I'm going to have a lot of catching up to do with the F-18. I didn't get a chance to play this weekend like I had hoped. I was looking over the DLC's before the sales ends, are there any others that are recommended? I figured I'd probably get Flaming Cliffs 3 since you get quite a few aircraft with it. Also wasn't sure how much value the Supercarrier added vs the one that comes with the Hornet.

In the launch video they said they accurately modeled the flight characteristics and temperament of the real life F-14, so I could certainly see us in some eject scenarios

I'll buy the F-14, but you have to call me "Goose".

I think I got all the bombs and the TV figured out. The ones we have in the training mission, as far as I can tell, can't really use the help of the TV. If you're coordinated enough to steer the plane and aim the TV's designator at the same time while in a dive run, it might help you aim, but won't guide the bombs in any way. In the training mission for TV guided, it has you use the KAB-500kr and Kh-29T, which do work well, but they're both very large and can only be mounted on the inner most pylon (limit 2 per plane). I didn't test all the munition types, but I did have pretty good success with the Kh-25ML (Missile type), which can go on the 2nd and 3rd inner most pylons of each wing for a max of 4 per plane. I'll pick up the F-18 tomorrow, but I'll need to get a new joystick. I'm finding dead spots in mine that are nearly catastrophic at low speed... almost certain to be deadly with afterburners. Any recommendations?

You've talked me into it. I'm downloading DCS World now... Do I also need the F-18 to get started?

Happy birthday!

Logitech has a few that look pretty similar. This one is the G610 (Cherry MX Red switches). I also had a G19 and G15 previous to this, haha. Finally realized I was never using the G keys or the screen. I have a Rosewill keyboard with Cherry MX Brown switches at work that I think I actually like better than the 610. However, I tend to type fairly heavy, so I bottom the keys out and its very noisy.

Happy birthday Rizz!

A couple of my USB devices were barely just too short after moving the tower under the desk and were stopping me from placing it where I really wanted it. Grabbed a couple of these and longer USB cables to mount on the back edge of the desk. Made cable management much easier. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RM6QWHP

You can see in the "before" picture, I didn't even have that much. I was just hanging it off the edge of the desk. 😂 The stand is quite nice, it also doubles as a USB hub. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019PI9QD4

Being stuck at home for the foreseeable future inspired me to execute some of the upgrades I've been wanting to do. Before: After: View:

Messed around a bit tonight with the SAMv2 parameters. It's a lot less terrifying when it comes in to dock with some easy tweaks. These are for a small block ship, large block will at least need the MAX_SPEED reduced to 395. You can copy/paste this whole section (replace what is currently there) or just update the highlighted values. private static float HORIZONT_CHECK_DISTANCE = 2000.0f; private static float MAX_SPEED = 495.0f; private static float APPROACH_DISTANCE = 100.0f; private static float DOCK_DISTANCE = 20.0f; private static float UNDOCK_DISTANCE = 20.0f; private static float DOCKING_SPEED = 1.5f; private static float APPROACH_SAFE_DISTANCE = 50.0f; private static float TAXIING_SPEED = 10.0f; private static float COLLISION_CORRECTION_ANGLE = (float)Math.PI / 7.5f; private static string ADVERT_ID = "SAMv2"; private static string ADVERT_ID_VER = "SAMv2V"; // private static int ADVERT_VERSION = 2; private static string STORAGE_VERSION = "deadbeef";

Happy birthday dude!

Your post is still there, it's just in a thread that started in 2014, so you may have overlooked it. As Zeno said, the "Activity" tab is useful for finding the most recent stuff. I also use "Unread Content" quite a bit. Link: http://legionofsparta.com/forums/index.php?/topic/11347-space-engineers/&do=findComment&comment=105255
