I'm a bit late to the party, but why is all the talk only referencing US birds? What do other nations strap to the Mudhens? I can't see export customers limiting themselves to what the US do, as the US have more aircraft types to spread roles and missions across. Do the Koreans, Qataris, Saudis, Israelis not use any AG missiles on them?

Is there any chance this could be a pdf map/maps so we can recreate a small area ourselves in mission editor, rather than having all sites set up? Will help reduce asset load for missions. Thank you!

I'm not against options and never said that. I just don't like all the people assuming the Sinai map was purchased by everybody just to re-enact a historic event, some of us bought it because it is a geographically interesting place. Of all the methods of selecting wartime lights or not, date filter is the worst as it forces a certain timeframe. THAT is what I said I was against.

That only works if you are replicating historic events. The majority of DCS players aren't doing that though, they are putting down red and blue units and hitting Fly. Or like me, creating future or alternate scenarios.

I already have the CAP which has some great ships for use as insurgents. That Iranian one is exactly what I was looking for, no idea how I missed it. Thank you!

I want to start by thanking all the amazing modders on here, you really help bring DCS to life! While creating scenario missions lately, I realised we don't have any improvised warships modded, a la Atlantic Conveyor. I think having some hastily cobbled flat tops would give lots of freedom and interest for helicopter/AV-8 missions, and give more naval air options for factions without a carrier/helicopter carrier. Any country can stick metal sheets/bolt cannons on a container deck! If I'm being an idiot please let me know, I just can't get rid of the idea, but don't have the modding knowledge to make it...

Hi, I've noticed that very few parking spaces which should be able to support transport aircraft of C-130 size to C-17, size allow you to select them for the airframes in mission editor? For example the row of open spaces in Fayed, and the solo spot to the north of the same airfield. Placing static aircraft there shows plenty of space between wingtips (close, but no closer than observed in real life at times). Can this be amended please as spaces for heavies are very limited within Egypt as a result, with pretty much only Cairo being available if you want more then 5 in a mission. Thanks

I don't understand the need for a historical version. We barely have any era correct aircraft, even less ground vehicles and naval assets. I understand people want to recreate the Sinai wars, but what people are asking for is the Devs to take more time from polishing and adding to an incredible product (I would say best map so far no question), to fill a small niche that a handful of people want. I agree with adding Sharm and King Hussein however, as modern-day they are still heavily used airports. Most of the aircraft modules we have are missing real-life features, are export versions, or complete Frankensteins (I love you Jeff, but yeah..), and same with the maps too. Why this obsession with having very specific eras on maps that most of us will be flying over at 20k feet? So a few buildings might be out of place? 90% of all buildings in DCS are generic copy//paste anyways, so we already have to see past imperfection. The fact that in less than a year from development being made public, we had people flying on the map is astounding. But all that seems to be in this forum is people asking for more.

Ah right ok then. To be honest I just wanted to put existing JF-17 weapons on more pylons on the jet to give more loadout options. Not interested in adding new weapons to anything and I don't do MP so IC isn't an issue. I assume to add to a pylon station I just copy the line from another pylon as I would on the Skyhawk?

I may have missed something obvious previously but... since when have we been able to modify official module loadouts? Done it with mods like the A-4e, but thought modules were encrypted? Does this mean I can put my beloved LD-10 on other pylons if I edit??

Is this the open beta patch? No new liveries in the latest stable patch.

Legend! Thank you! That may be the most archaic bit of software I've used for ages. It works though!

Hi, unable to extract the file linked on the first page (not the GIMP one). Tried downloading several times and always get "unable to open archive". Thanks

Zip files on the split downloads are corrupted? Tried three times with each and can't unzip them with 7zip, winzip or winrar?
