Gonna try that VNAO Caucuses server for just a bit…
Played for a bit…had a lot of fun. Used the smoke rockets and bombs. It has CCIP…yay! Came back to the boat…boltered twice and ran out of gas on the third pattern…haha…so much for grace under pressure. Then a guy hopped in my backseat and we tried transferring controls and stuff…but that didn’t work very well. Not sure what the deal is with that at the moment…

The cockpit textures are way better than the payware Hawk we bought from VEO or whatever they where called. Very impressive for freeware
As an aside and saving searching for the thread there is a new version of the Hercules it’s now 6.7 and works with 2.7

Flew it in multi-crew last night.
Some observations:
Easy to start
Back seater and anyone else saw our jet without gear down
Control positions were not synced
FM feels solid. Actually needs a bit of rudder to coordinate turns.
SRS worked fine. Hopefully presets will be incorporated.
Could not talk to carrier via radio while in flight. Chalk that up to being M/P and no SDK access.
Once trapped on deck, we couldnt get the hook to unstick. Tried front and back controls
Started cold on deck and couldnt get the deck crew to launch us. But thats on ED
All in all, pretty nice mod. Looking forward to flying it more.

I haven’t tried the module, but it should not need manual rudder to coordinate turns. IIRC the Yaw Damper provides what turn coordination is necessary in the jet.
I’m not much of a DCSer, but this looks like a lot of fun!

I’m seeing lots of dutch roll when rolling out of sharp turns when I’m uncoordinated. When slow (especially making the groove turn) the inclinometer is hella slipping and I have to give it a lot of rudder.
The grim reapers have started a tutorial series on YouTube. Some helpful hints

F as in “pay respect to” or F as in the four letter “Bye”?
haha take your pick, but I think you know me well enough I meant the four letter one

I messed up the joke… It was the four letter “No”

If I could I would link the episode on [fawk] from that netflix series on swear words. It’s twenty minutes long and highly entertaining. That word can mean literally anything.

I assume that can be tweaked away. The T-45 is very docile; so much so it’s practically spin proof. It has a few interesting flight characteristics, but is mostly a very honest flyer.

Let’s be honest. You want to try it and you want to tell us about it. 
I assume you had some stick time on the real deal?

How do you turn the YD on and off? Or is it always on by default in the real jet?
Well, if I were perfectly honest, I’d want someone to come over and install and configure it as I am no DCS Jedi, and THEN I want to try it and tell you about it. 
I actually flew the A, but avionics notwithstanding, it should be very similar.
The carrier ops in DCS intrigues me, I am very carrier curious.

Here you go
-
Click the link here. Hit ‘Download’. It’ll download a file called ‘VNAO_T45_v1.0 .zip’ to your PC.
-
Double-click VNAO_T45_v1.0 .zip in your Downloads to open it. It’ll open up a window with a folder in it called ‘VNAO-T45’. Right mouse button and hit ‘Copy’ on that folder.
-
Open up Windows Explorer (the folder icon thing) and navigate to
C:\Users\(YourWindowsUsername)\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta. Note: replace the (YourWindowsUsername) bit with your username. You can click down from C:\ or just type the location where it says ‘This PC’ at the top. -
If you don’t have a ‘Mods’ folder then ‘New Folder…’ and create one and go into it. In that if you don’t have a ‘Aircraft’ folder then create one and go into it. You’re aiming to have a path like
DCS.openbeta\Mods\Aircraft. -
Paste the folder ‘VNAO_T45’ in there (that we did the Copy from in step 2).
Start DCS and configure controls under your new T-45 module etc. If you don’t want it anymore just remove that VNAO_T45 folder and it’s all good.
Everyone is born that way.
