Made a poll for this: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=134312

In response to http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=134285, which I found quite interesting, I decided to make a poll to possibly bring back what apparently were higher-res skins for the Fishbed that were patched out. Used by client's optional selection, of course.

You keep tearing his dream into bits and pieces. :lol: In all seriousness, agreeing with cichild, it would still be quite the amount of work to create a non-clickable, yet good aircraft. Something like a tanker would be some hard work, if it enables multi-player cockpit sharing, and not to mention boom operations, forming a new communication system, all which would make a good tanker experience. It wouldn't sell too well anyways...sitting 9 hours on your chair watching about 20 aircraft a day come around for about a few minutes or so per aircraft just doesn't compare to what DCS offers right now...could make some good screenshots I guess, with the new/old EDGE 'round the corner. F-16's could be a good idea. C-130...if you enjoy long trips, I guess so. The Herky Bird is fun to fly after all. I digress; venturing into unknown grounds may be risky and could take some time, but in the end it could be a success. Who will ever know... ;)

Right Shift+N is the default I think. Works on other FC3 aircraft too.

I know this seems like a stupid question, but are you using the Open Beta updater?

we're gonna need someone to post some screens of that new su-27 :thumbup:

I'm not sure if this conflicts with other DCS models, but here goes. If you've ever flipped while crashing (can't remember how to get in such a crash :lol:) and rested on the top of the aircraft, sometimes it will start bouncing violently on it's wings as if the aircraft thinks the ground is lava, and eventually it will explode. Will upload a track later if you need it...:thumbup:

below is off topic somewhat Speaking of that...how long has it been since they changed the pic? Can't remember the last one, (that is if there was another one), but I think it could be nice if we could get a monthly change of the picture, a-la LOF. :)

I'm sure everyone can't wait! :D (In the sense of having a lot of anticipation build-up for this...can't wait myself)

8 and a half year ressurection...WITCHCRAFT!!!

Cool, thanks :)

Preferrably with labels for which is which. I used to suck at the A-10C before I mapped my HOTAS system to my joystick, now it's much easier piloting it, especially in combat situations! :thumbup: Now, I'm sure some of you have a 3D Pro joystick (Logitech), and I'm also pretty sure you know it's basic compared to these 100+ currency joysticks that have all of those buttons. As such, you can't map most of your HOTAS if you don't use a head tracking device for turning your head in-game. If you're wondering what my current HOTAS setup is, it's a cheap one (The 3D Pro only has 12 buttons); I only have the DMS, China Hat, and Coolie Switch mapped. Setup: China Hat: Forward = Btn 7, Aft = Btn 8 (used for SPI and other minor operations) Coolie Switch: Down = Btn 6, Up = Btn 5, Left = Btn 3, Right = Btn 4 (Used for SOI and MFCD page switching) DMS: Aft = Btn 9, Forward = Btn 10, Left = Btn 11, Right = Btn 12 (Used mostly for operations involving TGP's, I use them a lot.) The hat switch is reserved for head panning, and Btn 1 and 2 are reserved for the GAU-8 firing mechanism and pickle, respectively. It's really a lot better than memorizing the keyboard shortcuts and trying to fly, one hand on the joystick and one hand on the keyboard. :megalol: Just for clarification, I do indeed have a TrackIR setup, but it's completely disassembled ATM and I would have to get it all set up again.

Hello, ladies and gents. Here's the story of my first flight (technically as a passenger), performed September 27, 2014. Be patient if I am in a mess of words, I'm typing this up quick because it's 12:00 at night and I have school tomorrow, I apologize for any errors, but I will refine later. :) I had never been in an aircraft. Even if I have flown in such simulators like FSX and DCS. It's something that runs down my family, yet has been quiet before now. It seems to have exploded in this generation of my family, and that is the fear of un-natural death. My sister has already got her permit and she won't drive until she's forced to. I had passed up riding helicopter flights twice already. My dad and I agreed on the fact that if I had such a passion for flight, why not act like it and step in a real plane? Thus begins the story of my first flight. It was an oddly warm 27th of September that morning. At my local airport, which is known as Greenville Downtown Airport (they still call it GMU like it was called a long time ago), they were holding a..."stationary" airshow, that is, maybe a few planes were up for show purposes (such as this one STOL aircraft), the rest were parked on the ground. They were doing free flights that they called "Young Eagle" flights for the first 100 that got there. We were number 15 on the arrival list, coming in at around 8:30 AM. I was as anxious as a dog in a thunderstorm, my legs started shaking after we got our tickets. We got in the shuttle van with a few other people also looking to fly. They had drove us across runway 28/10 and stopped at a large apron with even a V-tail Bonanza parked there, apparently there was a woman who needed to find her kid and asked if he was in there (I hope she found him). We drove across runway 1/19 onto a slightly smaller apron with a FedEx 727 parked on the northbound side of it. There is where I found what I was riding in and who was flying. He looked like a ripe-old man with a keen sense for flight. I had mentioned earlier that I had gotten there #15 on the list. As I would've thought after getting my ticket, the line to the flights were short. I had gotten all of the required stuff for the flight, a logbook, a few advertisements for flight programs, and the iPod I kept in my pocket. We were flying in a small Van's RV-12, a side-by-side homebuilt 2 seater. It had all of that stuff in it we have nowadays, a fancy Garmin G-1000 on the pilot's side, and a few knobs on the passenger's side. I put on my headset and fiddled with the vent to see how it worked. A simple thing it was, just slide and open, nothing else required. A cameraman had me pose the thumbs up sign before we closed the canopy. After that, we had now been fully secured in the cockpit, so we ran our startup checklist. I tried to be a little smarter, act like a co-pilot, calling out the checklist. :lol: He had already known it by memory I suppose, it was up and running before I could finish reading. Now we were ready to taxi. We had taxied to take off on runway 1 using taxiway D1. As I suspected, the controller was under much stress, someone by the callsign of Delta (which seems odd to me as GSP is the airline destination and not GMU) was screwing up his landing by going towards Donaldson Center and not GMU. :megalol: We were number...2 for departure, I believe. One aircraft had taken off in front of us, also on D1 in a Cherokee (how envious I was, a kid flying in one of those), and then another aircraft took off on the far end of runway 1, which I could only identify as either a Van's or a Diamond. We were then given clearance. Never in my life had I thought that g-forces could take that much toll on the body; even with my 5 belt harness on, I was rocking around in the cabin. We then had lift off. "Greenville's a lot hazier in the air than I thought it was. Beautiful." These are the only lines I could say to the pilot during the first part of the flight. Clouds were around 3000 ft that day, with either wind gusts kicking in (it was a somewhat windy day) or slight turbulence, the aircraft rocked around a bit. We had gotten up to cloud level, and there was our cruise altitude. We had passed over the main part of Greenville. We then went on the same course up until we flew past the Sandy Flats Quarry. We then hit the most exciting thing mid-flight; a 30-degree bank, mind you I asked the pilot not to do any stunts; I never really liked rollercoasters. :P We then made a crosswind into runway 1. At landing, we noticed, and I quote, "1...2 3 4...5 6...7 aircraft" on departure. My pilot joked and said it was like JFK. We shared quite a laugh. We got clearance to land a bit before the short final. We came in pretty high on landing, but we got the glideslope about a mile away from the runway. Once we had landed, I had let out an "alright!" We had taxied on the same taxiway we had departed on. We also went to the same parking space, for obvious reasons. My iPod had filled the whole flight, full charge, and then 20% of it's battery left. :lol: Here is the end of that story. After that flight, I had gotten a certificate. YOUNG EAGLES CERTIFICATE I will keep it on the wall behind my computer as long as it can stay. I plan to meet that pilot later on in my life. He says he stays at a private airstrip where houseowners at the airstrip can use it, and it's name is Chandelle. Thank you guys for reading, if you did. :) Cheers, Yours Truly

Meeh, boring, back to BF4. :music_whistling: Obviously I'm kidding. :pilotfly:

Nope. AFAIK no ASM here unless this one is different than all of the other updates.

Please look up Rule 1.1 before using any profanity. BTW, WWII fighters are most definetly not yank-the-stick-and-win planes. Too much torque in those engines to handle it. Good luck, man.

"We also plan for this module to include multiplayer front seat / back seat capability." :weight_lift_2: Gettin' ready for it. :p

^ And the MiG-29, F-15, Su-25A, Su-27, Su-33 and the A-10A. All of these aircraft started in one survey sim, so don't expect ultra-high cockpit "clickability" (or in other terms any clickability) with these aircraft. Have fun flying, and welcome to the world of DCS. :)

^ No. To me, everyone should pay the same for a product that is the same for everyone.

Oh yeah, man. Love the stuff that FSX/P3D modders crank out every day. Love how VoxATC has a 7-day trial, and now I feel like buying it.

He pulled up at the last second. ;) That left the reporter about a half of his body height if he was standing. Apparently they knew eachother well too.

Don't know if this is real or not, but if it isn't, that's top notch editing right there. ...And it turns out he was drunk. :p

Can anyone explain why she has such short mileage? Was she made for scrambling and fast interception of fighters/intruders? (even though the MiG-31 can do that with ease, but only with bombers and stuff like that)

Also, what sucks about BMS is that you cannot just find a server, you have to join, go through a frickin 2 week process to start training, and by the time you end training it's Christmas. With DCS it's a list of servers that you can join at your will.

Lol, yeah, I remember getting into an argument with RAM22 there, boy did it explode. We were never really friends there. :lol:
