Bought Viggen, 6 hours later it goes on sale.

Its a pity ... thats why I always purchase during sales, or at pre-releases ... had to wait 4 months to get the F-5 but I saved a bit of $$$ and on the meantime played the modules I already had :)

 

Regarding the Viggen, this is the best Tutorial series that I've seen for it:

 

 

Anyway, in my opinion its one of the best planes available on DCS, you will not regret its purchase ... I've had so much fun with it :)

 

Best regards

Too bad mate but its a great aircraft, you will enjoy it

 

Starting engine:

- Dont forget insert the cartridge

- Enter the code 9099 > LS

 

Take-off:

- 3 Grades of trim up

- At least 250km/hr to rotate

- Dont touch the rudder... just very very very small corrections

 

In Flight:

- Speed is life... dont get below of 400km/h

 

Landing:

- Speed not lower than 300 km/hrs for first landing, after that you will find the right speed for the approach and landing

- Dont forget the thrust reverse (very useful but not necesary)

- Dont touch the rudder... just very small corrections

 

Any more info? read the official manual (isnt complete), the DCS Guide made by Chuck and the checklist made by Apache600

 

Good Luck!

How do you make 'very very very small corrections' without touching the rudder?

Money well spent, sale or not, in my opinion! And if it makes you feel any better, just think of it this way ... you wanted to support them a little more, monetarily, because it's that good of a module :P

 

As for getting yourself started in this plane, I suggest Chuck's tutorials, xxJohnxx's YouTube videos (though there are other good ones out there too) and then also my checklist here: (of course I have to support my own stuff too) https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=183759

You see what God just did to me, man?

 

Contacted ED via a ticket and they said "too bad" (in so many ways).

 

Anyway, heading home from work to get my first flight in. Any Viggen tips for a new guy?

I feel your pain, it happens to me all the time, not just in DCS. :D Anyway, Viggen is well worth the money, sale or not.

Too bad indeed. I recently bought the Normandy map thinking it came with the assets pack, but I didn't see the Normandy map + assets pack bundle. If I were to write a ticket, I'm guessing my response would be - TOO BAD!!

Yep, money well spent regardless of sale or not. The Viggen is for me the best jet in DCS.

HP G2 Reverb, Windows 10 VR settings: IPD is 64.5mm, High image quality, G2 reset to 60Hz refresh rate as standard. OpenXR user, Open XR tool kit disabled. Open XR was a massive upgrade for me.

DCS: Pixel Density 1.0, Forced IPD at 55 (perceived world size), 0 X MSAA, 0 X SSAA. My real IPD is 64.5mm. Prescription VROptition lenses installed. VR Driver system: I9-9900KS 5Ghz CPU. XI Hero motherboard and RTX 3090 graphics card, 64 gigs Ram, No OC at the mo. MT user  (2 - 5 fps gain). DCS run at 60Hz.

Vaicom user. Thrustmaster warthog user. MFG pedals with damper upgrade.... and what an upgrade! Total controls Apache MPDs set to virtual Reality height with brail enhancements to ensure 100% button activation in VR.. Simshaker Jet Pro vibration seat.. Uses data from DCS not sound.... you know when you are dropping into VRS with this bad boy.

Its worth typing a few lines though. You never know who might answer it. I did the same thing with something on steam and wrote a refund ticket and they let me re-buy it at the offer price.

 

Not saying your chances are high though :(

 

But its always worth a shot. My housemate got his credit card interest dropped from 26%-ish to like 5% by ringing up and being like "This interest is too dang high!" no I mean literally he was like "Please lower my interest." and they did!!!
