AG-51_Razor

With all that lubrication on the skin, it should go faster!!

I wish they would paint that sensor ball, radra cover, or whatever the heck it is that is right behind (forward of) the IFOLS dark grey or something other than the bright white it is now. That dang thing is always a distraction when I am in the groove. :wallbash:

Maybe this will help when it comes. https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=4266842&postcount=183

Bummer :(

Can anyone confirm whether or not the transportation of ground personnel by helicopter has been fixed??

That would make for a map a little bit larger than the game will support I believe but I like where you're going with this! :thumbup:

Are you saying this from personal experience with an alpha version of the module, or are you just assuming this is the way it's going to be?

I have just read that outstanding Operations Manual for the Super Carrier, thank you very much Wags and Bunyap!! :thumbup: My question is about the radio usage during the communications with the boat. Are we going to be required to tune in different frequencies for Marshall, Tower, Air Boss, LSO?? I certainly hope so!! After all of the realism and real life procedures that have been put into this module, it would be a bit of a downer to be hearing all these radio calls coming through on just one radio channel. I would guess that the various frequencies for Marshall, Tower, Air Boss , etc. are able to be programmed in the ME. Would love to hear from ED about this.

WOW!! And all this time I thought it was just because I couldn't hold a fargging heading!! :megalol: Thanks for the great explanations for all this stuff. Now I feel a little better about my sloppy flying. :pilotfly: Seriously though, this has been very enlightening. :thumbup:

OR.....you could just wait a couple of weeks :megalol: and buy the JUG. At least that might scratch your PW R2800 itch. :thumbup: I'd get thw Normandy map and WWII assets pack as Rudel mentioned.

That's awesome! Glad you got it figured out! :thumbup:

:thumbup::pilotfly:

I switched out the mission I had up there with one that is not using a script for the tankers. If you opent this one in the ME, you'll be able to see how/what you need to do to get your tankers to talk to you. :thumbup:

Try this mission. Basic Tanking and Trapping Export.miz

Did you build the mission yourself? Is it possible that the plane you put into the mission wasn't given the task of "Refueling"? There are 2 Vikings in the sim, one is a sub hunter and the other is the Tanker. It sounds to me like, if you're not even seeing a tanker in the comms menu, that there isn't one placed in the mission.

Nevertheless, a good IJN skin for the FW-190A-8 would be nice, as would one for the 109 as a Ki-61. That's what most of our pilots thought it was anyway when they first encountered the Tony.

Thanks! :thumbup:

I've got my hands full just learning to fly the Hornet and employ it's weapons PLUS trying to get back aboard the boat. I wouldn't argue against ED or anyone else bringing it to the DCS World but I have no interest in it. Having said that, I would be highly suspect of the flight model for this plane as I am pretty sure that it is still fairly highly classified. This is not to say that I would be too concerned about the accuracy of it one way or the other, just that a plane like the P-47, a plane that not many in this community are able to comment on it's FM accuracy, has been delayed for so long for lack of accurate data, it would be a laugh to see the Wobbly Goblin show up as a full on DCS module. Needless to say, I voted no. :joystick:

Where/what is the datalink pod you are referring to??

Thanks for all the help Fellas. I'll let you know how it turns out. :thumbup:

I'm trying to get something to happen by using the F-10 selection in the comms menu. Is there someone in here that can help me with this? Specifically, I want to be able to trigger a written, or maybe even a verbal recording (.ogg file) for an approach clearance by bringing up the comms menu and then F-10. Is there a way to do this?

I have both and can quite honestly say that both are absolutely awesome! Learning to hover in a jet is definitely a challenge! Learning to trap in a Hornet aboard the carrier is possibly a slightly easier pilot operation but to do it well and consistantly is another thing. Just operationally speaking, I think that the Hornet is just about on a par with the Harrier in terms of air to ground is concerned but the Hornet is way ahead of the Harrier in terms of air to air. I would say that, depending on what it is you enjoy doing the most, you should let that be your guide. They are both very well done modules and I seriously doubt that you'd be disapointed by either one. The only little fly in the ointment is the Tarawa. It has some warts that need some attention yet but I'm sure that won't last long.

I asked about Hayrake (YE-ZB) a long time ago, back when just the P-51 was around and there was very little interest in it. I think that it would be even more important now that we are looking at the prospect of flying the Corsair off of a carrier in the Pacific. I really hope they model this! :thumbup:

I agree completely however I would not restrict the map to just Gaudalcanal. I would include the whole Solomons Island chain. That would allow for the variety of mission types you mentioned.

+1 Very well said Hawkeye!! :thumbup:
