  1. As per the screenshot. The way that video flows is with the first 2/3rds being "this lot is on the overall plan, but with no dates", followed by the "coming in 2024" with the clips of Iraq and the Mig29a. That seems fairly explicit to me.
  2. and interesting to note that they were the only modules that ED have committed to deliver in 2024, i.e. that the Corsairs, Intruder, Kiowa are not guaranteed for 2024.
  3. Just be careful to not have too big a zone, as it requires some serious horsepower to run and at least for me left me unable to do anything for a couple of seconds. I was looking to emulate an earthquake, so flattened a whole city. If you want to do the same, might be easier to use multiple scenery destructions and spread them apart in time.
  4. Nothing wrong with a preference for a more curvy option
  5. Sorry, I just picture a hot “teenage” F14 walking into a McDonalds, then coming out 15 years later looking like the F111
  6. Agreed fully. To my knowledge, there are no GPS guided Mavs. Just thought I’d throw that into the mix.
  7. Isn’t the F111 just a very fat Tomcat?
  8. As above, in addition, GPS guidance has been shown to be able to be either jammed or spoofed.
  9. As a cheap alternative to the comfort kit, I bought a set of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07K7DGKHN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 I use three of them over the top of the headset (side to side) and find it very comfortable. Hated it's comfort out of the box.
  10. sorry, couldn’t resist it, it was the first thing that sprang to mind
  11. I bought CMO a couple of years ago, one day I’ll get around to learning how to play it
  12. I was out yesterday in the Mossie at night (damn, that's tough). I've bound both the left and right handed landing lights to one of my controllers. The left landing light worked fine. The right, didn't. I was however able to turn on the right hand landing light using my mouse.
  13. I tried the wiper yesterday. Didn't seem to do anything
  14. OK, have been playing some more and have now incorporated your scripts into my generic Normandy WW2 (1943) scenario. There's a lot of other stuff in there too for anyone interested. If anyone fancies a play, the miz and an Oboe guidance kneeboard are attached. The appropriate flight to use for the Oboe mission is the 604 Squadron (night). I have tried flying this at night, so far it's just shown me that I need a "spot of practice". I dialed the take off time to a little before sunset. Thanks again for the work to make this happen. Simply awesome stuff. Normandy - 1943 - Attrition v8.miz
  15. That was truly awesome. One of the most impressive mods that I've yet seen. I was happily able to use the demo mission and was within .3 of a mile from the target, whilst bombing from 20,000'. I couldn't even see the target from the cockpit, I was too busy trying to keep it straight and level. Have to say that I'm amazed at the accuracy. Is there any way to account for wind and it's effects on the bombs, whilst calculating the release point?
  16. Can I please ask that if you change the airbase frequencies (again) that you advise which ones have been changed.
  17. What an amazing thread. Never noticed this one before. Gotta have a play with this.
  18. The first 190s were faster than their contemporary Spitfire Vs and the Soviet aircraft of 41/42’, which is where it got it’s reputation from. The Spit IX redressed things. By the time the Dora arrived, the Luftwaffe was already in deep poo: - The southern and Russian fronts had most of their fighters withdrawn to Germany to defend against bombers. - Fuel availability was marginal - The Luftwaffe pilot training was never enough. The numbers being trained were initially not enough, then as the war went on, fuel shortages cut training time down. There were also numerous examples of training units being scraped for crews in knee jerk responses to new threats (eg Torch landings in Tunisia). The result being that as attrition worsened reducing the number of experienced pilots, you had a far higher number of relatively inexperienced pilots. That’s demonstrated in the massive increase of aircraft lost to “non enemy action”. It’s very similar to what happened to the Japanese airforce and why the Marianas Turkey shoot happened - The pilots were told to focus on the bombers and try to avoid allied fighters - aircraft were setup more to destroy bombers, eg the 30mm canon, which added weight and reduced their turn rate - Once long range fighter escort was available, the allied fighters would typically massively outnumber them. I read an example recently of a massive USAF raid, that was intercepted by a squadron of just 5 Luftwaffe aircraft, two of the pilots being straight out of training - The allied aircraft continued to improve, eg the newer versions of the Spit, P47 and new aircraft, eg Tempest and Mustang So yes, the 190 was a great aircraft at at inception, better than allied aircraft. By the time of the Dora, it had got faster, but was facing massively more allied fighters, which were as fast and had better pilots.
  19. A single A10 can carry more than a single Tucano. However, a single A10 will also probably cost more to operate than 10 Tucanos. Take your pick, one “better” aircraft supporting boots on the ground during its loiter time, or a pair constantly overhead and others cycling through replacing the ones overhead when Bingo fuel or Winchester?
