I guess dropping bombs that kill people is completely fine as long as you don't curse them in the process.

I am absolutely speechless at the level of over reaction shown here, why should they change it just because one person demands it? I’m happy with the language shown. Don’t go throwing your service record around dude, we’ve all served.

Sir, In 20 years of flying tactical aircraft I heard every single cuss word you can imagine. C-21As, C-130E/H-1/H-2, C-130J, MC-130J. More deployments than I'd like to admit. Central/South America, Europe, Africa and of course the middle-east---tooooo much middle-east. I've been shot at on a handful of occasions, made the right tactical call (not perfect but the right call) and cussed like a sailor afterwords....maybe even during. I honestly can't remember. Cuss words over the radio? No. Cuss words on the ICS......lol, A TON!!!!! I'm sorry sir, but in my humble opinion cussing is a part of the military mindset, right or wrong (its wrong imho), it is. And by the way, I am a 110% God Fearing Christian Man. However, I would not shove my viewpoint down anyone's throat. Everyone has to come to their own decision as to what path they take in life. I disagree with your forcing of opinion here. Respectfully, Harbs

Ok I’m out, you can’t have reasonable conversations with fundamentalists.

With this gift, we want to say thank you for supporting us over the years and continuing to believe in us. Your support has been and still is the lifeblood of the entire IFE team. It is mainly thanks to you that the MB-339, from being a simple mod, has become a reality! In this package, you will find Italian liveries with authentic unit logos, special colors, and many liveries of the MB-339A/PAN of the "Frecce Tricolori" Italian National Aerobatic Team. We hope you enjoy them and that they make the experience in DCS World even better. After all, we know that appearance matters too!

Working on new assets for the German asset pack update.

Folks the DCS forum is not the place to have religious discussions. The OP has given feedback and I am sure HB will read it, but this thread is done. thank you

The most boomer post on this Forum.

Yes, the plans include Vigilant, Il-28, Vulcan and several other aircraft, but after the break and at a slower pace. An old scud on tracks is also planned.

You have to check all info shown on the screen whether they make sense. Some examples: * Is the steering dot stable and doesnt jump randomly * Is the ASE circle not constantly growing and shrinking rapidly * Is the Vc meaningful and not jumping, especially compared to how the target return moves on the screen * Check that Vc isnt equal to your own speed * Check that the antenna elevation moves with the target and doesnt for example stay while the target climbs/dives * Check that the target return remains visible and centered * does the screen line up with what you see visually (for example if the target moves left, but your steering dot doesnt change; or you follow the target but the steering dot and antenna suggest the target didnt move) Bad locks can happen all the time, especially if not taking extra care to avoid them. Identifying a bad lock and reattempting quickly is a crucial step. Normally the WSO would take care of it and Jester will in the future do so as well. Currently, Jester checks the SKIN TRACK lamp only, so he can identify completely bad locks, but not more.

With my advanced skill level in helicopters I'm not concerned about pre-release tutorials. The AH-64 showed I'm capable of crashing any helo, any time, in the most dramatic fashion imaginable. The CH-47 has two rotors to send skyward in dramatic fashion, so I expect some really amazing screenshots of falling wreckage. Helicopter mods fear me.

Well, you DID go off the runway and trash the jet. Stay on the runway, problem solved!

Hard disagree I don't think we need to save the youth from a voice inside a virtual plane

This is my new favorite post on this website, anyway here's a laundry list of military aircrew saying far worse than light profanities both in and out of combat off the top of my head: Second Gulf of Sidra incident, I think everyone here has heard Beads yelling about not having a fcking tone at LEAST once now F-4E supersonic guns kill on a MiG-19, if you want something more period correct F-4 ejection over the north sea RF-4C shot down by SAM, friendly warning this one's a fair bit more intense than the others F-4 after shooting down a MiG-21 F-105 wild weasels in the thick of it, gotta love the that sht hot call TURN THE HEAT OFF, yeah... IFF DB-3, saved the best for last, kills me every time

Lol

Let me share more details about the syllabus of my upcoming MIG Killers DCS campaign for the Heatblur F-4 Phantom. Its aim is to recreate the first class of Topgun in 1969 as realistically as possible.

In a recent flight in the F-4E sim I rolled off the runway. Jester immediately called, "Are you out of your G-dd---ed mind?" THIS IS UTTERLY UNACCEPTABLE IN A GAME. I flew 20 years off carriers. During that time I racked up combat missions over Iraq, Kosovo, and Afghanistan and had everything from AAA to missiles shot at me. I have been trailed by MiGs when USAF AWACS was asleep on the job in Kosovo (the Brits had to let us know what was going on). Twice my jet was misidentified as Bandit, once an F-15E was cleared to engage me BVR (and closed for a visual instead... saving my life) I have seen countless inflight emergencies, had a landing gear failure while trapping on the flight deck at night, and seen all manner of stupid in the cockpit. I HAVE NEVER HEARD ANYONE CURSE IN G-D'S NAME IN THE JET. Yes, Sailors swear. That is a given. The line is drawn entering the cockpit. Yes, aviators swear there as well, but it is both rare and typically a debrief item or is/was attached to a debrief item. To use The L-RD's name in vain was never done and has exactly no business in a game. This is beyond disgusting and needs to be fixed, yesterday. Richrach 125 combat missions over Iraq, Kosovo, Afghanistan / 625 Traps / Test Pilot

"Swear" words aren't even categorized as "taking the Lord's name in vain" if you actually read the Bible. Using God's name to preach incorrect gospel, however, is. Which doesn't even matter, because we live in a real world where real people use such language all the time. Anyone who thinks kids/teens shouldn't be exposed to this is abusive and lazy, as kids/teens will eventually encounter it anyway and need to be taught early on that perhaps they shouldn't use such language in specific contexts for specific, non-religious reasons (like professionalism, etc.), but other people do use such language as a personal choice.

As a retired Navy guy, I beg to differ. We curse all of the time! How is it possible to have a COMBAT sim with killing and someone gets upset over a curse word? There are no credentials to laid out here, but I find it REALLY difficult to believe that a COMBAT vet would have a problem with the language. We've seen, heard and been called much worse! Furthermore, if kids are playing this sim, that's a problem in and of itself! Picking and choosing which evil to be outraged about never works!

The Cold War series of large combat aircraft is complete. There will be bug fixes. Now I have made a small set of experimental aircraft. I'm trying to attach a cockpit to them. Bell X-1, X-1A and perhaps Bell X-2, the plane that reached M=3 and altitude of 40 kilometers. By the way, June 27, 1952 was his first flight.

The OP says he did it for real dude, he has no dramas with lobbing JDAM’s at people from the safety of an aircraft at altitude but don’t swear while you’re doing it. (now I’m out)

Thanks to @Admiral189 for the donation of the correct radar, the Type 42 is looking better. Beldin has done an excelent job of editing the luas. Bear in mind this model was never UV mapped, the textures are hit and miss, that being said, I like them ! Just a few minor cosmetic things to fix, and should be good for a release next month.

Correct.

36,000+ on just the fuselage alone so far in my photoshop file Ive only just notice the missing glass in the left windows, eh look at the rivets instead

Ein Wiesel in der Wiese?

Thank you for your purchase consideration, however we are unable to bring the pre-order to steam. Discount will be 20% for Early Access when it goes live, currently planned for the 3rd July.

Sorry, the DLCs are too expensive... I´ll pass.

Тогда пусть берутся сразу за Су-157, пока доделают, его придумают и снимут с вооружения на тот момент)))

This guy probably killed real people, but cursing is totally unacceptable in a computer game. Priorities are well sorted I guess.

If you pay close attention to whatever you’re using for an attitude reference (some element of the reflex gunsight usually works great for the warbirds), you can see it deviate left or right in yaw with speed, power and roll changes. When you know to look for, and actually see the deviation, it becomes pretty easy and almost second nature to correct. Helps of course to still glance down at the ball just to be sure you’re coordinated initially, so you know where exactly to hold it, but with a bit of practice you can do a surprisingly good job of flying with zero sideslip just by looking out the front. You can also use the k14 pipper (keep the lead computing element in line vertically with the static center reference) for a bit of extra help, too. I would recommend more focus be given to these techniques, rather than over-reliance on the inclinometer. I know it wasn’t quite the question being asked, but figured it may help some as it’s related.

1. If you mean is it possible to stop the gun as soon as you release the trigger, it is not. When the trigger is released the gun automatically fires and clears itself of ammunition as the barrels stop rotating. How many rounds are fired after releasing the trigger depends if the gun rate is set to high or low, there is no way to set a burst quantity. In reality the gun clearing itself might lead to unfired rounds being returned to the magazine and thus becoming unusable, but I don't believe that happens in the game. I could be wrong though. 2. Yes, you need to actively start fuel flow from externals. External tanks are fed from whatever the switch on the fuel panel is set to, either wings or center. When an external tank is feeding the internal ones, you'll see the fuel quantity on the totalizer increasing. The totalizer only displays internal fuel, there is no means of displaying external fuel. The pumps will transfer some fuel from the external tanks, then shut off for a bit which will illuminate a green advisory light on the caution panel. After a while, they will start transferring fuel again, and the light will extinguish. This is normal and repeats until the selected tanks are empty. You know your external tanks are empty when the fuel totalizer stops increasing and the green advisory light does not go away. It takes a while, so don't jump the gun and jettision tanks when you first see the totalizer stop and green light illuminate. https://youtube.com/watch?v=2u2yLEM1iHM&si=9Q1tTyrZAVGc48PU

I think he lives in Louisiana.

It's 26th June, does it answer your question?

Nice idea. Ideally I would love to convert it to an MiG-21F-13, but we'll see what time and skills allow for. Right now we're still busy with the MiG-21MF and some other possible surprises. Cheers, TeTeT

А можно ваши политические пристрастия так уж не демонстрировать? Где я писал "догнала"? Нагонять это процесс. На какой стадии разрыва возможностей можно спорить долго, но то, что разрыв сократился с конца нулевых - факт. Счёт Су-57 тоже уже идёт на десятки и сравнивать их с F-35 можно только по агиткам. Во всяком случае в отношении Су-57. Что, мягко выражаясь, моветон. И ни вы, ни я не Ванга, чтобы уверенно говорить о будущем. История с Боингом весьма показательна. И чем всё там закончится предполагать не берусь.

The hype is real for sure, I will start sharing social media posts later today and more as we approach the planned launch day on the 3rd July. thanks

Hey Harrier443, I converted a Sketchup USS Sturgeon and Vanguard Class Submarine. Both are very generic though. The Sturgeon doesn't have Perscopes but I can easily add them for looks. Both operate in DCS and they can only launch Torpedoes at the moment. If you all like I can share them. They are generic though. See the photos below. I textured them in Substance Painter so it was quick an easy. I saw a few models of the USS Sturgeon 3D model out there online for sale though if you all would like to acquire it. Hey Lomatoq, the Ukrainian kamikaze marine drones are finished. There's not much I can do with them. The only problem I see is if the ship is moving it may not hit it unless it sails right up behind the ship. They are effective especially if you use a lot of them at once but they do take some playing around with. I share them as well. Lronghost, yeah it will take a lot of coding to put that many Tomahawks on her. If the connectors are too close together they may cause some issues with the mod but i would say at least in a cell, it should work with no problem. The model I have has 22 cells. I wish ED would work on the Torpedoes because there not effective if a ship is moving. Thanks SIlver_Dragon, yep anything can be done in DCS. We're thankful to have the platform as our playground. Let me know if you all would like the release of the Generic Submarine DCS Models.

You can change the rate of fire: https://f4.manuals.heatblur.se/cockpit/pilot/pedestal_group.html#rate-of-fire-switch You have to choose between the mutually exclusive options of: * external wing tanks * external center tank * internal wing tanks only one of them can be selected at a time. You do so using the triangle switch: https://f4.manuals.heatblur.se/cockpit/pilot/left_console/center_section.html#external-transfer-switch The fuel gauge will only show internal fuel, no external fuel. The external tanks will feed the internal tanks, and engines take their fuel from the internal tanks. So you will see the gauge moving down as the engines take their fuel and then eventually the gauge will walk up again as the external tanks refill them and so on. Details here: https://f4.manuals.heatblur.se/systems/engines_and_fuel_systems/fuel_system.html#fuel-system We have created hundreds of new and unique voice files and sounds for the Phantom.

Then why does the MiG-29 manual say that this: "В связи с тем что информация по крену при радиокоррекции обновляется с частотой 18—20 Гц, сигналы радиокоррекции правильно выдаются только при угловой скорости вращения истребителя не более 60°/с (при применении ракет выпуска до июля 1986 г. — не более 30°/с). По этой причине не обеспечивается наведение ракеты Р-27ЭР на цель в инерциально-корректируемом режиме при выполнении истребителем противоракетного маневра типа «кадушка»." I think you misunderstood that part. The maneuver works, but the roll rate is limited. It is for example known that during the scanning with vertical scan there is no roll stabilization at all, the roll gimbal is locked. The radar might not be roll stabilized all at during target tracking.

Though we live in a world of increasing cussing and taking the Lord's name in vain, and those who support it don't care who it offends, I stand with you on this. Real doesn't make it right and in a controlled environment where the level of cussing could have been easily managed such as in a study sim like DCS, better choices of words could have been used without taking away from the sim.

The same stupid lines from the clown laced with profanity or not are extremely unprofessional. Critical phase of flight and the dumbass is chattering like a school girl.

This can be tweaked by editing the parameters in the smoketrail.lua file. I haven't worked out what each parameter does, but lowering the SegmentLength under A2AMissile* settings seems to produce a thicker smoke. SA2 launch modded:

Ковыряю бомбометание с горизонтального полета. Множество непоняток. Конкретно: режим Laydown-L. Пока что получается фигня. Кто-нибудь познал это кунг-фу? По чек-листам не требуется ввод бомбинг таймера, и Джестер его не трогает. Тогда получается перелёт. Бомбинг калькулятор считает flight time, но когда его вводишь сам, получается недолет. Терзал CBU 87 с превышением 3000-9000 футов над целью. Зачем начал ковырять? Познал страшную силу Фантома с 14-ю 87-ми)) В DT сносит нафик всё, главное попасть) Но нырять под ПВО не хочется сильно. Есть подозрение, что этот режим калькулирует кластерные бомбы исходя из того, что бомбы раскрываются почти сразу после сброса и баллистика заточена под суб-боеприпасы, а не под саму болванку.

I only want a wiesel to put inside my chinook

The team are about to kick off the restoration of the right hand side cockpit avionics consoles that we have in our stores. The consoles will require some light panel beating to remove dents, and will be stripped of paint and given fresh primer and finish coats. In addition, we will need to fabricate a missing sidewall panel and source some avionics install tracks and supporting brackets.

I've had the same issue lately, unfortunately it happens more often than not. However, I found that this issue is also present on other aircraft such as the Phantom and Hornet, but after I've flown in the Kiowa with this issue.
