During ILS approach 2 Mirages were on the runway in front of me. I land successfully behind them, enter the taxiway, and the Mirages enter the same taxiway ahead of me and turn for a collision course. I stop, but they ram me anyway, and I die.

If you create a multiplayer server without forwarding the correct port anyone on the same LAN will be able to see the server, but not anyone else. Why bother with Hamachi?

Sad but true. For the AI there is a simple hierarchy of what beats what, no matter the skill level you set: Spit>109>P51>190

The newest add-on module for the DCS Mig-21bis:

This. Give me a consistently populated server for WW2. I don't care if it's airquake or whatever. We would be lucky to have airquake. Then there might actually be someone to fight.

Magic II on the mirage is better than the aim-9p in dcs.

Canopy is a filthy mess in open beta. Can't stand to fly it.

Funny that the one of the best F-18 videos for DCS is on a channel usually reserved for Star Citizen. I've been watching Jarus' journey into DCS with some interest. I don't watch much youtube but his stuff is usually worth a view.

+1 It's an excellent choice, and it carries gbu-12s.

I've spent the most hours in... Mirage 2000 Mig-21 ...and all of the WW2 modules. The only module I (kind of) regret purchasing is FC3, e.g. Su-27, F-15, etc. Many seem to enjoy them, but they're not for everyone.

Good advice here already. I'll add that if you're trying to train with the instant action mission it is frustrating because the tanker begins turning if you're not quick at it. I went into the mission editor and doubled the tanker's distance to WP1 and now all is good.

Agree shagrat. Right now the F-18 loses lock with even small control inputs. It will have to improve in that respect so that cranking is possible. It seems like a happy accident that the F-18 cannot equip the Aim-120 for a few weeks (months?). Otherwise the Aim-7 would never have received so much attention. :)

Sale! There's a sale on right now. Was this announced?

Heh, fly the Mirage lately? It's better than the F-18+Aim-7, but if your target notches below the horizon you will lose lock, every time. The days of boy-scout radar in DCS are coming to an end. I can't wait for the FC3 planes not to lock me up while I'm on the taxiway.

When I used to practice with this mission I had the same frustration. Ultimately, I went into the ME and changed the mission so that the other Mirage is in a separate flight. Then he engages as he should.

IFF isn't in the manual and I'm too dumb to figure it out. What am I supposed to see now?

It's an issue with lack of aaa and sams.

Great news. We need more DCS level Russian aircraft. I will definitely pick this one up.

Lighten up, dude.:music_whistling:

16 days old, if this is a necro, I'm sorry. On my old machine I uninstalled the nvidia drivers so I could use an extra AMD card I have. Of course, the nvidia hdaudio driver did not actually uninstall and conflicts with the AMD hdaudio driver. I remembered the name "driver sweeper" from the old days and see that it's called DDU now. Should I give it a go? This other machine still runs Win7, so I hope I wouldn't run into an issue like the one above.

More buttons on the HOTAS makes you more *competitive,* that is why people prefer it. It does not increase the fidelity of simulation, and can even become a kind of negative-training if you need/want to know the aircraft's systems.

I have to give a nod to the pilots on this server. I only saw one F-18 team kill in about 2 hours of play. Good to see people actually confirming before they shoot, even without IFF interrogation.

Tired of previews, trailers, teasers...:yawn:

Thanks for the great PvE server! Just a heads-up about the Hornet, the team kills are a little out of hand with the F/A-18C. Just my opinion, but maybe the "kick back to spectator" doesn't send a strong enough message.

Sounds like sour grapes to me. Are they flying FC3 planes on this server?;)
