Indeed. I've read dozens of books about ww2 fighters(mostly British and American, but a few German ones too) And pilots would almost never do a full cold start up. Either the engine had been regularly wamred up. So it was just doing a few checks and get the engine started (like during scramble watch) or the pilots would walk up to an already running aircraft that the ground crew started 15 minutes earlier while the pilots threw some food and coffee in them. I know reflected loves to get us to cold start our aircraft, but in most of his ww2 campaigns, it would be more realistic to just jump into a hot start aircraft. But at least a "warm start" option would save us the 15+ minutes of warm up the P47 wants.

I don't know the quality of American NVGs in the mid 2000s(F18/F16) But apparently well into the 2010s British use the same crappy NVGs in their Eurofighters as they did in the early 90s in the Jaguars. Low resolution, blurry and far from great unless you have a decent moon or other light sources.

Will the F5 remaster get it? Seems like the next logical module to get it.

But when did they stop using them. If the block 50 did use them in the 90s. It should still be available

Seems like a quite common bomb is missing from the F-16? You either have to us 500lb or the overkill 2000lb

Would be nice if the Infantry could stay down in the trenches when I tell them to walk down there. And Would be nice if infantry were in the watch towers not on top of them stuff walks wrong.trk

So for those with force sensing stick for the F16, what settings to you use in the special options regarding the controls, I think mine has reset or something, and I don't remember the settings if you have force sensing stick.

It does have various trim options to cater to different type of equipment

I have swapped the axis. If not the trim would go flying to the opposite direction when releasing force trim. This is more that the stick moves a a cm or so from where I let go of the force trim. The special trim settings are set to instantaneous. And i have 15 curves on both axis(same as I have on the Apache.

When i hold the force trim button and move the stick, then release it. The stick moves a cm or two. And so doesn't actually stop where i want it. And given 1 cm stick movement is quite huge when trying precision stuff like hover. It makes the use of force feedback trimming kinda useless.

Listening to the book Dagger 22, which gave me some ideas. Kiowa is closest support to a ANA check point under long range fire from a Dushka

Doesn't seem to have any effect

So this FOB isn't on the map, and I can't find any info by googling about it's exact location or how it looked.

Really should be standard equipment for everyone using vr. I use it for all sims i play in vr(that other modern combat sim has fancy voice attack thing, similar to vaicom in dcs) i also use it in several other vr games. Just being able to call up menu with your voice is a lot of help.

You see the MiG21 on rwr too, it's just so weak they are basically within visual range before they show up on the rwr.

Did a check. No A6. Given how long people have been waiting for it. I'm sure it would have been released with a bit more fanfare even if it was just an AI unit. I got 98gigs

Apparently it's a DCS terrain engine thing. To get a proper vinter, you'd need a completely different map just for winter to get proper snow and ice on lakes and rivers. What annoys me is the "dead trees" during winter they just look like they are grey with grey leafs. But they are leafless. But are made such a way they don't look it, unless you put the camera right into the branches of the tree.

Great patch. But I thought the AI A6 was coming this time?

Even in the 90s there would be probably, i think 2 AIM-54s were fired during the gulf war. But failed in some way(mechanical not guidance if i remember correctly)

The perfection of AI does remove a lot of realism. Sadly making realistic AI seems to be hardest thing in any game, from old RTS, fighting games, shooters and sims(racing and flight) As it is now, there seens to be very little difference between best and worst AI settings on ground units, except their accuracy in firing of gund/cannons. Having learned about the RWR in the new MIG29. It's almost useless for anything except (stuff is out there) a human player will not have good SA in that thing. But the AI can interpret the RWR at light speed. Same goes for SAMs. SAMs when on, will never have any delay in finding out where the enemy is. No head scratching, no turning of diels or looking through scopes in those old vacuum tube machines. Perfect modern computer accuracy and efficiency. And that's without taking into account that in some instances (cough Iraq cough) the crew simply refused to do what they were supposed to do or ran as soon as they understood they were being targeted (this last thing can be somewhat simulated with triggers we have now, but it not a straight forward process)

But I only want 1 activation of 1 group. Not all 3 at different times.

So I'm working on a mission. So far I have made triggers that will randomly activate 1 of 3 or neither SAM sites from hold fire to free to fire. I also have a trigger that will randomly activate 1 of 3 flights after 20 minutes upon player aircraft entering a zone. But I want to add another element of randomness, I want to make that 20 minutes more random, with 3 different times 20, 40 and 60 minutes, but my small brain has reached it's limits to add triggers now. I understand I have to put a trigger somewhere between the zone trigger when the aircraft enters the zone and one of the 3 flights getting activated. But as I said, now I'm lost in the woods of the triggers. Any help? EDIT Can I simply add "or" to the trigger so "time since flag 1200" or "time since flag 2400" or "time since flag 3600"

I'm still having this problem. And it's random. Sometimes it launches Sometimes don't (i have the special option on) same mission. Half the time it works. Other half it doesn't
