I really want the Spitfire and the 109. But with the Dora coming out in less than a month... I think it has to be the two German birds.

In that case you'd do fine against me! :P

The phrase "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth" comes to mind. It's unfortunate RRG didn't work out, but thanks to ED we at least get something. I'll take what I can get! :)

This looks great! I can't wait to lose control on takeoff and go careening off the runway. ... Uh, I mean gracefully take this for a first flight! :D

That was one of the coolest videos I've seen in a long time, thanks for posting it. It made me feel a little jittery seeing how close to the edge of the deck you were directed to go! All in a day's work I guess. :thumbup: I often fly over/past/through the Whidbey area as one of those little civilian planes as we buzz our way from Seattle on cross country training flights. I'll wave next time I go past. :P

You can also turn off the bleed air instead of ejecting the canopy. It angers the crew chiefs less. :D

It's probably just part of the normal testing process. Find a bug, report it, it gets fixed, a new build goes out, it gets tested again, etc. Back and forth between LN and ED as needed. :)

I think they deserve two high fives each no matter when it gets released! :D

Plus it takes time to do the bug squashing since there's a bit of back-and-forth between testers and developers. A tester finds a bug and submits a report; someone on the dev team then has to read the report, implement a fix, and that fix has to be incorporated in the next test build. The original tester then checks to see the bug is fixed once that test build is made, etc... It's a bit of a process. :) Even though Cobra mentioned that the code is basically complete, I bet they're still working really hard at this point. I'm sure it will be a huge relief for them when the plane releases!

I think it was Dolphin who explained that the "implemented" GCI system is the built-in AWACS function present in DCS World. He had a good post, maybe someone here knows where that is. [EDIT] Here it is! http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=2059640#post2059640

The link worked here. Great photos, that's a very shiny plane!

Truer words have never been spoken. :thumbup:

Yeah, I'm not sure openly-posting a Photoshoppable screenie is such a good idea. I mean, anyone who has contributed to an Indiegogo project could do it but still...

Yes! I've been very much looking forward to this! Also wow, that was a really good trailer too.

Ah, thanks for nitpicking, good detail! :thumbup:

It might be worth it to mention here: Semi-Active Radar Homing (SARH): The missile has no radar of its own. The launching aircraft illuminates the target with its radar, and the missile tracks that energy reflecting off the target. Think of the launching aircraft as having a really big spotlight that shines on the target, and the missile "sees" the reflection from that. Active Radar Homing (ARH): The missile has its own on-board radar that can illuminate the target. This is like the missile having its own small flashlight to track the target once it gets close enough for the small size of the radar to be effective. The R-27 family and AIM-7 are examples of SARH, and the AIM-120 and R-77 are examples of ARH. :thumbup: (there are of course other types of guidance, but these are probably the most common for air-to-air missiles).

Well put! +1 Certainly interesting news today, but I'm looking forward to seeing how it all turns out. And those cockpit shots do look amazing. I hope all the best for Luthier and the others at RRG, wherever they end up.

And thank all YOU guys for everything you're doing with this module. Especially honoring the backers in the first place! :worthy:

Well, does the real counterpart of the specific F-15C that's modeled in FC3 have those features you're looking for? If not then they shouldn't be simulated here either.

Heh, I don't think we're the ones suffering with 17-20 hour days. ;) The MiG looks so good! Can't wait to fly it!

Oh, :doh: disregard me then. :thumbup:

Did you miss Wags' posts about it in the Official Updates section of the forum? http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=113112 All those shots are in EDGE (though Nevada isn't yet integrated).

Wait, I somehow missed that announcement. Source? Because DO WANT. :D

I ... Uhm, ... wow! :surrender:

I'm curious, does the Su-35 have a capability to fire at targets based on what the RWR detects? Otherwise the Su-35 is still at a disadvantage: If both Su-35 and F-22 turn on their radars at a relatively large distance from each other, both will detect the other with their RWR. However, the Su-35 won't be able to track the F-22 on radar (due to the Raptor's stealth), while the F-22 will be able to track the Su-35. So the F-22 still has the advantage. So I'm not sure why the F-22 wouldn't be able to turn on its radar against the Su-35. [EDIT] Sniped by GG himself. :)
