ok Bought it

Will the Shilkas and Tanguskas have a rudimentary Radar for 1st person action or is it all line of sight?

Hah Thanks Ether Was thinking more about the SU Laser guided bomb. Thanks.

Ok let me rephrase this. Will the Russian JTAC have the ability to lase for the SU or KA.

Another question. Will the combined arms commander have the ability to command units that activate after the game has commenced. So let say a unit does'nt activate for 15 minutes after the mission starts. Can we take command of them?

ok the $65 question is will the Russians have a FAC/JTAC capability for the Ka or SU?

Friggin awesome people. Cant wait to get my hands on this one. Was fun in the old beta and now cant wait for the new and improved.

Ive found the autopilot modes to be extremely important in this aircraft. Fortunately I have a Logitech keyboard that I have mapped the autopilot modes to. In particular the mode that autocenters the aircraft is extremely helpful if your aircraft get totally out of trim. Learn the autopilot mode young padawan and you will become one with the Frog.

Well I am thoroughly enjoying the SU-25 these days. Its a challenge to fly with all the ordnance on board and a challenge to find targets but with a little practice it can be done. Ive finally got my cougar set up to handle all the intricacies of the plane. I would love to see this aircraft looked at again in the future and brought up to DCS standards. Id be the first in line to buy.

HI all Searched hi and low through the forums and cant find how to use the LLTV. Ive seen post that say you use it at not etc but no instructions on how to activate it. Do you just turn on the schval with the lltv pod and it automatically goes to Low light/IR?? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi all Thanks for the replies. Ah yes I did view the new directory tree and it does look like there are discrete entries per airframe. Duly noted. Look forward to seeing how the data resides when BS2, A-10, and Mig-21 integrate. (Im a huge fan of the first two and in particular BS2) No not implying substandard at all. Your right those previous titles are very old and Im sure at the time there was a conscious effort to present the electronics as is. My interest is most definitely in new aircraft at the fidelity of both BS2 and A-10. My worry on A-10 is wasnt that purposely built for a military client then ported to civi use thus giving us a huge gamit of systems that might not have otherwise been included? Will others have access to the resources that DCS had in making that sim as far as how systems work etc. in particular radar. Id hate to see a new version of the Flanker come out with the same 10 year old systems. Anyways just food for thought. Look forward to flying with everyone on the net.

A couple of thoughts came to mind as I get my mits on the new DCS world. First of all I love the idea of an open world. I think its going to be great for the community and this brand. Two things that Id like to get more clarity on however. 1. Mission making. Will there be a clear mechanism to let people know what vehicles are in a mission. Im sure in the near future there will be a cornacopia of jets and planes to choose from but how will we know if we have the right ones to fly in the mission. Since we will be buying aircraft piecemeal not everyone will have the same set of aircraft. Mission making could get tricky. 2. Aircraft quality. Is the technology available in this system to bring the electronics closer to real world level. As we know the Su-27 and 29 radars were very rudimentary compared to other products such as Falcon. I hope people will take the time to model their products carefully and bring them as true to life as possible. Otherwise this product will turn into a re-dress MS X. I love it so far and its a nice opportunity to fly the SU-25 again. Keep up the good work. DCS.
