WTF?

No, not true. Any official studio can get a license and produce a module that already or not exist as free mod. Quality wise, people will almost always pick the best quality product, which is also a big incentive for studios to put their efforts into making its paid version, a lot better. Not difficult really for a professional team to beat a freetimer modder at this. Sorry. If there is no A-4 paid version for you up to today, it's NOT because there is a free mod, it's simply because no studio picked it up yet. One thing about mods is that they don't develop new tech. They rely exclusively on existing core features, so they can never be better, quality wise, then SDK holders'. Even when modders reached a level of quality comparable to official products, the case of Assetto Corsa, that NEVER prevented official DLCs, even sporting the same products, to be sold at premium and at large. Some of these mods even became official DLCs btw.

Hey guys, how's the Wi-Fi 6E on this headset? Can you actually play DCS on wifi?

You're right in saying that DCS doesn't properly model damage. But with a proper penetration bomb, that'd be their best opportunity to sort out this flaw. A ultra realistic game like DCS simply can't skimp on damage modelling.

Wherever that corner may be it's still sometime *after* it's release date announcement. We don't even have that yet.

TBH, I don't see the interest in these tiny bangs. I'm more looking forward to GBU-28 sorts of weapons.

I also have a LG Ultragear, 144hz 1440p G-Sync compatible screen. After a few months it developed 3 vertical semi transparent blue stripes, about 1cm wide and 2cm apart from each other, right in the middle of the screen.

You shouldn't put it in ECO mode, unless you're really trying to save energy.

Wow, it looks like the fire came from the inside. Whetever happened ther?

As a modder myself, that's the first time I heard something like this.

Thanks for bringing this up. The F-117A, IMHO would make the best mod plane in DCS. It's a simple attack aircraft, subsonic, single-seater, and has no radars or advanced avionics of any kind.

Even Microsoft is changing its marketing and business model in face of competition. Skype and Office on-prem are now both on the chop board, Linux is now natively supported and 10k people were fired from as many departments as on can think of, so yes, competition does change any kind of company, particularly in software development where things can move quite fast.

No word yet.

Nothing personal, I usually enjoy reading your posts. You seem to really dig DCS. But sometimes you're lack of humbleness make you look like you're gatekeeping.

Nothing strange there buddy. They show what and when they want to show. Heatblur hasn't showed the F-4 ever since, but there is no doubt it will be one of the best modules in DCS. You're always way too negative and sometimes too quick to react to what others have to say as if you were the only source of truth.

Knowledge is not the same as misinformation.

Looks like we found the smartass!

Yes!

Quite underwhelming. Not a mention of MT or Vulkan.

I can really see a use for a ChatGPT in DCS doing tasks like ATC and background chatter, adding content to a Dynamic Campaign, AI backseaters, training modules, etc Amazing stuff

Stalled.

I know that in some developing countries, including those in south america where US dollar is not the main currency, the amount of US dollars generated, that is, entered the country, is one of or the main source of GDP. Easier to understand if we talk about international trade balance: the more the ratio leans towards exports, the more US dollars the country accumulated during its economic year, thus, the larger its GDP growth and the lesser its debt. Quite difficult for a third world country to find itself in this position, after all, they are developing countries with under developed industrialization competing against over protective trade unions (EU, US, ...). The result is that in these countries there are explicit legislations to retain as much US dollars as possible, like huge import taxes and legal curbing of money flow. To overcome this problem, companies are "invited" to settle in the country if they want to take a share of its economical potential: Industries build local plants, banks build subsidiaries, services build local business offices. It's a another way of saying that international companies are thus forced to deal on the local currencies. A website that sells from the EU or US or Asia means that the consumer must pay for all the import taxes and others, while if at the same time, the store had a business office in the country, dealing in the local currency, like Steam does, it has basically overcome the whole problem.

I am currently reading Skybreak by Mike Guardia, a book about F-15Cs in the Gulf War. There are also plenty of mentions to Sparrows dropping dead on release, but also plenty of good hits. Despite their faults, pilots still preferred using Sparrows over Sidewinders due to the later having a deadly attraction for the heaty desert ground than Mig-29s and Mirages burners.

Agreed. I will be happy to purchase as soon as we have a release date.

Thanks for me the first versions is the one I really care about with LANTIRN = Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night!! Enough said. https://youtu.be/LeRZ8qlU7yo
