![]() ![]() I can somewhat manage the other stuff, main issue being the throttle (keyboard resolution is really difficult, nor can you feel where it is, nor can you make quick movements). The F-14, made famous in the movie Top Gun served as the Navy’s premier fighter from the 1970s to 2006. Take a look inside our F-14 Tomcat cockpit This iconic jet used its ‘swing wing’ design for high speed dogfighting with the wings swept back and for landing aboard carriers when extended. Warbirds are okay-ish once in the air, landing is basically a no-go, as are coordinating turns or aerial combat (without fighting side-slip). USS Midway Museum is at USS Midway Museum. EXTERNAL CAMERA, F14: TOP GUN AIRCRAFT, F18: THE FERRARI OF FLIGHT, FACEBOOK. I do have a very decent stick, though is desktop mounted, without an extension.įormation flying is completely off the table for me (and therefore AAR is too), I can fly the Huey (though kinda badly), same with the Hip (though landing it is near impossible), I can land on aircraft carriers, but it's messy, I've landed a 3-wire once. COCKPIT VIEW IN REFUEL A-6 INTRUDER IN STORM REMOTE CONTROL PANEL F-14 TOP. If it's any consolation too, I don't have a throttle, nor rudder pedals I have to use the keyboard for both and my set-up makes it kinda impossible to do stick + throttle or throttle + rudder.įor me, it's a bit of a pain but I've gotten used to just hitting LAlt+C over and over again, oh and so we're clear, this will be the 2nd year of me using my current setup. I'm currently using just the mouse, I have no head tracking, and my specs are down below (yes, you read that right 15.6" display). ![]() Why don't we simply get a view mode, where the mouse is used for free look and the cursor always stays in the middle, so that you chose which button to click by looking around instead of by moving the cursor across the screen? Same way as how it was done for example in Doom 3 or Quake 4 when you aproached some control panel. How do you guys do it when you don't have a head-tracking and you need to look around and click cockpit at the same time? This adds so much overhead for me that it's impossible to do in a fight anymore. However with the newest version the Alt+C shortcut added a third mode, which is moving around the cockpit (strafe left/right/up/down), so now i have to press Alt+C (which is also binded to my mouse middle button) two times to switch from free look to cockpit control, and two times to get back to free look. In previous versions i was able to use the mouse for both the free look and clicking the cockpit by toggling between those with a "Force cursor to show" (default: Alt+C). I have neither head-tracking nor VR headset (yet) so i use mouse for free look. I haven't played DCS for awhile and when i came back and installed the updates, i noticed a breaking change in view controls. ![]()
