Texac

I was testing it an hour ago and almost arrived at the airport until the sim crashed. Flying in the third Quickstart mission climbing to 15000 feet max. with almost 100% RPM, not more and less than around 600 JPT at 400 kts everything was looking good so far a few miles ahead of Beslan. I'll try it again and speed it up a bit.

NOTE the Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System.

Wags told us we can expect more news regarding 2.5 in the coming weeks and itself so perhaps we also hear about all the new visual effects.

I also believe it is more a human error and I think a developer or QA also mentioned this. Page 32 of the Pocket Guide shows the engine limits table as well.

Edited the text and added the correct designations for the helmet and oxygen masks. Hopefully some of you would also like to see an update with a bit more detail to the current modern pilot model in the future.

I opened a wishlist thread mentioning this for other airframes. Glad you guys are taking care of that for the Tomcat!

I noticed a smiliar behavior as well. I jumped into the third, Caucasus - Airfield Takeoff and Navigation Quickstart mission. Took off, followed the first few waypoints with little thrust and then pushed the throttle all the way forward after I flew over Sukhumi - Babushara till Beslan. Upon landing approach at Beslan I noticed the aircraft/engine was performing differently depending on the nozzle degree. I crashed, fell out of the sky, right after that when attempting a SL. Perhaps we are really missing something here due to lack of knowledge with the Harrier.

I believe the sliding issue on a moving ship is a different story than this.

The whole aircraft is moving while stationary on the ground as it is also visible from the external view. So to me it seems more like a collision model bug or something like that?

Correct. Slow down a bit and pause at the right time.

"YES, it's finally here!"

I know it is a very little, nitpicking wishlist item but I thought about the pilot helmet or their models in general. I'm not sure how old they are but at least two years and I'd really like to see an update for their helmets as the current and only US pilot helmet model looks a bit out of shape and is being used on pretty much all the US aircraft modules. There also is the MBU-14 oxygen mask variant. Again I'll admit it is a very nitpicking wish but I thought why not at some point? Also worth mentioning might be that the F/A-18C will receive the JHMCS and a fitting pilot model or helmet is already in the works. Next to that other aircraft modules also receive their own fitting pilot helmet such as the M-2000C, AJS-37, F-14 and more. Here we see the HGU-55 helmet with the MBU-20 oxygen mask also present on the current DCS pilot model which has its wrong shapes or sizes. And here we have the MBU-14 oxygen mask.

Sounds like a good plan. Can't wait to see more progress of your work!

I just checked it and both nations are available. There is no need to change something in the db_countries.lua it can all be done within the discription.lua of the skin.

In der Newsletter stand nur, dass der Harrier im Early Access Status am 29 November veröffentlicht wird und dies wurde auch erfüllt. Das sind dann ungefähr 100%. 1.5.8 erscheint deshalb zuerst da sie wie schon erwähnt kostenlos ist und sich dort die meiste Spielerzahl befindet.

Auf deutsch übersetzt heißt das auch für alle anderen Module.

I'm pretty sure they are already preparing the OpenAlpha update for the next coming weeks... oh wait I remember that one...

Next to the Harrier I'm really excited for the China Assets Pack as well.

Skate, your Super Hornet model with the new textures is simply looking absolutely amazing. If I'm not mistaken I have read that you will optimize the pilot or/and cockpit model in the future once certain things are done. Any plans on this?

ED User Files has only a maximum upload size of 300Mb. Thus it would take multiple files and downloads. To me the first thing that came in my mind was to make it available on ED's website under the Texture Template section.

Didn't know about this side before. Thank you very much KIZIR for the link!

Ist zwar auf englisch, aber dafür relativ neu und ausführlich für den Anfang.

Actually it was never really officially stated that 1.5.8 would be released this year, on Wednesday or not. It was only written by Chizh in the russian forum and I guess why only there. There shouldn't have been any real concern or disappointment unless it is stated in an official post for example in the weekly newsletter.

In my case I can't do this one by hand if I don't have an exact replication of it. You can simply search for their squadron names or designations (107th Fighter Squadron, Red Devils) on the internet and you get your decal. However I wouldn't do it by hand itself and simply copy and paste it and adjust it for a acceptable quality.
