I said that the laser can be somewhat useful for getting distance exact, not much more. Overall it's such a trivial thing the guide could as well have mentioned not crashing on your way to the target. Yurgon thought he illustrated why it was useful because he had a bad understanding to say the least, of how TGP designated SPIs work, to the extent where he didn't even know that they were continuous. That alone says a lot, considering that even I knew that in less than a week of taking up flying the A-10C, and I'm not by far an expert. When he's told he's wrong by me and others, and proven to be wrong, he won't even acknowledge that I told him that. Instead he starts nitpicking exact words and phrases, probably because he's still trying to act like he's right and I'm wrong. And what my problem is, is that someone who's wrong turns up, acts like an arrogant teacher, and then can't even be mature enough to keep schtum after he's acknowledged he was wrong. And to reiterate: Using a laser does not make JDAMs dropped on TGP designated SPIs more accurate, unless it's done by a pilot so lazy he can't even be bothered to adjust the position of the SPI by moving his TGP back on target if he sees that it has strayed off course. Only in that very particular, ridiculously unlikely scenario would a laser make a JDAM drop any more accurate.

The way you described it, you seemed to think something to that effect. You called me out on how the laser worked in conjunction with the TGP and JDAMs when it was you who lacked even a basic understanding of how TGP designated SPIs worked, nitpicking and only acknowledging you were wrong to others won't change that. Sick and tired of people acting like know-it-all's, especially when they're wrong.

Prove you're him. Post ID, credit card, ATM pass, etc. :P

Pics or shens.

No, just no. A laser isn't some magic GPS.

Would you care to read my entire post that you quoted, or does taking convenient parts out of context to misrepresent what I actually wrote suit you better?

Realistically speaking, everything that'd be required to silence ~90% of everyone currently complaining is to just post some pictures of the Mig-21 module. Don't think they even have to show off any new things, just taken from different angles, with different weapons, etc. to do something about everyone's Mig-21 abstinence :P

Lases guided JDAMs perhaps?

I'm terribly sorry that the OP, myself, and many many others offend your sense of what's allowed and not in DCS by using autostart. :megalol:

The GBU-38 is a JDAM, meaning it's not laser guided. The laser may help in getting distance and such exact, but it's not used by the GBU-38. Do you by any chance not fly steady when you drop it? Did you select the GBU-38 before making the target SPI? Whilst I can't think of anything very wrong of the top of my head in that guide, small things such as instructing people to turn on a laser for a GPS guided weapon that does not track or even register a laser does lead me to say that it might not be the best guide in the world. Try the training mission.

Yes. Because the extradition theory Assange has announced revolving around him being set up for rape charges in Sweden, which will of course lead to him being extradited to the US, where they will charge him with treason despite him not being an American citizen and as such being unable to commit treason against the US, and sentencing him to death totally makes sense. It's convenient how Assange supporters tend to leave out those, shall we call them "bat shit insane" parts of the set up conspiracy. Also, don't pull a bunch of BS. I live here (in Sweden that is), and I can tell you that from day one of this being made public, the police said that he was wanted for questioning.

Actually, I reckon that won't be a problem on the AH-1G. See, there the gunner can chose when to activate the reflex sight, like the copilot on the Huey right now. Both can look around completely normally, until they make the decision to bring down the flex sight (don't know exactly how you do it on the AH-1G), whereas the door gunner on the Huey always has his weapon activated so to speak. Which makes me think of another thing: Would it be possible to add the ability of the Huey door gunners to "drop" their machine guns, i.e. let go of them temporarily? If the door gunner wasn't aiming his weapon by default, just like how the copilot doesn't have his flex sight down by default, wouldn't that enable the door gunner to look around more freely when not aiming his weapon? I.e. you switch to the door gunner position, and not until you press an assigned button will you start aiming the door gun around. Until then, you're looking around unrestricted, and the gun just stays down or something.

Because the GAU-8 is fixed, not exactly anything you can slew around ;) I can't remember where who said it, but IIRC it was some dev or sumthing similar.

Wanna jump down from your ivory tower any time soon? I for example don't even read a little bit of Russian, meaning that aircraft with Russian exclusive cockpits would mean that I simply can't know what I'm doing. There is absolutely nothing absurd about translating it to other languages than originally "intended" for this very simple reason: The text in the cockpit is there to make sure that the pilot knows what different buttons and such do when he uses them, not for some elitist atmosphere. Learning a different language from the text in a military jet cockpit is at best a futile way of learning any language. I for one am not a native speaker of English, but very proficient in it, and there are quite a few times when I find myself struggling to understand the meaning of certain English words and phrases encountered in the A-10C and Huey cockpits.

1, No, that is not what she said happened. Or what the second woman said happened. Believe what you want, but this is a democratic society, and from that Assange has seen fit to hide in the London embassy of a country that regularly imprisons and issues enormous fines to regime critical journalists, for over 3 years now, claiming nonsense about being extradited from Sweden to the US should he return. 2, Not a single "jihadi" has returned from either Somalia or Syria. The Swedish police has made it very well known that they keep track of who goes, and if they should attempt to return, in which case they will be arrested since direct involvement with terrorist organisations is a felony here. It is also the Swedish police that brought the issue to light, so I have a hard time believing that they would not do anything about it.

I'm in favour of it, but since they said it wouldn't work due to engine limitations (can't remember where exactly), I don't see much of a point in beating a dead horse.

Now here's the thing: If during intercourse, the woman says that she doesn't want to continue having sex, and the man responds by holding her down and keep it up, then that's rape. And I very clearly wrote "political advantage". Not tactical, strategical, or anything else. And no, it's more like 50-ish Swedish citizens who've gone abroad for jihad nonsense. So what? You expecting the police to go down to Syria and Somalia and bring them home in handcuffs?

So, apart from your frankly idiotic view of what constitutes rape (it doesn't have to be dragging a screaming woman into a back alley), I'd like to reiterate: I've quite clearly written that Sweden is very un-neutral, and that the only political advantage with the Gripen is that it doesn't directly benefit the US arms industry.

Which was never, ever the actual plan. Also, as much as I'm for sharing intelligence with NATO about the USSR, it's hardly going to decrease the risks of drawing your country into a war, something that every single government for decades claimed they were putting everything they could into.

It's basically a simple sort of ballistics computer you get. You line up on the vertical line, and then you adjust your pitch up or down until the numbers that usually indicate time to bomb release go from -X or X to 0 (with rockets in CCRP, it tells you the elevation in degrees). Fire at 0, and voila, a horribly inaccurate long range rocket bombardment, that stands about as much chance of hitting something as if you'd use a shotgun against fish.

Sweden has not been neutral even a single day since the end of WW2. From the first day we were ensuring that our military equipment would be compatible with NATO counterparts, we shared intelligence with them, and in case of another major conflict, the plan was to at best stay neutral for a token time before finding some convenient reason to join the war on NATO's side. Though it's been common knowledge for well over a decade, Swedish politicians (and other smug people) keep pretending that neutrality in order to maintain peace, and not turning like one with the geopolitical wind and cowardice to stay out of wars even at the direct expense of our neighbours, is and always will be a almost uniquely Swedish virtue. I don't think that's lost on the Brazilians. But choosing the Gripen is cheaper, and doesn't mean sending money to the Americans.

He might be, but it wouldn't make much difference. Others, me included, have reported still not being able to assign bindings to the new features despite deleting the old Saved Games folder.

Well, do you have to auto hover to use the weapons on the Huey? I'd imagine they'll use the same AI system that they have now for it, i.e. you can always let the AI pilot take over and fly simple patterns like straight forward, orbit, etc., and tell it when and how to open fire.

Seems very straight forward to me. The fact that they're putting down maybe 3 Tomahawks on an ammo dump is certainly enough to ask that rhetorical question. Then there's some things like that they're laughing. It's not WW2, ammo dumps these days are kept inside major bases, so they'd hardly be laughing if that was a Coalition ammo dump going up.

Speculating doesn't help, but as long as this thread's around, there's not much helping it. If rumors spread here is enough to hurt the dev team, then A, it's up to the moderators to close the thread, and B, things are in such a bad state at the dev team's end that the module is down for the counting either way.
