  1. sorry for the delay DxDiag.txt
  2. Hello; (Edit I had issues with petrov that just vanished. Shrug) For the Raduga Sight -. When I 'cling' to it the sight is off on my screen. It's odd - it's off center so I can only see maybe a fifth of it from the top left. It's hard to explain. It's like it's zoomed in on the sight (not the sight picture) in a weird graphics issue.
  3. As others said I would try training. You don't have to do ALL the missions (though Id recommend most unless you feel you can skip. For example i often skip take offs in fixed wing plane training; but always do start up and landing etc. You know about Chucks guides right? If not search and check those out for the airframe youre interested in. I can't recommend those enough and they're gold to have handy for questions as you go
  4. :Eyeroll: Oh give me a break. "Concerns"? As in I'm somehow not being sincere? One could equally say perhaps you're not being sincere since you just want 'positive or shutup' apparently. It's the message boards for the mi24. No one made you go into this topic. Deal with it. All I get from your entire message is - "Don't dare speak up about any concerns or worry's or you'll be the reason they don't release the module'" What else do I need? Let's be realistic. There's probably 50 different things a gunner does or needs to do that are smaller but just as important. What else do I want him to do? Anything that I cant reach from the back seat is what! I also would like options like jester i.e. 'inactive' or 'quiet'. And don't give me this faux outrage about early access. I've seen colossally bad EA releases and I've seen almost feature complete EA releases (cof cof f14) Do me a favor and just skip even 'discussing' this with me with your 'logic'
  5. I'll wait and see. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't concerned about it though as it's really important and a broken or inept ai will be a glaring issue
  6. Oh jeez I hope he can do more than four cmds
  7. Ya ya but i meant what's odd about the post and how was it fishing? It was a serious question and this is a message board about the dcs f14 right? When I said I heard that before I meant that jester TWS auto is broken
  8. Idk man.. First did I hear wrong or will bombs ; kmgu; and two rocket types not be available till later? Back to the AI - it's a huge deal to me and a lot of people it's a 2 seat helo. They generally don't add another seat just for laughs. It so important that it disturbs me a lot if the Petrovich AI is so behind they don't dare even show it in a EA video. For example why did wags switch seats? He didn't do a gun run in the front. No atgms. He switched to just show us him turning a fan on and to arm the weapons? I mean if Petrovich can't even arm weapons that's a MAJOR issue to me. I hate to harp on the f14 but it's the only comparison we have. To me the Petrovich AI is such a core part of the module I'd be very concerned to the point of rethinking things if he's really bad initially. Obviously I could be wrong but that tells me my priorities and thoughts on front seat AI don't match EDs - and seeing how long E/A lasts one wonders if that means Petrovich won't be firing atgms on his own until a year or two? It's too early to tell, but dont mistake my motives. I WANT this to work out. Desperately so. But the AI multicrew is about as big a deal as you can get for me with some airframes and unfortunately that especially counts as a mi24 (atgms are the fire and forget for example). And I'd definitely be lying to you if I didn't say my anxiety has just grown with the more info I've gotten.
  9. It was just odd to me that wags jumped to that seat. I could see doing it for the atgms.. but he jumped to the seat to show us him turning the arm on / off? What? I also worry that they discuss Petrovich so little. The only other comparison I have is HB and the f14 and they talked ALOT about jester. Did anyone else notice also that it seems we won't have bombs and kmgu and the two other rocket types initially?
  10. .. but why aren't they showing Petrovich off? It's a huge part of the module; a huge deal. Idk. It's starting to worry me. The vid today - he jumped to the front seat to flip a couple switches. Did he do so just to show that? As in my god I hope Petrovich can at least arm weapons?
  11. Idk if I should be concerned he jumped to the front seat to turn the safety's off etc.. I just wonder - why aren't they showing the Petrovich off?
  12. What's odd? I have heard that before but never understood what was meant
  13. Are any jf17 or f14 campaigns working
  14. Hello all. So I've heard that before and forgot to ask at the time. Supposedly with jester TWS auto doesn't work or work right. Can someone explain what's wrong and not working right pls? It seems.. to work for me?
  15. I'll have to recheck. How can I find out what the resolution of the flatscreen I HDMI is natively?
  16. Oh good it wasn't just me thank you
  17. My point about the aim7s is because someone replied to my above posts about aim9s. You should go check - the f16 very much spent it's first 15 years or so with aim9s on the wingtips in every pic I saw; and every f16 I remember seeing in west Germany / us early 90s as a USAF brat Idk man I'm almost certain they carried sparrows. Why wouldn't they be capable of firing a Sparrow pray tell? Besides my own memory a Google search contradicts you as well as another poster.. Are you basing your opinion off of dcs or something? https://www.f-16.net/f-https://amp.reddit.com/r/hoggit/comments/bsjfzo/the_case_why_eds_f16c_viper_should_have_aim7/ However I will note there's a dissenting comment in the above thread .. Edit: however it seems I may very well be misremembering. Do you have any links to settle this? Some claim only one subtype ever operationally carried them but they could for example. Others claim by 82 with block 25 introduction? Jw
  18. I'm curious how do you think the Jeff's radar should be functioning to make it more realistic? I don't know much about the jf radar
  19. Nah because they carried aim 7s. I think it's more traditionally heavy ordinance is more centrally mounted going light towards the ends. If not then where's examples of sparrows on the wings? Never saw it. They also did it when they had AMRAAMs initially I'll add. Look at pics of desert storm
  20. F16s ALWAYS used to have aim9s on wingtips. It changed sometime in the late 90s. So idk what you mean red flag - any pic of a viper from 70s to mid 90s will have aim9s on wingtips. I always liked that look better tbh But as I pointed out ... F16s carried aim9s their entire life until the late 90s. The airframes were getting older and iirc they figured aim120s on the wingtips helped extend the service life. (Edit: oh ya wing flutter..)Isn't that a bit of harsh judgement for just putting missiles on wingtips? It's not like it's not possible or was never done
  21. By the way noone has answered me - has anyone else been having major problems with sparrows recently?
  22. Ohh nice a space balls ref!!
  23. While this is true I disagree about the idea that you don't gain it by kills. If you're the grim reaper of the air than you have good SA- if you're getting consistent kills it's probably in part due to SA. My observation on this so far from my perspective : it very very much is an issue that can be really helped by a RIO or a wingman. Prior planning just won't work that well in a PVE server. Plan for what? The situations so fluid. You're basically stuck picking a 'method' ( high or low? Radar or no? Etc ) since there's really nothing to plan in say growling sidewinder; I don't see how one really would improve SA without more practice continuously and even better a RIO/wingman. proof in the pudding for me? I take up a Jf17.. because the better comp stuff; datalink; my SA was way better. At least one kill every sortie; sometimes 2. 3/4 sorties I'm landing undamaged as well. Vast majority of kills are F18s; then F14s and F16s. what's this tell me? It tells me that in an airframe with flashier comp devices to assist in SA and whatnot I'm way more dangerous. It also tells me that perhaps there's a cap - at least for me - in how well I'll be able to do a 2 person job alone against other humans Came to the same solution if you see my post above. The older airframe and it being made for 2 men. I took the jf17 and it was night and day. No blue on blue kills. Fairly good idea of what was going on; surviving.. Oh and I know how to RIO fwiw. I've got several dozen hours as one in MP The tactic I just don't feel is sporting (in a game on a PvE server) is legit sitting over an airfield not moving really. Otherwise it's all game. Mind I never said 'banzai'. However my idea of flying alone on a PvE server online doesn't include orbiting my airfield. Flying around doesn't mean 'banzai'. Even if it's towards enemy lines. Thanks for the post. You misubderstand my intentions. I was asking for tactics advice; and saying I wanted to improve my SA. I didn't say any tactics were 'boring' just that I didn't plan to use them. As far as being a one man show I've been in squadrons etc but I'm talking about times where you cant always have people you know lined up to play. I welcome discussion about the topic etc as everyone else has been doing. I'd ask you to skip the criticism on what you seem to think is my pointless post then - you aren't being forced to reply. At the very least can you not put words in my mouth? 'dont want to use boring tactics?'. ' want to win every fight' ? The one thing I said I didn't want to do was legit hover over a friendly airfield using the SAMs.
  24. Alright everyone you know what that means. Bounty on mower. Reward for proof of killing mower in a helo.
  25. It wasn't in DIs hind. Nice to see someone from the battlefront boards havent heard your name in awhile. I don't recall another game from that period with the hind
