    There seem to be very different understandings here as to what the word 'demand' means.

    It's easier to keep the F-14 straight after touchdown with differential spoilers (i.e. stick left/right) than with rudder, in my experience.

    @aaronwhite, the ED/Razbam dispute 'blew up' over what ED claims is a breach of contract regarding Razbam allegedly using ED's intellectual property (the API etc) to develop content for a third party without EDs consent. Questions over whether Razbam were obliged to hand over source code only arose because of this.

    My comment was directed at comments about 'decade old DLCs' in general, and the suggestion that somehow ED would be justified in no longer supporting them in 3.0.
  5. AndyJWest
    If ED continues to sell DLCs for DCS it is reasonable to assume that it intends to continue supporting those DLCs in DCS. Whether they were released a decade ago or a week ago makes no odds.

    It would help if the lights weren't almost invisible.

    I can confirm that landing on the Tarawa causes a crash, even when calling inbound.

    I'd be surprised if the frame rate had any bearing on how often the buttons were checked. More or less any simulation or fast-paced game developed in the last 20 years has separated game logic update rate (checking inputs, updating object positions etc) from frame rate (how often the display is updated). Multithreading is a thing...

    Sure, NVidia 'have you constantly as a customer'. That's what is known as a monopoly. And destroying working video cards isn't exactly environmentally friendly...

    Now you are just making stuff up. There is absolutely no evidence that Razbam were ever authorised to make anything for MCS. And nor have they ever stated that they did. It seems that ED offered an MCS contract, as a way forward which would put ED's IP back under their control, but Razbam have refused to sign. Since it is self-evident by now that you have nothing useful to this discussion, but are instead filling it up with whatever fantasy suits your agenda, I am adding you to my forum ignore list.

    That is an utterly absurd statement to make. ED reacted to what they claim was an infringement of their intellectual property rights. Any business who's sole source of income is dependent on proprietary intellectual property has to defend against infringement vigorously, or risk losing their entire business. Razbam will have signed a contract specifying the limits to what they are permitted to do with regard to ED's intellectual property. If Razbam has breached that core contractual clause (and there seems to be reasonable grounds to think they did, with regard to the Super Tucano they allegedly made for the EAF), it doesn't matter in the slightest whether it is supposedly 'MCS' or 'DCS' related. A breach of contract is a breach of contract. One that, if ED's version of events is true, could have lost them substantial sums of money, and if not acted on could result in even more of the same.

    AI doing what it does best: making crap up.

    A cambered aerofoil will generate lift at zero AoA.

    If Razbam chose to make random postings on X or discord, that's their choice, The have nothing to do with the formal negotiations the two parties should be engaging in, and ED will achieve nothing by responding to them.

    Wags' video: Mode 1 hands-off landing from 16:00 on.
  16. AndyJWest
    And it isn't new. RazBam have been making similar posts on and off from the start of this mess.

    Don't think we've reached the stage where 'court dates' are a thing. I hope not, anyway, since that is more or less guaranteed to delay things even further.

    This place resembles a courtroom in the same way that Monty Python's re-enactment of Pearl Harbor resembles the real thing.

    Ok, let's talk about it as drama. There's clearly a Hollywood blockbuster in this (or maybe a Bollywood one - same plot, but with added song and dance routines, and lots of costume changes). Who are we going to cast in the leading roles? Ron Zambino in particular needs careful thought. Do we go for Bond-villain-style over-the-top acting? Sadly Donald Pleasance (You Only Live Twice) is no longer with us, but there must be someone capable of exuding the necessary aura of evil for this style of character. Or do we go for a more enigmatic, even sympathetic figure - one who leaves the audience guessing as to who is really the bad guy. Is Johnny Depp available? He did a good job being enigmatic (and very drunk) as Cap'n Jack, and maybe he could do the same (less the booze) for Zambino. NineLIne, needless to say, will be played by Danny Devito.

    What would have been the optimum duration for it to have gone on for?
  21. AndyJWest
    Yup. I'd noticed the same thing. Most likely getting a good recording is tricky, given the levels and the inevitable vibration which is going to mess things up. Even something as simple as microphone placement might alter things dramatically, given how close the pilot (or back seater at least, for the two-seat version) is to the source of the noise.
  22. AndyJWest
    While we wait, video (and audio) of the real thing, from the cockpit of a two-seater. A whole cacophony of angry noises.
  23. AndyJWest
    Now plot sustained turn speeds and rates.
  24. AndyJWest
    How long would it take if you had to type it all in from a listing in a computer magazine, 1980s-style?
  25. AndyJWest
    Why not go the whole hog, and get ChatGpt to fly the plane for you?
