Some pointers in general with the F-16 in mind :)

1. Your hardware controls: Make sure they are not "spiking" meaning they jitter at small movement. "spiking" make any jet not right and it is hard to null out. In general make sure you don't have faulty controls, dosen't matter is you are low or high end. The F-16 will go there if you point it there. You can try deadzone if you are not at a point of buying new hardware and adjust from there :).

2. The F-16 will safe the bad pilot and kill the same one. I've flown a lot of simulated aircraft over the years (year 2000 ish online). If you are on it..F-16 might seem dull but again she will go were u point her, example tgp work in A-10 ..nice auto pilot and a lot of flags when looking at tgp, we will get this in the F-16 in time but right now, monitor your instruments. You drop a bomb and forget to trim ..she is now doing 30 degree left and 10 degree down at 380 knots ...only going faster. BE vigilant..goes for all in general but this bird ..be faster. Military version of the s-300 aerobatic plane.

3. She is a dog in full load and drop it she is a friggin F1 car. If point one is not set , never mind ..that important.

4. Dcs wise she is not done and no pilot would drive her in real life with this lack of feedback BUT if you are a veteran driver of simulated aircraft then it is a good challenge juts to fly her.

5. Be ready as a person to be told you did it wrong, itis not on you as a person ..you are just flying a pristine aircraft. Be ready to accept that you don't know this jet yet. For me personally it is a: he is just better or me not doing right. Nothing out of wack. Been flying dcs stuff for a while and 9 out of 10 it has been me. Thrust me when it is official a finished product ..you will still suck ;) hehehe.

6. She is a handful in every scenario but she is controllable, but takes skill..

7. have fun and hopefully some 7 year old finds out that this is for him or her and do it in real life.

DCS CREW you have a ton of work ..get on it ;)

Out :)

So much wrong with this post but i'll let it go and be silent from now on.

You aren't the only one thinking it.

WTH did I just read?.....

Looks like someone was badly intoxicated and in the mood for a rant :-D

Ah yes, the f-16 is unable to can unquantifiable choices in such a way that creates a feeling of dislike towards an entity in a computer. Yes.

Same...

BAWAHAHAHAA! :megalol:

We thrust you.

Really, did you really mean this, what's in that glass :doh:

Tough critics .....that is the spirit :)

She will bite if you fly her wrong ...

Lawn darts incoming and complaining.

Also not just grabbed out the thin air you guys inhale....

Granted a F-16 maestro not yet ...

I live in a country where we have free speech so have at it :)

Guns only and I'll try to give ya a round for your money ;)

Someone was out of the good stuff and went straight to the ever clear.

Mazedk, you have to stop brewing that stuff in the basement ;-)

Not understanding who the OP is trying to lecture, maybe newcomers, probably. And that's commendable, I guess.

But the "tips" are a bit weird, to be honest. I too make mistakes and have some long time vices and I always loved having someone helping me to correct them over time. But...

Why would you stick your head down that you disregard your trimming losing control of your aircraft? If you do that and you "forget to trim" or have "spiky" axis, dude, you need some tips of your own! :)

"Aviate, Navigate, Communicate"

Aviate comes first. This is the only tip I ever needed to improve my cockpit work.

Actually, theres something poetic about the way the prose is contructed.

I like it.

I'ma fully wiffem

Ummm... Okay.

Have you been trying to fly the Viper with the FLCS turned off again?

Edit...

Oh no I get it, been sniffing the Hydrazine in the EPU... that stuffs nasty!

Did you check your contols for smear, wear and tear already?

At first, while I plugged in my X-52 pro Hotas after years of eating dust, I couldn't keep my rudder /nosewheel steady and centered. Rudderpedals were shaking constantly. Disasambling the stick and a treatment of the potentiometer with contactspray and compressed air solved my problem.

Since then, 'my' viper goes where I want it to go. Even with hands-off the controls there's only very little deviation in altitude and direction. Ofcourse, introduction of auto-pilot will make flying this beauty even easier but hey... the viper is still in EA status. Thumbs up for the ED team so far!
