Ultra

Thanks guys, that's helpful. So it seems like there are a bunch of weapons that are used. Between the S-8, S-13, S-24, S-25, and FAB-500 which do you think the Russians would use today if a general said "we need you to go out and kill these tanks" (assuming they're modern tanks)?

This has been somewhat talked about in other threads, but I guess I'm looking for a more definitive answer. What is the primary or most common weapon used for engaging heavy tanks with the SU-25A?

Finally! I've been waiting! ;) Good job guys

Very Nice! :thumbup:

There should probably be a separate thread for discussion, but also how many screenshots do you think the devs are going to post? It's funny to think people are expecting screenshots all the time lol.

OK so.... I did a few landings and switched to F2 while I was rolling to see the results. On normal landing it seems that the nose wheel is unlocked at any speed and is controlled by the rudder as usual. I'm not sure if there's a button to lock it or if you're supposed to. To test the differential braking, I blew the tire on the nose wheel and tried turning at high speed. The turning ability was greatly reduced. This makes me believe that in the sim the nose wheel is reponsible for turning on the ground and there is little or no differential braking help. But overall it's sort of hard to tell for sure.

I'll test it out later. I haven't flown it in a long time. I was getting back into it and came in crooked on landing, then realized I couldn't use the brakes to straighten her out. :D

Interesting, that does help. I guess my next question is: is it implemented this way in the sim, where the rudder can be used for differential braking?

This is a feature request. Feel free to move if this is the wrong spot. Does the SU-25T have differential, pedal braking IRL? And if so, can we have that implemented in the sim?

I haven't flown the SU much at all, only a few times. The first time I wanted to mess with the model. I put it into an inverted flat spin and then recovered, then flew it under some bridges on the quick mission. I dont see the big deal, it didn't seem like anything crazy to me. Just a little twitchy. If you're having a lot of trouble, you should just make some joystick curves you like. :music_whistling:

^^very good idea

You may have the flight stability system disabled. I think it's the 'S' key. Sometimes people mistake the 'S' key for the nosewheel steering since that's the key in the F-15.

Considering already announced projects, I think for the future we could use a Korean War US jet-powered fighter-bomber to complement the Sabre and the Mig-15, such as the F-80 Shooting Star or the F-84 Thunderjet. Then all we would need is the Superfortress and a Korean map, lol. :)

Very cool! I love to see things showing how much DCS is connected to real life. :thumbup: By the way, I think it's only distorted in the thumbnail. It opened fine.

Good ideas for missions guys, but who would host?

Thanks for the link you sent me slowhand, some interesting combos there. Helping my friend look for parts has peaked my interest in upgrading again, uh oh. :D Also, wow I didn't know that card could run 4 monitors by itself. :shocking: Chief, we can be flexible with price if it's worth it, I'll check it out. :thumbup:

Hmm, is the radar better though?

Thanks for the chart. It's very helpful!

That's pretty much what I'm thinking, my friend's not going to even use half the ports on it anyways. I just need one that has more than 1 Vcard slot and overclocks fairly well, nothing crazy. Indeed. I was thinking like a 750W bronze. He's probably going to run like a r9 280 or something like that and then maybe upgrade to Crossfire or SLI in the future. What do you think? By the way, how do you like the GTX 960?

Wow, your right those deals do look good! Thanks for the advice. EDIT: Aww, damn. These are in-store pick up only....

It's all true. I keep saying it, but only because it hasn't got any attention from anyone: Until we get a map and more players come, the current solution is planned events! I don't have the resources to host, but someone really needs to organize something. Sorry if I sound like a broken record, I just think it's that important. :)

Hey guys, I'm helping my friend build a desktop. There's quite a few choices for Motherboards for $130 or under and I can't really tell which is better than the other. Recommendations or advice? It's going to be for an Intel i5, and looking for 2 or 3 GPU slots. Not really sure what other features we want/need. Here's the kind of stuff I've been looking at: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007627%2050001315%2050001944%2050001314%2050001312%20600036416%204017%20600009016%20600176036%20600176035%204814%204114%20600438202%204115&IsNodeId=1 (I like Newegg, but if you guys have other site recommendations let me know) Thanks in advance. :)

How does the F1 fair in BVR combat versus other contemporaries?

I know the Mirage F1 is more of a 3rd gen fighter, but since it seems we're getting both of them and they came out around the same time.... How would a Mirage F1 fair against a Tomcat?

I think Community Events are something that is missing. Maverick started doing the Red Flag event for the modern aircraft and it fills within a matter of a few hours. I think a WWII event would be just as popular and it would bring the community closer together. It doesn't even matter if it's an 'airquake' event, it just needs a thread on the forum in the Community News section and a set date & time so people can plan to show up in advance.
