  1. It says once the early access is finished, not the final release. As they're doing the 'final touches' on the EA P-47 now, I guess that will be before 2025. I read it as once the P-47 is in EA (& the inevitable random-unreproducible-unless-you-have-a-very-unusual-setup show stoppers are patched), the Mi-24P takes main focus.
  2. Yes, the nearest you can get to BFM if they're in the same coalition as you is to set them to follow you at a close distance, then spend your time trying to get on their tail.
  3. IRL ? yes, In DCS - you get what you ask for. You're setting the scale (the maximum velocity in any direction) of the turbulence in f/s m/s depending on your ME setting. What's added is somewhere between turbulence and increased 'gustiness' of the wind. '10' gets you turbulence with a maximum velocity of +/- 1 f/s or m/s How much to add depends on what you're trying to replicate. (if you set 0 wind, and the maximum turbulence, then watch the AoA vanes on the front of the Ka-50,you can see what the gusts are doing...) edit - or set it to max & land on the carrier :)
  4. Not useful for anything other than simulating the actual dynamics of flight - I think for most flights from take off to landing WWII fighters will spend more time during combat in situations where wake effects have the potential to be a significant factor than your average MiG-15 player will spend in ground effect during takeoff and landing.
  5. That's a ridiculous title - It's my favourite map... Even accepting you believe (as you stated in the other thread you started to talk about exactly the same thing) it "does not work with combined arms" - that makes more sense as a title for your new thread...
  6. mission start set flag_1 between 1 and 10 group_1 in zone 1 and pilot_1 altitude < 3000m set flag_2 Flag_2 = true and Flag_1 < 3 Activate Su-27 Flag_2 = true and Flag_1 > 2 Activate MiG-31 80% chance of MiG-31, 20% chance of Su-27 or, a bit different: mission start set flag_1 between 1 and 10 group_1 in zone 1 and pilot_1 altitude < 3000m or group_2 in zone 1 and Pilot_1 altitude < 5000m set flag_2 Flag_2 = true and Flag_1 < 3 Activate Su-27 Flag_2 = true and Flag_1 > 2 Activate MiG-31 or mission start set flag1 0 or 1 set flag2 0 or 1 flag1 = 0 and flag2 = 0, ScenarioFlag1 = true flag1 = 0 and flag2 = 1, ScenarioFlag2 = true flag1 = 1 and flag2 = 0, ScenarioFlag3 = true flag1 = 1 and flag2 = 1, ScenarioFlag4 = true Chosen event = true and ScenarioFlag1 = true, Do "A" Chosen event = true and ScenarioFlag2 = true, Do "B" Chosen event = true and ScenarioFlag3 = true, Do "C" Chosen event = true and ScenarioFlag4 = true, Do "D" Other event = true and ScenarioFlag2 = true, Activate unit Y
  7. Do you need someone to show you how to set what you want up ?
  8. Feature already exists. Use the "OR" button to put an 'or' between conditions.
  9. Same - All USB devices are discoverable by the running game if you just unplug them and re-plug them in. If it's not doing that for you it would appear to be a system specific problem rather than a missing feature in the game. Maybe log a bug ?
  10. Wake Turbulence encounter - POV - Flying sjifp5oi6dE
  11. Sadly, it makes me think DCS.USAF: F-18,(117 falls out),F-16,F-15… (F-14 sitting half done for the future...) E.D. may as well get as much value for money / as many modules as possible from the code base they've developed for US aircraft.
  12. So by your reasoning, if I merge things that really exist together, what I get can't be 'fantasy', because all the components are real ? So if I model my unicorn's horn after a Narwhal's tusk (a single horn which really exists on a mammal), and it's body after a horse (which really exists & is a mammal), my unicorn isn't a fantasy animal ?
  13. Interesting:
  14. Acting navy secretary called the ship’s ousted captain “too naive or too stupid” to be in command. But there was no combat. Only embarrassment. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/apr/06/navy-coronavirus-ship-theodore-roosevelt-thomas-modly
  15. Yeah, I do ! That was the one where public health officials went "phew, we dodged a bullet that time, we better get prepared because next time we might not be so lucky" All joking aside, if you can't see the difference between where the world got to with swine flu and the POtuS standing up and saying "If I can keep deaths to around 100,000 over the next few weeks, I'll give myself 10/10", & somehow feel this is all a media beat-up, you need to change your information sources. We'll skip over the bit where you suggest that old people should be allowed to die to protect the economy (How old are you ? That's a very generous offer you're making if you're over 60) There will be a recession. 10,000,000 filed for unemployment in the US in the last 2 weeks. This week will be worse, and next week worse than that. I don't know how many businesses will go under, but it will be a lot. Even if the US somehow managed to stop the business failures and get everybody back to work in a fortnight, the rest of the world isn't going to be, and the supply lines for US industry and retail often trace back fairly quickly to something coming in from overseas. No inputs, no outputs... The 1% don't care - only this morning there was someone on the TV saying this is a great time to buy in the stock market for the long haul, because values are down but will recover in a couple of years so there's some great bargains to be had. Economic collapses are great for those with enough resources behind them to take advantage of the troubles others find themselves in. It's what happens to the other 99% that we have to worry about, and for us it's not a question of 'Is there going to be a recession ?' the question is, 'How are we going to deal with the recession?' Will we come together, or let the people that profit off our misfortunes goad us into tearing each other apart ?
  16. Never had any doubt
  17. It's tricky. I agree with your sentiment, & I hope for and wish everyone on the forum regardless of race, religion, country of origin or political affiliation, their families, friends and their country-folk, the best outcome possible, but the reality is that how this turns out will be largely about how politicians deal with it, not the intensity of people's prayers, good wishes, or the advice of scientists. The last time the world's economy tanked like this Fascism and WWII grew out of the dislocation and anger that the political solutions to the WWI and the great depression generated. What's that saying ? "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men should do nothing." If we don't learn from the lessons of the past, we will be destined to repeat its mistakes. You can swap out the groups for whoever is locally appropriate, but remember the sentiment of:
  18. No, it's because they are better engines (to do with superheating the fuel before injection into the combustion chamber). The stopping of the use of Russian engines has everything to do with political deal making, as Congress passed a bill to force NASA to transition to 'anything but Russian' motors.
  19. That could just be because it's a pre-organised meeting where the same authority is in charge of the configuration of all the aircraft, and the ground crew make sure it doesn't ? Or because where they set more than 1 aircraft to the same configuration, and they do see this happen, they expect it to & so there's no point in reporting it... Or any number of other explanations that aren't 'someone made it up'.
  20. Oh, and about this: I solemnly promise that on the day that both the people of the US, and the US Government, stop commenting on the actions and morality of people outside their borders, I will stop commenting on the actions and morality of those within the US borders.
  21. Dude, As others have noted, you seem to have quoted me without reading what I said. I don't blame Trump for the Pandemic. I blame him for letting his greed and ego drive him to take a hugely important job that he's obviously incapable of doing. I blame him for delaying the US's response to a global pandemic because he thought propping up the stock market's confidence would improve his re-election chances, and to him was more important than saving American lives. Surely even his most ardent supporters must have noticed that while the disease was spreading like deadly wildfire overseas, he was saying that US numbers were going down, that it was no worse than the flu, and that it would disappear like a miracle by Spring ? It is obvious to the rest of the world that he has mismanaged every aspect of the US's response, and even from the other side of the world, the 10's of thousands - it may yet be hundreds of thousands - of needless American deaths is a tragedy no-one should ignore. His callous attempts to score political points by trying to imply that somehow if only he'd been allowed to build his non-sensical wall or somehow keep 'foreigners' out everything might somehow have been different is as ridiculous as his current claim that if he can keep US deaths down to somewhere around 100,000, he'll have done a 10/10 job. It's classic Trumpian 'blame someone else'ism. Who could have seen it coming if a highly stable genius couldn't ? Maybe his predecessor, who set up a department to respond to pandemics, only to have Trump disband it because it had been set up by Obama, and the man wrecks anything with Obama's name like a jealous stepchild wrecking their stepbrothers toys. I am angry at his stupidity, but more I am sad at the damage he does, and the lives he will waste.
  22. Relieving him of his command because he put his crews' lives above towing the political line that all is well with the Covid-19 response is just despicable.
  23. Whereas I bought it for the Su-27, grew to love the Su-25, and never touched the A-10 till we started testing the A-10C, or the F-15 until we tested the PFM.
