I feel the opposite, and wish they were actually a bit faster.

I did manage to get this to work on the essex carrier today. For whatever ungodly reason it didn't ever before I can't say. - Mission editor carrier frequency set to 250. - #1 ARC-5 and ARR-2 presets for the corsair both set to 250. - C-38 REC "C" to ON - CW/VOICE on C-38 to VOICE - C-38 sensitivity up to max. - Wait a few minutes and do not touch anything else. It appears to transmit "N-A-N," but does give the proper directional signal as I orbit the carrier. Now that I see how it works, it's mighty cool.

Thanks fellas! If I had hair I'da been pulling it out.

Gear down first.

Following that tutorial to a T still doesn't work for me. The only way I receive ANY transmission is with the B switch on the C-38 to ON, the dial on the C-26 at or around 190, and the CW-Voice switch on the C-26 set to VOICE. And by placing air starts all around, I figured out that this signal comes from Agana, on guam.

That's worth a try. Great idea man. Where did you get the info about the 190khz and the Essex?

Thanks, I tried all different types of frequencies. I can't make it work no way no how.

I went through the guide with the navigation system (preset channels) and it appears not to be working. Wondering if anyone else can confirm or am I messed up here.

That's something I also do to self-limit for more challenge. Try and stay OUT of burner while the plane whose control zone I'm in has to stay IN it. Another way is to keep the bags on. The tomcat is just so excellent at this.

I would define it as a turning fight with similar weapons. Either a gun only fight, or one with guns and fox 2's. Those are two different types of dogfights to me. And yes, they are all kind of easy to beat, which is why I'm fighting guns only against the hornet equipped with the 9X. I have no problem with the viper. The Hornet is a way better opponent for this for me. ETA - gonna try the viper with 9x's and see how it goes.

Tried: Su-27, F-16, F-14B, F-15C, Mig-29, and several others. For a fox-2 fight, I'm not finding anything as challenging as the F/A-18, equipped with the AIM-9x. The Su-27 is a close second IMHO. If anyone has an opponent better than that, please LMK.

For me it sorted itself out after some time. Whatever it was seems to have been fixed perhaps.

Don't restart it or it will be even slower still. Ask me how I know.

This is really sharp. Nice work.

Could be done with drop downs individually to display metric or imperial for each of altitude, distance, speed.

To many people, it clearly is. That's exactly why this aircraft is coming to DCS.

The presence of the same missile on all those jets definitely doesn't make them equal at all in BVR. There's quite a bit more to it than that. And the F-15C brings all those extra things that make it better at this than the others.

No sir, it's intended to be only air to air. They have been clear about that.

But then what about it's relationship to the other more contemporary maps? Syria, Iraq, PG, Kola..... End of the day, they have to pick a horse and ride it.

I do have a newer version of this to publish that addresses that. The spawned units will all have an "expiration time." After that time passes they'll self-delete. There will be an update this year for sure.

Baghdad is hands down the best modeled city in DCS. Really amazing level of detail and unique buildings.

Which of these files has ths USSR subs in it? Kursk, Red October? I can't seemt to find the right file to download. Thanks.

Really solid improvements. Especially from a rotary wing perspective. You brought this map from applause to a standing ovation.

Great thread - please keep it up!

BSD now has both CH-47F "GRIZZLY" platoons listed as open.
