Spent a little more than I thought for funeral incidentals. No worries, just $10 more when it's released.

Omg, that's going to feel so weird flying like that with the split throttles..... :grin:

Post by: AG-51_Razor on November 14, 2017, 09:35:44 AM
I was thinking that the little gray slider to the right of the throttles would make a good nozel control but I guess that the left throttle lever might be a better choice.

Post by: Apache600 on November 14, 2017, 10:35:27 AM
@Sabot.  Yeah, I'll be using that bottom thumb rotary on the X-55 for nozzle adjustment.  And probably one of the rotaries on the base to set to nozzle stop
@Razor, that little grey lever on the Warthog, does it roll smoothly through it's whole range or have detents?

No it is smooth no detents. I will be using the left throttle myself as I use the gray lever for Zoom view.
Title: Re: DCS: AV-8B Pre-Purchase Trailer
Post by: AG-51_Razor on November 14, 2017, 02:46:46 PM
There is actually a small detent at mid travel, which is where I would want the nozel to stop for the SHORT TAKEOFF position and further aft would be for the hover position. All conjecture at this point.

Some of you may have already seen this but for those of you that haven't, I believe that it will really get your juices flowing! The Marine is not what I would call a great orator, but his subject matter is very interesting and the detail he goes into regarding the operation of the Harrier I found to be very interesting.

Over the past few days I've watched several Harrier videos, both real world and DCS. If this jet is as much fun to fly as it looks like it's gonna be, I might not be in any hurry to get out of the cockpit...even when the F/A-18 comes out.  :thumbsup:

Apparently, with this new copy protection system, you need to log into the game (i.e. ED) every three days or the game will not recognize you as the rightful owner of the module. No problem if you haven't for a week or so, as long as you have an internet connection. In that event, you are out of luck until you can get online to validate your "key".  Wags has indicated that this may be a little onerous and that they are looking at other options.
