Thanks Chuck. I guess I need to re-learn to read!!

What happened to Chuck's guides??!! I have looked all over this ED forum and can no longer find his awesome guides anywhere.

Thanks Donny, that helps a lot! I'm getting goose bumps just thinking about that control pannel below the HUD leaving an imprint on my forehead after a sudden stoppage in the barrier!!

Thanks for posting that Santus. That's very encouraging!

Yes, directly at it. Just outside of the range ring of the Guideline, according to the SA page.

Just curious is all. I was testing some timing in a mission that I am building and found that the "2" code for the Fansong Radar doesn't appear on the HARM page while in the TOO Mode, even though it is displayed in on the RWR page.

Hey Donny.....it's er........ getting to be that time again. I'm starting to break out in cold sweats and lately, my hands have begun to display a bit of a trimmer. Is there something you can do for this? I mean, just a touch is all I need.

I'm pretty sure that the bridles in this case were not made of aluminium. They were steel braded rope with eyes swedged onto both ends.

You are a star Sir!! Thank you very, very much!

That is what I figured, but my problem is that it doesn't stay on the screen long enough for me to read all the information. My original post - clumsily written I grant you - was to see if there was a list somewhere with all that information posted for each preset.

HC_Official, I appreciate the reply and the information. I would like to know more about the elevation/cloud heights listed for each preset. Specifically, do they remain constant and just go up and down with the base established in the ME. or do they remain fixed? I wish that ED had printed those METAR reports on the graphic display so that it remained visible all the time.

I assume that they have something to do with the various cloud layers and/or cloud coverage but they never stay up long enough for me to get a good read on them. Does anybody have a print out of what they are for each preset and what they mean??

These would be my choices: 1. Korean peninsula, from slightly north of the Yalu river down to northern part of Japan. This realestate has been fought over (as far as DCS World is concerned) from WWII through the Korean War and quite possibly again in the not too distant future. 2. Vietnam (Indo China). Again, WWII and the Vietnam war from early 50's (France) then 60's through mid 70's. 3. The Solomon Islands to include New Britain.

I can't imagine anything cooler than for us to be able to plan and execute missions where we can provide our own organic tanking off the boat! KA-6, A-6E w/buddy pack or an S-3 would be fine, as long as we could have complete control over it.

I was under the impression that the shuttle on the current Nimitz class carriers could accomodate a bridle but regardless, the Corsair would definitely not need to use it for takeoff even fully loaded.

Yeah. I'm out of town for a while and not able to test out the latest update (20 May) to see if this problem has been rectified. Any news on this??

Fully loaded Corsairs and Skyraiders were routinely deck launched from Essex class carriers. The times when they used the catapults were when operating off of CVEs, or when the number of a/c on the deck of an Essex class carrier left not enough room for a deck launch. There should be no doubt at all of the Corsair's ability to launch from any carrier in DCS World without a. catapult, even the Tarawa with a little wind in the mission.

Absolutely awesome!!!

Well said! I feel the exact same way.

Once y'all ge the DCS ecosystem figured out, I'd like to just say that, for the Pacific Theater of Operations, I would much prefer to see a B-24 Liberator/PB4Y Privateer produced than a B-17. Obviously I'd rather be able to fly it but if not, at least an AI version would make a great addition to both theaters of operations!

I completely understand the OpenBeta thing and appreciate that this SuperCarrier is a marvel of AI engineering as well as a masterpiece of graphics art but the one thing about its current state of disrepair in regards to getting hooked up on the catapults, is that prior to the introduction of 2.7, everything on the SC seemed to be working fairly well. It's just so frustrating for this lay person to see that a) the problem got by the ED testers in the first place and b) the solution would be so elusive. It's not like ED is trying to introduce some brand new SC technology for the first time in the 2.7 patch. It was there already and worked great. Now it's broken. How difficult is it to take a look at the code for the SC catapult AI and see what has changed since 2.7 came down? There's no doubt in my mind that it will get fixed, just frustrated is all.

It has been broken for my squad since the big update to 2.7 and although I am quite confident that ED will find a cure for it, I am now building missions that start out on a land base and recover on the boat. It is a most annoying bug!

I really don't think there would be any reason for the ED team to bother with trying to create a flight engineer's position for the multicrew cockpit of the Mi-8. There wouldn't be that much, if anything, for the 3rd person to do.
