He must not have seen Aliens (1986) .

Chig says "Stay froggy", in the second combat mission. I think he meant to say "Stay frosty"?

I would rather HB spend the time fixing stuff that needs fixing, or finish implementing stuff they've already laid the groundwork for (the ability to put out an engine fire for example). In other words, there are bigger fish to fry at this time.

As announced today, there may be a Patch coming Mid April. Would it be possible to get an early glimpse at what HB has planned, if anything, for the F-14?

What about 3D tv's? Is that possible with DCS?

CW 'Mover' Lemoine did a review of the Pimax with DCS just 3 weeks ago and even with a 4090 GFX card was only barely getting 40 - 50fps. In a busy campaign like Debden Eagles most systems would slow to a crawl. My moderate rig slows right down just doing 4k.

Okay, last time I checked VR resolution wasn't good enough to read the dials. Has that now changed? Does it require £6000 worth of gear to make it happen? Does VR give you a much better sense of scale?

I was at the Imperial War Museum at Duxford for the first time yesterday. Absolutely stunning. One thing I was amazed by was just how massive some these aircraft are. The F-4 Phantom II for example, is intimidatingly big in person. That sense of scale just isn't there with DCS. I wonder what could be done to improve that. Lighting , shadows and camera angles must be a huge factor. The level of detail in the DCS models is better than it has ever been (Heatblur's upcoming Phantom II for example), but they still somehow don't manage to convey scale. My wish is that this is somehow improved. No easy feat I grant you.

NOOB ALTERT: If you're in EMCOM and 'zip-lipped', do you trap in total silence? How does the boat know what trap weight to set on the arrester wires?

Cobweb Blue 3 & 4 didn't take off on my first attempt at Mission 10. Perhaps I jumped the gun on the rollout. I taxied after my flight lead: QP-L . It doesn't seem to impede mission progress. A couple of references are made to Blue 3 & 4 throughout the mission, but of course they weren't present on this occasion.

@-0303- Thank you for your brilliant comprehensive systems check. Would you please do a similar check on external fuel tanks? In some cases it seems full ext tank weight is modelled, but the fuel load is actually only in one tank, and/or twice as much fuel in one ext tank and nothing in the other. Sounds strange, but it feels like something's not right.

Why can't I save the mission in the ME once I've made the alteration? I know, my fault for not getting my hands dirty in the ME before now.

TARPS goes on Pylon 5. It's there and it looks amazing.

Perhaps the boarding ladder is not deployed by default, but has to be manually selected by the mission creator in the mission editor.

Santa didn't bring me a boarding ladder for Xmas He did however bring me a rare hardcover copy of The Cutting Edge, by CJ 'Heater' Heatley. What a mensch!

There are a few long-term issues that still need fixing/finishing with the Tomcat, the fire extinguisher system being one of them. I suspect some stuff will be solved by porting over work done on the F-4. Improvements to Jester for example.

"It's like the inside of a f**king basketball." On my way home in mission 1 and the campaign already has a fantastically authentic feeling atmosphere. Thanks Reflected for all your amazing work. It really helps you appreciate how incredibly brave these men were.

I think this is still a thing. Just noticed my right brake is not locking the wheel. Left works fine.

I always wanted random mechanical failures implemented by default

Getting some stuttering. Particularly noticeable with the AAR basket. Using MT, GeForce RTX 3070, at 1080p. Tried super shadows on and off, same result. Tried non-MT, same result.

Reforger II has some brilliant stuff in it. I want to thank Rick_NSX and Rokkett for making it possible to complete the campaign and urge others to give their changes a try. I hope HB are able to make the necessary adjustments soon, ( I appreciate they haven't been able to proceed until ED have done their bit first), so the wider community can finally enjoy this wonderful campaign.

Why such a negative comment? If some guys want to have a newer looking cockpit, when most campaigns for the F-14 are set during a time when the F-14B was relatively new, what's the harm? I'd argue it also helps separate B from A, helps make it feel like a different variant and increases immersion. This gentleman has done the hard work himself. I for one applaud the commitment. I bet even HB aren't mad at it.

If you have Spoiler Brake selected and not Both (which includes anti-lock braking, like ABS on a car) then you will skid on a runway when applying the brakes too hard.

Thanks Rick. I just downloaded said mission file and will attempt mission 4 again tonight. They're amazing missions with some great production value. They're lengthy scenarios too, which is great for immersion, but it does make it all the more frustrating when you're an hour/two hours in and all of a sudden everything goes quiet. I guess because Missions 1, 2, 3 & 4 were compromised there's no reason to believe missions 5, 6 & 7 will work as intended. We'll see...
