Let's repeat it again for those at the back of the room who didn't hear it. NoBoDy Is FoRcInG yOu To BuY iT. Don't like it? Ignore it!

So, having a quick play around in www.thetruesize.com to see how the map would compare.. I took the main areas covered in Ugra's Syria map, and overlaid them on Germany to get an idea of how much of Germany the map could cover. Pretty much all of it fits within the same area covered by the Syria map! I know there will be more objects with the more dense town and the forest and such though, so may not be anywhere near this size. Interesting to think about though.. (yes I know I didn't include Turkey, but such a small area of Turkey is flyable)

Nobody is forcing you to use the modern stuff. Personally I find glass cockpits boring so I use modules like the F-4 mostly. All this whingeing about "balance" but the option is there to just... not use the shiny new toys. There was the F-100 shown in the video, likely to come out this year. That isn't exactly cutting edge

The Redfor aircraft that would be added are currently being used by both sides in an ongoing war. I'm not sure either party has the time or willingness to show documents and give access to aircraft...

It's the F-35A, there's a sub forum for it now with a Q & A

Yeah I know they are in dev, just want to see more of them really to see how far along they are. If it's just a quick flash we know they are a ways off.. but longer shots and deploying weapons.... that would be more positive. And seeing more of the "Germany" map would be good, only seen a border fence and some woodland so far

I'm just sitting here waiting to see the A-7, Tornado and the Germany map... I feel I may be a tad too optimistic

Oh I am just curious why everybody is counting down to 16:00 UTC? It could well be 20:00 UTC yet

BigNewy said evening? I haven't seen any mention today of an actual time.

Well yes, people do actually do that as stores offer refunds for being unhappy with a product.. Stung again by digital purchases......

Is there any chance of a refund to "return" the Afghan map if we don't like this style? It looks awful and I deeply regret wasting my money on a map I have barely used due to the terrible visuals.

That doesn't really provide any benefit if it's not classed as an enemy object, just pretty effects. Oh well, typical DCS. Thanks for the info

I thought it did for Syria, will have to rerun a mission at some point. If they don't, then why bother marking the warehouses as belonging to the faction?

The work you and all the other modders do to improve the sim is greatly appreciated. I've read his books, a few other harrier books too. Great insight into operating the bird. "How to be a fighter pilot" is another good harrier book.

That's fantastic! So, so much closer to the original. Very interested in following your work on this!

With the situation with Razbam and ED, I understand development of the modules is ceased. So are we stuck with the vacuum cleaner whine as the engine sounds? Cockpit sounds seem comparable to the real thing from what I've seen and heard on videos, but the external noise has always been abysmal. I've been near lots of flying Harriers over the years and the sound is visceral, raw. Ear shattering, especially in hover. In DCS the MB-339 has more roar than the harrier in external views....

Could you please share the template/paintkit you used to make these?

May be same for other airfields too, but after destroying four fuel silos/depots at Tarinkot, I was surprised to get nothing on BDA or post mission events. Airfield was marked as Red, my side Blue.

Ok no problem. I guessed there must be a reason! Thanks

I thought I was going mad because I can't find anybody else mentioning it. But why is only the chute retarded version of the MK-84 available on stations 2 & 8? On the other MK-84 compatible stations slick is available, but not here?

I can't find any bits that are "done" to fight over unless I only attack airbases, which gets repetitive.

Thank you for showing similar can be done. I think I need to play with the throttle differently when I try it, sounds like they push max throttle as they start the slide. All timing I guess

See vid from 3:35 - 3:55. Every time I try and pull hard "slides" through the sky at low speed like this I just get lots of warnings and a slow turn. What is the method for forcing the back of the plane around like that, and is it even modelled in DCS? I know this is a CF-18, not a Charlie, but given it's based on the older A model I would have thought it was possible.

I mean different versions would be nice, but as it is we don't even have the country the map is set in as a faction at all. Which is frankly bizarre.

And a lot (most) of the bridges are ridiculous, roads and railways going up huge steep ramps to the bridge deck
