Really excited for this one, love the I-16's challenge and this will most certainly be just as good !

Cheers mate

Alright yeah I was wondering if that was a mirageism or not, couldn't find an answer in my own manuals. Is that F1CE manual you cite available anywhere BTW ?

With 2.8, the depressible pipper now appears completely at the top of the combiner glass. This causes the profiles to all be off, and what I think is the gun bore line does not match the zero sight line (shots going to the bottom of the heading/range scale). It seems to be a 40mrad error.

No Duxford ? And on a more personal note, no Beynes, an airfield that has been around since 1931 and used by the germans during the occupation ?

As the title says, wondering what airfields will be part of the expansion/redo of Normandy.

Call me chauvinistic, but I much prefer the C101 Pégase and it's soft wing. Controls are soft as silk.

@6S.Duke Otherwise, DCS : LS-4/6/8 ? Actually MDM Fox I'd prefer

Make it a poll maybe ? Otherwise AMX and F-84 for me. Whichever you can actually make to the highest standard tbh.

Today's patch improves the throttle response thanks to the AB detent, but there's still a deadzone near idle/cutoff.

Ah yes, blame the airplane for not holding up to 10.8g. And I'm the only being ignorant and insulting. Assuming those buddies of yours fly the F-16, it's a magnificent fallacy to take their quote and apply it to aircraft about 15 years older and without the FCS or the structure to withstand the stresses the F-16 was designed from the ground up to take. I would like to know how the F-5 control modelling is "bad" though, cause that's a rather new one.

It should and hopefully will. Actually if it didn't I would maybe reconsider buying it. A properly done module should slap you on the wrist if you are being stupid with it, ie trying to wrench the stick from its base while carrying load on the wings. F-5 wing rippers literally have a skill issue, no two ways about it.

What makes you think they hit anything ? Rockets aren't exactly precise at the best of times, and when you start lobbing them towards the general direction of the enemy....

Just pull up and shoot.

For some obscure reason the JTAC menu disappears from the comms menu completely if I use a radio menu command to spawn a group via MIST. The JTAC unit itself is still there and alive but I can't call him up.

As mentioned to Helljumper on the discord, I had a CTD when pressing DESG. AG mode, pod space stabilised on the Kobuleti X, switch to EHSD on left MPCD, press DESG and crash. Note : I also had a flight in the Hind prior to the Harrier flight in the same mission. dcs.log

Wags' numbers seem to be pretty much what I get during my landings, which I managed to shorten enough to land at the Damascus helo bases. Settling with power doesn't seem to be an option when approaching VRS, so keeping that descent as controlled as possible is key. Another issue I noted was the abysmal forward and downwards visibility (ie where that sodding runway should be), so the warbird approach seems to work best : Downwind at 200-300m (200m is better imo cause you can keep a shallow descent after). Decel below 150, configure gear, retrim, turn off yaw SAS as required, watch out for pitch oscillations at 140km/h, don't correct them. When abeam your landing aimpoint, start a slight turn and keep it going all the way down to short finals, keeping the runway in sight as long as possible. Do not let the nose drop lest you pickup too much speed. Keep your collective inputs as small as possible to avoid stepping too much into your power reserve (which the tail rotor will merrily eat into as well) On short finals switch to peripheral vision to gauge your position, flare and touch with the mains, lower collective and catch the yaw change, use the hand brake to stop. Overall, trying to fly the Hind like a Hip will get you killed. It is designed to operate at a very specific regime, and the compromises made show elsewhere.

Ok man, no need to get pissy, just pointing out a small error.

Just to be that pedantic asshole, it's spelled Bismarck, not Bismark.

As mentioned in the title, half of the parking spots at Wujah are unusable for fixed wing aircraft for no discernable reason, while rotary wings have access to all spots. It's such a beautiful airport it's a shame you can't place more than 3 aircraft like the yak or CE2

When Cyprus is added, we'll get the Akrotiri range, which is just south of RAF Akrotiri airbase.

Hijacking this thread to suggest a scrollable tactical map, so we can move it around and not be stuck with the default views which are either too zoomed in to be useful, or zoomed out so far as to make reading it very hard at best.

Might I suggest a French P-47D. The "Ardennes" fighter group was actually formed at Rayak (Lebanon) in 1943.

Hi, Could someone make a livery of LanceR C No. 6807 ? I had the chance to sit in it and chat with the pilot at RIAT 2019 and would love to have it in game with the new exterior materials. Cheers
