"The MWS is visible but still can't find any pictures of it at all with a third pylon or Iglas." Because - as has been pointed out multiple times, & acknowledged by E.D., the Ka-50 was never actually fielded with Igla or a 3rd pylon - it's a what if exercise of imagination. The reasoning often used runs like 'The Mossie NF had a radar and launchers for rockets- wouldn't it be great if it was upgraded to an N/APQ-153 & had some sidewinders fitted ??? You know it would have happened if they hadn't retired the aircraft !!!"

There's a photo with part of the receiver mechanism removed showing the internals further up the page

It's a gast gun:

I didn't follow the link - Does it say how many hours were flown in each year ? Presumably it's easier to keep an aircraft 'mission capable' if it is serviced then not used. Interesting that in 2019 the only fighter with a lower mission capability rate was the F-22 & the difference between the F-35 & the rest was 5 times the difference between the rest of the teen series, then suddenly the F-35 has a 23 % increase in mission capability rate & jumps to having the highest rate in the fleet. I suspect it's not just 'ironing the bugs out'

The degree of flash is probably also related to what camera is used. Most cameras are more sensitive to infra-red than the human eye, but some have better filters to compensate for that. If you think about what setting fire to brandy in a pan on a cooking show video looks like (huge red bloom) compared to doing it in real life (small blue flame) you'll get what I mean.

Someone really should change the name of the thread - it's an issue with the cockpit model and 'aircraft' model not meshing correctly. A texture bug should have been fixed, a model bug is easier to accept sitting till there's a major rebuild.

Maybe they just had some issues like they do with the Su-25 - the cockpit's good, the outside model's good, but the outside model intrudes into the cockpit (& looks like an untextured surface). They've said the only way to fix that is to rebuild the external model (or I guess the cockpit, but that would presumably be a bigger job). If they discovered during testing that the two weren't meshing correctly, they might have had to re-do the whole model to fix the issue.

You think when the Wellington fault goes the whole world’s economy will tank and an F-35 will be $35 ?

The McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) T-45 Goshawk is a highly modified version of the British BAE Systems Hawk land-based training jet aircraft. Manufactured by McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) and British Aerospace (now BAE Systems), the T-45 is used by the United States Navy as an aircraft carrier-capable trainer.

just hot gas escaping the breech - watch any video of a Tunguska (which is a GsH-30-2 ) and you'll see the same...

Most of their customers are SP. It would be an own goal if it's not usable for SP players, so it will be usable for SP players. They have the technology for that in a much more developed state than the multi-crew multiplayer, can's see any reason they wouldn't apply it.... It's a computer program - if they chose to make the radios work like FC3 at first, they can, then upgrade them as they finish systems (oboe ?).

Can't you cycle through what level of messages you receive (everything, less, only your own flight)

What happens if you set yourself up starting at a FARP that has had the total amount of missiles available set to 2 in the resource manager ? Doesn't it just give you what it's got then stop ? Not ideal, but maybe a workaround if you want one.

There used to be blood in the Ka-50 cockpit if the pilot got hit, but it was removed. I always assumed as a ratings thing - perhaps the classifications are a bit more relaxed now.

If they can get a few area maps that's detailed areas overlap they'd have the scope to have a campaign move across those maps - maybe tie limited licenses for terrains into a campaign license...

Wow - I've been living here for years, and I never knew that Wellington is the organised crime capital of the world, and that when I've walked past the SIS headquarters - while they appeared to be the inconsequential offices holding the junior party of the 5 eyes club - I was actually passing the headquarters of the most sophisticated covert ops body ever to exist, capable of hiding their actions from the combined security services of the USA, Britain, Canada and Australia (though Australia - maybe... Just as well I'm posting this from NZ - I think you can go to jail now in Australia for suggesting that Australia's secret service ever make mistakes) Makes sense though - ever since we cancelled the planned purchase of F-16s and ended up with an air force without fast jets, I'm sure the military have been plotting and conniving in their basements trying to find a way to scrape up enough money to buy anything that can top M1. Strange though - as a 5 eyes partner we'd probably have had access to the F-35 if we'd asked. It might have made more sense to turn that criminal master-mindry towards getting a discount and making enough money in other ways to be able to afford to buy them.

Going Batshit ? They have been batshit for the last 4 years... If you don't believe there is a law, maybe ask "Q" why E.D. won't produce the module or give in to your demands for changes to the skhval modelling...

Try swapping axis in ffb tune

It must be possible to do something like allowing the first on / off to be instantaneous, but adding more lag the more frequently it's switched back & forth over a rolling timeframe (the limit of that being you can only turn it on once every 15 seconds and can only turn it off once every 15 seconds, but they'll be instant). The exploit of adding a macro to have the ECM switch on and off rapidly & so denying both HOJ & STT lock while appearing to have ECM on constantly was enough of a PITA & caused enough grief online to get E.D. to implement the delay, but until the whole ECM modelling is upgraded a better solution should be found...

@ 300 km/h 83.3m/sec, so you'd have to lead a bit. On the other hand, it's not going to change course a lot in a second, so you only have to lead the current course.

... & on the subject of the all-conquering F-16 - it was less capable than the MiG-29 variants it faced when they were fielded, and it wouldn't have won the competition to be the NATO fighter if the US hadn't put so much pressure on Europe. It is a good plane now, but with 46 years of development time, and the amount of money that's been throw at it, they could have started with a Cessna Caravan and still had a good multi-role aircraft by now...

I played lock-on, moved to FC with the Su-25T (though I prefer the A), and was a closed tester for E.D. from before the Ka-50 was released until after the F/A-18C was in open beta. I have so little interest in flying US aircraft I didn't know how how to read the F-15 radar till I had to learn the F-18 for testing. I enjoyed testing the Huey, but the Mi-8 is a more interesting module. Mostly I now fly the Su-25A (instant buy if they do a DCS module), the Mi-8, the Ka-50 and the Su-27 (in that order) I get the F-18 out to practice traps, but find the US fixed wing aircraft more sterile to fly than the Su-25A or the Su-27. Ironically, given the primary complaint of many against the FC3 aircraft was the need to memorise key combinations, there's more need to memorise keystrokes (hat-switch toggles anyway) in the computerised modern aircraft than there was in the FC3 aircraft. I have zero (0.00) interest in the F-16. I'll buy the Mi-24 as soon as possible, I doubt that I'll buy the AH-64. I'll buy the Mossie, as that is a truly iconic aircraft. If E.D. can sort out the GCI I'll buy the MiG-29, and Su-27 if they ever do that. Eurofighter's a nice & capable aircraft, but standoff button pushing isn't all that moving...

LOL Was the OP a prayer to the E.D. Gods or a very long exercise in creative visualisation (wishful thinking)? "I love American aircraft, I want the world to bow down in front of the alter of magnificent American aircraft ! I only want E.D. to make US aircraft." X 1000 If I say often enough and loud enough and long enough that Red aircraft are impossible, no one wants them and no one will buy them, maybe I can make it come true.

They could make it that it comes on immediately, but you can only turn it on once in any 15 second period (to stop blinking)
