Yes please. It's pointless info.

Really nice having an NDB at the FARP now. Good move, thanks.

@AlpenwolfI just wanted to say congratulations on your new baby, I hope you're all doing great. I'm amazed you get to fly at all with three - I pretty much gave up for a few years when I had 2 little ones. Anyway, well done and best wishes. Tats

So who can send text to the screen? Certainly other Apaches. JTACs like in the Harrier?

It would be great to allow the FMB to send messages to the Apache text screen, as though from a UAV controller etc. So when an Apache enters a zone, you might get a text message on the screen describing a vehicle to be attacked. Much better than a detached text box top right. Can't imagine it's hard to do.

Yep in real life the A-10 has oonly been used where there have been no enemy fighters and a massively weakened AD net. Even then, they've been lost to small SAMs.

Last night we won Sukhumi Unleashed in record time. All the Blues flew jets so the Helo team on Red just captured everything!

Sorry yes, I know the salute but not the lights. Which lights do I flash please?

I find the flying is OK, but yes, he stops on touchdown faster than you ever could.

I've never heard this? Is there a key for this in the F-14 please?

The guns will jam in sustained high G. Reload them using the next pyro cartridge.

Couldn't stay to the end. We did A easily then 98% of B when I had to go.

Have seen this in multiple missions (sample TRK and MIS file included). The L-39ZA scored clear impacts on an LAV and causes zero damage and in the post mission brief, no rounds are recorded as having hit. ZA registers no gun hits on LAV.trk Syria L-39C Training Flight.miz

Flying Fast and Furious with a bunch of Hinds tonight was fun!

Yes and not just the JDAM but the JSOW and the amazing CBU-105 too. Probably the best weapon in the game for taking out tanks, shilkas etc!

Nice!

I almost feel bad for you Pity Merlin drove in a killed them, it was a nice spot.

Or concrete bunkers etc. Looking forward to finding out the answer ...

Thanks for reporting it. However it definitely isn't as simple as the "harder to kill" issue - it's that the skeets don't see static aircraft as targets and therefore default to general cluster mode. The skeets are meant to auto-home on targets for direct hits. The actual weapons behave differently, not just the effect on tgt. Now, what I don't know is if real world skeets would ID aircraft. However the dense metal in the engines suggests to me that they would. I have played the same mission with other units including bunkers, static ZU-23 gun pits etc and all are targeted and destroyed. We had the same thing with the new Jester LANTIRN - it didn't see static aircraft but that has now been fixed.

Sure. Here are two files with identical conditions and placement. In one the CBU-105 skeet correctly find and destroy a lot of armour. In the other, they do not identify parked a/c as targets and do not destroy any at all, despite good dispersion over 8 parked aircraft. CBU105-Correct v Armour.trk CBU105-No kills or aiming on static planes.trk

Note: Won't spawn at Gelendzhik either. Will spawn at Batumi, K-Centre, Maykop etc.

Trying to build a multiplayer mission and cannot get a Blue F-5 to spawn at Novorossisk. Other aircraft (A-10A, UH-1) work fine and the F-5 happily spawns at other bases. Any ideas please?

I thought the new mission was at 7 Zulu?

Killed an A-10 today with the Hind and the new ATAKA. Felt good
