you know i never tried this. I think this will be used on F14 etc as well. I need to play around with this.

I agree. That doesn't help either. when we have ground radar (I think GMT? for ground moving target) it will be much easier to pick a target with EXP modes etc One stil has tto remember that it's a dumb bomb though, it's going to move around based on wind etc. (and movement of target)

interesting... can we confirm this? and if it really works, or a placeholder?

I figured (wasn't sure) that's what they were, but what does it correlate to for shooting, whatever purpose it serves? like what If I shoot a large transport plane and I have small selected? and how about the thing on the side? auto vs manual. S mode I think?

What are you guys trying to hit? a tank from 15K feet with a dumb bomb? Whether CCIP/AUTO, you're going ot have a tough time at that altitute. a tank is big, but still a 30ft long thing. I don't think you're going to be 30 feet accurate from 15K feet... I'm not sure if DCS calculates this, but winds change from ground to 15K (and up). if winds are 125/45 at 15K feet, chances are at 3K it's 080/5 I would assume that AUTO/DTOSS is great for a predetermined target at altitude and CCIP great for smaller object that release point is at a much lower atltitue. I'm just speculating. I suck with auto with small targets. I suck with CCIP too. thank god for LGBs lol

Hey guys, Lately I've been flying a bunch of stuff so it's been a bit since the hornet. I just noticed these things that I don't remember seeing before... can someone tell me what they are? Just randomly throwing it out there, I also wish TWS was working already. Really useful for multiplayer. I'd love to soft lock targets and see IFF on it. Can't wait for that datalink thing or TWS to be implemented. lol

Imo, the problem is, they move on to a new project soon after release... So the concentration is taken away from from current model and goes into next model. They started the f14 when viggen wasn't finished. Now they will start something else when f14 isn't finished. But it appears people will pay for wip/ea. They make more money that way... And at the end of the day it's business and they are trying to make money. Who bought it, bought it and will buy it in wip. If next year they release an f4 or a tornado that's wip, people will buy that too... They might sell 1000 tornado in 2020, but they'll only sell 100 f14 that's "finished" It's just my opinion.

Ran into this guy who does photos and videos from the death valley in NV. I commented on his video, and he gave me a link to his flickr. There are some AMAZING background pictures... Please take a look. If you do this sim and appreciate military planes, you need to see them. https://www.flickr.com/photos/137929058@N06/with/46779619331/ Here is the video I ran into... It's a new post

I know I know... sorry... back on track... So I wanted to fly some today. I fired up the M2000C, the plane draws me. I really enjoy flying it. I'm glad I made the choice of getting it! I'm really looking forward to them giving it a mid life update

I dunno about ya'll but this F15 got shoo'd away by the SU-27 like a bulldog pushing away a little puppy :lol:

I made a thread about getting the M2000C or Mig 21... Purchased both... now I want the F86, and the Mig19 when razbam releases it. I already pre-ordered the F14. the amount of money I spent on this game...

I would love a full on mig (or a su 27) just for the sake of having a fully clickable red side, so I'd have a ton of people to fly against! lol I often see the servers with like 25 blue and 7 red if that lol

I wrote something, but I deleted it... I want to ask a simple question Can you tell me what plane the F15 was designed to defeat? What did they have in mind? I wanna know :)

so I've been flying the M2000C for few days now... I gotta say it's one of my favorite planes to fly. It's so darn smooth. It makes me wonder if it's this smooth in real life? Reminds me of the F18, but even smoother. It almost feels like I'm flying an arcade game. It accelerates SO fast. upon take off, if I'm not paying attention to that speed, I'm nearing 400 knots lol. It also lands very nice. you have alot of visual feedback (where to put throttle is very helpful) I can do some real good landings with it now overall, having a blast with it. just been doing the instant action stuff with dogfights and it's fun. I do wish I had more ammo though. 125 each gun is very little. I get few quick bursts and that it. That being said I guess it would be unlikely to engage more than 3 targets with guns in a real life scenario these days... the only downside is knowing it's not complete, and that I can't compete with jets that have fox 3 capability. I tried doing the sneaky thing, but I'm just not good at it. I keep getting picked up. I started the campaign, so we'll see how that goes. oh, and can someone tell me what the 0.00 box is when you're on the ground? I can't find any documentation about it...

I believe (don't quote me) but I think it's the downgraded radar that cuban air force (DAAFAR) has on their MLAs

Just out of curiousity. why are ya'll excited about the tornado? cuz of it's history? a plane I was never really interested in... what am I missing? lol IIRC, it was a 2 seater sweep wing figher bomber, but mainly did bombing and SEAD correct? Honestly, we could really use some high fidelity russian stuff from the 4th gen. I would love a complex Mig29 or Su 27, or a mig 25 or a 31... on MP servers, there really isn't good for the red side

so why did they think it was necessary for the A, then said "wait a minute, why did we put this on here? take it off!" lol odd

We'll make the best of what we got then. I just really wish we had a 120c like missile in the line up. I understand C is not capable of this. I guess that's like wanting aim120 on the F5... not going to happen lol How do you know so much about the mirage line up?

It's going to be easier for them once F16 rolls out since some of the stuff can be somewhat ported from F18. Granted not 1 to 1 port, but at least things like AIM120, aim 9x, apg-68, harm and all will already have been coded

SP - M2000 MP - Hornet I will say play the M2000 in a server where Fox 3 missiles are banned, you will have a level playing field, but when there are 120Cs allowed, lord help you in a M2000... you'll get spammed with 3 AIM120s and you're done. lol or you will need to seriously figure out how to fly low, fly flank and then come in behind players. NOt something I'm good at.

indeed. it likes to oscillate... It feel like an inherently unstable airplane, without fbw.. anyone ever see the 1st flight of the F16 when it just took off on it's own, oscillating like crazy? reminds me of that lol

is there a way to turn it on? like a mirror? is it for your rear or front?

so I just purchased this plane. by far, one of the hardest things to fly for me lol (minus the WWII stuff) We'll see how I end up liking it. Oh, and can someone tell me what on earth that thing on the canopy is? with the wiring to the cockpit

ahhh ok. So is the M2000C pretty much done? I saw some people asked if they would upgrade this to the 5 model and razbam said no

yeah I might have to do something like that. I just didn't want to take off and on stuff...\ edit - I just looked at that rudder setup. it's different and not like the rudders i've used on real planes (cessna, king air etc). What's the purpose of that style?
