I’ve only got two wish list items right now: one “easy” and one “hard” (I think!) 1.)Easy: Add a burst of light to flak bursts, particularly the WW2 guns, that can be seen in night missions. Just enough to illuminate a small radius so the cockpit and/or clouds are affected. There was a mod for the old IL2 game that did that and it significantly added a nice touch of terror to night missions as the flak cast light and shadows around the cockpit with a strobe light kind of look. Scary stuff! As it is right now the flak burst animations have a white center but no actual light is produced. 2.) Hard(er): Without getting into another dumb debate about nukes, how about just accepting the fact that nukes are already in the game and just adding a little eye candy for them? Personally I dont care how realistic it is size wise…a scaled down white flash and resulting mushroom would be plenty for me. Keep the existing damage radius so the concerns about melting CPUs isnt an issue. Or make the explosion an “object” as opposed to a particle effect that can be loaded and triggered in ME. Maybe call it “Big Ass Explosion” in case “nuke” is too controversial! Sheesh…. Maybe something for the MOAB too. Remember: It’s only a game! Nobody actually gets blown up! I’ve never understood the reluctance to support a weapon that was included in a pricey module! I’d love a nice, scaled down boom for the buck. Maybe a mod? DCS rocks!!

I can't seem to find the flak guns in the new assets pack/Normandy map package! Saw the trailer for them but I'll be damned if I see em'!

You're not doing anything wrong. This feature has been broken since last fall.

Ive heard a rumor that the promised sniper team has been cancelled.

It has been broken for at least two of the last updates.

1.) The first issue I've noticed is in my Mirage, gbu-12's won't release when running a jtac mission. Everything is the same as before the upgrade and everything worked perfectly before. The gbu's do release when using the hud in the normal method to lock a ground target but wont after going thru the full jtac routine. I can't seem to track down if something has been added to this process. All other weapons normal. 2.) Ground troops wont embark onto either my huey or mi8 as they did without fail before. I hit the descent command and they don't give me the usual "roger" and climb on. They stare at me thru the cockpit glass and its rather disconcerting! Anyone else noticing these bugs? I noticed my jtac gbu issues happening after the last upgrade and I've searched for answers but found nothing. I apologize if I overlooked it somewhere. The weird thing is its happening in my DCS Nevada map after that last upgrade as well. Was there an upgrade to the Mirage that I somehow missed that could be causing this? Is there an extra procedure to the whole litany of things ya gotta do before a jtac release? Thanks! I'm happy to see mouse control restored to huey gunners with track IR altho it takes some fiddling with the rshift T command to get the proper gunner view.
