That's pretty snobby of you or anyone else who feels like shitting on noobs and PRECISELY the reason why the community has trouble attracting and retaining new pilots. Show a little empathy and support FFS. I quite agree with the OP. There should be an advanced and basic section for all aspects of this game because, reality check, this here is NOT the real stuff.

DONE!!!! Now go make me a sammich haha https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=231005

AGM-88 HARM TEST TURTORIAL FOR DUMMIES If you know NOTHING about how to do any of this, check out these videos. They are NOT polished or scripted. They are bare bones but give you WAY more info than any other single video I've ever seen about the AGM-88 HARM for DCS F-18 Part 1 Setting up a working SAM site Part 2 Setting up the jet properly Part 3 How to test it all out. I’ll try to make more as I go along but this was done out of frustration for what’s out there on YouTube. NOTE** For those of you that just want the mission, here it is. harm test 2.miz

Haha I knew I'd get that.... I don't know how, otherwise I would

Someone REALLY needs to make some YouTube videos that JUST SAY click this, click this, click this. Set this to this and so on. No god damm explaination, no long winded script about stuff. Just the bottom line on what’s needed to make something work.

OHHHHHH YEAH!!!! AWWWWWWRIGHT LOL

Agreed, Collectively over the years I've dumped more than 10k into the proper running of this sim and the purchases made so, yeah..... Just leave it as is.

Nope, not in a million years!.... DCS is such a complex sim that you need to offer it free to try and then make the DLC enticing enough to buy which it clearly is. The flight sim community is small and VERY scrutinous so it's best to leave it the way it is. Free with 2 planes so you can see how it runs on your system and then let the end user go from there.

Ahhhh... OK, with all the videos floating around on youtube I thought it was out even though I clearly saw the word "Pre-purchase"..... Dammit, now I'm out 70 buck all because I watched Top Gun again and became nostalgic :joystick: Thanks guys.... Can't wait to try it out.

Hey gang, Anyone have an issue with this? It's been 30 mins since I bought the Tomcat and I still don't see a prompt in DCS to download it. With all the other modulesand purchases it's literally taken seconds to process the transaction and download the DLC. Cheers and thanks

Yeah but that's not gospel. Just because you don't see big throttle movements doesn't mean all pilots fly smoothly in. Also, this video is your definition of "no big throttle movements"? They look pretty big to me so for those of you that have the impression that landing case 1 is always smooth once you have everything set, you are mistaken. The bottom line here is that all these pilots do whatever they need to do to land the plane. They don't all demonstrate text book technique. They demonstrate *their* technique which also changes depending on the conditions. Fly the plane and don't sweat perfection until you're good enough to. :thumbup: This does raise a good question though; In training, are Naval Aviators trained on doing correct carrier landings before they are taught the pattern? I'd guess they're taught the carrier landings first so no matter what happens when practicing their pattern they can at least land the jet. This seems to make sense to me.

I'm not a pro at case 1 by any stretch of the imagination. My orbits are too big and break turns, down wind leg.. All that stuff I suck at BUT, I did realize that when I set my flaps to full during my massively huge break turn it works better if I use more throttle than stick to keep things smooth as pie. Check all the carrier landing videos on YouTube and you'll see that the pilot does far more throttle work than he does stick work until he's on final and then he's manipulating everything as much as he needs to to catch that 3rd wire. In the end it's all about get the the jet on the deck safely and no matter what you read you need to figure out what works best for you.

Je sais pas si vous avez verifier mais je pense que ce forum a une section francais. La majorite des membres entre cette section son anglophone.

When I was flying falcon 4.0 I used “Roger Wilco” and it was a bare bones audio mic program and it worked flawlessly. I know times change with technology and the evolution of culture but REALLY???? Not everything has to be an all in one product.

I know I’m gonna sound old and archaic but I LIKE teamspeak. It’s easier to use, less cluttered and more of a audio program than discord. Discord is Far too cluttered, hard to navigate and has more features than you can shake a stick at..... and I can shake a stick at a lot lol. All I’m saying is that when I want a mic program to communicate with my team I prefer JUST that. If I want to network and share pictures and stuff I’ll use Facebook and the plethora of moronic social media programs out there. I’m not a fan of screw drivers with a wine bottle openers,Bluetooth, wifi, socket set and key fob for your car, I just want a freikin screw driver.

Nope, you understand me correctly... Thanks for the info, I kinda thought this is what I would need to do in order to take advantage of it. Kinda sad though, it would be nice to see it implemented automatically vs spending hours and hours creating a mission with all the eye candy. Oh well ;) Happy New Year everyone!

That's fine but it doesn't answer my question which is; "it gives me the impression that I will see more ground assets on ANY map regardless of whether or not I'm flying a WW2 aircraft. Can someone either confirm this or tell me what I'm missing?"

OK, I must be missing something because going off of this blurb in the E-shop about the Assets pack, it gives me the impression that I will see more ground assets on ANY map regardless of whether or not I'm flying a WW2 aircraft. Can someone either confirm this or tell me what I'm missing? I bought the assets pack, *installed it* and didn't see a single increase in ground assets in the Normandy map or any other map for that matter. ------------------------------------------------------ The DCS: World War II Assets Pack provides numerous World War II air, land and sea assets to populate the Normand and other DCS World maps with. Eagle Dynamics has spent several years creating an entirely new set of combat vehicles to support DCS: World War II, and each unit is created with an exceptional level of detail and accuracy. In addition to populating World War II era maps, this asset pack can be used with all other DCS World map modules. ------------------------------------------------------

Yup, it's cosmetic and not a priority with all the projects ED has going on.

F = Fighter A = Attack E = electronic countermeasures & recon (for example, EA-6B) C = Cargo T = Tanker or trainer B = Bomber and so on and so on.......

November 1st and nothing but crickets :noexpression:

I really need to brush up and learn the Hornet better. I'll pm you as soon as I can. Thanks for the invite. Most servers treat noobs as fish bait.

Good point... This may backfire on ED if the intention is to generate more interest. Casual players want to fly and learn, not fly for a few mins and then get shot down. There should be training servers for noobs or a strong recommendation that noobs stick to Single player until they are up to speed on everything.

Thank you as well. Tired of looking at a naked carrier

The seasons change on the 21st or 22nd of every third month. Plain and simple lol.
