  1. LoL ...This thread is so reminiscent of so many threads on this forum. For years there have been requests : "Please can we have a third coalition ?" "Please can we have a third coalition ?" So the 3rd coalition appears (as mentioned - turn it on in the ME .lua), and the response is: "Please can we have 7 coalitions ?" When the Dora came out, we had: "We want an Fw 190 A-8 Anton ! " "We want an Fw 190 A-8 Anton ! " Fw 190 A-8 Anton appears, and the next thread is : ED Forums » English » DCS World War II » Western Europe 1944-1945 » So now that we have the Anton...... Will you tell us if you're working on a 109G or not? We have a third coalition, we can set up more complicated ROE & challenging battlefields. Yes, more in the future would be nice, but let's acknowledge that what we originally asked for has been provided, and lets see if we can make some interesting missions with that.
  2. Yep, that would be great - or what they really used in Chechnya as a group leader for the Ka-50 - a Ka-29 with a shkvall and integrated into the data-link system:

    No, I think SUBS17 has had an episode of revelation, during which he came to a personal belief about the world, and that he's genuinely sharing his beliefs with us. Like a lot of belief systems, his is probably serves as a heavy filter on the evidence in front of him & so the whole thing looks like the Truth from his point of view. It just looks pretty out there to people who haven't had a similar episode.

    Anyone see this ? Scientists searching the universe for aliens to conduct survey of the public for views on first contact https://www.theguardian.com/science/2019/jul/01/do-you-think-that-there-is-alien-life-beyond-earth-first-contact "Let's get ready for the day, because it might just happen on our watch..." ?

    :) Being an example of the proverbial stony ground (Mark 4), I appreciate the sense of purpose and comfort that Faith can bring. Unfortunately in this case your faith stands between you and the actual truth.
  6. We use HP Z840 workstations for modelling at work. 2 x 22 core Xeon 6152 processors (88 virtual cores), HP Z Turbo Drive PCIe SSD and 256 GB of RAM. We tested different configurations of RAM, and for our needs at least, found filling all the slots gave better performance for the same amount of RAM than filling half the slots.

    Explosions make planets in the same way your mother & father wrote your message for you. :) They make things that make things that eventually end up as planets. No-one who knows anything about modern scientific though ever said the earth was directly formed by an explosion. - Though all the elements heavier than about Lithium came from Super Novas - so we are all made from the stuff of stars :-) The thing about +/- 1 meter = ice age or desert - Sorry, that's not right. What do I believe ? There was a big bang - for no particular reason, and without a 'Because' in the sense that people tend to use that word. The way this universe (the only one we will ever know, though I accept there may be others in a mathematical sense) works, planets life and intelligence are simple a phenomena arising from the rules in the same way waves on the beach & clouds in the sky are. Consciousness is an evolutionary by product of, and an advantage in, the evolutionary process. (something that is aware of it's own existence will fight harder to survive than something that isn't, and so is more likely to persist over time). There isn't a purpose, and there isn't a reason for any of it. But humans evolved with a need for a purpose, so I chose to make my purpose making those close to me as happy as I can, and trying to make the world a better place for the people that live here now, and will follow us. I try to be kind and tolerant, but I often fail - as some of you will have seen here :-) One thing I try to do that I think is important to our children and those that will follow them is that I try to explain to people that capitalism is destroying the planet, and is a poor means of both husbanding and distributing the scarce resources of our planet. Capitalism isn't working, & we're drowning in our own waste while most of the planet suffers in poverty. As a species we need an alternative means of organisation for our resources - & I don't think waiting for the aliens (or angels) to reveal themselves is the best plan. We need to come up with something different now. Sometimes people understand, sometimes they don't. That's what I think.
  8. You should check to see if you have some sort of assist or simple mode turned on motoadve, because there are 13 pages of discussion regarding the Yak-52 flight characteristics here : https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=217349 started by AcroGimp: then added to by several other Yak & CJ6 pilots, and while there is some discussion around the rate of air use and recharging, an unrealistic landing rollout is not one of the issues ever mentioned (& as they thread includes an analysis of the take off and landing characteristics, you'd have thought it would if there were as big an issue as you're claiming.
  9. :) People have already told you why, & the explanation fits with observed reality. Apparently you just don't accept their explanation. If the explanation given fits with observed reality, and your expectations don't, perhaps you should re-visit your own understanding of the situation & see what factors you're leaving out. Edit - Remember that it's already been said that the highest point of the cone isn't actually at 90 degrees to the forward motion - there is some precession happening, there's just other forces at work too.
  10. l9HoeHACrck?t=73 the set time option doesn't seem to want to work. If you go to 1:11 & watch through to 1:18 you can actually see the effect happening. (one of those things landed at the heli-pad outside my work once - they are loud !)
  11. & this disadvantage can be largely overcome if you account for it in your manoeuvring (drop the collective to turn)

    Black Shark 3?

    I know. You posted a video of a laser equipped helicopter as a joke, & I was just continuing the joke. edit - Fri13 was getting all hot under the collar, I was suggesting that he should - like we were - get less serious about it & watch the video. As long as we're all on the same page - it's an imaginary addition, but ED are going to be fairly sensible in their approach (which means limiting the extras to things that might reasonably have appeared on the Ka-50, not every other - or any other - attack helicopter that was ever made), and do it as it might have been had it existed a the time, and no-one starts asking for out there extras (& yes, in that bag I'd put GOES-451 FLIR , R-73 & RWR) we can all relax and watch the Ka-50TE soar into the skies.

    Or maybe there is no God, no Angels, no Celestial beings, and the only 'purpose' anything has is derived from the meaning you yourself impose on the world to make your life more meaningful to you.
  14. Disabling all Mods should always be the first step - the one before deciding there's a bug.

    Black Shark 3?

    But you're still missing the point even when you post it yourself. "Doesn't exist anymore" means it did exist, and there's an attempt to simulate it here. What you want NEVER existed See the difference ? Did exist (real) Never existed (imaginary) As I've said, I'm disappointed that an imaginary version of the Ka-50 will appear in DCS, but that is what it is. I'll stop arguing against it. What I won't stop is pointing out to those that claim otherwise that it is imaginary in a way that the currently modelled version is not, and that has been explicitly rejected by E.D. in the past (which is why the Su-33 lost it's Moskit anti-ship capabilities - because there were only mock up photos of it, and no recorded evidence that the plane could ever launch it). What we're getting with the Ka-50ED is something even less attached to reality, but they have decided to break their own rules. Their game - their call... But let's not bring (to use a phrase of the moment) "Fake News" to the site and pretend there's some historical justification or that Ka-50ED is as 'real' as the version that was originally modelled. Then we can all go back to enjoying 3WA's videos of Laser weapon equipped helicopters....
  16. It is just a function of the dissimilar lift from the counter-rotating blades in the airflow, and that's why it becomes more problematic the faster you go. If you search the forum (or even look in the manual I think) you'll find lots of illustrations showing how the effect occurs. If you don't want blade-clash: 1/ don't manoeuvre while at high speed 2/ if you have to manoeuvre at high speed, unload the collective before you do it.

    Black Shark 3?

    LoL - yes, that's the one ;-) I think what you meant was: "Some good comments there, and looks like people realize that this thing was never produced IN QUANTITY and realize what Some people want is a MIGHT HAVE BEEN version, that was never produced." Obviously the one we have modelled was actually produced, because there are photos of it on the internet:

    Weather

    Because people don't add bad weather to their mission. All the arguments are on the weather page of the ME, including randomisation if that's what you want.

  20. But imagine how reassuring it would be with a heavy wind from the right side.

    Black Shark 3?

    Yep - god forbid they should want the simulated aircraft to resemble the aircraft that it's supposed to be simulating. I guess though that at the point where we ask for imaginary pylons and weapons, rivet counting does become a bit of a :lol: joke.. Hooray ! It's Grab-bag time again, and here we are asking for laser cannons again... Everyone go over to the Russian forum and wind them up. It's a Hilarious sport. Really gives them a feel for the level of discussion on the English boards.
  22. Or make it that the transfer doesn't happen until the 'new' pilot has synchronised their cyclic with the original pilot's +/- some user defined % Example - you agree to transfer control, the second pilot looks at where the in-game collective is, and gives his controller a little circle around that area. As the collective passes through the correct point control switches and you get a message that the transfer has happened I have a MSFFBII, but with a standard stick don't you have to return the stick to centre after trimming before it becomes live again ? - similar idea... Same for the collective - don't have it snap to the new position, have it only become an active control at the point where the new controller passes through the current setting. In essence though, all the suggestions show that it's not actually a simple thing to do well for an aircraft where you can plainly see the other pilot, and in multi-player, neither player (no player for 3 seats) should be able to reach all the controls at the same time. Maybe they should just implement a half-solution, but maybe they figure it makes more sense to take the time to implement a full solution (which is what Pilot-Mi8 said they are doing), than to do a half ars*ed job, then still have not only implementing the full solution ahead, but also squashing all the complaints that come from it being half ars*d, and any bugs, and then backing that code out before implementing the full solution.

    U.F.O.

    As someone said above - It is a shame that while statistically, we're probably not the only form of intelligent life by an astronomically large number, and given the age of the universe some of that horde will be technologically very advanced & there's the small chance that we've been noticed &/or visited, and that there are occurrences that really warrant serious investigation (This was part of a swarm of sightings at the time, and I remember watching the Skyhawks that were scrambled by Wellington air traffic control to investigate objects we were let out of school to watch, fly overhead only to have the objects just fly away at a rate they had no chance to follow https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12168568), people head off on quasi-religious flights of fancy whenever the subject comes up that make serious discussion very difficult.
  24. To me this says that the issues I'm talking about haven't actually been solved, just ignored. The RIO should only have access to the RIO's controls not the pilot's, and vice versa. The problem is greater than simply having synched switch movement (& lucky-Hendrix - from youtube clips from the RIO seat, I'm not convinced they've actually solved that completely anyway). & that is exactly the point I'm making. If you're going to properly implement MP co-piloting for helicopters, then switches can't be being activated by ghosts, and ghosts shouldn't be able to reach everything in the cockpit at the same time.
  25. I think you missed the point. I don't own that module, but from youtube RIO videos the F-14 pilot can't see the RIO, & the RIO can't see the pilot, and the stick and pedals don't seem to be tightly synched in MP.
