Furia

As a user I just wanted to say thanks to Sedenion. Your utility makes life easier and the management of mods very friendly user. It is people like you producing such tools that really contribute to the comunity. Most of my squaddies are usising OvGME. THANKS :thumbup:

I am not sure if that would be possible but snapviews are just pre-recorded camera possitions inside the cokcpit and you can call them back any time with a keyboard combination. Maybe the same „concept“ would be applicable to this. Obviously the carrier is not an aircraft and has no cockpit files so a workaround this should be found but I guess if the sim allows to record and save custom cameras inside the cockpit and call them at anytime using a key combianation, maybe something like this could be done for a carrier. Just a suggestion to consider

Great job!! Thanks. Beautiful angles :thumbup::thumbup: Thanks Would not be possible to access multiple cameras by a system similar to the saved snapviews?

I remeber hearing someone mentioning getting to this view through F4 but have not tried myself

ESA_Furia F/A-18C Thanks

The real issue here is that we are trying to outsmart the developers by trying to drive their company decisions with this type of approach. The first post says it quite clear, really unambiguos There is no question about how do you like us to use our resoruces? or would you prefer a Ju-52 over a O-2A? Should we give priority to this and that? No that was not the question. The question just ask if there is space in DCS World for such type of aircraft. The answer should be the same regardles there is an OV-1 or A-1 or F-100 already in release version or not. It is a simple question and you really have to be naive if you think you are going to force company decisions saying no to one model but offering your choice instead. For me the question is quite clear. Do I see future and possibilities in DCS world for such „type“ of aircraft? Yes I see a future for low and slow FAC aircraft of Vietnam War era. I do not want a DCS only with fighter bombers, I also want other types of aircraft and other type of missions available. Let the developers manage their resources, they know their stuff.

The role of the O-2A is not to engage armor directly with its weapons, neither is the UH-1H. In the Vietnam War the presence of an AFAC was most feared by the Vietcong. They know it carried no bombs, but a radio and some WP rockets, and if the AFAC sees you he will call his friends with tens of pounds of bombs in minutes. So yes, being in a T-55 and being detected by an O-2A means a sure death sentence. In DCS world we have used the Uh-1H as scouts/FAC with sucess, even sometimes we have used a P-51 to represent a A-1 and it worked quite well on this role.

Easy to fix, do not place that J11A on the Vietnam War era map. :music_whistling:

No need to google, been flying Cessna aircraft among other types since 26 years so they are quite familiar to me. This thread is about the twin engine, retractable gear O-2A, quite a difference airframe/performance from a C152. And yes this is a combat aircraft, used extensively during the Vietnam war. Just out of curiosity more than 500 units were produced for the Vietnam War. Like the Huey, an "utility" heliocpter that ended up logging more combat hours and earning more awards than most other "combat" aircraft Hey above all I would love to have an A1 Skyrider but that does not mean I have to vote against the O-2A The more aircraft related to the Vietnam war the better.

The nimble Cessna propeller driven aircrafts doing AFAC role in Vietnam (L19 and O-2A) saw more combat, flew more hours over enemy territory than many other jet units in theater. Take a look at the number of awards given to those pilots flying such very dangerous missions and then come back here and say this is just a 152 that has no room in a combat enviroment.:doh:

Tested and it works perfectly as usual. :thumbup: I am placing here a simple test mission. Jump on the Tactical Commander slot and see how despit having the scenario F10 to be configured as " Show only map", for the Tactical Commander you can see all your own units all the time and once the enemy units are located, You can see them as well as long as they are on detection range of any of your units. There are red units ahead of the Blue tanks, let them advance a litte and you will see the red units on your map as well shortly Test Fog of War.miz

Well I do not know how this works in 2.5 but I have made several missions with F10 options of just "Show Map" but and Tactical Commander had the information of own forces and "known enemy forces" available on his screen I would try it now. Maybe it has changed

The truth is that such polls are not really very useful. Poeple uses them just to voice their wishes or dreams about how the sim should be shaped. There are those that think that anything that is not a modern Mach 2 fighter is a „waste of resurces“ According to this line DCS World would not have helicopters, WWII aircraft, not Combined Arms ect Fortunately developers have a broader view about that something called „world“ is is not a catalog of 60 advanced fighters but a nice combination of different types of modesl with different performance, capabilities and even historically separated in time. That is I hope DCS World concept. There are some squadrond only dedicated to helicopters, others dedicated to WWII that would not agree that the developement is a „wate of resurces“ There are out there fascinating nimble aircraft that had more impact in aviation that so much vaunted high performance fighters. In the Vietnam war the „bird dog“ or the A-1 Skyrider aircraft had an awesome hitory and performance that makes the F-4 or F-100 pale. Maybe some of you do not know that, maybe some of you do not care about that because of course all of us want an F-4, me incliuded. What I do not want is a DCS World just full of the latest generation of fighters and nothing else to fly.

By saying no because 1000 guys want 1000 different models of aircraft we are not voicing the "comunity" whishes. Boicoting any aircraft that is not "your choice" would not make your choice more eligible. Imagine now the other 1000 guys with 1000 different wishes boicoting your aircraft just because it is not their selected model. Could happen. Can become a trend Imagine now a deloper asks about if the comunity wants an OV-10 and everybody in the DCS forums that is not in love with this aircraft feels the impulse to vote againts it just because this is not their dream model. So while you may get a good number of supporters the rest of the comunity voting against would not make it look good.

I always find this threads amussing. :lol: Somebody asks the comunity if there is an interest for an aircraft X and everybody comes here with "I prefer a Blimp or I rather have a Zeppelin, I would buy a balloon....." :smilewink: I think the question of the thread was not "What aircraft would you prefer us to do? or what is your dream aircraft?" I think we all agree we would love to have 600 modules available in DCS world, so even if one aircraft is not on someone's "list" it does not mean other 1000 guys would not dream to have it. I'd rather have an V-22 Osprey in DCS World but that does not mean I would not love to have an O-2A as well :smilewink:

Thanks to you uscstaylor!!!

O-2A Yes!! Time for something a bit different. The O-2A had an awesome combat history over Vietnam but required special pilots. It could be used in a variety of missions. I am sure it would have its public. Me among them.

The file I get from the download link on the first post does not work properly. I think it is a extension error

Hmm I am just building an anphibious assault and the aav7 travel in my scenario more than 4 miles in water with no other problem than a max speed of 6 knots. And I have like 6 different groups of aav7 doing so. I am using the Release version.

Thanks, this makes it even more useful and give us more possibilities for mission editing!!

OHP FFG-7 is a default ship in DCS World since the begining and extremely well detailled. :thumbup:

This looks a great solution for helicopters. I will test it this afternoon when I come from work but I believe this would be „the solution“ for all types of helicopters. Thx for the mod and continuos improvements!!

We do operate the Uh-1H and Gazelle and spawn and operates in the Nassau with no problem but the rotor blades of the M-8 are larger and this is a problem if you spawn on that very spot on the centerline

Nice vid. Thx
