Having trouble with this since updating to the latest version - the first F/A18 takes off but no other aircraft on the base make it into the air. It worked fine before the most recent update.

+1

I think the change log in the latest patch included a line saying this problem had been fixed.

Just fired this up yesterday and noticed I couldn't switch on labels in the campaign - seemed to work fine in single player. It's no problem to fly without them but sometimes they can be quite helpful. Just wondering if it's planned or a bug of some kind.

Right you are! Forgot it was there to be honest :doh:

Yep, this is badly needed, hope to see it at some stage in the future. The S3 is the only aircraft that can do this in-game so far and it's out of service in real life. Would be nice to have a USAF or French Air Force KC-135 with a drogue. The latter would add some more realism to upcoming Mirage missions/campaigns.

Agreed, it would be great to see this fixed at some point.

In the campaign, civilian ground traffic isn't appearing on the roads below. Just wondering if this is a bug or if there's something I need to change in my settings? It works fine in all other missions.

Great campaign so far, I'm loving the attention to detail, good job guys! Just wondering if you fail to complete a mission, does it roll back to a previous stage like the stock MIG-21 campaign? Had to exit a mission yesterday and found myself having to complete the one before for the second time.

Terrible plot but it does have some great aerial shots of the Mirage. It's a shame that most aviation movies are going in the CGI direction these days. At least this one shows what you can do with some nice camera work and a nice looking aircraft.

Did Razbam ever confirm whether a French version of the KC135 would be added to the module eventually? Seems pretty similar to the U.S. version, just with a hose and basket hanging off the boom.

Some information about this would be great, especially about the airfields and countries included. There should be a lot of flexibility there with players potentially able to fly IRIAF MIG29s, SU25s, F5s, Saudi F15Cs, UAE Mirage 2000s and so on.

Completely agreed. It would be great if ED looked into this one. At the moment, I can detect vehicles on the road but the pod is pretty much useless.

I flew the A10 for the first time in ages lastnight and I thought I was just tired and not able to see the targets. There was an entire tank column parked next to the road and I couldn't detect them. Hugely frustrating. I had 2 GBU38s and 3 GBU12s I just couldn't use.

Not sure if this one was reported but after the third hotfix, whenever an allied flight is returning to base, their radio message continues constantly. Like "Pontiac flight is RTB" over and over again on a loop. All other radio chatter seems fine - just the RTB messages get jammed. Anyone else experiencing this?

I'd also love to see the fan one day. It would also be great to get the wipers working in a future update, like in the Ka50.

Will AI wingmen speak French or English with French accents?

I think it's important to get advanced AI units like Rafales, Eurofighters, F-22s, J-10s and SU-35s into DCS for the sake of realism/creating realistic strike packages. F-15Cs are already fighting MIG-21s in the game world - it is pretty natural to have superior units fighting with and against you. The Eurofighter would cover the main fighter aircraft of the UK, Spain, Germany, Italy, Saudi Arabia (thinking Hormuz map) and Austria in the game and give mission makers far more options.

Same here. It would be great if they could include some relevant French AI units like the Mirage 2000D or Rafale. They would also fit nicely into the campaign.

This looks fantastic! Definite purchase from me. Well done guys, great work!

Oh I'm really looking forward to this. Should be great fun flying it for Iran on the Hormuz map, along with the F14.

This looks great, I'll probably pick it up at some stage during one of the sales. But as a guy who plays a lot of single player, I'd also like to know if it comes with a campaign. Maybe something simple where you do some rocket/bomb attacks on insurgents.

As nice as it would be, that would be an extremely complicated project, just imagine how difficult it would be to model the TADs and helmet mounted systems. While the earlier A model could probably be done accurately, the D and E versions still contain classified equipment which would limit the possibility of any project living up to DCS standards. But hopefully we'll see an Apache module some day in the future. At the moment, ED have their hands full with the Hornet and other projects.

Great new look. Well done guys!

Apart from the autopilot critique, was your father generally impressed by the Mi8 in DCS?
