Shouldn't this be a default option for carrier missions?

It is my understanding Harriers, especially on the boat, use bombs with fire retardant coatings on them. I don't like seeing my bombs look like they are from Air Force stockpiles. Can we change the color schemes for most JDAM and dumb bombs? The GBU-12 already has it.

Yea, I've seen Iraq with some cool loadouts but I have not seen Iran with much of anything except as you said fuel tanks

Did Iran ever obtain the French missiles?

I feel like people give too much credence on sounds recorded with lousy mics

What weapons have the Iranians had available for their F1s? I am designing some missions where the player flies the Mirage F1 for Iran in an off-the-rails adventure based on the off-the-rails events of 2018-2019 between the US and Iran.

Hey yall, I get the concept and the math is for those want to deal with the theory and the numbers. @VZ_342 this is the solution I have been using, but I would like to know if the F-5's gauges can be adjusted for magnetic variation at the start of a mission, so you don't have to keep doing mental math on the fly.

What's the correct way to do this, by the book? What do pilots irl actually do? What do pilots in game actually do?

Do the F-13!!!!

Thank you! Love the trailer.

The rule should be simple: If it's been mounted on a Su- or MiG- in Ukraine, then it should be included. Period.

What if it's already available? We are not talking about providing them with anything, we are talking about the use of regulated materials by someone who may not be exposed to US jurisdiction, like a game developer in Europe.

Could you explain that? It is my understanding that ITAR is an export restriction, not an issue for the importer. That is to say, if you receive it from the US then it's the exporter's problem and not yours. Also, what about data? Does ITAR prohibit the export of unclassified nontangible information?

Looking forward to new manual after they destroyed the key binds

Thank you very much for this guide. I waited like a year before I touched the Mirage F1, so I could get your take on how to do everything. Now that I've flown it, I can say that it is much like a MiG-21 on steroids. Thanks again for this guide, as it is making DCS very fun for me!

I thought you were not serious, but null

Hi, it's been a few months and I wanted to see if this was still in the pipeline. Thanks!

Q-5 would be very welcome, any version really

Holy necro thread. yes, post it

By your definition, maybe. But I'm thinking that an aircraft which was designed to operate from carriers, but is put out specifically to not operate on carriers, is losing its function and flexibility. Exactly. It is but a tease that the famous phantom gets its carrier ops clipped at first release. They may not ever do a proper carrier version, as these "promised follow ups" turn to vaporware far more often than not. There's plenty of reason to say they missed the mark with this choice, and a whole lot of people are just going to look the other way until something like a -J comes their way.

I will never understand the ambitious niche versions before the common easy versions, which are likely never to come

To your opinion, are entitled. If you view flexibility as a purely groundbased bomb truck, then sure I get it. But if you view flexibility as a carrier aircraft that can actually operate from a carrier, then this variant is one of the most inflexible.

Last week you said you apologized for the update being light. Last week was good, but this week is light even with the F-15E release. Edited to add my congrats to all who eagerly awaiting the F-15E. It's a great event to have this module added. I'm sure it will dominate the buzz.

Yes, I would expect to hear from all 'teams' in any case

Well, in all fairness what you see in ego-feeding upvotes and the reasons you are seeing those might not match up. By and large, people take special care not to complain around here; it's part of the culture of this postboard even if not everybody wants to live by that vision. They don't all care that you worked on the variant being released at all, they only care that a flyable Phantom II will be offered. I complain because many of us are not sold on the choice to release a land-based version of a carrier fighter first and likely solely. The likelihood of fulfilling a vision to create and release a proper carrier fighter is sketchy at best, which almost every case in DCS will show. So don't confuse popularity for agreement. Like you, those all important upvotes are just people who don't want to hear complaints. Yeah, I'm sure you have a special attachment to the F-4E but at the end of the day your bird has a tailhook and gained its fame in the service of the Navy and Marine Corps. That's what I/we want to see.
