My guess would be no...

I want working interior lighting, correct start up/shutdown sequence, countermeasures, sling loads and working gun sights! Bring it on.

I think maybe it's a feature of the twin rotor? More sensitive to collective pitch changes perhaps? The Huey is definitely a pig to land. I like the idea of reversing the collective but I've got used to it set up the same as the fixed wings.

One thing I find particularly frustrating about missiles in DCS is how hard it is to actually see the smoke plume though. Those things come out of nowhere!

A clean A-10 is pretty handy in a knife fight. I've got my nose into a few Su25's after they overshot on a high speed gun runs. Depends on the pilot though. A better pilot would probably break in the opposite direction if overshooting instead of continuing into the turn and giving you a shot on their six. Failing that they'd go high and come back down for another boom and zoom run. A terrible pilot would lose a knife fight in an F-22 against a skilled one in an A-10. Teamwork is another factor. Watch this for an example.

As far as the Mig 29 vs A-10, the Mig would probably either hit the A-10 BVR or if it was Remington, vector its wingman/second element onto the threat. AI isn't particularly intelligent in DCS but if you were flying against a couple of good A-A pilots online that know how to work together and employ effectice tactics, you'd be toast in the Hog. Fighters never fly alone in the real world, so chances are if you spot one there's another not too far away and he's going to be trying his best to make your life as difficult as possible. Then again, you'd probably never see A-10's alone in an area in which air superiority hadn't been already established in the real world. Not to mention the fact that the F-16 CJ/DJ's would have already been in to thin out the air defences.

This is driving me crazy! I thought when Kuky posted that fix it would be the end of this. Please sort this out ED!

I think the price is a little on the steep side and the AAP really needs to be working for the CDU to be fully usable without having to buy the UFC as well. I'll be interested when it's as fully featured as the iOS version, with working radios and dials.

This is all speculative of course. The truth is that we just don't know until we get our hands on it.

Currently getting wasted on a 60's themed night... So I'm feeling anything from the Vietnam era right now. White rabbit and the Huey... Awww yeah!

Maybe it won't be an issue in EDGE...? I really hope so.

Tested and I can also confirm this fix does NOT work. Still exactly the same :cry:

Gotta love the century series. These things must have looked like space ships when they first flew in the 50's. I'd love to see DCS Vietnam one day.

Just waiting on Wags' Friday EDGE update now. HE PROMISED! (even though he specifically didn't).

So does the fix that Kuky posted work or not? Anyone had a good result?

Did they not include an "everything is subject to change" clause on the kickstarter? :D

This doesn't sound too promising... I'll have a play around later though.

Guys, check out my latest discovery here http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=116355

Confirmed here also.

I'll test it as soon as I get home.

Holy mackerel... That's one pretty engine. I have no idea how these things work but I'm assuming you couldn't just drop a DCS module in there and fly around? :noexpression:

Kinda expected as much. First exciting bit of news about a fast mover and it dissapears... Typical.

To be honest I was surprised when the F-15 WASN'T announced as the first DCS fast mover. No carrier ops, no A-G radar, 6dof cockpit is already modeled. I'm not complaining though because I love the idea of multirole. Also, this is Belsimtek right? I presume ED will be working on the Hornet still...
