737 Cockpit gunfights with terrorists? That's not really a "fighter jet" as much as it's "Fighting inside a jet". That would be funny though - to have players trying to fly a route, and then it turns into an FPS suddenly and without warning haha

"Sea Wiz" LOL CIWS - Close In Weapon System (just pronounced C-Wiz).

TOWs and 120mm firing FULL AUTO in multiplayer.

Agreed. Worth every penny.

Now that we've got troop carrying Hueys with door guns, I'd like to see a very simple suppression function - one that makes infantry units drop to the prone and stop firing for X number of seconds if a bullet passes within Y number of feet of their location. It would be cool to actually use the M-60s to provide funtional covering fire for friendly troops that are mounting/dismounting the helicopter.

8 players - 8 Hueys, one big attack run on a set of enemy vehicles.

That's what it does in game. Actuate whatever axis you have "corrector" bound to, and watch the throttle on the collective. It twists.

First flight was a bust because i didin't realize that the throttle was bound to the second throttle of my TM warthog. Got an RPM warning as soon as i tried to add collective. So i quit, fixed the axis setup, then started a flight at Batumi and went to a destroyer i placed off shore and managed this on my first try: Very, very wobbly though, i think i'm going to have to play with the curves a little bit.

Bought, just made first flight, very shaky, but no crash!

Wags stated a while back that Nevada had been put on hold for a while in order focus resources on other efforts, but had since resumed development.

Even better timing in that it would be exactly one year to the day since the last new aircraft was released. Great. Now i'm going to be on F5 duty for the next few hours. Well done. :cry:

Given historical precedent, there's no reason why a monday release couldn't happen. Heck, the P51D was released at about this time on a sunday almost exactly one year ago (It'll be one year to the day tomorrow). 1.2.3 update - Tuesday, 26 Feb 2103 (11:22am EST) 1.2.2 update - Thursday, 8 Nov 2012 (12:50pm EST) FC3 pre-purchase - Thursday 8 Nov 2012 (2:15pm EST) 1.2.1 update - Monday, 1 Oct 2012 (5:44am EST) 1.2.0 & Combined arms - Tuesday 10 July 2012 (7:19am EST) P51D pre-purchase - Sunday 29 April 2012 (2:20pm) Who knows, maybe it's coming in a few minutes! :D

Every time i see this thread bumped i get my hopes up. I really want to have my revenge by bumping the "It's here!!!" thread :devil:

So, has anyone heard any info about what the map sizes might be with EDGE? It would be interested to know, so we could speculate further about what sizes the future theaters might be.

Honestly, i don't think most people outside of Greece and Turkey view the aegean as a hotspot. I think they'd be catering to a very small number of fans by exploring that option. That's why i didn't include it - would be kind of like me suggesting a Quebec vs Canada scenario. Not really in the forefront of most people's minds outside of that region.

That would be cool for DCS: B-2. Unfortunately, I've never heard a hint of this being planned for DCS. It can clearly be done though, given MSFS and X-Plane.

I don't think it's pointless. Sure, it will be a while before we see any maps, but it's still interesting to discuss.

While hearing about which maps they're working on, and which are planned for the future are on the top of my intrigue list, hearing more about EDGE is definitely a close second.

I'd personally love to reenact Gulf war and OEF carrier based strike missions. It would be fun to launch in a hornet from a carrier, fly through the night to Baghdad, drop your bomb on a bridge amidst AAA fire, then come back for a carrier night landing.

Warping ground units and ineffective flares? Sounds like added challenge to me ;)

He should get a GoPro and record one of his flights so a direct video comparison can be made.

news to me.

Very mature. I'm actually inclined to believe that the person crying "I want my video game now! Not later! I don't care if it's finished! Gimme gimme gimme or I'm taking my money elsewhere!" is in fact the one who still lives with mum.

(beer # 6) ....having said all that, lets' go, make with the Huey! j/k
