The future will show if this and the choices taken almost a year ago were the right ones. Until that time my wallet will be closed for the ED store.

Resorting to name calling as expected. Maybe you should adhere to your own advise and lay of the conspiracy theories. Have a wonderful day

It's true that it is an IP dispute, in that ED alleges that Razbam misused ED's IP. That's what's stated in Nick Grey's statement on page 1. The F-15E code&artwork is Razbam's IP, not ED's. Very different things. Now, IP infringement can be anything from using a logo without prior approval to selling the IP and we don't know where on that scale the alleged infringement is. The hearsay is from a nothing burger to threatening the survival of DCS. Do you have inside into Razbam's business plans to state something like that? Also ED can't really fix bigger issues if they don't have the source code. The F-15's radar fix any script kiddy could have done, so that doesn't really count. Not to forget IP infringement issues. If the developer(Razbam) wrote, even before the fiasco, that these things are planned it seems reasonable to assume that they would have happen at some point. There are more places for information exchange than a forum run by one party of the dispute. Have a great day

The only way I see Razbam selling their IP would be with a substantial bonus over what is already owned. But as you said even that might be not enough. The 15 is a cash-cow and even in it's current state one of the best modules in game. Would be a shame for it to disappear over egos, greed, and hurt feelings. You wrong on both counts. Razbam planned to update/upgrade their older modules to the new standards. The MiG-19 with a new 3d model in and out. Harrier getting the fixes and updates with what was learned during the F-15s development. Not to forget the MiG-23, which would have set a new standard for "modern" redfor planes. ED never guaranteed that the feature complete modules will keep working. Just that they will try. They all still might go the way of the Hawk. To the 2nd point, ED needs to change a lot for a successful future. They should take a page out from the developer from the big civ sim. Very different approach there. People didn't forgot about the Hawk issues and that was one bad module plus a long time ago. Even 3rd party devs seem to have taken notice. Selling first at their own store or adding individual install analytics to their module. Looks like trust issues and who can blame them, learn from the past. I don't know if the first post in this threat is different for you to what I can see, but Razbam's statement just said that they stopped development due to issues with ED, nothing else. That was also after 8+months of no resolution for whatever reason. I can't fault them for that announcement. Nobody should be forced to work for free or see the fruits of their labor withhold. Plus if they didn't say anything and just stopped working everybody would call them all the names in the book. ED's statement on the other hand reads very unprofessional and seemed more intended to shape a narrative. Very weird statement. If the IP infringement was that bad that it threatens the survival of DCS(NL's own words), why does Razbam still have access to all the tools and was even encouraged to keep updating their modules for free? Why didn't ED, as the publisher, suspended the release or stop the sale of the F-15E if the issues were that dangerous? They knew at least 6+months before Razbam's announcement about the issues. What happened to all the withhold funds for Razbam's modules? Lots of unanswered questions for which we, as the customer, don't have a right to the answer. But they are still there. All that leaves a sour taste and really made a big dent into the enjoyment of DCS for me. Others in the communities I frequent have similar feelings. If a 3rd party has their own store I will buy there, for the ED store it has to be something I'm really interested in. Plus at the moment I don't see me buying any ED module, even if I was really looking forward to the Chinook. If that changes in the future depends not only on how this dispute is resolved, but also what ED will change for the future. As said before, they should look at the big civ sim developer for inspiration. ED is not only the platform owner, but also the publisher. The buck stops with them.

Just the s. http://www.alasrojas.com/Upload/Mirage_F1_Template.rar works for me. As nobody else seemed to have the issue, it's probably a configuration issue on my side. Thanks for the new template.

Thanks, I had to use http instead of https. For whatever reason I got the unable to connect error with https. Now back to adjusting my old liveries.

Is there a chance for a reupload? I always get an unable to connect error. Thanks

What exactly did Razbam do?

There is just one file different from the one-seater.

Flaps and gears are odd and how to bind radar cursor
PaulToo replied to Gunfreak's topic in Controller Questions and Bugs
The 3 positions of the flaps I have bound to slat/flap lever full up, 1/2 flap, full flap. Works for me with a 3 position switch. Gear is only 2 positions, with the additional safety lever, bound U/C control lever -extend/retract for the gear, and U/C safety lever open/close for the safety latch. The latch doesn't really work, at least for me. Radar cursor is radar control stick bearing control and radar control stick range/velocity control. Both are axis. -
IFF/NCTR- sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't
PaulToo replied to YoYo's topic in Bugs and Problems
Coolie left long (outbound) is for IFF, coolie right long is for NCTR. That's for the front cockpit. As others have stated NCTR only works for frontal aspect and at certain ranges. Both methods work for me. -
