Looks great as always, Jar!

The F-14A and B have way more in common than the F-4E and F-4S. So that argument isnt very solid. The physical appearances aside, the airplanes were not comparable. Different engines, radar, cockpits, wings, wheels... This is like the request to slap a hook on VEAOs "Hawk" for CV ops. It's not just the only difference to factor in.

Imposters have been broken or changed drastically since their intial release. They no longer work as before and dont infulence visibility for most, if at all. Your 1920x1080 resolution allows objects to be seen at a greater range than my 3440x1440 since they are more pixelated than mine and appear as blobs instead of dots.

Thank you Kirzir. This was one of my favorite CoNA schemes. So happy to see it alive in DCS. -Jeff

Thank you replying and the consideration. Still outstanding work.

I'm enjoying the first go. It's really nice to fly my F-5 and Huey over. Can I request a change in river water color? If its even able, of course. Anyhow, if they can take on a more muddy appearance? Obviously not all of them were like that, but... Here is a link to some decent pics of the terrain http://firebasenam.myfastforum.org/archive/aerial-shots-of-vietnam__o_t__t_1244.html Thank you for your work. -Jeff

Thanks Razor, learned something new.

Thank you for all the help. I'll give them a try. Now to look for some sampans. The country code for Vietnam is for liveries and their assignment.

I'm building a few quick missions using the Green Thunder Vietnam terrain and came across a couple of issues. I couldnt set the armed fast boats onto a river, only ocean. Is there a way around that? Also, what country code does Vietnam use? I'd like to set some MiGs up to fight my F-5. Thanks!

You cant set the code on the GBU-12 from the F-5. Pretty much carry and drop. It's defaulted to the NATO "1688" which the JTAC uses. And you'll need a JTAC or buddy lasing aircraft.

I love the CoNA schemes that the Legacy Hornet wore. Those two especially. Thank you! If this one tickles your fancy... http://s44.photobucket.com/user/Mike5401/media/VX-31ChinaLakeF-18.jpg.html

+1 This backwards approach to learning modules makes me cringe. Its like everyone wants to prove how bad something is, instead of seeing the glaringly beautiful work that makes up more of the aircraft. Granted, some flaws are present in the Gazelle. But many of the nay-sayers arent qualified to point them out, having zero experience in the type. "It just doesnt feel right" without a true reference has no way to help fix what problems are there. Even if you've flown a Huey, R-22 or someting else, not everything compares. When a Gazelle pilot says its fairly close, I'd accept that at face value and move forward.

Jar (VFA-113 CO) had his wife do the voiceover for the tanker.

Thank you for the work on this. To answer you, no. No A-to-G taskings were available. All A-to-A

Flew on the server last night. A couple of critiques. 1) Have a connection/ping limiter. Several "flyers" were super laggy and warping all over 2) Impose perma bans on teamkillers. Last night, some kid "DynamicFighter" was spamraaming anything in sight and had a terrible connection 3) A-to-A missions prevent any A-to-G mission from being generated. This bottlenecks things as not everyone is an A-to-A guy. We've enjoyed the server so far and have been trying to keep up with the ground missions. Even rolled into a light A-to-A in the F-5 when the mission completed or scrubbed. Looking forward to more.

And think of the design criteria behind the Tornado and Viggen. NATO confronting the Warsaw Pact. Strike aircraft needing to utilize smaller fields when the larger ones are bombed out or so far behind the lines, they arent practical.

Joined the 1.5 server and flew part of a mission last night. Checked in with the JTAC and got the 9-line. We flew F-5s, so were loaded with dumb bombs and rockets. Can you include an option for marking with smoke instead of laser? Never got to drop as the server crashed. But enjoyed the brief time we were up. SRS is a nice touch. Too bad we were the only two using it.

Great post SharpeXB. Funny is that I fly 90% at the real position you described, not back for the full FOV. Lately, I've taken to zooming in to frame the HUD so I can see targets far off. Time will tell where this goes.

Nicely put. I see your point. But higher res monitors actually hinder visability as the game renders the pixels really tight/small. So what my buddy sees at 15 miles (lower res), I'm barely seeing a dot (3440x1440) and have to zoom view. The mindset that using zoom view is ok, but labels or enhanced pixels (impersonators) are unrealistic. The obsession with being "full real", clouds things. You cant zoom out your eyeballs... In the RW air, I've been able to spot an orbiting KC-10 40 miles away using just my eyes. Fighter sized, 10-15 miles. Fast jet drivers acquire visually by looking for contrast and glints of sun. Currently, the sim only draws things out to a certain distance and doesnt use "glints". Still present, but not yet rendered. For lower res users, the fuzzy dot shows up sooner and the high res has to strain to see that same dot. Hopefully the right people will work on this and come to a solution. But simply turning it all off, isnt it.

The imposters worked great for people running higher rez and VR. Now I have to fly around with the zoom so far in, that its unrealistic.

I own the RAZBAM A-7 for FSX and you have to carefully manage the engine temp to prevent engine failure. The F-14 had stalls from the TF30 due to airflow issues. So in their own ways, each aircraft suffered from that engine.

I dont know that its currently working. In the F-5E in NTTR, previous version 2.0.5 not last weeks, none of the TACANs are operable. None the less AtoA.

+1 Smh...

It does. RShift-H brings them up. Granted I usually fly the HOT equipped M, but I'd gather the L and Mistral do as well. Which variant are you trying?
