Ahhh well - all is now resolved… we can’t have a Sea Harrier FRS.1 to fly from HMS Invincible, because the 1970s era Blue Fox radar is STILL CLASSIFIED … but we can look forward to flying an F-35 from HMS Queen Elizabeth, because that’s OK… BONKERS

What isn’t subjective is to state that other potential modules have been rejected on the basis of classification, documentation, available flying airframes for validation… I’m thinking of stuff like: - anything British… e.g. Sea Harrier with still classified Blue Fox radar - WW2 aircraft with no / limited flying examples… Me-262, Hawker Typhoon etc - Almost anything Redfor from the last 40 years

I still think (as I did a year or so ago…) that the PTO stuff will all drop together Map Ships Player and AI aircraft Ground and other assets

Have also just seen the CGAviator Tonka video on YT… absolutely blown away, especially Mach Loop and the recovery to Valley Very impressive IFE - needs to be in DCS… (frustratingly little shown for the other 3rd party DCS version - potential for a partnership approach???)

But not everyone is an online PvP player A8 vs AI is frustrating/ pointless

Atlantic Conveyor is well known due to her loss, but sister ship Atlantic Causeway also went South IIRC, my father worked on the preparation / hasty fit out of Causeway (not sure about Conveyor), Rangatira and Contender Bezant - subsequently RFA Argus

I thought the old Hawk wasn’t compatible with the recent versions of DCS…? presumably that just for player flown aircraft??

Hawk…?!

Both, I guess… I posted in the S Atlantic sub-forum, asking whether the were any ME settings to get AI strike packages to keep a set height above terrain The Argentine pilots showed considerable skill and bravery in pressing home their attacks during the Falklands Conflict, but I was finding it hard to replicate their ultra low level and terrain following flight profiles… Same applies across many other areas of DCS - helos, Viggen, Mossie - tell the AI to fly at 10-20m AGL and expect them to get on with it

Try flying close to the Chase as an opfor…. (I tried to use it as a merchant type stand in for a Victory ship - did I get an unpleasant surprise )

I was surprised to read about Spit pilots getting caught out by Zeros…. Would have to check which models - but presumably Vcs over Darwin? I also think the match ups with the 109 and both 190s will be fascinating I’ve posted before though - would be great to have an Illustrious class carrier (and a Seafire MkIII…!) to go with the Corsair and Hellcat (Norway - about to get the right map… Tirpitz and JG.5 here we come )

Genuinely don’t understand the desire for a global map… - Model past, current and potential future conflict zones -Model them well, with location specific terrain, detail and “character”

Compartments / flooding could be simplified along the lines of focstle, midships, aft - to allow bow or stern first sinking, port / starboard for list / capsize. Perhaps separate damage hit boxes for magazines, machinery spaces and CV avgas bunkers I guess hull and deck playing would need an “Armour” value that would repel or be defeated by set ordnance. Below waterline hits should be able to cause flooding damage

Absolutely yes - for each and every one of these

I have just installed OB on a new system… Having a reasonably stocked hangar, I don’t want to start from scratch with custom controller assignments for each aircraft will all my existing settings copy across to the new PC if I copy the user\saved games files across to the new system??
