For all we know the textures could just be placeholders while the terrain, buildings etc. is being worked on.

And some updated screenshots from Latakia (first two) and Damascus:

Some new screenshots have been posted at the Ugra-Media site: Haifa Airport: Incirlik: Ramat David: Mezzeh Military Airport: Wujah Al Hajar Airbase: Al-Nayrab Military Airbase / Aleppo International:

Adding an "A" between the Y and the L is probably worth considering :P And which font is that? It looks a bit off compared to both the VC10 and A330 MRTT.

Right click the url and click download instead of just clicking the url. Apparently, the web server is treating it like a ascii text file instead of binary.

1. Open audio file. 2. Listen to it 3. Translate to farsi 4. Record translation 5. Save the file with the same name as the original file 6. Open the next file and repeat step 1-5 until you have done them all.

What are you referring to here? This screenshot? http://www.razbamsims.com/products/intruder/screenshots/2a.jpg If so, you need to read up on US ordnance. The missiles on that screenshot, while quite poorly modelled (which isn't that surprising for a 10++ year old fsx model), are supposed to be AGM-78 and AGM-45s.

That would be comparable to using the Large Hadron Collider for heating soup :P

All this boils down to the fact that "I knot it's WIP, but..." = "I don't understand what WIP means".

Real time simulation of RCS is simply not possible with existing computer technology. Even with a fairly coarse mesh and using EM solvers like UTD or PO/RL-GO, calculating the x-band RCS for an aircraft can take hours for each instance of φ and θ (azimuth and elevation) on the workstation I occasionally use for EM simulation at work (quick specs: 16 physical cores (32 with HT), 96gigs of RAM, M2 SSD etc, running altair FEKO). In DCS, RCS s defined as a single parameter for all aspect ratios and frequencies. This can easily be used with the radar range equation to give a good enough approximation of actual detection range. Basically, as far as the radar is concerned, the aircraft are spheres with a given cross sectional area in dBm² (for instance the AJS 37 is defined to be 3 dBm², or 2m² for the linear folks). These values are most likely just educated guesses based on typical values for aircraft of a similar size, or something that gives the expected results when used with the other parts of the radar simulation in DCS.

It's almost as if it was a work in progress or something. Who could have guessed that....

CV uses the carriers IMU as a reference, which speeds up the process.

I have a better suggestion: limit the ability to purchase early access modules to users who can prove that they actually understand what early access means.

If you are referring to the harrier inlet thread, it was most likely deleted because someone in that thread didn't understand how cameras and optics work. Screenshots and pictures from the same angle are not comparable unless you know the distance to the subject and the focal length used when taking the picture, and the virtual camera in the model viewer/DCS replicates this.

This reminds me of the "winter starts on a specific date, the fact that it's -10°C and 20cm of snow outside proves nothing!"-discussions regarding the F-14 release window. I guess you have to think in American to find it logical that the week starts in the middle of, and not after, the weekend :P

Sharing links to classified manuals from wikileaks is probably not a good idea (ref. forum rule 1.16).

The target elevation reference parameter sets whether the target altitude is in MSL or HAE. MSL = elevation above mean sea level and HAE = height above ellipsoid. GPS uses a standard ellipsoid (WGS84) as a model of the earth, so this setting allows you to set coordinates in the receiver's native format, or the regular meters/feet above sea level you'd find in a map etc. MSL coordinates are automatically converted to HAE by the onboard systems in the JDAM. And don't worry about the "above" part of HAE; it accepts negative numbers as well. Anything between -100m / -328ft to +10000m / 32808 ft.

Regarding JDAM system complexity, here is a list of the various launch parameters: Source: https://trace.tennessee.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=https://www.google.com/&httpsredir=1&article=3487&context=utk_gradthes

IMHO, removing the game mode would be a mistake. In theory, someone could have spent hundreds of dollars/euros/whatever on DCS modules and only use the game mode. It's a huge waste of potential, and it is probably unlikely that many people would do this, but it is still a possibility. If ED then removed the game mode and told people to buy MAC instead, it would not go down too well with the users in question. If you think the whining in the VEAO subforums after the Hawk sh*t the bed was bad, just imagine what would happen if ED chose to prevent parts of their customer base from enjoying DCS by removing the game mode. And FYI, MAC does not fully replace the low system fidelity game mode of DCS. With one exception (Caucasus), the maps are smaller, and some aircraft are unavailable. However, decluttering the control assignment menu when game mode is deactivated seems like a good idea.

There is a difference between being able to mount something on a wing pylon and being able to use it. The suspension lugs are most likely compatible with the regular mk80-series layout that pretty much all free fall bombs use these days, but with different aerodynamic and ballistic paremeters, actually using it would require extensive certification work and upgrades to the avionics. Traditionally, the US has designed their aircraft and systems for equipment they actually use, not what they might find in a warehouse somewhere. TL;DR: no BL755 on the AV-8B.
