Huge thanks to everyone that answered and gave me advice. It did make my mind up to take a gamble on the HF8 Pro which turned up a few days ago. I have to admit to being rather surprised at how different and how much better it is than the original HF8 that I couldn’t get on with at all and returned after a week. This one works well with Simshaker, doing carrier ops and flying Helos is magnificent again, and it’s taken me back to those first feelings when I got the jetseat all those years ago. Thankyou once again for the advice. cowboy10uk

How is that possible?

Yep, that would make sense. Glad it has been reported.

Now I noticed another detail: why is he comparing the Mi-8 with the Mi-24, since they have two different navigation systems? I don't know how to relate to the settings in both countries. Yes, I'm basing this on Polish experience.

I have recently finished enough of my F18 cockpit (OpenHornet inspired) and I'm at the point where I don't need the cockpit in the sim to be visible. My only issue is that when I turn on no-cockpit mode the WinWing UFC screens stop updating and stay on whatever text was there. Everything is still working (e.g. I can hit A/P and choose an autopilot mode) but the text on the screens doesn't update to show selection options. Going back to normal cockpit view and the screens update again and work like normal. Any ideas on what to do? Thanks.

+1 Moral to the story I tried to show is: don't expect people to not start asking questions when they find out something is off, because not even Shell is above scrutiny Regardless how this RB <profanity>storm ends, the big question which has come to attention is if the "VAEO insurance" is actually applicable to any current modules or was it just ED spouting BS at the time to prevent losing customer trust As this is outside the dispute and ED themselves advertised it, it is well within the ability of ED to answer this

Why are you always so bloody negative about things that doesn't concern you or affect you at all? In my country we call it mouth diarrhea. I wasn't aware there were manuals two years into this game. And as you may have noticed, quite often people are asking for them. It's not like they're practically in your face. And to be honest the user interface leaves a lot to be desired! Yes, you can click the icons, while they doesn't actually scream "Pick me! Pick me!" The Launcher is quite the step in the right direction, and has been asked for many times over the years, in which each and every post you have opposed the idea. Why do you care if the user experience for new and existing users is better and more intuitive?

Hi @MAESTR0, Thanks for the creation of the CWG map. Even in phase 1, it's awesome. I know that there are so many landmarks and monuments and you can't re-create every single one. Could you tell us something about the decision making process in what it's worth to create and what to leave aside? Having been in the area lately on vacation, monuments in Kassel and around are looking awesome. Kaiser-Wilhelm-Denkmal near Porta Westfalica is missing so: 52°14'44.7"N 8°54'23.6"E What I'm missing a bit are the details for the reservoirs and dams in the central part of Germany. The shape of the lakes / reservoirs is nice when flying up high, but going down low through the valleys by plane of even more helicopter, the water elevation changes drastically within the lake having no dam construction. This looks extremely strange at Edersee. Would be awesome if this could be created in later phases of the map. UGRA did a great job recreating the dams in Syria map, e.g. near Adana. Also the historical relevance of the Talsperren needs to be taken into account, as mentioned here in this post: Some locations of the dams: Edertalsperre / Edersee: N 51°10'56.23" E 9°03'39.43" Aabachtalsperre: N 51°29'47.77" E 8°43'11.38" Möhnesee: N 51°29'23.09" E 8°03'34.37" Sorpetalsperre: N 51°21'03.1" E 7°58'05.4" Biggetalsperre: N 51°06'39.17" E 7°53'16.44" Wiehltalseperre: N 50°56'11.14" E 7°40'03.12" Hennesee Staudamm: N 51°20'06.24" E 8°16'25.45" Diemeltalsperre: N 51°22'39.88" E 8°43'39.62" Rappbodetalsperre: N 51°44'23.45" E 10°53'34.19" Okertalsperre: N 51°51'01.59" E 10°27'34.14" Sösetalsperre: N 51°44'19.42" E 10°18'40.99" Odertalsperre: N 51°38'45.60" E 10°30'23.08" Granestausee: N 51°54'41.3" E 10°22'41.9" Innerstestausee: N 51°54'51.68" E 10°17'48.80" Eckertalsperre: N 51°50'28.50" E 10°34'47.34" Talsperre Pöhl N 50°32'57.11" E 12°10'48.38" (not in current detail area) Thanks again for the great work and listening to the community. I really enjoy using the CWG map. Jens

I have track files disabled. I’ll see what happens tomorrow…

I can't say I'll print this one, but I've certainly printed such long manuals in the past. And will again. My printer is very ink-effecient tho, and is an ink well based one so ink are much cheaper than cartridge-based ones.

What does escrow have to do with code/product standards?

could be a really neat option either for the mission editor or as a second version

Heute hat die 1./JG71 nach Bodo in Norwegen zum "GAFTIN" (German Airforce Training in Norway) verlegt, um in Kooperation mit der JTFF (Joint Task Force Frankophone) auf ihrem Server in den nächsten drei Wochen Tiefflugtraining durchzuführen und damit gemeinsam mehr traffic zu generieren und hervorragendes ATC zu nutzen. Die erste Mission war ein FAM flight in die Low Level Training Area North, um sich mit einer der zwei verfügbaren Standard-Tiefflugrouten zunächst mal bei MIndesthöhe 500ft vertraut zu machen und "Land und Leute" kennenzulernen. Nach dem Tiefflug ging es dann an den Tanker zum AAR, und schließlich über eine VFR recovery und zwei pattern mit touch and go zurück nach Bodoe, wo der Flug nach fast 2h Blockzeit endete. Schön war's! Danke an die JTFF, wir freuen uns auf weitere Missions in Norwegen. 500ft bei gemütlichen 480 kts. F-4F vor schöner Landschaft. Ready pre-contact bei ARCO 1. Kurz vor dem overhead break.

It’s a fine idea but anyone savvy enough to digest a 600 page manual will be able to find it in the directory

or! For the F4-U it's a total flip of the coin as to what way a switch/dial will flip. The F-16 is pretty good. -Ryan

any extra variant of the mig-21 the mag 3 team could add would be a very welcome miracle, i'd love to see an F-13 or PF particularly but wouldnt say no to something like an M/MF or others, just having it open the gate to the new scenarios would be well worth a new module price imo

Can you send me the tack file? Mission 10: I managed to complete it successfully. Today was a bit different than the first attempt at the mission. When the Volk-2 taxied very close to my tail after stopping on the taxiway, it stopped, waited a moment, and then took off vertically. It continued its mission independently for the rest of the mission. It immediately flew from the airport into the mountains. The Oriol-1 froze in a hover again. This time, I didn't have the colored (yellow) message about the troops being loaded, nor the information to select the cargo. After landing and selecting the report, there was no document animation, but the typewriter sound was there. Despite these minor glitches, the mission ran smoothly. I enjoyed it.

I'm aware of using a ksb export but that's to much work in my opinion.

Hi Team, Do we have an update or any sort of indication to the progress of this issue? We're coming up to the 1 year anniversary and still without a fix (smh) @JG54_NF2 @uboats @BIGNEWY

Real men fly TACAN approaches

Let's consider some light attack aircraft and see how they fit light attack aircraft role, say, counter-insurgency mission. I want to understand, in which scenario which aircraft can be used in DCS. MB-339 Pros Fast Can do high G Wide nomenclature of air-to-surface armament Rich nav equipment Cons No radar altimeter, which is bad for low level mission No air-to-air rockets, but who needs it anyway in counter-insurgency scenario? But who knows... No flares Bad support in DCS, almost six month now without updates C-101 Pros Excellent nav equipment Has radar altimeter, which is helpful in low-level missions Good air-to-surface nomenclature, MB-339 is better though (?) Has aim-9 for self-defense, but who needs it in counter-insurgency scenarios? Well... Good support in DCS, regular updates Cons Not so fast comparing to mb-339 Not so high in G, but not critical, as it's slower No flares L-39ZA Pros? Help me here Cons Not really fast Worse nav No countermeasures But L-39 has known real combat employment in multiple conflicts

Any updates you can share with us? Please do solicit public feedback on your idea before actually implementing it.

Abandonware.

Yeah, forgot to rename the folder and only named zip correctly. It's the correct version.
