Except in so far as they suddenly direct a jet of extremely high speed gas against all the forward surfaces of the aircraft, and can cause enough turbulence to flame-out the engines. That effect can throw the aircraft around in yaw and pitch, and in the other thread on the same subject there are videos demonstrating that. Other than that, no - no recoil.

If we don’t have internet connections to the rest of the world - that means none of you people are real, and My ISP has been scamming me for years. Damn ! It also means someone in New Zealand makes a good flight sim ‘cause we can download this thing called DCS...

We’re already under quarantine (both islands). That’s why we have no community transmission of Covid-19 Well that and the life extending off-world DNA serum that the aliens teleport to our hospitals ;-)

Hilarious So you think they're doing it to make a living, not as a hobby ? Who'd have thought ! You mean they're not finished ? Different thing. & if there are people waiting for the project to get to where systems can be integrated into the F-18 & F-16, why would they not do work that brings other modules forward ? Well something happened, they brought out major changes to the rendering & lighting with the intention of improving it, but got mixed results and are trying to get the improvements they expected. It's a shame it didn't work, and if I were using VR I might be irritated that their efforts haven't achieved what they (& users) hoped for, but to say they haven't done anything is to deny reality.

I don't understand what you're saying You start with 'ED never wanted to share this', but everything after that is prefaced by 'I would say'... Do you have figures to back your numbers up that you got from E.D., or is it all your opinion ?

Did you watch this through to the end ? Edit - somewhere there's a post from Chizh I think (from memory - someone at E.D.) saying firing rockets from a hover causes flame-outs.

According to the table posted by S.E.Bulba in the link below, there is a minimum launch speed for S-8 of 100 km/h... https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=4107373&postcount=12

This is not 'Reporting it", this is whining that the software you acknowledged wasn't finished when you downloaded it - isn't finished.

As Squiffy said, only the AI uses the SFM, and E.D. have said they intend to transition them off that...

So the table and the cropped text afterwards say that 1 round in the wing will be lethal, but it might take 3 to the fuselage of a Spit to bring it down.

If they're going to integrate a breathalyser into DCS world, it should be on the Forum & you should have to pass before starting a new thread...

Whereas to me everything about the 2020 version looks better & more realistic. I guess that's why they have menus in restaurants.

Give the all the same name as her car

Actually, it only has one control surface, so has to fly a spiral. If it really put in full control deflection, it would just fly a tight spiral with a ballistic average path. Logically, given the nature of the control surfaces and the flight path, if you're correct and there are 4 zones, I'd imagine they're concentric & give guidance about how hard to turn in to get back to the centre of the beam's scan zone.

As far as I have seen, X-Plane and MSFS look good where you have an add on, but are pretty cr*p in between landmarks by default, and where simulators do have good terrain at low level across the whole map, it tends to be more generically proceduraly generated & E.D. I think have said they want to keep as much correlation with actual terrain as possible Re the 'loading them all at the same time' Pretty sure that E.D. have said their engine won't deal with that many objects. Nothing to stop maps having slight overlaps and missions in a campaign moving from map to map though. Start in Georgia, advance down to an eastern Turkey or North Iran / Armenia / Azerbaijan map & through to the existing Syrian or Gulf maps. Or move between Normandy and the Channel maps between landing and taking off... (Edit: would cut the prospective market down though)

It's trick - & something of a vicious circle. OB may bring the cash-flow forward, but it does so at a discounted rate. The fact that the total revenue stream is reduced by discounting means that they have to make sure it arrives constantly to survive - meaning they have to do E.A. + discounts for E.A. ... which means the total is reduced. If modules weren't available to the public until they were ready for the OB, and were sold at full price, I think they'd make more money in total not less, but they would have to get through the 12 month income hole that would cause in the short term. Changing tack. I guess one solution to the OB whingers would be to have it that each time you download the O.B., you have to click an explicit acknowledgement that what you are downloading is a beta product, and you accept that it may still contain known bugs, and may introduce new bugs. People would still whine, but a simple screenshot would shut them up.

That's interesting. I just tried 2 machines in this room running Win 10, one Win 10 Enterprise, and one Win 10 Pro. My broadband is supposed to be 100 Mb/s, and when I did a speed test I repeatedly got a ping of 3ms & a DL speed of 97 Mbps, Both machines are running default LAN settings, which implies it's not throttled to 80 % of the available bandwidth by default...

Remember the BS1 trailer ? That had a pilot... 8r1sOakdMAU

Yak-40 ? That would melt a few minds...

:) LOL Perhaps it's true that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, but it is still an attempt at wit in response to posts that prompt - not hostility - but a disappointment at some people's attitudes...

I'm going to forward these to Toyota & see if they'll give me a free upgrade : My Corolla doesn't have the features their new models have, and I have to drive mine alongside their new ones all the time. I feel like they've just abandoned me...

The Japanese using German equipment ? Chill - it's a vaguely interesting bit of related trivia. Doesn't take away from anything that's been written about the Zero.
