I am the same, I am getting a bit overrun with all the complexities of the jets, take my hat off to the pilots but to be honest they dont spend 8 hours a day writing contracts then try and learn to fly in their spare time. I actually wanted a module like this in DCS because I dont like MSFS, it never seems right. The DCS World always feels authentic and whilst I dont doubt this will be a complex beast looking at the cockpits, MFDs and those Data Input panels the A-10 has (sorry forgot the name MCDU??) I like the idea of learning to fly a Herc, my mate was a Loady on the C-130 and he always used to say "low and slow is the only way to go" spending 6 hours plus transiting from the UK to Cyprus or wherever I didnt agree with him!

Oh, I figured out the issue now, the pilots have to steer the hud reticle to the cpg crossing, and then there will be launch approval. otherwise it won’t shoot

I hope it's okay if I hijack the thread and add my own mini review. I just finished the campaign and I love it. Awesome entertainment, brilliant mission design, great immersion. I particularly liked the crowded skies in the later missions that conveyed this feeling of "Holy cow, that's a lot of aircraft and there's gotta be a lot of fighting going on here, I'm just a tiny part in a large war". If I had 3 wishes, these would be: Different air pressures. Hard to believe that it's always exactly 29.92 inHg in Afghanistan over an entire fighting season. FARPs that allow for rearming and refueling, especially in the longer missions with (relatively) many hostiles. A voice for the player. I understand writing dialog, adding VOs and subtitles is a ton of work. It just felt odd that James would do all the talking while Leo was always mute. Don't force players to use a particular weapon or tactic. (Yes, that was item 4 out of 3, I know ). I said it before, I'll say it again, this campaign is top notch. If you could get voice actors to record all the lines of dialog, this would be 100% payware material IMHO. Thank you YoYo, amazing work!

Уважаемые друзья и коллеги! Я конечно не без греха, подтупливаю бывает, возраст и всё такое, и сегодняшняя фраза (или предложение, как кому)из пятничных новостей: "Новыми самолётами для этого театра станут F6F-3 Hellcat и the A6M5 Zero.", меня слегка озадачила. Немного полазив по форуму, я у западных камрадов наткнулся на новосозданную тему: "DCS: A6M5B Zero" каждый пост которой изливается словами благодарности (разработчикам, полагаю). В связи с чем у меня возник вопрос: а что был анонс какой-то? А если и был, не мог бы кто-нибудь из уважаемых коллег ткнуть, так сказать, меня в него носом?

Yes I did. Once I landed at Senaki I taxi to the end of the runway, and I see the rearming\refueling trucks moving to their respected locations. But the Follow Me vehicle just stays stationary. on the taxiway.

Warbird pilots, are you looking for a squadron to fly with? We’ve been a squadron for quite some time, but now we have 4 servers running that we use regularly to refine our skills. All of our servers start with the same name… WWII_ACE_ … You can run a search and make a favorite of all four. We are very laid back and shoot each other text messages when we go online - if this sounds good to you, please join our discord (link below) and one of us will make contact so we can meet up in the air! We also use SRS for communications. Can help you set that up. Looking forward to flying with you! |41| ChuckIV - EBC https://discord.gg/WM7KdV5Skb

If "the community" can be split by an assets pack that costs little in the first place and also comes with a 30% discount, then the community isn't worth very much. This endless song and dance about how this, that, and everything else, "splits the community" is getting very old and very tired.

I'm using 572.42. No problems on my end and I won't update until the newer version offers some significant improvements.

Don- the developer is aware of the radio navigation bug and it will hopefully be fixed in the next update.

How many different asset packs are there to Massun's pack? I'm still trying to play some old A-4E missions and I'm either missing some Massune pack item or a Tetete item... It's frustrating as hell when these threads become all convoluted and you don't know what you are missing.

At 6:35 : It seems something is off with the chutes and high drag bomb speeds are very slow when in terminal velocity, though. Maybe something changed since your comment.

Not that I have anything against it, but you look a little out of it.

any chance you know what value the script needs? tried flipping through the luas and am not sure what code is responsible for the actulal telemetry...

Could we get a road network which can be followed by AI ground units using the 'on-road' command in the mission editor? Also, maybe some trains native to DCS which we can put on the narrow gauge rail network? I think these would make a great addition to the map.

With such methods its best to do a lower and upper estimate which will give you a reasonable range of results. It can be difficult to get exact measurements from photos but depending on how accurate you want to be they can suffice for a reasonable estimate.

The new damage is ridiculous and has destoyed the ability to do CAS missions as bombs now kill friendlies 300+ metres away..meaning it's difficult go get troops close enough to fire...and be safe from friendly bombs....and you now blow yourself up when dropping retarded bombs at altitudes from which you should be safe. Nonsense. The lethal radius to a person for a 500lb bomb is about 20 metres.....in DCS it's now over 300 metres! The entire DCS damage modelling needs to be redone as it's an utter joke.

Those units are in the game already. The asset pack units are seperate

Yeah, that is an odd thought. It would be effectively spread across all modules, much like the modern assets, not linked to a single aircraft.

That announcement was about the AI units provided for free within the DCS core at the launch of the Corsair ... it said nothing about an assets pack. And adding a US$ 30 pack cost onto the price of the aircraft seems odd to me.

Does flying main ops weekends mean Fri, Sat, & Sun or a rotation of these days?

Roll the asset pack cost into the price of the aircraft please. You are needlessly fracturing multiplayer with (micro? macro?) transactions. The announcement at the end of May seemed like you had corrected course, but now you are completely walking it back.

Really need one in there. Not just for WWII, but for later scenarios too.

Indeed. Would love for it too work on AI too. I made a fleet defence mission. I had 4 Corsair doing CAP over the fleet at 4500 feet. Since the nerfing of the AI omniscience. The AI simply couldn't see and engage the japense torpedo bombers flying at 500 feet.

Well, for a SIM a monitor can never be too large I play DCS with the 57" version of the Odyssey since Nov 24. Looking now at a normal 27" monitor seems like looking into a narrow tunnel. You get used to a larger monitors pretty quick and if there will be even wider monitors available sometimes I am a potential customer.

Pacific Theatre of Operations 1944 Assets Pack Update Since the release of the free DCS: Marianas WWII map and the Magnitude 3 DCS: F4U-1D Corsair, we want to provide an update on the extensive effort being devoted to bringing this scenario to life with the PTO Assets Pack. Learning from some of the European Theatre of War scenarios, the PTO scenario is focused on providing an extensive order of battle for both US and Imperial Japanese forces in the summer of 1944 and to offer an accurate representation of the battle for the Mariana Islands and the Battle of the Philippine Sea. New player aircraft coming for this scenario will include both the F6F-3 Hellcat and the A6M5 Zero. Since our last update on this project, we can now share with you the specific air, land, and sea units being developed for the PTO Assets Pack, which owners of the existing World War II Assets Pack will be able to purchase with a 30% discount: PTO AI Assets: United States Aircraft F6F “Hellcat” SB2C “Helldiver” TBF “Avenger” SBD-5 “Dauntless” PBY “Catalina” P-38L “Lightning” United States Ships Enterprise aircraft carrier Casablanca-class light aircraft carrier Independence-class light aircraft carrier New Orleans-class heavy cruiser Baltimore-class heavy cruiser Cleveland-class light cruiser Fletcher-class destroyer Liberty-class transport Cimmaron-class oiler United States Ground Forces M4A2 Sherman M3A1 “Stuart” light tank LVT-4 tracked landing vehicle LVT(A)-4 tracked landing vehicle DUKW-353 amphibious truck US Marine Corp infantryman US Navy Carrier personnel US Navy seaman Imperial Japanese Aircraft A6M5 “Zero” D4Y “Judy” D3A “Val” B6N “Jill” Imperial Japan Ships Shokaku aircraft carrier Chitose light aircraft carrier Kongo battleship Mogami heavy cruiser Agano-class light cruiser Yugumo-class destroyer Kagero-class destroyer Kashino-class transport Imperial Japanese Ground Forces Type 94 Tankette Type 95 Ha-Go tank Kurogane Type 95 car Type 97 Te-Ke tank Type 97 Chi-Ha tank Type 97 ShinHoTo tank Type 2 Ka-M amphibious tank Type 1 47mm anti-tank gun Type 98 20mm anti-aircraft gun Type 91 10cm towed artillery Type 92 70mm towed artillery Type 10 120mm anti-aircraft gun Imperial Japanese Army Infantryman Japan Navy seaman Bye Phant
