Hi redkite, im planning a Mission with a 1000 units red side, how it was the performance with this ? thank you

what stick is the main you are using?

why we want buy this if 3rd version of this come xD mayby landing gear fixed or 2nd of that other panel or genuine side panels just take your money again. i would buy all panels if they real match not just buttons and knobs around cockipit in one place. its confusing. and everyone have stream deck anyway

1:52 not even teacher know. it is same number u entered. showing it diff format it read 07.6 did ya know that. nope xD 36/60=0.6 got it yet? 18/60=0.3 got it yet?

Mission idea: Move the camel from point A to point B without the it getting hurt. You have to fly fast and low: time limit would force the player to keep moving and enemy fire + ground covers would make the player fly as low as possible using the covers. If the camel hits the ground when you're flying fast, it takes damage and the missions fails. Bullet hits to the chopper don't hurt the camel, but the bullets might hit the camel which is a no-no. Also if the chopper gets hit by a rocket, the camel automatically takes damage from the blast and its mission failed. Also to bring more variety to the gameplay in general, you could add missions which have a modern military ground-to-air anti aircraft laser weapon which US military already has. Player would get a 10 second warning before the laser turn on an does tons of damage to the players helicopter. This would again force the player to adopt completely different methods/tactics/approaches to missions, using covers a lot more and quickly moving from one cover to the next. Another idea: Player needs to catch a moving vehicle which carries some important cargo. The vehicle is moving at constant speed deeper and deeper into the heavily guarded enemy lines. The player needs to either fight or avoid/sneak past the enemy lines avoiding getting hit or destroying the enemy units. Slow players who stay and fight everything are more likely to have to combat each and every unit they meet, eventually letting the cargo escape. So a nice balance between stealth and combat is optimal, depending on the skill level of the player in each category (comabat vs. stealth).

I wonder if you can purchase some matte film to remove the glare on the screens

Do you have a video on how you setup the thrustmaster mfd on monitor like that?

Ok the comments got me confused. Am I not getting the joke or something? It just looks like a video to me

I love returning here. In fact I need to come back here as time erodes the memory as I get older. Such a great tutorial. I hope it remains for all time. It's also nice to see other members of the community using your lua template files and having the good affability to acknowledge your great work. Thank you Sir.

Hello, are you still using the joystick? Would you say VPC WarBRD is better overall? I'm torn between the VPC WarBRD-D and Orion 2.

Word on the CV-1 and CV-2 approaches. NATOPS details the two. CV-2 is simply an approach where you marshal ahead of the boat. Not simulated because...it doesn't appear to be all that common practice IRL.

This brings back memories!

please give me more info about that collective 🎉

Excellent bravo

Sorry to hear about the ongoing health troubles, chap -- I really can relate! As others have said, take all the time, do what you need to do for you. All the very best.

AHHH this is perfect, I needed this video! I'm looking to convert my Orion2 for heli ops and this made everything click. I know what must be done! And your added tips were great. Thank you!

I love the campaign walkthroughs man regardless of airframe! Hope you get better soon dude!

Who won 🏅

Looks good. If one buys the panel you describe and plug it in can I set the bindings in DCS without the need for yet another 3rd party ‘configuration tool’?

Where is this base in the map? What is the map?

Any reason you think I get ARM after waiting the time but the covers dont jettison?

Looks at aging CH Pro Throttle...hmmm Nice review bud. Tempting

I echo all the positive thoughts I have seen in the comments. Any of the ideas that you mentioned for future videos sounds good to me. (Emphasis on the F-4). In recent years I have had health problems too. Keep your eye on that light at the end of the tunnel.

Bloody reversed Axis players. xD

If the screens aren’t even real what’s the point. You can just click the buttons in the clickable cockpit. Waste of money.

Not enough switches or features to justify the price. Vibration would be a seller but like this its a pass.

is se the product is end of live, are thy going to release a new one?

i think you are one of the most knowledgeable persons about DCS. I have a problem and hopefully you can figure it out for me. I have a problem with the Kiowa and have sent in 2 requests for repair. For the first time in 10 years there is no response from DCS. When I look at my tickets, no tickets been generated. Have they changed how and where to submit a request? If they had you please let me know what I have to do to submit a request. Thank you very much

Does the Orion work with civil flights?

Great Video. But how would it work in Direct Mode?... That would be great to see as well.

Hope your doing ok Red. Please take as much time as you need

you are so useful

Take your time and take care of yourself Red, we'll still be here to support you when you'll come back

Is that combat ace 7

Alpha, like no other . . . for its time!

Its interesting what the of the new Cadet control panel will be. I wonder if you can get a Cadet throttle with a Cadet panel, for the same price as a CM3 throttle.

love ur content man, take the time you need, when life kicks youin the dick, kick it back!

Look Ma, no hands!

I have used force feedback, and now can never go back. It's just so much better. I am very happy about all of these new FFB sticks, so I do not have to mess around trying to keep my 15 or so year old G940 running.

Thank you for the review. I'm glad I bought the CM3 2 months ago.

Interesting, but I wonder if the price is really competitive vs STECS or Orion 2. With taxes (no shipping yet) the thing would be ~273€, and at that point you get a full sized, but mb slightly less quality Orion 2 with finger lifts, the STECS mini plus, or for a bit more the STECS standard.

5:30 re airbrakes, on the tomcat and f4 you can just momentary press airbrake retract and itl come all the way in on its own

I have an X-52 and I'll say about the airbrakes you *do* get used to holding it if you only have 'momentary' type switches. I usually have it set up so that I hold one button for extend and then press/tap one button for full retract which seems to work quite well and at least in DCS is supported in almost all aircraft (but with software you *can* force it to work in every aircraft). The only time it gets particularly annoying is in aircraft that have configurations where the airbrake auto retracts without continuous input such as the viper when gear down retracting to that partially out state when sometimes I want it full and holding it is possible but a little inconvenient. I did get used to it more or less fully though, so it's only a minor impact for me. ...having said that if I were buying a new product this *would* factor into my opinion as there's no denying that it's quite a lot nicer to have it be a held switch

Virpil should stop trying to invent designs and ergonomics and just inspire directly from what is used IRL. If they do change those crappy hats and come with better layouts I may want to buy Virpil again. For now Winwing has still the edge but Virpil is far superior in terms of build quality. The problem is that quality cannot outperform bad ergonomics ...

Firstly as everyone else is saying there's no rush or pressure on content, or at least there shouldn't be, and you should go at the pace that works best for you. Second though, I'd watch your Raven One stuff literally as an unedited direct upload because I enjoy how you do it, and given I make them myself I certainly don't mind mistakes. I do love the 'full finished product' you put out for it, and they are amazing, but even unedited I feel you're already like 75-80% of the way there? They'd still be fantastic. Oh and lastly, I still use your stick/flight hardware reviews as gospel. I'm getting closer to pulling the trigger on an upgrade (but not there yet), but I have actually used it to help guide the decisions of others several times at this point, and I genuinely use your input as one of the core methods to inform my opinions on it, since we seem to share a lot of values as to what's important in the hardware and also seem to share some of the less tangible opinions when it comes to 'feel'. Plus I find you to be as objective and fair as possible with them, I'm a big fan of that segment of your content.

Espetially since the model changes I do find myself doing silly stuff like that more often. My personal favourite 'descent' is actually to pull up the nose and force a flatspin then try to point the nose as level to the horizon as it will go before breaking out of the spin with hopefully enough altitude left. It's one of my favourite manuvers in the Hornet because the designers were *so* worried about spins that the aircraft completely freaks out, but it's design is good enough that it just naturally recovers from a spin even if you don't use 'spin mode'

Digging the Raven and the Locust. You got a Kitfox or a Cicada back there somewhere?

STECS is tad cheaper yet offer better customizability, more modularity, and much better detent, not sure why Virpil thought this was a good idea. If the price of this is 15-20% cheaper than the STECS then this would make more sense as a budget option

and they still want 230 euros + ship, thats like $450aud, love my other Virpil gear, but this seems a cash grabby, without the usual quality

Glad to see a fellow bushwhacker pilot!
