The problem with english is that it is too uptight. Spelling is never changed to reflect changes in the way people talk over time. Being used to dutch, english is OK with me for the rest :) Try Finnish :D It has 14 noun cases just to get you started.

Agree, Awesome music. And the first time it started I thought a plane was flying into my house :)

It is AMAZING!! I cant stop flying :D A lot of things have been added/tweaked/fixed. FM feels much more natural now in near-stall and stall areas, spins are awesome. Smoothness is much improved, no more huge impact with mav/tgp cam for example, and way better fps in general. Also noticed many different sounds, for example ground units and of course cannon :D The cbu's are amazing. Actually all bombs are amazing now for some reason and they hit where you aim too. In multiplayer everything seems to work, ATC, tanker, JTAC, it all works. Did notice some model issues, eg tunguska no texture, same LOD issues as before with blackhawks, speedboats and UAZ's, the f-18 external tank etc. Overall it is like a dream coming true. Now back to flying. :joystick:

Congratulations to ED! Our Teamspeak now has a dedicated *Waiting for download* channel :D We cant wait!!

I think the time for release is variable. Cues are already mentioned -starting of countdown -DSMS page -slight sound noticable When hung store occurs, reset station trough INV page.

NATO Top Secret Operation Buffalo 6 Battlegroup Charlie Battle plan SITREP As part of operation Buffalo 6, Battlegroup Charlie will be the main maneuvering element in an attempt to capture the airfield at Beslan. As expected, in anticipation of our action, the russians did move up one of their armor companies in an attempt to block our avenue of crossing the river north of Vladikavkaz. Hence our operation is now a two-stage assault driving straight trough 2 reinforced OPFOR armor companies. Battlegroup Charlie Battle Plan Primary Objectives The capture of Beslan Airfield and attrition of OPFOR armor. Plan of Execution For the initial assault, the battlegroup will split into two elements each with its own staging area. At H-hour both elements will depart from the staging areas and proceed in column formation toward the departure line which is the road from Gizel to Vladikavkaz. Recon elements confirm no resistance is to be expected up to this point. Once the main force arrives at the departure line they will deploy into Line abreast formation and wait untill the flanking element is in position approximately 3kms further north. 4 x M109 Paladin will deploy on the South-Western edge of the departure line. Once both elements are in position, the advance will commence. The main force will fix the enemy with heavy fire including artillery and air support and once accomplished, the flanking element will enter the fray and finish off the enemy company. The battlegroup will then proceed by consolidating across the river. Once unit cohesion is reattained the final push towards Beslan Airport will commence. If enemy flanking force tries to disturb the advance on Beslan airport, Charlie will morph into a delaying defense while additional air support will be tasked to attrit the flanking forces. Operation Time-line To be released 6 hours in advance because of OPSEC. Maximum unit wear After consolidation unit strength should be minimum 75% Air Assets A flight of 4 x A-10C is available as dedicated CAS from operation start onwards. One A-10C element will focus on eliminating any imminent threats, like the OPFOR APCs carrying long-range AT missiles while the other element will engage OPFOR HQ units behind OPFOR lines. Once the river has been crossed and intermezzo consolidation is complete, 2 x AH-64D will soften up the armor company around Beslan Airfield. The 4 x A-10C will also be available for the second push and will have rearmed / refueled as required.

haha :D I wanted to finish it this weekend but couldnt so probably somewhere this week.

I want beer :D screw chips and dips. Might take the Eve Online fanfest as an example. :D

What I am wondering, now that we are all having such good times on the forums... Will there be an DCS Fanfest? :D We should organize one. Drunken hogging is sure to produce epic moments. :)

PS lemme know when you are starting your Beverly Hills 90210 series. :) Definitely dont wanna miss that one!

if you really want some good pamela action, then watch this one: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110948/

Operation coming up. NATO Top Secret Operation BUFFALO 6 SITREP After repeated incursions of Georgian airspace and clandestine operations on Georgian soil by Russia, all in the name of assisting the break-away region of south-ossetia, NATO has prepared a series of operations to occupy north ossetia and capture the airfields of Mozdok, Nal'chik and Beslan to decimate most of Russia's strike capability on Georgia and put an end to the endless provocations. NATO is dead serious this time and is sending in a division sized taskforce which as we speak is crossing the Roki tunnel and the mountains south of Vladikavkaz. 2 further divisions are on high alert positions just south of the Russia-Georgia border. Operation Buffalo 6 will be the first operation of this deployment. Planned operation kick-off is at February 20th 0700hrs local when the division will have taken its initial positions. 1 hour before operation start, air assets will neutralize most of Russias area air defences and EW radars. Assuming our plan did not leak, the Russians will not be able to rush and block our access routes, therefor they will be forced to give up most of the region west of Vladikavkaz and defend the roads leading to russian mainland at Barsuki and Elhotovo. Operation Buffalo 6 Map Primary Objectives Primary objective for Operation Buffalo 6 will be to secure the airfield of Beslan, giving us nearby air capability. Attrition of Russian forces is an equal primary. In subsequent operations we will then proceed towards the roads at Barsuki and Elhotovo which are the follow-up objectives. Plan of execution Since Russia has a reinforced division in the region and can have at least 3 more in the area within 24hrs the element of surprise is critical. The main positions of our forces are a mere diversion to fool the russians into thinking we are heading straight for the Elhotovo exit while in fact our first target will be Beslan, which will expose their flanks to a classic tank blitz. Battlegroup Charlie, an armor heavy battlegroup, will move along our rear and take positions on our right flank. If no russian maneuvers are triggered by this move, they will move to contact on the russian armor companies around Beslan, their weakest link, supported by A-10c tankbusters and AH-64 rotary support. This will force the Russians to move some of their forces forward to reinforce because if we break their line, we can flank around Beslan airport and attack their rear. Once Battlegroup Charlie has consolidated, Battlegroup Bravo, now positioned as part of the division main force, will move forward, sneak in between the two russian lines and flank the positions around the Elhotovo roads. So either way, we get to win the flanking game. The risk in our plan is the russian battalion positioned at Barsuki. They have an avenue to flank Battlegroup Charlie. Should this indeed occur then Charlie will transition into a mobile delaying defense and Battlegroup Bravo, now part of the main forces, will maneuver around to the east around Kurkat, flank the russian battalion and take the roads at Barsuki, cutting off one of their avenues for reinforcement. Since these roads are so critical we do not expect this to happen. We expect the Russians to make a stand and then retreat towards the exit roads at Elhovo and Barsuki which they will try to hold at all cost. We do not expect much offensive maneuvering from the Russians since we will establish air superiority right away and moving towards us will expose them to our huge force of strikers and tankbusters in the georgian border area. Operation Time-line To be released 6 hours in advance because of OPSEC. Maximum unit wear After consolidation unit strength should be minimum 75% Air Assets Battlegroup Charlie will have a flight of 4 x A-10C and 2 x AH-64D as dedicated planned CAS. SEAD-flight might be tasked depending on the results of the initial anti-radar and DEAD strikes. Division Command has availabiliy over both a full A-10C and A-64D squadron to be deployed where necessary. Logistics All Battlegroups have attached logistics train for supply, battle damage repair, and medical. Comm Battlegroups will have seperate combat nets on which air assets will also operate. Frequencies to be released 6 hours before operation because of OPSEC. Unit Briefings Battlegroup briefings will occur after definite time-line has been established and released.

I found something about the new mirror implementation :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xq0JcQ1dOwU&feature=player_embedded

I presume you are finally going to fly with us then? :D

Didnt want to start endless arguments on this ;) Personally I think all prepurchases are crap deals except for this one so I dont think its bad and i didnt imply that either. About steam and all that, as a economic entity it just doesnt make sense. when I go to my gaming store and "prepurchase" something, they call it a reservation and I dont have to pay in advance, I pay on release date. Agree, case closed. Just didnt say anything shocking today yet. I usually do that when I am with my family but today I couldn't because my sister just told me I am going to be an uncle again and the first one is only 8 months old. :D :D :D Looks like she is well on schedule for her module deployment ;) :beer:

That one works wonderful on arrogant chicks. When they do the hand thing or something equal, just stare at them and ask: PMS? :D Works everytime. Use at own risk though :music_whistling:

That is just a matter of semantics. Dont want to be an a$$hat but who is going to hand over his cash in return for nothing. Preorders always come with something to return the favor and are also cancellable. Especially since it is a digital download release and there is no rational reason to prepurchase such a product because availability on release is unlimited. Since this (cancel option) is not the case for A-10c prepurchase I cannot consider it a prepurchase but instead consider it a purchase of early code which is promised to be finished at some point in the future. For playing the beta I activate my key and lose right to cancel or resell, ie I did in fact pay for the beta. In my opinion the prepurchase story is just a way to release a product that isnt finished yet but calling it like this there is no hard requirement to release regular patches because ED can now say we only purchased the final product and not the beta. Of course I like the way ED has done this so I can enjoy the product now but I still see it as above. If I am wrong then please enlighten me as to what would be the difference between it being a prepurchase of gold version to be released at some point in the future versus purchase of early code to be finished at some point in the future. I dont see it. :joystick:

Apparently the only reasonable thing to do is say nothing untill you have something. The statements from Wags have always come with an IF in front but that is quickly forgotten. I'd rather know nothing and be suddenly surprised by a release instead of being anticipating something which is not coming. Ignorance is bliss :D Taking the blue pill and ejecting from all beta6/final release threads.

Oh nice, thanks for finding that out! I had lost them in updating from previous beta also and was looking how to back them up. Mine is named the same btw.

I am now offering coma services. For half your income of the period required I will bring you in a coma and wake you up at a moment of your choice. This can either be: 1. Beta 6 release 2. Final release 3. BS compatibility patch 4. Release of next module Your wives and children can be taken care of at an additional premium. Who says waiting has to be hard. PM now. First come, first serve.

heh I wasnt sure either :smilewink:

2nd letter of the greek alphabet. Just a way to name versions. Start with alpha, then beta, then RC or gamma but nobody calls it like that.

I guess that solution would motivate whole slews of old women on fixed incomes to burn themselves with Micky D coffee brew. (which by the way tastes awfull)

Weird, I got an A-10 with it but I was a little disappointed myself that it only included training ammo and ordnance. Also had to RMA the right engine because it ran a bit hot. :joystick:
