  1. Too bad there is no damage model for tanks yet. Even simple one like attacking from front or rear and hitting ammo/motor parts. Or is it?

     

    From my experience the tanks have only some kind of healt bar feel to them where they are either working at 100% or destroyed and nothing between.

     

    I wonder if it would have high hit on performace if hits would have to be counted in real time from high rate of fire weapons. I suppose the multicore support which is still missing could help in this case, or not?

  2. Just finished reading the book "Stuka pilot" from Hans-Ulrich Rudel!

     

    Sign me in, this will be epic addition to DCS WW2.

     

    Too bad that Normandy is being done for this era as Stuka was shining mainly at Eastern front but I will enjoy flying it anyway.

  3. That map can be used for anything you want it to be...It IS used as a WARzone map all the time. I guilt a mission that kept 5 guys occupied for 2 hours the other day in about 45 minutes. Just takes a little imagination.

    What I meant is war simulation between two countries with border crossing. Nevada is not suited for it. You can do a fictional scenario for sure but it will not make much sence, unless you would make one of side countries the enemy and the map would expand that way in future.

  4. The fact that there are only 4 airfields currently and they are contained in a single 130km long strip of dirt deserves a mention. I say that as an NTTR fan, I highly recommend it to my fellow whirlybird flyers.

     

     

    Its not a warzone map thats for sure. The map will be more suited for terorrist missions, rescue missions, city riots and training overall.

  5. Good day fellow simmers. We have prepared "First look" article about Nevada for those of you who are still considering to buy or not.

     

    You can view the English preview here: ENGLISH

     

    And for the few of you who speak Czech, you can read it here: CZECH

     

    Let us know if you are missing something in the article and we will answer your questions here.

  6. I've read it second time now and you are right... hmm 50% off a month after release even if it is under the bonus system is strange.

     

    Maybe a lesson for next time? Either get goodies with pre-sell or wait a month to get 50% off, taking in account you have enough bonus money and that it only counts for ED modules and not 3rd party.

     

    Hmm :huh:

  7. Newsletter says if I use bonus I can buy NTTR with 50% reduction.

    I am completely uninterested in either campaign, so that doesnt make up for the fact if I waited I would have been able to get NTTR with 50% off rather than the pre purchase 20% off.

     

    Only the campaigns are available for discount, not the map, and only via the bonus system.

     

    New modules are usually not on discounts for several months after release.

  8. I was thinkink a bit. I will always have to buy a module with map or either i will not be able to play the single player campaign linked to it right (i suppose the campaigns will be always on new maps and not in Georgia)? Well that kinda sorts things out. Maps will be available separately for those who do not want the aircraft but should be included by default with the module or else I will cut myself from the single player element... Or not? Am I missing something?

  9. I think that it was said some time ago, that you will be able to choose if you want only the aircraft or a complete bundle. The difference here will be the ending price.

     

    It will be interesting to see how other modules will then compare to LNS ones in regards of content. Mirage, even though it looks promising, is a bare bone half functioning module with no missions, map... yet it cost more than anything else in the store. If LNS will be able to pull this full feature package right away for release for similiar price, then it will be epic for us, the customers.

  10. I've found out that the store houses at each airport do not have the fuel tanks in store if you do not set them to unlimited.

     

    Click on the airport buildings, you should get the warehouse list, mark all tabs as unlimited supply.

     

    Regarding the radio and resupply, you do not have to open the canopy, just turn on the Battery. It works for me (i suppose you need to have the easy communications enabled on server).

  11. Does the mission feature limited supplies? I've had no problems loading the aircraft with fuel tanks (center line or wing) in both 2.0 and 1.5.2 but I do have a freeflight mission where I have no supplies at airbases except for smoke and fuel tanks and I can't select the tanks without changing the mission

     

    That could be the problem, but to be honest I was unable to find where this can be set up.

     

    Mission or map options do not contain this option.

  12. Maybe I'm missing something but I'm unable to mount fuel tanks on Mirage in our multiplayer mission in 1.5.2

     

    I've put the Mirage on two different airports, assigned different countries to them yet still its impossible to mount fuel tanks on them. Missiles and bombs are no problem.

     

    When I try to select the fuel tank from the equipment list, it's just blank.

     

    Do I have to do anything specific in mission editor to be able to equipt the M2000C with fuel tanks?

     

    Creating loadout in editor did not help either. When I select it ingame the ground crew does not install them.

     

    Thank you for any leads for the root of this issue.

  13. Will there be a changelog? Many things are changed apparently but I can't tell if some of them are bugs or new wanted behaviour.

     

    Would be good to know what was changed deliberately to not post useless bug reports.

     

    This is in no way a complain, just asking.

  14. Yes, people forget (or don't know) that torrenting files becomes quite inefficient the higher the ratio between the seeders and the leechers. What Im guessing is happening at the moment there is a huge discrepancy (maybe as large as 10:1) of leechers versus seeders and unfortunately that will lead to slow speeds.

     

    There is nothing ED can do about that. Aggravating the situation is the fact that a lot of people have a throttled upload speed and quit the swarm as soon as they complete the download.

     

     

    Unfortunately the updater quits you out of the swarm as soon as the download is done. There is no option to stay and seed.
