  1. And they could implement laser cannons, which the lot 20 US Navy F/A-18C also doesn't have. The ED policy of accurately modelling a specific type of aircraft leaves little room for implementing systems that are not present in the aircraft being modelled. Export models may have different avionics, but this is irrelevant, as we do not have an export model in DCS.
  2. The US Navy F/A-18C lot 20 doesn't have nav receivers that are compatible with ICAO ILS and VOR, so judging by ED's goal of highest possible system accuracy, I'd say no. Not yet AFAIK, but seeing that TILS beacons for the Viggen were added, I see no reason why ED couldn't do the same with ICLS beacons for the Hornet. Avionics are bulky. More large heavy avionics = less fuel and/or payload. If civilian navaid compatibility isn't seen as usefull enough, other things are given a higher priority.
  3. If light has no mass, why is it affected by gravity? As in black holes and gravitational lenses?
  4. The KC-130 is just ED's AI C-130 with wing fuel pods. Use the template found here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/texture_templates/
  5. According to the NATOPS flight manual, you can in fact tune the COM radios to frequencies in the 108-111.975 range:
  6. I guess it's time to pull out this one again :P
  7. An ancient post from VEAO doesn't really say anything about whether or not Razbam or anyone else is able to obtain a license from Boeing (ex-MDD) for a module. Case in point: the AV-8B and ED's F/A-18C.
  8. Top Gun does have a few nice flying scenes (F-14 vs A-4), but except for that, there is nothing particularly good about it. It's is basically a romantic drama with the occasional plane thrown in. The Final Countdown does at least have an amusing (but improbable) plot in addition to the awesome navy aircraft.
  9. My vote is for a DCS Dwarf Tossing module (for CA, of course). I might settle for an Austin Allegro though...
  10. What? Not the Vanden Plas 1500?
  11. Click the pen/pencil icon in the top right corner of the multiplayer server list.
  12. A F-16 is on ED/BST's todo-list after the 18. https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3447860&postcount=153
  13. Judging by all the "do I need to install the open beta in addition to 2.5 release in order to use module X, Y, or Z?" or "why can't I download the PG map?" threads both here and on FB, it seems like quite a few are unaware of how simple it is to switch between the two versions. Would it be a good idea to add a notification about available updates for the other version (whichever that may be; OB or release) when checking for updates? With an option for switching to OB and updating without having to go through the command line? Or am I just a grumpy bastard that's tired of seeing the same questions asked 3 million times every time anew module is (pre-)released?
  14. Afternoon-ish central european time.
  15. It's the same with every new early access release. Anonymous player (there are too many to mention them all): "I know it's early access, but..." ...and then goes on explaining that he clearly doesn't understand what early access means.

    ILS

    Civilian ILS: not possible. Even the smallest 6-element localizer arrays are too large to fit on a carrier, and even an M-array glide path is way too sensitive regarding the reflection plane to fit it in such a confined area. ICLS, which is basically comparable to MLS (which was a huge flop in the civilian aviation market), is used on carriers. Both of your videos show the ICLS flight director bars.

    Status?

    From 504smudge's latest stream: Smudge asked if there was an ETA for the Yak. Answer:
  18. Yup. JDAM, JSOW and JASSM.
  19. Have you tested it recently? The latest update change log says the following: DCS AV-8B N/A by RAZBAM DMT axis control enabled The TPOD axis control was functional when the TPOD was added to the sim (pre-2.5).
  20. Are you sure? Because it sure doesn't look like spring in this part of the world...
  21. Your car windows are made from glass (windshield = laminated, the rest are tempered), which is quite hard and scratch resistant. Aircraft canopies are plastic (acrylic, polycarbonate or similar) which scratches very easily. They are not comparable.

    F-15E?

    McDonnell Douglas hasn't existed as a company for over 20 years...

  24. Uhm, no. Not to nitpick, but your claim that they don't speak farsi in Iran is demonstrably wrong. But everyone else who have replied thus far are correct.
  25. I can recommend getting your facts right when trying to correct people... Farsi and Persian are two names for the same language.
