You're welcome, i'm very pleased to see this working too. Memphis, it should work in MP as long as you have an A.I. We know Humans never respect orders anyway. ;) thanks for the Wiki addition. I'll make more test today with deadlier sams to see what's happens.

Why do you want an entire ocean to play with? I never saw the Black sea really used in DCS atm. DCS Ships are somewhat imbalanced, making naval warfare very very hard to script. Adriatic sea can support enemy frigates (assume red side) The whole carrier group can stay in Black sea. They have the range. You need to fly by adriatic sea to come to Kosovo, and establish a safe zone before going further in land. About Korea, i didn't heard about any NATO support for South and Russia for North (nowadays at least). It's only USA vs DPRK. Moreover, Korean surrounding waters are not really used in other sims.=

- Mike, i can't reproduce your graphic glitch, so did you. IMO it's something wrong from your install (but we never know..) -UPK does not crash my game in SP. If i can gather more feedback about it... - I intend to remove the Trim oversteer, because it's more likely a "fight against auto-pilot inputs" problem -Wingman AI is more smart than ever, enjoy !! - JG... Yes, Nimitz's elevators are non-consistent even in 1.2.4. About the calc function, it's more likely a bug, but i would like a confirmation from ED too. I've checked with previous versions of BS, and here's my results : Blackshark 2 1.1.1.1 : If you look closer to the ABRIS map, you can see the airport code : Once typed in calc, calculation are done : (don't ask me how it's working. i freaking don't know) But some airports in the manual shows wrong code : gelendzhic true code in calc is GLDZ, not URKG. BlackShark 2 1.2.1 (assumed it came with DCS World) : On the ABRIS map, all airports codes are removed. Leading to a malfunctionning CALC: Anyway, i'm so glad so see a few red lines in my OP (and i consier them minor). BS is really enjoyable atm.

Confirmed. Wrong sided heat blur. Was not present in 1.2.3- Fuel quantity now needs power to be alive. Confirmed by ED in my bug thread.

Again, thank you NateIRL and THANK YOU, little unknown dev responsible of this beautiful upgrade in 1.2.4+ :wub: My Datalink guide has gone V2, and is fully functionning.

annnnd... no ! tryed it again last days and... Russian ship can only spit ASCM (Anti-Ship Cruise Missile) Fire at point doesn't work for their cruise M. So basicaly, Russia is the king of sea, USA is the king of T-LAM/S-LAM. But if you're making Ship vs ship engagement, remember OliverH Perry's CIWS is broken, and Ticonderoga"s PHALANX missiles are limited supply. 1 Moscow can kill 7 US ships without problem.

Euro Civilan Simulator 2013... interesting idea ;) but it would need a giant re-arrangement of ED terrain. If it's just behavior and advanced waypoints for those vehicles, then add Engineers => repair bombed runways and bridges ;)

If you play with google earth, you'll find Serbia/Albany a much more exciting ground. - nice hills/moutains - direct access to western Europe and NATO. - Large water + hills bands between Italy/Serbia, makes aircraft manage their fuel and load much much better + Naval interceptions. - More (IMHO) chance to see KA50+UH1+A10+F16+F18+MIG29+T72/80/90, Abrams and Leopards. Not counting Eurocopter and Eurofighter. - No real political investments. The fact in Korea, major theater was Falcon4, and playable only on the blue side. If you play the red side, then... No there's no chance i'll play North side on this one. I know it's personnal too, but i was bored pretty fast in every sand-based game. (F/A-18 3 - F/A OIF, BF3, Arma2 OA and such) Trees, fields, more trees, trees in fall, snow, grass... dunno, it smells life and nature. not a testing range. :D

You can also use your own wingmen to cover you. 159th Viper is right, if you play with line of sight, you'll win. you can follow badass for miles if you stick yourself in their back, preferably lower than them. If they're making a U turn, kill them, or hit 350km/h asap. last time i tried, AI during an engagement, is pretty dumb (160km/h max) but won't let you.

it's not the first switch they "de-implemented" (no function anyway). We can't say it's a bug, as it's clearly intentionnal.

Really ? gonna test it asap ! Actually Monkey AI is the worst bug in BS. no tactic available, only rambo style. Edit : Oh, nice, it works pretty great atm. I'll update my datalink tuto when i'll have time

Guys stop trying reshaping the world on yourselves :smartass: If ED wants money, ED can ask gently, and receive more money than selling a single hi-fi module. But ED's producers are not talking in this thread (yet?), probably for some good reasons. It would be dangerous for them to say either "no, never donate", or "OK, why not". They're already doing that kind of stuff with early beta access. but right now they have nothing to bring to us, please be patient. This thread could follow the wrong direction with time. Plus, don't try to feed the "Evil" Paypal. It's bad !

first time i tryed it, my right engine was burning. But as soldiers had no access to left side, i could took-off. Oh by the way, without EEG and full safe start procedure. I know veterans hate this, but... it works (ok, let's say 20% success /80% to killl your second engine ;) ) Anyway, for the 4rd mission (still kinda tutorial), it may be too hard. hehe

hi-rez pict implementation beta?

i have two times BS2 and A10... but i only play BS2 solo. If i buy P51D for support, i don't want them to think "oh, look P51D sales tripled this month" we'll make spitfir asap. They know almost everybody will buy EDGE and F18. i don't think they're worried about that.

Hello BS lovers. I've just fixed the mission for you. Please replace it in your campaign folder. Yes, some things changed causing infantry to hit your right side before your can start the engine. My modifications are : - INS infantry relocalized, higher skill. It will take care of RUs infantry, then RUS armors, then you. At this time, mortar should land too. - Modified mortar hit target zone (more precise). The old advanced waypoint (from BS1/2) were not recognised in 1.2.4 It's all about random, so INS-infantry may kill you whenever possible. Enjoy, this was one of my favorite mission. Auto Start procedure may not kill you. Manual emergency start (1mn15) WILL not kill you. :) Deployment04_eng.miz

Well, i think i did not really understood Matt and posts in this thread. Can a gentleman tell me what is "advanced Flight Model" compared to other titles? I understood F15C/SU27 will not look like DCS A10. But simpler, DCS-Lite F15C will be closer to F4.0 or F4AF or F4BMS / FF5 ? No i don't have FC3, maybe too much arcade-style for me. Edit : i don't blame ED if they make more money from users less exigent. If the earn $$$ to make DCS F18 and EDGE II.

Try install somewhere else then ? it doesn't consume an activation. Preload/Load is a mystery for DCS community. you may have damaged one file, but to point it out is another story. Right now i'm happy with it. 2sec preload, 10sec load. Never been faster.

F/A18C, yepeee !! the first fighter that made me love military flight simulation. Thanks to GraphSim, first nice sim game dedicated on MacOS. Next big thanks and support will be for Eagle Dynamcs ;)

Griffin's right. Trees is a problem ED can't resolve actually. I'm not sure EDGE will take care of this too. (EDGE is an Apple's secret so wait and pray.) Building sight line, i don't know for you, but i used it whenever possible. saved my life in "on the other side" and some other missions. i'm safe behind a building. For boycotting other ED products, imho, it's useless and not fair even if true BS community is a minority now. the real thing, 1.2.4 bug thread has more views and more answers than my BS topic, not counting ED team involvement. and it was created 5 days before. I'm not whining or crying about that. Sure we don't need those lights and switch to work like a real shark. In fact, BS is pretty awesome today, only a couple of bugs cripple this game. Look at my bug thread, come on, we can't say BS is unplayable atm. (but AI and shkval crazyness is some situation). I don't really use CALC, ILS, low RPM light, and i never repair my shark (i don't like to cheat, or i would use invul mode instead) You can bet ED has other priorities right now. I will still buy EDGE and the next modern fixed wing if it's not an arcade mod like FC3. (F16+, even a MIG) My worst fear is this game being clearly outdated the day a big company put a feet in sims. Fortunately (or not) Microprose passed by, and shown to everybody Military Simulation is not meant to (or bought by) everyone. :-D

I can't make CIWS to work. only missiles anti missiles are used for US' ships. 2 Pytor vs 6 ticonderoga = Pytor wins 100% Oliver and Nimitz doesn't use CIWS too

another sad day for BS. Imho, i don't think ED touches ABRIS anymore (which dosen't add bug)... so if we lost something in it, we may have an explanation one day... Carrier Elevator is still a nasty hole area. Never heard ED talked about it.

not sure to understand why people want to fly dual sits aircrafts/helo, knowing DCS is a single station player atm. can you explain me why you want to (semi) fly them ?

Well, if a good F/A-18 came out of studios, i suppose GraphSim will look closer at ED, and "maybe" develop their F-16 or just buyout ED ;) Ok i'm dreaming, or nightmaring ;)

Wwwwwwut ? don't touch my shark !
