  1. "thunder and lightning!" P-38 confirmed? :D Nice update, thanks.
  2. I've seen this vid when it was released. It's in fact awesome!
  3. Indeed, 1.5 is so outdated now. With all due respect, I can't stand the performance issues, graphics, the huge impact of the tree shadow and many more. 2.2 is way better, even tho the loading times are greater. I believe 2.5 will be one of the greatest things ever.
  4. LOL
  5. Happy new year!
  6. You can also, right click on the tab (Chrome browser) and disable the sound for this specific tab. But this is not new, we've seen this before. :)
  7. Hey guys, Today I just wanted to show you a quick, easy way to have a rough idea of your current Flight Time. But first of all, I'd like to say that these methods, aren't by any means, professional ways to calculate your exact time available in the air, instead, it's just a quick way to find out your current flight time. But why current flight time? because your current flight time (let's call it CFT) varies quite a lot depending on the atmosphere such as temperature, altitude, flight conditions such as speed and finally, PLA (Power Lever Angle). There are two methods to find out your CFT; 1° Method: Take your total fuel, subtract from your bingo, then the result is divided by your current Fuel Flow (FF - pph), after this, you should multiply the result by 60 (60x). The result should be your CFT in minutes. 2° Method: Take your total fuel, subtract from your bingo to find out your usable fuel, divide by your current FF (Fuel Flow - but this time, it should be in pounds per minute of fuel ppm, instead pounds per hour pph). The result should be your CFT in minutes just like the 1° Method. This method is actually used in real life operations (TOT-BINGO)/FFppm. Also special thanks to Chicken from our Discord :) To find out your PPM is very simple, take your PPH and divide it by 60. Do the opposite to find out your PPH. Atmosphere conditions: +15°C, 29.92 inches of mercury (standard pressure). 1° Scenario using the first method: My flight conditions are as follows: 250 KIAS, 220ft altitude (let's call it Sea Level - SL) FF: 8,760PPH Total usable fuel: 3,800= 3,800/8,760= 0.433*60= 26 minutes of flight. 2° Scenario using the second method: My flight conditions are as follows: 250 KIAS, 15,000ft altitude FF: 123PPM Total usable fuel: 3,800= 3,800/123= 30 minutes of flight. 3° Scenario using the second method again: My flight conditions are as follows: 250 KIAS, 25,000 ft altitude FF: 0.99PPM Total usable fuel: 3,800= 3,800/0.99= 38 minutes of flight. ----------------- Important notes: As I said above, your CFT will vary as soon as you increase/decrease your Indicated airspeed, change your altitude or increase/decrease your throttle. Also, I was using Infinite fuel in order to have the same value at all times, so doing that you are actually able to see the differences. 26 minutes, 30 and 38. Why does the fuel flow vary so much? Well that's because the engine has to adjust its FF in order to work properly, as you increase your altitude, the pressure decreases, and air density decreases as well, so the engine has to "trim out" the fuel flow in order to keep the engine under normal conditions, temperatures and others. I did this based on the Harrier engine, but you can do this for any aircraft, as long as you have Fuel Flow meter and your usable fuel or total fuel subtracted from the bingo. Never forget to calculate the Bingo fuel, you need to go home after you finish your mission! Thank you guys, I hope that was useful. If you have any suggestion or correction, please let me know.
  8. Sure, a few weeks ago I asked you that question tho :P
  9. Pretty sure someone is going to do that with the Skate's Super Hornet mod. :)
  10. CBU-87s shouldn't be used against armored vehicles. It's an anti-personnel bomb. You should use it against trucks (Such as GAZ-66) or infantries. :)
  11. Great videos.
  12. Merry Christmas! Happy New year! :D
  13. it really isn't :imho:
  14. AWLS channels are working correctly now! Noticed some good changes.
  15. Next week Larry?
  16. What kind of refueling are you talking about? On ground/deck with ground crew or air to air refueling? With AAR, no it won't fill up your water tank. While on the ground/deck, yes it will, it's automatic. As long as you modify/change your loadout/fuel percentage.
  17. What matters to you might not matter to me.

  19. MAV with green scale looks so wrong! Even though it is the way it should be from the beginning :D
  20. I can confirm that! It works.
