I think he does not understand the difference between AFM and Full clickable cockpit The A-10A has only Full AFM. And the A-10C has Full AFM and a Fully useable avionics suit with clickable cockpit. Please correct me if i'm wrong. The SU-27 and F-15 have no AFM yet (No clickable cockpit and no fully useable avionics only AFM). But they are working on AFM for both of those planes. When thats done you can do your super duper cobra maneuvre. Please do that Cobra maneuver when i'm playing online with you. Makes you a more easy target.

Wished i knew that a year ago :) Now i know why they still keep shooting me down when they are heavely damaged. Thanks Frostie.

Haha.. Yes it's diffecult to fly really organised with random people on TS and no plannnig and training on how to act when in a pack of aircrafts.

That was fun flying. First time in the MIG-29S. It's not that diffecult if you fly with 4 others:)

AMRAAM now only works against unexperienced pilots and AI that barely do any evasive maneuvres. You won't hit any experienced pilot if you shoot outside the 15 miles and most of the time you even mis them below 15 miles. When playing online i shoot 1 AMRAAM around 14 miles to let them go defensive and for all the other AMRAAM shot's i try to get close to 8.5 miles to get a 90% hit chance. I even had a cople times that i was chasing a bandit Mig-29 only 3.4 miles distance wasting all my AMRAAM's. I was flying 700 miles and had altitude advantage. That Mig-29 didn't even had to chaff. I barely shoot at targets that are running away from me unless i want to force them into defensive.. But this one was so close i tought it would be a certain kill. But my Mach 3 Amraam could not even reach him. I call BS.

Amazing :)

Sounds are great when fighting in the F-15 without canopy :) You can actually hear the missile launches clearly without it. It's nice. :joystick:

Most of the time when i use the updater it downloads around 4 mb/s. But sometimes it's around 400 to 800 kb/s. So don't see alot wrog there. Maybe the fluctuating part. But thats the same in STEAM so now and then.

Sorry but this is BS. You cannot compare a clock reset with a menu where you can change controls or graphics options. if you could than other games would not be able to implement this feature as well. You people act like it's a impossible thing while other games have it standard. You should not be required to pause a game when changing options even in MP. That’s just by design. I think it's annoying. But i can live with it. Already living with it since the beginning. Only felt the urge to speak up now because it was addressed in this topic. And when playing MP i sometimes feel like changing the controls just because i feel that i made a wrong choice. Or because my game FPS is dropping with current graphics settings. And you can't test your graphics settings in SP and have the same result in MP. If i have to change options or controls now while playing in MP i just quit the game and change it next time when I’m starting a new MP session. Even when i want to continue playing i don't want to go through the hassle of quitting loading testing quit again load again test again and then in MP you figure out while playing for a couple hours that what you configured actually isn't as handy as you thought. This game is already demanding as it is. So at least make the interface and GUI more user friendly to avoid frustration as much as possible. I can’t image that this would be more work than usual. Off course it's just a inconvenience and I think i made some good points. So i will stop arguing this.

Why should it require to pause the mission?? Seriously.. don't you see the advantages for new and old players. When playing any other game in MP, including flight simm's i can change the controls on the ground or mid air. Or any other graphics option. So i don't think that reason is not valid. What a choas would it be if i had to close Arma when playing in MP because i think anothe rkey combination is better. Or that i have to lower my graphics or view distance. in DCs i don't even feel like changing it anymore because i get sick of booting out of 2 different applications from MP to SP back to MP. only to figure out a hour later that i actually want it configured slightly another way. Or that my frame rate drops in MP because this and that graphic option is set to high while in SP that graphic setting works great. yes i do expirement with graphics options and control options during playing. Because that saves me alot of time. The only time i start SP is when i have to configure options and graphics. It's probably because of engine limitation. But if so than i find it a big design flaw. I do not complain alot about DCS and i lived with this shortcomming from the beginning of times without any complaints. I wanted to complain.. But i was like.. Ahh they are to bussy doing other cool stuff. Than we finally get it and it's still a disapointment for me. And i see and hear for alot of others as well. Changing controls and graphics in MP also helps with new players not being frustrated by silly stuff. And would help with reducing alot of questions in-game because they can simply go to the controls. Most new people that jump in want to see how awesome this game is in MP. Not everybody fly's with a keychart and such.

LoL i was happy as well when in the update it stated that you could open the controller menu and options menu from in-game. So i jumped in MP and i think i tried for 15 minutes to open the control window. Than i became suspicious and got out of the game to read the forums about this. Huge disapointment that the controls are not accesible from MP in-game and only single player. I keep asking msyelf why they make the SP different than MP. It should be exactly the same with the same features. But nooooo.. Log book not working in MP (only with mod), controls menu not working in MP. It's like they decided for us we don't like that. Offcourse the SP is mostly played. Because there you have all the features. Except for the cool fights against human players that is. I would really like to know how these decisions came to be. And i won't accept.. "Because SP is played more." or "that takes to many time and resources". There must be some other reason behind it i think.

Had missions like this in the Total Air War Dynamic Campaign. So that feeling you have can easely be recreated in Dynamic Campaigns. Even more intense. So now you killed the AWACS!!! Has it been any use to kill the AWACS for future missions? Are your fighters now able to move more freely in enemy airspace? No. You just continue on the next random mission.

This is the fantasy plane i want. Unique aerodynamic properties depending on how you fold it and very unpredictable when flying.

Yup. Go to START > RUN and type CMD. Press enter. When in the command prompt (black window with a flashing cursor) type > ipconfig /flushdns And it's done. Only do this wen you actually do have a issue.

I have another video you guy's might find interesting. It's a official USAF training video on BFM. Explaining the basics of BFM from a 1 ship to a flight of 4 against 4. I hope someday somebody would want to learn me fight in a group. Cause now i always lose my wingman after the first engagement and it never ends up as in these training vid's. Doesn't matter how bad i want to cover my lead. We always end up fighting a separate target. I tried to find more of these F-078 training video's. But could not find any. If somebody has more knowledge on how to acquire these please share with us. Check it out USAF TF 1-5256B:

Really?? Does AIm-7 track without radar lock on ECM? Didn't know that. Can come in handy sometimes :)

Did anybody here played this? I think its for the IPAD. Is it any good? it would be nice if we would have something like this for DCS in the future. http://awacstacsim.com/ - This is not a flight simulator, this is a simulator of the typical operations of an AWACS (Airborne Warning And Control System) in high-level operations with strategy elements. - Play in real time or compress it up to 30x. - Equip your aircraft with the right weapons from our vast arsenal to meet their objectives. - Give orders to more than twenty models of aircraft from different countries in different scenarios around the world. - Design flight plans for your air fleet with different roles as a fighter, attack, bombing or transport. - Create your own scenarios and send them to us for inclusion in future patches. - Take advantage of the teachings of a free encyclopedia with full description of units, tactics, tips, tutorials and more.

DCS Mig-21 BIS. Happy holiday's.

I know a better plan for you to support DCS. And make us happy at the same time :) Buy a DCS module every month and give it to somebody on the forums. You will make alot of friends and ED would be happy aswell. I'm a brilliant or am i brilliant :music_whistling: :thumbup:

LoL same here :megalol::doh: And i have alot of diffeculties finding close targets. Only ones from very far flying towards me or away from me i can find easely.

Something is happening. Alot of changes for the F-16 and also some for the Tornado. I think in the future we will know some more about these planes, i can feel it :) Super nice. Been waiting for this for a long time.

I think you read Frostie's post the wrong way Echo. He never implies that FC3 is the same fidelity as the DCS A-10C. He simply explains very clearly why you can't see it as a arcade game. It's very accurately explained why not. Not misleading at all. More people from the community and official guys have explained already why you can't call FC3 arcade. He basically says that if you call FC3 arcade than BMS is arcade as well, and that playing A-10C without proper procedures can be seen as arcade by real aviators as well. EDIT: Ninja'd

Isn't the DCS F-18C that will be comming out a Hardcore fast mover? Or am i messing up classifications here? My take on DCs is that it is a awesome SIMM. And i enjoy it daily.. (when the 51st server is up). But the MP stability and MP GUI should be improved way more in my opinion. Would be nice to be able to filter on servers/ping/player count and make a favorites list. Or even see who is playing in the server right now. Also a automatic restart function/option if the server drops. If that is fixed and a multirole plane like the F-16 or any russian counterpart comes out i will be forever sold to this game. Oww and don't forget a Dynamic Campaign that can be played with and against eachother. But i can wait another 3/4 years for that :)

Yup Team viewer is the way.

Do a cruise missile saturation strike and UAV saturation at the target area. SAM's will be to bussy engaging the cruise missiles and UAV's. In the mean time let the SEAD aircraft engage the SAM sites. But i actually not sure if there are any cruise missiles in DCS. Maybe from ships.
