ApoNOOB

I was under the impression current clouds are only placeholder after engine upgrade and are WIP like lights?

OP Persian Fox also has outdated Freqs (Screen&Briefing). Can you check Carrier BRCs on both missions pls? On Op Long Bong they were def. off, was very nerve wrecking in CASE III. :D edit: Yeah OP Persian FOX BRC Stennis is wrong aswell

Hey freq screenshot in OP Longbow is still with the old frequencys. Could you maybe add screen of AO's again also? Currently map doesn't show airfields you don't own and would help to have a overview screenshot of FARPs/airfields. Also could you look at CTLD settings for JTAC? I think currently they only stay for about 1 hour, which is quite short. We also had some issues with different JTACs in the last days, one in PG & Multiple on OP Long bow. Not really sure if you can do anything about it, was kinda out of the blue and on different airfields with different type of JTACs. (CTLD placed&drone) One thing I noted was one of the units blocking progress & not being spotted by JTAC was inside a crater (bomb miss) and still alive.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man This thread. Really sad to see that some of the community incapable of holding a serious discussion without bringing their personal politics into it and instantly reverting to twitter-style trolling. In case you haven't noticed, you come across the same if not worse as your declared 'political enemy'. Please ED enforce your rules, thx. On topic: Personally I dearly miss female voice overs, as was (constructively) noted by some, in-cockpit models are not really an issue for various reasons. If DCS improves in the way of animated humans I would like this to change atleast for external models (units etc.). I have ground crew, infantry etc. in mind. If this triggers people too much, you may couple their appearance with official statistics of the various armys. ;)

I don't have this issue with CTLD JTACs (MP) but was pretty sure I had the bug from the patch notes in SP with normal JTAC.

Imho not really, if they ever change the license a bit maybe.

To add on this, some 3rd party devs should use this as a wake up call to overthink their own policy.

Wow this is nuts, sorry you had to deal with that. As you can see the community stands behind you and against such silly trolling. I can understand your decision and respect it, any kind of investigation is a huge deal for anyone no matter in which country. "I have nothing to hide" is never the problem with that, as can anyone tell you that has ever had to deal with bureaucracy. But as a civi (and not even american) might I ask if content like that might be released through other means that don't leave you exposed? For example a veteran organisation, reputed aviation club or something like that. Sorry if this question is naive or ignorant, I really don't know about structures like that in the US. And I really hope I am not sounding pushy, please let me explain my reasoning. Generally, this type of trolling could affect a lot of people, now and in the future. What is to stop the next guy to get into the same trouble? What if there is other forms of harassment? For example somebody noted automated content systems, I can totally see people trying to abuse such systems to systematically shut channels/content down. But they could also pick out individuals/or groups and make trouble for them in varied (and sophisticated) ways. Reasons could be like here from: "I am a armchair general and you are violating law!" via "My module was not made/bugfixed by my dev" to "You killed me last night on the server X" Fact is in modern times people can screw with you more than ever and this is one of those prime examples. Even the threat of setting some kind of goverment giant on you is enough to make you take a breath(rightfully). But there is even a lot more that people could do, I don't want to give anyone ideas here, but let's just say it's more trouble than signing up someones email to spam or ordering lot's of unwanted pizza to your house. Maybe a good thing about this whole thing is, that we all could think about scenarios where a small minority can negatively affect the community and how we can better deal with or even counteract it. One thing, that I can already see working great is solidarity and support with victims of such actions.

Chill guys, there is probably going to be a custom failure for that! ;)

Sorry if this was covered already: Make sure that if you are attacking a heavily armed target (Tank/Bunker etc.) you drop your bombs in pairs. If you are trying to kill a T-90 with a single Mk82 for example, you are setting yourself up for frustration. :)

What are everyones feelings about Mi-8 default loadout? I have strong feelings about this heavy loadout. Currently you have Rocket Pods, UPK & Gunner 2x. For me personally that is way too heavy and keeps me from doing my job (hauling troops) effectively. Further after capturing a FARP afaik before server restart you won't be able to rearm there. Are other pilots relying on the rockets/AI gunners to clear FARPs 100%? To clarify: I am very much for a less armed default loadout, fuel 60% & UPK pods.

I voted HARM but guided bombs come second for me personally. Buddy laze & CTLD JTAC would be great for a lot of mission set ups.

Oh awesome guys, thanks a lot. Without owning it yet, I did not know that. Some buggy WIP english cockpit is well enough for me for now. Off to the shop! <3

Hey everyone, is anyone working on a quick and dirty english cockpit mod? I know official one is WIP, but honestly, I can't fly without translated cockpit and this is the only reason I am holding off. If anyone got insider news, please go ahead. :) Otherwise what is ETA for official eng language? edit: Please refrain from explaining to me that I can still use the RU version, that I need to read the FAQ ('still WIP') etc. thx ^^

The action is in MP. :)

Would love (paid) upgrade to existing modules. F-5 is prime candidate, MiG21 aswell. But as far as we know, this is not a big plan of any dev. (That we currently know of) I have seen some people going back and forth with this, and there always were some very good reasons why we don't already have this. (most is about money^^) Saddest thing with all this is, now we know next to certain we will never get a 'more recent' F-5 in DCS. :/

I already see myself orbiting for hours and marking stuff, bring it! :3

Oh my, sorry Epoch but I think that is still broken. I asked after that a few weeks or months ago, but F18&PG Map certainly came between that. I don't think somebody worked on that, if not, it's certainly not you, they are not there. :3

OP link does not work for me. :)

Oh yes please, copying from F10 map in anyform would be great. Maybe CA slot's could get kneeboard then aswell?

Not touching the MiG21, since I can't see out of the cockpit / am blinded. Lost all confidence in this 3rd party dev at this point. :/ Opinions were already made clear in the other thread.

Amen, current way the lights on any DCS ATC interaction work, just sucks. :)

There is known issue with grease, that you will have to redo after sometime. That is quite the work and a little bit dangerous. (since you can break wires, damage something etc.) The slew control on the throttle is not great either, infact I had to send a unit back when first buying it because there was an issue there. That said I still have it and love it. Take a look in this forum, this is actually the wrong section and you will find that topic discussed there. https://forums.eagle.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=96

Yeah Zhukov, all fine for you. We are just glad you are not running ED. :) @OP, I read the initial post that was deleted in the other thread and I agree mostly. @Nineline, I think you most of all learned from this situation, but a small reminder, we had something similar happen in the Harrier DRM thread. It was a thoughtless statemind along the lines "how does this problem even affect you guys?" that could be misinterpreted as "We don't care what you guys think" and blew up also. You don't have to study psychology to know this triggers people and even worse, later on you can't argue against feelings. Now when you are already in damage control mode, as you noticed, a small statement not well thought out, can add to the fire. Just wishing for a bit more sensibility when dealing with controverse issues, I know this is asking a lot. Yours is certainly a job I could not fulfill in the same way that I expect from others. :)

+1 Server stabillity is an issue for me. Yes it has gotten better, but there is still a long way to go. Not only that but the netcode has three big broken features: Multicrew, Gazelle dev said their issues have to do with latency. 2. Slingloading, it has been causing issues in MP for a long time. 3. Moving ground units, same. I will not comment on the ME side, but afaik it is very taxing for mission creators of big servers, to make engaging and stable missions. Add on top of that client instabillity/bugs etc., and server admins&players cook their own meal of grief.
