WW2 news reel

Priorities is the big one.

Impressive, that's even more bleak than my take on WW2A DCS. I don't know if it's that bad. But I don't think the F35 is good for ww2 dcs. It only means less resources for ww2 dcs. I'm honestly impressed by how long they've spent on WW2 Marianas. I assume it's one guy working on it an hour every 6th Sunday. It's some tiny islands, mostly covered with palm trees. Yet they've spent far longer on the ww2 version then the modern one with the nice golf course.

Hard day for RAF Lympne in 1940

F5 remaster does have a head. But like the warbirds. It doesn't appear the editing the lua works. Would be nice if they could add some commonality. Both in regards to view editing and head.

So only useful in a few modules anyway, since most don't have a head

Thanks, interesting, but I don't have any server lua Edit ok, managed to steal the server.lua from the DCS main folder, and your settings work for the F-4, but I tried to change the name to the F-5E name, but it won't work. Edit 2, and the F4 pilot is headless...

Can you give me a how to? I I've been using this In the main DCS folder views lua. And it only works on F16, and F15E for me. I've tried on the F5 and F4. But it won't let me move the camera further away or turn it 360.

It seems only a few aircraft have this ability. F16, F18 and F15E has it(but F15E pilot has no head in F1 mode) F5 doesn't seem to respond, F4 doesn't seem to respond. Those are the modules I've tired.

Always exciting. Will it be a big one. A medium one. Or a small one. We never know until it's here. And it's always fun speculating.

You'd think that. But one of the excuses/reasons for not getting those 6 assets pack AI ww2 aircraft they talked about 6 or 7 years ago. Was because it was "all hands on deck" for multithreading. I don't see any overlap between multithreading and making 3d models and putting them in as AI. But apparently there is. So if that's the case. All bets are off.

I'm not sure they are actually working on anything ww2 related, except maybe the odd texture update in a cockpit. Given all the stuff they are doing. Afghanistan, Iraq, 29a, 15c, 35. Dynamic campaign Continuing work on the hook, F16, F16. Then all the core work. Vulkan, atmosphere, save game feature, AI etc etc. I don't think there's anyone left to work on ww2. Last year they showed any lot of ww2, particularly PTO. This year we had mabye 5 second of ww2 total. Probably ED moving away from PTO when they learned about the upcoming competition. F35 will give them more money. Instead of having to beat the competition over PTO.

Don't think the C is any more challenging. Given that even the B mostly takes off and lands automatically. With just a few button presses.

Because I said countries that used the A. Not Squdis going on a cruise. No other countries use the C. I would have no interest in the C. I want the A as that fits Norway on Kola(and any place they deploy like Poland now) And I'm sure that's true for people from Poland, Germany, Australia, Denmark, Finland, Canada, Belgium, Finland, Italy, Romania, Greece, Singapore Czech Republic and Switzerland who all use A or will use A in the future.

Except only a few American squids fly the C. While there are already hundreds of As already in use by NATO allies. Including 1 nation in the Kola map(soon 2) One nation on the upcoming Top End Australia, 1 nation on Sinai/Syria 2 nation on the potential Central Europe map.

Blufor has been fighting out of date crap since the late 80s in real life. Even stuff like Su27 and MiG29 was no real challenge vs F15C in early 90s. And redfor is still using MiG29A models and early Su27, hell even MiG21s are used in some numbers. And stuff like Su35 or MiG35 can't really be compared to F35. Mabye F16 block 70.

We don't even have C5 or C7. We got the C3.

So will the F35 actually get AIM120D/C8? Or will it be stuck flinging 90s AMRAAMs at 45nm range?

If we only get one. I hope it's the early one. Desert storm was the last hurrah for US air to air combat and the F15C was the undisputed champion

Corsair, the original one, has been in at least 2 20XX and beyond videos and we have no idea when that will show up.

This must have shown up in the last patch, as I ran this mission in December and the AI didn't do that. River Rescuse-20250115-151952.trk

Really? I thought this was an ED project? Well if it's actually Ugra, that is good news indeed.

I'm always annoyed when I don't get the vidoes I want. There's so much test after the Christmas eve patch. And I have ideas. But then life comes in the way, DCS don't want to do what I want it to do. And quite rarely other games come in the way. This time all three at the same time. So I made as simple mission as one can. A 2 v 2 dogfight with old mostly useless heaters. It was a bloody day. One Norwegian pilot killed, one soviet pilot killed. One soviet pilot suffering a fate worse than death. Forced to eat lutefisk as a POW in Norway. Me being so incompetent I crashed into a MiG21 and didn't even notice it. And belly landed my F5 by accident.

I never use Caucasus. While the forests now looks good thanks to core upgrades. The towns and open areas remind me of IL2 ground graphics (though not as bad) but it pulls me out of my immersion in VR. I personally love Kola, it gets better and better for each update. Syra and Normandy are still the standard all others would measure against. I wish all maps looked like Normandy 2 down low. I can place ground units almost anywhere on the map and it will look good. I do hope Fulda gap will look more like Normandy 2 then it will Afghanistan or Iraq.

Yes. But that's not how Red Flags work. If you actually blow up an aircraft. Something very wrong has happened. I would want a way to simulate the simulated combat used in modern training. This would not only be realistic in top gun campaigns. And red flag campaigns. But major wargames have been done over the exact area we have Kola and will also be on the top end Australia. Having red books by pilots taking part in red flag. Throwing simulated AMRAAMs would be immersive in those missions.
