Saruman

Same for me, and I was awarded a medal with "warning missing texture" too. Guess it's some sort of bug.

So, the real f15 hasn't any way to declutter contacts on the radar?!

A10C

Nothing that could ruin your experience, to be honest. Rather than going back only to BMS (that I use a lot too), I suggest you to try A10C module (a great one, on par with BMS as level of simulation). Or you could dedicate to helo (I have KA50 and Huey). Anyway, still loving pure sims, I bought yesterday FC3 and I find it a nice product, perfect to use when you are tired and you want to enjoy a flight using something lighter than BMS or A10C and other advanced modules. Add to this that FC3 is anyway far from being considered arcade. To the opposite, I had to print some parts of the manual to study them to use the various aircrafts (I'm mainly sticking to F15C). It's simple, but not THAT simple you can plug the hotas and go around, so there is a component of study (and if you like sims, you like studying documentation). For $19.99, I can't do anything else than suggest people to try FC3, because it's entertaining for the sale price it has.

If only a voice integrated system, based on frequencies, was in DCS, there would be no problem, since you could call the raygun on the channel guard. Hope ED can work on such a thing once they finish working on EDGE.

In modern era, if you enter dogfight you did something very wrong. BVR engagement dominates

All well in the second mission, apart from subtitles sometimes not displaying. The mission was a bit boring, to be honest, but I guess it's because it's single player. With a friend it would have been cool to do some acrobatic maneuver here and there. Going to test the third one in the week end

In version 0.2, campaign still doesn't progress from mission 1. That said, now going to try directly mission 2 to get some action. P.S.: perhaps you should adopt another scheme for the versioning or you'll arrive pretty soon to 1.0 even if it's still in beta. In other words, you should slow down the release numbers a bit imho :)

Nope, sorry. Even with the new beta release, I landed in Kobuleti but nonetheless couldn't get past mission 1 :(

Thank you very much. Downloading and trying the first mission right now :) EDIT: I tried the very first mission and I liked it. I find that it increases the immersion, even if I would have liked to have more alternatives while chatting with my wingman: in some occasions, in fact, I had only once choice, so I felt forced to continue speaking with the only one available option to see where it all was going to end. With this premise, technically I met two problems, I dunno if they depend on me or from the mission itself: 1) sometimes subtitles appeared twice while chatting. That's something that never happens in other mission, both in single or multi player mode; 2) I landed succesfully in Kobuleti (by the way, nice surprise at the end of the runway), did all the taxy out, arrived to the parking zone and did even a system off of the aircraft to increase the realism of the situation, but, when I quit, I received a message about me not completing the goals and thus failing the campaign.

No, it's not that simply. TS doesn't substitute radio communications. One thing per all: doing radio comms you have to interact with frequencies and so on, so... If you ever play Falcon BMS, you'll learn that IVC is much better than TS. For example, I can talk by using UHF channel with all the flights, while talking with my flight on VHF. How many whisper rules should I create to accomplish that by using TS? If you want to play arcade, fine. But since ED should create a simulation environment, it's simply an epic fail for them not to implement TARS-like system in their products. (but guess what, they aren't able until now to do an fps-friendly graphic engine or anything that requires efficient coding skills too, to be honest)

I'd like to test it, but be aware that I haven't a lot of free time, so I cannot guarantee 100% to be able to thoroughly inspect it.

Oh, I see. Thanks for the link!

Is the laser visible to human eyes in RL? I don't know why, but I always thought it's not (but never checked for that, so no surprise I was wrong).

Is anyway the cheaper 760 (~200 €) worth the money, compared to the 560ti?
