If it is a bug that is yet to be fixed I wouldn't get too discouraged Raptor. The P-51 is super easy to get started, it only takes all of 5 min. Check out the in game tutorial or a quick youtube video.

I really hope the devs are at least putting some work into the AH-1. First day buy for me...Im just hoping we get there sooner rather than later.

It works for me, but remember for the future that Steam purchases work on the ED version but ED versions wont transfer to Steam.

I agree that ED should create a method of smart scaling that will best benefit the sim, but we definitely do need some sort of smart scaling. Especially now with the WWII module in the works and other airframes without radar (Sabre) it is important to have smart scaling in order to have realistic WVR air battles. It's just not realistic to be forced to zoom in and scan the sky through a straw in order to see an object in the distance.

Smart scaling is one of my most wanted features. It's common knowledge that spotting IRL is much easier than in game, and not only spotting but being able to identify aircraft. It's pretty mind boggling as to why the devs wouldn't implement some type of smart scaling. The answer quoted by Sith in a previous post (unless I misunderstood it) basically said that smart scaling will allow people with higher resolution to spot objects better than people with lower resolutions, that's why we don't have smart scaling. But doesn't that happen without smart scaling anyways? People with higher resolutions can already see things better than others, I thought smart scaling is supposed to balance that out while allowing people to spot objects at realistic distances. Edit: I was secretly hoping EDGE would introduce some smart scaling but that is yet to be seen.

Awesome Thanks!!!!

I know exactly how you feel. This is my 1 trip for the summer and it this weekend. Just my luck :cry:. Nevertheless Sunday night is going to be sweeeet.

Well, when you think about it, usually when there is a version update ( e.g. 1.2.7-1.2.8 )some mods/missions break and have to be fixed so I don't see why an update to 2.0.0 (EDGE) would be any different.

That would be a shame if it is suspended or not being worked on at all. I'm sure a lot of people would jump all over a high fidelity F-15, I know I would for sure.

If the distance is greater than 99 then the distance will be blocked. Not sure if this is realistic or improperly modeled in the sim but this has been my experience with it.

I don't think china aft long does anything to the mav. China aft short cages it and returns it to boresight, China forward long slaves it to spi, and forward short changes zoom levels.

I don't want to be negative here, in fact I really hope they can get the Sabre out asap (it's a day 1 purchase for me). However, I have a gut feeling we wont see it this month. Last news we heard was that it will be released sometime between July 15-25. We're now July 22nd and we haven't heard anything at all, no manual has been put out, no changelog for 1.2.9 has been put out, no announcement whatsoever. It seems like on 25th were going to get an announcement saying "we have run into some delays and we will hopefully be ready for next week". Next week will roll around with no news and no release and then, boom, the month is over. I really really hope that Im proven wrong because Im very interested in flying the Sabre and it looks like these guys have done a really good job with it.

I use china hat forward long to move the mav back to SPI, and back to default condition. Not sure if it's the only way, maybe on of the veterans around here knows the correct procedure.

Hopefully after the devs are done with EDGE they can focus on improving the missile dynamics. It's such a crucial part of any combat flight sim.

Definitely a first day buy. Been excited about this since I first found out about it a little while ago. I kinda feel sorry for you guys who have been waiting much longer.

While I agree that labels are a bad idea for any multiplayer gameplay, the RL argument is not a good one. The human eye can see things far better than what we can see on a computer monitor.

That has nothing to do with his question.

Awesome, thank you guys. I'm also fairly new to A2A combat and have been trying to review my many defeats in multiplayer but had the same issues as the OP. Now I can finally study what went wrong and why. Thanks again !!!
