ROFL...............................

As much as the Stuka was a feared and fierce plane (to people on the ground) for the early part of the war, and as notorious, and iconic (for lack of a better term) as it was. And as much as I think it would be cool to fly it. I was chuckling with some pals on TS about it. It is destined to become cannon fodder in DCS for all of the allied planes that should be able to very easily shoot them down by the dozens. But when the WWII map comes out, the possibilities are endless for battle scenarios. I think it would be a hoot.......Hope to see it someday.

Yeah, I'm in Tucson. I'm not as anxious as some of these other fellas over it. In fact, I'm off to bed right now so I'll just check tomorrow morning. I'm sure it will be a free for all when it's released anyway. 50,000 screaming, crazy sim enthusiasts trying to download an update and module at the same time lol.

If there is a set time for modules or updates to be released, I have never been able to figure it out. Sometimes it's late Thu evening (Arizona time) and sometimes its early afternoon Fri. (Arizona time). It just happens whenever it happens. I can't say the time has ever been clearly consistent. It's like my parents use to say...."It'll be here when it gets here."

Now that's what I call flight sim porn!!! I have to admit.....I'm a little turned on right now.........:huh:

It's not really different from any arguments that I see here all of the time. :smilewink:

No, no no....you don't understand. ED releases everything based on my clock. So it won't be around for another 6 hours at least. And even then, they might be waiting for me to get out of bed, have my tea, eat my breakfast in the morning, and then they'll probably email me to make sure I'm ready.:megalol::lol::thumbup:

Much easier said than done. Being a busy person, I have limited and very random times when I am available to fly DCS. I get on whenever I can but it's almost never consistent. Not to mention that I am unable to commit to any particular time. I fly when I can and enjoy the time that I have to do so. But there is little chance of being able to make arrangements to be here at any specific time.

I too was partial to the old FM. But the best place is somewhere in between. I agree that it's a little loose right now. They'll get it dialed in pretty soon I am sure. Meanwhile, I'll be busy happily learning the spitfire. That's the great thing about DCS. If something is broken or off, you can spend your time with other cool and fun stuff while you're waiting for it to get fixed.

The embark feature goes through various states of disrepair at times. I believe that it is currently not working for the Mi8 and the Huey both. Also, the last time it was working, the troops would not embark if there was enemy within firing range of them. It did not matter if they were under any kind of cover, the troops just would not move until the threat was taken away.

You said a mouthful there! There is another flight sim out that if you even disagree with one of the old timers they'll do their level best to make you lose your cool and kick you. I have seen that sooo many times there. Admins are as big a jerks as they come, and will erase people's posts if they don't like them. :cry: No complaints at all allowed there. It's just terrible. I do not ever post there because I have seen some pretty nasty transactions from the regulars that led to banning anyone who asks questions that they find stupid, or has a complaint. :mad::mad::mad: But then.....there are other forums that I have been on that needed a little regulation. Battlefield, COD, and others have forums that are out of control, with language and commentary that can border on psychotic. ED forums are very good about these things. I myself was quite an a$$hole early on and it got me banned from here. After taking time to think on everything. I apologized to ED, promised to level out, and they took me right back without hesitation, even though I did not ask to come back. So yes.....good forum group.

+1! Absolutely, just to be sure. It may come out for both, but then again......it's not uncommon for a module to be released to 1.5 first. So it's at the very least a 50 / 50 proposition.

I don't think that the track played correctly for you. The plane started in the track. That was not the issue. I have been using DCS for years now and the Mustang since it's release. Startup was not the issue in this track. The actual behavior of the sim itself. So it must have (as per usual) messed up the actual track. I wish they knew how to fix the playback.

Since the last update the P-51 has truly gone in a very interesting direction. We are already aware of the "ALT" button bug. But also, I cannot get it to start in many servers. But this track is truly bizarre. It was done in SP. Not sure what to make of it. All I do know is that I have been trying to fly the P-51 for the past hour and have yet to get it started. It's as though I am in a different time space continuum than the plane itself. Kind of Twilight Zoney......... p51 time.trk

Thanks BIGNEWY, I was getting a little panicky.......

I know exactly what you mean! :doh:

Hmm....Where are all of you when I'm in the servers? All I ever see there are 14-20 year old lunatics who only fly the F15. Sometimes I get so aggravated that I just don't go on line. I'll be starting up and some kid will careen into me as he's trying to do a supersonic flyover to show all of us his skills. So I guess I just answered my own question. With age comes common sense I suppose. I'm only 52.

You are exactly right. I am a Huey fan. I flew in them in the early 80's in the military. I find it feels better to me than the Mi8, and I can use it more effectively. I cannot do much of anything with the Mi8. I agree that both are wonderful modules and I'm glad I own them. But I'm much more of a Huey fan. And I also really enjoy the Gazelle, but a lot of folks don't care for it much. So yes.....It's very much a personal preference thing.

ts3.virtual-aerobatics.com or ts3.theflyingpandas.net As a rule, I'm not on TS all of the time. I rarely ever see people there these days. But these are the two servers I spend most of my time on. I also spend a fair amount of time in the NTTR virtual aerobatics server.

Hey!!!! That Kenyan prince is my 3rd cousin once removed on my stepmother's side of the family. Maybe we're related..........

I go by Tuco in the servers. If you ever see me there just gimme a holler and I'll hang with you. I cannot comit to meeting up on line at any given time but I am on in the late afternoon and late evenings a lot of the time. Do you have TS?

"It's a Violation of EULA. It might be laughable to you guys now, But try being one of the people that got duped by these sites who cannot play because their key was sold to multiple recipients and is bound to another account therefore invalid to use online w/ their account. " Yeah....I would be pretty upset myself. But it really kind of goes back to an old saying, "You can't con an honest man." I know that sounds too black or white and indeed the reality of it is very grey. But whenever I see a product like DCS, or Battlefield, Halo, or whatever on a site that doesn't seem affiliated, or isn't the actual vendor's website, I won't give it a second look. The internet is chock full -0- crooks waiting to take your money, ID, and dignity away from you. It's a world with no moral compass, boundries, or discrimination. Anyone who spends even a modest amount of time on the internet should know to be very, very weary of these things.
