So, with the F-4U in the pipeline, and the WW2 Marianas Map coming....for those of us that love the PTO, could we throw in a Solomon Islands map on the Wish List for "some day"? Would be great to fly the slot from Henderson up to Bouganville, or even New Britain. That whole area was massively important during the war....

This was with a hot start, flying along. So, technically, the engine wasn't warm, but game wise, it should have been considered warm. It happens often enough that it is annoying, but not so bad that I want to stop flying the Mossy.... (Now, taxi-ing the damn thing is another issue we won't even talk about! LOL!)

On the other hand, I am getting to practice my dead stick landings a lot. (I readily admit that I have less than 15 hours in the Mossie, so I am just a beginner. But flying along and just having one engine quit on my [erroneous ignition timing] can be a bit frustrating, especially since I haven't done anything, just flying along at 2650 and 9. Hopefully, it is just me being a NOOB and not an issue with the plane.)

OH, man. There you go, spoiling my childhood and ruining most of my adult life. Hollywood makes stuff up? I am befuddled, crushed beyond reasonable hope.

The way I fly, collapsing the nose gear on carrier landings is normal.....

Well, I understand you can't test it with mods, but it worked fine up until that latest update. Not sure what changed, but something with the Shrike changed. Eagerly awaiting the planned updates to the Shrike and all. I know, patience is a virtue...

Patience, Grasshopper. When it arrives, I'll buy it, I'll fly it. While I am as eager as the next guy, I can fly the Scooter and the other planes while I wait. Sure, I want it out yesterday, same as the Skyraider, but I can wait. (At least I keep telling myself that!)

Really nice to have the TACAN back. Thanks for all the work you guys put in to this thing. My favorite plane...

Yes, they do crash, but not all the time. It is weird - don't know what happened. If I have a 4 plane flight leave a carrier, usually lose one of them to crashing into the sea. Another thing is "Bingo fuel, ejecting". I don't think it is the A-4, but the AI for DCS. It does strange things sometimes.

Back on the deck handling - I spend a lot of time flying from a ground base.

Rats. This is going to seriously cut in to my DCS time, since I fly the A-4 almost exclusively.....

I can't get the radio menu (space bar) to do anything. Not sure if that is a "me" thing or what. I like the looks of Chapter One, and want to give it a go (mostly for the formation and A/A refueling training), but not getting the comm part to work puts a damper on it. It does look very polished, and love to see the Scooter getting some missions. Ok, Ok...I got it. It WAS a ME thing (again). Not sure how I missed it, but remembering to check ALL the downloads necessary helped out a lot. Thanks again for putting this together.

Sometimes, it is better to not know how things happen, just be happy they got the job done.

The beaches look a lot different than when I visited in '74. The same with Avranches. London sure has grown up a bit. Really an impressive piece of work. I know that there are some updates that will be done, and I can wait for that to occur. It is REALLY nice. The bocage looks a lot better....have to relearn my landmarks, but hey, I can live with that.

Yes, it is annoying....especially when I am just now learning to fly the Jug. The perfect landing is still eluding me, so I have been blowing up a lot.
