The TOW is wire-guided by the shooter, so it would be a little harder to evade. I believe it has about 3-4km range.

Sadly, a study sim means you must actually study ;)

I haven't flown at night yet; does it help to turn down HUD brightness?

I have spikes in the horizontal rotary knob on my X-52. I got it after about 2 years, though I never used it that much.

The new OpenOffice 3.0 can read docx and convert to doc also.

Very nice. Just add two small things:) A print button for the key assignments (In an easy to read diagram. It would really help when you program your HOTAS.) and a button that backs up all your configurations and logbooks.

And you used your own training skin in some of the screenshots. That will disapoint all who sees it, thinks it motivates a purchase, and then can't find it :D

So, make some nice pits for all those beautiful tank models, and we might end up with some human ground targets? How far would it be possible to go? Could you, theoretically, make a cross between DCS and Steel Beasts (I mean conceptually, not factually)?

Well, since you painted yourself into this corner; you know we'll expect the same treatment of the following add-ons too, right? :D

Ok, I got those black reflections when I ran on full shadows. On all planar there was no problem. On a side note though, is the stick in the cockpit supposed to move when you trim the aircraft? ------EDIT------ 8800GT 512MB Latest WHQL Drivers 2GB Athlon X2 3800+

Or if the tubes get clogged!

Oh, but following the link, this one was even better :lol: http://www.arrse.com/wiki/Gazelle

Get Simpeds. Love'em!

In another thread there was a link to a demonstratiom video of the Ka-50. The pilot pushed a button below his right thumb now and then. Is that the force trim button? (I didn't get an answer there.)

Every now and then the pilot pushes the button below his right thumb, is that the trim button?

It came up in a thread at SimHQ, so I thought I should post the same thing here. Will DCS use the tessellation capability of the ATI R6xx (most likely in Nvidias GPU's too in the future) to enhance the terrain, when it's supported in DX? http://www.tomshardware.com/2007/05/14/r600_finally_dx10_hardware_from_ati/page15.html

Oh yes! I want nuclear weapons, no need to aim!!

Sure, mash up DCS, Armed Assault and Steal Beasts.

Nice page, but it's missing FM 1-112 : Attack Helicopter Operations.

I'd rather it used OGL 2 (or 3 that's just been announced). I don't like Vista.

Long but interresting paper. http://www.g2mil.com/thompson.htm A funny snippet from it. In October 2000, the smart-looking aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk was “mugged” by Russian SU-24 and Su-27 aircraft, which were not detected until they were virtually on top of the carrier. The Russian aircraft buzzed the carrier’s flight deck and caught the ship completely unprepared. To add insult to injury, the Russians took very detailed photos of the Kitty Hawk’s flight deck, and very courteously, provided the pictures to the American skipper via e-mail. A Navy spokesman said that the Kitty Hawk had not been surprised, that they knew the Russian planes were not going to attack, and that the Russian aircraft were tracked almost from the moment they took off. In other words, “We were on top of things, no need to intercept, and certainly no reason for alarm.” When the Russians over flew the Kitty Hawk, the carrier was “in the process of refueling and therefore was not going fast enough at the moment of the refueling to launch planes.” It took 40 minutes for the first American aircraft to be launched, and the Russian Air Force was delighted with the results: “‘For the Americans, our planes were a complete surprise,' said Gen. Anatoly M. Kornukov, the Russian air force's commander in chief. ‘In the pictures, you can clearly see the panic on deck. One more:) According to a 2001 paper by Colonel Everest Riccioni, USAF (Retired), “The long range US Navy Phoenix missile was fired twice in combat in 30 years and missed both times – a zero return on a large investment.”
