No. I don't have discord.

I'd just about give.......a lot to see an update from Flyingiron on their A-7E.

It's a mod however, by the looks of the screen shot of the cockpit, I'd say you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between the two.

I couldn't agree more!! +1000

Yeah, it's scary just looking at the picture!!

I hate to sound like a girl here but, it's getting to be that time of month again. I need some relief! I need a Flyingiron Simulations A-7 fix !

That really sucks Bwaze! Maybe it's just a matter of the size and/or weight of the various packages that holds them up in shipping? A squad mate of mine ordered his Combat and Takeoff panels and received both of them in just about a week as well. We're both in the US - him on the east coast and me on the west coast. Regardless, I am very impressed with how fast they came, given the time of year and all the talk lately of supply chain issues. And besides all of that, the actual products are fantastic!

Winwing certainly doesn't have one!! I ordered my Takeoff and Combat panels on Christmas day, quite prepared to not see them on my doorstep until sometime this spring and actually got my first box 3 days later and the second one arrived today! Their packaging was exceptional also. I am nothing less than totally blown away!

This is not a request based on my dissatisfaction with any of the stock skins rather, it is being made in hopes that, with a User Made skin, we'll once again be able to see the flight deck markings while in the Mission Editor. As a matter of fact, this is actually a request for just the flight deck, not the rest of the ship. Can this even be done??

I don't believe that you could get those Seahawks parked there up against the island without having a large number of plane handlers pushing them into place by hand.

My Dad was the first Flight Deck officer for the new Yorktown CV-10, a plank holder, and said that this hanger deck catapult was used just a time or two during the shake down cruise to prove that it worked but never again. He told me that the pilot that went out that hanger door had told him it was the most terrifying thing he had ever done as a Naval Aviator!!

To answer the original poster's question, I would definitely be interested in a full fidelity module of the Dakota and would gladly pay handsomely for it!!

Indeed! I am definitely looking forward to flying the Wildcat!!

Not me!!

Yep, when you get right down to it, about the only thing that the Corsair and the Jug have in common are the total number of cubic inches and the fact that P & W made both of their engines. Different props, different cowl flaps, different induction and different exhaust systems. I would bet that the limitations for the engines are quite different as well.

Just remember GazAce, the Seahawks are towed from the tail so wherever you place them, there must be room left at the tail for the tug and tow bar. Same goes for the fixed wing. They are towed from the nose so they will normally be tailed (pushed backwards) into wherever they are going to be spotted if it's up against a deck edge or obstruction such as the island.

Very strange indeed.

Dunx, are you saying that the Tacans on the tankers worked normally by NOT using the AA position for the Tacan in your cockpit??

I just noticed the same problem. 71X set up for air to air gave me a bearing as well as the correct identifier, ARC, but no distance or time to station. Others in my squad reported the same thing. It was correctly put in the ME for that tanker also.

Ahhhhhhhh, the good old days!!

I wonder if they could accurately model the effects of the wingtips not coming off simultaneously, which is what drove them to do away with that "feature".

I can't wait to fly this as a mod or even as a module. I'd gladly pay top money for the Bearcat!

Anything with a tailhook gets my full attention!!

The fact that the Bearcat's only combat came at the hands of the French as a ground attack plane has always made me scratch my head. I don't think that it would be too far off the mark to say that, at the time when the US Navy transferred all those F8F Bearcats over to the French Navy, it was one of the best prop driven fighters in the world but I'll never understand why it ended up in South East Asia hauling around 5" rockets and a couple 500 lb bombs when they had the F4U-7 Corsair available to them. Regardless, I will gladly jump into it's virtual cockpit and fly around on any map in the world of DCS and love every minute of it!!

The Bearcat would be an awesome addition to DCS and I've no doubt a huge pleasure to fly! Thanks for the heads up on it
