Woot, perfect timing. I pulled the trigger and licensed it.

Do you have this one? https://www.mudspike.com/chucks-guides-dcs-f-a-18c-hornet/

My 2.5 Cents I love DCS and I try to spend money with ED as much as possible. I've spent a couple hundred this year, and it's been worth every penny. These guys deserve to be financially successful, no doubt. Please realize that it has nothing to do with ED when I say that I hate, loathe, abhor, and regurgitate at the word "subscription". You're talking to a population, at least some of us (I can't speak for everyone), that comes "pre-abused" by this wretched bandwagon-jumping bastard child birthed by the unholy bastions of evil that are Adobe, Apple, and Sploogle. Probably 70% of applications that I paid for, in full, have gone subscription, some literally months after I purchased them. To be fair, it's not like I got nothing for them transitioning, for I got the company's collective middle-fingers shoved directly up my ... it's not important. And how many of the supposed benefits that subscriptions were supposed to bring, actually materialized? For the consumer, not many. If anything they are even buggier and less supported than they were before I started renting them instead of owning them. In fact, I hereby propose replacing the term "F**k You" with "Subscription" since they more or less mean the same thing in the 2020 USA. Bottom line, I love ED, and would be glad to buy more modules and show my support by spending more, but I would rather light my scrotum on fire and be given a bottle of kerosene to put it out than rent even more of my software. I've cancelled most of the other things that went subscription and learned to live without them. I couldn't do that with DCS, and would be forced to pay it if you ended up going this way, but I'd be an even more bitter, more angry person than I am now. Assuming that's possible.

There are a few visuals I’d love to see at some point. I know they would be in the far distant future, but they’d be cool: - The parting water effect when you fly 10 feet above the water surface - Mach vapor cone that forms when you’re crossing the sound barrier at some altitudes - denser condensation a/la the F-16 module I love pulling high-alpha maneuvers and generating massive amounts of condensation.

I’ve been using the demo of this for the past week. I’m really impressed with it. Nice work. As an individual user, the highest level I would conceivably need is Advanced, correct? The Enterprise version is mainly for teams and multiple users?

I just tried my first air refueling missions today, in a couple of different planes. Hole Eeeeee Shhhhhhh ... yeah I never thought it would be that hard. While I get that there is wake turbulence, we are offset from the tanker by, what, 30 feet or so. It almost feels like it would be easier in a shallow descent to stay out of the tanker's wake. Question, does anyone use auto-throttle, altitude-hold, or any other auto-pilots during fueling?

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT use the Piddle Pack from within VR. You're just going to have to trust me on this one. On a completely unrelated note, can anyone recommend a good chair for DCS? It's about time for me to get a new one.

I couldn’t see it either until I realized I had to be in the Beta version. You’re using that, right?

How much fuel are you carrying? I failed the first 10 times until I realized that I was trying to land with 9,000lbs of fuel.

Seriously, though, if: - a nuclear war ever wipes out 99.99% of the world's population and -the handful of remaining Americans need to use our salvaged inventory of F/A-18s to hold off the inevitable Mad-Max-style invasions from what remains of Canadians When whoever is leader at that time asks, "can anyone here fly a fighter jet?" I'm so raising my hand.

They hand-signal me into the catapult, I don't even need to press F2 anymore to get lined up! Once I'm there, the shooter routines are bad as a [person who has carnal relations with their maternal parent]! I gotta be honest, it's better than I expected. Finally, I'm a real Navy pilot. I said, I'm a REAL NAVY PILOT. :music_whistling:

Hey man, I enjoyed reading it. OP is being a little rude. God forbid you're not all singularly focused on convincing some a-hole of that he's wrong, and not all thoughts need their own discrete thread. I'd say this was related enough. OP, nobody owes you anything, take what you can get. use it or don't, and be grateful. You don't have to tell people every time their post doesn't provide you with exactly what you want. Other people are in the forms too and maybe we get something out of it. I can't believe you got as many replies as you did. If some Internet A-hole insisted that F14s were powered by unicorn farts, I struggle to understand why anyone would give a damn. You're trying to win an Internet debate, but they're usually are no winners in Internet debates. I've got an answer for you, and it's as good as any you've gotten. Tell him: "You know, I thought otherwise but I guess I was wrong. Thanks for the correction." Then, go do something you enjoy, content in the knowledge that dude is wrong and it will likely eventually embarrass him. Being corrected is a gift. If dude slaps it out of your hand, don't try to get him a better gift. Shrug and walk away. Quora is a business which makes money on content other people give them for free. Let them hire their own fact-checkers to do QA, it's not your obligation.
