  1. On the Heatblur website it shows Viggen price slashed to 47.99. When I put it in the cart, showed up 59.99. I'm a sucker for sales. Is this a mistake?
  2. Thanks for the info. I did find it odd that after firing a missile, the pilot would have to physically turn the selector to the next pylon. I chalked it up to Russian engineering. Interesting points about the flight model as well. Obviously I've never flown a MiG21, so its hard to know what isn't modeled correctly. I hope these issues are addressed, would make the MiG21 a lot more effective in combat.
  3. Could you elaborate a little more on some of those issues? Specifically the flight model and weapons selector? What about them needs to be corrected?
  4. Mig21 is a great module, i havent noticed any issues in 1.5 or 2.0. I will caution you though, the module itself is extremely well done, but because of this, you really get a feel for how awful the MiG21 is. Systems randomly fail, the engine is very tempermental, sometimes the radar doesnt work, landing slightly rough will break stuff, etc. The plane is touted as the AK47 of planes, but it is not very reliable, and overly complicated. You really have to know what you are doing to get the most out of it, so expect to spend quite some time learning. Its not like the F5 where you can basically just jump in and go. It's fun to fly, but expect there to be problems with the plane, not the module. Aside from its quirks and complexity, the module feels great flying. One of the best cockpit modeling ive seen, especially the lighting. I got it in the fatherland sale and have really enjoyed it.
  5. The Gunny's Take on Normandy Great job on the Normandy Map, I enjoyed the live stream. The following is my own personal opinion, which by most standards, is absolutely worthless. Here's my 13 cents on it: Looks great, but I wont be buying it until its bundled with a WW2 aircraft. The map doesn't look like it would be much fun in a modern aircraft, its relatively flat, no paved runways, etc. Seeing as I don't own any WW2 aircraft yet, it only makes since to wait for the bundle. I did the same with NTTR. You can usually end up getting a module and the map for about $60, which ends up being about 50% off. Here's my main issue stopping me from buying it now: What is really that much different about it than the Caucasus map? I mean fighting ww2 aircraft over the coast of the black sea doesn't really look that much different, honestly it looks like more fun because of the terrain elevation differences (my opinion). I can see the appeal of fighting over a period specific map, but then again, that makes it pretty worthless for anything but ww2 planes. Like I said this is just my opinion, I know many people have backed this map for several years. I just don't see the appeal without some other incentive, like a P-51D/Normandy bundle. I might pick up the standalone units pack, would be fun to have 20-30 B17's bomb vegas.
  6. Sorry I didn't realize you had access to the stats on how many machines it affected. If you jump online, there's plenty of players in NTTR servers. I haven't noticed a drop off. Like I said it was just a guess.
  7. I've had zero issues with it, I've a got a fairly new system. Windows 10 sky lake etc. the issues are affecting a small number of systems and nobody knows why. Even ED said they couldn't recreate the problems, but they don't deny they exist for certain people. I'm guessing it's affecting people with older versions of windows etc. just a guess though
  8. Noticed the animation seems to be missing or messed for canopy glass on ejecting. It just vanishes. Is this a known issue or a new bug? In 2.0.
  9. Well boys, looks like its time to delete DCS World. An in-progress module is not up to random dudes idea of what an F14 Hud refresh rate should be.
  10. so this has always been a problem? I've only had DCS for about a year. Kind of defeats the purpose of even saving a track if it doesn't work though?
  11. Anyone notice Mig21bis acting wierdly in 2.0 on track views? I just flew a quick mission and landed, however, when viewing the track, the plane crashes into the ground near the runway. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this.
  12. question here. Is there any carry over from ED's A-10C LITENING pod, or are you left creating your own version? I always wondered how much of ED's systems was shared between the modules considering how many of them shared the same NATO technology.
  13. When can we pre purchase? Or can I just mail you cash now? This module will make my childhood dreams come true. I'll pay extra to pre pre pre alpha test.
  14. Here's a good video on the Harrier hover capabilities.
  15. The harrier was also one of my favorites in US Navy Fighters back in the DOS days.
  16. Is that weapon selector page displayed on the pilot helmet? Or is that just because it's being worked on? As a former Marine, the harrier will be a day one pre purchase for me.
  17. AWESOME!!!! Two Christmasses!!!!!!!!!
  18. It will be an in person transaction, so I hope I could identify any major damage, but it sounds like even if the electronics are borked I could replace them and still have a pretty decent deal. I'll post up if I get it.
  19. its on a craigslist posting in dallas. full set up.
  20. Just wanted to throw this in, I got on NTTR multiplayer last night and flew the F5 without problem. I'm running windows 10 64 bit.
  21. So assuming it's broken, for $100, is it still worth it? The question is assuming worst case, how much would it cost to refurbish it?
  22. A guy is selling a TM Warthog for $100. He says it works, but if for some reason it doesn't, is it still worth $100 and then just buy repair pieces? What are your thoughts?
  23. I just don't understand how the MiG21 is somehow easier to operate? I am terrible at the game, but I have never had an issue flaming out an engine or releasing ordinance in the F5. Fire up free flight mission on the MiG21 and it will stall the engine in about 5 seconds without touching the controls. Maybe it's just me, but it seems like it's almost unflyable without simple engine management turned on.
  24. Does simple radio have a easy feature where you can just PTT and have your voice sound it's coming in over the air? Currently using discord for voip and it's a little off putting.
  25. Title says it all. What is the best radio mod for DCS? Looking for something that is similar to Task Force Radio for ARMA 3. Any comparables? Gunny
