My advice is get FC3 while it's on sale. The flanker has a really nice 6DoF cockpit and will be getting it's very own professional flight model soon :) If you own FC3, you can upgrade for free because you already own the plane.

just stick to hunting A-10s and choppers :)

Funny to see that guy put in his place by Putin!

Thanks! I will try this, as the AI does seem fairly limited after a while :)

I would vote for Putin as president of the World.... he does NOT take shit from anyone!

So after reading all the material in this thread and watching a few instructional videos, I decided to give air to air combat another try. I set up a scenario in the editor; 2x Su-27 Flanker aircraft on "Excellent" skill level against me in the "F-15C" at a range of 50 miles. I was able to kill one with an AMRAAM at about 10 miles after avoiding his shots by using that theory of making the missiles "lose energy." The second one I got with my gun in a dogfight :) Is this a good way to practice? Because I often have a hard time finding servers with people on them (with decent ping) and when I do, everyone's just doing aerobatics :D I'm a total noob here, my many years as a sim pilot have been spent flying choppers or ground attack planes :P

Any idea how much the planes will cost for non backers? I would assume the same price as the FW and the P-51?

The nose guns in fighters were a great idea. Less drag and more accurate at close range!

Use the differential brakes they help a lot

reminds me of flying the Chipmunk :)

What would we be flying it against? If it's a Mustang: 190 has better visibility, but 109 I would rather fly because the K-4 is a late model plane and has much better turn rate than the mustang

Great picks ED, the one with the ship in the background is the best :)

nice

Glider? looks like one Probably my favourite thing to do, especially in New Zealand where the gliding spots are excellent :)

yeah good point thanks anyway

I would like to know this too as I was trying to get a terrorist plane to ram another plane in mid air but I couldn't figure it out. And one more thing, is there possibly a way to script the pilots of a plane to die so the plane crashes? That would work better than 1% fuel and hope he doesn't steer it into a nice field and land :)

Install the modules, then run the update. At least that's what I did. When you go through the installation wizard for BS2, make sure you select "Black Shark 2 Upgrade version" when it asks what serial version you want. And no. This is not IL-2 1946, you don't have to install all the updates one after the other :P Simply download the latest 1.2.8 version of everything and install into the latest version of DCS World. The method that uboats posted looks really simple, I didn't even know you could do that I'll try it next time I buy a new module :)

you just look at your compass. If the ATC says "Runway 14" then the heading of the runway will be 140 degrees. "Runway 6" would be 060 degrees and so on. I hope this helps :)

thanks ED, great news :) makes me with I would have backed more :P

I love this!

how do you know what's financially viable, when you have no idea of the cost of developing a DCS module?

I like how Falcon 4 did it..... the B-61 thermo nuke was cool to screw around with in SP but most campaigns and multiplayer disabled it because there was an option..... that would be best. Have a check box for mission makers to disallow the use of nukes if they don't want the player to use them.

+1

Nukes sound like great fun :joystick:
