I was under the impression that work had already started. That would be a good reason for not giving the location though.

Really wish ED would at least just tell us the free map's location... I mean, they don't have to give an estimated release date at all. They just need to say, "The map will be ____. We are not ready to share an estimated release date yet." That's it.

Hey man, like was mentioned above, you should get in touch with this guy: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=248221 He's also looking to make a Su-17M4 and has some good experience with 3D modeling this plane.

It's there for good, but you can still transfer your steam purchases to standalone if you are getting nervous about it. However, you cannot transfer purchases on standalone to steam. Other than transfer ability and the cut steam takes from DCS, there isn't much difference. You can still do everything on steam that you can do on standalone (i.e. play in open beta version, take part in the sales, etc.). As for me, I used to be on steam, but transferred over to standalone so I could support the devs more. However, I know that some people like steam do to the fact that they want all their games in one place.

title. Would love some more top gun nostalgia

well then, that's probably why I think they aren't doing any damage. Thanks for the insight!

are you in stable or open beta?

can the HQ-7 engage air weapons like HARMS and JSOWs?

I wonder what the new free map will be. I'm going to throw something out there and guess that it will be a jungle/island/tropical map. My guess is the Philippines

I thought that each missile was a separate file/folder with guidance that was just copy pasted from a general fox 3 template, just with with tweaks like lofting, etc. How does that work? Do all fox 3s reference a single guidance file, or is each missile a separate "folder" with a separate guidance that's just based off the same template? (I have no clue about coding, etc. as you can see lol)

Oh...I was, in fact, thinking that ED was going to give you full access to the 54 missile code. Thanks for clearing that up! Another note: Wow, this thread blew up. I wasn't expecting to get this many responses lol.

Let's say you are up at angels 30-40. What is the absolute max range you could send a LGB against a target being lased in game?

It's called hyperbole...and i was literally just asking where to find the manual...that's it What? How did you come to that conclusion? You just quoted me saying that module creation requires more than just looking at free documents on the internet. The only questions I asked in this thread were, "Anyone know where I can find a manual for this plane? or is it classified?" You just assumed that I thought a manual was all that was required to create a full module...

You got that wrong in the first part. I'm not really interested in the module, but he obviously is. I wasn't looking to actively participate in the mods development in any way, but felt the least I could do was ask people here on his behalf for help finding the manual. There's no problem with that at all. And I'm pretty sure he knows that module creation with involve a lot more than just looking at some random free documents online...

umm...good for you? Also, pony up? How about no? I'm not making the mod, nor am I even thinking about making a mod. There are plenty of free PDFs of manuals/documents out there for military planes (F-14 just off the top of my head). http://www.avialogs.com/index.php/en/aircraft/avialogs/aircraft-manuals-and-documents.html And hey, maybe there was a free PDF of the manual for this plane out there like there are for a bunch others...if there wasn't, oh well. I was trying to help a friend out by asking around here to see if anyone else had more luck. The only link I posted was in that thread was for this thread where literally everyone can very plainly see that it was not me, but rather Rudel_chw that found them.

Hope we get a solid time frame soon, not just "maybe summer 2019" because that's almost over.

Well....if they end up weighing the same as a duck, then all bets are off!!!

player driven tanks cannot go through chainlinked fences/walls like they can in Caucasus. When attempting to ram through them, they catch on fire and stay up. Same thing happens when you shoot at them with AP rounds, they stop the shells, catch on fire, then stay up. Also, player driven tanks cannot drive through taller bushes

On the Persian Gulf map, and to a smaller degree on the Caucasus map, player driven armored vehicles will not drive through small bushes, fences walls like they should have the ability to do. on PG - Small bushes, fences, walls all stop armored vehicles in their tracks. The metal fences and clay walls actually catch on fire after a tank tries to ram through it. They actually seem to be indestructible as well, since nothing, not even bombs, will destroy them. On Caucasus - some small bushes (mainly the size around the rivers) stop armored vehicles in their tracks. The fences and walls are fine on that map in my experience. Needless to say, this should not happen. A 50 ton tank should not be stopped by a bush, chain-link fence, or a clay wall.

Rolands were engaging air weapons until recently. Also, the HQ-7 is really crappy at anti-missile

like title says. Rolands will not engage...or even attempt to engage...air weapons like anti-radiation, JSOWs, etc.

After testing again, its strange....sometimes they will kill in one shot like they should, or at least do damage. Other times I can watch a single plane take 15 hits and take no damage at all. EDIT: what's the warhead compared with the stinger? Is it smaller? If so, that might be a reason I think no damage is being done.

I was testing the igla (both versions) in PG. Out of 20 or so shots, 15 hits, but only 2 kills....or that even did any damage. I had a Stinger right next to it and it would get kills every shot that hit. Also, I was manually controlling them in tac commander slot I will try to post a track.

title says it all.... when iglas do hit something (a lot of the time they do not track correctly) no damage is registered by the plane hit. As a comparison, stingers hit and kill in one shot
