  1. Where are you getting this information? I ask because you state this as if it is a fact you are sure of.
  2. Take a pic of the options screen so all the settings are seen, and post it.
  3. Adding to what Jarama said.... When in any of the 3 modes described, if an aircraft enters the cue (on the line/in the circle) you can press "target lock" and the radar will snap onto it in STT allowing you to quickly get a firing solution.
  4. Currently DCS World doe not do fire bombs.
  5. Thank you for the candid answer. I wish you would put the plane out in a beta, and fill in the additional content along the way, but I respect your decision to do it the way your team wants. I'll support the product either way.
  6. One of the Dev's posted about re-scaling it already.
  7. Quoted from another thread... The laser can overheat, but not by just being on standby. Laser ranging and laser illumination are the two things that heat up the laser (ranging happens automatically when you push the target lock button on the collective (“АВТ ЗАХВ” button. Toggles target acquisition and lock when using Shkval)). Try to do as little ranging as possible and you should be able to get at least one and a half loads of Vikhrs off (~18 missiles) before the laser starts to overheat. I sometimes have difficulties to get a target lock. That's why my SOP is to set laser to off, lock up target (as often as I need to in order to get a solid lock), then set laser to standby and lock target again (which will also update the range to target). When you range or engage a target, there's a countdown timer displayed in the HUD. Never ever range or engage anything before the timer has reached zero! If the laser does overheat, there's a 30 minute cooldown period, and I think aircraft repair doesn't affect laser cooldown. You'll know the laser stops working when you can't get an updated range indication in the Shkval. What you described as "they simply fly astray and hit the ground" is what happens with a cooked laser.
  8. I fly the Mustang in 2.0 regularly. I just finished a mission with a landing. The landing felt perfectly normal to me.
  9. You can't add moving trains. They are automatically generated, and the follow a set schedule. For non-moving trains, look in "static objects" - "structure". They are named coach.
  10. The scan area for the magic seeker maybe higher than it should be. When trying to lock a target with the Magic seeker (not using radar at all) it is almost impossible to get a lock inside the seeker scan ring, but if you line the gun cross up on the target you can get a lock easier.

    ARMAT?

    From a purely capitalist point of view; Will inclusion of the ARMAT cause any loss of sales? Not likely. Will inclusion of the ARMAT cause any increase in sales? Maybe, yes. Is the effort to get it in worth the payoff? Only RAZBAM knows.
  12. Not all aircraft have the same kind of ECM systems. In the A-10 the ECM only runs for a few seconds when it's activated. It's purpose is immediate threats only (your locked, missile in the air, etc). While the F-15, in the sim, has a system that will help mask you from a distance, in theory allowing you to get closer than without it before the radar burns through and you are locked. Under /Mods/ and the aircraft/docs you will find a manual for each aircraft.
  13. When you create a release install the updater will use files from your 1.5 beta and download only the changed files. So it will mean a lot less to download if you create your release install before removing the open beta 1.5. There will be more beta installs in the future. At the moment the open beta and release versions are the same, but that will change.
  14. A Wobbly Goblin would be great fun if the dev can get the stealth right. Without stealth it's just an under powered, under armed, un-maneuverable, missile magnet.
  15. Start menu under Eagle Dynamics. If you don't have one, the program is in the /bin folder of your install.

    S530 Range

    I wouldn't worry too much about BVR at this point. You can't count on a hit outside of 10 miles with any missile in the game currently, when against a fighter. The 530D will be a good bomber buster. Like in the 21, when dealing with fighters it is often best to carry heaters and go for the merge. All missiles in the game currently can be spoofed into the ground. Air to air and surface to air. This is in the game engine. Radar locks break a lot in the game. Countermeasures, beaming, notching, even taking an extreme AoA can do it. Sincere thanks to the team for the way you're communicating with us. Looking forward to shooting Ramsey down from my M2000C real soon. :megalol:
  17. Click the DCS logo in the upper left corner of the forum page. Hover over the Downloads drop-down and click user files. Filter device profiles and select a module.
  18. This was the leak. https://steamdb.info/search/?a=sub&q=dcs Since then Cobra has in fact confirmed Iwo, F4U and Viggen as well as another Pacific map. I'll let you search that stuff yourself, if you're interested.

    DCS: F-5E!

    Most operators of the F-5 modified them or had them modified. The Saudi's paid Northrop for major upgrades, like the ability to self lase, fire Shrikes, and BVR missile, while others like Singapore did the upgrades themselves. You can find pictures and data with all kinds of configurations if you look hard enough. Belsimtek are simulating a less modified version.
  20. MD, the answers you seek are in this thread. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=116362
  21. I'll still be downloading it. :doh:
  22. As the dust settles from the NTTR release, I suspect we will see new training missions on that map.
  23. Try having the Blue infantry spawn just outside the range of the Red. Then move them into the range and see if they fire.
  24. Thanks for the tip.... I think this is the same, known bug as has been reported by others as well. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=152123
  25. I think there is a way to deactivate outside of the sim. Do a few searches you may find it. I'll take a look to see if I can also. Look at the PDF attached to this post. http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2536071&postcount=2 Good luck!
