  1. No no...like I said I HATE IT when people say just check the manual. I will usually try to offer some sort of meaningful answer and then reference the manual. But I've only played with the resources a little as well and didn't want to give bad info. Cheers
  2. The resources manager and warehouse function is described pretty well starting on page 217 of the DCS manual. I am NOT just saying "just read the manual". I hate it when people say that. But in this case the manual explains it far better than I can and provides examples.
  3. LALT & ' also bring up the arming window.
  4. Who is EDSA? (I know who BST is)
  5. Same process if I want to buy Persian Gulf for a friend for his birthday?
  6. No Rage...you misread the comment. Have a nice day.
  7. Now why would you hope this? Personally, I have ZERO desire to buy a VKB stick and throttle based on the Flanker to fly the Hornet. I’m sure the same can be said about using a Warthog to fly a Flanker. The most important fact is you WANT thrustmaster producing a Hornet Stick and Throttle setup because competition keeps prices low. Fact.
  8. I'm curious why? As fR as I know D models are just trainers. There is no operational use for the GIB. (And they were a PITA to refuel!)

  10. No Dying swan act here princess...Simple fact is the AIM-120 has been removed to "Even" the playing field...That's all well and good. Huge? Yeahhhh...If you say so...But we're not talking about BVR. We're talking about WVR. By removing the Aim-120 you evened the BVR playing field but by leaving left the off boresight capability you tilted the advantage toward the aircraft capable of using it. To pretend its NOT an advantage is naive. Funny I actually did talk to several capable pilots...they all agreed...it's BS but the difference is they simply accept it. Me? Nah... I'm gonna call out BS when I see it. Nothing may change but I'm gonna call the people taking advantage of it to remind them they have an artificially imposed advantage. 80s Setup? GBU-38s were available in the 80s? Hummmmm...I don't think those arrived until the late 90s...KA-50...Not fielded until August 95...Nice try but moving on. Go back and look...I'm not whining about the LACK of -120s...I'm calling out the fact you removed BVR capability from the F-15s and allowed the Red aircraft retain a WVR capability...big difference. Yeah...I read the announcement too sooooo you haven't disappointed anyone. Here's a simple fact...I don't care I got shot down...I get shot down all the time...I want things balanced and right now imbalance exists.
  11. The only thing genuinely classified about the F-117A was its Shape and its Paint. The rest of the aircraft was mostly off the shelf components to save money. As neat as they are, the F-117A would have limited use in DCS: World
  12. No. If I had to bet I'd say it will be a contemporary of the F-18C being modeled...Block 40 Block 50 Harm Shooter. However, There is a TON of information available about the MLU program...That might play into things.
  13. I'll be curious to see what happens when the F-18 is tossed into the mix with Aim-9X... Simple fact is the F--15C lost an significant advantage with the AIM-120 and RED retained a significant advantage with the off-boresight capability. You removed F-15C BVR Capability and force it into the WVR arena where its opponents retain an advantage... To portray it as anything else is foolish.
  14. What a waste of time...I didn't understand ANY of that...BUT ITS COOL! Seriously outstanding work. When I was in the Air Force we had a Comm/Nav guy at Beale that could explain why the INS worked...Not how...WHY. He usually knew exactly what was wrong with an INS as soon as he read the write up. Tried to explain Earth Rate to me once...I just smiled and Nodded occasionally.
  15. Ya know its some unresolved BS when you take the AIM-120 Away from F-15s in the name of "Fairness" yet allow Su-27s to retain off boresight capability.
  16. in reality radar operators were terrified of HARMs. During KOSOVO radar operators would shut down the second they heard "magnum". Harms aren't wasted if they are never fired.
  17. " However when F-16C get released, it would be surprising that new players gets two jets with comparable features. Beside becoming a F-something simulator, let’s hope the company isn’t taking too much risk on the long run! " First, I'm not sure this person has a clue how popular the F-16 is and how many people are actually waiting for it to come to DCS. Second, I know many people who have purchased modules they only dabble with nearly to support ED and their endeavors. Let's face it. $50.00 - $60.00 a month isn't really that much money to spend on your hobby in the grand scheme of things. Hell when I did model railroading I'd spend that much a WEEK sometimes. I purchased the FA-18C because I like it. I'll purchase the F-14 because I like it. I'll purchase the F-4E because I like it. I'll purchase the F-16C because I WANT it.
  18. Oh everything I've seen in the last 2 days... THIS is the closest I've seen to concrete evidence.. Thanks Nineline...I'll patiently await more information.
  19. The only time tugs are used is prior to a launch when spotting aircraft for sequencing... Aircraft are taxied around the flight deck all the time..
  20. Id love to see a Block 52 F-16CJ/CG as the next Aircraft... That being said an AH-64D Apache or An UH-60 (preferably a "G" model) would be great. (UAE has AH-64s and a couple of variants of the Viper. And Blackhawks) I'd also like to see a Heavy Chopper be it a Chinook or a Jolly Green.
  21. Outstanding! Thanks for providing this.
  22. Hey Taylor... OK Are all of the parking spots the "Same" or are there different spots for different aircraft? IF they are different can you give us a diagram of what spots are where? Thanks for a great MOD! Sierra
  23. http://www.mudspike.com/dcs-f-15c-combat-guide-for-beginners/ A close second...
  24. Seriously need to cut back the number of night missions. Especially back to back night missions. ED brings out a visually spectacular map and you hobble it with missions where all you see looking out the window is black. Flying at night is more than just black in real life...in DCS it's just boring..
  25. Great mod guys. Can't thank you enough for doing this for everyone... Two questions... A.) Is this the same LHA MOD that appeared for a few days last year then disappeared? I was extremely disappointed I wasn't able to get it before it was pulled... 2.) What are the differences between the Tarawa and Wasp class of LHA. Sierra
