  1. The water plume is substantially more resolved than the surrounding bridge. Photoshop.
  2. Soon....
  3. I'd agree with BFBunny. I've just reinstalled from an SSD back to a spinner, and haven't noticed any drop in performance while playing. It takes maybe an extra 10 to 20 seconds to load now. Not worth it for the space.
  4. In multiplayer, will I finally be able to scroll through the slot selection screen and NOT wipe out all the player names if I happen to be running a multi-monitor setup?
  5. 1. You will die. A lot. 2. If you kill ANYONE in a fighter that's NOT another 21, you've covered 30 of your deaths. 3. See them first. 4. Get on TS and see where the fighting is. Nearly all of my kills revolved around being in the right place at the right time, often by accident, in the weeds. 5. Turn the radar off almost all the time. Pack mostly IRs. See #3. 6. If they get into a turning fight with you, they've made a grave mistake. Punish them for it. I bagged a 15 that had a perfect escape window and he turned into me. 7. Friendly fighters that aren't 21s make great improvised AWACS. 8. If you've got another 21 with you, one of you is bait. The other is the ambusher. Those positions can change without you knowing, so communication is key. That great wheel you hear about in that Dogfights episode about Vietnam? Yeah, that kind of actually works.
  6. "Okay, rolling for take off.... hey, where'd my canopy go?" Forgot to lock it.
  7. If you tail strike during take off, you will have to apply gratuitous amounts of trim to stay level. Once you do however, you're set.
  8. I'm with Hadwell.
  9. Because having people whining in MP servers "CAN SUM 1 FLY 14 SO I CAN HAS BACKSEAT?" is a good thing... (That was sarcasm.)
  10. Is the thing even programmed to attack AI (air intercept) radars or just SAMs?
  11. I used an old square Dell LCD I had lying around and some velcro. I used the included software configuration options for both Falcon, seen here, and DCS. No custom software required.
  12. I've read the Osprey book on Iranian F-14s and some of the information came from pilots that defected and left Iran later. While fantastical, I think there's some credibility to the 1 shot-3 kill story. I wouldn't be surprised if it was true, or a lie. And the Hawk experiment was abandoned as the employment envelope was too restrictive. I think you had to be below 5k and the targets above 15k or some such.
  13. We don't need no stinking carriers.... or AIM-54... JUST MORE HAWK MISSILES!
  14. I've found that when rest my hand on my Warthog, and with no deadzone mapped to the stick, I can induce right roll.
  15. While not specifically aviation, the Atomic Test Museum in Las Vegas is incredibly interesting from a science stand point.
  16. 8) Serial: 00039 Location: Las Vegas, NV USA
  17. Video is up. If you can't see it, you need a proxy or something.
  18. ........ CONSTANT PEG.... >.< So glad Davies is on board too. Also lucky enough to have Ret. Col. Peck sign both books. Can't wait for TTR to be modeled.
  19. Yes. This is why Wiki says command guided, and the encyclopedia in-game says both command guided and semi-active, and they're both correct in their own ways. It works as you described (although the SA-10 is a poor example to use as it's a different type of system altogether). 1. TOR uses search radar to find you. 2. TOR locks you with the TER. 3. TOR launches missile. 4. TOR sends guidance commands to missile where to go to intercept the target. Personally, I wouldn't feel bad about not being able to kill all the SAM threats with an A-10 flawlessly. It's not really made for that.
  20. I'm having the same issue, however, I do not use any other keyboard layouts than EN. Can't even start from the MP shortcut, the exe just hangs. It also likes to sometimes spawn a slew of dllhost.exe threads. One time, it even asked again for BS 2 activation. Everything was working flawlessly, and no changes to my config at all, and now can't get DCS.exe to finish launching. Stops around 64mb of mem usage.

  21. I've always heard them referred to as rails, which attach to hard points.
  22. I believe the low speed radar filter is for objects with low relative speed to you, i.e. a fighter flying away from you, or one approaching notch speed. This is probably a PRF setting.
  23. I can only speculate as to the reasons why. Probably because such a system was small, and easy to maintain. Just about anywhere can get their hands on it. I read the memoirs of the MiG-25 pilot that defected to Japan and he recounted that the MiG-25's radar as well used the same liquid, and indeed, the crews would drink the stuff. Of course, if you're using coolant and no fuel, that looks suspicious. So they'd take the fuel and dump it and doctor the logs to show flying time that never took place so when they placed another order for more coolant, and the matching fuel, Supply wouldn't ask questions.
