This is an hard question I know, and I'll try to explain it as best as I can. I'm not interested in anything (like ATC, Weapons, Ground Units, ecc..) except planes cockpit, lets say. Obviously, I'm talking only about the high fidelity model. I've done some research as always before opening this thread and ED stated more than once that all of their planes are based on publicly available information and (fortunately) they do not use any restricted data. I also read that basic startup procedure, cockpit layout, buttons and their relative functions are generally available but what is displayed on MFDs are all classified, and in a couple of video that I found, pilots states that they can't even turn them on because are restricted information. Having sad all of that, let's say that all WWII and more modern plane but with not much electronic (like L-39 or the C-101) are quite accurate. But what about all the modern planes that are coming out now? Just to name a few I can say F-16, F-18 or the new shiny JF-17 that is basically a giant screen with a couple of wings xD. Are all the information displayed on those screen all assumption based on "what should be there" or are they actually correct? I mean, I'm not pretending to be in a 1-1 replica of the plane, but I would like to know if: What we see on the displays is kind of accurate, but simply miss all of the function that are restricted and that we don't know are there Or if we know basically anything expect "that display should show weapons" and than they invent all the menus based just on that and try to make it more plausible as possible, but still based on assumption. What turned me up was this story about screen's on planes that are classified and wanted to know if we are all learning the planes that ED thought it should be or the real plane (kind of), but if someone know more than me can expand this topic and talk about anything he/she think it's realistic or not, but still regardless the plane model, not all DCS World. Just as a disclaimer, this is not a criticism, because if they can't have access to that kind of stuff is not their fault, it is just for information purpose only, since I spend lot of time (and money) in the game I would like to know what I'm into. :)

Good to know, thanks! Does the IFF function on the plane or is mainly aesthetics with some buttons pressable?

And what he said in that regard? Inviato dal mio iPhone utilizzando Tapatalk

Hello, I was flying a mission (off-line) randomly generated and it were present a JTAC in the communication menu, so I tried to communicate with him but I noticed that the frequency it was on was something like 35.XX and I wasn't able to dial that in. A little of Google searching and I found my radio go from something like 100.XXX to 300.XXX so that was out of my communication range of the aircraft (am I correct?), I also found that I could change that JTAC frequency in the mission editor to be able to talk, but, I also red that I should be using frequency in range of 30.000-76.000 to communicate with military assets such as JTAC. So, here it is the quetions: Can I communicate (with the Viggen) in frequency below 100.000 MHz? If not, do I have another way, in the mission, to communicate with that unit? [*]Is there a reason why people say JTAC should use that lower frequency? [*]Bonus question: In my knee-board I have frequency of other AI groups, its just for completeness/realism or can i communicate something to (for example) a group of Apache? Like ordering an attack or an RTB?

I would like to hear that you will not abound this plane for the F-14, not before at least common bugs are addressed. Not asking for new features or fancy stuff, but yeah..I own the module just for a couple of days and found lots of little stupid things that ruin immersion.. Buttons not clickable, buttons clickable through the glass cover, the number “3” missing on the radio (watched a video from 2018 and was still missing, come on..2 years for little texture? You are not even trying...) and, don’t know if it’s me or not, but clicking IFFs buttons will immediately crash the game.. And others things that most experience user than me listed.. Please, it is a good and fun plane, and IMO doesn’t need all that much works..just a couple of “Fix updates”..really hope you will address this major issue.

Well...so a reason more to do a training mission :( Inviato dal mio iPhone utilizzando Tapatalk

I asked that because I’ve just bought it and even if I read that it is complete finished, IMO (as a new player with <100h), seems a bit lackluster for a module that’s been out for 3/4 years. I mean, the plane works, but to me doesn’t seems a complete package, for example: 1. I found (by mistake) that a lot a buttons in the cockpit are not clickable, is this normal? (I don’t have that many module). 2. Doing training, already at the second one the Jeep to follow it is bugged (I think) and at one point start doing rally going off-road for like 3 minutes, and at the 3rd one some of the squares overlay that show you in training where to look/push are bugged and don’t go away. 3. This is the most important for me now, I saw no A2A training, yes, I know it is a ground attack plane but if it can load A2A weapons (and even a lot compared to other A2G plane) should be teached, moreover if had payed a lot for it...now it is on sale but it is 60€ module, I mean..it’s more than the price of an entire AAA game.. (disclaimer: I’m not complaining about the price it self, I know they sell just a few, work a lot and need to raise price, that’s not my point). Anyway, YouTube and manual helped as always BUT, I think it has to be there a simple training for A2A. (If for some reasons is there and I didn’t saw it I apologize!) 4. Plus a couple of more little things I’m not even going too list And these “minor” things come out in just one night in a couple of hours, as a first experience I have to say I’m a bit disappointed, I expected something more polished, am I being too critical?

Thank you for the link!

Hello, I would like to know it there are any plans for this map, like adding some cities, re-work or anything else. Thanks.

Hello, I know that this plane is out since a while and that is almost finished, I would really like to have a Road-Map from Heatblur with all the things they think to implement/polish before consider this module out of early access, and, would be also nice to have an estimate date for that. Hope I will receive an answer, thanks!
