Not sure what the next fast mover is, but how would you feel about an F-86? Becuz that is an upcoming module. From TFC I believe.

What I'm hearing is that missiles will fly more real to life but the extremely broken seeker problem will still be present. If thats the case I could give a damn how realistic the missile flies. I'm taking a wait and see stance. Let someone else waste their money on pretty new graphics when things are still broken under the hood.

Have you played FC2 online? I'd post a bunch of links to youtube videos that show what I'm talking about but then I'd get "warned". You're quite knowledgeable about many real life aspects regarding missile and a/c technology, so since you don't know what I'm talking about how about you commit? Tell us now that the many issues regarding FC3 missile employment have been fixed. Are you still invulnerable to any kind of "fox" below 20 meters? Playing stupid doesn't suit you since you regard yourself as extremely knowledgeable about things combat aircraft related. The AFM for missiles won't mean squat if they track as stupid and unrealistic as they did in FC2. Frankly, I doubt many in this community will buy if the same game stoppers that plagued FC2 plague FC3. Judging by your response, I suspect maybe I'm correct and ED wants to keep this under wraps until they sell the game. I could be way off base but your response is suspect.

Is M/P going to be fixed before Fc3 is released? You have many server admins who promote your product, for free, so the community can fly against each other. For free. Flying against the AI, who cheats just isn't any fun. The AI in DCS isn't too smart.

This is not good news. Can we still expect missiles to lose track of jets when you orthagonal roll, or perform one of a dozen maneuvers that the exploiters used to shake a shot fired at them? Or dump a couple chaff and you're invincible? Can you tell me with ask this wonderful AFM are we still going to have to deal with the same major problems that plagued FC3? Also, is maddog still borked cuz the russian fan boys didn't like reality? If I want balance I'll play BF3. If the answers to the above questions are yes, ED isn't getting a dime of mine. FC2 was a POS because of the aforementioned issues. I'd like to see them get it right instead of having to wait for more unfinished software that we were promised would be fixed, but wasn't.

No response to refute my claims except to insult? How mature! Are you mad, bro? I add to my previous statement: it's childish individuals in this community such as yourself that were a large problem as well.;)

A-10C is 2008. That argument has been used over and over and is an excuse for features that were borked to even up the gameplay. Back on topic, are the missing radar modes being added to the F-15? I don't mind paying to bring FC into the DCS series. I think it will unify the community again. ED however should fix the things they screwed up or should have fixed in previous incarnations of the sim. I'm happy about any cockpit or graphic upgrade, but I'd prefer they fix what (IMHO) killed Fc2. 1) the ridiculously horrible performance of ARH missiles, amraam in particular. 2) flying below 20 meters making you impossible to be hit with a missile. 3) The aforementioned ECM issues ranging from the ridiculous warm up to prevent macro users to denying any kind of radar lock till within 10 miles. 4) effectiveness of beaming and how easy lock is lost. Didn't have to be a perfect beam, as long as you were within 25° of the notch it worked. Not to mention how long it took to reacquire the signal when the a/c left the notch. 5) chaff rejection is no where close to real world performance. Countermeasures in general either under or over perform depending which that you use. There are more that I'll post later but it would be nice if we could get some kind of official reply about these issues. I'd like to buy FC3 but not if it was the dog that FC2 was. LOMAC before the first patch had better weapon performance.

I hope that "advanced flight dynamics" means that they fixed Amraam. The C-5 model can't be jammed for instance. It's "brain" knows the difference between a cloud of foil pieces and a jet. Theres something seriously wrong with the sim when you can rack up a higher kill count using SARH than with ARM. One thing wasn't mentioned; ECM Has that been fixed or will we have to endure the terrible fix that was patched last time, 15 second warm up. Or the ridiculous idea that Russian jets can jam an F-15 and deny him a lock beyond 10 miles? Before the pro Russian guys complain do you want reality or game balance? BF3 has game balance.....Also, do we get JHMCS with the 15? Every squadron (including Guard) are now running helmet mounted sights.

I can't see any servers either. Two different computers, two different logins and copies of the sim. Firewall is correctly configured and I can see FC2 servers on both machines.

That's the correct way to do it. You can also buy threaded inserts to screw the pit together. You drill the part off the MDF that receives the screw and install the insert with the proper size allen wrench. Then you drill the hole in the other piece for the screw and assemble. You can tighten them very tight with the insert taking all of the pressure. I built several book shelves using inserts and they are incredibly strong. You can also disassemble/reassemble the project at a later date if need be. The inserts don't add too much to the total cost of the project.

I know I can do that. I wanted to be able to program it in one of my controllers.

Is there an entry in the keybinds four seat raise and lower? I can't seem to find them.

That map is a USGS map. I have a copy of the original on my hard drive.

I have that board and have had the Warthog for 4 months. I fly every day. So far it hasn't been bricked.

RedX, can you post your code please?

Thank you. I presumed cooler heads would prevail.

Why are you calling names? I gave my opinion. If you don't agree that is your right. Name calling is immature on your part. Is this representative how 104th members treat others? I'm ashamed of you. The other members of 104th should be too. Your response meets that criteria. I gave an opinion you replied with childish insults. You should be ashamed of yourself. The 104th should be embarrassed by your reply. I'm sad that the people who disagree with you must endure disrespectful behavior from you. It is immature and childish.

I think its cool that the 104th is doing this. I probably wont fly on the server. But it is a good idea and should provide HAWX type fun.

JTAC is broken in that mission. I've had it work once. Pick off the advancing armor as it approaches friendly lines. You have to delay their advance. Use your Maverick's for anti air assets. You will do a lot of circling but you can beat that mission without JTAC's help.

I don't think you can make the cursor disappear. But is there a way to make the arrow pointer disappear when you've toggled the cursor off?

RCTRL Num 0 toggles snap views. Use same keybinds to exit snap views.

Make sure your rate of descent is -3 or less and flare before you touch down.

Mavs will track and hit a target that was destroyed while the Maverick is in flight mode. We're halfway there. I agree that we should be able to lock dead targets.

It's 2, 3, 4 for the AP sub-modes.
