Amazing depth of testing. Absolute joke of a scoring system.

Vacations, Christmas or any other reason does not mean anything. Christmas isn't some magical deadline that if they miss they will lose business. They have not announced a release date only upcoming info on the Viggen. The info is probably delayed now yes, why didn't everyone expect that? They have done it every single time. Literally every time.

I think you mean pull my finger. Smell my finger is something else.

There was supposed to be a part 2 for the now known Viggen and Corsair announcement last March. Over a year ago. Still didn't happen. I'm not mad or anything I know they will get it out when they get it out. Some people haven't learned...

You know what, I read an official report or debriefing on the US military operation Allied Force (you can find it online) a while back and now that I think about it they didn't talk so much about munitions being used (unless they were really expensive) but they made a pretty big deal about how many hours they were putting on aircraft frames and how costly it was and hard to sustain.

Yeah you're right they were Hellfire missiles. I forgot about those. But on the topic of Mavericks check this video out. Most bad ass missile strike I've ever seen. These things pack a punch. Turn volume up. http://www.military.com/video/guided-missiles/air-to-surface/recieving-end-of-maverick-missile/1020911054001

I've seen footage of US Apache pilots using $100,000 Agm65s (*correction, AGM-114 Hellfire) to take out a single insurgent.

F-16 would be easier since it's fly-by-wire no? Also wasn't the Falcon BMS AAR really unrealistic until 4.33? I would think AAR is like flying helicopters in DCS. It feels impossible until you train for hours and hours and then it clicks. I'm bad at it but I don't feel the need to practice AAR since I have never needed it. If I need gas I need weapons too. I can maintain speed and heading with the tanker but I can't for the life of me maintain altitude.

I know hes called the WSO/navigator, I also figured he was a co-pilot my mistake. But anyway, I'm asking because I want to know if we can single player pilot this plane when it comes out.

Does anyone know if the F-15E pilot is able to do full ground attack without the co-pilot or can only the co-pilot do ground attack?

You have to go to modules and download them...

I think this plane is cool, but at the same time I'm thinking this could be an F-16 or at least 75% of an F-16.

Any word from ED about the poll where DC scored top?

I've always thought the A10 needed this. Would be awesome to be able to set SPI/MARK just by looking at something.

What's the disadvantages to the bubble system? I always assumed DCS, and most games in general don't render objects that can't be seen, such as inside houses and stuff.

What does the auto hover actually do? I just trim for hover and it's fine, don't even use it anymore.

GBU-12s need line of sight for laser, maybe the bad weather is affecting it. Also try selecting the GBUs with DMS left and right instead of directly clicking them on MFD. I've heard that can revert it to its standard profile setup and the laser won't fire.

You guys own real Mustangs?

For the record I would pay well over $100 for a proper DCS dynamic campaign.

Ok and I respect your opinion. I don't think it's a minigame, it's an overview of what is happening and the capability to plan missions in real time. Like a hugely advanced and dynamic form of the briefing before a mission in DCS. And even if it is a mini-game, what's wrong with that? Like I said you can play it like that, you absolutely don't have to. I was just pointing out how capable it is. You say you don't want to sacrifice time spent in an aircraft. I'm not being a dick but have you actually tried this system? You don't have to sacrifice any more time with this system than you do in the pre-mission briefing in DCS. Again, not being a dick so don't take it that way. The DC is very popular even with DCS users and for good reason. The only reason it didn't get even more of votes in the recent poll is because the majority who didn't vote for it haven't actually tried it. The large majority want this. We want it bad. BAD.

A dynamic campaign is essential to have in DCS. I just learned what it can do and it blows me away. I thought in a dynamic campaign you just get generated missions some what based on the outcome of the previous missions. It's not that at all.This is a tutorial example from Falcon BMS on planning a package. The entire war is running constantly. You don't even have to step into a plane you can play it just from the "commanders" view. In BMS online the war is running in real time 24/7. [ame] [/ame]

These pictures are amazing.

F-15E is a goddamn war machine and needs to be made.

The vram showing in game seems to be wrong. My vram was showing 15GB. I don't know how its supposed to work but I have a 3GB card and I don't think it would even play if the vram usage was higher than the actual card.
