  1. Well said. It does what I want it to do, which is aeros and ground attack. Good fun module, I manage to enjoy it how it is, despite being constantly reminded by the glass is half empty brigade that I shouldn't be enjoying it because 'X' isn't working properly. As I: a) Don't use 'X', so it doesn't bother me. b) Don't know what 'X' is for so it doesn't bother me. c) Just don't care about 'X' if it isn't useful for nap of the earth low level bombing or 6 ship formation Aeros.
  2. Care to enlighten us on which platforms you are referring to in your last sentence? Otherwise it smacks of baseless Wiki twaddle. :lol:
  3. When you're sat in an aircraft flicking switches, you can't normally hear them move, especially if the avionics and APU are powered up. In this way the switch sounds in game are often over played. Remember, in the simulation you're supposed to be wearing a helmet, one of the purposes of which is to cut down on the ambient sounds in order to protect your virtual hearing. Most fast jet pilots also wear a secondary form of hearing protection so that reduces in cockpit sound even more.
  4. Nice. A few observations, just my opinions and not a criticism.:thumbup: BTW I didn't have sound on, so some of the points below may not be relative. 0.23 patrol infrastructure - patrol civil infrastructure visual check - visually check 0:32 accent - accents 0:41 suggest change to plot driven story line or story driven campaign 1.32 more than 140 pages of mission documentation 2:15 and of course a whole lot of Suggest use of sentence case rather that using 'Caps Through the Sentence' just for continuity. I look forward to flying your campaign! :)
  5. That mentions Lua?
  6. It's got an angle rate bombing system and a laser spot tracker, but I'm not sure exactly what you're asking.

    AV-8B MLU

    Very nice...would look good in a GR.7 :thumbup:
  8. A 2 seat Jaguar? It looks nicer than the single seat but what would you do in the back with no radar to fiddle with? It’d take twice as long to leave the earth with the weight of a second pilot as well. :megalol:
  9. Marcel, I send my best wishes to you and your family, I hope that your dads last months are ones you can cherish together.
  10. If you fly by the tower to low does he also asks for the number to truckmaster I think it is...?
  11. Practice, practice, practice and then practice some more. Pick a reference point on the other jet and try and keep that in view. It's easier in VR, but achievable with track-ir or thumb stick. Check X-51 Harrier display, we fly reasonably close form but have only done this by the above method, unfortunately there's no easy way young Jedi.:thumbup:
  12. I didn't have this with VR a few nights ago, just saw the marker beam. Possibly a graphics driver update?
  13. Merry Christmas and a GR7 New Year :thumbup:
  14. Thanks, Merry Christmas!
  15. On the Gr7 our NVG were focused to infinity. Pilots would adjust their IPD (distance between pupils) and set objective focus on a test box to their prescription prior to flight. As Windy said, they would 'look under' the goggles if they needed to see any instruments, or use the tilt bracket.
  16. Nice video, although unfortunately I have to give you the bad news that you are grounded for your flagrant disregard of dangerous flying. You didn't fly underneath or bomb several bridges, and you didn't fly through the top of the sail hotel.. ;)
  17. The problem was that we moved from 30mm Aden of the 'baby Harriers' to the then new NATO 25mm round that meant a complete redesign of the Aden. There was a difficulty reaching a target weight and we never got the cannon, although the aircraft flew with the cannon pods they carried a representative weighted shape model in each iirc.
  18. ^ as above. The pilot would do an external walk around, strap in, put the 'brick' in and carry out the start sequence, the groundcrew would already have proved systems/checked line items.
  19. ....and the TriStar tanker was from 216 Sqn RAF. DCS:TriStar coming soon. :megalol:
  20. If MERT, CSAR or QRF was actually a thing in DCS, the Chinook would be very entertaining.
  21. Try setting some curves and slight dead zones on your controls. I normally try to land with less that 3000lbs of fuel, I break into the circuit, pop the air-brake, throttle back to idle, drop gear, flaps to vtol, water on, then I nozzle to 89/90 and roll in to the runway, as you slow and descend add power slowly (or you'll float). When the speed gets down to 50 - 20 knots try and point into wind using the vane on the nose. Once you're established at a good height (<100 feet) and your nose/wings are level, you can you can start to get the nozzles towards 82-83 degrees. Don't add too much rudder without correcting with stick inputs or you'll end up kinda squirrely. Small inputs, small corrections and lots and lots of practice :thumbup:. If you'd like I can demo this online and talk you throught it. PM me if you'd like. no pressure ;)
  22. No for me, I'd personally prefer something a bit punchier like a Hawker Hunter, Jagauar, A7, etc. Or..a C-130, C-27, DC-3?
