Or wrap some random triggers around them so they turn on & off every few seconds - that way they last longer and look more like they don't think they're operating in God Mode

Gravity works because of gravity fields ? & fish are fish because of their fishiness... True. ...& we don't know why a collapsing magnetic field generates an electrical field at 90 degrees to the magnetic field, or why a collapsing electric field generates a magnetic field at 90 degrees to the electric field But we know that they do - through simple observation. The same approach proves mass causes a gravitational field. The metaphysics of why are not sciences questions to answer. Science might give a theory that derives causation for all the various forces (some grand unified theory), but it won't answer the "Why", only bump it up (down?) a layer. My personal view is the answer to "why?" doesn't exist. Regardless, science has brought us significant understanding of the mechanics of the universe, and while I don't want to be a killjoy - they prove the universe is very old, the earth is round, orbits the sun (which is not hollow, and is not a catalytic reactor), and is part of a larger galaxy. Almost all of the evidence can be reproduced by the average person if they're inclined to try...

Maybe they eat their lunch with their gloves on :)

I'd like to see FC3 aircraft spawn able to spawn on the ground - it would be useful way beyond MP missions. Worth remembering though: Way more people play SP than MP. If you fix something for SP, you fix it for MP as well, so everyone benefits. If you fix something for MP (& this isn't actually a 'fix' it's a feature request), only a small % of the community benefit. Where should the effort go ?

No. The reason the 'blinking' was added wasn't long range F-15 TWS shots, it's that ECM blinking also defeats HOJ shots, & the problem exists as much for Su-27 pilots as for F-15 pilots. Blinking turns the ECM as implemented into a 100% effective shield against radar guided missiles until 'burn-through', which wasn't (& shouldn't be) the intended behaviour. Blinking the ECM as modelled in DCS makes BVR engagements impossible. It was removed to eliminate an exploit that was crippling MP gameplay for both sides. If your problem is that the F-14 now has this unrealistic effect, the more sensible thing would be to work to have that removed than have something that effectively removes BVR from the game applied across all aircraft. Maybe - just maybe, the process should be : Research the issue, then if there isn't a reasonable explanation, move on to conspiracy theories. not jump straight to conspiracy theories...

Interesting... The carrier's looking good, and the features shown have been requested by the community for years, but almost all the comments are negative and all from MP players who are a small minority of players - & most of the people that purchase the module will never face those issues even if they weren't to get fixed.

Ahh, but that wasn't gravity, that was "Reverse Buoyancy". (which, of course, just bumps the question of why buoyant things float down the road - so the 'anti-gravs' wont have to say the answer, the answer being "Gravity" :-) )

For me: sea level, 20 degrees @ 28800 lb - pretty consistently 1.13km (3,700 ft)

To show just how underwhelming they are, you should set weapons and fuel to unlimited, and see how many bombs you have to drop to actually destroy the dam. Just don't stop till it's broken...

Not exactly disagreeing, but I guess it depends how loosely you define 'transmission systems' & what you're using to do the 'blowing up'. You can set up temporary transmission lines in a couple of days: August 1975 – A strong wind storm caused a string of seven transmission towers to collapse [on the HVDC link from the NI to the SI] and damage the line. The link took five days to repair. There are other bit's of equipment (which I won't mention now) that would be susceptible to small explosions that could take 6 months to a year to replace - even in peace time. The reality is though, that if you dropped a single penetrating bomb on each unit in the powerhouse, the station would be out for years even though the dam might be structurally intact & the storage still controlled (after dropping the head-gates). Dartmouth PowerStation Australia: "The turbine casing and concrete machine block surrounding it were destroyed in 1990 when two steel beams entered the turbine. The station was subsequently re-built and re-commissioned in 1993."

& apparently every other scientist there ever was since the enlightenment....

I wondered how long it would take you two to realises you were furiously agreeing :)

You've misread/misunderstood his post. Read the quote he included

I'd rather we had inscrutable dams... Seriously though - we wouldn't need to have inundation, just treat them like any other static object and at the point they've accumulated enough damage to be 'destroyed' replace the initial model with a model with nick out the top & a crack in it with a bit of river running down the side from the crack representing water seeping through... That lets you determine the damage visually, & set its destruction as an event for evaluating mission success (triggers or scripts).

+ why would you make free map number 2 butt hard up against (overlap ?) the existing free map ? Surely you want to give the punter some variety.

I'm as keen on a good conspiracy theory as the next person, but if you'd applied a bit more of that critical thinking to your own theory - that the free carrier, that has already had multiple feature added to it for free to allow better interaction with the F/A-18C is somehow being nerfed to bump up sales because it's not getting all the features of the pay-ware module - you'd probably have not bothered with the post.

What ? surely he has a good point ? Why should the fact that developing new features costs money, and E.D. are trying to run a business stop them from taking the time to add all the new features of the pay-ware carrier module to the existing code of the free carrier ? It's just not fair that the tired old 'running a business' excuse should stop people that don't want to pay for the new carrier module getting all the features that the people who do buy the module get !!!

Works fine if you un-comment it - White coalition is neutral

I'm pretty sure (but I could be wrong) that the force of a wind on a body (wind resistance) varies with the cube of the velocity. Which is why aircrafts' 'cruise' velocity isn't the same as it's maximum speed. If I am right, then by racing everywhere at 300km/h rather than 250km/h you're increasing the wind resistance by 70% & so - as well as constantly risking blade clash - significantly reducing the range available from your fuel or the loiter time when you get where you're going.

… yeah, you get that. Th guys flying South on the original flight and then the pilots & reporters going down to interview them who were on the flight that made the recording - maybe 40 to 50 years old at the time - would make them between 80 and 90 years old now... That stuff at the beginning of the video you posted about the UFO looking like an iron bar - what looks like that in the film is just camera shake. At the time it was described as an orb / glowing ball that flew alongside / ahead of / behind the aircraft, and you can see that the only time it looks like a 'bar' is while there's camera jitter happening. The commentator must never have used a camera - the changing size and brightness are just the object going into and out of focus (big, blurry and dim, small sharp and bright), and the 'Special Frame" where the object dances & leaves a squiggle - here's a couple of photo's I took: One of one of the planets & it's moons (forget which one), and a frame I took of the same scene where I slipped & moved the camera around (& one of some mosquitos flying through the frame at the beach, 'cause it's pretty ambiguous and I like the sine waves their wings made)

& a simulation of a pushbike would be harder to control on a PC than IRL too.

A few weeks after the Kaikoura objects I referred to earlier, I was at school & we were let out of class to stand in the playground and watch a couple of glowing objects that were flying over the valley our city sat in (the city is still there - I just don't live there any more :-). Apparently they were seen by Wellington ATC's radar. As we watched they moved over the city, and then from the North a flight of skyhawks appeared over the hills, as they arrived the objects flew off in the opposite direction & left the skyhawks behind...
