Yes, is BS we will have the ability to place a FARP (I don't know what it stands for) I am assuming pretty much anywhere in the BS theater. I do not really know the limitations of the mission editor, so there may be hot spots where we cannot place the small heli pads, ei. next to buildings, but I know that it is a planned feature.

As I always like to say, "there is nothing wrong with it, it's just that there is nothing right either." I guess what I am sayin is that I need to get used to it:D

Ha, when I noticed the new UI, I went and looked through all the tabs and everything, and now noticed that I have a buddy list, even though it might have already been there!

what song is that, the one with the guitar? I really liked it.

How did you do the hud film, as in get the hud info, but not have the cockpit?

Well, what you could also do is program your joystick so that when you fire the trigger is will toggle the space bar 2 times. I have my flares set to go off with only 1 click, yet 3 flares fire off. Atleast I have that ability with my x52.

Are you saying that this is in BS, and if so, how do you know? Or in other words, what and/or whom is the source? Cause that just sounds friggin amazing. ' SWEET!!!!

Well, I have always thought that the radio option would be sweet. It might even be cool if we could pick up some music or something, or have a podcast or something that automatically downloads into DCS. Flying at the same time! VoIP would be awesome.

Generally, that is the way we should all react around here. Often text is extremely hard to interpret and expression doesnt come over so easily. Even just mispelling a word can throw off the meaning of the setence. Heck, half of the smilies could convey some really contrasting opinions.:D:music_whistling::doh: EX- I bougt a box o pencil and stil cant right write. Should had gotten an edumakation.:D

Here Here. My point exactly.

To in some form or another model our earth, which BS plays a significant role in:thumbup: BTW, we should be IM'ing, we have been posting back and forth like every minute!:megalol:

Isnt our atmosphere random? Atleast from what we know about it scientifically, as in not much. Heck, we cannot even predict the weather right:music_whistling: By the way, I have always wondered what your name meant (GGTharos), does it stand for your real name or something? Just curious.

Ahh, and that is where we disagree. Granted there is absolutly nothing wrong with that but I think we are kinda looking at this from different stand points. I do believe though, that if one is modelled as well as it will be in BS (Battlefield), then it can make up for the other. (Gusting winds) We will be so busy with one, we cannot focus on the other!:P

Ok, I just want to make it apparent that I have nothing in relation to ultralights, nor CONDOR, and couldnt really care partially becuase I do not even know what it is, but GG, you are not recognizing my point. Take note, that the huge multi ton aircraft are "massively" affected by wind, but the pilots in them have so much training they make it look like there was no wind at all! Of course you remember Newton's law of every action has an equal and opposite reaction? With all that air pressing on the side of a KC-10 in a crosswind landing, the PIC must input the same, if not more rudder and bank to enter a slip compared to any other aircraft, including gliders for that matter! It is even worse in the BS, beleive me, it cannot get any worse in a helicopter. Beleive me GG when I say that my lights are on, and somebody is home, so that doesnt make condor the sim for me!:D And maybe the transponder was a bad example, how about instead modeling of the the gyroscopic heading indicator deviation compared to the magnetic compass when you could just follow the flight plan on the HUD set through the ABRIS! Again, I am not saying that this technical stuff isnt needed, but if there was some type of gusting wind set, ANY flight sim would be so much more realistic than it had been.

Hey GG, I think the primary reason that wind gusts are so high up on everybodies list is becuase that is something that they KNOW is wrong in FC. A lot of people have never fired a maverick or an aim-9, but most know the forces of the air from even just driving their cars around on a gusty day. Is that not the primary force that aircraft must compete with, and why it hasnt been extensively modelled is a mystery? See, quite frankly, I agree that everything should be modelled as closely as it can, but what will I notice the most? I doubt that I will be able to tell the effects of a weak or broken transponder, but I bet you that I and a massive porportion of the simmers here will notice the effects of the wind. I especially wish the wind gusting was made apparent because I have am about to solo for my private pilot's license, and let me tell you that here in Nebraska, there is rarely a fight where my 172 isnt getting tossed around in the soup. I enjoy the detail that BS is bringing along, and I wish that hopefully in the future will will also see something that competes with MSFS in radios, and traffic. We also need to see things such as a better pilot interface, like fatigue and stuff. It is these things that will make sims heads over heels better. Don't get me wrong though when I say that BS should have this stuff, I am sure that I will accept it willingly in whatever form it comes out, becuase we have never seem anything that will have compared to it.

Ok, I want to ask about the save function in BS. It didnt work right in lockon. You would sit there, take off, save, and when you would come back to the mission it would restart itself instead of where it ended. Will it in work BS, or will there even be one?

I think the only thing that you can hope to do is convert it so it works in 3dsmax and go from there, I dont think ED has or will waste its resources making a maya to .lom converter.

Thanks for the reply RedTiger and EvilBivol, I never really thought of it that way.

I can understand the case of translating the manual and game into more languages than just english for marketing purposes, but not in the event of the delay of the sim. I mean, if it is such a big deal to translate it to those other languages, then why do they not have other sub forums devoted to the german and spanish languages? Here we just have English and Russian, so it would make logical sense for them to only sell in those two languages. If not,that why don't they just make some german and spanish forums too? Not trying to be offensive, I just find it a little conflicting...

And just to clarify, these must be modeled because we will be able to see a significant change in visibility when it is precipitating, correct? And also, what is the IFF system?

Well to disagree, I beleive that I am staying on topic, and my point is about the helicopter. What I am saying is that I find it really hard to beleive that you can make the chopper any better, that is unless you add gusting wind effects and such that would push around the craft. I am getting the same feeling as britgliderpilot. Actually I think that it would be really cool if they added some advanced pilot modeling, like fatigue, better effects and shakes for g's and explosions, but I guess saying this I am straying a little off topic!

Really, Like what are the big ones? would they be something that we might miss a lot? I just got the feelly that we were getting to the point in BS where it would almost be impossible to ever make a flight model and 3d model look any more realistic. (As in detail correctness) Without adding natural effects such as better wind and stuff...

So I have really been pumped for Black Shark, and have been reading a lot about it in the developers journal. Then, it struck me, it seems that Ka-50 will be modeled so realistically, that I am beginning to wonder what exactly if anything will be missing from it eh? Anyway, just reading that stuff makes me wanna get DCS even more!

I real life, can't the A-10 also carry mk-83s?

That, or like me just just cannot get one...
