Yeah that's engines. What kind of keyboard do you use and do you really need that one?

I use an advent wireless keyboard and the home key is on the 7 on the numpad, and 7 moves the camera up and to the left. anyway to stop that?

Isn't that like with a laptop you have to press and hold 'FN' before you press the other key for home?

As much as I don't like convirtables, I probably wouldn't pass a drive on such a road :dopey: Where is this?

Did some flying with a friend, trying to avoid getting lock on, defending from radar missiles but that didn't really work..... He only managed to avoid 1 radar missile.. Not sure how to get around those missiles..

Beam (fly perpendicular to missile), chaff, and maneuver is the general answer.

Missiles have limited fuel and it is costly for them to chase you once fuel is depleted. You can hit a sitting target out to ~25 miles, but a maneuvering target can evade down to 10 miles or less. When it comes to shooting back, in the F-15 you want to take advantage of your AMRAAM's active seeker. The counter on the HUD after launch shows active and impact countdown. When the active timer hits zero you're free to turn around and run while the missile will keep chasing targets.

I might be able to help with missile training if people are on this weekend, but for a bunch of reasons I can't guarantee availability.

Thanks man will try those things out when I have some time 👍 A training sounds good but we tried to get together a bunch of times and I wasn't available on all those days so like you can't guarantee anything..

Can you use the mouse? Or is it limited to keyboard?

Hell yeah. In DCS their words: P-51D Mustang. The most realistic simulation ever done of this legendary World War 2 ear fighter.

You can click away in the entire cockpit :D

Also, if they've shot before you even know that they're there, then you've already lost half the battle.

Offense can be the best defense, they can't shoot at you if they're trying to evade a missile.

This video does a good job at explaining some neat tricks.

A guy I frequently fly with does ETS2 and iRacing with a yoke.. So why not? You could rudder with gas and brake..

You have a point. I'll install this today. If I go on multiplayer expect kitten to erm die easily of loss of control :lol:
