Evening folks,
First off, thanks for hosting such an active, generally positive server. It's rad to see so many folks having a good time in the air sim space simultaneously.
So, confession: I'm pretty bad at flying. I can learn the systems, get myself up there, but I have some real SA issues and since things at the 104th are a certain way, I could use some advice to help mitigate this a just bit, if possible.
I fly mostly the Fishbed, and lately the Mirage. Clearly I have some unresolved feelings toward delta wing interceptors. Either way, they both possess some unique issues when flying them at the 104th. The Fishbed is severely dependent on a GCI/AWACS. As we all know, DCS is pretty borked in that department, so does this restrict the Fishbed to basically visual ID and radar IFF currently?
Similarly, since the Mirage's IFF is not yet modeled, is the only option for the Mirage to either visually ID (which is tough, due to current model enlargement issues, but I'm also just a big blind baby) or rayguns in chat? If this is the case, are there any consistent ways to tell if an aircraft is friendly or not, visually? I saw that the Mirages recently got a set of skins to differentiate, is this also true across the board?
Sorry for the novel, and thanks again for hosting such a great server. I really do enjoy playing there, even as a total scrublord.
Thanks, folks!
