Well, as per the above it would be considering A10C/KA50 and both transport helis on both sides. Sure there's still second line aircraft like Mig21/29/25A/10A/F5 and the 'trainers' but I consider these more flavour than any real unique capabilities for their sides. Since everything they can do is already done better by other machines on their side, especially with M2K available on both sides now. Maybe it would be an idea to give Mig21/F5, Su25A/A10A lives from a separate pool or something? This would maybe give them some use. I'd love to fly these things, but it's hard to justify when they are much more vulnerable + drain lives from the same pool as the 'better' machines. If they become viable it would add uniqueness to the capabilities of each side.

So at this point it's effectively back to all v all? Basically just f15 and 27 as side unique? Meh.

Interesting, wasn't aware a spanish version was being worked on as well? Is this version different in any way aside from markings? Secondly, does mean there's any chance of the Rh202 armed variant if it was mounted on this type?

What other direction do you see DCS MP progress towards that is not some form of persistent strategic scenario? You can say you don't want people to copy it, but its pretty obvious to me that it's the best direction for DCS and it would be great to see more servers like it.

When was this done? The idea would be that you wouldn´t see the dot at too long a distance obviously.

Considering we currently see afterburners as 'dots' even at long distance it seems that it should be technically very possible to simply put a small dot over the enemy.

The one in DCS atm can also carry SEAD missiles, though it probably is one of the ugliest models in the game as a whole.

The loadout chart does mention the Lau10 pods, was the Zuni still in use by the time of 'our' Av8B NA? I found they were withdrawn from carrier ops in late 80s, but still used from land bases. So I guess the NA would have access to them?

I mean, there we already have one thing. It shouldn´t depend on resolution.

Short answer, we got some imposters from the 1.5 update about a year (?) ago, but it was left in sort of a semi finished state. So there really is no standard online. Imposters off you can barely see anything beyond few kms, big imposters means you can see planes 50km away. So both are far from ideal. We are hoping ED will still look at it, but they have not commented on the workings of the system since it was released. We do not know if it is working as intended, if they are aware of the feedback, or whether there will ever be any improvements to it. According to what? There´s documents on air to air visibility that indicate that we are quite a bit off the mark atm. Also this post quite clearly shows some of the issues. http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2869267&postcount=170

So am I understanding it right that you are not constrained by EDs missile code for making the 54 realistic? Or is this taking into account the coming improvements to the missile performance?

Any word if we were getting the TGP on the centerline station? I think it was a later upgrade but it would be very nice to have.

Should be all aspect as well as far as I can tell? Would be weird if it wasn't for such a modern missile.

If you going to do IR only why not just go full on Mig21 vs F5 scenario? Keep all helis and groundpounders in, but cap fighters at that. A10A/C without TGP, base Su25 as the main groundpounders. Would certainly be interesting. Would force people to explore a lot of new possibilities with air to ground that are just not viable atm.

Perhaps its actually 2 flares but just exactly on top of each other? Actually I hadn't thought about that, just looks like a single one drops whenever I used it. Talking about 1.5 here btw, not sure whats going on in 2.0 atm. Not sure about the 48, when I drag the slider to 48 it gives me a full 64.

32 flares with the eclair pod, the indicator will show 64 atm but go down by 2 with each flare. I assume this is a bug.

Nice, I for one would certainly not mind seeing some pics.

Is that just based on the FB picture or were there other hints? Any reason for it being an early one?

Mirage can be always aligned with special difficulty option. Anyway, this whole refuel on startup is annoying in the first place to me. Sitting there for 5+ minutes staring at a fuel gauge going up is not fun. If I am playing I want to fly, not sit and browse the web while my plane fuels. You can already take off instantly with the M2k as well as the 29, and does that give any gameplay issues? They have practically the same capabilities as the big planes aside from fewer missiles. I just do not see what the refueling adds atm, neither for gameplay or realism. It can be 'cheated' with droptanks, it's not an equal penalty between planes as per the above discussion, leading to more measures to try and balance it out, and more reasons to argue about stupid things

It would be good if ED would provide financial or some other kind of assistance, such as assisting with translation and access to documents for developers making a red module. Just to put some kind of incentive towards developing a non western aircraft.

[ame] [/ame] Blitz street had some nice footage showing what damage a variety of different bombs do to buildings.

Well the hope in making the post is that we do maybe get some additional info. And if not too bad.

Not sure what you are talking about, did I say something wrong? Wags mentions specific systems, but what seems like the biggest and most impressive one is absent. It is a feature that is a big deal for not only the Hornet, but also a factor in the development of several other DCS projects. Since there is, like you say, no Hornet without the ground radar it is surprising to me that there is no news on it. I certaintly see it as a massive leap for DCS if it is indeed on track. It seemed like an especially big deal in one of the previous updates, so seeing nothing here nothing mentioned on it is either a good or a bad thing. Is it crazy that I'm interested in how its going with such an important DCS milestone?

No word on the ground radar? Is that good news or not? I thought that was a major factor according to earlier posts when it came to finishing the Hornet.
