I can't say for sure however from what I have heard the a-10c has wake turbulence moddled unlike the the f-15 were it is always smooth. So my best guess is the wake turbulence is causing the plane to be thrown around behind the tanker. There is like someone out there who can answer this with a bit more certainty but who knows maybe I'm right.

OK well i started with the helmet but i don't know what to add to my description.lua file to make it be used.

I'm trying to make some skins For the f-15 but I can't figure out the pilot skin does any one have a template for the pilot or know were I can find one.

So recently the boom of the KC-135 was given a hit box. This is fine ("I'm all for the realism") But it has made mid-air refueling less about skill and being able so hold steady, to luck. it just is not worth it anymore. The boom has for as long as I remember gone into my plane then jumped up into the port. but now with the collisions it still does this but the boom now destroys my jet. it is not fun, if the boom having collisions is permanent than please make the AI better at putting the boom in the port not my plane. Or at least make it so that the lightest tap from the boom does not completely destroy my plane.

The way I feel about this is that it needs to be an option maybe a check box in the mission editor or even maybe something In the re-arming menu. I feel the same way with this as with refueling once we get the tomcat or the hornet. I feel like there needs to be an option to equip a drogue shute to the kc-135

I fly 3 in the black knights and I have noticed the same while trying to do a loop. Lead will call pull then remain straight and level for a few seconds then pop up about 1000 ft above me and keep doing it all the way through the the loop. It is incredibly difficult to follow. I like the new lag system for the decrease in lag nukes and the tanker stability however it makes formation flying much harder.

To start this off I am very happy with the f-15 however lately there have been a couple things bothering me. The first thing is once you rearm your stuck with those annoying wing pylons and there is no way to make them go away. In my opinion they should only be there if you actually put something on them. The next thing is that when landing and trying to stop the nose wheel steering is really hard to work with. Is that how f-15's are or should I be able to disable the NWS like in the a-10. If those couple things could be looked at or fixed it would make me very happy. What are your thoughts or ideas. Or do you have any other little wants for the f-15. Pssssst, make it clickie cockpit.

I am Working on a Skin that is a replica of the livery used on the prototype f-15. The problem I am running into is that the colors I am using are not very bright and need more gloss to look correct ill provide pictures showing what i have so far. I am using is Gimp and if anyone knows how to make the surface really shine it would be a huge help to me. Thanks in advance.

I'm afraid that from what I've seen we will not be getting a ch53 any time soon. Looking around on the wish list the helicopters that people want are the mi-24, ah-1, and the ch47. Hopefully those are in development somewhere, and maybe the ch47 will satisfy your desire for a heavyweight transport helicopter.

After a short bit of research this is what I have found. "The Hump was the name given by Allied pilots in the Second World War to the eastern end of the Himalayan Mountains over which they flew military transport aircraft from India to China to resupply the Chinese war effort of Chiang Kai-shek and the units of the United States Army Air Forces based in China. Creating an airlift presented the USAAF a considerable challenge in 1942" Don't have a clue if it is correct or not but it sounds reasonable.

I have been once however they were doing renovations so I did not get to see a lot of the aircraft such as the XB-70 so I need to go back when the new wing opens. I'm excited.

I have made up my mind that I have gotten addicted enough to Dcs that I'm going to upgrade my setup from my Logitech extreme 3D pro to something better. I have already made up my Mind that I'm going to get the thrustmaster warthog however I need to also get rudder pedals I want the best of the best (of course) which as I see it are the satek pro flight combat rudder pedals however they appear to be any where between $600 and $1200 that is rediculious and I can't afford them. Is there something I am missing with these or are they just over priced. Also is there another option that is has the same features like the toe brakes and adjustments just at a lower price. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I was looking around the museum website and I noticed they had virtual tours of many cockpits. I am amazed that I never noticed this. Take a look. Also if someone wanted to make any worn cockpits for modules this would be a huge help to them although after sitting in a museum the cockpits are a little dustier than they should be. http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/Visit/VirtualTour/Cockpit360.aspx

I think this would be a great feature. but for the sake of realism there would have to be options regarding it. For example on the virtual aerobatics server the mission setting could be choose what ever plane texture you want. However on a server like the 104th they could choose to disable that feature so that all of the aircraft in a certain group have to be the same paint job.

Thanks and I understand there really minor, but they are there. Thanks for looking into it.

I was looking around the su25t cockpit and I noticed a couple things. the first of which is that if you put your head against the glass the mid section of the plane is transparent. A less noticeable issue is that when the canopy is open the mirror does not show the ground upright. Should this be fixed?

id love to see multi-crew capabilities for every possible aircraft however with the hawk is is a trainer which i assume means the controls for the front and back would be close to the same. so i don't see a benefit but i think it would still be fun.

Not that I was expecting the f-5 today but I would be so happy if it did come. I'm hyped for starways textures but getting both would be amazing. Any idea if Nevada will be available with this in a bundle?

so i am not sure about this and to be honest i don't want to read through over 100 pages trying to find the answer but will this module be compatible with dcs 1.5 or just 2 like the gazelle?

Ahh the Texas flying legends. I love those guy's. They spend there summers about 30 minutes from my house and it is so cool to see those old birds flying around. Wish I could have been there to see the show.

These are some aircraft I think would be nice but I want to know what the community thinks. At the time of making this list I was trying to use ideas that I did not know about anyone making already. however I now know that the Mig 23 is in a very early stage but i am going to leave it. I am aware that there are several more threads like this one.

So I have not noticed anything regarding this but I was thinking about the f-14 and the fa-18. Both aircraft have air refueling capabilities however in the current state Dcs we could only refuel them off the Russian tanker. What is the plan as far as mid air refueling. Will the kc-135 be fitted with an optional drogue receptical for the new jets or will there be a new aircraft like the kc10 specifically for those types of aircraft.
