Also, a bit O/T. But does anyone know if the old serial cougar throttle can be updated to run on usb and work with modern games? I.e. BMS...

Yes it can.  Look up TM Cougar USB Upgrade on youtube.   There are a few videos on how to do it with an Arduino or a USB controller.

Im trying to locate my old F-16 stick and throttle in the basement to convert over.   I really liked the TQS a lot more than the Warthog throttle, but I am using what works right now.  I plan on converting that stick and throttle...  when I find it in my mom's basement!

It doesn’t track quite as well.  Though to be honest I couldn’t tell you how much less since I’ve only used the pro.

Hey guys, if you would willing to help me out a bit I'd be grateful.  I just created a thread for a DCS-specific gaming PC build.  This PC-building noob needs advice on CPUs and GPUs to run DCS really well.  If you wouldn't mind providing some info on what you're running, and how well it runs DCS, I'd love it!  Thanks!

How do you defeat the AI Phoenix?  I made a mission where its Iran vs a coalition across the the gulf,  two f14s take out an entire squadron.  Ive tried everything,  tried going 700 knts at 50ft to try to blend in,  did it many times trying different tactics,  nothing can beat the iranians!

I haven't verified it, but they say you can notch it fairly well at least before it goes pitbull.  Of course that's assuming you know when you're being launched on.

No idea if that's true or not.

Finally got my pit back together after not playing DCS since last March, also committed to sticking a 3rd MFD on the monitor. I bought the Hornet and I'm slowly learning it, I think I still prefer the A-10C, I find the systems are a lot more intuitive and seamless for me.

I wanna fly with you guys at some point. My favorite server has always been the F99th, always like the guys there and the missions, that and the lack of an integrity check since I hate disabling all my mods.

Well...  

One of the basic USN/USMC schemes...


Im playing around with a couple different schemes right now.  Was going after the F-15E Strike Eagle scheme on this.

Looking at doing a desert tan scheme as well in the next few days.  If anyone has any suggestions, I am open to anything.

A nice Fox2 dogifght kill I made tonight on buddy spike Caucasus !

I lost my wingman early (his mistake) and then I had to find and kill a Viggen in the middle of a very target rich environnement.

I just got started with DCS last week and have already got the T16000M bundle with hotas and rudders.  I bought the spit and wwII stuff while it was on sale but holy crap I cant even get in the air with the spit.  so ive spent the last few days learning the su25 and going through all the trainings.  I plan to buy the 18 if it goes on sale again and the 14 eventually.  I have a track ir on the way and hopefully that will make things a lot easier....

I don't have the Spit myself, but for WW2 tail draggers you have to be slow on the throttle because the torque can flip the plane by itself.  Also you need to be light on your feet because the p factor will cause the plane to yaw left.

Had an interesting sortie last night on GAW.  Took off in an A-10C out of Min Vody, then got calls that a pair of SU25s were inbound to the airfield and we still had 4 guys on the ramp.  Got one of them with an AIM9 and a Mirage got the other.  Then Magic gave me grids for ground units with an SA8 and ZU23s.  ID'd them with the TGP and wrecked their asses with Mavs.  Then a pair of SU27s showed up and ruined my day.

Damn last night we got our asses handed to us by 2 mirage 2k in BVR with my wingman, in the hornet...

it was on Caucasus, so we were limited to Fox1s, and needless to say, the mirages clearly got the advantage given the superior 530 (compared to the aim-7MH), better IFF system, pure power, and countermeasures...

1 vs 1 I can handle the mirage pretty well online, but as soon as it goes 2 vs 2 or 2 vs 3, with equal or better pilots in front of you, you are toast..

Maybe when we get TWS in the APG-65 we might increase our odds, but so far, its a tough game...

Having not played DCS, is this just a big open server?  What happens when you die?  Respawn at the base/carrier?  I can understand if it's an actual mission with two teams where, obviously, each side needs to reduce their opponent's force to zero.

I've quit flying the Hornet for now and gone back to the A10 because of this.  It sucks ass at AA and AG, wish they would've focused on one to completion.  You go blind to the world without TWS once you bug a target, and if you're limited to Sparrows it just makes it even worse.

On that specific server you have a limited number of spawns for a certain amount of time. If you get shot down 3 times within 3 hours you can't fly that category of plane until the time period is over and life are reset.

It's a server with a dynamic campaign with ground target, farps and airbase to attack/defend.

After each period of time the server resets and the map changes/evolves according to the results of the previous period. The frontline moves in one direction or another.

More BS tonight on the buddy spike server.

After shooting down a su 27, another one decides to focus on me...

He somehow find me in the valleys and shoots me down. After that, similar situation in the next flight in which we are both looking for each other in different valley and he find me first and shoots me.

After reviewing the tacview file though, I am really unhappy.

Their fucking IRST clearly sees through the mountains.

I can clearly see the first one changing heading to go on an intercept course toward me after I change heading 2 valleys ahead, at a moment in which he has absolutely no line of sight.

Worst, he shoots his r-27t when there is still no line of sight.

Similar scenario in the second engagement.

Not only their fucking sensor is obviously passive and undetectable, but worst it can see through fucking mountains. 10 fucking nautical miles away.....

Im pissed
