How heavy have you been in the pattern? How far above sea-level was the airport? How hot was the air? Since the flight-model overhaul I've noticed the Hornet tends to get fast in the base-turn when you are heavy and/or the air is hot like it can be in Nevada for example. When you decend in that turn like you've learned to do, you will get very fast very quick and overshoot the runway by far.

I though the same, so I push a bit of accelerate time (I really don't know how much I waited) but nothing. Maybe I'll try a bit more.

Given the fact there is a FAQ on their Discord, but not in this forum I've decided to copy it in here so people can find it better. From the FAQ on Airplane Simulation Company Discord as by August the 2. : Q. Which variants are planned? A. Stage 1- C-130J Block 6.5 Hercules, Tactical airlifter C-130J-30, Lockheed Martin designation for its 15 ft (4.6 m) extended fuselage variant; designated CC-130J by USAF for a short time after 2002., Release timeline to be confirmed for the following at a later date: MC-130J, Designed for Air Force Special Operations Command. Originally named Combat Shadow II., Q. Are the C130H or legacy models planned? A. No. Q. What is the expected release date? A. By the end of 2025. Q. Will the C-130J be able to transport weapons? A. We intend for the C-130 to be able to carry any warehouse items between bases. Q. CNI/FMS? A. Yes, a fully simulated FMS is included. We have also modeled airways/SIDS/stars, etc. Q. MOAB? A. Yes! Q. Will there be an AC variant? A. Depending on sales, we will consider an AC / Harvest Hawk in the future. Q. Airdrops? A. Yes for cargo and vehicles. Paratroops will be added when ED puts them in game. Q. Multicrew? A. Yes, at least 3. Q. Cargo Loading/Unloading without needing scripts? A. Yes. Any cargo dropped or landed will be added to the DCS warehouse system. Q. What defensive systems will the plane have? A. The plane will have an RWR, MWS, and IIRCM systems. The fidelity levels of these are limited by both the availability of unclassified information on those systems, as well as DCS itself. Q. What skins will be available? A. The list is unconfirmed at the time as there are so many national operators, but the artist will produce a paintkit in the future, after release, for livery makers. Q. Will we add the fuel probe? A. Possibly in future after initial release Hope this one will prevent some confusion and give answers to people who aren't using Discord. As soon as a more official FAQ arrives, this one can be closed and put into archives.

So cool, will be training!

Just curious, why would you need to change it in each aircraft? In W10 I changed 1 key in each of my 2 HOTAS devices (makes 2 changes in total) and had all ID's I needed. Is that different in W11?

I needed a break from my editing heavy Saipan campaign. So did a short 3 vs 4 Dogfight. Man, I'm rusty in the F-4. And it's been weeks since I’ve flown any jet in DCS. I somehow got a double kill with Sparrows, I fired one sparrow it didn’t seem to track, so I moved my sight over another MiG and fired another sparrow point blank. And hit it, but apparently my first sparrow continued to track and hit my first target too. Didn’t think that was possible. Using the Sparrow E2 “dogfight sparrow”

I don't know where you got the idea that the Mi-24 is a cobra. It's not an airplane. Sudden braking is normal in a helicopter. You have to remember that you can't exceed +/- 30°. At too low a speed, exceeding operational limits, you can fall on your tail. We call this "złapać zwierza" (catching the animal). If you did everything as described in the mission, the Wilk maneuver is perfect. I added 20 km/h to make sure it would be okay. As Raven wrote, the return route to base is chosen to be as safe as possible. Generally, the entire route is planned with flight safety and fuel consumption in mind.

Hi, I have been searching for any photos or documents containg kneeboard datacards used by USAF or F-16 pilots in particular. Does anyone know where could I find them? I know there are some datacards taken from Weapons Deliver Planer from BMS but I'm more interested in the real thing. Thanks

Any ETA on vulkan?

btw i wrote the doc that was posted when i did this operation of moving DCS to another computer april 2021. go slow and hit each step. i am following this topic so come back if you need help.

I'm in the process of making comparison GIF for all aircraft. So far, I made 6 of them and I can tell you that: HUD boldness is not affected by resolution for the following aircraft: JF-17 (the result is very clean) A-10C Ka-50 (the result is poor because characters are much too bold, whatever the resolution) EDIT: AH-64 HUD boldness is indeed affected by resolution for the following aircraft: AV-8B F-16 F/A-18C EDIT: F-15E affected too, even though it's less striking I stand corrected about the AV-8B. This GIF method is the best I could find to demonstrate the issue (even to myself). Thanks for pushing me harder when it's needed, gents. Once I'm finished, I'll report all affected aircraft individually.

Another month and another question.....when? August 2025 meanwhile..... so i assume zero progress in that topic

Are we going to have any updates soon? I don't think we've had any significant updates in ~2 years. Have the 'new' clouds been abandoned?

Hi Calvin Is this also for the OG Crystal as it seems to be forgotten.

@DSplayer Thank you so much for this beautiful cockpit. A comment for the comments regarding the wear state etc: At some point, the a/c was out of the factory, right? So it is just a matter of taste. I can confirm that lately the cockpit mods are not working. Though, I managed to installed it with the use of OvGME targeting to files to installed in the core DCS directory and the directory string to be: AC Mod - F-14 Factory Clean Cockpit (DSplayer)\Mods\aircraft\F14\Textures In the folder: "Textures" add the files found in the "F14B_Cockpit\default" directory as you download them. Edit: It appears not to pass IC...

I think the ECM takes some time to warm up before you can use it. How long did you wait after putting it into ON and trying to activate it?

Finally got around to checking (been to busy with the other F4. But using that does not help at all. Aircraft shake violently during tracks.

Hi, I set the ECM to both self-protect mode and barrage mode at startup. I used both functions during combat with the ECM enable light on as it should be. On the way back, I turned the ECM off and then back on, following normal procedures for turn on ECM in barrage mode (ECM mode, countermeasures set, etc.). However, the ECM enable light never came on again with the aft command in barriage mode, as if the ECM was no longer functional. I experience the same problem turning on for the first time the ECM when in flight instead of at F16 startup. Maybe do I miss somthing? Thanks for your help.

Looking forward to it

Is it possible to publish the manual earlier, before the EA version is released? So I can read it then before ?

thx
