  1. I know there is no autopilot in the real world Hawk, but I do enjoy the AP for those longer flights. Would be nice if it was kept as an option. So far, I love the aircraft. I can't wait for the coming changes. You just can't get better customer support. VEAO is top notch. For any of you that are considering buying this aircraft, the YouTube videos don't do it any justice.
  2. There are some glitches that I've found withing the first few minutes of flight: radio menu doesn't open, air brake opens but won't close, flaps don't work. I'm sure the textures are WIP so no need for comment there.
  3. Thanks for the work you put into this.
  4. I pre-purchased the Hawk through the DCS store when it was first offered. I would like to purchase the EFM version. I'm confused as to how to do so. Will DCS offer an upgrade? As much as I would like the aircraft as soon as possible, I don't want to make a mess of things for myself.
  5. I'm in the same situation.... Made the sfm pre purchase through DCS. I will gladly buy the pre purchase EFM but I'm afraid I'm only going to confuse things and create a problem.
  6. Renaming worked fine. You have to rename both the ENG and RUS or it will just automatically go to the Russian voice. Thanks guys.
  7. Yeah, I want a video of the activation key........ When you're done with that...maybe a video of the aircraft.....thanks. :))
  8. Hopefully some of you will post a video or two so poor soles like myself (DCS orderer) can get a look.
  9. I use voice commands (Voice Attack) and would like to remove the pilot voice. Is there a way to either lower the pilot voice volume or remove it?
  10. I ordered through DCS as well......I'm now in the throes of deep, deep sadness. There's only one solution.......rocking on the floor in the fetal position.......hitting myself.......calling out to my deceased mother and blaming the NY Mets mascot (Mr. MET) for whatever childhood trauma that has just been triggered. But hey, that's just me....
  11. Thank-you. You can't ask for more than that.
  12. There are a number of times I fly a simple cross country mission in IMC. Throw in some wind, thunderstorms and you have your hands full on the ILS approach. I enjoy that sometimes more than combat. I often take the TF-51 on an early morning flight and practice some aerobatics. I pre-purchased the Hawk just for that reason.... I appreciate the fact the DCS can be tailored to individual needs.
  13. That's fantastic. Your son will never forget it. He won't really appreciate it though until he has a son.
  14. Gerry Abbott (FISH) does a brilliant job with all of his tutorials. The navigation videos are no exception. I believe there are 4 parts. I HIGHLY suggest viewing them all.
  15. I heard the message at the FENCE CHECK. When I got to WP 4 I did not hear ANY message. On one attempt, after passing through WP 4, I circled back again to be sure that I hit it exactly. Still no joy. It could very well be me and most likely is, but I've never really had a problem finding smoke on the deck before.
  16. I'm having a problem with AFT 04, which appears to be a very simple mission. Both in the practice mission and the qualification mission, it doesn't appear that the target is triggered. Once I arrive at the IP, there is no direction from the FE. That's no problem so I tried to call in but the only F10 option I have is, "One, copy." I look for red smoke but it doesn't appear. The elevation for WP 5 is 8000. So I start looking with my eyes and the TGP but no joy. There are no specific TOTs in the brief with the exception of takeoff time. I didn't know if it was me or if the new update may have changed something.
  17. Is the scale correct? The seams in the runway appear very wide? It looks like the entire tire would fit into it.

    HAWK Night Flight

    The attitude indicators look a little flat, not round. They don't seem to match in detail the rest of the cockpit. Is that an accurate observation on my part or am I just not seeing it right?

    Carrier Ops

    Looking forward to it as I'm on your server just about every night. Thanks.

    Carrier Ops

    Like most of you, I'm looking forward to the release of the F/A18E as well as carrier ops. Forgive my ignorance, but will carrier ops be available in multi-player? I'm guessing that a small number of players could be accommodated. However, in the case of servers hosting several players (e.g. 104th Phoenix), how would that be accomplished? Carrier ops isn't a deal breaker for me by any stretch. I'm looking forward to the next few months of DCS.
  21. When I experienced the shaking, the winds were 3 m/s; slight crosswind.
