I have it set up for the airplanes that need a lot of ground crew help to start, yeah. That way I can make the radio calls myself instead of clicking through the menu.

I wish there was a way to turn off the pilot voice when doing that, though, for ~my immersion~

Steam Same for DCS is in full swing.

If you are starting out, Flaming Cliffs 3 is likely your first choice, and Persian Gulf map your second for goon compatibility.



As per tradition, if there is a goon who has been itching to get into DCS, but is financially limited (mainly due to geographic limitations), I will buy them Flaming Cliffs 3 Package (F-15, MiG-29, Su-27, Su-25T, Su-33) from Steam. Message me in Discord. Negotiable to Persian Gulf map.

Post some suggestions for thread title. I don't think we need to retain Falcon BMS in it anymore, so it'll just be DCS World: " "


Making new OP right now, but still preserving Falcon poo poo in second post.

Soiled Meat
After getting distracted with Il-2, and that developing crash to desktop issues, I fired up DCS, fat fingered into F-18 in-flight start, landed but couldn't find the brakes and crashed off the end of the runway. Then loaded up Case I, came in a bit high and on my go-around it crashed to desktop.

This is really discouraging.

I spent an hour last night in the F18, desperately looking for the countermeasure panel and whatever will let me launch HARMs. I still don't loving know how to fire chaff or launch HARMs.

And I dodged SAMs by doing absolutely nothing. The plane flying on trim and my head was down looking at the switches the whole time. It took a long time for me to get splashed actually.

Set the dispenser switch at the bottom of the center console to bypass, map chaff single and flare single. Auto modes aren’t working.

Harms - take a look at the Chuck’s guide for the 18, he covers all the modes there;

DCS World: Make sure to get an Athlon XP 1800, as that's what the engine was last optimized for.

The OP has a good guide for the F-15 here

If I remember right the in game tutorials for the F-15 are pretty decent too.

I'm not seeing an F-15 tutorial, just SU-27/33. Which I'll do, since air combat more modern than "guns go brrrt" is something I last did in CYAC.

e.
and checking the OP, which is de rigeur for complicated games.

That posted Mudpsike guide is really good for the Eagle, and popping into discord isa good way to ask more questions.

As people said above me, F-15 is definitely good enough for goon games, it’s almost always included. (But so is Persian Gulf) which adds another layer.
