The Legman

This did it :thumbup:

The FM has evolved quite a bit. However, yeah, probably when you are a pro you don't need any practice.

Sorry for bumping an old thread but i think it's to make justice. I am loving the Gazelle on its current state (1.5.5). It is a sensitive bird but it certainly feels a ton better than when i first tried it so thanks a lot for making it a real joy to fly, while challenging and fun.

Haven't watched the track yet but are you using the VHF FM radio? Or well, the proper radio to contact him just in case he has another frequency? 90 nm is quite far, but 30-40 should be okay. Also have in mind that certain missions might have a trigger that enables the JTAC once you are within an area. So don't take it for granted.

Looking for an european relaxed and chill group to play coop/pvp either on public servers or private hosted environments. I am spanish and english speaker, in Europe. I have most of the modules, but i have more experience flying the A-10C and the Mirage 2000C. I probbably can't fully commit to regular scheduling due to real life constraints. I appreciate realism but i am not looking for a second job in DCS :)

Los sprites de los impostores para el "model enlargement" se han debido romper en esta última actualización. Hay un par de hilos al respecto. Yo los tengo casi siempre en Off y desde el último parche soy capaz de distinguir las unidades de tierra y los aviones desde más lejos, similar a cuando están en "small". Lo que hacía era sustituir el modelo 3d por un sprite 2D (de ahí lo de impostor) que se escala más o menos con la distancia. Aunque con resultados bastante pintorescos especialmente en las versiones mediana y grande. Sobre todo lo noto volando el A-10 en el Cáucaso.

lua software tends to grow crazily. Optimization should be possible, though.

Make sure you talk to him on UHF.

It's most likely an ED bug but it only happens with the Mirage.

I was doing the same campaign again and on some missions he doesn't even takeoff lol. I have to contact him on UHF and he does answer when he is working fine.

Bumping to not start a new thread. I have noticed that the tanker accelerating and speeding up has gotten much worse since last update. I can refuel the A-10C without problems so i know how to. It is not because of the boom or canister, is because the KC-135 doesn't run like crazy when i am doing it on the Hog. But with the Mirage when i ask for refueling he slows down, when i am ready to precontact, starts speeding up. If i get close but don't manage to refuel and break away a little, he brakes like crazy and i have crashed myself a couple of times already on it. And when i am ready to precontact, starts running away. Both S-3B and Il-78M. It's really difficult. Edit: And putting FL220 and 430 kt on the editor seems like a strange way to circumvent a bug, because on public servers you will have to specifically do it on purpose. It doesnt work for me he slows down anyways and goes down to FL170 and then accelerates.

Yeah i was using DCS on my OS SSD but this year i will purchase a 256Gb for DCS alone and i am afraid it will get short by the time the Hornet is around xD

I noticed something weird was happening when i could barely see the trails of most SAMs as I used to, making dodge really hard.

lua based software tends to grow insanely

AI Wingman is cannon fodder. I sent him down to trigger sams and get a better situational awareness.

I have it that way: Throttle left, Joystick Center, Mouse right. In front of me on the tray of the desktop (it is a large tray, as wide as the table). The joystick on the center has helped me a ton to fine control but reaching the mouse is trivial.

On editor mission? Humvee with TOW, change ROE to return fire, put him to invisible and invulnerable and AFAC pointing to the relevant enemies. Make sure he is within line of sight and put him to mark, etc. Out there flying, you just have to make sure you are calling him with VHF FM on the proper frequency within range.

It's not only a matter of hardware, it's pretty difficult to keep the situational awareness on all the time if you are flying and changing your perspective but your body is on the same place so up and down are the same for you pretty much. I think you should watch the famous falcon tutorial on the art of the kill, that it's on youtube. I mean this because more often than not, your enemies will maneuver in predictable ways because they are trying to achieve an objective and AI always does the same, chasing your tail to kill you. So they will take advantage of your mistakes and punish you for them. For example, if you are flying straight or in a very predictable manner while looking around you are an easy cake to kill. It takes practice and time to get better at it, but its perfectly doable without any model enlargement. Just that the bots will have no problem knowing where you are. I suggest you to fly against real people on servers. And i don't mean the airquake servers, others with more realistic loads and such. People are less predictable but also suffer from the same struggles as you might. Also, it's much more satisfying to take down a real player :)

They are an official purchasable DLC now.

I agree. Been playing the Hog on and off since it was released and never got to fully try to properly fly it. The BQT and the AQT are the most fun i've had and its so satisfying (and punishing! xD).

Yes it was that. Great campaign by the way, i picked it up as a refreshment from months without flying, and i love it, it really helps to improve. Got the Advanced immediately too.

Same here.

Piggyback on this. I am having trouble at shutdown. I am failing because "ILS OFF" but i am pretty sure i turned it off while switching down the aircraft, same as the TACAN. Is there anything else I am missing? I am on last build on live (1.5.5) and recently bought the campaign last week. I did the interactive shutdown as well and it only detected off after cycling OFF->ON->OFF which is strange.

Ok, i don't have 2.0, so can't try. But good to know.
