So the model is still not finished more than a year after release?

It's a when shit hits the fan / defend the fleet loadout.

I find it kinda funny how a former several thousand hour Tomcat driver can deem the flight model spot on and very accurate yet you have these forum monkeys bickering about their performance charts and 0.1dps deviation at mach 0.5. :lol:

Seems like a simple fix if it's working properly on the B.

Paco's words on the use of flaps in BFM (timestamp included 35:59)

Never going to happen. Let it go my dude.

I think HB should really consider including these in their A package. I also see you went out of your way to paint the AIM-54A in a proper white, which HB haven't managed (or even plan) to do so yet. :thumbup:

DUDE! These are perfect! :thumbup: You are an absolute legent and HB should hire you to do their skins from now on. If all of these would have been inlcuded on release of the -A that would have been awesome. One small gripe - is it possible to adapt the sidewinder rail colors to their respective airframe main color? Currently they all appear quite dark and out of place on the A while those should be the same color as the rest of the airframe.

So, are the double and single inner-racks ever gonna be textured or is this always going to be a solid grey plastic?

If you have a radar lock on him and he increasingly pulls G's when you are about to shoot the rounds will land short, it's always good to lead and pull the trigger, making the rounds walk on target slightly when in a loded turn fight.

Yes. The TCS only tells the Phoenix where to look/point its seeker - off the rail the 54 is all on its own.

Yeah but usually at those ranges you have the target already visual and can just yeet the Phoenix boresighted in ACM mode at the guy. The TCS isn't an IRST.

Works fine on my end. Select anything but the gun and be in A2A mode.

Can't you just post a .zip file with them for SP flying? Or is the Tomcat now a hangar-queen again until the 16th? The absurdly broken drag really puts me off from flying it right now.

Oh well, guess we wait then. Is it safe to assume we won't be seeing the early A and IRIAF A this year since there are only like 2 big patches left for this year?

The angle is the same generally, 3.5° but can be set to 3.75° or 4.0° in high wind conditions. The difference between airframes is the hook to eye distance and needs to be accounted for.

100% agreed and very much so appreciated :thumbup: It's just that the majority of the community seems to be focused on the "Call of Duty / Airquake" aspect of the game, racking up as many kills and getting high kill/death ratios in PvP. Everyone can obviously decide to play the game the way he or she wants and take it as seriously as they want but then they also shouldn't comlain about "balance" when a developer like HB decides to take the simulation deeper and make it more true-to life in various aspects. This will sadly be a never ending discussion, really.

Just to confirm, has the fix made it into today's hotfix?

Cool. But what about the IFLOLS overlay toggle option and visibility issues during day and night ops, ship's wake and ACLS? I see those as fundamentally critical issues that need to be addressed before any fancy new stuff comes in.

Is ED even reading this thread? Can we please get an update on the state of the SC development?

In 99% of cases it is exactly that. Also due to the lack of such attention to detail or "realism" on all other modules in DCS. You can pull and roll your heart out in the F15 or Mig-29 without anything ever breaking.

The Suprecarrier is kind of a meme right now with its lack of support since release. Kinda disapointed with it honestly, especially flying the Tomcat off of it.

I dont know but might be something to consider. I don't have any mods and never had any issues with the A no matter what I do with it.

Do you have any mods installed?

Yeah sorry, PARK and AUX - got ACCU in my head from other planes. I'll go test it in the B I guess.
