GRIFF Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I hope that Combat Pilot simulator will include mouse clickable cockpit controls or at least keyboard controls for cockpit actionable buttons, toggles, levers etc. just like DCS.

Sea Serpent Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Now all we need is a map stretching from Ubon in Thailand to Hanoi, a big f@$&in’ map. But we’ll already be set for so many conflicts in the Middle East. I really think they did a great job on the Mig-15. Mig-21 needs an overhaul. I never got into the Mig-19, but that might change with the F-4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find in DCS I would rather have a "Gear Up" button bound to my HOTAS rather than the Realism of reaching for Gear Up Lever. I was the Biggest fan of Clickable cockpits until I realised, I dont really use them ! So for Me, I would rather they put resources into other areas of the Sim !~S~ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachariasX Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 There are only a few functons that can be reasonably mapped on a HOTAS. I find Great battles series about borderline where it is reasonable not having clickpits. Many planes are so simple that this works fine (especially FC ones), but with the twin engine ones and some later planes, it gets more difficult. The key binding concept ahs up and downsides in it's own way. If you have the full systems simulated, the HOTAS gets cumbersome. Like in MSFS, if it is a dead simple plane like a stock C152 or a glider, all can be mapped on the HOTAS. Now map the Cessna310R on a Hotas, Good luck with good engine management and Garmin functions. Never mind the tubeliners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blooddawn1942 Posted June 8, 2023 Author Share Posted June 8, 2023 The Sinai map has just been released! I was absolutely looking forward to this map since I've recently been in Egypt and flew also along the souther edge of the Sinai peninsula. Incredible landscape! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nocke Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 (edited) Rhode Island is 4000km2, the detailed part of the Sinai map is 490.000km2. Edited June 9, 2023 by Nocke one 0 missing for Sinai size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMaster Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I think that decimal is in the wrong place, that is certainly not 500 sq km. That would be only 25km each way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There still seems to be a decimal issue with your Sinai map numbers. Quote The total size of the map is 1500 x 1000 km, and the detailed section is 700x700 km. Rhode Island is roughly 77km x 60 km making the DCS SInai map about 20 times longer and about 17 times wider than the state. Quote only about 48 miles (77 km) long and 37 miles (60 km) wide https://www.britannica.com/place/Rhode-Island-state Wheels Quote Download Missions, Skins, & Essential files for IL-2 1946 and several other game series from Mission4Today.

Nocke Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 77x60=4620, 700x700=490.000. Please check with your calculator of choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nocke Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Oh wait - we might have a problem here with US and european use of decimals?

Yep, we use commas and not decimals in that situation. I know that too and I am surprised it did not come to mind before you reminded me. 77 x 60 = 4,620 km2 700 x 700 = 490,000 km2 (DCS populated area) 1500 x 1000 = 1,500,000 km2 (DCS total map area) Wheels Quote Download Missions, Skins, & Essential files for IL-2 1946 and several other game series from Mission4Today.

JediMaster Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Oh yes, that slipped my mind too. I never understood using decimals instead of commas because that can cause confusion if you don't have a round number. 490,000.034 is very clearly .034 added to 490,000 while 490.000.034 could mean either .034 added to 490,000 or 1000 times more? I think I've also seen all commas used with no decimals which I also find frustratingly vague. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art-J Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Oh my. "Very clearly" for some, for me it looks like incomprehensible mess. But I admit I've never seen commas used for thousand separator in my 44 years of life on the continental Europe. Thus 490.000,034 is "normal" for me. I've got no problem, however, with writing .30, .357, .45, .50 when referring to US ammo types, 'cause I know that's how they're originally designed. I agree that whatever system one chooses, throwing in all commas or all decimals in a single line is a recipe for even worse confusion! Quite an interesting discussion, even though somewhat offtopic. I wonder how the WWII version of Marianas map is coming along. I know - different devs, but man, how cool it would be if it landed more or less together with Corsair!
