Hi folks! I had the idea to try out CA with 2.5 now and see if i did any magic for CA arms now. And i must say that it has turned into a very worthy combined arms sim with the new update. The terraind now offers complex hull down tactics you can use to out-gun and outmanuavers russion forces. by micro managing my company in the single player scenario "Advance on kislovodks" i managed to take the objective by overwatch and carefull use of hull down tactics with only a single los on my abrams (but lost a platoon & my bradleys only to bad management of my AA assets, but won the scenatio non the less) without ever needing to call in any CAS (and being outnumbered by 3 to 2 t-80 platoons, and in older versions this was certain death). M1a1 vs t-80,s seems to have a lot more "silver bullet" behavure, and the AI now has to take into account LOS because of the trees, which makes combat in urban areas more interessting as well. Not to mention that the new terrain is extremtly ground combat friendly and very good on the eyes. Playing Steel beasts pro als well, i must say that CA starting to become some serious competition for SBP now. A job well done ED!!

What are the chances of ever getting a flyable B-17G by ED or a third party developer? I mean the DCS B-17 has So much potential and looks absolutly gorgious! Plus the fact that not a single flight Sim has ever put any efford in featuring the Fortress since (at least not at a combatsim level) B-17 The mighty eight ( which is about 20 years old by now) For Some reason nobody wants to take on the challange to make a realistic B-17 Sim for So Many years and fighters and other aircraft are allways favourd over the Fortress. Its such a shame since historicly B-17 raids still dominanted the biggest part of the U.s europian airwar. Plus the fact that maybe a mult crewed B-17 would make such a more interessting and fresh New experience in itself.

How come the red flag campaign doenst have any friendly ground forces like in the original A-10c campaign? I allways thought Red Flag militairy exersizes where mostly done in conjuction with blue groundforces? Esspecially So for the A-10c. Plus it would make an interessting experience for Combinded Arms (which is being largely ignored or not implemented in any DLC campaigns & official DCS stuff)

Thanks Guys! I got it working now

That explains it, funny that it even shows up in my scenario’s then. Im running version 2.2.0 and i cant use the caucasus map untill 2.5 is released. So could You do it on the nttr map Please?

In fact i can Only see added radio Messages when i put a trigger to flag equals flag.

I dont see any radio commands in f-10 at all. Maybe a 2.2 version bug maybe?

I cant open the mission in my editor. It has to be on the NTTR map because version 2.2 doesnt support the crimea map

I,ve tried you mission example? But the AAV moves straight to waypoint 2 without stopping? And also no radio move command is created for hog 1

Anyone? Kinda stuck here.

Hello there folks! I,m working on a mission on the NTTR map (version 2.2). I have placed a vehicle group called desert fox 1 and make them move to waypoint 2 where i gave it a hold command with a trigger over it called Alpha 1 which spawns a radio message saying it has reached alpa 1 (the trigger) What i want to do is give the player (an av8b called Chevy 1-1) a radio command to make Desert fox 1 move from waypoint 2 to 6 much like the way its done in the A-10C campaing where you give a radio command for the armor to advance on certain objetives. Ive tried everything and looked everywhere on the forum, but i can make the group stop at waypoint to and create a radio command for Chevy 1-1 with the flag equals flag add radio item? But for some reason i cannot make desert fox 1 move from waypoint 2 to 6 when i chose the radio command from the f-10 menu. Could someone make a quick example mission as to how its done or help me out in any way? Many thanks in advance.

So basicly. Steam clients must wait for mid-summer or Maybe longer to get thee nttr map? So Much for " steam release Will be Some time after "

Yeah some infantry stuff would be really epic. But first they should fix the Superhuman AI and AI xray view .

SP! You can allways change it to MP in the editor right?

Well to awnser your question is quite simple actually. In the end im still a costumer buying ED,s product ( And the best out there of its kind nontheless ) like anybody else out there. Standalone or steam. And i Wouldnt see why i shouldnt be paying more or less or be treated differently just Because of a different disturbuntion system.

One thing i dont understand is why you get 20 to 25 fps on a laptop while my year old gaming pc gets no more then 16 fps max?

So how come steam users still dont have the 2.0 update & nttr map? The standalone version has the update for several weeks now. I dont understand why the steam version still is stuck with 1.5.2 ? Also when the nttr map is released for steam we dont have the option to pre-order the map like the standalone version? We have to pay the full price while Others had the option to save a couple of bucks? It seems kind of unfair doesnt it? And i see no point in going through the trouble of downloading the standalone version and redeaming my steam codes so i can download the nttr map. I payed , purchased the steam version on steam and i still payed for it so i dont understand why steam users are allways the last to get updates and such. I would have bought and downloaded the standalone version if i knew all this in advance but i didnt. Its not like the steam version is cheaper then the standalone or anything.

The vehicles also need an autopilot function for the gunners stations when we hop into the drivers Seat for example. At least this way we would have the ai simulate on the move Fire capibilaty.

What i really miss in CA is thermal sights for tanks And Such. I dont understand why this is so hard to implement Since aircraft allready have flir. Also stabilisation in horizontal & vertical axis, the AI seems to have it while the Player doesnt. That gives the AI a advantage because we cant fire on the move. Tanks & AFV should also get a decent Armour model to properly simulate different types of armour on different vehicles. I would also like to see different systems damage/failure due to enemy fire or at random for vehicles. And i dont need to mention the AI super powers when it comes to reaction time & x ray vision now do i? Also proper suspension & bobbing roadwheels would be cool if done right, steel beasts pro doenst even have this feature and it is currently the only sim properly simulating modern armoured warfare.

Can someone tell me when dcs 2.0 and the nttr map will be released on steam?

Vr is revolutionairy for sure. But for most of us Also to expensive.

I have a problem with The first mission. I destroy all The infantry and The choppers comes in And The infantry does The search. But The mission never ends or an oke that it has succeeded. I did by accident hit The house with he mk82.

Great stuff! But i heard The occules rift consumer version is Gonna cost around 1500 euro,s or 400 euro,s And a complete new machine worth around a 1000 euro,s to run it when it comes Out next year . So ill pass.

You do realize this is The dcs wwII europe 1944 forum?

Maybe but The b-17 just looks so Much better then The b-24
