Was it Mr. Snowden who told you that? :doh:

Very smooth gameplay. Also, PeterP's HDR mod, one of my favorite, has been officially implemented. Very nice job!

As things are, the fastest way to blow Su-27's tires is to hold down the W key or the rudder pedals while taxiing. Even for speeds around 30km/h. Instead, brake in a press-release-press-release pattern. Try it and you will see.

I see... I use software provided by Saitek to map the W key to the brake axis of my Saitek Combat pedals. Works just fine... Of course, with toe-brake axis implemented, I could just assign it in DCS options UI. A bit more convenient I guess.

I am a bit curious. What difference does a toe-brake axis make, compared to what we have now in Su-27?

No amount of eye-candy is enough... Only EDGE itself is.

I mean literally what I said. Realism. This is a flight simulator. It is suppose to simulate every aspect of real world aircrafts -- including how they are handled by real world pilots. That is the element of realism. Real world pilots handle a military aircraft with hotas system, not with keyboard and mouse. But if you just want some fun and don't care about realism, or if you are limited budget-wise, then there is no harm doing what you do.

Not that you cannot have fun with just keyboard and mouse. You might even be able to fight like an ace with just that. But when it comes to realism, I have my doubts on your setup...

The recent update eliminated the right turning tendency on the ground. Good job. But Su-27 now has a tendency to return to level flight when I try to turn. Is it supposed to do so?

Good to see a potential competitor for VR. Actually seems more promising than VR.

Got cheated by user reviews again...? Damn. Thanks for the information.

In contrary, what I perceived is that the banner definitely means something... Of course, I can't give you a statistical analysis, because I have only one data point. The previous banner was about Su-27, which was up there since around Christmas 2013. The new Su-27 PFM was released about a year later. There was no other major releases from ED during that time period.

I see. That was a shame. They could have held a public vote. I would definitely vote for Mary Ann... :D

Is this another speculation, just like mine, or are there official words on it?

People, stop blaming my thread... It has done nothing wrong!

Why sad? The new banner is probably related to EDGE, which is the immediate next big thing. Changing the banner, IMHO, indicates neither the delay of nor anything else negative about F-18C. It simply means it will come after EDGE.

I had the impression that January is the traditional holiday season in Russia. So one should not expect much until some time well into February.

Looks awesome to me.

Any interesting interpretation?:D Also, I just ordered a book called The Ace Factor: Air Combat and The Role of Situational Awareness. Is it any good?

Has the weird right turning tendency of Su-27 when taking off been fixed?

Nice ideas! Will definitely try them out. Thanks a lot for sharing! :thumbup:

uh... Please define "real question"...

I had modern fighters in mind... Thanks.

How do you train yourselves in situational awareness? How do you find your enemies in the first place? How do you keep track of where your enemies are? Any tips would be welcome. Thanks in advance.
