I mean any weapon on any pylon that can realistically be carried. In other words, the payload editor menu available before flight.

Just a suggestion for payloads in multiplayer, maybe something for FC3. The current payload setup is a bit limited. Make it so payloads are determined and saved in the mission with regard to the following: -Give the option to lock payloads and not let the client change them -Give the option to allow only certain weapons with others being restricted that the client cannot use -bring back the ability for a client to choose any weapon on any pylon, and get rid of the limited menu system. Thanks for listening!

There is something good to be said about restricting the number weapons used to make you think about your choices, 51st's GI has this. There is also something good to be said that you don't have to spend time to count your missiles. I think an ongoing campaign is better suited to limiting resources than a one off mission. Also, if realistically you had 8 missiles on your jet and your you were in danger of dying, your life ending for ever, I hardly think that you would be thinking, ah man, my squadmates are going to call me a spammer and the government is gonna be upset that I am wasting missiles. :)

I disagree. It has been said that military agreement influence public releases sure, but still, if ED are working on a military sim for say hypothetically a C-130, I doubt that they will release it as a public sim. You still have to release something that has public interest for it to be a worthwhile investment in time to develop the sim, even if some work has already been done for a military sim! Also, ED listen to us in these forums and consider our opinions in their releases. They have shown this many times.

You made a great post Brum! People, like so often on the internet, get over excited and say things they wouldn't face to face because of internet anonymity. We all are mostly passionate about our hobbies, but this just a hobby. For ED on the other hand this is their job and the means to put food on the table. Hours and hours of hard work, while some of us are just down right negative in our commenets about their work instead being constructive. Also, remember we don't know what's going on behind the walls of business. What doesn't make sense to us can make sense to ED as a business decision. In this small market of flight sims that is danger of disappearing altogether, we should be a little more appreciative.

No! No soup for you. Come back 1 year. :D

I guess I am screwed. I have a life, but want a DCS: Fighter in it so bad lol :doh:

Is there an option for a player to see what the AWACS sees announced? I don't recall this in the old beta. Did I miss it cause it would make a great option instead of using external software!

What's the old saying? Give the customer what they want? :) I appreciate all the hard work though. Future I hope is bright. I am so looking forward to DCS Fighter. (Broken Record mode on) Personally, I don't want FC3 and the same planes with the avionics modelled pretty much with the same detail from 2003 (Broken Record mode off). I know however, there are many great improvements in FC2 and I bet there will be in FC3.

It was great fun and it was nice to see ~64 players from all over the world there. Good stuff.

A full house with 64 players! There is no doubt when it comes to online play, head to head A2A is really what is missing in DCS. It is going to be an epic mission. Lots of goals for the strikers and the fighters. Breifings posted in the team sections of the 104th forums. Thanks to all those that signed up.

Dont believe what you read, or watch lol

Happy belated b-day Chris! Thanks for your hard work in this community.

Hi Et, Yes, all our FC2 missions feature the Ka-50. We just have to make sure to balance sides out, but it has never been a problem in the past. Sign up with the link posted above. Hope to see you guys there.

Guys, it would be best to sign up on the 104th forums. You will need an account anyway and the one thread makes it easier to track. Thanks http://www.104thphoenix.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=3369

The title of this thread makes me want to almost cry. For years, dedicated fans such as me just waiting for a DCS:Fighter and have been playing Lock On since 2003. You want to spend time on a new jet for FC?! Let DCS:Fighter come out then turn on game mode. I have nothing against people that don't want hardcore realism. The above option makes us both happy ;) I think I will go write a song now about the wait for DCS:Fighter. It is going to be an epic :)

Skoiboy, It seems that the slewing has changed in BS2. I can't get something comfortable either! I tried removing the keyboard key presses sent by the mini stick and just using it as a normal joystick. I then tried different curves and I could not get anything that would let me slew with a good precision! I spent 30 minutes on it. I will try some more. Don't know what it is. In A-10C slewing works great. In FC2 slewing with the mouse in ultra precise. Can any one form ED comment please? Thanks

Different strokes for different folks, but I think 100% of the people present on these forums have interest in combat flight simulation. The number is not 100% in terms of fans on these forums of non-combat flight sims. While I appreciate business rationale to increase customer base, the current customer base, that made ED what it is today in terms of their non-military work, should be catered to for their support. Of course it seems that ED is trying to cater to us and increase their customer base, which is excellent!

Ouch, damn that is fugly! Party like it's 1999! lol

Will do. I know for A-10C they tweaked the axis assigment for the MFD slew as the beta progressed. Maybe someone knows if the Shkval slew was tweaked for BS2? I will see how it goes when I get a chance.

Cool! Then sign me up for MiG-15 vs F-86 and MiG-21 vs F5! :)

Hi Skoiboy, If you are happy with the defaults settings, then I wouldn't worry about it. My setting in the sim were just for Ka-50:1 as it was hard to get a good feel with it. A-10C works great, and I have yet to test Ka-50:2.

As cool as this pic looks, what are we going to do? Fly A-10s around with P-51s? I guess we have to wait and see. Even if it is just a plane that you can take out for a ride and not combat, I suppose it will still be a nice diversion, and I am sure the modelling of the legends aircraft by ED will be second to none.

Not a worry. You can design a mission any way you want. Also, BS2 and A10C are not really fighter, player vs player aircraft are they? So, it does not matter much. BS has been in FC for a while now and there no problems from the BS being more complex. Now, if you put a Su-27 from FC against a DCS:F-18, then we may have a problem.
