Features dont get ready because you feel like you earned them. Just wait a little bit and it will just turn into some anecdote about the past were you needed to wait 1 week more for the jsow

Just flown around with my new Rift S for a good 2 Hours. First a bit in the Hornet and then the F86 in the museum relic campaign. Overall its a massive improvement to my DK2 (as it should be compared to that old thing), but I can only echo what Wags stated at the beginning: Reading stuff in the cockpit is easy although not crystal clear (mind you im running 1.2PD) Spotting the ball behind the boat is no issue and makes landing a ton easier. I immediately noticed in the F86 Mission how much further away I was able to spot targets making me finally turn the labels off. Compared to the DK2 I also noticed much greater Immersion, where as previously it could sometimes feel like I was flying above a miniature world, the scale in the S felt correct. This combined with the better clarity makes Landing a whole lot easier. I know comparing to the DK2 is probably not what most people are looking for but I thought I'd write down my thoughts anyways. Happy flying

I had the same problem, was due to the activation still being in the registry or something similar. This helped me: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/support/faq/564/#1780273

Speed, altitude and thrust not high enough on a Eurofighter? :huh: The thing does Mach 2+, goes up to 55k feet and has one of the highest T/W ratios out there, ever seen one do a QRA start, just goes vertical after take-off and supercruises to M1.5

All training missions are in the free caucasus, and theres plenty of instant action missions to practice with there too. Personally I'd recommend the Persian Gulf Map, its fantastic to fly around and should receive some campaigns there in the future, right now the only campaign that we have in the early access version is in the caucasus. But you can always find community missions and campaigns online or make some yourself if you wanna go real deep down the rabbit hole ;)

You have to add @openbeta at the end to specify which brand you want to update to. So it should look like this "DCS_updater.exe update @openbeta"

Like the others said its not the most up-to-date game version. The beta branch with the SA page didnt get moved to stable last Wednesday (no reason was stated) so you'd have to move to the beta to get it yourself, this week there'll be another update this Wednesday on the beta with the F14. If you wish to switch quickly between Stable and Open Beta you can use Skatezillas tool here: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=160053 or alternatively use cmd prompt if you dont want to download it:https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=114030

I knew it! Man what a patch.

So what could this be? Dedicated Servers?

Crosscheck the stuff that we already have with this list https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3285514&postcount=13 . Quite a bit more work to be done but the current pace should get this stuff implemented fairly quickly, I do think she'll be done before the end of the year.

The stable version does also have the HARM, you can always try to drop bombs, shoot mavericks or guide some Laser Guided Bombs in with the help of a JTAC. But all of these are much shorter range and put you into the 8) Danger Zone 8)

You can also use the checklist page to set trim, I prefer it since it also shows weight. Keep in mind this is only needed for carrier take-offs, runway is always the standard 12° of Stabs

It will be today, sometimes take a little bit to also go to the updater, this isnt the first time :)

Thats normal, it closes the sim to download the necessary files for the hornet and will open again once its finished.

My problem when I was new is that I wasnt holding down the trigger long enough, you gotta do that for... diplomatic reasons.

Lumberyard is also based on cryengine and star citizen has reworked A LOT of the engine to where its almost its own. BTT: A lot of people tend to see cool and good looking demos of engines, especially UE4 and Unity since they're free but each engine comes with its restrictions and if you dont want to make what the engine was specifically made to do you're gonna have to rework a bunch of it anyways. At the same time having your own Engine gives you exact control over what features you have and where your focus is, no stuff that you dont need and all the things you do need while having the experts on the engine already in house if you need to add more things.

Oh i just had a good smashing, that felt good... smashing lightbulbs of course, nothing naughty

The second video by Gonky has a Tacview debrief!

Using Jtac, a Harrier or Warthog can also buddy lase for you.

The GBUS are very usable with the newest patch but the HARM seems to have be included by accident, pretty sure I've read wags state that its more likely to be January for the HARM but I cant find it right now so I might be remembering something wrong.

There is also the Jetstream series which follows Canadian Hornet Pilots through training.

The open beta is there to test changes early, you can read a bit more about it here: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=222881 No, if you were to install the open beta you wont have to buy any new modules, you log in with the same account and it'll all be there.

Its the usual schedule with beta and release alternating every week, so beta gets an update every 2 weeks and the next week it will be released to stable. However this time there were some problems mainly with the hornet radar which made them decide not to push it to stable yet (see newsletter)

Are you on the open beta? Its not available on the stable branch yet.

Initially it was planned to have both an F and A variant but they got merged into the F/A-18. Recommend this video for some hornet history.
