  1. I'd forget the templates at the bottom and manually set the conditions you desire. I'm assuming they won't work properly until all the weather changes to DCS are "final." I think they're still working on clouds and stuff. Set the temperature cold enough to warrant snow, then select a DENSITY >4, and select SNOW from the PRECPTS dropdown. Hope that helps ~
  2. Do you have a link or keyword to help in searching for this? I can't find anything in the user files
  3. I'd say enjoy the cool-aid, but judging from your sig and avatar I'm guessing you've had enough. "Stop it, get some help." - MJ
  4. RAZBAM, the "that's good enough" company.

    Hud brightness

    Don't worry guys, it's only been in DCS for 3 years. Obviously things of this nature are very difficult and we really can't expect such difficult, yet important for the operation of the aircraft, functionality to be included with the jet for a mere $60. I'm sure in another 3 years they'll be able to figure it out and add it in.
  6. From a pilot's perspective "East is least, West is best." Meaning subtract east magvars and add west to get what you want. Hope that adds to the confusion.
  7. "Technique only..."
  8. Thanks guys, I guess I should have stated what I knew already. I was hoping there was a easy list somewhere. What I have: The above (thanks ~) ctrl+c, ctrl+v lalt+y arrow keys num+ num- ,(it's slow though...would be nice to have a fast zoom. Using mouse scroll wheel is probably what causes the most stress on my arm) H, add helicopter A, add airplane S, ship U, ground O, static
  9. Is there a list somewhere of all the keyboard shortcuts for ME interaction? ...my mouse forearm thanks you ~ EDIT: Compiled the short list from below for posterity... ctrl+c, ctrl+v ..........= copy/paste lalt+y ....................= change coordinate system arrow keys..............= move map num+ num-............= zoom Ctrl+shift+click........= multi unit selection H = new helicopter A = new airplane S = new ship U = new ground O = new static
  10. Yes. Can you tell me how many people are coding and what they're working on day to day? Do you know if any of them wear different hats within the company? Can you tell me why the mirage is in it's current state? Did you read anything else or just jump on the, quite obvious, quip at the end? They slow roll updates / leave things unfinished. As a customer I don't care about anything else. I'm merely stating that the cost/benefit analysis for me is to not pay for early access again. I've given every 3rd party developer a shot with early money and now am reacting to the products I've received. Lot's of airplanes in the hanger...
  11. Try telling M-2000C pilots that it's only a matter of time before it's done. Released status...not done...nor is it likely ever to be. ...But hey, it's great to see those photos of the F-15E ejection seat... I do have to say though that I've been complaining about not being able to dim the HUD for a long time now and they slid that in without saying so on the last patch. The cynic is me says it's only because they were working on the night tarawa lighting and decided they needed it instead of listening to the community and this would be corroborated by the fact the Mirage still can't dim it's HUD, but it is what it is. Personally, I'm not going to pay for early access from them again fwiw.
  12. No vacation for you!
  13. I'm pondering the feasibility of a script to check when a client stops refueling from a tanker and then subsequently resets the tanker's fuel state mid air to prevent that tanker from quitting while a player is trying to refuel. Checking for the event and fuel state is pretty straight forward but I don't see anything about setting an active group's variables.
  14. FWIW, I hope you guys have a 53 in that lineup. I fly with a fairly large and diverse multiplayer group every weekend and I don't know anyone that wouldn't be pretty excited about a 53. We also have former 53 guys in the mix and do a ton of helo ops. This would be widely welcomed methinks ~
  15. Thanks for the update ~
  16. Amen brother. +1
  17. Thanks very much! I'll look for that manual
  18. And when returning tower gives them updated wx on initial contact? Please don't take offense, but I'm looking for concrete answers...no assumptions or thoughts please.
  19. Hi, can any of you nautical types explain how getting weather information before a flight on an aircraft carrier works? Specifically, do you just get your wx as you step to the jet or is there also some sort of ATIS that you can tune to? If there is an ATIS or standard radio call, do you have any example links you can share to help us mission builders? Thanks ~
  20. TLDR so forgive me if someone has already said this. A big advantage of the E is being able to target anything you want...like if you want to put it through a window or target a specific spot on a bridge or whatever you can think of. I think the range of the maverick is something like 15-20 miles maybe from altitude so you should get some more range from the E since the limfac will be the laser distance as apposed to the seeker getting a lock. Along the same vein, max distance JTAC lased targets really helps keep you out of the enemy WEZ.
  21. This is razbam...they still haven't implemented brightness control on the M-2000 HUD. Something that is a particular sore spot for me... ;P ...so no. And I wouldn't expect it anytime soon unfortunately. BUT! The good news is you can adjust the brightness of the cautions / warnings panel... :doh:
  22. Disappointing news. This could have been stated from the get go...as soon as it was mentioned instead of letting the community believe they'd see something new. Do not blame the consumers for building up a "hype train" as the only experience we've had with "Flaming CLiffs" was completely different modules. There is NO WAY anyone would have understood it would be rehashed full fidelity modules. ...and please stop using this idiotic hype train argument in general people. Having an expectation doesn't necessarily mean you're overly excited about it. Also please stop with the logical fallacy that communication is either all or nothing. People aren't upset with more information they're upset with bad information. More information means worse than nothing if it's not true. Also disappointing because this undoubtedly means that the long existing problems that we've all been told would be quickly addressed after "the great merge" are now going to be put on the back burner. I'm sure we'll be told this isn't the case but we all know that resources are finite. If this is being done for cash flow business reasons I completely understand and see no harm in it. I would have liked to see the public relations aspect of it handled much differently though.
  23. There's so much wrong with your post, from assumptions to logical falacies, that I hardly know where to begin and as such don't think I will engage with them. I think it's necessary to respond quickly though as the white knights abound. If you want to petition ED for female voices, models, etc. I'll back you up all the way. Nobody is trying to oppress you here and it would be great to have the variety. You do realize though that the female contingent of online flight simulation is incredibly small in comparison to the men don't you? And you understand that would inevitably lead to certain design choices as there's limited time and resources to create everything in a simulation that's 18+ years old now? To my knowledge nobody is trying to oppress or exclude you. If you want to fly with me as my wing or my lead I'd love it ( assuming we'd get along ). In pretty much every campaign that's been or being developed there are female parts, from ATC to pilots. I think your premise that you're being excluded is just wrong. If you choose to continue to have problems with the community at large, you could always start an all female squadron, or develop all female acted missions/campaigns, or do some other clever thing that I can't think of. If you want me to change my language so your feelings don't get hurt...no. You don't get to dictate my language (something that has been a prelude to every social engineering atrocity in human history) and if you're really that upset about a completely innocuous colloquialism like gentlemen, I'd recommend toughening up a bit because it would serve you well in the world. I hope you understand that nothing I've said here is said with malice. These are simply my thoughts and you can take from them what you will ~
