Hat die Schweiz sich jüngst einen Flugzeugträger zugelegt? :megalol:

Die regelmäßigen Leser des englischen Forums werden es wohl schon kennen aber hier sei mal folgender Kanal empfohlen: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPqnAPcQSxyCqJ0CZu9qMmg Lex Talionis ist seit ca. 13 Jahren Pilot und fliegt u.a. die F/A-18 von Flugzeugträgern aus. Seine (bisher) drei Videos sind sehr lehrreich und er gibt (nach meinem Ermessen) einen ziemlich guten Lehrer ab. Anmerkung: Die Videos sind englisch aber er skizziert viel und seine Aussprache ist recht gut verständlich also keine Hemmungen... Einen akzentfrei deutsch sprechenden RL Profi werden wir wohl kaum finden...

It's like in the video by Lex, a mistake done by almost every new pilot. Using trim instead of throttle is natural for other planes but not for landing on a football field drifting on the ocean. BTW if it would be not very hard, everybody could do this :) Congratulations anyway, I recommend his other two videos as well. He is a really good instructor.

:doh: Maybe you try to get some more knowledge on how the modules are developed and created. If your 3d modelers are not FM specialists and coders in the same person they are unemployed until project one is finished… Great idea for a running business, right?

Hm, for me it seems that the MLA was far more common in numbers then the MLD so it would fit much better for most scenarios :music_whistling:

How about a track? Somebody in this 6-8 man group should have saved this right?

But aren't you asking to do exactly the opposite of your original intention (flying below 10K AGL, search for ground marks, laser spots, working with map etc) You ask for a weapon that hast to be dropped from a level flight at altitude. It's the same bombtruck stuff that you want to avoid with flying the A-10A :huh: Don't get me wrong, everybody should have his fun and own wishes. If this makes any sense ED will surely take this into account. I only try to understand why to create something that is obsolete (just in my opinion)... Atm the only reason I get from your posts is "because it could…" which brings us back to the senseless F-15C bomb carrier discussion-because you could… You could also do all this stuff with an A-10C without loading a TGP, JDAMs and all this fancy toys. Nobody forces you to use a moving map, or upgraded ECM's.

Maybe there is a lingual misunderstanding between us. When you are such a great fan of doing it the "old" way with maps and without the fancy JDAM and TGP stuff why using LGB's at all? Im aware that Stories are first of all stories… but show me one reliable source saying it was done and you got me on your side… My memory is not the best but since I'm into aviation stuff since the early 90's I'm pretty sure that the DS Warthogs were never loaded with LGB's. Not more not less. I can't tell what was done between the upgrades to the C-version but away from special forces stuff I have problems to understand the benefit of a person which has to crouch in line of sight to an enemy position especially in the planings for a modern day highly mobile battle environment. Maybe I'm going on thin ice here (because I really don't know) but from all stuff I heard only a small number of drops in Afghanistan were buddy lasing (none of which I heard were ground lasings). I'm open to learn something new if you can get me some information :book:

Nope, I'm no expert. For this we would have to ask Snoopy. BTW I'm not reading magazines… More user friendly stuff for the holidays… I could recommend: "Warthog - Flying the A-10 in the Gulf War" by William L. Smallwood A real good summary about life and the missions were in these times. And from my limited knowledge I would conclude if it isn't in the book (and in any other source) it never happened there… But if you just want it for the fun side of flying the A version (which I can fully understand) it would be worth an idea to post it in the DCS Wishlist thread.

Any reports from Dersert Storm or before that it was done? We had that discussion earlier with the F-15C. Because you can clamp a 500lb bomb under it doesnt mean its done on operational basis. At least from the public literature I found no evidence of LGB use by A10A during the Desert Storm, even if the plane would be able to find a laser and let some ground troops guide the bomb...

It is a FC3 aircraft. What do you expect for the small money? You get a bird with decent FM how it was flown in the 80's.

So here is what happened to me: After construction works last week in my street I was able to download the new PG map on Friday. Had some minutes before wife and kids took over the Weekend Planning. Started DCS two hours ago in a great mood to enjoy my new toys to find out i have 12 minutes left until the authentication timer has elapsed... Would it be possible to start the timer the first time I start DCS without internet connection? In 99% of all cases I don't know when my provider has problems.

Also meiner Erfahrung nach mit Bug Reports nach offizieller Leitlinie und Geduld. Geduld ist die Ressource die am knappsten ist, vor allem in der Community. Da viele zumindest einen Hauch von Computerkram verstehen sollte klar sein das bei so einem Spaghettimonster von Programmcode der sich bei DCS über die Jahre angesammelt hat selbst der Fix einer Parkbremse oder eines Lichtschalters manchmal zu üblen Konsequenzen führen kann. Wenn man nebenbei ein halbes Dutzend Drittentwickler managen muss kann es auch mal passieren das sich dabei alte (defekte) Programmversionen einschleichen... Wenn Yoyo&Co mal zwei Wochen keine Pistole auf die Brust gesetzt bekommen glaube ich nicht das sie anfangen rumzugammeln und Papierflieger vor Langerweile zu basteln...

Vollkommen richtig. Das meiste neue Material was an die Truppe ausgeliefert wird, ist auch nach Jahren noch deutlich fehlerbehafteter als die meisten DCS Module in der Beta. Ich kann nicht im Detail für alle Luftfahrzeuge sprechen aber zumindest vom NH-90-NTH ist mir das sehr gut bekannt.

Ich glaube wir sollten alle entspannt bleiben. Ich erinnere mich auch an regelmäßige Patches und Hotfixes, das war mal anders und wird sicher wieder anders werden. Bitte nicht vergessen, die F-18 ist nach der A-10C wieder die erste große study level Sim (ich zähle die L-39 nicht mit, ehrlich) und daran wird das Studio die nächsten Monate/Jahre gemessen. Das sie jetzt alle Ressourcen in den reibungslosen Release pumpen kann ich voll verstehen. Die Alternative wäre die Patches von 7-8 third party Developern zu sortieren und diesmal vielleicht die richtigen Versionen hochzuladen (ja, auch ich stecke mitten in der Gazelle Kampagne mit nem schwarzen Monitor). Ich lasse den Jungs aber erstmal ihren Frieden, dann in anderthalb Wochen ihren großen Auftritt und bin optimistisch das wir ab Juni/Juli wieder zu einem regelmäßigen 1-2 Wochen Patchmodell zurückfinden.

Amen! Nach ein paar Jahren des Wartens sollten 12 Tage ja wohl machbar sein. Außerdem kann man sich ab nächster Woche schon mal mit der Geographie der Straße von Hormuz besser vertraut machen:smartass:

Dieses WE macht der Youtuber CrashLaobi mit Wags noch einen Livestream. Daher höchst unwahrscheinlich das vor nächster Woche irgendwas passiert...

Thx for the reminder :thumbup:

I don't remember who of the half dozen of Youtubers with a pre release copy it was but one of them advertised he is doing a livestream with Wags this Weekend so I wouldn't expect a release before :music_whistling:

If I remember correctly everyone else was banging on ED's door to release 2.5 no matter what the state of the current version was. Blinded by some screenshots and not patient enough to wait for some more weeks/months :music_whistling:

Sorry guys but the old system is dead, at least if you have seen the screenshots from the new map, even at night. There is some work left regarding the lighting issues but Wags said they will port the new feature also to the other maps. While there may be a reason to complain from the performance side we will see the integration of Vulcan and let's be honest, we are playing a top level flight sim so if anybody gets here and asks why it doesn't run on his 5 years old notebook without stuttering :music_whistling:

Ich habe das PC360 von Sennheiser. Ist auch im dreistelligen aber wie auch schon beim GameOne erwähnt jeden Cent wert. Ich nutze es seit 4 Jahren ohne Probleme und habe selbst den TrackClip Pro dran.

Please play a mission, save a track afterwards and upload it to this thread. You don't have to create a video. Without your track we can't judge what happened.

Yeah but he is right. We could blame the server admins for switching to a test version but not the developers for a beta containing bugs.

Will there be a chance to get this in PDF format like in other campaigns?
