Any combat flight simmers out here? (www.digitalcombatsimulator.com)

Is there a federated r/hoggit-like place already? What should a federated hoggit be called? Foggit? Or just [email protected]?

As for me personally, I mostly fly helicopters and mid-late cold war jets (guess my favorite) in DCS though I sometimes do MSFS and have previously flown X-Plane (7,8,11).

I use a VR headset, HP Reverb G2, with Virpil HOTAS and MFG pedals. Ryzen 5800X3D with an RTX3080.

Hey there. I mainly fly the F/A-18 Hornet in DCS on the Hoggit server.

I use a mix of VKB stuff, the WinWing Hornet controllers, and custom 3D printed stuff for my sim rig.

I’ve written up some of my projects:

http://gloryfish.org/project/macropad

I fly in VR with the Index.

I always love to hear about heli folks since I fell in love with simming way back in the day playing Gunship 2000.

I would dive in but I presently don’t have room to bolt a collective to my office chair. :P

Wow, those DIY projects look impressive! No need for a collective to fly helicopter, I also use a regular throttle. If you're interested, just activate a trial and reach out if you want a wingman. I can fly most helicopters except the Apache, but I prefer the Mi-24, Gazelle and Mi-8. I usually fly on Central-European evening time.
