Yes we test what is not released and generally no, we are not hands-on with coding. There are however, as always, exeptions.

That's the inherent danger of basing personal assumptions on insufficient information ;)

Probably best just to wait it out at this stage of proceedings. EDGE is being integrated into the entire code-base and until that is complete and there exists a single, unified platform with which to move forward with any attempt at contemplating any type of 'public' bug-reporting system is not even worth contemplating. In any event, sitting on this side of the fence (tester) I am firmly of the opinion that any type of public reporting system will be a disaster. Forum reports, as currently in use, are just about the best for this (ED's) particular set of circumstances.

They should be called 'Handers' then, what with all the inverted-dive-negative-G hand movements: ewzwvAnFFRE :P

^^^^^^^^ Polaroid or it didn't happen! :P

Welcome :) Ed Macey's a member here as well although he has not been around in a good while.

Use a file hosting service - lots of them floating about.

Aaaah yes I remember that :megalol:

:) The ONLY prayer you might have is if you get caught in the Valleys. Truth is that the A-10 is just too damn slow to be anything other than a target drone. Accept this and go down swinging: Don't run. If you cannot get fighter support immediately then go on the offensive. Us Bomber-Boys do get lucky every so often and it's all the sweeter when flying a truck.

Guessing it's the Channel Map at $16-99 for ROF?

It is, as long as you install Classic Shell and forget about the useless Apps :D

How? Why? When? Where? Seriously though, one would expect that they would be running by default. In any event, I don't know and he certainly will not know of any required services, never mind how to get them running/check on them. WTF is a FIL? Yep - everything was fine until the update to 8.1. Nothing else installed, no. Just windows defender et al - no third-party virus software.

OK, now that I have you attention, fess up: Who read Starforce? :P Back on topic, those old timers that remember will recall the epic rages of some in 'those' days past. Trust me when I tell you that that rage has NOTHING on the tantrum my father-in-law threw when he updated to Win 8.1 and realised that said update ate his Apps! Long story short: After updating, Apps will not start/run at all. Also cannot access App store. At first he was getting an error that there was no internet connection (which there obviously was - I checked). That seemed to resolve itself - no error atm, Apps just fail to load/start. Any ideas? I googled the issue, but am confronted with a wall of textspeak/registry hacks etc etc and don't want to fiddle too much.

Every.......single.....time.......I read 'free' and 'ED' in the same sentence my heart bleeds a little...........

No. No. Eject.

Tried a repair yet?

Aye, I know them as a Ratel and yeah, they are ten types of angry all wrapped up in a cute pile of fur and teeth!!!! http://www.badassoftheweek.com/honeybadger.html

How true! It's all about mitigating the hurt. I have found that resorting to blissful ignorance also helps sometimes, that's of course until reality turns around and rearranges the marbles.

Be thankful it's not a kangaroo that beat you about the head........ ........for asking such a silly question :P

Nice find! Good to see the trusty 'ol Bungee cord has not been forgotten :megalol:

A couple of seconds? To clarify, the Igla MANPAD system is modular, consisting for the purpose of this discussion a Launcher Control Assembly and the Launch Tube. The launch tube is a sealed unit with the missile contained in said tube. Once launched, the missile tube can be 'recycled', ie a new missile loaded and sealed in the tube and ready for next launch. This usually takes place at the base/supply depot but I see no reason why it cannot happen in-field in an operational situation. Be that as it may, that's not what is strictly relevant here: I mentioned that the system is modular, ie at operational deployment you as MANPAD operator will have multiple launch tubes at your disposal, the number obviously dependant on operational parameters, supply-lines etc etc. Subsequent to launch, the now-empty launch tube is detached from the Launcher Control Assembly. A new launch tube is taken and clipped into place on the Launcher Control Assembly and you're ready to fire again. Rinse and Repeat. As you can see, a couple of seconds is maybe a guess, but it's as quick as the #2 can get a new launch tube attached to the assembly and the time it takes for #1 to track.

It is.

2007, Moscow Air Show:

This. With the imminent (and I use the term 'imminent' in the loosest possible sense) release/integration of EDGE into DCS World and all attendant modules, any discussion of current DCS performance is about as useless as a one legged cat trying to bury a turd on a frozen lake...... Just sayin'.
