One change I am glad to see is the terrain elevations at the airports has been fixed. No longer do I fear falling off the cliffs at Creech and Groom.

You guys are awesome, thank you for your group's contributions to the community.

Well at least it's not just me.

If your landing gear malfunctions...your roll out will still be very shot without the A-gear ;).

Someone found the diamond in the rough.

What I've done is place a static plane, then using a trigger set a small explosion either on the object or very close to damage the aircraft.

The Huey can be frustrating to master, but once you do it is very rewarding. The Huey was my first attempt at helicopters in DCS, it took a couple of months to really master flight and the transitions from hover and back again. But like I said once you do master it, you will want to fly nothing else.

LCTRL+F11 will get you the ability to free-look around your plane, not a terrible way to do a walkaround. But yeah I would love to have some ground crews especially in the EOR areas at Nellis.

I vote for a thread name change to "DCS Hype Train" :)

Being a very dated model, perhaps a newer version would be in order (a kid can dream anyways).

Nazi problem solved.

Or, they could bring back the KC-10 which has both boom and drogue on the centerline.

That is a very unupdaty update.

I will only buy it if the devs make sure to add dripping hydrolic fluid and/or oil from the ceiling and other places.

Oh gawd Bond...why oh why would you fly into White Stains?

^^ I approve of this message

Oh cool, I was afraid that doing something like that would cause a spontaneous formation of a black hole in my living room.

Is there a way to transmit on say a VHF and UHF at the same time? This would be great for ATC type ops.

Added the fact the both Emirates and Etihad Airways, 2 of the worlds largest airlines are headquartered in Dubai and Abu Dhabi respectively, and would likely not cease operations during a conflict due to the fact that they need to make money. So flights into and out of those cities, while they may get rerouted would still be an obstacle in those cities.

I agree with most of this, although request for startup is a requirement at some military bases because a lineman/follow me/escort is required for engine starts and taxi, so this is a request for the tower to send one of those out. Also we need to also have the winds expressed in knots not m/s.

You mean that the SoH is so deep in civil aircraft that it cannot even be seen on the map other than the giant yellow blob? And this is even hours before sunrise. Imagine what it would look like around midday.

I will just leave this here

Think "Red Dawn" (the original not that horrible remake). Or perhaps a modern civil war type battle (USAF Aggressors are great for that idea). There are many possibilities with the Nevada map, just use your imagination. Also the need for civil traffic, they are a constant presence in today's battle space. The upcoming SoH map will be home to 2 of the largest airlines in the world. The airspace above the UAE is one of the most heavily traveled air corridors with flights traveling to and from Europe. In Nevada KLAS is home to several major airlines, the surrounding airports are home to literally thousands of small aircraft, not even counting the tour helicopters. Also the airspace of Georgia is a heavily traveled air corridor connecting to the same corridor that traverses Iraq and the UAE. Civilian aircraft are a very important obstacle and a welcome addition to the DCS universe.

It's a WIP placeholder for an upcoming addition to the game. As far as I know it's not functional yet.
