It seems like the Mavericks have to be warmed up when spawning in air with them? Every other AC seems to spawn with them they are ready to go. Makes testing them a pain as you have to wait a few minutes each time.

Trackir makes use of F7 by default, and will override DCS' usage of it.

Probably because this forum bloated to the point where even glancing at everything is a full day job. Have you seen how many sub forums and threads there are? At least on reddit you can easily see what's hot at any time.

So with the A7 announced now by a different company, is Razbams version now just done? How does this even work? did you guys discuss with them and decided to let them have it, or does announcing it first means they get dibs?

Maybe then it would be good to respond to some of the points in the post you agree with? What you guys are planning on changing in the near future?

The game is constantly and seemingly randomly crashing for RIOs since the modules release, is there anything being done about this? Are you guys any closer to tracking down this issue? Its killing the enjoyment right now.

Well, the big issue once again is that spotting heavily depends on how zoomed in you are. When full zoomed you can spot contacts at a fine distance, as soon as you zoom out they dissapear again. I'm unsure what's going on with this right now, the changes being made to visibility seem arbitrary. The system we had before where we could see too far was not touched for months and months, then suddenly we regress again to what we've had before even that? Was there some timetable on actual in depth changes for visibility? It was supposed to begin when the graphics engine was unified or stuff settled down or something? Honestly don't remember.

Ah, thanks dude. Yeah I checked a bunch of recent bug threads but didn't see it, thought it wasn't released that long ago.

The new sounds for being locked by AA/AG, and being fired upon sound great, but they also are very very loud. When comparing it to the RWR audio warnings from other planes like the F18, the Harriers seem about about 3 to 5 times as loud. It would be good to tune this back a little bit, its somewhat overwhelming compared to the other sounds.

It's a fighter/interceptor, if your primary criteria is a2g then you are going to be dissapointed regardless.

Oh nice, and there are no issues with integrity check? I just never came across the alternative mods when searching for this, just the same one I found way in the beginning

I used to use the clean canopy mod, but I read that it not doesn't pass integrity check anymore so no MP usage. Does anyone know a way around it? Or a link to a mod that still allows clean canopy in MP?

Yeah have absolutely no clue why ED is not actively invested into things like DDCS or Blue Flag. These sort of servers are directly responsible for selling modules and maps. Currently multiplayer stability/performance feels like its barely keeping itself together at best, often being responsible for straight up ruining the MP experience. People like Drexx are working magic with the game, making it do things most people had no idea it could. Supporting them more, giving them a more direct line to ED or anything, can only be good for the game.

Yeah I noticed this same behaviour, I just started using Mavs with the DMT only for the moment. I'm guessing it's not intended to do this.

Also seems pretty likely that MLAs operating in hot scenarios would be rapidly retrofitted with CMs if it was at all possible.

For the plane itself the ground radar is the big thing I imagine. Though it shares a lot of advanced armament with the F18 as well. With Shrike, HARM, Walleye and TALD being developed by ED as well it makes sense to wait a bit with the A7.

What are the plans going forward with things like: Bomb/rocket damage (fragmentation/splash, increased aoe), missile/gun damage and missile FM. Jdam advanced FM (it actually decelarates while falling). Multiplayer performance (dedicated servers?). Updates on the visibility plans now that the new engine is here.

Yeah and then it works once or twice and then it stops working again. It's pretty clearly not a realistic workaround to restart DCS whenever it stops working. There's no point in running sorties when it is completely unreliable.

Any word on this being fixed? Not being able to use the sidearm at all anymore really sucks.

He was also playing with winter textures, it still seems to be about contrast and there were no changes to the FLIR system. So if units don't contrast against their background FLIR won't be much help currently.

Does this refer to assets for both the A7 and A6 or only the latter?

Aren't they still serving alongside the plus?

Use Imgur? Photobucket and FB are both pretty bad.

This is a good screenshot.

There's no way you can have the F18 only on blue, unless you cut its PGM capabilities.
