Q: Can you please explain more about the "Carrier DCL"? Does this mean that Hornet will not be able to do naval ops without said DLC?

+1 Yeah, at least a new free 3d model and a functioning arresting hooks, catapults and an LSO would be nice for the most sophisticated DCS airplane module yet. Don't know what you'd include in a paid AI aircraft carrier, but I'd have to be pretty darn impressive to justify having no free carrier for Hornet. (the old non-functioning one from LOMAC doesn't really count) But as long as hypothetical "Aircraft carrier DLC" is not set in stone, it's not a biggie.

Hello, virtual pilots. Me and some of my friends will organize a DCS MP event next week. It's going to be a PvP campaign, mixed with various AI units, set in the early 90's. So that means lots of Sparrows, R-27's and no "spamraams". :) There will be different objectives that will have to be completed by each side and the other side will try to prevent it. After each mission, an assessment will be made and the next mission will reflect the results of previous battles. First operation will be a test run with max 16 players, and will therefore only include F-15 for blue team and Su-27 for read team. It's going to include various tasks such as OCA, DCA and escort. The scenario will run approx. 90-120 minutes and will be quite straight to the point. Airframes are going to be limited in quantity, so reckless flying can result in unnecessary deaths which will in turn affect the end result. Event will start on Tuesday 25.8, at 20:00 GMT+1, server name will be: OP Sentinel. What will you need? - Latest version of DCS and FC3. - Team Speak and mic. In order to avoid a pure deathmatch scenario, participants are required to use TS. This will hopefully spawn cooperation and the use of tactics. If you're interested in joining, please let me know. :) And a short promo video, which also sets the background for the scenario:

I'm trying to make a flyable Mirage-2000, everything works alright with the exception that it's wheels don't hold the plane on the ground. When I try ramp start, the plane falls down and explodes. Any ideas? Here is the dl for my current state of the mod: http://www.filedropper.com/mirage2000-5

Yeah, there is a Mig-29K mod somewhere. Fun little thing to fly in FC3.

Sounds reasonable enough. :) I'll stick with the oldest equipment available to the planes and that should do the trick. Thanks for the input.

Since you're knowledgeable about this, do you maybe have an idea how to balance it out even more? For late 80's or very early 90's scenario.

Is it fair to say that currently in DCS, AIM-7M, AIM-9M vs R-27R and R-73 is the most fair fight that F-15 and Su-27 can do in this sim?

Is there a way to enable them? It appears that Harrier and KC-10 have been reactivated. http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/377060/ Would be great to have the others also. :)

Will there be a visual wet runway effect and will a wet runway affect the ground handling? Any chance for rain droplets on the canopies in DCS 2?

Woah, the will be one mean machine in the DCS skies!

How can I make a skin for F-16A? I dont know how to call the dds files in the skin folder. For example, in F-15C it's like: livery = { {"f15nose", 0 ,"f15_noseF",false}; But how do I know how to do it for F-16A? Thanks for help! :)

But we do not have a KC-10 in-game, do we?

Thank you for the answer. I wish you good luck with your projects.

What does AVIA have to do with the map that was shown on the previous page? I asked a simple question. Will general public be able to buy these maps?

Is there a tanker in the game that can refuel this bird?

Who is making them? Devs or some modders that will keep them private for all eternity? :)

Thank you for the answer. I will try to do it. :)

Thanks for clarification. Good luck with this! Can't wait to fly it.

If we're on this topic about ZSU-23... Is it possible to increase it's range? So that it fires really high? Like AAA on pictures from Gulf War 1?

Woot! :pilotfly: How about the flight model? Is it finished? You didn't mention it on your to-do list.

Amazing! Great progress!

Bravo! :)

Actually they did say multiple times that they're looking at 2015 release.

This is looking very, very promising! Really glad to hear that you're gonna give it Exocet and Armat! A DCS multi-role plane in 2015? Colour me amazed. :)
