  1. Probably the least popular answer but one I kind of stick to for new modules is to actually wait for the AH-64 to drop. Listening to Casmo from the Low Level Hell podcast and community it sounds like the Apache is nothing like what we currently have in our hanger. To be honest, any of the helis will help teach you the basics of flight (although I do agree with most that the Gazelle should be avoided as a first time helicopter). If nothing else, grab them all using the 2 week trial periods and go from there.
  2. I usually can tell from the VDI. If she is below 3-5 m/s and not responding to collective input I know I am in VRS. Then I apply the appropriate actions to get out of VRS although many times there simply isn’t enough altitude to do so.
  3. Love the videos! The 2nd one really got me stoked and answered a ton of questions about the "Papa" variant.
  4. No password is required as it is a public server. Info is on page one, post one of this thread. SRS server uses the same IP address as the server itself. We currently have two fairly active squadrons that are on Korea!, those being the 14AD (Red Air) and 366th (Blue Air). You will find some of us 39th guys on every so often. I myself will usually join which ever side is at a disadvantage numbers wise.
  5. Seeding the server is a good way to get people on. Keep an eye on the server as well as the server's official Discord. Even simply just being in the Discord voice chat sections and hanging out will help get people on board. Many times a simple familiarization flight on the server will start bringing in people once they see someone is on. Fortunately we have a MiG squadron (14AD; 14th Fighter Aviation Division) that has been occupying the server on a regular basis and that has helped bring the numbers up. The 39th is still around with a few members hoping on every now and then; though you will find me flying with the 14th wearing the 39th tag. :music_whistling:
  6. Version 1.0.1 is now available for download!
  7. I believe this stems from it being written in .rtf using JARTE. When I test the print preview in Notepad or Word the format comes out almost correct, the only discrepancy I can see is that the change date on each page shifts. I'll add optimization to the list of things to do however. Thanks for the observation!
  8. Good Evening Tomcat crews! Started working on a out-of-game knee-board. Basically, I prefer to have a physical knee-board in hand when flying DCS. The purpose of this document is to provide a physical knee-board you can print off, laminate and write on using a marker. I also am a more casual DCS pilot. Realism means a fair bit to me, however still being on active duty I do not get long stints to learn and retain all the information needed to truly master my chosen aircraft. Therefore, I have this knee-board setup for simplicity vice full on realism. I strive to make this document one you can step away from DCS for a while, come home after said hiatus and jump right back into the air with a quick shake down flight. I will update this as I can. Again, being active duty I will be incommunicado at times but if you have any comments or questions please feel free to drop a line. I will respond as soon as I can. If the demand is there, I can take a swing at making this an in-game knee-board. Download link: https://www.mediafire.com/file/dcynothzfl5sacl/Skidjit%27s_Kneeboard_Tomcat_Edition.rtf/file Cheers to all! Update: New version is out. v1.0.1 added a section for the AN/ALR-67 RWR symbology for quick reference. Current Version: v 1.0.1 (April 20, 2019)
  9. When landing, I have been flying the F-14 like I fly the Huey. Just use "micro-movements". I find that it is a game of finesse over brute strength.
  10. Thanks for the link! Not a whole lot of internet 100 miles off shore.
  11. Can’t wait you guys, looks awesome!
  12. Between keeping up proficiency with the Sabre, relearning the BlackShark and entering the Tomcat syllabus I am going to have plenty to do before the Hind comes out. Definitely will give the Mig-19 a go. So much for saving money this year...
  13. Mostly going to play RIO with a little pilot action here and there. I spend a lot of time away from home, so in theory I can bring less gear with me but still be a contributing member to Tomcat crews.
  14. If this is possible, I agree with this.
  15. The 39th VFS primarily flys the F-86F but you will see us flying everything and everything. Even a few who fly other sims.
  16. Haha, same here! I was actually doing BFM on a drone with SeaQuark (39thVFS CO and Korea 1952 server admin) when it happened for the first time to me. Got her fired back up and continued on with the training without any incident (well, until DCS decided to CTD :mad:)
  17. It is also likely to be occurring because of too rapid of throttle changes. When we do CAPs in the Korea! 1952 server, we are at Buster for almost the whole flight. That being said I have had flameouts and initiated an Air Start because I slamming the throttle hard.
  18. Chuck, just wanted to say thanks for the guides and what you contribute to the community. I use them regularly for building up key bindings and kneeboards for whichever platform I am flying that day.
