  1. Yup, thanks for that, got some big plans for this module and some young'uns this summer.
  2. Looking at the latest patch notes, especially the C-101, that's an impressive amount of synchronizations that apparently now work by changing the code. Looking good for the future of multi-crew.
  3. I use the quick mission and advanced generator frequently, but it's sorely lacking in no ability to set up a specific enemy, especially in a one on one quick test fight. I really miss that feature, especially with so many and varied combinations of air frames and types we currently posses. I'd spend days in there just testing combinations and probably grab a plane or two I didn't have just to see.
  4. Far as I know your boat must have more than one waypoint for the TACAN to work.
  5. Cockpit lighting rotaries and HUD brightness can be bound to an axis also. Lot's of nice ease of living features. You guys should go pro, I'd gladly pay where this beauty is headed.
  6. Main problem was cycles of sorties with missiles, USAF suffered from the same thing, just not as badly, they weren't pounding the snot out of their weapons by slamming them repeatedly onto decks of carriers over multiple sorties. Hence the Iranians not suffering problems to the same degree. Digital weaponry exponentially expanded the sortie life cycles, increased reliability under long term storage and less manpower wasted on sortie cycle based inspections and rebuilds of the weapons. Digital components handle the rough environment better for longer periods of time, not that they function any better, there's just less in them to go wrong.
  7. Don't be so sure about that, might be a case of many having older versions of SRS, they may be causing an incompatibility. They already stated radio function of this mod is tied in with SRS.
  8. When H E double L freezes over. They aren't much of a mod team if they're not already busy working on a project.
  9. Install latest version of SRS radio, won't work as flyable without it.
  10. Thanks to the guys earlier in the thread, updated SRS and now working great. Outstanding job on the jet, feels great in the pattern.
  11. It's not the saved games folder name, converted over to DCS.openbeta, doesn't fix anything.
  12. How many guys who are having the lock out of the pit problem had the game install their saved game folder named as "DCS" instead of "DCS.openbeta"? Mine is DCS and I've the problem, it's there but even building my own missions can't get into the jet, either as player or client. And I am on the beta version.
  13. For VOR's design limits stations to different ranges according to altitude in above the station, TACAN probably suffer the same hardware limits. The close in to the station 'bug' where it no longer give you accurate distance is due to slant range, in reality it is giving you an accurate distance, your just that far up and over, the closer to the station with higher altitude the more impact on slat range, the greater the inaccuracy. If your flying two miles directly above station, you have a two mile reading when your distance is actually zero. "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4zJoKO-Zb8" It's old but lots of good information on the stations themselves and principles of how they operate. VOR's ranging Ground to 14,500' 40 Nautical Miles range 14.5K - 18K 100 NM's 18K - 45K 130 NM's 45K - 60K 100 NM's Under 5K gets reduced the lower you go they are line of sight stations.
  14. As far as I'm concerned, this has to be single best instrumented aircraft for steam gauge training and proficiency in the game. With the new weather it's dynamite, having a blast in VR.
  15. Omega hasn't really been used in aircraft since the 50's, only reason it still exists is a backup system for ships, why the coast guard runs and administrates the system.
  16. Split it, put the terrains folder on another drive and drop a symbolic link on it with a junction. Your game won't know the difference, terrains folder is the single largest in the game.
  17. It's missing the entire organic side of the house. You press a button and load up with weapons in seconds, in reality its days and hours worth of labor and coordination to get it all to work. Any mission ready operational flying organization takes years to achieve their readiness capability. Hundreds of ground hours, tasks, and people just to get that single sortie to work, and even that is no guarantee of success. It's labor in real life, that doesn't sell well in games. Those virtual drone pilots have something we lack, the expertise and experience of hundreds of people with thousands of hours backing them up with proven training methods and systems. And an operational plan and structure don't hurt either.
  18. 1997 US bought 14 Mig-29C's, one B, and six A's from Moldavia, shipped for test and eval to Dayton Ohio, and probably on to the Las Vegas map for a while. Between that and the German G model and depending on what Models the Isreali's were given for their evaluation there should be some wiggle room, not much new that could be revealed.
  19. Having an assignable button press to the HOTAS in the UI to proceed over using only the space bar, trade the kingdom for that in VR.
  20. It would be a nice feature to have a boomer view camera position as a minimum.
  21. Be fantastic to walk down the flight line doing a solo airshow admiring every module you ever bought, with a ladder climb mode turning on it's cockpit model when you rise to see it. Think of movies some of the talented guys around here could produce with that feature.
  22. Making a map might be easy, but wouldn't it be a major work developing your own GPS and coordinate systems and getting it integrated to get the weapons to work right without real world data? Than how advanced is the new weather system going to be, can it easily be matched to conform with your new imaginary map? Magnetic fields, stars, something tells me its not so simple as just making a newly shaped land mass.
  23. There are bad modules, and they will have you ripping your hair out when you can't even do simple things like getting working and functional key bindings that are critical systems to your HOTAS. So do choose wisely.
  24. "Is not permitted" language wise in a manual doesn't necessarily mean that it can not be physically done or attempted. There may be a simple wear and tear strain issue, or increased risk of incomplete start and engine fire, is there no specific reason given in print why it's not permitted, at least in the pilots manual. Probably needs further research prior to calling it a bug.
