Do the WWII assets come with the Normandy map? ...or, are they part of DCS core?

How much disk space will this last update use up? I have 159 GB free and it says that is not enough.

I don't think anyone is defending anyone. We are just having a conversation (with differing viewpoints).

AAA Quality is subjective. We all should have known going into this that DCS World is not a complete and polished product. It never has been and never will be. ED is constantly updating and modifying the only quasi-milsim/flight simulator game out there. There are a ton of ancillary products associated with DCS development from software and community groups to hardware and simpit/VR type products directly impacted by the future of DCS World and the entire community. As far as the cost and the LOE put into product development, I would agree that some modules maybe more pricey than I think they should be. But, the whole reason ED is business is to make a profit as well as a quality product. They honestly will not have one with out the other. If the products were that bad, they would have been out of business by now. As for me, I have chose not to purchase any more full fidelity modules solely because I can not justify the cost compared to the effort that I have to put into learning them to enjoy them. That has nothing to with ED module development.

It may also be the skill level that they are set to. IDK, you are correct. In theory, they should see everything since they are AI.

Thanks BigNewy! Its been fixed.

Agree 100% Could we possibly get a new banner? How about this one? LOL!

Not all aircraft have an autostart feature and you may want to optimize your own. Yes.

No. Just setup a VA command to use a series of keybinds or other already existing commands. You have to do a few things first, like setting up keybinds that may not have been there to start with. What I do after that is go through the (successful) start up sequence and document each step (i.e. wait times and flipping switches), then go into VA and create a new entry for "Auto Start" or "Engine(s) Start", or something like that using what I just documented and then test it out. Be careful not to use too many combos with ALT and CTRL. For instance, if you have a combo that requires a toggle like Nosewheel Steering and you have to hold that combo down until you release, if you use other keys while toggling with ALT/CTRL you will introduce other functions that will most likely cause problems. This method works best with Jets and Rotorwing aircraft. Prop aircraft take a little more finesse to start up.

I set up a Voice Attack "Auto Start" command to speed things up. This works most of the time and I can do other tasks while that is running.

Understood. So, the way I was looking at it was ED would still offer the current free Caucasus map. But then an upgraded version for those willing to pay for it. I mean, look at Afghanistan and how they are breaking that up for deployment (and Syria/Sinai). Yes you are right, it obviously not "free money". Everything costs something. I just thought it would be a great idea since everyone who flies in DCS knows the Caucasus like the back of our hands. LOL!

Everything. Like Syria, Normandy, South Atlantic, etc... Pretty sure Kola is still in the oven. LOL! Did I stir things up? Look at the numbers ED. This could be a profitable endeavor.

If ED chose to update the Caucasus Terrain by using a third party like Orbx or Ugra, how much would you pay for it?

Oh, I see. Sorry. Yes, to hover you most likely need moderate and constant left pedal. When trimmed well you do not need significant rudder authority while in forward flight. In general, I suck at hovering in the OH-6a. I still need lots of practice. Hovering is very demanding of your skills with this helicopter.

That's how I took it. I haven't experienced a need for constant rudder/pedal input. I'll check my settings and share them when I get off work.

I haven't experienced a need for constant rudder input.

Could you possibly give us the locations [coordinates] of the images above?

Radio Problems... I was having trouble on the "In Country" multiplayer server last night while communicating with SRS in the Loach. I could communicate just fine outside the aircraft, but when I jumped in to fly I lost all comms even with all radios on and apparently functioning. Have you heard anything regarding this? Or, do you think it may be server specific?
