They have exact replica for F35 and Apache!

 

[Littlenose]

Wow they look good… but as my dad used to say, “if you need to ask how much, then it is too much”

 

[Josey Wales]

I think these are gonna be very expensive, like £1K or more each.

 

[Littlenose]

yeah, that's way above my limit.
I do fancy replacing my CH Combat Stick, but suspect I'll be looking at VKB rather than BugEye

I don’t know that was just a guess. I found the ch fighter stick to big for myself. I went for a second hand Microsoft force feedback 2. Even with force feedback turned off its a great stick. Plenty on ebay, I’ll be selling virtually brand new one in couple weeks which I stored in the attic years ago as a spare. You can get these on ebay if you interested.

I like my CH Combat Stick, and the small movements to get to specific buttons I like too, the deliberate movement to pickle a bomb for example saves me accidentlly dropping on Blue.. but I miss the 3rd hat switch for countermeasures, and would like a 2 stage trigger (brrrrrt) - now one of the hats (the DMS one) is starting to get iffy I have an excuse to start looking about for other options.

I've just downloaded DCS to have a play. Spent 10mins going round in circles on the runway before giving up

Try again, there are lots of tutorials on youtube.

Gave up my first time some years ago after trying to get the ka50 to fly in a straight line.
Years later i own nearly every map and module, once you master your first aircraft others come more naturally.

Just picked up the mig 21 the other day
Took a few hours to get the systems down but its simple enough being an older jet, engine loves to flameout though.

Be aware of dual assignment in your controls.

Just tried the updated A4 free mod. Have to say that I was VERY impressed. Big improvement on the initial drop.

 

[Littlenose]

I'm hoping to get time to have a play with the new A-4 this weekend.
Such a shame that it's not an option on the multiplayer servers - I understand why, but it's a shame all the same.

More Apache vids up on the Eagle Dynamics YT channel, looking amazing really. I love planes, but I think this will be a game changer!

 

[Mr_Sukebe]

The Apache dropped yesterday, along with a brill update for Syria (another 200 miles of land eastwards).

Here's the launch trailer for the Apache:

Quite tempted by the Apache but as someone who only flies offline I'm concerned about having to rely on the AI copilot. Also can't see how operating the TADS is gonna be much fun without specific hardware.

I've had this on preorder and had forgotten about this. It will be my first flight sim since apache havoc, and this gem....

So playing in VR will be a bit different.

Never played a DSC sim before so I'll be throwing myself in at the deep end I think. Any good beginners guides out there?

Anyone tried the Apache yet especially in vr? Going by some of the YouTube video's it looks a bit more noob friendly than the fixed wing aircraft.

 

[lokiss]

Waiting till it moves over from the beta. I've no idea how long that process normally takes, but having pre ordered it when it dropped, naturally it can't come soon enough.

Yes and very optimized not using any shader mods for performance and my personal missions are awesome possibly one of the top modules for VR.

Getting back into DCS after giving up last year and sold most of my flight hardware lol
