You can exit snowplow mode by point/are tracking something (if possible). If you can't do that on the ground, you will need to manually slave the TGP from a markpoint to the object you want to point track. However i highly recommend aligning mavs when airborne to reduce parallax error.

Easily. Most of our references for F35 operations are block 3F utilising the full SDD weapons suite. A 3F from an R&D POV is a minor step up from the 2B/3I. Vocal minority. The amount of new players the F35 will attract will definitely benefit the DCS ecosystem as a whole. The F35s have done a lot more than just "bombing peasants" in the real world.

The procedure for boresighting mavericks on the ATP is identical to the procedure on the LITENING

Hopefully a 3F since its barely any more work than a 2B and has significant upgrades in capabilities

Regardless, the Block 1s you want are subsonic, can only pull 18 degrees of alpha and 5G. They carry no weapons and lack MADL or L16. The Jet you want is an initial training variant of the F35.

We already have plenty of subsonic trainers in DCS, an F35 Block 1A/B would objectively be the worst.

We just want an F35 with its full warfighting capabilities. Its barely any more effort to make a 3F because its just a 2B/3I with less FLCS restrictions and mostly more of the same weapons. Eg. SDBs are operated the same way as JDAMs and we get more AMRAAMs and external stores. We get it, you just really want ED to make a Block 1# F35.

I think most people also would appreciate not being limited to only two AMRAAMs in the Block 2B/3I

Can you submit a .trk file which doesn't require us to download the T-45 mod please?

External bags must be depressurized in order to be air refueled. This is done by opening the AAR door several minutes prior to refueling.

As @Moonshine said, its 134. However for future reference, all ALIC codes can be found in \Scripts\Aircrafts\_Common\Cockpit\AN_ALR_HarmIDs.lua

The F-35B is cool and all, but has some significant limitations over the A such as: A lower airspeed limit of 630KIAS (compared to 700 on the A). A G-Limit of only 7 (compared to 9 on the A) A smaller weapons bay which can't fit 2000lb class bombs. It also lacks the internal gun. From a FM/FLCS perspective also don't need to model the 6 control law modes on the F35B (excluding all the gains) and the weird flight dynamics that come from entering STOVL flight. There are some weird workarounds, but using TRC on a throttle that lacks FFB and adjustable gates can also pose issues.

VSN has their own discord server, you’re much more likely to get a help there than on the ED F35 forum.

Maybe we’ll see the overall capabilities some CCAs after they enter service in a few years. But only god knows whether or not we will exactly how CCAs integrate with the F35s avionics and PVI within the next decade. BTW the portal showed in your screenshot from that LM video does not follow the same design conventions as every other F35 portal. I do not imagine it would look anywhere close to that on the real jet.

Sure the LITENING has overall better video quality, primarily because it lacks digital zoom modelling. However Multi-Track on the ATP is pretty useful in A2G missions. Personally the digital zoom modelling hasn't affected me much in how i operate A2G missions because of the XR processing. But many people do dislike how you can't just constantly slew the ATP around and have crystal clear imagery, which i understand.
