    I regularly see/hear E-3A's, as Geilenkirchen's downwind leg runs right over our house. I still walk over to the window every time
  2. Perhaps do some research before stating nonsense... https://www.f-16.net/f-16-news-article4444.html (amongst others) oh, and before that, they operated from Kabul... Anyways, I can't wait to fly over Afghanistan! Although I wish ED would first finish and release their DC, as imho, currently we are too dependant on user created content (missions/campaigns)
  3. Not at all very important, but I was just wondering: The Supercarrier module menu background (the hangar view) runs awful on my pc in VR. It brings me back to single digit fps. Anyone else experiencing this? (or is this maybe a known issue?) I know, my pc is quite outdated for VR, but believe it or not, it still runs DCS very well. I don't have any stuttering or low fps with any of the other menu backgrounds, and even ingame I hardly ever experience unpleasantly low framerates (of course I tuned down my settings quite a bit). For now, I just switched to another background screen, but I'm curious if it's normal that the Supercarrier Hangar background view is so much more demanding than for instance actually taxiing on the Supercarrier deck in a mission.
  4. I don't think anyone will disagree here. (Supercarrier AI aircraft already do this, so it's probably just a matter of time before we see the same features for land based operations) There's much more to improve in regard to AI procedures. Like flight members waiting for each other at the active rwy apron, instead of in their shelter, the ability to have AI make touch and goes, properly implemented holding patterns, etc. All this goes hand in hand with proper ATC procedures (approach, tower, ground, departure). I can only assume ED is developing all this in the background.
  5. Seems I cheered a bit too early and, as I see now, didn't properly read @Gunnar81's reply. I've been fiddling with the special MPCD gain and contrast options, but now, either my left EHSD mfd is waay too bright, or my right tpod is unreadable dark.. I don't really understand why all this has been implemented by Razbam in the first place. This used to not be an issue when the module was released (just like this isn't an issue on any of the other ff modules). Has all this at some point been explained by Razbam? Sure, it's not the end of the world, but why did Razbam change this while it.. well.. didn't need change? Fwiw: I'm using a Reverb G1
  6. Apart from ED, nobody knows any details about the DC, so you won't get anything but guesstimates from the community at this time. My guess/expectation is, that we'll be able to edit individual DC missions, similarly like we can with Liberation Campaign. But this guess is based on nothing at all..
  7. @BIGNEWY or @NineLine, this issue has been going on for a long time now. Can either of you notify someone from Razbam as this bug has yet to be acknowledged by them. This bug is pretty annoying in VR
  8. No, Amman has recently been added! To my utmost surprise I may add. Al Azraq AB was requested by several people, including me, but I never expected Ugra to also add this massive city. There have been some complaints in the past in regard to lack of bug solving and response (ahum... kneeboard.. ), but imo Ugra redeemed themselves. This last update was truly impressive if you ask me.
  9. I suppose the OP is referring to first having to bail out Fwiw, my 2 cents regarding this wish: I'd rather see ED's resources and efforts spend elsewhere, instead of modeling "walkarounds" and/or "being able to walk from a briefing room to an aircraft"
  10. I think the OP is asking for a few emergency service units to be added to the core game (a wish I wholeheartedly support btw). You are probably talking about an unofficial user made mod. (there's some true mod gems out there, for sure. But many of us stopped using mods all together, as they can cause trouble/errors after official DCS updates and require troubleshooting to fix afterwards)
  11. Now that you mention it This must be where Tesla based their design on All this time, ED has been two steps ahead of us!
  12. I don't get it. Are you suggesting that this model is outdated?
  13. For AI (emergency service) ground units being able to drive to a crashed aircraft/helo, we'd need something like this:
  14. Hey all I recently picked up the AV8B again (after a long time pretty much only flying the Apache) and I'm now it the process of training refreshment Forgive me if this was asked already, but I can't remember this from back in my DCS AV8B days. When I select my tpod, the screen by default is completely dark, as in, I can't see anything (apart from the tpod symbology). Only after holding the gain button below the mfd for a few seconds, the image starts to appear. This happens both after cold and dark startup, or when I start hot. Is this normal behavior? Or am I missing some way to quickly get a properly visible image? Does the jet irl "remember" the mfd gain and contrast settings?
  15. If this is considered, please make it optional. As I, for one, rather see a black screen instead of a 1fps stutter and glitch fest
  16. Bit (very) late to the party, but thank you so much for adding this base!
  17. I wonder about this too. After updating, I still see references to OB (maybe it's only some folder and shortcut names, but I'm not sure). As a DCS "purist" (I don't use any mods for instance), would it be wise/better to do a complete reinstall? @BIGNEWY, can you advise us perhaps?
  18. Fwiw, between Sinai and NTTR, my vote goes out to Sinai I have a very old system and I play in VR, but Sinai performance for me is really good actually. Much MUCH better than Marianas for instance (although somehow that map runs really poor here) (and no, I don't use any mods). NTTR is 8 years old (correct me if I'm wrong), and imho, it shows. Terrain textures are pretty decent, but the scenery (builings) is outdated, the map is relatively small and there's no sea (which doesn't have to be a problem if you don't fancy naval ops). I personally don't find it worth the full price and I even find the discount price is a bit steep. But as you read in other replies, some find this map awesome, so it's very much personal preferences. My favorite map is Syria. South Atlantic is also beautiful, but I find it less suitable for helo ops (which I slowly came to like most in DCS).
  19. This should of course come with a fully animated ground crew model (including sweat) Or 2 crew members (we used to attach a long rope to the manual pump T-bar. That way, standing on both sides of the MLG door, we were able to share the load )
  20. Just rescued a bunch of folks. Wow, there's a lot going on in Batumi Any chance on a Sinai and/or Syria version? Those maps with all the large cities, nicely detailed scenery and many helipads (including proper hospitals with rooftop helipads) will do excellent with this scenario I think.
  21. Well, I haven't checked for a while now, but it certainly used to work with values less than a second. Did you try both , and . as decimal? (E.g: 0.5 and 0,5 sec)
