  1. F-5A is a great idea. It's really missing for the Kola map. The F-5 was popular in NATO, but never the F-5E -- they all used variants of the F-5A.
  2. I think you can already fly from Nellis to 34.5553° N, 69.2075° E, so nothing new?
  3. What I noticed is that the Su-25 seems to go through all the buildings without destroying them.
  4. Can you make this available again? Download doesn't work
  5. Is it really more flight model related, and not collision model?
  6. As Northstar98 already said, there is quite a bit of Afghanistan in the Persian Gulf map (full extent not shown below). I have been making a campaign where the US strikes Iran and part of Iran's strategy is to strike US and allied positions in Afghanistan. The missions are from the Iranian point of view. I started this mission pack years before the strikes that happened last week. But yea, you can fly over Afghanistan right now but the terrain isn't great. But if I wanted to fly over Pakistani coast to get to Afghanistan, then this level is all that is needed.
  7. Since when has any DCS map had full detail in every area? How demanding is mostly flat, low resolution terrain? Some of us already have flown over Afghanistan in DCS and it is currently possible to do it from the sea. As there is no fighting to happen at low levels in that area, it is not as if it needs to be super detailed. And, if adding lower detailed areas is such a drag on development, then the extra effort into making 3 separate renditions of low detail areas in 3 distinct maps just for Afghanistan alone perhaps makes a great deal of sense to someone who is not me.
  8. This is absolutely fine with me. The Pakistani coastline is a big deal for Afghan scenarios, as it is in itself still contested area that can lead to flashpoint in the future.
  9. Carrier ops are important to the timeframe ED is modeling in Afghanistan. Cutting out naval ops is basically taking a map with already extremely limited function, and removing the US Navy's Tomcat and Hornet contributions. The early Harrier strikes were flown from the sea as well. I don't at all understand why "there's too much detail" is a reason for deleting featureless water.
  10. Mine was working great until this week, and this video also came out this week.
  11. I don't think Robin Olds flew the F-4E, but rather the F-4C and D
  12. Well, the Harrier was MOSTLY finished but the promised Plus is never getting released. The MiG-19S is never getting released. I called it, and this is why I am not holding out for Heatblur to make a carrier capable Phantom II, either. These types of problems are so apparent from the heavy handed moderation and deletion of posts.
  13. Could it mean both of them are in the wrong, and what's the remedy for a disparaging remark? I would assume you have to prove damages to recover or would have to invoke whatever mechanism is in the contract, if there is one, that would allow them to break the contract. Other than that, I would think they pretty much would need to work it out, in which case I couldn't fault one side for getting things moving.
  14. "Non-disparagement and confidentiality provisions" if in existence, would lead me to believe that the claim Razbam is making is more likely to be true. If a party breaches a contract, a promise in that contract has been broken, so if Razbam breached second by giving information that looks bad to ED, then maybe it's not the breach.
  15. Fixed price that fails to respond to market forces does not do justice to the people who worked so hard to create a module that will fade away from low sales. Dealmaking and negotiating is part of the territory, and if you want to make sales then you must do your part. To the silly notion that offering a lower price to newer customers is unfair to older customers: what makes this so different from everything else? There is nothing at all unfair about making price adjustments.
  16. As well as the naval ops that occurred during OEF, another interesting point is that Afghanistan actually claims that coastline, which makes for an interesting scenario! Even though it was sort of acknowledged by an Afghan leader during the Soviet involvement, recognition has since been recanted and led to skirmishes and threats from Afghanistan to Iran and Pakistan over the coastline. I could see this scenario getting very interesting! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durand_Line
  17. I was actually inviting you to tell us your vision of how we are to use the Afghanistan map -- we can decide whether doing circuits and flying campaigns where we drop 1-2 bombs sounds like fun, but I wanted to know what Afghanistan is supposed to bring to the series, other than terrain alone. There are potential scenarios that bring in multiple powers, should the terrain be expanded into Iran or the Arabian Sea. I really hope my posts don't continue to be deleted just for asking a challenging question. I wish to participate in the discussion and these are all pertinent points. In Afghanistan, CAS was often focused on tiny groups of 1-15 insurgents holding up a larger group. One of the early tactics was to fly over the suspected area and not drop any ordinance. Anaconda involved large groups of Al Qaeda and maybe Taliban infantry and vehicles, but it would make sense to include part of Pakistan for such a scenario related to the earlier parts of OEF. Funny story is VMA-513 out of Yuma obliterated a Pakistani border checkpoint when a USSF group was fired upon while chasing AQ out of a village.
  18. I'd take an RF-4 module before an F-4E. The missions are pretty interesting, from the RF-4B to the RF-4EJ. Lots of cool stuff out there.
  19. The F-4E would be more interesting if they added these sorts of capabilities. I'm really holding out for a J or an S though.
  20. OK Devs, did you forget about this or perhaps still don't know about it?
  21. You have to choose the complete loadout from the loadout menu. You can't choose it individually.
  22. Hello, I think there should be smoke rockets available for the LAU-68 and the the LAU-10 pods. These are referenced in Hammer from Above: Marine Air Combat Over Iraq. Will you add them to the DCS Hornet so we can use these?
  23. Aerges could decide on that and they should
  24. I cannot get the Shahed to fire by using attack group, attack unit or fire at point. Does anyone know how to get them to work?
