scale / Enlarge / Reduce (airplane)
Goblin replied to misoswan's topic in Virtual Reality
I feel the scale is spot on in DCS. I use a Oculus CV1. I do need to move the virtual head slightly forward in some aircraft, or I will look inside the seat sometimes, but this is not due to scale. In Aerofly FS2, which have a scale adjustment, I needed to reduce the scale by 10%. A scale adjustment shouldn't be that hard to implement in DCS...? -
Bunyap said, in the vid, that Cobra has some texture work to do on the Viggen... I think I'll keep my pitchfork directed at you! Now get back to work! :)
-
Actually... My theory, and I can back this up with evidence, is that the AI in HL3 got to be so advanced that it became aware of its own existence and are now developing DCS modules, calling itself Leatherneck. I mean, do Cobra seem human to you..?

Sun-blinded at night!?
Goblin replied to TAW_Impalor's topic in Release Version Bugs and Problems (Read only)
I do! In the summer. But then again, I live north of the arctic circle ;) -
And none of the projects have been abandoned... Isn't that great? :)
-
LoL! That would keep me busy while waiting for the Viggen to be released all right...
-
Translation of the book, or the transcript? :) I can help with the transcript. Note that this is translated from russian to swedish to english ;) Soviet Controller: He lost speed, huh? Flagon Wingman: He was descending behind the Viggen. We increased the distance and he (Zjiguljov, the Pilot of the fateful Flagon) was above. He passed me and dove in behind the Viggen. He went out, and then this! I saw it all, even the splash. SC: You were both descending together? FW: I was at 200m altitude. SC: Are you sure about 200m? FW: No, he was lower, but I did not go below him. I was not below him, and the target was even lower. SC: You got the altitude 1000m. (Understood as a restriction) FW: (No reply) SC: What was the approximate target altitude? FW: The target was lower than I. Probably 100m, perhaps even lower.
-
Don't forget that LN was "forced" to announce the Viggen after the Steam leak. I don't think they intended to say anything until just prior to release.
-
Got the new book "Swedish Aircraft during the Cold War"... Not all about the Viggen, but a very interesting read. The 7.july 1985 Flagon incident is described here as well, with a transcript of what the Swedish Radio Surveillance heard the surviving Soviet Flagon pilot report back as he loitered the area and RTB. Don't know if this book makes the waiting harder, or easier..? ;)
-
That's epic, man! :) I have seen my share of Viggen airshows, both as a civilian living close to F15 in Söderhamn, and as a conscript at the same airbase. Nothing like it! A true crowd-pleaser. I remember, before airshow restrictions, how they used to start the Viggen show by having everybody look at a SAAB Safir SK50 slowly making its way towards show center... Then.... WHAMMO!!! A Viggen, low level from behind the crowd. :D As a conscript mechanic on the AJ37 I also got to see some tactical flying at the roadbases. There we were, filling and arming a Viggen, when all hell breaks loose and 3-4 other Viggens overfly the base in a coordinated attack. Those were the days. The memories... Waiting for the DCS:Viggen is tough!

Lynx Cockpit Utility Brick "Button box"
Goblin replied to LynxDK's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
I hear ya, LynxDK! I built a ThrottleBox http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/4266967/1/Building_the_ConTrollR... And while I lost count of all the money I poured into that project, I can say I was a lot more expensive than $300 :) I live in Norway, but I bought lots of hardware on ebay from asia and some parts from eastern europe. I have a huge respect for guys like Slaw, Milan, Baur and others, that do this for much better prices than I ever could. -
Totally agree, MMJ! It makes sense to avoid accidental ejections. So keeping the 3xCtrlE requirement is smart, but there should be an option when you assign a controller to this command.
-
And the best workaround is... MMJoy2. This is the firmware for microcontrollers, written by mega_mozg, and is the firmware I use for my ConTrollRhttp://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/4266967/1 Just set one switch to ON/OFF repeat, and you have yourself a single switch Ejection button. :) But still... ED, it's a good idea to drop the 3x requirement for Ejecting, or just add a single command under VR. Because you don't have time to take off the HMD and look for CtrlE, much less hit it three times, when ejecting in VR.
-
Yes, but it doesn't solve the problem if you want to make an ejection handle...
-
Of course! That's it! Add a command under VR in the commands section that accomplish the same thing as 3xCtrlE but with a single press. This can't be that hard to do? I really don't want to rip my HMD off to find the keyboard to hit CtrlE three times when I just had a missile up my tailpipe. Finding the correct button on the HOTAS and press that one three times takes long enough... A single button, that when pressed once, starts the Ejection. Please, ED! :)
-
No, I haven't. But that's a good idea. Of course, there are workarounds to accomplish this. Some have been mentioned here. But I still think, in the interest of VR suitability, there should be an easier way to eject.
-
Yes, but the ejection handle is only pulled once ;) And this is my problem, since I would like to make an ejection handle for my simpit, as this will be much easier to use when flying VR.
-
Thanks! Good workarounds... However, my wish still stands. ED? Any chance you could change the controller assignment for the EJECT command, so that it is possible to eject with a single press of a button?
-
I don't think it's possible either, hence my wish to the devs... :)
-
I tried that... I had to press the button 3 times to eject.
-
How? If I assign it to a button on the joystick, that button has to be pressed 3 times as well... I'd like to assign a button that only need 1 press, to eject.
