Yeah, the missing ILS is really a pity. Doing ILS landings is fun in every plane, plus - as Snoopy said - the F-5 as "fast trainer" after the student has mastered the simple stuff in the C-101 would have been cool.

Ah, ok. I fully agree then. :)

Do you have any real world numbers on that? Because I am quite sure that a direct hit or a very close one (below 5m distance in an open field) with an ordinary Mk-82 bomb will put any tank out of service.

I imagine the Russians will be excited. Now they have the more realistic plane! :)

Take your time! I'll take slow progress over no progress any day. :)

?? I am a bit baffled by your statements gentlemen. You can use voice attack with DCS pretty well IMO. My only problem at the moment is that it doesn't understand what I am saying because my microphone is crap. I just created a very simple profile that contains (don't laugh) the F keys, so I say F1, F2 and so on, and I have the PTT on the HOTAS like in real life. I have also created a few commands as sequences, like "ground power on" which does "F8, wait 0.5s, F2, wait 0.5s, F1". So I can use the F keys for the views, and for the comms. I know it isn't as immersive, but it is easy to do and it works. :)

Your system is MUCH faster than what most people have, it could run a Rift or Vive without problems.

yep, me too! EDIT: Or extended to the east or south to get some Armenia, or Azerbaijan, or Turkey, or Syria or Iran in. Endless possibilities. It is such an interesting region.

OMG!!!! STOP EATING PEOPLE!!! ;) No seriously, thermal imaging is great. But in our case it is "just" IR. In a IR image you couldn't do that. It would just become nearly unusable during daytime in the desert (there are some reports from Desert Storm describing such cases).

Good news, thanks Sithspawn!

We'll see I guess.

Yeah, that's a pity (if it leaves modders out). But as I said before: There are more important things than textures.

Perhaps just by tone...

There's always room for improvement. :)

Yes, it has been posted to this very thread actually, a few pages back, a few days ago. :)

To be honest: The textures are fine for me. The real improvement would be a new geometry. But then, even that is not too important for me. There are much more important things to improve in DCSW than graphics.

A few days ago one of my heroes died, Merle Haggard. Here's one of his songs I enjoy. [ame] [/ame]

Perhaps not. But it sure looks cool! :)

Yeah, it gets pretty annoying. Fun fact: Recently I was standing behind a family member who also plays DCSW just watching and backseat-driving the Huey. I kept turning my head to look to the sides, it was was hilarious in a way. :D

I'll keep it in mind. :) But I'll wait a few days and let the puppy-power cool down a bit. I think it gets more effective then. (also I might get my first ban if I keep posting puppies too often :D )

Really? Isn't the mouse kind of... hovering over everything? (I haven't tried DCSW myself yet, but I watched a 3D vid on Youtube)

Well, the FLIR in the DCSW planes does not look like a FLIR picture. That causes units (even pretty warm ones, like people or trucks with running motors) to be nearly invisible on some ground textures. That's because you can see the noise in the terrain textures in the FLIR as bright (in WHOT) or black (in BHOT) spots, just as if those were hot spots on the ground. In some cases they are even hotter than the tanks, trucks or people. If you turn up contrast you can mitigate it a bit, but you never achieve something that looks like real FLIR pictures. ED has confirmed it is a problem and is working on it though. :) EDIT: See this thread and similar ones (linked): http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=158483 EDIT2: Many examples on page four, here: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=156085&page=4 EDIT3: Worst one: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2610649&postcount=38

Yes. Even if it doesn't make much sense for jets, for helis it would be super awesome! :) Also: I really hope they don't separate DCS:WWII from DCSW, because "NOOOOOOOOO!!! NONONONONO!! HELL NO!! NOPE! NAY! NEIN! NJET! F*** NO!" Seriously. That would be bad.

In a pinch I can still post a puppy. A Norrbottenspets puppy for example. :D

Oh yeah, WWII ground units! If you post a properly working 88mm FlaK I might spontaneusly start doing things not allowed to describe in a public forum, and that also might get me fired from work!
