Same here, I knew I wasn't gonna get to fly it today as it releases just as dinner and family times starts, but was looking forward to spend most of the morning and afternoon tomorrow with it. But now in best case scenario I'll have to wait for Thursday to test it. Really 1st world problem thing that really doesn't matter, but still annoying.

Both Mustang and P47 can do a dogfight at like 20% Spitfire and 109 should probably had 40% as they don't have very big tanks and in combat will drain them really quickly.

From deciphering what I've read. It seems the reason for lack of infantry units is that ED has worked on new animations. And making new model types before that was ready would just mean doing twice the work. Hopefully with the new animations. We'll seen new infantry models come along.

Depends. The VSN are different models. But it might be hard flying the VSN F4 after having flown the HB F4.

In these cases you'll have to use task force blue or red. Like you have to do with lots of ground units.

Jester is actually pronounced Throatwobbler Mangrove

Based on the videos that have shown up the last week or so it looks like it does.

It's probably coming

This is most excellent indeed. Anything that help bring realism and life to airbases and FOBs.

I definitely don't want low quality trees anywhere on the map. It's sucks enough to see them when flying a helicopter (like on Caucasus) but it sucks even more trying to make ground attack vidoes, with low quality terrain

Thank you. Yes. It seems the Kola map/dcs capture the long soft light you get at higer longitudes very well.

I can't say I make particularly good vidoes. But if I do a 30-40 minutes mission. I have to rerun the replay 8-10 times to get various angles etc. And also just hope the replay doesn't bug out. Like my last video only 15 minutes long. Still the replay bugged out and the mig21 I shot down gets hit by a sidewinders and is missing a wing and on fire just continues to fly like nothing happend until it gets hit by my missing. This seems to be a mig21 bug. As I've only experienced these flying zombie planes on fire with the mig21. So 40 minutes of flying can easily be 4 hours of reruns. To get b-roll. Before the actual editing starts.

Cool. I'll check these out.

To some degree it could be used for ww2, much like Kola(though no allied bases to take off from) I think a Balkan map would include parts of Italy for no other reason that that seems to be were most NATO jets were placed.

I'm guessing not. I think the ww2 thing is so separate that it doesn't count and the complaint about sand maps is a jet based thing as we have no warbirds sand maps. Looks like the one green map will be central Europe cold war. I'm guessing the second green map will be Balkans. I don't think it will be Korea as there is so little Korea war era assets in DCS.

With Kola map. I think this is needed for cold war Russian carrier fleet.

Not the oaks we have here. They might not drop as easily. But wind and snow takes of the majority of the leaves. Not that there are a lot of oak in northern nordics, 1000 years ago we did have oak forests. But colder temperatures combined with use of oak for ship and house building let the spruces take over. Now oak is doing a bit of a comeback with the warming climate.

The channel map, Caucasus and "that other ww2 Combat sim" have brown dead leaves on their trees in the winter. Tress in winter doesn't really do that. Either they are evergreens like pine and spruce or the tress will be leafless. Not this brown dead leaf thing the channel and Caucasus has.

Nothing can stop the two most powerful forces of Sweden when they combine.

I fly from anywhere from 200 to 1500 (snuck in an extra 0) I just hit the BX8 and it should add BX6 and 7 by itself and I don't see any cross on the radar for BX7 when I go to ANF which the tutorials claim, my cross is also different from both video tutorials and chucks guide, but all these tutorials are like 5-7 years old so I don't know if it's just a graphical change. the tutorials show a faint cross, but I get a big fat cross inside a circle. Here's a track Sweden-20240511-151651.trk

So I've watched several tutorials and chucks guide and I can't get it to work. I set QFR to waypoint 2, that I turn into a attack point. I set the SLAV IS to FRAN, and RHM, I set weapons to attack. I fly towards the ships, I find them on the radar, I hit BX and 8, move the cursor over the ships and lock them. I set the main mod to ANF. And take of the safety on the trigger Now two things happen. 1. I get the radar altitude height light showing that something is wrong, and refuses to release 2. Some times I get ranging info for release sometimes not, and it's random if I get it or not, I can repeat the process 5 times doing the exact same thing, some times I get ranging, some times I don't but I always get the light stopping me from releasing the weapon, doesn't mater if I'm 200 meters or 15 000 meters over the water. I can not get release.

Finally I don't have to fly in an F16 possed by a long dead fighter pilot who can't leave the living world until his mission is complete.

I can finally defend Norway from the Soviets horde. No more Norway from WISH(SA) for me.
