  1. Agreed 100%, after seeing your mod I've been looking through the various other module directories and while I can identify a few aircraft with nav light textures on their skin texture, the vast majority seem to be calling the alpha and dds both from somewhere else... looking forward to working with you!
  2. Sacha - Excellent mod, big improvement over the stock stuff. Since I'm an avid texture artist... I would love to do a nav lights fix for all other aircraft, but as I browse the other directories, it looks like most of the acft use a generic light texture from somewhere (I'm assuming) in the Bazar/Textures directory... any chance you'd be up for working with me on making a nav lights fix pack for DCS overall?
  3. Eh, I dunno, flying in a real aircraft I've never liked the idea of music in my headset, but when I fly Elite: Dangerous, I just put pandora up in a browser window in the background. I know a retired Mohawk pilot who got himself and his right seater in DEEEEEP trouble because they were over Pax river orbiting and testing Q-bird jamming gear whilst pumping Metallica over the intercom for an hour - and they knocked out BWI's entire radar array for 30 minutes due to failing to pay attn to their flight path with active jammers on lol When I fly DCS, I run LiveATC in the background with a busy channel like Houston approach, or if I'm flying 2.0 Alpha over vegas, I run LiveATC in the background with KLAS (McCarran) guard frequency and/or approach etc. I've never understood the ATC chatter mods for DCS, you can get live ATC streams for free in the browser or MP3 player, just plug in the ICAO for the airfield you want to stream. http://www.liveatc.net/
  4. Weeeel maybe, buuuut
  5. Just a heads up, DAWS weather now works in DCS 2.0 Alpha *AND* 1.5.4, I just tested it and did a happy dance at my desk LoL
  6. A DCS meet @ CFM would be AWESOME. Let me know and I'll talk to the events coordinator to set it up, like I said I'm there on Saturdays as I have a day job, but I'm local in Plano so, PM me if you guys would like to set it up, we can start a thread and get the ball rolling. We host all kinds of events at CFM, pretty frequently catered. Hangar 1 has plenty of Rise of Flight planes in it (LoL) but we usually do events in 3 or 4 as there's more room. I'm working on building the library which is attached to the canteen in hangar two, which has air conditioning and comfy chairs (yay), we also have a conference room with a dryboard, TV for presentations, coffee makers... the usual! We can setup and do an even in a hangar with folding chairs etc but its pretty warm (95ºF right now on the ramp) outside these days :)
  7. Have been lurking on the forum for a while after getting into DCS but never registered... CFM is an excellent facility, I volunteer at that museum, doing tours, working on building the library, and also marshalling, pushing & pulling aircraft. Let me know if anyone ever would like a private tour, I usually work Saturdays. CFM has some excellent projects in the south hangar undergoing work for restoration, includuing: He-111 (RR Merlin engines) PT-17 Stearman (pre-electrical system model) T-34 Tank P-47D AC-26 Invader/Marauder (hvy ground attack version) I highly recommend rides in the Bell 47 chopper (very cheap) and I've been up in the stearman, which is really great (open air!). I'm a student pilot finishing up my taildragger training in Piper Cubs locally... maybe one day I'll get to try my hand at my grandfather's beloved AD-5 Spad (dreaming!)
