Of course they can destroy enemies as well. But the chance for own casualties rises equivalent to the number of enemies alive.

LOL!!! Send the .trk-file to Stephen Hawking! He can possibly integrate that incident in his actual theories. :)

Frostiken is right with a point he made: Guided weapons beeing available doesn't mean you have to use them exclusively. Look at RL loadouts: These things are expensive, so not every stinky APC will be engaged with a horrible expensive weapon-system. You can always downgrade the loadout you use, but you can never upgrade to weapons that aren't put into the game by the devs. I second his point of view: Make as much as possible available, so we'll have a longlasting ever changing flying experience.

Turning EGI + CDU on AFTER engine is up, is just from earlier patch states and hasn't been brought to date.

At the bottom of the HUD or at the HSI. Refer to the HUD section of the manual. Heading = Course

@ED: Would it be possible to add an option to the orbit-task where one can choose wether the unit should perform a left or right hand pattern? Atm. it's always left hand, or is it influenced by other factors?

Unfortunately no. But I hope it's quite high on their to-do list (same goes for all the other "host only"-functions.

Yeah, there always seem to be some "special features" not mentioned in the changelogs. :) Or have I overread it?

On the one hand I like the concept of focusing on the actual project to bring it to a real "final" state. On the the other hand, for a virtual squadron, knowing the next available aircraft in time would be advantegeous to already start planning, collect RL documents etc. For the A-10C for example we have so much RL documents today, that we're still at the very beginning of reading and filtering content which we want to incorporate into our daily flight activities. So knowing the level of accuracy of a DCS aircraft, one could already start to figure out stuff for the next module, while at the same time improving the procedures used with the A-10. So when I ask for news, it's not only out of curiosity, but to be ready in time for the next aircraft. However I'm confident that even ones the curtain rises, there will still be a fair amount of time left, until we got the aircraft in our hands.

Never noticed. Thanks for that!

Oh really? How/where?

1.) The real TGP may have a worse resolution, caused by the optics used, but that will not be caused by the display itself. That means having a crystal clear TAD (or every other system displayed) would be totally ok in regards to reality. So since you can't downsize the res of your TGP exclusively I prefer having the MFCDs at at least 512, so I have a good view on my TAD/DSMS/etc. 2. Blur in the vid may be caused by the decoder used for that video and may not neccessarily represent the quality in-game. 3. These are VERY low setting regarding your sys specs! And medium scenes + medium vis range is a really unadvantegeous decision when playing an A-G aircraft! ;) I have way higher settings and still get an avarage FPS of about 30.

JTAC Training and no friendlies??????? :huh: So the enemy JTAC provided you with target information? ;) And no - it has nothing to do with the EGI. As others said before: It's friendly units that are connected to the SADL/EPLRS network. In your case: The JTAC.

:) Glad I have not to upgrade immediately...

Would that (b10) be compatible with a hotfixed b8->b9?

It's not available (yet?)!

Just made a test run: Works superb! TY Headspace!

http://www.simflight.com/2011/08/top-gun-versus-fsx/ Love it! Makes me hope for DCS F/A-18! ;)

What went wrong? And what was the reason you didn't discover it at testing?

Will do some recording today.

OK, we checked our configs and things looked alright. Just sending you my log via your website form.

Rgr, will re-check! How would I notice that something went wrong updating?

A F-104 would be really sexy with that surface! :)

Hm... Just did some quick testing: You really think transmissions should be nearly lost at 15nm??? (we flew at 7.000ft with a clear line of sight)

TY Sir! To be honest, I had not expected it that fast! Great to hear!
