Who cares about the scope. It's a great way to support the plane after EA.

I think that RAZBAM should add import functionality to the F-15E instead of keeping it restricted to USAF. Obviously, it doesn't have to be first on the list, but it would be fun to launch HARMS on an F-15E. In general every DCS module should model more off of manufacturing specs vs military restrictions, like how export Hornets have an ILS even if the Navy doesn't.

A later Corsair will also be more competitive with the 109 as well. I'm sure they will add a carrier and the Corsair to the Normandy map for MP. Even if it's not as realistic, it's possible, and it's more fun.

I have a Virpil WarBRD, F-18/F-15E stick, and a Warthog throttle. I want to make the controls as 1:1 as possible. Is there a button map for the real F-15E available yet as well?

Based off what was explained here, the RIO/WSO is not necessary for the Strike Eagle to operate. Maybe you have to jump in the backseat for a second to start one of the systems or something, and then you can do everything from the cockpit. F-14 is literally impossible to use without a RIO. RIO aligns the INS. RIO does all of the radar work in BVR, etc. I'm assuming the Phantom needs the RIO like the F-14.

I'm trying to figure it out. Is the WSO solely to split the workload or are there some important functions that we won't really be able to take advantage of outside of multicrew?

I am cautiously optimistic that the Strike Eagle is the next module.

Well as much as DLSS would ultimate help VR performance as it will enable a higher resolution and better effects, I think even implementing something like TAA would help. MSAA does a lot to smooth out the image but it is a GPU killer even with a RTX 4090. TAA might provide a good balance between image and performance.

If the 38.6 FM station isn't working, is there a VOR or ADF we could use to mimic the homing?

You are literally making a sales pitch for ED to ditch their current pilot models for stick figure. No model in this game look or sounds like me and I'm fine with that. When people like you complain about almost meaningless things compared to fixing the game it leads to needless frustration from devs who spend hours just coding one line for something like Jester. It only take 5 minutes for you to complain. If the devs put in a huge effort and your going to give them grief then maybe we deserve stickfigures and Microsoft Sam until they can voice 1000 people and make 1000 models. I'm sure even then someone will be offended.

The people who were going on tirades about ED adding all this stuff while their still bringing out the core gameplay elements were being jerks. Maybe ED should just make the pilots stick figures and start adding extraneous stuff like that when the game is more finished just to shut the crybabies up.

I demand that ED does a voice over of myself as the WSO as well as every other DCS player or else we can't really be immersed in the sim. I also expect them to invite me in and do a mocap of me in every plane or else I will never buy another module. This is the immersion I need.

I don't think the AI WSO will have any dialog. I think it's going to be very bare bones because you can to 95%+ from the pilot seat. I'd imagine the main advantage of a WSO in real life is they can split the workload of find their targets and SA. I can't tell you how many times I've died in a Hornet by an enemy fighter because I was fixated on ground targets and the FLIR pod.

Just saw your manual announcement for the F-15E so add that to the list too. F-15E might be the most fascinating because it will probably have the most complex avionics package/weapon systems in DCS.

Can confirm I have the same issue.

I understand the A-10 better than ever. Is there a possibility of getting a campaign like this for the F-18/14/16, etc? This was a masterclass on how to do a tutorial.

Played through Fear the Bones. It's the best campaign in DCS. Reforger exceeds my expectations for a campaign included with a module, but I would say my two nitpicks with it is not really using the radio and no cold starts.

I went through the first two missions on Supercarrier. Both are hot starts. This is Operation Reforger, not Cage the Bear.

This is a great campaign. Can we get a cold start version?

If it does, do we get LANTIRN pod action?

How can you control the altitude of AI flights. Right now I'm trying to do a WW2 liberation and the B-17s want to fly at 8000 feet.

I do like how your last 3 missions are basically the plot of Top Gun 1 and 2

Can we attack the package in a F/A-18 and then play the escape mission as a red F-14A? Thanks.

I don't understand why someone would get upset by people wanting to fly without CFTs. I think the point of the simulator is to emulate the technical specs of an airplane and be able to do things that the military does as well as experiment with things you would never see in real life. An example would be a P51 dogfighting a F-16.

Found the issue. If I drop JSOW when they tell you to but before it comes up as a mission objective it breaks the mission. The voice acting tells you to target waypoint 3 before the mission prompt.
