Any news about the "Man eater"??

Nealius, the amount of difference between the carrier's heading and the wind is dependant on the wind's velocity as well as the carrier's speed. If it is your desire to have the wind "right down the angled deck", then it probably going to be more like a difference of 20-25 degrees. The best way to figure this out is to use one of the Super Carriers. You need to have an idea of which is of higher priority, carrier speed or carrier's heading (given a fixed wind direction and speed) in the mission you are building. I would start with a wind speed of 10 kts and set the carrier's heading 20 degrees to the right of the wind's direction. So if the wind is coming from the north ( 180 in the ME) I would set the carrier's heading to 020 and speed to 25 kts. Run the mission and go to the LSO's position to see what the wind over the angled deck is. An "S" or "P" will tell you how much of a crosswind component you have and from there it's just a matter of a little trial and error (or vector math) to come up with a "wind right down the angled deck". Any change of carrier speed, wind speed, carrier heading or wind direction will throw it off a bit. Once you have the right combination of wind and ship speeds and directions, just swap the SC out for the Forrestal

Same here

Never mind, I finally figured it out. It is "AH-64D_BLK_II"

I guess I'm always going to be asking this question until someone can explain to me how to go about figuring it out for myself. What is the correct label for the Apache skin file? Is there an easy way of determining this for myself?

That's awesome Jojo, thanks for the heads up!

Thank you very much Rudel_chw

The title pretty much says it all. What is the correct label for the P-47 skin folder in Saved Games?

Awesome find Jojo! Thanks. I do believe that the paint scheme would actually look pretty good on this Army warhorse

I will preface this request with the understanding of how abhorrent to both the Army and Marines this may sound but hey! it's just a small fantasy Hughes actually did propose a naval variant of the Apache quite a long time ago. I saw an artist's concept drawing of it flying off a DDG (I believe) with it's landing gear retracted (presumably to give it that WOW factor to Admirals and USMC Generals) and AIM-9's loaded on rails out on the tips of the wing stubs. Knowing that, a. the chances of us ever seeing an AH-1Z Viper in this game are non existant or, b. if it does get developed I'll be long dead and gone by the time it enters Early Access, I'd like to place the AH-64 aboard the Tarawa with a Marine uniform inlieu of the Army OD. Is there anyone in this community that feels the same, that might give it a shot?

I had a guy in my squad report this same thing while online last night. I use Voice Attack to engage Heading Select or BARALT and it rarely fails to work unless, as Foka stated above, my joiystick is not centered. The guy reported that he was "manually" pressing the button with his mouse. I wonder if it has anything to do with the amount of time the mouse button is held down on the button??

Try SimHQ

Well, there's no denying that you've got talent with a 3D printer and it's software. I look forward to seeing the finished product.

If you're thinking Apache, you'd better think about adding a bunch more soft key slots!

19 callsigns for a FAC/JTAC but only 3 for tankers?? I can see where this didn't seem like too big of a deal way back when the A-10 and F-15 were the only planes of ours that could tank behind the KC-135 and the SU-33 and -27 were all that could benefit from the IL-78M but now we have the KC-130, KC-135, KC-135MPRS and the S-3B Viking to work with and a bunch more planes that are capable of AAR. How difficult could it be to add a handful more callsigns?

Could not possibly agree more with Nealius' request. At the very least, dial down the green flood lights on the deck. They are way too bright! RAZBAM has made some great progress on the Tarawa over the years but there's still just a little bit left to do where the lighting is concerned.

Yeah, it's been a fair bit of time since we've had a bone thrown at us!

Thank you for that explanation Western_JPN.

Is anyone able to place the B-747 on an airport in the Syria map? Other than having it start on the runway, I can't get it to start on the ramp without an error message about "no free airport". It works just fine on the NTTR, Caucus, Persian Gulf and Marianas maps.

My apologies to the OP and the rest of this community. I had no idea that his post was originally put up in the Apache forum. I guess I was just doing my best impression of Tucker Carlson and it came off just as I should have expected it to. Again, I hope everyone will accept my sincerest apology.

Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking but I just thought it was interesting that he appeared to expect all of us reading his post to take that for granted.

"My third year flying DCS, I don't think there's ever been a more anticipated module than this?" Than WHAT??!! "I obviously don't have access to pre-order sales figures, but judging by the hype I say it's up there." WHAT's up there??!! "Super excited for this one, loving the videos." WHAT VIDEOS??!!

I love you man!!

That would be a very welcome addition indeed

Could we get more than just 3 callsigns for the tankers? It doesn't seem like that would be a very technically difficult thing to do but I am a total dweeb where it applies to code and computer software. It would be greatly appreciated though.
