Are you using beta or stable? Beta gets the updates first

I don't think I underestimate it, I just don't think it's all that complicated as long as you're staying on top of where you are and when you have to leave. I've done it many times either in holds or passing over a drop point to drop skydivers for SOCOM demos. In all honesty, it's nearly eyeballing it and I've done it to the second.

Placebo? There wasn't anything in this update that changed the flight model or behavior that I'm aware of.

Yup, I forgot they're timed, either way, it doesn't really make much of a difference. In fact, being timed legs, it simplifies things.

Before I get started, dont' take this as being rude. If you're doing timed legs and you have to be out at the top of the hour and you're two min into your outbound leg and you have 4 min til exit, it's time to turn. It's really simple. You're doing timed legs, you can see a clock, just some common sense and basic math. There's no need for complication. You don't have to complete an entire leg/racetrack to exit a hold. Just turn when you need to and exit at the hold point.

15's, 7's, 14's and 9's are the ones I've used and I've never seen or heard of an auto focus. You focus for a specific distance, usually infinity, unless you're trying to read a map.

You have NVGs to focus at specific distances, up close or infinity or in between, but not both/everything at once. You really shouldn't be using the NVG's to look at instruments in the cockpit anyway, you look under them.

Talk about complicating things...lol

They seem fine. One of the biggest problems I see in flight sims is that they make nav lights and such, way too bright. At what distance are you when saying they aren’t bright enough? DCS seems to do the level of brightness quite well.

It's just a holding pattern with a time to exit. Don't really need math if it's what I'm thinking. Besides, IIRC, the legs are distance, not time.

Ok...however that was not the point...

You must’ve entirely missed all the examples of people ejecting at + Mach speeds and surviving.

For now...the entire point of these modules is to do things correctly. Landing at 160-170 isn't correct and will break things. Hopefully in the near future it will be implemented along with landing over weight.

Wearing dual tubes like PVS 15’s or 9’s, for example still gives you that monocular view.

You don't need to retract the speed brake. With the speed brake out, once you reach 250 knots, put the gear down and full flaps, the speed brake will retract on it's own.

You are watching SAT for icing conditions. Who do you fly for? I already know the answer and this is the attitude problem in these forums I was talking about. Thanks for the great example...

I'd be interested to know if you were actually flying in visible moisture when you got that warning. I'm guessing probably not and that isn't correct behavior. Also, it isn't necessarily the OAT or TAT that comes so much into play, but it is the SAT. I don't know, but doubt DCS has gone this far into modeling proper icing.

Not at all trying to be arrogant. My point is that people like to pull quotes from manuals and use that as justification to be nasty without actually knowing how to interpret what they are presenting. In almost all cases of icing the aircraft needs to first be in icing conditions. Then on top of that, if flying in excess of certain air speeds, icing isn't even an issue, unless of course you get a warning but that's a different conversation. I'd venture to guess that most have no idea what constitutes icing conditions. That isn't meant to be nasty, but no one should come in pasting charts and screaming without having a good working knowledge of what they are presenting. It's the attitude I'm referring.

I hope you're being sarcastic. lol It's not about that, it's about the few that are nasty in these forums for no reason and then hide behind quotes from manuals that they most likely don't know anything about.

That's kind of my point. lol They read a book without knowing everything else that goes with it, that they should know to understand it.

Back, before DCS when it was flaming cliffs, maybe...

I'm not sure many on here realize what icing conditions are and how other factors such as air speed affect icing.

It's the shuttle running over the plates in the track. I wish they'd tweak ours to better sound like that.

One last time. Fly formation during the day. Look at the formation strips position, translate that to night. It's pretty simple.
