Upgrade to F-20? :music_whistling::lol::thumbup:

The ball under the turn and slip indicator is a good one for me, also the torque meter, also your climb/dive indicator should stay on 0. As for Auto Hover in mutli-crew, it allows you to do things that you can't as a single crew, but it is still working. It allows you to pop-up from behind cover, which would be very difficult to do as a single pilot while also guding the missiles etc. I've found multi-crew to be excellent in the Gazelle.

The Tornado Marks go: GR1 F.2 F.3 GR4 That's only for the RAF, otherwise it is the Tornado IDS and the Tornado ADV for everyone else.

I really enjoy flying the Mirage. I have not got to grips with all of the systems as yet, but I can fire (most of) the weapons and I can make satisfying attack runs with the Mk82 Snakeyes, leaving a nice trail of craters along runways and roads! It may have some bugs - the Radar can be a pain, but whether that is a bug I do not know. The Deferred shading in 2.1 does make the HUD unreadable in clear skies, but this is an ED thing and is due to be fixed on Wednesday - and is not exclusive the Mirage. I recommend it, it's great fun to fly, and a challenge on multiplayer servers if you're against F-15's with AMRAAMs as you only have semi-active homing missiles.

Cool. Thanks.

Ok, so it was wrong before when there was no seeker tone (like you get with the AIM 9 growl)?

Ok, I'll try those, but I used to get a tone while it was searching, like with the AIM9, but now I only get one if I manage to get it to lock. I have locked up with the Radar and waited until I was within Magic range, but I still get no tone from the seeker head.

Hi, I've returned to the Mirage 2000 recently and I'm finding that I get no missile tone in the cockpit and I struggle to get it to lock on to anything (although if I fire one the second will lock on to the first and I get a tone for that!). Is there a switch that I am missing somewhere, or a volume knob? I'm stumped by this one as I never had to do anything other than select the Magic before. Thanks, Tom

I used the Gazelle against the Tiger, it takes two HOT missiles to the side to take out a Tiger I. T-72's no problem, one missile.

The 'big deal' is that sometimes the Steam sale is better than the DCS World sale. I have bought some modules through Steam but I don't play DCS on steam as I can't get early access modules or the updates. The problem now is that someone new comes along. Really interested in DCS and buys a couple of modules. They then find that they want to fly something that is in early release. So they go to the DCS site and buy the module. They then find that they can't play the new module in Stream. So they download DCS World from the site. They then think they'll play with all of their modules in one place, but they can't. They need two installs of the same game. Now it's not massive, it just needs to be made clear on Steam that this is the case, and that DCS is available as a stand-alone game with early access modules available in beta, or whatever. Whether Steam allow this I don't know. It just causes issues for new adopters of DCS.

Does a pit crew run out and respray it for you?

Hi all, An update from Topsy on the controls project... https://79vraf.wordpress.com/2017/04/28/update-on-replica-spitfire-controls-for-sims/

I'd love to see one of the A/G Mirage 2000's, but I bet it is a lot more complicated than it sounds. Can guarantee that it will be a new module too...but I'd buy it :)

In desperate need of work, frustrating really as to use it with Track IR I would have to to got to settings, turn off VR and then relaunch the game with Track IR running. It would be great if they could get this fixed before their WW2 Assets pack CA release.

As someone who really enjoys WW2 I'm not sure I agree. The missiles are an added threat that you have to make your best efforts to evade/avoid and if you like gun fighting then you have to get in close - so with an F-5 for example. In this arena the experienced WW2 style pilot can do really well. I like the added challenge of the missiles. For me I like flying modern stuff because of the speed, the systems and the accuracy of ground attack weapons. It's a different challenge for me to hit a moving target from 15-20,000ft in an A-10C. Most of the time the flying for me is about teamwork and enjoying the thrill with other people; when I've got that I don't mind what I am flying.

Hi, Played the quick missions in 2.0 on NTTR for the first time last night. Couldn't work out why my engine kept stopping without any input. It turns out that as soon as you spaen in the fuel cock gets shut off. Not sure why. I am not presseing anything at the time. Don't know if it is something to do with the mission? Thanks, Tom

No problem! Hoping it works out, as I'm tempted to get one too!

Wow, impressive!

Hi all, A member of EAF (European Air Force) is developing replica Spitfire controls for flight simming. He's made a prototype and is looking to continue development. More information can be found here Hope it's of interest to you all! Tom

North Africa is covered by TF and the Pacific is being covered by 777 in BoX. Italy is where it should go. A map that could be used for the Balkans and Italy, Malta & Sicily would be fantastic.

Nothing to stop a third party doing it is there? One developer making all of that but with DCS as the base. Cliffs is still great but I'd really like things like VR support. While it has been tested in CLoD there's nothing saying it will be implemented.

Reduce the pressure on the pedals and see if the helicopter spins around the axis, if yes the it's not worked, also look at the instruments.

We're not into Q1 of the financial year yet. That start 1st April, we're currently in Q4 of 2016/17.

I posted a separate thread, but probably shouldn't have. When joining a Gazelle in Multi-crew a HOT missile fires without any buttons being pressed, master arm is off and all of the camera controls are off. It can also impact on other controls for the pilot (though this does not happen all of the time)

In fact, as an addition, Master Arm wasn't even on.
