This is something Im wishing for as well together with a 9-line card that automaticly writes down the 9-line from JTACs. Skickat från min D5503 via Tapatalk

Is or is not Decoy a member of Razbam? Or are there now over 500 comments and not one single one from Razbam? Skickat från min D5503 via Tapatalk

Was just surfing around and then I stumbled on this image and allmost fell of my chair. Thats model is a Swedish Combat Boat 90! Please please tell me that you are doing a Swedish skin for it also, they have the same kind of splinter cammo as the Viggen. I grew up like 400 meters from the small shipyard that builds them. I did not know they where sold to Syria? Skickat från min D5503 via Tapatalk

I did a mission with a JTAC with a IR pointer some nights ago and noticed that the pointer dont look as it should in 2.5.6, it was very hard to see what way its pointing. But I hope they will fix that also Skickat från min D5503 via Tapatalk

Yes it is definetly an improvement, but there is some LOD error at some distances that makes it too extreme at the moment. But Im sure they will optimize it more soon, I would not like to go back to the dark ages pre 2.5.6 Skickat från min D5503 via Tapatalk

With the Hornet I find that formation and strobes are pretty ok but nav lights are extremly overpowered and turns the whole aircraft into a giant white sphere at distance. And the probelight dont work as it should. Skickat från min D5503 via Tapatalk

Indeed. Their behavior is just unbelivable. Skickat från min D5503 via Tapatalk

Im strictly singleplayer and I can refuel the Hornet without any major problems now, although I have not started training it in the Harrier, Viper and Tomcat it feels like I should be able to transfer it to them though. Two things I have noticed: 1. Its much easier since I switched to VR from Track IR. 2. Since Im only singleplayer I can set the tankers as I want. So I always set them to circular orbit. Because they behave in a very different way in circular orbit compared to race track, and as far as I know this is not described in the manual. In race track the tanker flyes its race track regardless of what Im doing, so if I connect when its flying straight, Im doomed when it starts turning, I cant make that transition without going all over the place. In circular orbit it flyes a tight (perhaps unrealistic) circle but when you approach it from behind and get close it relaxes its turn to about a 15 degree bank turn with a much bigger radius and stays that way until Im done refuelling. Took some practice but once I got used to refuelling in the turn its no problems because I dont have to worry about the tanker changing its turn all of a sudden. Perhaps this is cheating a bit but Im ok with that in that case. Skickat från min D5503 via Tapatalk

Could it be something related to the new historic mode in the ME? Skickat från min D5503 via Tapatalk

Exactly what I was thinking. Skickat från min D5503 via Tapatalk

Having SAR helo and tankers fly along and orbit above the carrier is a fundamental thing that everyone must be having problems to set up right now. It would be nice to get a comment from ED regarding what is planned for this. Or if anything is planned at all, I feel that it would be bizzare if these features would not be coming but that does not mean ED shares that opinion perhaps. As far as I know this has never been talked about with regards of features for the Supercarrier.

Is it not so that it i a bug so it only works if you cold start the aircraft in the mission or something like that? I think there are other threads about it Skickat från min D5503 via Tapatalk

Perhaps you have historic mode enabled Skickat från min D5503 via Tapatalk

Ok thank you, I will try that! Skickat från min D5503 via Tapatalk

Ok, i guess I would need Combined Arms for that. Is it possible to do a skin or something with the sterngate closed by default? Im using the Oak just to have it sail along the Tarawa when I fly the Harrier and not control the boat itself if you understand. Just as a AI asset, i dont need to open the sterngate. Skickat från min D5503 via Tapatalk

Very good mod! Im waiting patiently for the San Antonio also! However, forgive me if Im stupid but I cant get the sterngate to close. Its always open, even when the ship is moving. I see in screenshots that others have it closed so I guess I must be missing something? With or without LCAC does not make any difference.

Not at the moment im afraid, there are other threads about this, you must set up the helo so it matches the carriers speed exactly to get it to follow correctly and that is pretty complicated. The frustrating thing is that all that is missing to get this to work as it should is a follow task that makes the helo follow the carrier at a specific distance, there is such a task to make the helo follow ground units but not sea units. Seems like a easy thing to fix. Skickat från min D5503 via Tapatalk

I think the most annoying thing about the current AWACS is that you get directions to tanker and home base in bullseye format instead of just "fly heading XX for XX". Skickat från min D5503 via Tapatalk

Nice! Is the LCAC also included or is that some other mod? Skickat från min D5503 via Tapatalk

True, I have it set up in the same way in a mission I have where I take of and just return to land just to train on that. But in 2 hours the helo would have overtaken the carrier. And in about 2,5 it would run out of fuel and returned to the carrier to land so there would be no helo there at all. That was why I was asking how long he ran the mission without any problems. Skickat från min D5503 via Tapatalk

How many hours do you run the mission after that to test that there are no problems with the helo overtaking the carrier? Skickat från min D5503 via Tapatalk

I tought this idéa would be more popular than this, since this must be something that occurs for many people even with the default charts that come with DCS. Are you others using some work-around that Im not aware of ?

Im absolutly downloading this, hopfully he does a LPD next also so we can make a proper group for the Tarawa! Skickat från min D5503 via Tapatalk

Perhaps I should add that obviously I know that I could take at least my own images and change the contrast in a image editor software but its a huge job when you have a lot of pages for checklists and so on so its not possible to do it if you also want to be able to fly a little. A toggle for night-mode in DCS would be much appreciated.

Since I got VR the DCS Kneeboard has become vital to me since I cant see my beloved papers anymore. On Night flights though its not so nice for my eyes to look at the kneeboard since its so bright compared to the rest. My eyes need to adjust from night to extremly bright and back again just to glance at a approach chart for example. It would be great if there was a keyboard input for "Toggle Kneeboard Night-mode" resulting in the images in the kneeboard beeing shown in a reduced brightness mode. Like a filter on it that perhaps also is a little green simulating the shine from a NVG-compatible finger-light. Like this one https://www.flitelite.com/collections/nvis-finger-lights/products/nvis-finger-light-fg-ng-or-fg-n Im no modder but would it be possible to create such a filter as a mod if ED dont? I would not mind to use OVMG to turn i on and off, If I would just get it I would be happy Skickat från min D5503 via Tapatalk
