Nooch

Thanks for the news Zeus. I will most definitely buy the Mirage but only once the update has been released.

Sure... because 21:9 monitors are by far the most popular! Your sarcasm makes perfect sense here... :doh:

It would make sense if the trailer was made for movie theatres but for youtube, come on... It's more a waste of pixels than anything else.

They always remain off on mine so I'm guessing your warthog works fine.

It looks beautiful but please I wish they fixed this 21:9 video format. It's just black bars for no reason. I much prefer standard 16:9.

I don't think this is bug. Formation lights are meant to fade quickly with distance.

Once again, the Brits doing things differently from the rest of the world. Somehow driving on the wrong side of the road wasn't enough... :D

Thanks for reviewing my track. My drivers were up to date so the issue must come from elsewhere. I did hold the pickle button depressed for what seemed a long time for me but maybe it still wasn't long enough. I would suggest to modify the triggers of the mission in order to make it realistically achievable. Anyway I probably won't retry the mission as I already spent quite a lot of time on it but in case I do, I'll keep you updated.

It's perfectly normal. It's hard at first but with practice you'll see you can do it.

+1 I love the F-8!

What I can tell you is that I indeed made sure to drop below 6000' AGL and pressed the pickle button long enough to hear "2, Away" each and every time. I didn't hear the "Well Done" message though. Here is the link to my track file.

Okay, I've a created a dropbox account so that I could share the track file. Thanks for taking a look.

That's correct. It can only be mounted while on the ground. I wouldn't say wing pods are the only practical solution but they are definitely a good option. Ideally, I'd like to see both.

I recommend picking missions independently instead of flying them as part of the campaign. I got stuck on AFT05 and wasted so much of my time trying to pass it only to figure out there's a bug that prevents you to.

I think proper QNH is set by default when you start a flight in DCS. However if you have a doubt, the QNH value is also written at the bottom of the briefing window.

Tiger for me as well! Hoping it's not too classified.

You know there's a big zoo in Tbilissi, right? ED should add tigers and hippopotamus else I won't be satisfied ;)

They also tend to use the drogue adaptor quite often. It's the simplest of all options.

I've tried mission 5 multiple times but can't manage to pass it. On my first two attempts, as I distanced myself from the target in an attempt to locate it more easily, I was told the mission was a failure because I strayed outside the MOA, when in fact I didn't (I checked MOA limits in the pdf). On my third attempt, I released flares successfuly over each set of vehicles but after landing and shutdown, FE told me I was unqualified. The mission success triggers need to be looked at. My biggest gripe is that you get no message telling you if each pass was successful or not. You need to fly the entire 45 minutes mission, land and shutdown in order to know what happened. I've tried to provide a track but the file was too big (21MB) as max allowed file size was 5MB. I've attached screenshots showing proper illumination of each target.

If it's only a 1.5.7 issue then it shouldn't remain for too long as it will probably be fixed with the new Caucasus map.

It seems there are some issue with the current ILS system. Sometimes it behaves weirdly. Edit: I am only talking for 1.5.7 as I have not tested 2.1 yet.

I'm happy you finally made it as I can definitely understand your frustration. Be aware though that it wasn't your fault. The mission designers are here to blame because the A-10 does not use QFE.

I am talking about my own experience. That's all. I don't know what you find funny about it. :huh:

You mean this switch? If you did then that's correct, you need to unstow the steering bars. It's a tiny switch and it's quite easy to forget.

Funny thing is, that's what I did, most of the time. And I never ever had to use QFE. Always used QNH.
