What flight control joystick and throttle do you recommend for this?  I bought it yesterday.

[chazflyz]

@rayn1988 If you want the best, then the Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog which is a replica of the A-10C flight control system. There is also the HOTAS Cougar, a replica of the F-16 FCS.

How is the ground-crew, chatter, etc? The feeling of being in the sim "alone" has really kind of killed immersion for me in the past.

Also...Is this supposed to be Nevada? I'm a bit confused.

Great Vid~!

[chazflyz]

@m00shim I haven't used the ATC function yet. This is the default Russian map (forget the name).

Framerate? hardware specs?. is it maxed out?. Is DCS A-10C better optimized than BlackShark?.

Thanks for the video

[chazflyz]

@jtmedina75 Specs listed on my channel page (as noted in the description above^). :-)

It's beta so it's not very optimized. Most settings high. Average framerate around 30, varying between 15-50. Depending where I pan the view and what is being viewed.

I feel like I just went through ground skool...when is my sim ride?

[IWannabeJew]

Sooooo sexy!

[NoQuestions4sked]

@vallesmar you have to be a USAF officer and apply for training within the ages of 18 and 30.

[Ghostmooner]

@chazflyz yeah, but 500.00 bucks for a damn joystick? are they on crack?? who would pay 500 dallors for a video game joystick!??? it makes my head hurt from trying to grasp their logic in it!

[vallesmar]

I luv the video! When can I fly the real thing?

[bladerj]

@IWannabeJew thats becouse he set the FOV too far back, and the distortion is a effect of 3d representation on 2d media (monitor) it happens on every game.

[bladerj]

whoa, why did they remove the legs and hands ? i though it was a nice touch on lock on.

[IWannabeJew]

@jtmedina75 Is it just me or does the FOV settings look seriously screwed when he is looking out the side window, down towards the ground. It's very disorienting.
