  1. Not as clear as this one, also it takes out the long boring travels where nothing happens and put you right into action. (Great for people that dont have to much time to play). And landing on carrier is not obligatory.. (for those who struggle). And the air refueling is scripted(still cant do it adter 13 years playing this game:p.) Im a noob in the F18 and its the first campain I actually can make progress. Higly reccomend it for noobs like me:)
  2. Im also new to the F18 like OP and found the payware «Rising squall» campain to be very noob friendly. Like how it tells me in briefing what knowledge I need to have to play each mission.
  3. Thanks guys, think I got it now:)
  4. Just came back to the A10c2 after long time, I noticed the CCRP mode has changed with certain bombs. E.g the gbu12 uses symbology Im familiar with, but the gbu38 has something else that I dont understand at all. I have googled and tried to find tutorial on howto use it but cant find anything. What I dont understand is when to press weapon release. The old method was simple with that counter dropping down through the circle. But this new mode I cant wrap my head around it…
  5. Last time I travelled with an airliner my 4 year old daughter was asking me why the plane is standing still and not moving at all, when we where in the flight levels... She could not feel the speed, so even in real life, perception of speed can be like that..
  6. Ending with a line we are working on dedicated servers, my question was aimed at communety run server like blue flag, pheonix, agg cold war etc running on beta branch. Did i offend ED in some way? Was a legit question on why splitting the communety, again, into 2 branches. Not EDs fault but the communety refusing to use stable for some odd reason. These servers kinda represent the best of mp has to offer in DCS, its a shame to hide them for new users coming into DCS and that may never frquent the forums to realise what it has to offer.

    Stable vs OB

    Myself jumped straight into mp when i got into dcs, had never flown a flightsim in my life. If pheonix server wasnt around at that time with dcent population, i would leave the game, took me atleast a year to register on the forum. Many people coming into this from steam would come to a game with almost no life in mp, they would just think, ah this game isnt that popular,,,... this mp beta trend can ruin the influx of new people too the game. Even me, a seasoned mp dcs player, it took me a week to find out what was going on, could not wrap my head around it, after a holiday, coming back and not finding a server too play on. Was just lucky to stumble upon a thread in the bugs forum.... And even if its a stable beta, many people will refuse to run somthing with beta in its name, because it implies its gonna be some unstable shit... and going back and forth beetwen stable sounds very inconvinient... This kinda makes me wanna drop mp for a while to dive into sp, until the good servers decide too go back to stable..
  8. What on earth was the big mp communetus thinking when deciding to only host on the beta branch.. Tought the days of having 2 installs was supposed to stop after the merge, now the mp communety decide to split the commeunety again. Wtf... what about new players joining, log in and see that this game is dead in mp decide to just leave it, without knowing that the old eleitist is hiding in a beta branch.. And what about when the beta breaks somthing and we all will be in singleplayer for a week waiting for a fix... Am I alone in feeling this is kinda stupid
  9. All DCS assets should be for free and included for server hosters to use as they like, this Asset DLC thing is gonna mess up MP and isnt gonna help it grow. Now that ED has excluded me from ww2, how do i go about getting a refund for my ww2 planes? Is it possible, as my intrest in DCS ww2 died with todays news...
  10. That would be nice, im all in for realism
  11. Oh really, yeah sure you can fly whatever you want, but it is afterall a ww2 map with buildings, atlantic wall and airport from that era, not a modern version of normandy, so it is a ww2 theater even if one tries to imagine it to be somthing else.... if it was 2 maps in one on the other hand, one modern and one old version I would agree with you, but it is not.. The name Normandy 1944 says it all....
  12. I have not asked for everything for "free", but Ii was under the assumtion when i buy a ww2 map It would include all units that is needed to simulate the theater, what else would i need a ww2 map for... 40 bucks for it all I think would be fair and they should not be separate products wich will only make poeple angry and can cause alot of confusion. Having a little bit less steeper price to buy into DCS ww2 i would tink would attract more people, hence more money too ED even if they sell things a little cheaper. I know they have to earn money and stuff, but they sell planes and maps, that should be enough. Imagine if IL 2 started taking money for the assets, would anyone buy into that sim at all, im sure DCS fanboys (me excluded) have no problem with it, im more worried about the potential other customers coming in from the other ww2 sims...
  13. Ok, that list was not in the newsletter i read, dunno where this came from but ok, still not complete ww2.. But how long will it take before we get the rest for free? Knowing how slow DCS development is maybe 5 too seven years before we will get all those assets and still its not a complete ww2 scenario, maybe it was all units that was fighting over normandy, dunno, but what is next, when we get a new ww2 theater, we wil have too buy new assets that fit for the new one too? Anyway, I hate the idea off paying for assets, and I think this is gonna hurt ED in the long run, I can imagine that if someone playing IL2 bos/clod that maybe was intrested in DCS WW2 before is gonna be put off by this great news. Also, is this gonna be the norm for every theater we buy from now on? Nah my intrest in DCS WW2 just went from exited to dissapointed, im gonna stay with IL 2 for now and just play modern warfare for free in the Georgia theater(or maybe when 2.5 comes out we have to pay for the improved terrain, assets in that map too)
  14. Im looking at the world weekend news, and it has only one plane listed, B17g bomber. Unlesss there is a list somehwere else i missed i cant see it, though the newsletter mentions additional assets created will be given for free too those thta own the asset pack im not sure i can wait 7 years before they are included... If im gonna pay for the asset(wich im not) atleast i would expect the theater to be complete before paying anything..
  15. Wtf, didn't see this one coming. Wont buy into this now, i simply refuse too buy something that should have been included with the ww2 map. And the list of units in that pack isn't even a complete set of units from ww2. Just one AI plane? I dont like the direction this is going at all:(...
  16. I disagree, i think having the possibility to switch teams anytime is gonna do alot for balancing. A few years back i played alot of Rise of flight, and everytime it started getting unbalanced on a server someone in the chat wrote "2 versus 15, really guys" , then someone else replied, "oh shit, didnt notice, ill switch side" and in 1 minute the server was balanced. The communety was great at that, even people that hated flying british planes switched from german just to make it fun for everyone. It was great. Im sure the same could happen here as these simmers useally are a nice bunch of people and everyone wants to have fun. What fun is there really in being on a team of fifteen against one guy on the other side? For me that is boring, not having any targets. Personally i picked up the habit from ROF, when i enter servers i always pick the underdog just to try an even the odds+ its always nice to have somthing to shoot at instead of competing with 20 other players who is the first to shoot down that 1 guy on the other team:p. It's a pity i cant do this on blue flag server:( I started playing on these server a few months ago and for me it always have been pretty unbalanced, mostly i expirience that my team either has 3 versus 20 or im at a team with 20 against 3, not fun at all.... think i only had one session where it was halfway decent balanced. I just like to add, even if it looks like im always bithcing and complaining about things, its just because i love the game too much and i kinda get to emmotional about it and then it just go crazy from there and sometimes i end up in flamewars just because my passion for the game/server/weather:p whatever is too much. Never take me seriously, im crazy, lol
  17. Can we have some weather please? Kinda boring always flying with unrealisticly good weather, everyone always seem too want realism in this server aka no kill messages etc, but when something more than a slight breeze gets added everyone goes nuts and complain, why?? Would have been cool to have what they have on the DCS-nl server, realtime weather. If that server was PVP i would have just flown there, but it's coop wich is kinda boring for me. But i sometimes just go there to have some crosswind landings and generally get my weather "fix". While im at bitching about realism, why is simple radio set to the most unrealistic settings?
  18. This has annoyed me too, I joined blue flag to use simple radio and choose the Red side because it seemed like they needed people, blue side seems to always have more players, but no one is using the coms, they seem to use the text chat instead, or hiding in teamspeak, wich defeats the purpose of having simpleradio???:huh:. So Im kinda tempted to join blue side just to get on the radio. I have only once got a reply "five by five" but that was pretty much it:p, the CGI was on text chat typing out orders, very immersive:(...
  19. Yeah, problem is, I cant't stand shimmering, it hurt my eyes, makes my brain wanna explode and my mood turns too ,turning down AA is the last thing I want too do, heck I even run DSR x2.25 to smooth the edges even moore... Tried lowering shadows, too, but they are so ugly on medium, I cant stand it, infact, I cant make myself lowering anything, hence I just do the most simple tweak of all, I don't fly the Mig 21 anymore, a shame really, because I love the plane, it's history and that it is a 3rd gen fighter. So guys, you really cant help me, really. Only ones who can is LNS, but they don't seem to want to improve it, well what can i do.... Only thing I can do is to use the modules that work for me, and leave the others. Im sure gonna research the modules I buy from now on so I don't get more of these performance killer modules..
  20. When I bought the Mig, my hardware wasnt exactly museum relic material though..... And I have bought the product with "maybe" honest earned cash, and even if Im not using it(reason, performance sucks), it's my right as a customer to complain about it. If I got a refund right now, I would smile and shut up...and never look back...
  21. If DCS had "presets" I could change on the fly I may have bothered with tweaking settings(but there is a limit on how much 2006'ish I want the sim too look), wich I don't need help with BTW. But it is so annying having to change settings everytime I want to jump into the mig 21 and also have to remember what it was, so I don't want to bother with it+the graphics look like shit after tweaking. It's much more convinient for me and leave the settings like it is and enjoy ALL my other modules instead than have to worry about changing settings everytime I jump into the mig 21. Nah, unless performance improve, I'll leave the mig in the hangar catching dust and forget that a company called LNS even existed...
  22. I agree this module is beatyful, but the low frames takes away all my joy with it, unfortunetly. Also, I cant just buy 8 GB extra RAM, I have to buy 16GB, because you should always use the same batch of chips, buying a new batch of RAM and mix with my old ones, even if the same brand/type, can cause a lot of issues(been there). And also since Im upgrading my whole computer next year, it doesnt' make sense for me buying those 16GB now wich cost around 150 euro, when I'll have to throw them away next year anyway(kaby lake use DDR4, wich is what i need next year). You might aswell close it, been going around in circles, and Im not here for computer upgrade advice, I was here to complain why this module is so demanding on performance compared to other modules around, and to hear if there was any plans from the devs to improve on it, wich seems not too be the case. So the whole point of the thread is already gone. And also it would help me from getting the ban hammer on me, because I kinda get stirred up easy, and might say things I don't mean in a "momentary lapse of reason".
  23. Thank god there is one more soul in this universe that see what Im trying to say, after 3 pages of flaming back and fourth. Bless you sir:)
  24. C'mon, everyone that hasn't lived on the moon tha last couple of years does know that the Mig 21 is quite heavier performance wise than all the other modules, saying something else is just a pure lie, and you know it... It may be less noticible if having a uber computer, but for us normal mortal folks it's very noticible Ok mate, I guess I'll see some improvements in 2018, when I upgrade to kaby lake. But still, I dont like the idea of a module sucking out so much performance of the Sim, so personally, im gonna stay away from LNS products in the foreseeable future... Ok, im tired, over and out, you guys may continue without me, abi...
  25. To many replies, so I missed yours, sorry, and no Im not a troll, just a unsatisfied customer.... I dont want assiatance, I want LNS to get their finger out and make their module on par(performance wise) with the other modules from other devs.. Also to answer your post, no, i dont have old files from earlier releases laying around, came back from holiday 2 weeks ago, reinstalled windows, and DCS, so everything should be fine...
