I doubt an island is part of the mainland, no matter the political stance.

Fully completed...

I believe I have seen an ROC skin for the F-5 at least previously.

In my experience even those work a little sketchily for aircraft. Probably a reason why most of the missions that come with CA have the air part on F10-radio triggers.

I agree that these things could use some love. It would be positively awesome to have a bit more functionality in regards of troop and cargo transport. The flaw in the plan, of course, is that I'm one who bought the relevant helicopters already. But still, with an improved system for cargo and passengers in place, I would absolutely buy a transport plane. Or a cargo helicopter. And anyways, I believe you are right in that there are quite a few people who would be more interested in these modules if certain things just worked better.

The thing about 'damaged' is that aircraft hardly ever get completely destroyed instantly by cannon fire. Your hits damage them, that is quite right. What actually destroys them - as far as DCS 'rules' are concerned - is either their inevitable impact on the ground or the pilot ejecting. That is also the reason why already landed non-static aircraft are rather hard to destroy in strafing runs.

Why are you starting two threads right next to each other with the same 'problem'? Content-wise I think setting the fuel reserves on the airfields to zero is way more effort than simply setting the airfields you intent to use to the proper coalition, but that's just me.

As far as I can tell the implementation in DCS is rather simple. Basically, if IFF and Mode 4 is on, you will turn up as friendly, if it isn't you'll be ambiguous; entering of codes is purely cosmetic and doesn't really change the result.

Isn't that a general DCS problem, though? Little things that just pile up because apparently nobody gets around to looking into them until there are enough of them to break something major? Feels like a rather common thing. Back on topic, I sure love the option to just try things, still. The only problem is that I can't get them all for good, I bet. It would all be a lot easier if there was a clear winner (at least per category), but it keeps being tricky.

Definitely would be a great improvement. Also, why are the stars all green?

You are not missing anything. That is more or less what it is supposed to do and I'm rather sure it used to do so in older versions, but nowadays it vectors to the runway itself.

Now I have to imagine a panel of Navy officers sitting together and agreeing that the official term of the flight behaviour is stupid. :lol:

If I'm not mistaken the spoken language isn't a matter of coalition but a matter of country selected for a specific unit. Without having tried that myself, could it work to set that to, say, USAF Aggressors and be all-English that way?

Nice work. The only question is: which version of 'Memphis Belle' does everyone prefer?

I don't think one can decide on any blame about this so easily. At least in my opinion too much depends on the state of the world, as in what kind of server and what kind of mission were they running at? We can establish, though, that in DCS there is no known downside to enabling IFF and one should generally do so.

So far I've tried the Yak-52, the C-101, the F-16 and I'm likely to try the L-39, the CEII, the F-5 and the Gazelle. Maybe that MiG-19 as well. Decisions decisions.

Oh, please, like it hasn't been that by page four already. At this point it's just 'random aircraft' and weird debates on why somebody else's pick isn't as awesome as one self's. Well, and maybe the 'you know what, nobody ever thought of a Su-27 yet!' every other page.

I think the decisive factor isn't the door, although that would make a lot of sense, but whether or not the engines are running.

If there was a decision to make a helicopter module available for free, this would probably be a decent choice. But as Svsmokey said, the flight dynamics are as tricky as for any other helicopter and it would take quite a bit of work. Also, I'm afraid this whole 'people are going to buy other helicopters after trying this' thought sadly fails on account of the rather limited range of helicopter modules available in the DCS currently.

New clouds and weather system is ostensibly in the making.

Just because this thread is here... I just gave her a first spin myself. Not entirely sold in, yet, I'm afraid, but one thing I can say is that I am absolutely impressed with the in-cockpit lighting of the C-101. I don't know why, but all the lamps, annunciators and 8-elements just look absolutely great. In any case thank you for the chance to try it out.

Just because I feel like it, I'm going to say Dassault Super Étendard.

Some modules have this kind of map marker read functionality (Viggen, AV8, probably one or two others, too), but at least in my experience in the Harrier, I prefer not to use it. Sure, less dealing with numbers, but feels cumbersome otherwise. Just my opinion.

Wait and see, I guess. You never know, a lot of things might be checked off rather quickly if a certain problem gets solved. But then, it's a plan. We'll see if it works out or not.

There has been a nice mod for that around. But yes, it would be nice. It has also been suggested before but it looks like getting it done is just too much work to then give it away for free.
