Out of range for late feb/early march 2016 AM hours

nullNot being able to model Mavericks due to a lack of documentation has been a common theme for over a decade.

The entire platform of DCS live and dies on trust. Trust that EA products will be delivered, Trust that authenticity will be maintained. When a weapon, system, or item is removed as an early access deliverable, we could trust that while it was not great to see a feature we paid for be sidelined, at least it was in service to authenticity. We just spent months being told that the F-5 couldn't possibly have access to the AGM-65 because of a lack of documentation, despite clear indicators that the F-5 refresh would be a much more moving value proposition if ED would make a best guess on how the radar screen can be switched to MAV. But it made sense, DCS is a platform we trust not to make things up. The F-35 violates that trust both ways. I can't trust you will maintain the same authenticity that says the F-5 simply cannot have AGM-65s, which is fine except you'll continue to enforce that same requirement when you do not wish to do the work, even if we've purchased a module that advertised that feature on a store page.

I agree. As I said, the primary driver of EDs decision-making doesn't appear to be classification or documentation, but rather on if the product has been sold already or not. If you already have our money, then the requirements appear much tighter than if early access hasn't been opened yet.

It's been 5 years.

If DCS isn't that accurate, then the documentation requirement of items like towed decoys is moot. Yet we've been told for years that those early access features were held up by the need to be super accurate. It seems like that's not the case and the element that determines which is at play is if ED wants to do the work or not.

Will the ADFX-01 Morgan have the Multi-Purpose Burst Missile and Tactical Laser System at launch or can we expect that later in early access?

This makes a mockery of every time anyone was told a system was impossible to produce in DCS because there wasn't enough documentation.

They served into the 2000s. A lot of our modules work for early 2000s as well. I think they work fine with real world fits.

United States Navy: "We are a professional organization dedicated to completing the mission in an efficient and effective manner." Also USN: "lol lets see what else we can put on the sprues"

It wouldn't surprise me if there's not a whole lot of info since I bet USN wanted to keep the amounts and locations of TLAM-Ns a secret. How reliable is this? I have no idea, but the 1986 load is interesting since that's a lot of throw weight for the USN that is not represented in DCS. https://influenceofhistory.blogspot.com/2019/04/missile-loadouts-spruance-class.html

I wonder if the Spruance carried a bunch of TASM. That'd be a nasty surprise to a Soviet battlegroup.

Dynamic campaign was first mentioned in 2008. There are DCS users younger than the dynamic campaign development effort. Critically, AI is still extremely lackluster. The recent improvements to ground AI have essentially been tweaks to the RNG of spotting and accuracy. Aircraft AI will still happily fly into the ground with alarming regularity and there's a lack of creativity and good decision making with the AI. Enigma posited that dynamic campaigns won't matter much if the AI is lackluster compared to industry standard, and I agree. DCS isn't the platform to look for massive changes on; the development velocity isn't there. My advice is that if you're looking for an experience beyond a cockpit simulator, invest the time in multiplayer.

AIM-120B replacement?

A dual-arm Tico! Looks amazing.

Return of the Buns?

Yep, VSN F-106, good eye. Thought it'd be nice to see a pair of American deltas haha

Phenomenal work on the B-58! You're adding tons of value to DCS; thank you so much. I took a few minutes to relocated the position of the wingtip vortices. nullFeel free to use the code if you so wish: wing_tip_pos = {-7.80, -0.0, 8.50},

I frequently add some weight to the MiG-21Bis to calm the AI down, either by forcing it to keep fuel tanks or by adding cargo weight.

Outstanding!

That schema change to missiles really did in a lot of mod creators. I was hoping the last update would be good that did not come to pass.

Beautiful! Thank you for your efforts, you have once again moved DCS forward!

Thank you, CH! Your mods are always beautiful and add a lot to modern DCS settings. Unfortunately, I'm a bad person and cannot be trusted with such assets...

That cockpit looks gorgeous. Will the Alphajet be armed? It'd make a spectacular little light attacker.

Looks like a pretty early example.
