Sadly, I had no F4 time. Between the Reserves and Fleet, there were maybe six Navy Phantom squadrons left when I got to Oceana. VF74 and 103 finally transitioned to the F14 during my first deployment. Throughout my career, there were lots of former F4 drivers around, almost all of the Fleet CO/XOs had flown them in combat in SEA. Lot's of wisdom, lots of sea stories that had you on the edge of your seat. My primary instructor in Advanced Strike in the TA4J had flown F4's in combat as well, and was also a former test pilot. Very serious and demanding, but fair. He helped my career a lot, probably got me into fighters, but I don't know for sure. The A4 and F4 had similar instruments, which you will find very user friendly compared to the VDI in the Tomcat. My reserve squadron had transitioned from F4's to F14's six months or so before I showed up. Also, VFMA-112 was sitting across the ramp which gave us plenty of engagements and cooperative flying as well using the F4S. The biggest issue we had with the F4 guys initially was getting them to recalibrate the speeds for maneuvers. The Phantom needed about a hundred to a hundred and fifty knots more for similar maneuvers. First time we went to the ship for a mini workout, our CO was "holding" waiting for our Charlie Time overhead the ship at around 350 knots, lapping all of the Tomcat guys sauntering at the normal ~230KIAS Max Conserve. After having to dodge him a couple of times, somebody finally came up on squadron tac and said, "Hey Skipper, slow down, this isn’t an ACM engagement!" The most memorable F4 pilot I had the pleasure of meeting was CDR Ralph Gaither, who spent seven and a half years in Hoa Lo Prison in Hanoi after being shot down as a 23 year old Ensign in VF84. In 1965, he was flying Phantoms off of USS Independence, shot down, and wasn’t released until 1973, right before turning age 31. When I met CDR Gaither he was CO of DWEST Survival School in Pensacola. At the time, was a 23 year old Ensign as well, who suddenly realized that all of my problems seemed awfully small. When he walked into a room, everyone snapped to, and you could hear a pin drop. He also was the humblest, happiest guy I ever met in the USN. I don't think that he ever had a bad day. Right before I got to VF84, the squadron had sent him a plaque, because he had never received the traditional farewell swag after he was shot down. He passed away in 2019. http://veterantributes.org/TributeDetail.php?recordID=71 Hopefully this provides a little motivation and perspective. You're going to love the Phantom when it drops.

The development of the La-7 flight model is now complete, and the assembly and preparation of the necessary documentation for certification is in progress. Unique features have been implemented like the decrease in lifting force when the side cowl flaps are fully opened due to the deterioration of the aerodynamics of the wing root. The above graph demonstrates expected and actual La-7 performance in DCS. From this and other reports, OctopusG will be providing an excellent simulation of the flight performance and characteristics of this famous warbird. An armament system has been completed and includes a bomb-aiming control system. Please enjoy this DCS: La-7 Bombing video and pay special attention to the mechanical details. In this second short video, the cockpit canopy locking system is demonstrated: La-7 Canopy mechanics. In this example, it is important to note that the effect of airflow is present. A wide collection of liveries are being prepared that will continue to expand. The damage model is complete, a quick manual has been written, and 2D for the GUI art has been created. The product is now being finalized for early access. Please stay tuned for the planned launch date. Esquadra 701 MP Server The Portuguese virtual squadron Esquadra 701 celebrated six years of operation this year with nearly 5000 hours in operations. This group established A-10C, AV-8B, F-15E, F-16C F/A-18C, and AH-64D training procedures based on real-life operations. It is divided into three divisions: the land-based 1st Division "Talons", the carrier-based 2nd Division "Makos", and the training and support 3rd Division "Pythons". The group also has a sub-division for helicopter and aerobatic team operations, the "Lusitanos". Esquadra 701 runs a dedicated server for training and scheduled missions. They also have a very active Discord server that is open to all. The squadron regularly organises events to bring new pilots to the group, called "Open Skies" on Discord. Thank you again for your passion and support, Yours sincerely,

For now it is a working deco piece, until I figure out how to integrate it into my ghetto pit. Leaves me with some time to pimp a part or two.

920 has been fixed, please download again This 920 model and texture are not good enough, if there are better ones to redo in the future In the future, we will develop the 919 medium-sized medical ship, Nanyi 12

Everyone at ED and HB is doing everything they can to make sure it's ready for all of you, which can take more time than planned. When we have a more solid idea of when it will come we will share for sure. I do not think it will be long now, although I know the wait is painful. We appreciate everyone's patience no matter how thin it's stretched right now. Thanks.

That joke really doesn’t get any better by the 100th repetition. Get creative at least…..

On develop La-7 Octopus-G, On final Stages. Develop pics

Too late….the SPRING sale just started…..winter is over……

As much as I am looking forward to this Module getting released this year, I Initially was quite excited to see it in the Forum header. But eventually it could cause some concerns here. Given the current times I would have chosen a different Livery for this banner, here in the Forum and also on the Webshop. I enjoyed the strict neutrality until now! Also given it will be released as a 80s module it should be advertised with an according Livery.

I know its hard, but I think as with all of HB's offerings, it will be worth the wait.

Hey everyone, I'm putting the final touches on my new 'combat rescue' sandbox mission "Cesar Caucasus" - if you'd like a sneak peek, provide feedback, and help stress-testing the mission, please head over to "cfrag's DML testbed" (a hosted server, no password) and take your favorite helicopter out for a spin. In short: pick up the blue guys by landing close to them, then bring them back to the field hospital (marked with red smoke). Be advised, this is a COMBAT mission sandbox. If you feel that you are a member of the sierra hotel club, cross the yellow line to the north. If you do, bring a buddy. Please provide any feedback here or pm me. Thanks to all (especially @bitboy and @HungryCoyote) for their feedback - much of it has found its way into the mission. After the stress-test completes in a couple of days, I will make the mission available to everyone for download from ED's user files. Thanks, -ch

Yep, I have a couple of prototypes of like that since a while back. I'm trying out new things.

I'm surprised the heating standby mode of the 3 way radar energized switch is still bugged and not fixed as this has been a day one problem since early access started. In it's current state with the radar in this mode targets can be detected and seen on the radar screen, and locked (although no icon shows on the hud, and no weapons can be guided) and the detected planes own RWR i believe cannot detect the the F1 radar emissions (because in this mode there are no emission) yet as mentioned there are contact returns from these "non-emissions" visible on the screen that can then be locked. I get that we've all become used to it, but I don't think we need to wait for the complete radar overhaul to have had this long persisting bug fixed by now.

Ла-7 Что нового Наши партнёры из компании OctopusG проделали огромную работу и завершили работу по лётной модели. Разработка DCS: Ла-7 выходит в финальную фазу, идет окончательная сборка и подготовка необходимой документации для этапа сертификации. Летная модель учитывает даже такие нюансы как уменьшение подъемной силы при открытии створок охлаждения, из-за падения аэродинамического качества корневой части крыла. График сверху показывает соответствие референсных и фактических показателей текущей модели при открытии створок и выходе предкрылков. Разработчики достигли весьма точного совпадения характеристик. Система вооружения полностью отработана и обеспечивает бомбометание с использованием стандартного прицельного оборудования. Смотрите видеокурс DCS: Ла-7. Бомбометание (на русском) и обратите внимание на прекрасную правдоподобность работы продемонстрированных механических узлов. На втором видео показана работа запорных узлов фонаря кабины: Ла-7 Работа замков. Обратите внимание на эффекты воздушного потока. В настоящее время готовится обширная коллекция ливрей, которая будет расширяться. Уже завершена работа по модели повреждений и подготовлено краткое руководство для быстрого старта. Дополнительно создан 2D-арт для графического интерфейса DCS. Сейчас продукт проходит стадию финальной подготовки для раннего доступа. Планируемая дата выпуска будет объявлена позднее, следите за новостной лентой нашего канала.

Еще раз спасибо за энтузиазм и поддержку! Искренне с Вами,

here we go Winter

wenn sie es jetzt um ein Jahr verschieben würden, währe ich auch echt angesäuert. habe auch schon vorbestellt an tag 1. aber so auf den Tag festfressen finde ich immer etwas, naja kindisch nicht böse gemeint aber je älter ich werde desto gelassener werde ich wenn es um so etwas geht .) dafür ist das Leben zu wertvoll

For the past several years, we have released DCS in two forms: the Open Beta, which includes the most recent changes to allow broad testing and the Stable version which is based on the most recent Open Beta and has no known crashes, thus the term Stable. In 2024, we will be moving to unified DCS updates. This change has been a common customer request and will streamline our release process. We believe that it will also help avoid version confusion for both single-player missions and multiplayer servers. Starting with our first update of the year in February, we will also be making the same changes to the DCS Steam Edition. You do not need to take any action other than update as usual, your current version will continue to update and everyone will be on the same version number going forward. thank you ED Team

Does anyone have any tracks handy? Otherwise I will work on some tomorrow. Thanks. From Dev: "Datalink should work on the ground once it is turned on and timed into the network. Otherwise it is a bug indeed. Same for symbols being not visible on HMCS, but visible on TAD. I would appreciate tracks or at least missions with steps to reproduce." Thanks

No news or updates? Have I missed something? The silence is defining. Not mad, definitely not surprised, just disappointed.

i hope one of them would be F-35 family

Which Phantom Nose do y'all find most aesthetically appealing? I myself find the B/N nose to be the most appealing, with its smaller nub.

I watched quite a lot of videos of ballistic missile arrivals, almost all of them fall at a very high angle, almost 70-85 degrees. But in mods such missiles are easily shot down and have vulnerable flat trajectories at long ranges. Can't penetrate AD zones. Maybe it’s worth changing the scheme of all your ballistic missiles to a “cruise missile” with a flight altitude of 45-60 km? Is it better to have an angular flight profile than a flat one? 1. Perfect ballistic, can't be done due to game resources encryption 2. Current ballistic missile simulation in mods 3. What I am propose. Take the scheme of a cruise missile and give it the characteristics of a ballistic missile - high speed and high flight altitude

Простой вопрос: когда прикрутят ось тормозов к Су-25? Это просто «ночь в музее», когда из доступных колесных тормозов только «W» и тому подобное, назначенное.

There's been no confirmation that DX11 and Vulkan will run side by side. as for ST, all the new effects (ScreenSp, Ray tracing etc) and the Upscaling have been coded for MT and do not work in ST.

When they have news, they will share! [emoji16] Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk

The F-35A would be a great complement to the B-21 asset.

Yeah same here, rain is bad, snow is even worse.

Ich muss mich meinem Vorredner anschließen. Das erste Mal schlaflose Nächte hatte ich Weihnachten 22, das Modul war bis Jahresende angekündigt. Damals hat es schon gefühlt "ewig" gedauert bis es offiziell verschoben wurde. Ein Jahr später, wir haben Winter. Nun endet dieser aber am 20.03 und bis heute, 5 Tage vor der selbst gesetzten Deadline, nur Schweigen. Ich bin ein großer HB Fan, aber langsam fühle ich mich verärgert. Mir würde es langen wenn das Flight Model stimmt und alles "Flug" bezogene so weit funktioniert. Der ganze Radar / Waffen Kram kann wegen meiner über Updates gefixt werden. Ich will einfach das Ding in VR genießen, jetzt. Auch wenn ich schon etwas älter bin, bezüglich der F-4 werde ich zum quengeligen Kind welches schreiend sich auf dem Boden vor dem Süßigkeiten Regal wälzt.

Having that mission set in DCS would be a blast.

Lieber noch länger warten, als dann Probleme zu haben. Ist ja nicht so, das man nicht sowieso zuviele Moldule hat

I remember at one time there were some Vietnam SEA liveries for the C-130H posted in the user files. I can't seem to find them anymore but I do have them, let me put them together and I'll post a link.

What I see is that you use the QFE for waypoint 2, which is at 289 ft elevation, whereas the units are located at an elevation of 166 ft. So the difference is 120 feet which is ~35 meters, but this seems not the real problem here. What I noticed is the following: Once the aircraft is near or even below the weapon safety height (in this mission it is set to MEDIUM), it doesn't work too well If above the safety altitude, everything seems fine It also makes a difference if a dive angle or level flight is flown (bombs would then fall shorter) For such type of attack I would prefer DYK though.

La-7 was shot down by F-4E.

So cool.

Good to see you guys keeping our morale up...indeed, this is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

The AI isn't useless and some of what you want can be done now. One method is to give the AI preplanned tasks in the ME and then order them to follow those tasks with the F10 wingman F6/7 options. The interface does need improvement though. From basic things like an option to control second element directly to more choices and detail to pass to wingmen. I personally do not like wheels, including the Jester wheel. I've made my own thread on the subject: There is support for this change, though differing opinions on how to do it. It seems like we might need both a flatscreen and VR menu at least.

No night gloves on Soviet / Rusian FC-3 aircrafts. No plans by ED about a P-38 or il-2 module

threads merged. thank you

No, Amman has recently been added! To my utmost surprise I may add. Al Azraq AB was requested by several people, including me, but I never expected Ugra to also add this massive city. There have been some complaints in the past in regard to lack of bug solving and response (ahum... kneeboard.. ), but imo Ugra redeemed themselves. This last update was truly impressive if you ask me.

Exactly, and believe me it's just as frustrating for us too. We work months, sometimes years to give people a great experience, only to learn that no matter how hard we work on setting these missions up, to make sure they work, well, they just may not work at all due to the way the MT engine is set up. If I sell something I need to be able to guarantee that it works. Period. And I understand that this is not an easy one to fix, but it has been in public release for the past 15 months. 15.

J & similar. The E is too loong. Not as aesthetically pleasing.

So I've done some work on the old CV-16 MOD that Markindel has posted on the DCS site. Because that and the Type 002 are so close the Runway lua I have for the old CV-17 works with your Type 002. I will still need to adjust the runway position and taxi routes but the spawn spots loaded on the first try. I'll get the files to you in a few days after I test. You guys can use them if you want

No one old enough to play DCS, especially anyone who fancies themselves an adult, should be falling apart over a video game release date. Joking and humor are natural and add to the fun, but drama and victimhood over such banter is not normal. I would add that it's astonishing to see people here who enjoy history participate in the complaining. From avatars and comments, it's obvious that many of you idolize Robin Olds, who overcame enormous obstacles during his career, and constantly demonstrated courage and strong leadership, yet his admirers get pulled into being upset over extremely trivial matters. You would think that studying the lives of such men (look up James Stockdale) would promote resilience and some level of stoicism. Pre-Orders offer a significant discount in return for the uncertainty and inevitable difficulties in software development and release date projections. It’s a welcome opportunity, all things considered.

Someone needs to remember that ED has the final say on a "release." Third parties have no control over them. If the module doesn't get a "sign-off" from the QA team, any "release date" will be forgotten, fixing whatever needs to be fixed, and it will need to be rescheduled for another round of QA, and only when they have the test, will it be prepared. for release in a future patch.

Lots of these needed around here.

we can not give specific release dates until we are 100% sure of them, you may not like that, but that is how it is. thanks

Yeah, no. That may be true in anecdotic cases, but not in general. The general problem is, that software can be eye-watering complex and it is close to impossible to catch all bugs with a finite amount of developers and testers (and time and budget of course). Something like DCS has probably a 100 to a 1000 times more lines of code than a simulator 20 years ago. Also - from a business point of view. Developers can't wait for their salery until the last bug is squished. They would never receive their paycheck. And to pre-finance a developement nowadays is very hard. I wouldn't always project malicious intend into everything....
