I have a request. Please use realistic weather effects. For example, we see white caps with strong winds while flying over the ocean. For runways next to the ocean on gusty days, enable the effect ocean spray and ocean water pooling on the runways and taxiways. Add some wildlife like seals on the beaches or sharks in the water wet. Sharks like the Great White Shark or Killer Sharks. For static visuals, enable us to have demonstrations and demonstrators near the airfield. For any discarded 55 gallon drums lying around, allow us to upload a logo or graphic of our choosing that will appear. MFT

@ScaleyThe discord link in your dcs profile is either invalid or expired. I clicked on it and message says the link expired.

@M F1Thanks for the update. We are eager to buy the F-1, when available.

I tried using the discord @Napoleon. I tried yesterday and again today. I am not able to find you. What is the discord link? The discord link might be more helpful. Mike Force Team

I agree a follow-up video for the South Atlantic Maps would be great.

When the B-52 as AI is available, will we have the option of selecting different Pratt and Whittney engines? Will future versions of the B-52 allow us to select either 50 caliber machine guns or galling guns for the tail guns?

When I see the videos showing the A-6 Intruder, a movie comes to mind. The movie is called Flight of the Intruder. I look forward to flying the A-6, when available.

Thank you for the update. We send our prayers and positive thoughts to the developers' families. We pray for a peaceful outcome. MFT

When the eurofighter is finally available, can we fly it in the south Atlantic map?

Will we be able to fly the F-4 in the south Atlantic map when it is available? MFT

Any new updates on the F-4E phantom? We have not received any new updates. MFT

The flying tanks look like they escaped from a science fiction movie. First time I saw tanks in orbit around the earth in DCS.

@angrysilverbeard Welcome from the east coast of america. Thank you for serving our country. Mike Force Team

@Phadreus Welcome, My name is Mike and welcome. I wanted to share my experiences with buying jets. I recommend you purchase the F/A-18 before the F-16. The F/A-18 allows you to do either carrier missions or land based runway missions. The F/A-18 is more forgiving as well as easier to learn than the F-16. As for a gaming computer, I recommend an alienware with the I-9 with 4 TB with at least 32 GB for 15 inch monitor. It should cost approximately $3,800. Invest in logitech rudder pedals and in a large gaming monitor. Mike Force Team

To the developers and beta testers of the F-1 Mirage, we are willing to spend our money to buy your plane. We know it has to be vetted. At the same time, we are ready to buy the jet when it is ready. MFT

@Baco I read your frustration. I, too, would like to fly the Mirage F-1. Aside from expressing our desires in the forum for the F-1, all we can do is wait in the meantime. We obviously want to experience the instant gratification with our new jets. I theorize that the F-1 might be available around the same time the South Atlantic Map is available. Eventually, we will enjoy flying the Mirage F-1 at some time in the future. MFT

Looks like the pilot is having serious coffee withdrawal symptoms.

I use the open beta.

@draconus When you are looking at other jets, I recommend you wait on getting the F-14 tomcat. That jet can be difficult to handle when you are just getting started. I experienced many flat spins in my F-14; as a result, I ejected from the planes. While it is accurately modelled, the flat spins are no fun. On a different subject, you might consider these items for your gaming. You can invest in an ergonomic palm rest and an ergonomic mouse pad. They reduce the pressure you might experiences on your hands and palms. Look for the products that are gel-filled. I do not recommend buying the mouse pads or palm rests that have foam. After a period of use, they do not offer consistent support due. Gel-filled products likely cost more but you are more likely to be more satisficed in the long run.

When you are looking at the jets, I suggest getting the f/a-18 hornet. This jet is more user-friendly. Additionally, the jet gives you the ability to land on either carriers or on land based runways. For the choppers, you can get the apache. It is brand new and highly popular. The other chopper I like is the ka-50, which is a Russian gunship that has ejection seats. One additional item to consider is investing in rudder pedals. They make the flying experience more enjoyable and realistic. To better enjoy the sound of dcs world, I recommend buying quality corded gaming headphones. Another consideration is to purchase a battery backup for your computer. It is an investment that could protect your computer in cause of unexpected power outages. When looking at the various aircraft, look at independent reviews on YouTube channels. Grim Reapers is a hugely popular channel dedicated to DCS world. Another popular channel is Prickley Hedgehog. Here is a strategy you can think about. Wait until DCS world places their aircraft on sale. They do it approximately once a quarter. Purchase the jets or choppers one at a time. This is more budget friendly and allows you to gain the experience in flying while living within your financial means.

I would add the Jaguar to my list. This jet would be great for flying missions on the South Atlantic Map, when it is available.

I know some other popular flight simulators have moving vehicles and ground support equipment on the their flight lines. It would be a nice addition to have.

Enable George to utter choice words when he gets frustrated. For example, he starts to say cuss words.

I second that suggestion.

And if only we could have convinced the Army to put ejection seats in the Apache. Sigh, jettisoning the canopy or munitions is as close as we get.
