Horns

The Viggen is what made this game click for me. It is forgiving with speed, had some give with AoA but makes it clear when the pilot pushes that too far. The tutorials are very good for someone with minimal flight sim knowledge, and flying low made it much easier to acquire targets when I was learning, although I think target spotting should be better now with everything. I do think JohnathanWinters has a point too with the Mirage, I was about ready to quit DCS because the Su-25T was so tough to fly. The Mirage gave me hope because the act of flight itself was so easy. Ultimately I moved on to the Viggen because I struggled learning the cockpit due to it being in French, and the manual at the time wasn't as informative as I needed, but the manual has been updated since so that might be different now, and maybe OP's friend's memory is better than mine.

As far as I can tell, this is the last official word on the Mirage 2000 English cockpit. Do we have any idea when this will be forthcoming? If there is a more recent official comment on this I apologize and would appreciate it if someone can direct me to it. I don't want to be the "are we there yet?" guy and I'm aware the standard answer is "when it's done/two weeks", but Tuesday will make it a full year since I purchased the M2K, expecting the official English cockpit "soon" and trying to be patient. This official word predates that purchase. Gospadin (RIP) was kind enough to provide a mod that has been useful until now, but we really do need an official one that doesn't require third-party utilities to work.

Aesthetics are the reason I wanted to remove it too, the rest of the a/c has a beautiful symmetry to it, but perhaps it will grow on me too :) Gotcha. So I guess it's removable in case there is some circumstance which might require that probe to be disconnected, but in the absence of that it's always on. Thanks to both of you :thumbup:

Thanks for confirming that JoJo. It makes sense that users wouldn't want to commit to not needing air to air refueling when they could otherwise provide it.

Page 17 of the new manual states "Air to air refuelling capability is provided via a removable probe..." Do we have the option to remove the probe in DCS? If so, how do we do it?

Nvm

Does the forum share resources with the update servers? Are we all changing this outcome by observing it? *gasps*

38 :)

Didn't someone say that about 50 pages? Still like men btw?

I bet they wish they had advertising on these forums now

Decided the facestalking needed a more personal touch? :P

But our hornetry powers have been suppressed by the very tyrant we must use them against! I played way too much ESO...

I think you might have misunderstood the point... :P

You know how the whole room goes silent as you tell the person next to you something confidential...

For real real

Maybe those nice people in the Russian military will let you use their servers? You'll need something weapons-grade to withstand this demand

I really hope there's no DDoS protection that automatically rejects commands from the same IP after a certain number of reps...

Oh, I get it now, ED has been taken over by Overkill and they're holding our Hornet hostage until we buy hype train fuel! :mad: (Overkill are the Payday 2 devs)

Sure do MrLunarFish! Now there's a sentence I never expected to type...:megalol:

I guess a topical screen cap from "There's Something About Mary" would break forum rules...:lol:

I hope it releases soon, it's tough to procrastinate with cleaning because *I didn't* just get a new module

Anyone else getting a JSON error when they try to update?

2.5 is the release, 2.5.2 is the beta

Oh yeah, very true. With the AV8B I don’t think that was over 1 GB (extra) but this is a different situation, especially due to 2.5

I hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think each of my modules was less than 1 GB. Fingers crossed your download is less than two hours (and that I'm not giving you false hope) :-)
