I have seen people talking about this option during server creation. What exactly is the norender option? How does it affect gameplay?

This map does not look that good to be honest. It almost looks like a copy and paste of a google maps image.

idk, but you should try out the Dynamic DCS server if you have the chance. It's REALLY good compared to the other popular servers imo. Also, I think its the only populated server that actually lets players command ground units to try to capture the map from the other team (everyone with CA can manually control ground units, but only approved players can issue waypoints, etc.).

Yes it is...if you go to spectator and rejoin the pilot, you will be able to control countermeasures again.

Because of this:

The lofting, propulsion, etc. were corrected last patch, but the seeker/guidance seem to be modeled incorrectly, and HB does not have access from ED to change them. If you lose TWS tracking, the A variants are supposed to go stupid, while the C's should go to an intercept point based on the targets last known heading, alt, speed, etc. and go active 5 or so miles from that point. Also, if you STT lock and lose lock, I believe all variants are supposed to go stupid...not 100% certain on this though, the C's might be different than the A and go pitbull. Right now, they all just go active straight away like the amraam and dive down to the ground upon losing the target on radar. Also:

Do we have any idea on a time table for this? Like, statements from ED somewhere that I missed?

please delete...double post

What does everyone think about the A8 now that it has been released? I'm thinking about picking it up. Is it worth a buy? Side question: How does it compare to the other WW2 planes that have been released in terms of capability?

Are the vehicles/aircraft in the free additions section on page 1 a complete list of units to be added in the next WW2 update, or are there additional units not listed that will be included as well? The allies seem kind of empty comparing their tanks, tank destroyers, etc. with the germans.

I do not agree with this at all. There's only so much you can do with ai scripts. If you fight against real players, it offers much more of a realistic experience. Out of curiosity, what servers do you fly on when you venture into PvP? Because there are a couple servers that offer extremely well made dynamic PvP campaigns.

Isn't that what they do now? lol

oh, I got it from somewhere else lol. Someone posted it in a discord server I'm a part of. I didn't know it was 4 years old, my bad

you play with jester? or is your buddy also your RIO?

idk man, im now crashing randomly without using any radar modes

strange files appearing lol

ah ok, so flip the acm switch up, put it in boresight mode, put the cross at the top of the HUD near the target, then launch?

Yeah, I always fly with autopilot turned on (even when dog fighting lol). In fact, engaging autopilot is one of the first things I do after takeoff. It help so much with the trim that there is really no need to fly with it off in any situation imo.

I wanted to get some clarification on ACM with the 54. I'm trying to get the phoenix to go active right off the rails, enabling me to lob a 54 in the general direction of a bandit and have the it track. Do I just have to flip up the ACM cover and pull the trigger? Are there other special steps I need to take, like putting the bore sight on the enemy first? If placing the bore sight cross near the enemy is required before launching, is there a way for me to disable that and have the missile do a wide search on its own?

Sorry if this is a stupid question with an obvious answer lol, but what is PN? What's it stand for?

what exactly was changed with the PN and lofting?

Can someone give me a rundown of what changed with the phoenix, specifically? What exactly was changed with the PN and lofting parameters?

yeah... I meant to say more than 2, not "multiple"

where is your cursor in the F10 view?

Can't change the title, but I meant to say "more than 2", not multiple. Edit: Are there any plans to allow DCS to use more than 2 cores?
