Morbid curiosity - I am not challenging, because I have no indepth knowledge to even pretend to challenge with... How did this happen with the A-10C and the Ka-50.. both are still operating; F-14D is done and gone yet still classified? How can that be? Are ground pounding aircraft less classified than fighters or something?

Anyone see my AT-802U in there? I might cry if that thing is (still) only a joke...

To me it feels like the ground actually has some friction now. Before it was like the aircraft just slid on ice. I asked not too long ago if something changed (with the WWII aircraft in particular) to affect takeoff but Yo-Yo said nothing. Dunno, maybe we're all just better virtual pilots...

No, i saw the one left of the sight as well. I couldnt place it in pictures i found earlier. Maybe this is not the cat im looking for and it is indeed a corsair. Theres always tomcat instead for cat. Corsair was not a great carrier plane though, right? Mostly Marines from land?

What makes you so certain? The instruments are very similarly laid out and that is a feint picture. Convince me :-p

There is a faint cockpit on the left side. Looks like F6F or F4U to me, but I side with F6F based on their 'cat' hint...

Demonstrate mig-21bis landing with keyboard only please

I personally just put the address where the info to connect can be found in the server name, like "78th DCS Attack Squadron http://78th-dcs.com". I'm hardly the first person to do it, but it seems like a good idea to me. That way people wanting to connect they have a pretty good idea where to start. It'd be a pretty cool if the server setup could optionally take and display a squadron url and/or Comms url, that way people could fill it in and it would be more visible and easier to find. That doesn't seem that hard to me, but I'm sure it's hardly a priority to ED.

I think there are some kind of 'standard setup' for a typical military airbase, etc. So many AAA at such and such ranges, Long/Medium/Short Range SAM's at their locations and ranges as well, to create a proper umbrella. I seem to remember seeing someone posting something like that, at least for Russians at some point, though I have no idea where off hand. It would be nice to flick the airbase Redfor or Blufor (as we can now) and choose air standard air defenses for a given country. But yes, even having a patriot, hawk, sa-11 or whatever template would be good too, so everything needed and likely to be seen together would populate, and you just move it around a bit as you like.

Possibly. I mean you could easily copy a layout, or set it up once the way you like it and paste it. I made a wishlist/request once for templates for things like FARPS, ship convoys, airbase sam defenses, armor convoys, etc. You could just populate a miz with all your favorite templates and copy and paste them where you need them. I do wish we could flick an airbase one way or the other and check like a 'standard defenses' and get some reasonable approximation of a realistic airbase defense set up as far as armor, SAM's, AAA, etc. for each. It would ease populating a map. re: avatar, thanks. I usually use Hudson as my callsign/name in multiplayer. Love that universe.

I copy and paste all the time. Ctrl-c ctrl-v. You can shift click a gaggle of units and do the same. Between missions too. Shift click units, ctrl-c, open different mission, ctrl-v, life is good.

Any update to Stable or Open Beta is ALWAYS announced in the Official Updates sub-forum. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=135945 Jan 16 OB Jan 21 Stable All that was changed between Open Beta and release was a manual and logbook fix. Would ED have stopped the release if they were alerted? I can't say, but you had time to test. You as a hoster were in no way prevented or discouraged from participating. I host a dedicated server as well. I was able to test. I'd love to sign an NDA and be a super secret ED tester, but the argument that hoster = special attention is a pretty weak one to me.

@Op if you want to know when there are beta ipdates maybe subscribe to the news forum? Maybe even uses Tapatalk or something to get push notifications. Then you'll know when there is an update? Then you can check it out ASAP without expecting ED to notify you personally and wait for your approval?

Want/Need all relative.

I use Shadowplay now. I used to use Fraps, but it's mostly redundant with Shadowplay now. There are rare occasions I use it for screenshots where games don't offer it and printscreen doesn't work (the DCS Mission Editor being a relevant example here) since I have it from long before the time of Shadowplay. Shadowplay is obviously only good though if you have an NVidia card, though if you do it has that nice price point of free. I use Handbrake for transcoding to reduce video size before uploading it to Youtube so it doesn't take all bleeding year long. It's free. Youtube has a bit of an editor at https://www.youtube.com/editor that I will use to do the minimal editing I might ever want to do. Video editing is not really my thing though, so there may be better options. Also has the plus of being free. I like that price.

It would help to know what Alabeo and Cabeceo translate too. Google gives me 'warping' for one, so that's not helping. If they are pitch and roll unmap the throttle x/y from them. JOY1_SLIDER, I believe is the smaller slider to the right of the actual throttle; you may want to set that to your actual throttle control? But that's up to you...

Also to you and everyone else who finds themselves improving too! :thumbup:

Frightening! :)

Has something changed in a (fairly) recent update to make takeoff and landing of the Fw 109, Bf 109, and P-51 easier? I double checked and I definitely do not have any takeoff assistance or auto rudder on for anything. That said I find aircraft a lot less prone to wandering all over the runway, less bounce in landings, and in general just everything to do with leaving and getting reacquainted with the ground easier. I am curious if my technique is better (which seems unlikely given my lack of practice) or if the dynamics have been changed?

Yep. Given that it sounds like there are two flight models involved, and given the work everyone keeps saying that takes, no complaints with the price (and the awesome opening discount). And for people bringing up the Huey/Hip I think the big part you are missing is that the AFM/EFM whatever is shared between them. If I'm not mistaken the EB and CC have different engines and are probably different enough to require different flight models. If that statement is confirmed as true I don't see how anyone really has a leg to stand on to complain.

Which brings up the point, doesn't the CC even have a different engine, so flight dynamics may be fairly different, actually requiring two EFM's?

Downloaded installer doesn't seem to play nice with openbeta. Say is needs 1.2.14.36041 installed. From starting up both it looks like they are both the same version. Tried copying the module folder, no dice. Get the same error as everyone else trying to use the module manager. Oh, the humanity!!!!

WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2297541&postcount=9

Possibly not. I may have skimmed it. I may have just hit that little arrow that points down/right that goes to the last post. When there are 38 pages of comments I don't read every word... I wish I had time, but I don't.

Unexpected by me, who did not see that announcement. Better? I think you could have construed that...
