Will we continue to use the same damage modelling for Combined Arms as is in the current DCS simulators, or will it introduce any new features such as modelling armor sloping, penetration values and effects from different weapon systems?

Those fire and smoke effects are great

Kiowa could still work well with the A-10's, but I'm all for the AH-64. The A model is fine by me, if D can be modeled, all the better.

Most of the missions I've designed in the past and with FC and both DCS BS and A-10 have SHORAD, mostly in the form of SA-13 and ZSU 23-4, present as has been pointed out in this thread it is A: realistic to expect to come up against them as they are small fish and passive systems until you're in close and they engage, and B: it makes things more interesting and challenging! I have also placed units like the SA-10 and SA-11 in areas to prevent players from wandering off, but in a lot of circumstances, even when I write it up in the briefing "do not go here" people see the spike in the TEWS and decide that the target needs to be engaged regardless :( Not all mission designers are Dumb, or Evil for that matter, we're just trying to create some immersion!

Hmmm... I wonder... I have a little app on my iPad called Splastop XDisplay that turns it into a Wi-Fi monitor, and the latency is pretty low...

It's the DCS Battlestar Galactica mod ;)

Fantastic work, the models are amazing, keep them coming!

Absolutely, I spent plenty of time operating with Helicopters in the military and although you can hear them coming a good few kilometers away, you often only catch glimpses of aircraft passing overhead and launching missiles at them in woodland is a sure fire way of shortening your own life expectancy! :doh:

Hey guys, sorry we're a little late to the party, but the S77th would very much like to participate. Here is our Squadron patch...

With a couple of DCS A-10 community mods, the new shark certainly looks pretty in the weeds...

Fantastic level of detail in that shot of Vegas. I always hoped that it could have a very high number of accurately placed buildings over the terrain texture!

I have the same issue with "Wingman->Engage with->Armour->Guns->Default"

It works as a remote control, so the buttons in the ABRIS and the PVI work with the simulator and the ABRIS and Shkval are displayed in the lower left corner of your monito and an application on your PC, 'grabs' those screens and relays them to your iPad.

AH! Thanks, just found it!

Hey Guys, Just posted an update to the iPad it topic, but though I'd bring it to your attention here that I'm hoping to upload a version of the iPad pit configuration files to make it work with the KA-50. More details here: iPad Pit for BS

Hey guys, Inspired by Ghosts fantastic work on the DCS-A10 pit, and with a few pointers from him here and there, I've managed to hack around a little bit and create an iPad pit for the Black Shark with working ABRIS, Shkval and PVI-800 sections that I'll be uploading shortly. Screen shots below show the work in progress so far, but I hope to have it uploaded ready for the weekend :)

Great app, any chance of enhancing the data card section or adding a full 9 line card in there too?

Thanks so much for the help Speed, after running through the mission file, it's actually really simple as you first mentioned so I'll be sure to use this again. Thanks again, really appreciated.

Hey guys, I've made a simple obstacle course mission to help our squadrons pilots familiarize themselves with the Shark again after having been in the Hog pilot for quite a while now, and I'm looking to see if anybody knows a simple way to display the "time since flag" value in a message in game to tell the pilots how long it took them to fly the course. IF anyone has seen this on the forums, can they please send me the link as the search hasn't turned up too much thus far. Thanks:)

One of my S77th squad mates has produced some excellent airtime charts and checklists. I've asked if he would mind donating them to the app.

Hey Deadman, the covers arrived a week after shipping, and they're great. They fit perfectly, and I haven't had to dust them off once since getting them :) Well worth the price all.

+1 I'd like to see an option to hide the stick too.

Ditto... I'll be buying one as soon as I can get my grubby mits on one :)
