I assume you're being sarcastic with respect to the 1TB comment... Anyway, when you install Open Beta, the installer first copies what it needs from the standard DCS folder, and then proceeds to haul from the internet. What it copies exactly, I have no idea, but it took some time so I assume it was significant (terrain for sure, and maybe sounds and such - I didn't pay attention to find out). I hope that helps. If you are serious about the 1TB comment, well, you aren't. DCS just isn't that big, even with 'all the planes' which are about 2-3GB a piece I believe.

So, if you bought it from HB, you should have received a coupon code. If you haven't already, go HERE and enter your code. That should give you the ED activation that you need. Then, head into the game (after the BETA BRANCH has been updated), and click on modules, you should see your F-14 ready to install. 2GB later and some installation time, you'll be up and running. I hope that helps.

I think we should all thank OP for his post, why? Because without out I wouldn't have been able to see how Cobra handled it in a public forum. Cobra, someday, when you retire, you need to teach the world how you handle criticism and formulate your responses. Either you have holes in your walls from things you have thrown, or you have the meditation capacity of Luke Skywalker in the later movies. More serious: They don't need a million dollar strategy because that's not what this community is. If you are new to flight sims, then I understand your point of view. If you are a veteran of the flight sim world then you still don't get it -- large companies and their strategies suck as this because of the way they look at ROI on the 'product'. Don't treat HB as a startup tech company trying to go global. They've evolved over time, and they are *really* good at what they do. I still can't believe your launch trailer was ~2min long - it felt like it was a movie in itself.

There is apparently a 'smokeless' variant of the AIM-54 with the new F-14 module from Heatblur. AIM-54C, I believe. Good hunting.

wiki - "The RBS-15 (Robotsystem 15) is a long-range fire-and-forget surface-to-surface and air-to-surface, anti-ship missile. The later version Mk. III has the ability to attack land targets as well. The missile was developed by the Swedish company Saab Bofors Dynamics." Likely has to do with the radar on the missile and how it distinguishes ships from the surrounding water. So, likely, no, not the version that we have.

Genius. Nice work. Fantastic contribution. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When you are on final, lined up and have the proper attitude, use your throttle to control your approach. If you are sinking too fast, and will likely end up short, add power. The idea is not to adjust your pitch once you are setup for a final approach - only use your throttle. In other a/c you can play with flaps etc... Just because you can land other aircraft, doesn't mean you are landing correctly. Take this for example: The mechanics apply, except at the end, as renhanxue said, arm your throttle reverse, and then slam it into the ground - no need to flare and hold (otherwise, you will likely fly past the runway if you are using one of the short ones). Approach config Approach speed Approach Attitude Don't play too much with the stick - find an attitude, and trim to it. Do not let your plane approach stalling speed. If you stall on final, you die. Different airplane, similar mechanics to most fixed wing a/c. Hope that helps.

Analogue control systems theory :-) Some extremely intelligent resources spent lots of time and money on these types of problems. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very nicely done, man. You should offer this to LN. They may add this to the official docs.

**Viggen Release Information (27th)** People should take the energy that has been expended in this thread, learn to code, and apply to the new job posting. Better use of the back and forth, nit-picking, and drama fest. (Check the other thread for the beta manual - Plenty to read and enjoy) https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=180252 Thanks LN team.
