GripenNG

Sorry if this has been discused before! But something that would be nice and realistic in the mission building, would be to have the option to select coalitions on group level, and not just country level. This would for example open up far more realistic Red Flag scenarios where a US F-15 could act as a hostile against another US aircraft. I know it probably isn´t a super important detail in the DCS experience - but it sure would be a little more realistic. And for who of us that builds large scale missions and edit them after time (and not rebuilding another mission within the same large scale scenario) would love to see the option to change the country-coalition after the first coalition have been set.

The following ships can´t be added to the map in Mission Editor... - Tanker Elnya 160 - SSK 877 - SSK 641B - Dry Cargo Ship Ivanov - Civil Boat Zvezdny - Bulk Cargo Ship Yakushev The rest of the ships dissapear on the map at first when placing them at a location. But on the second try, they work.

Wonder why all the negativity? Please put down your guns and be happy that DCS will see more diversity. No one will ever force you to buy it if you don´t want it. So let´s be happy instead that we´ve recived some more great news.

You always start headwind, if possible. Same for landing.

Check in the Options-menu and you will find the screen and graphics options.

What NATO plans is nothing worth discusing - since they probably also have plans regarding the outbreak of world war III. 15.000 US soldiers and some Patriot-batteries around Syria is nothing compared to what an invasion would require. If the world would indeed push ahead with a full scale invasion then they would surely need to destroy most of the LRAD and MRAD batteries before even thinking about sending in loitering fighters over Syria. But if we forget the `what if` for a while and instead see todays situation. An operational S-300 battery in Damascus would really hinder Israeli air-movements in the northern part of Israel and Lebanon. Do you think this will be tolerated by the Israelis? It is plain and simple - strategic weapons of this kind NEVER makes the situation more secure - especially not if it affects others affairs.

Why would Israel want to stay above Syrian airspace for a longer time? The SAM-systems is not the only problem, since the syrian-regime also have fighters. No one talks about any NFZ or strikes to support the FSA. Israels problem is Hezbollah and the S-300 systems which may close down the airspace over Lebanon and northern Israel. By sending in heavy strategic arms to the region is not stabilising by the facts I just stated. The FSA will have to fight alone for a long time ahead - but when the conflict spreads to Lebanon, Israel and Turkey - that´s when we start talking pre-emptive strikes to secure the own integrity.

Some pics from my adventures! :)

No it is not modeled.

Awesome pics you´ve found there Griffin! :)

To me it looks like the Lancer-sequence is speeded up - the pilots head moves way to fast to be realistic.

In the 1.2.4 update it says: Fixed LASTE Wind Edit data entry. Does this mean that it´s now implemented?

Yup, they have been talking a lot about it here in Sweden! Now a days we only have a 09-17 clock defence. Not even our politicians knew about this status of the QRA (or so they claim), but one thing is for sure, somebody messed up big time.

I agree with you that the GUI for dynamic weather is way to complicated, it does not have to be so just because it´s WIP. So a big minus on that. It´s impossible for me to fly with rain, snow or thunderstorm in DCS, my FPS goes down to 2 or 3.......can´t imagine how it would cope with FSX weather :music_whistling:

If no flight sim have hade perfectly realistic weather and combat enviroment before, why blame ED for not having it now? With todays standard you have to choose. But maybe not in 5 years.

I must tell you it´s something I´ve been thinking about! A friend of mine a couple of years ago flew gliders, about a year older than me, and suddenly he disapeared from our small town, and the last thing I heard about him a couple of weeks ago is that he is flying the Gripen now! :)

Zoomed in at Lochini in Google Earth (pic date 28/12-2012), and by first glance it looks like one A-10 parked there! Though I don´t belive it really is one, but it would have been cool to see some Warthogs in Georgia!

Super nice video, but it just make me sad...why did´nt I become a fighter pilot? :(

Would be nice to see it with dynamic weather also :)

Anyone tested if AI can follow/escort player ACFT now?

Thanks Grimes! It´s working the way I want now :) :)

Yupp I tried this first, but it is not randomly enough, as I could expect when they start shelling by the time I´ve set. The thing I´m after is that I want the howitzers to fire sometime during my 2 hour flight - if at all due to the random % value.

Right to the question...I have three howitzer groups which I want to fire at a point randomly. Maybe just one, or perhaps all three opens fire. But I want them to open fire within a time frame; for example - between 6 to 10800 seconds from mission start. And also I want this to happen randomly at about 10% of chance. But the groups who get´s active opens fire immediately after 6 seconds... My current script: 1 ONCE (21. Art Coy Hostile NO EVENT) -> RANDOM (10%) + TIME LESS (10800) + TIME MORE (6) -> AI TASK (FIRE AT POINT)

Been searching on the forum but can´t find any info about the new ME feature: Condition and Variant...what´s it for?

Hahaha I kind of feel quite stupid right now :doh: I guess I´ve made myself the most stupid person of this year so far! But I blame it on that I usually make things harder for me than necessary, and that I almost never use tape... So I guess this thread can be closed now. Goodnight!
