Hi does the team have any plans to overhaul the pilots along with the rework of the gazelle textures, face textures mainly?

Yes agree an S3 or maybe an SH2 seasprite. This is excellent work you have done, the Orion and the greyhound are first class and are worthy of belonging in the game as are all your units.

You can download the mod from user files section it has been updated place files in script folder and files in saved games section. The readme file explains it. Anyway it now works thank god. Such a good mod.

Yes this is true

I have read about mustangs using flaps in combat it was termed combat flaps well that’s the term this mustang pilot gave it and I assume that means first stage flaps. I find on occasions in dcs when pulling hard turns first stage flaps can stop a wing dropping, generally I don’t use them but on occasion against the 109s it can help. I also find the mustang handles better at high altitudes with first stage flaps.

I agree, in some ways I feel they took the hornet design and shoe horned it into the role it now performs. I personally have always preferred the legacy hornet.

You know I've been searching for something to adjust the colours in VR mainly in Normandy for such a long time. It got better with the last update of the map so I'd just accepted that this is as good as it gets. Read your post and thought ok I shall give it a try. Wow this is fantastic things look photorealistic and not cartoonist. I've adjusted to get my colours just where I want them. Just goes to show it was possible to do something about it. Thank you for posting.

Fair points well put.

I absolutely love the Mig -21 in dcs always have I find it such a quirky interesting module. And it just feels realistic. But since I've had VR I find its so strange to look into your seat and see nothing there and unfortunately it's got to the point where I'm only flying modules with a VR pilot body. I really hope they get round to implementing this for the Mig-21. Thanks for the continued updates on the FM.

I too started flight simming in the early 90s, the biggest revolutionary change in modern sims in my opinion is Virtual reality, it compliments flight sims perfectly particularly now we have beautiful 3D cockpits. Should you choose to go down that route.

I found a slight workaround for the A20s when doing something like an escort mission in the P-51. I set ROE to weapon hold and they hold formation and don't scatter when attacked by German fighters. only problem is they don't fire back so are easy prey but it makes it a challenge as an escort fighter. another problem I found is this stopped them from dropping bombs at a point in the WW2 carpet bombing. So I set weapon free they then attack the target but its only the leader that drops and doesn't release the full bombload just one bomb despite telling them to drop all bombs. So I set an infantry soldier inside the target zone and when he is destroyed I damage the area and set loads of smoke and fire. Quite a nice effect. Once past this waypoint I then set ROE to Hold fire and then the Luftwaffe come swooping in and I have to defend the bombers.

I can give it a try but in previous experience it makes no difference if it is set to no reaction or passive defence etc. Looking at the bugs section I think someone has reported it and has tried this. Have tried both passive defence and no reaction A20s will not stay in formation and engage fighters. Ju88s stay in formation while being attacked.

Ju88 responds in the correct manner A20 does not same mission parameters set. Works on B17 formation as well.

just tried replacing some B17s for the A20s in a mission using WW2 big formation and the A20s are reacting to threats like a fighter and go after the Luftwaffe fighters. So seems like escort missions are off the table with these AI unless anybody has a workaround for it?

It is strange sitting in a ww2 German fighter speaking American English I agree. It’s a shame as it was such a good well done mod. It’s a shame ED can’t incorporate it into the game engine.

Yeah you have to create one. So then now name a folder Sounds then your mods need to follow the correct sound structure I have placed then German speech mod in Sounds/Speech/GER/Common etc but unfortunately it is not working.

has anyone managed to get the German speech mod working again?

Yes can we have some clarification on the progress of this

Huge difference I would not expect a discount, lot of work involved in developing an FRS, authentic radar for one. Thats my opinion anyway

Pleased with how it looks but seems FPS hungry in VR.

I feel aircraft like the F14 F16 and F18 are more than sophisticated enough for us mere mortals for many many years to come, in the case of the tomcat it's a unique blend of pure flying mixed with some sophisticated systems and sensors, in some ways far more enjoyable for us, i would perhaps describe it as having the golden age of modernish combat aircraft, if the F35 is as advanced as you read it is, its hyper smart and does a lot of the pilot work load for you.

Wow your starting to plough through the pilot body work any chance you can make one for all modules in dcs missing one, just kidding really appreciate this

The first one looks like you have the dust cloud option ticked in the ME under weather settings. Have you definitely not got this checked.

having it for the harrier will mean I shall be spending a whole lot of time in the module, love that plane and its awesome for VR

It’s brilliant thanks Razbam
