Specter

They are already integrated, just not used on Tr1. Tr2 onwards probably didn't bother. Not sure how many Tr1 aircraft are still in service as I left the Typhoon 6 years ago and as each day goes by my knowledge gets more out of date. Image not one of mine, found on the internet, but yes, nice image.

In the very early days of getting the A/G clearance on the Tr1 Blk 5 Typhoons (circa 2008) we did drop 1000lb KFF bombs but operationally, in this day of limiting collateral damage, there was no appetite for dropping 1000lb of unguided bombs despite our trials proving an accuracy much better than the Tornado dropping the same bomb (a CEP of about 85 feet). Should we ever decide carpet bombing is a valid tactic in real life again then the Typhoon is cleared to drop freefall but there is just no reason to.

If you do that then the base that the Brits fly from will not be included (Akrotiri) It needs to be the whole island or not worth bothering.

Spot on! That fixed it. I'll need to remember that one. Thanks.

Hey Guys I have just downloaded the latest version (v1.4.2) and installed it in the saved games folder as per the install instructions but it does not appear in game. Any ideas what I might have missed?

And he is 1st rate at it. He told us he was unwell last night. Hope he is feeling better today.

That is easy to do when available missile numbers are large and sending the bandit defensive is the aim (no pun intended) but when missile numbers are limited the last thing you can afford to do is spamram in the vague hope of a kill so getting in close and dirty is the only option giving the bandit little time to defend. Because CA is used for GCI and missile launches are visible to the GCI, totally unrealistic by the way, the only way to realistically get a kill is as I said above. I would like to see how everyone would cope with this mission if the more realistic LotATC was the only source of GCI.

I'm not surprised! Blue were severely undermanned, no GCI most of the time and could barely get out of the circuit at Ramat before getting engaged buy a ridiculous number of SAMs. Definitely felt like a Red Feel Good mission where blue was being nibbled to death by ducks! Added to that the performance hit of the Syria map made it a serious slide show at times. Certainly not as enjoyable as your usual F5 vs Mig21 missions.

I've just removed it via the module manager and reinstalled it when offered. All ok now but it was definitely messed up during the last update. Thanks for trying to help.

Flappie, thank you for trying to help. All my DCS file locations are excluded from my AV since the last false AV fiasco a few months ago. It's late here now so I'm not going to start messing around with the installation right now but here is my log file. dcs.log

Trying to not be too abrupt, YES I own it and have done since 20 March 2020

I am suffering with the following message: Authorization failure: The following DLCs are not authorized and will be disabled: JF-17 Anyone else suffering similar issues or does anyone have a solution?

Have a look here to see the issue.

We are only on 2.5.6 not 2.6

I've recently installed Twitch2DCS and I am now getting "[string "C:\Users\Jim\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts\Twitch2DCS.lua"]:236: loop in gettable" every time I start DCS. Any ideas?

I haven't added any.

I don't know what you mean by names mods.

Initially I just thought it was a massive coincidence that I was hearing my bort number (I always set mine in the loading screen to 610) on virtually every call the super carrier was making. However, last night I was on a recovery as No2 in a flight of 2 and when the lead made his ball call I heard the carrier respond with my bort number (610). On asking him what he has set he said he had 068 and that was what he heard. It seems since the super carrier was released you only ever hear your own bort number regardless of who the call was too. Gets a bit confusing when there a load of recoveries. A new bug maybe?

As my namesake said the pilots all came back to the UK, for some simulator sessions to re-qualify in the use of the LDP. The mixed 2 ship flights continued for a long time but the Typhoon had it's own LDP after about week 2. The main reason for the mixed formations was the Typhoons 1000lb bomb was great for the middle of the desert but lacked subtlety when collateral damage was a concern and that was when the Tornados smaller PGMs were better suited. Latterly the Typhoon flew the majority of the missions near the end as it's dispatch rate was much better than the aged Tornado. Also, Spectre, they were T1 Blk 5 aircraft that went out, I spent a whole weekend getting them ready!

Within the Scripts/UI folder there is a file gameMessages.dlg. Open it with Notepad++ and you will find 6 [Fontsize] entries. Edit them to what ever size text you want, default is 10 I think. Each entry relates to a different message source so you will need to experiment if you only want to change one.

Not as far as I know! I just checked and it was indeed set to true. I don't ever remember changing that. Anyway, set to false and deck crew now render correctly. Only question now is what else has changed by me changing that setting!!!!

I have flown into and out of Al Dhafra many times. It's runways are as smooth as any in the West. In DCS they might be made from Coral!!

I've flown of a lot of real runways including grass in small aeroplanes and I can assure you this is not realistic in any way whatsoever.
