Is the winwing shop the best place to buy their f-16 throttle?

The shop is just weird with the fake discounts made up by shipping and PayPal.

Sound moda for sim enjoyers

I’ve been using RCSM so far and it is pretty nice, but I want more realistic sounds for warnings in the cockpit for modern jets, something more like DCS I guess, any suggestions? Would much appreciate

Air Event - F-5A(G)

Source: https://warthunder.com/en/news/9355-event-get-the-f-5ag-in-the-freedom-fighter-event-en

Aircraft: F-5A(G), F-5A variant for Norway (Sweden at Rank VII)

Date: February 6th (11:00 GMT) until February 24th (11:00 GMT)

Stages change every two days at 11:00 GMT: February 8th, 10th, 12th, 14th, 16th, 18th, 20th and 22nd.

Mission Score goal: 45,000

SB air requirements - x2.3 multiplier

  • Rank I-IV: 20,455 (x0.9)
  • Rank V: 19,565 (x1.0)
  • Rank VI: 18,750 (x1.1)
  • Rank VII-VIII: 18,000 (x1.2)

You all know the drill. The zomber horde are coming! Just remember to not take this so seriously and take breaks when needed.

Also, don't waste time reporting players attacking airfields. Besides, what your personal viewpoint on this matter is. It is not against the rules since it is part of the mission design, regardless of the method used to achieve it. No point beating a dead horse over this.

However, anyone demanding "PvE", or breaking other rules to force others to comply to their standards of the game (aka truce matches), including harassment and other behavior rule breaking violations. Please report them to a GM!

Sim EC is a PvPvE game mode! Not PvE or PvP only. #dealwithit

Anyway, for those who prefer bombing. Here is the bombing chart: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MRIUI0kbGzS3-qvJGZGWk-BN4crV_z8uHzug82ho4Sg/edit?usp=sharing

See you all in the skies! o7

Amx a-1 is underrated

Yes, the BR is a little bit too high, but when you are the highest BR in a match, this is a pretty good plane to grind the tech tree., I think this is the most RP I’ve done in a match. It is also a pretty fun plane to play and chill

New to WT sim - experienced sim pilot

He guys, was just wondering what would your fav. Jets be (Cold war setting and later) To fly in WT sim?...I love my MiG-21 and F4...thinking about getting the Mirage prem. or the viggen prem. Because I like both in DCS and don't really want to grind for the normal version...any other recommendations?

Typhoon RWR - am i missing something?

Hello!

Coming from the UK gripen, the typhoon RWR is pretty annoying.

It can't keep track of exactly which direction threats are coming from through any kind of maneuvers. This is ok if I am flying straight and level, but if I am already maneuvering when another missile comes, the RWR is not always helpful in picking out the direction.

The gripen on the other hand is lovely and stable through turns and such, making notching a breeze. Is there a way to stabilise the typhoon RWR like the gripen? Or am i just being dumb again and the typhoon is better for doing this for some reason?

Thank you.

List of all bombers with cockpits

I mean stuff like He-111 H16 not stuff like F-111F or F15E that are technically bombers.. I know stuff like Tu-14t and Yak-28B have cockpits but is there other stuff that do?

JA37 Viggen - How to get lead indicator to show up in cockpit view?

When I use this plane in RB and I lock an enemy using the radar, it displays the radar lead indicator for my gunfire.

However, when I'm in cockpit view mode I can't get it to show up on my HUD.

Can anyone help me? Or is this just another bug?

Stock A10C has no engine power.

I can barely get it off the ground with half fuel and half of the glide bomb load. And when I do it won't go above 350mph or stay level.

Should I just stop trying to use it in sim until I get the engine upgrade unlocked?

Radar Screens on cockpit missing radar mode

How can it be that for so long already planes are missing the radar mode on the cockpit radar screens? Or am I missing something obvious to show it? The f15, av8b+, eurofighter and I guess many many more don't show you which radar mode is active. But somehow I don't see any complaints about this. The F14 does show it on its radar screen iirc

I have a bug report in the forums would be good if some ppl join in, it's really annoying for planes with like 8 radar modes like f15e not being able to see which one you have active without the extra radar square HUD or cycling through the entire group of modes and counting from when you see the scale change to velocity instead of range (if your plane even has velocity search)

“targeting pod” locked to head tracker in heli

while using helis in sim the gunner view is locked to my head tracker (TrackIR) so it moves when i move my head. For jets it’s working as intended, and i couldn’t tell a difference in the controls. I also made sure to have the bind tgp to VR setting off.

anybody know a fix?

Need help aiming the agm-65

I have everything set up to fire but when I get in the seeker view to lock the target I can’t move the seeker. Is there a bind I’m missing to make it move?

I come to you all seeking knowledge... how do I reduce oscillations when utilizing the rudder?

https://reddit.com/link/1id1ytq/video/oqrg9udmfzfe1/player

Crash is TOTALLY unrelated btw /s

I've mainly noticed this when trying to keep my nose on a fixed point or when making tighter turns. Is this the aircraft resisting the change in momentum, and what are some tips for managing it? The left/right axis was inverted when I first set up the program, and I changed that, so I was wondering if it was inverted now for a pretty good reason.

Also, I try to keep my eyes on the artificial horizon, turn indicators, climb indicators, etc, but I don't have a VR headset so it's kinda hard to look around. Using a VKB Gladiator.

Yak-38 is absolutely bonkers

Effectively Mach 1 on the deck in a straight line, 4 R-60’s and is reasonably good in a dogfight once you get your vtol thrusters down and put dampening on. I can fight Crusaders and Corsair II’s in this thing like it’s nothing. They don’t even know what to do. It’s pretty difficult to use when it’s stock, but once you get a gun and the R-60’s mod, I love this thing more than the MiG-19’s and 21’s.

Think people really clowned on this thing before for being a worse and shitty Harrier, but man I haven’t had more fun in it. Now I want to get the 141 to see how it stacks up.

Ballistic computer is EV

I have been looking everywhere for a ballistic computer toggle option for EC mode and cannot find one. I play Hotas and EC and just got to fighter bomber jets some of them have BCs in RB but cannot figure out how to turn it on in sim. Thank in advance!
