I recall watching a demonstration of a Mortar platoon, we were stood well back,(being RAF we were not trusted with things that go bang, or are sharp) while a lot of Army guys were shouting instructions and confirming understanding, then ,BBBBOOMMMM, off they all went, and bracketed this target on a slope some way off. We were impresed. So one of us asked how do they work out, how to hit the target. The SNCO replied it would be difficult in battle to be absolutly accrate, so they used SITFA. So another asked what that meant, and with a straight face the said "Somewhere in that flamin area...or words to that effect. LONG before we had GPS.

After the update to AH-64 on 24 Jul 25, the changelog says manual updated, but it still says last updated in 2024, can anyone confirm if it has been updated. Thank you

We had these at Thornhill, Rhodesia, really wierd sound as the came in, because they were subsonic,. I didn't realise they were made of wood, until I saw one in the hanger that was being patched up from damage after some ground attack engagement with Terrorists, prior to our arrival. The majority of the aircraft at Thronhill were Hunters. Looking forward to this.

Small point, but the water towers become repetative, yes they are similar to the ones near us in Monchengladbach,(1983-86) but they didn't show up every 5-miles, perhaps take out 2 of every 3.

An A-7, Brilliant, good luck and best wishes, will really look forward to that.

Same here, I raised a ticket with ED, but then found the link that says 'change payment method' used the same card and it worked fine. The end of paypal on this site, and only on this site. If you cancel your order, and go back to your profile, open the cancelled one and it says, change payment method. I filled that in, and started again. Sorted.

Hi BIGNEWY, THANK YOU, making a list of what I've tried so far, Thanks for the assist.

Been at this all day, same problem, payment processing. Tried to use another browser, got my passwords out, all gettting rejected. Paypal works fine elsewhere.

Cold War Germany map, PayPal just circles. Other payment option does not offer way to add credit card, so stuck with paypal 2

Just tried after restart, after the UPDATE, yep still stuck, reckon we've overloaded the server. Note the German Map is now on sale, but will not try to buy as it is no doubt too busy to take the transaction easily. Will look in again tomorrow. Good luck everyone

Got past the 502 error, and now got 504, you do not have the following modules.....all that I have bought. Reckon the system is maxed out. Will try once more, after a restart & come back tommorrow if not resolved. Give it time to settle down

If I'd known that, I'd have asked for as seat up there in the nacelle. They did a high speend run, one evening out of St Mawgan (Cornwall). There was a short briefing, and we asked if it could go through the sound barrier. It was pointed out, that with 4 Olympus engines, same as the Vulcan, it would in theory be no problem, but the wing panels might get a bit bent, so that was not going to get demonstrated. A while later, In the middle of this, I had to go to the loo, no problem, unplugged headset...got in the loo, replugged after I was sat down to hear,"Hi speed right turn, HANG ON, GO!".......Not the best position to be in on a high speed turn, I can vouch for that, MAN did I HANG ON! I sort of fell out of the loo after the turn and the Nav spotted me, They all got very concerned that I was ok,,,,I was. They had forgotten about us passengers, and they knew never to be there.....lesson learned. lol.

Magic, I had some trips in these out of St Mawgan & RAF Akrotiri...shows my age, even had a right hand seat for about 20 minutes. All trips were bumpy, horrendous down the back, but much easier up front...keep up the good work and THANK YOU

Hi, I'm being thick, because I'm old ok. Can I confirm this only works as an AI aircraft. It shows up in ME like I should be able to fly it, but I have no cockpit. I have turned on & off the Clock icon in ME, no change, it is like an AI aircraft in my game. My UH-60L works fine and I can fly that alongside. Any advice appreciated, I does look nice though Thank you

Got the download from the link above, not the first page. Looking forward to this thank you

Hi Nic_17 and all who responded, ARROW3, is the only MOD I've lost, so far, long way to go. FYI, I had missed a couple of updates, for China & Russia. so set up an A10 on the ground in Nevada, with Chinese, Russian and USA assests in front of it, so far the Russian Guy has hit the Chinese guy every time, while the Abrams....seems to smell of coffee? lol Obviously if you see the assets on the MAP in the mission, you can crack on. Cheers....& yes I'm enjoying the beer

Hi Nick_17 Thats what I wondered as well. Thanks I will overwrite and try again. Regarding the MODS, as it was I was having a MODS issue prior to the update coming, So 90% of my MODS are off and I'm working them back in. So will start again, after I merge the CH MODS Thank you to ALL of you who have chipped in, It all helps......so MOD ON, TEST WITH DCS, MORE MODS ON..TEST....Have some beer....I have so many MODS I'll be well oiled this evening. Cheers

I have various CH MOD installs, Sweden, UK, Germany, all have been working, but I have just found that for China/USA, I cannot get any CH object to show up in ME I have: CHINA 1.1.0 USA 1.1.5 THE 10.38gb Version USA 1.1.X-1.1.6 the 2.86 gb version. I take it I need both as I think the smaller update just makes changes to the larger library? I have turned on/off the history/watch icon, I get a couple of different objects show up, but nothing CH displays when I scroll down ALL CH mods are the usual place and only these 2 Countries have stopped working. I have installed the latest update to DCS World 2.9.14. 8222 mt I have re-downloaded the USA one about 20 mins ago, what am I doing wrong. Any assistance appreciated.

Should have worn the sunglasses before opening this page, yep they are bright enough all right. Logical when you think of having to find these things in grotty weather and then you find a cluster of dull coloured ones,,,,,,or worse a Grey Funnel line, ship cluster....Crabfat nightmare.(Translation...RAF for Royal Navy grey ships)....which all look the same, apart from the flat ones. But these look great, Thanks.

Well done ED, thats a much more detailed map, more interesting textures and the patchwork fields that friends have mentioned. When I was younger I always wanted to visit Afghanistan, see the mountains.....it could have been so popular as a trekking destination. However, it is what it is, and it's a brilliant rendition. Looking forward to navigating my way around. A quick F-16 Trip, is not enough. Should have got my passport stamped at Jalalabad. lol

Wonderful, it looked great, but then a Jag pilot pointed out it was an ergonomic slum, underpowered and not fast.....but that he wouldn't change it for the world! Remember supporting JTAC training in Herefordshire, UK. Weather was rubbish (Typical low cloud, rain, hard work for the FAC). A Jag came into the area, having come down from Scotland, (where the weather is usuall much worse) The FAC was going to tell him to forget this, but the pilot pointed out he'd not come all this way for nothing. So the FAC gave him an entry gate grid ref, and a list of things that stood out, on his way to the target. i.e. Triangular wood on left of valley turn 30 Deg, derlict barn dead ahead, etc and the target was an inflateable infantry vehicle by a stone wall....you get the idea. Then we heard him coming, and he popped out of the thick low cloud, upside down, zig zagged through the given points, flipped over and called bombs gone and pulled up, disappearing instantly! He hit the target according to the targetting team. Other nations aircraft due that afternoon, declined to take the risk in the weather and we didn't blame them! Happy Days

That's a great wee bit of history, really enjoyed that. Thanks

I'm late, but hope you all had a Happy Christmas, but nice and early, (typical Scotsman) wish you ALL a HAPPY NEW YEAR, when it comes

Hi Yoyo, Thanks for that, anyone can get things wrong, at my age I was sure it was me being thick. THANK YOU

I watched Casmo TV guide for changing radio frequency. Great I need to get to Creech ATC 118.300, I brought up the correct radio, on the pilots side. (I forgot to write down the channel number) so channel 12 is 118.000 Deleted it. Started to Add and I'm offered 12 and insert 11..... stuck there. Cannot input the 8 digit, cannot get it back to previous (probably obviously) but kinda stuck now. Any assistance appreciated, thank you
