yeah.

Will their true functionality ever be implemented in the sim, besides being an ineffective cluster bomb?

could anybody answer please?

So, you were saying?

Is there any combat in these simulations? Or is it just all flight models and that sort of stuff

Do mean the red diamond symbols, or the red triangle symbols, the latter of which denote target assignments by the JTAC, while the former represents an enemy unit position on the entire net. Which one are you referring to

Really? which version of Open Falcon was it?

So I guess that the enemy unit symbols on pg. 311 of the manual are going to be included later?

Really? Have you seen these datalink symbols before? I certainly haven't

Which one of the numerous mods to Falcon 4.0 had a Sniper XR in it? was it Open Falcon or something like that?

How do these symbols get to show up in the TAD? I've never seen them before, and I certainly think they would come in handy to people like me in the campaign missions, where It's handy to know the positions of enemy units before i go in and get shot down by them. Is this not modeled or am I missing something?

look on page 311 of the manual. It shows 4 symbols besides the digital tasking symbol that are stuff like friendly aircraft symbol and wingman symbol, and then the ubiquitous green "X" for friendly ground forces, and finally, there are two others that we haven't seen yet, these are the red enemy ground and air unit symbols. I don't know if threat circles are shown, but these red symbols might be included later.

well what would I know?

Wow! You mean that the JTAC and Datalink are not finished yet? wow!

What if I am in the middle of engaging a JTAC-assigned target, and I run out of the weapon he assigned me to use on the target. What do I do then? Do I use another weapon without his authorization? Or do I somehow inform him of this? I have not come across this yet, but I want to be prepared when it does occur.

I think that you can get the JTAC to pick his own targets, but he needs line of sight. It's somewhere in the "add" button and it is labeled "FAC" to VJS161 fire, I think there is a mission posted somewhere on these forums that has an OH-58D acting as AFAC, I had it on my missions list but I think I lost it when I updated it to beta 2. I also saw somewhere "again" on these forums about using the predator drone as a JTAC, might be in the JTAC flexibilty thread, use the search function...

for the problems with nevada, here is a link http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=60506 I also think that the Khashuri gap mission has a very good JTAC as well ( two of them! )

amen to that!

The is the problem with pharmaceuticals lies in their profits. what do they come from, you ask? people getting sick. See, if they actually put effort into developing more life-saving drugs, then their profits would Be REDUCED( not disappear ), but more lives would be saved. I personally am from the states, but I still think the system in place around the world is not doing enough to help its own species.

sorry, I think posted a little while ago about the password for the FTP, does anyone know this? thanks

well then! I was excited about the patch but then I got 15 hours download speed for the HTTP3, looks like I'll wait to download ( does anybody know the password for the FTP?)

Yes!, finally! downloading...

really?

Hello! I love school, complicated flight sims, and anything nerdy. Sorry, but don't expect to see me on the multiplayer servers ( external reasons ).

Lovely! I love every bit of it, although the AFAC comms seem a bit incomplete ( I say ready to copy 9-line and he stops there) but besides that it's excellent!
