You can tick a box in the "special" tab to have it on your hud. However, I reckon IRL this is only a feature of the Mirage2000-5.

I definitely agree with your message. And they do accept constructive criticism, which is great.

Showing some love IS important ! ED is doing a great job. They are constantly in touch with us, their community, seeking to improve their products and provide us the best simulation possible. Thank you Eagle Dynamics ! YOU make our dreams come true! :thumbup:

Yeah I would be great to benefit from the Supercarrier features with the Tarawa ! I look forward to it

I look forward for the exact location as well ! Is Alexandretta in the North included ? Is Amann or Tel-Aviv in the South included ? From the screenshots it looks like it takes place in modern days Syria (at least before the destruction of Palmyra by ISIS I hope).

Hello I only read the first post, not the full discussion. I juste wanted to say that I find it great as it is. I certainly do not want to pay a monthly price to have access to all modules; it does not correspond to the use I make of DCS. I just give my opinion so that you can count it :). Stay safe .

I bought the AV-8B and Supercarrier, although I don't own the F-14 nor the F-18 yet. I am waiting for the Tomcat to be on sale now.

I prefer buying a laptop as i will indeed need it for portability. I was thinking of the Gigabyte Saber 15 (about 1300€): Intel Core i7-7700HQ Quad Core 2.8 GHz 16 Go DDR4 SSD 256 Go HDD 1 To Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 It seems to be the best i can find for this prices. Also the laptops from HP (Omen) seem good, but for an equivlent build i would have to pay an higher price.

Alright I thank you all ! :) I will go for 256GB then !

Hello ! I consider buying a new laptop since my current one barely reaches the minimum requirement for DCS. I want a decent laptop for the upcoming DCS 2.5. :) I would like to install DCS on a SSD drive, but i need to be sure that this drive will be big enough. I have the NTTR map, and plan to buy the Strait of Hormuz map. Do you think that a 128GB SSD drive is big enough for DCS 2.5 + WINDOWS10 ? (DCS 2.5 with Caucasus, NTTR and Strait of Hormuz). Thanks all for your advice ! Happy flying !

Is it still possible now to buy a older module (like the Gazelle) on steam an activate in here ?

Alright. I hope it get fixed soon enough !

Thats nice ! :thumbup:

In fact I did learn on the L-39? It was a great think to be familiarized with clickable cockpits with an easy one, not full of screens and buttons everywhere. After mastering the L-39, was able to switch to the Mirage2000 or MiG-21 without any problem. My gf is also currently learning how to pilot with the L-39, and she finds it very very funny, an simple. She can have fun with smoke pods, and take many screenshot, as the L-39 is a rather beautiful aircraft. It has nothing to do about "the manly A-10C. It is just that the A-10 cockpit looks a lot more scary than the L-39 in my opinion; I mean that it makes you feel like "if you want to be a good pilot, you will have to master every single button of that cockpit". One may have the same feeling about the L-39, the difference is that there are way less buttons and switches in the L-39. And yes the A-10 is easy to fly, as is the L-39 !

I agree 1000% on what you said. Ask yourself: would you learn how to drive in a brand new 4x4 which trigger sounds when you are too close from the car in front of you, turns lights on when it's dark, has a back camera to help you park your car etc... or a simple small car ? Between the A-10, and the L-39, it really this kind of deal. Wth the L-39 you can better feel that you are flying, not managing it. + with the L-39 you can do acrobatics, which is nice.

I tried to see if the problem came from SimpleRadio (as I already had some problems related to it, and I only use it and Tacview aside the original game). So I disabled every SRS file in the User/SaveGames/DCS/Scripts, but the problem still occurs, which make me think the problem is not related to SimpleRadio.

Thanks a lot everyone for sharing your experience :) You give me a lot of things to take into account before making any final decision, and I really appreciate it ! :)

Thanks a lot for your help Smil ! I really don't see what may cause this issue. It seems I will have to go along with this.

Sounds good ! Thanks :)

Yes Iam new (appart from IL2). I did not want to buy the Mustang because I already fly the TF-51, but I get your points and will consider it :) Thanks a lot for the advice guys !

Hi ! I would like to buy a warbird along with the Normandy map, but I really can't make a decision. I hesitate between the Fw 190, the Bf 109, and the Spitfire, which one would you advise me to buy and why ? Firstly I need to know something: is it possible to aim with German warbirds without a trackIR; is the gunsight visible from the centered cockpit view ? If not, asI don't use a trackIR, I would buy the Spitfire. I really like the Spitfire because it's a beautiful aircraft, ut I really like the energy combat style of German warbirds. If I would have to choose a German fighter, would you advise me the 109 et the 190, and why ? Thank you in advance :)

Alright ! Thanks a lot for telling me this ! So here is my problem: I can't see the messages, why is that so ? what could possibly be the origin of that problem ? (It is the reason why I originally posted this thread inside the bug section but it was moved here). I tried a clean up and a repair of my game, I looked into my settings but I don't see anything that could disable those messages. In fact I really don't see where this problem could come from, which makes me think it is a bug. Thanks a lot again for your help Sunstag, I really appreciate. I wish this thread could be moved again to the "released version bug & problem" section, which seems more appropriate.

Of course ! I think you did not understand my problem (I may not have been absolutely clear too). What I don't see are the messages that should appear when you create a certain trigger. For example you can send a "message to a coalition" "message to all" "message to a country", by setting a trigger. In my missions, whenever I do this, the message does not appear after the trigger is triggered. However, I know that the triggers work, because if I set the trigger to play a message plus to do anything else, everything is done, except I can't see the message. Take a look at the mission I attached in the first post for example, and tell me if anything happens by pressing each F10 radio menu. In my case I see nothing.

Hi, Whenever I trigger a message to show up under certain conditions with the Mission Editor, I can't see it when playing the mission. I can't also see those messages anymore on missions I built previously, that worked perfectly until now. Here is a simple mission that illustrates my problem: I trigger 4 messages to show up by radio menu, but for all of them I am not able to see them. Thanks in advance for any help. Regards, messages test.miz

Seeing the picture confirms that despite the datas, the MiG21 looks bigger because of its delta wing, and as pointed out, the wing area of the MiG is bigger than the one of the Tiger, which is why the MiG looks bigger. This is relevant because most of the time you spot and identify an aircraft thanks to the size of its wings. So arguing about numbers is useless. Anyway as I said earlier, it is also about the liverie of the plane. The liverie of the Tiger makes it very difficult to spot, unlike the dark green one of the MiG. Also, the MiG has a huge blind spot on his 6. You can come behind it a little bit lower, and you MiG pilot has absolutely no mean to know you are here. This + the RWR are the great advantages of the Tiger against the MiG21.
