Brisse

As a big car enthusiast, with an affection for Saab, I'm starting to find this thread really offensive. I've had my feelings hurt numerous times now.

The module page was always like that. The "mid" part was written by the devs on the forum, and they have repeated it numerous times, even very recently.

That's exactly what was going through my mind, lol :) On topic: Anyone think today is the day? I'm sure going to come here and check at least once per hour.

Haha, I hate moustaches. :) Either one shaves completely, or one wears a full beard. There's no in between.

Mirage 2000 before it got the refuelling pipe in front of the cockpit is just one of the best looking aircraft ever.

You surely mean the A-10A, not the C. Not click-able at all actually. FC3: Simplified systems, no click-able cockpits. DCS: Fully modelled systems, click-able cockpits.

Thanks for clearing that up. First I thought the number was for the Viggen only, which for obvious reasons sounded crazy. If it's the entire SweAF during the 20th century (almost their entire history) then it makes sense.

Actually, swedes use those sometimes in spoken language. We say jaktviggen and attackviggen. It's pretty common actually.

And here I thought the MiG-21 had a bad track record of lethal accidents. If this number "600" is true, then the Viggen is much worse. But then again, how could it be true? There were only 329 Viggens built. Did every airframe kill two pilots during it's service life? I highly doubt that.

So in plain English, it wasn't just a fishing boat, but an undercover SIGINT vessel. It makes sense now. :thumbup:

I don't doubt your story, but I gotta say that is a strangely irrational response by the Swedish air force. The fishing boat would not be committing a crime by drifting into Polish territorial waters while in distress. By international law (UNCLOS), any ships in the vicinity, including Polish navy would have been obliged to assist the fishing vessel. By sending the Viggen's, the Swedish air force risked escalation for no reason.

Most likely I think you uncle encountered unarmed recon and attack Viggen's. Since he served up until early 90's, the JA would have been in service during his time too, but I don't think he would have encountered it very often unless he was approaching Swedish airspace. The JA flew armed and closer to Swedish airspace. They would often be in the air at the same time as the unarmed planes flew further away, but they stayed behind and loitered, acting as a QRF just in case anything were to happen with the unarmed planes pushing further out from their bases.

This is not the Mirage-thread. This is the Viggen-thread :smartass:

About spotting in VR: I think ED should use the new model enlargement setting and give it a dedicated setting for VR, which is only available to VR users to avoid people with monitors using it as a cheat.

You need to do a reality check. Going up against these with the AJS is suicide. Try MiG-21bis, F-5E, F-4 etc... Those are going to be somewhat balanced encounters for the AJS-37.

You mean the new Star Wars movie? Yes, we are there. As for the Mirage, Zeus already told us it's not going to happen today.

Those players aren't the problem. The problems are those few who intentionally teamkill.

Not quite there yet, but it seems likely that it will happen, judging by what Polychop have been saying in this thread.

Yes! Well said jeffmaysefaith79 :)

:thumbup:

Missiles are different from the rest of the aircraft because Razbam asked ED to implement the missiles so that Razbam could use them when testing and developing the Mirage. I don't think we should take it as some kind of hint that release is imminent.

He didn't say that. Mid december would be this entire week and weekend which has barely started yet. :)

Yea, I had a feeling after the last newsletter that it wouldn't happen that weekend. Wouldn't be surprised if the next newsletter focus on the Mirage though, maybe conveniently timed together with a release the same day or shortly after. :thumbup:

The rules are slightly confusing. I understand it looks like it's 20%, but that is what you receive in bonus points when buying a module. Try adding a module to your cart and go to the checkout page. Click the pay with internal account button to see how much bonus points you can use. I did this with the L-39C just now to double check, and it takes it down to 35$ from 50$ which is 30%.

I'm pretty sure it's 30%, at least it was when I bought the NTTR map two seconds after the pre-order discount disappeared. I saved ~5$ by NOT pre-ordering NTTR. :pilotfly:
