I took PilotMi8's comment as implying it's not about to arrive in the immediate future: MaKoUr : 2. Will it be possible to fly together on the Mi-24P in the network? PilotMi8 : 2. Sometime - I think yes 1. Планируем 2. Когда-то - думаю да 3. Планируем, как - пока не буду ничего писать. "По образу и подобию" - сомневаюсь, т.к. мы начали работать над системой задолго до выхода "джестера" Хитблюра, и у нас были свои взгляды. Не утверждаю, что будет лучше, но что будет -точно. Just in case you're interested - it's "to (or until / 'til) their heart's content" - meaning they do it until their heart is happy.

Then I'm sure you'll be happy enjoying the new cockpit of your existing module, and be here thanking E.D. for the free upgrade you received.

So you'll be arguing that your copy of the long awaited DCS.F-15C module will be free because you think the clickable cockpit should have been present on your FC3 F-15C ? ("Why should I pay extra for an upgrade when it's the same plane I've paid for already ? - All those extra clickable functions are just things they should have included in the first place !") The features the Ka-50 had when it was sold are the features that you paid for when you bought it, and any systems that might have been modelled but weren't - well they weren't included in the purchase price, so you haven't paid for them. Igla, FLIR, WLWS, filters on the Schval - none of those were listed as features of the module you've paid for, if they're added now to an upgrade - well you have never paid for them, why should you receive them for free ? (other than "I feel I deserve it !!!")

Please pass the community's condolences to his family & tell them his presence was valued here.

I stopped testing at Xmas, and I don't think I'm breaking any NDA's to say that I wouldn't let those pics dishearten you.

1/ "just let me enjoy the module without having to buy..." If you'd read carefully before posting, you'd have seen that you can continue to play the exact product you bought, but with upgraded 3D models and graphics, for free "without having to buy" anything. 2/ "let me enjoy the module without having to buy a gps, (...)" this gripe reflects the fact that you have "Less than 10 hours I would estimate" flight time in the Ka-50. The Fa-50 has had a GPS system installed from the very first release of BS1. So you bought a module that you didn't use enough to even realise what systems are installed, and because you didn't use it, it you feel it wasn't good value for money, & that somehow this is E.D.'s failing in the product itself, & now you're complaining that to continue using the module (that you don't use) you will have to pay for an upgrade (that it has already been stated will be free), and insisting that it's not fair to charge you for new features because you bought the original version ?

DCS: Mi-24P...

maybe you just don't have access to the statics it's intended for. (edit - like those animated deck crew to go with the carrier that have been in development for a very long time...)

LOL - yeah, I have one of the kitsets the RNZAF had made to celebrate the purchase that made it to the stores, then were re-called...

Maybe on before... FLIR images of F-22 at Farnborough: 58N6Plr17GU

My boy always liked the mod that gave you a Camaro with a rocket launcher to use against medieval ballistae & trebuchet. Different people respond to a challenge different ways.

More like "half-life-ware" (product half-life upgrade ware ? :-). You have an announced half life for the cockpit's appearance, but the fact that it didn't arrive before that date doesn't mean it won't turn up, but also doesn't mean that it's any more likely tomorrow than the day after it was announced. On average, half of half-life-ware will appear at or before the initially announced date, 3/4 of it will be out by twice the expected wait, and in the end it will all turn up...

Yes, that was why I said "... it is being worked on (& maybe in testing ?) "

I'd rather see an AI Lun - which might make for some interesting missions - flying below radar detection at 7m, launching a salvo of 6 Moskit missiles...

Ekranoplan !!!

It was in a newsletter a while ago that it is being worked on (& maybe in testing ?)

Took about 3 minutes. Mi-8 cabin temperature gauge is argument 63 temp appears to be 100 * argument value outside of -30 to 30, so -60 is -0.6 -30 is -0.3 0 is 0 20 is 0.2 maybe the centre is a bit non-linear I just used it to trigger an "it's cold" message when it was 10 degrees and "it's not cold" at 30

I haven't tried it for a gauge, but the door in the Ka-50 is a cockpit animation like the gauges, and I once set a trigger to have a fuel truck drive off 5 seconds after the door shut, so the value of those arguments is available for triggers. Try going to the model viewer, opening the Mi-8 cockpit and trying the arguments until you find the temp gauge (or there's a list in a .lua, but I can't remember which one). Run through the range of the argument until you get the temp you want, then set a trigger for "cockpit argument in range"

& I disagree 100% These threads pop up from time to time... It seems to me a few people could try thinking beyond their own personal position, and about the lives other people live. I'm using this quote because it's right here, but the same points have been made many times by many people, so when I say 'You' I mean people holding this position generally, not JumpinK exclusively... How about this: Entertainment & relaxation. Some people don't want to pretend that they're fighter pilots, they just want to experience what it would be like to control an aircraft in flight. Over the years I've read posts from a member on these forums that's been posting for more than a decade, and at least until recently they'd never flown online (& the reality is that as loud as the MP community is, they are a small portion of the actual player-base & are vastly outnumbered by SP players) or used the SIM for combat. they just flew FC3 aircraft in free flight (& I get the impression often air start) - yet they get enough enjoyment from that to stay with DCS for the long haul. Now by your reasoning, they, and those SP players like them should either abandon DCS completely, or stick to the Yak & leave anything with complicated systems (So any jet fighter) to those with the time to learn them. Yes ? PFM + SSM = an insult to 'hard core simmers' ? That's fine if you're single & childless, but if your free time after working 60 hours a week and looking after the kids is snatching an hour a week if you're lucky ? There's no way you're going to have time to master and stay current on the systems & skills needed to 'fly' the hornet module effectively - & you're saying that person isn't showing enough commitment for them to be worthy of flying DCS ? DCS: Working class single parents need not apply :) ? Nor should well coordinated people with dyslexia ? Or people with physical disabilities who despite being quite capable of learning and mastering all the systems & engine management of the P-51 in flight and combat, will never be able to take off and land a tail-dragger without rudder assist on or top up the F/A-18C from a tanker ? & honestly - if there really is no other reason for people using assist beyond just not being motivated enough to spend a couple of days/weeks/months getting proficient with the systems before they blow sh*t up, what I really don't understand is - if they're doing it in single player, or an MP server that you're not invited to, how is it any skin off your nose at all? You have no way of actually knowing it's even happening, it just offends you that it's happening in your imagination. Your argument essentially boils down to "I want to be able to say I'm part of a small group that have been able to devote the time to mastering these systems, and if some people can use the systems in easy mode, people might think I do too & not recognise the effort I've put in. DCS will become a game for the masses !" If it were to become a game of the masses - with scalable difficulty all the way from full simulation to casual gaming, the most probable outcome - which doesn't seem like such a bad thing to me - is that E.D. will stay in business & develop new modules & maps, and attract new developers. & that's a problem because ???

I have them and don't use a curve...
