Ok, let's just move along. This is an entertainment product for me and I don't really play much anymore, other things to do in my old age. It does seem that there is a little bit of a clique on here all licking up to chickensoup or whatever. More important things in life than some graphics and digits depicting an imaginary aircraft but each to his own. Mizzy

So you were not mad at all with the Harrier, but now you really don't care anymore with the Harrier ? It's statements like this that must infuriate people that develop software. Let me make it simple for you, are you not mad or are you mad with the Harrier ? Please try to leave out individuals when deciding, we are talking about software not human beings and their character ! Mizzy

Any other demands while you are there :rolleyes:

Yes that is the problem, some people jumping on the 'hate wagon' before they have educated themselves with a few facts. Mizzy

Precisely, hardly anyone I know or have known reads a DCS manual other than a quick reference when needed. The people complaining about manuals have far too much time on their hands. Btw, I like the Harrier and their Mirage but reading the stuff people write about the Razbam, if I were them I would just close the DCS shop and develope for MSFS 2020 where they don't really bother that much in if the systems are realistic and never have. DCS is a commercial combat flight simulation game, not real life. Some of you really do need to learn how to complain as it gets much better results. People don't like nasty comments and don't be surprised if people just walk away from it. Mizzy

Are we going to have F5 hurricanes and Tsunami's at sea :D Seriously this has been the BIGGEST feature I have been waiting for, so much so that I don't currently play DCS until it has some proper clouds. I only fly around (don't do combat) so this is a biggy for me ! Mizzy

With better clouds and cloudy weather, I bet that's a BIG game changer for all you fair weather dog fighters :D Mizzy

Yes I meant 2.5.6 or whatever it is :D Mizzy

I was just messing about flying around with my modules and having a look inside the cockpit at the model of the pilot. First of all, I thought it was my imagination but I swear the pilot model in the F86 is fully animated pulling on the stick going up and down, sideways and not just his head moves. I observed the other aircraft but they did not have the same animation, is this a new feature but exclusive to the F86? It's really cool to watch :) Mizzy

It would make sense they are working on the Draken as a full blown module jobbie but not a AI only for several years. If it is going to be a full fidelity module, count me very well IN !! A model of the Draken was used in a Thunderbirds episode back in 1965 due to it's futuristic look, lets face it, it do look like something out of Star Wars for it's time and still is an iconic shape for an aircraft conceived in the 50s. Strange people the Swedes but don't underestimate their abilities. Mizzy

Sorry I mean looking from outside the aircraft on a night not inside. They used to have it in the old flanker series but they don't now. Mizzy

In Flanker 2 and 2,5 they used to have cockpits that lit up in the dark but they don't in DCS, Just asking ! Mizzy

So I take it proper clouds are not going to be in DCS anytime soon ? Mizzy

I don't get involved in these things so I wouldn't know. But what always strikes me is hidden politics and patriotism 'my country's missile is better than yours' so I cannot see any realism in this regard because as stated it's all classified data on both sides and ED doesn't want a p^^ing match. I am sure that if they look and feel realistic, that's as much as you are going to get .......Oh and I forgot GAME PLAY ! It doesn't bother me, DCS is a flight simulator for me so I will go and get my coat. Mizzy

I remember years ago purchasing Razbam products for FS2004 in particular the old 1960s (my favorite era) A-4 Skyhawks with a nice cockpit (for the time) and nice 3d models (for the time). It's such an iconic airframe, why have you not considered doing a full fidelity module. Skyhawks are carrier based with lots of variations of loadout that make for a mega module in DCS especially with this new supercarrier genius idea from ED !! Well it was just a thought. Mizzy

Negativity ! I would pay five times the price of the most expensive module to have proper clouds. DCS is the only flight sim I don't fly with clouds or fog etc activated. It's far to poor at the minute and in desperate need of correction. If IL-2 can do a good job, why not DCS... It surely must be a priority ? Mizzy PS They had better clouds in Flanker 2.5 modded !! Btw I had nothing to do with that :)

Hello new and old players of Flanker Lock on etc. My name is Christina and I call myself 'Mizzy' on this forum named after my cat Mizzy who passed away many years ago. I am possibly the only member of this forum that does not use DCS as a combat simulator. I love military jets mainly the 60s era but have no interest in fighting.

I have been watching loads of films in lockdown and one I think the community would appreciate is the movie 'The Bridges of Toko Ri' 1954. It has lots of sequences of old style carrier operations which are not too different to the Super Carrier!! Spot the similarities, this movie is great for story and emotion for pilots all have a family you know !! ;) Mizzy

Which aircraft/product have you decided to buy ? I bought the Supercarrier, it's really exciting and reminds me of when I got 'flight deck' a toy featuring a model of a F4 on rails and you had to land on a cardboard carrier deck with a nylon string acting as the thingy you have to catch on landing. I have bought the F18 but can't land it on a carrier as yet but since I don't fight or anything, this is a brilliant addition for some of us who prefer to do other things in DCS. I also bought the JF17 cos it's brilliant. Mizzy

Well done, I was thinking of doing the same. Mizzy

razo, why be aggressive all the time, you can pick up the SC for 20 quid !! It's peanuts to pay for but has had a lot of work put into it. Why not pay a measly few dollars and enjoy a great product ...Geez Mizzy

How do you open these types of files as I can't seem to open them in GIMP 2 ? Mizzy

I'm hoping ED do a staged cloud/weather introduction of their new system. For example single player only until it's worked out for multiplayer, activate/deactivate the new system so that the ones that are FPS conscious won't clog up the forums with complaints as it's voluntary. I recall that you could enable the 'EDGE clouds several years ago but they had graphic glitches and so ED disabled them. Mizzy

It's early morning here in the UK and I decided to try out some modules I don't have, I have most of them though. Anyway, I wanted to try a few I have not got like the Mig 19, F16, the Spanish trainer jet thing plus some of the WWII stuff. Personally i was really impressed with the J-17 module from Dekaworks, it has loads of potential for all you fighter jet combat jocks with AA/AG/Anti ship la de dar but I liked it because its go a retro look about it. This airframe looks comfortable in the 1960 era personally speaking. I know some people say the cockpit was a bit naff graphically but they can easily sort that out. Next one was of course the Mig 19 for same reasons, I'm an old skool aircraft lover. I just wondered what other peoples thoughts were about their preference in buying any modules we have had the privilege of trying out for free for a generous length of time ? Personally I am not that interested in the F16 at the present moment. I have F4 BMS for that until the DCS modules matures a bit more. I have also bought (as a gift) the F18 and it's brilliant, so the Supercarrier is a must buy for me now. What's your thoughts on the Free to fly aircraft? Which ones are you going to keep flying after the freebie ends? Mizzy

What are you talking about ?? 2080 ti etc. Your eyes struggle to notice any difference over 60fps. Mizzy
