My RIO was the host and he couldn't contact the tanker

I agree, external sound is not a strong point of heatblur. This needs to be worked on to be on par with the Hornet (or better :smilewink:)

it's fantastic, these little details punch much above their weight in adding realism and life to the sim. Yes, they add life, something DCS lacks completely otherwise.

Having a ton of fun flying with a friend as RIO, however it's impossible to get an answer from the tanker to refuel. Tried several different missions, with Jester not a problem, but with human RIO it just doesn't work. In the same MP mission flying with 3 friends, 2x in one aircraft and one with Jester, only the F-14 with Jester could contact the tanker.

The F-14 is not only a great aircraft, but a well released module of a great aircraft. Sure there are bugs here and there but all in all, this is the most complete release to date, and it is enjoyable to a higher level than any other module has been upon release (or even 2-3 years later for some :music_whistling:) So, thank you Heatblur. It feels good to have spent money on something polished and enjoyable like your F-14! This is really on a different level :thumbup:

The point folks like you are constantly missing is very simple: Razbam sold a product, with a price and with a description of its characteristics. People who buy it are not required to deeply analyze, understand or be experts of the process behind the production of said product: they rely on what's written on the tin. If the tin says tomatoes, you expect to find tomatoes inside. If you find no tomatoes, or rotten tomaotes, or any other thing that is not what was advertised, then the company selling it has a problem that falls somewhere between giving misleading information and frauding customers. Now I'm sure in the EULA somewhere there is some fine type that says you're not the owner of anything, you didn't actually buy anything etc. So technically we are always wrong and they are always right. But the reality is, as ED's customers, we expect that the seller has the knowledge and resources to deliver what they are selling. If not, then WHY are they selling it, and WHAT are they selling exactly??

The whole thread was deleted :music_whistling:

Finish the Viggen and the Tomcat, then, just then, make a TORNADO!!!!

Something is fundamentally weird with the DCS wind / flight model interaction.... it seems like wind is more of a hack than actually a simulated mass of air that moves, in which the airplane flies. Anyway good that they can fix it.

That's understandable. IMO the videos are really not all that necesary, a well kept changelog and list of missing / planned features would be much better than monthly videos. Besides, nobody would be desperately waiting for video updates in search for a hope, if they were happy with their purchase. And that's the real point here. You've been trying to fill the gaps in lieu of Razbams lack of progress (which is commendable) and now the heat is on you, but it really shouldn't...surely not because of video updates ;)

16 people, lol. I personally don't think we deserve a video, we didn't pay for "monthly" updates. We paid for a high fidelity module for a high fidelity flight sim. We didn't get it, and for some reason common business to customer good practices don't seem to apply here. So, pretend you lost your wallet and stick to 3rd parties with a better track record from now on (if you can find any). Posting, complaining, reporting bugs and such will at best give you nothing, and at worst grant you a deleted thread/post or get you banned. Don't bother. There's a forum chock-full of bug reports, enough to keep any 16-people team busy for a while. My real gripe is that legendary airframes (such as the Harrier and MiG-21) are never gonna be faithfully represented in DCS, because licenses have been "spent" with 3rd parties who bit far more than they could chew.

Well, I mean, no point making a video if there is nothing to talk about... Nothing has been happening except the release of the MiG-19, which is covered in enough videos I think.

Lol, core systems are still incomplete and / or bugged, and people worry about wingtip vortexes on a KC-135 (a.k.a. not the Harrier).

the ADV- line is bugged, been reported a long time ago.

Can't tell if realistic or not, but surely I find the F-18 to be terribly unergonimic compared to an F-16 (or the A-10), starting with the hotas setup all the way to the SA page, radar and ACM. One good example is the SA page and Radar page have no direct correlation, they act like two completely separate systems and you basically have to guess if the contact you see on radar is the same you are seeing on the SA page, by looking at BRA and speed... Surely takes practice but I find my self fumbling with the mouse (pushing MFD buttons 'cause the HOTAS is pretty limited) and with the castle switch all the time.

I can hardly lock anything up in VACQ mode, other ACM modes seem to work far better. Is this normal or a bug?

Any news or updates on this point? I still get a 4 wire if chasing the ball all the way down.

Oh cool, glad I'm not the only one. God knows how much I've fumbled with MSAA, SSAA etc. to find a solution to this, but nothing really works and yeas, it happens only with the red color!

I was talking about the small "light bulbs" that are attached to each gear leg, those are always on too.

Tried a flight in the MiG-21 yesterday after a loooong time. It's as bad as i remembered, nothing changed. Worst FM of all DCS modules (haven't tried the CE2), say what you want but that scripted stall is just so 1998. P.S. why are the small gear lights on when the plane is sitting cold and dark, with no external power? Are they powered by perennial stalinium batteries?

Does it officially mean that the following effects (in no particular order): - refueling probe effect - hot gas ingestion - instability due to ground effect - instability due to intake momentum drag will never be implemented for the Razbam harrier?

This should be a pretty big one, anyone from ED acknowledged or is at least looking into this?

Very clearly explained :thumbup:

The real harrier has a thing called fast deceleration solenoid, which allows the engine to reach idle very quickly when landing vertically and with weight on wheels. I have posted about this more than once, but unfortunately no one (including razbam) seems to give a damn...

Exaggerating physics to obtain realistic physics, in a simulation??
