The server is back up. I hope they keep it going, it is a lot of fun. JD AKA_MattE

Some great action on that server the last couple of days! Your shooting looks like mine, chasing that damn snake.. I almost want to turn it off. JD AKA_MattE

RGR I have been doing it the same way, but I dont have the 530 mapped yet so I am much slower to lock and fire. Any luck with 530 shots other than head on? So far I can just hit head on targets. JD AKA_MattE

How are you getting that Boresight lock to work with the 530? JD AKA_MattE

How do you check the activated/deactivated status of a module on the site? JD AKA_MattE

I had the same issue and the Alt + Enter worked. Just a note I have "full Screen" checked in the graphics options. JD AKA_MattE

The satellite images don't do it justice, besides those are shot at a considerable height, we will be flying much lower. Search any park or monument I mentioned and look at the images, that will give you an idea what I am talking about (or to the left of the nose of that F-16). The screen shots look very monochrome, but they also seem to be shot when the sun is low in the sky to show the awesome shadows so I think that has something to do with it. JD AKA_MattE

I know that the NTTR map is still a WIP but I was wondering if the colors of the map were going to be tweaked? The reason I ask is that I live fairly close to that area and travel down there constantly, the colors I have seen in the many screen shots and videos are not quite accurate. there is more red in the rocks (check out Valley of fire State Park which is less than 50 miles from Nellis). Also the area around Charleston peak is a forest so it should be somewhat green and a lot of the sand is lighter in color, more like a dirty cream color especially in the washes, also the shoreline around Lake Mead that has been below the water line in the past is white and forms a distinct ring that can be seen from the air easily. The eastern area of that map is one of the most beautiful places in the country, there are two national parks, (Zion and Bryce) and three National Monuments (Cedar Breaks, Grand Canyon - Parashant and part of Grand Staircase Escalante ) not to mention numerous state parks and wilderness areas; The Tushar mountains to the east of Beaver are over 12,000 feet high. On the Nevada side of the map there is Red Rock Canyon Nation Conservation Area and Lake Mead National recreation Area, both of which are quite stunning from 30K feet in the air, not to mention Nevada is the most mountainous state in the US. I know it is a flight sim and we are not there to sight see, but I hope there is an improvement in the colors so the area can be more accurately represented. Please take my post with the utmost respect, I truly enjoy DCS and only want to help make it better, but the area represented in this map is very close to my heart and I would love to see it look incredible in DCS!
