Don't we already have that to some degree in the current version? I've noticed degraded braking performance on wet runways and when it's snowing. Although I don't think there is a visual indication of standing water or slush/snow on the runway now that I think of it.

Those three stations are the only available for TGPs on the F/A-18.

Nice paint Mainstay! ------- I've been trying to get more proficient at using the ME to create some immersive missions. Here are a few random pics from what I'm currently working on. Lots of AAA firing streams of tracers into a darkening sky and illusive self-propelled arty that pops out, fires and runs away. Oh and a daily dose of Hornet porn.

Haha, yeah guys I can confirm that is a ferry config as per my original post. Shots fired! :poster_ban:

And for those times where your tanker support is, well, not so supportive - A Litening pod on the left cheek station as seen here on Aussie Hornets: Likely only used when ferrying the aircraft though as that pod's FOV would render it pretty useless.

Thanks for the heads up!

Could not agree more! Coincidentally I just re-downloaded a couple of his missions yesterday to dive into - I hope they haven't been broken by the DCS updates too much. The replayability that Joyride worked into his missions is first class!

Thanks mate; i7-4770, 16GB RAM, Nvidia GTX 660, Win 7. FPS does take a hit but I haven't been running a counter it would be upwards of 30FPS though as it isn't noticeably shuddery. In an effort to keep my posts 'OT', here's a pic from yesterday when myself and two mates jumped into the AEF161 free flight server. Had a bunch of fun so cheers to those guys for hosting an AU based dedicated server. If any of you guys see this, we will endeavour to jump on your TS server next time and say g'day.

+1 PR:BF2 is one of the all time greatest! Still incredibly popular for such an old engine, I feel strongly that other developers can learn something from them.

Amazing pics to everyone, and Starway - Hornet pics look stunning! Are those GBU-12 skins a mod?

I love using TARS/Aries but you're right, a native DCS solution would be ideal. Then some liberal use of kick/ban for people who don't use it - hah! :music_whistling:

Creating a training mission for my buddies and I as we get back into DCS after a long break. Got a little carried away 'jazzing' up our forward deployed location with thanks to Ranger79s object pack...

That was a cool vid Octuplefire! Cool, but really painful to watch some of those guys not giving way!

Hi Sobek, could I please get my forum username changed from 'F/A 18F' to '|Dusty|' ? Many thanks

Fair call. I don't think WIB is a total write-off though. There seems to be a decent balance throughout their articles as well as an amazing breath of topics and contributors. The article linked in my previous post shows support for the F-35 whereas there are plenty of other contributors at WIB who are quite outspoken in their disapproval of the aircraft. And yes, it's a great headline, but you did actually read the whole article right?

https://medium.com/war-is-boring/don-t-think-the-f-35-can-fight-it-does-in-this-realistic-war-game-fc10706ba9f4 Another quite interesting article discussing the F-35s capabilities from 'War is Boring'. The author plays out scenarios using CMANO discussed in the 'other vechicle sim news' forum.

Sweet! Many thanks.

Thanks guys! Couple more:

Ha ha ha, this thread is awesome!

Absolutely it will. Although in my (not very expert) opinion it seems like they've got a pretty pricey GPU in that setup and have skimped a little on the CPU. I would be interested to see what others say. P.S. welcome to the forum!

Yes! Incorporating MP stats would be great as well.

Nice shots Eightball and Snoopy (love the -135 skin)! I thought I'd check out the new ship wake effects for myself. And this thread is lacking some Hornet porn so here goes: Looking forward to DCS level Carrier ops one day. I would relish the challenge of landing a Hornet with PFM on a DCS carrier.

This... Again? :huh: :D

Well there is the GBU-39 Small Diameter Bomb (SDB) although that's 250lbs not 50. Surely they would easily integrate onto unmanned platforms down the track.
