  1. Yet, we're getting the Juliet. Also, it's an airframe that was involved with other air arms around the world, too, not just American ones. By that logic, I could say it's "wrong" since it isn't the F-8E(FN) or F-8P. What if I *really* wanted the SHERLOC RWR? This is just the reality of DCS development; the best documentation about the nitty gritty may make the Juliet the most accessible one for development. When HB comes around to working on the Intruder, I'd want a SWIP A-6 with all of the neatest kit, but we take what we get.
  2. Don't leave the aircraft in a position where it's experiencing 0 G's. Negative G's are not recommended but, no G's even worse. You're disrupting the fuel injection with the changes in G-force. It can handle it positive, not so much negative, and not at all in absence of G force. Don't break 1300kph or Mach 2.1~ (Whichever you arrive at first) as you'll over speed the intake's capacity to slow the air down for combustion. That's it! It's easy. EDIT: added explanations
  3. A usable tanker would be nice. I've said this numerous times in the A-6 thread in HB's section that the KA-6 is an essential part of the A-6 experience since everyone flew the KA-6 at some point. And a V-22 would be real interesting. Don't hold your breath for an AWACS, though, that's entering the kind of classifications that make for impracticality.
  4. OP confirmed as some kind of sorcerer.
  5. I'd love a Blk. 15.
  6. I can neither find any indication that the TF34s saw anything other than overhaul between the A and the C.
  7. I never thought I'd ever see anyone go to bat for the glorious heap that is Yak-38.
  8. I was going to discuss what this would entail on the part of ED... buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut.. then you had to go and post World in Conflict. I can't say no to that.
  9. ED's own standards still apply for the flight models and other things.
  10. I just noticed this, holy hell. Thanks, ED.
  11. The same could be said for the MiG-29, but it's only recently we received confirmation that we'd be getting one. We have flying MiG-29s stateside and we had plenty of access to MiG-29s since the fall of the iron curtain, but I'd suspect that Russia's MoD still provided ED to be more cautious until recent.
  12. Retirement isn't the only factor to restricted access. The real determining power is foreign policy and infosec. The few -25s still left flying are probably recon birds. The real question is if the Russian MoD feels the tech on the -25 is still relevant enough to be considered classified. Only way to find out is to ask.
  13. I've seen no indication that Belsimtek/ED has handed over any work to HB in this regard. I still have doubts we'll see it this year.
  14. Given the experience with the F-14, the statement of this year has all but assured that the FM programmers will be laid up in a hospital bed because of a wayward bus, now.
  15. Thanks for the explanation. A-6 is my US Navy bird obsession lays. I was under the impression that glove vanes were, indeed, out of the question at least as far as the FM goes.
  16. Therein is your answer. Perhaps it would be an option in the future for a new product, but for DCS as we know it? It'll stay within ED stables.
  17. Correct me if I'm wrong, Tomcat-stans, but if we were to get an F-14 of a 70s vintage, that'd mean glove vanes, wouldn't it? HB made it clear pretty early on that the glove vane was never going to happen. If I'm correct, it'd be a pretty reasonable conclusion to draw that we'd only be getting 80s and 90s era Tomcats. It's just the nature of this complex beast. The people who want Hell over Hanoi will have to use a MiG-21 that didn't fly over Hanoi until '77 and they'll have to use a MiG-19 when the VPAF had J-6s which produced a bit more engine power. Just gotta make do with what we can get.
  18. DCS AI is a bad comparison at this point in time. Also, don't just adjust curves but tone down saturation a bit, maybe. I did that and it feels great.
  19. ED is improving AI, by their own admission, with GFM. Also, what do you mean by vehicle? Like, more aircraft and ground warfare assets? We've been getting those. Also, AI has nothing to do with engine. New engines also cost money to license and that becomes a serious con when you're capable of your own engine development.
  20. 50 years undefeated.
  21. And it's also descriptive of the state of the MiG-15 and F-86's gunnery in game.
  22. There's a "Repair" function on standalone. Run that and it should clear it up.
