[Petrovich as a Pilot]

Not criticizing in any way, everybody is allowed to do it how he prefers, just being curious:

How can you guys enjoy this way of "flying" a helo?

So often I see them on MP servers, guys who's only way to do it seems to be to set max power and lift the helo up as quickly as possible to then hopefully manage to somehow transition into a forward flight that stabilizes the initial erratic wobbling. I guess when they then zoom across the map (leaving the power at max all the time of course) they have this voice in their head whispering "you are flying a helicopter, you did it!" with a satisfying grin and after some minutes of enjoyment, when boredom sets in, there is always this ultimate attempt to end the flight with some sort of landing. There is this impatient experiment of boolean alternation of the pitch lever. They get closer to the ground and as they do, speed reduces and the spin sets in. After some seconds of spinning and apprarently max/min power setting alternation each and every second, the helo eventually crashes into the ground and ends as the usual fireball. The voice in their heads then whispers "See, I knew this would happen, it's just pointless to do it any different than how I did the takeoff. Don't bother me with doing anything else than forward flight". Then they log off.

 

How dare you have fun in your own ways!!11!1! 

I could pose the same questions to those who fly for 2 hours in an orbit or just straight... also give them their time to learn!

[Has anyone noticed?]

The "Disperse under fire" thing has always been around, don't know if it has been enhanced or something.

Ridiculous that some try to reject realism in favour of their gameplay, rather than SIM play.  Same flawed thought process that restricts realistic weapon loads on servers in the name of “balanced” GAME play.  Plenty of shoot em ups out there for the Quakers.

 

Where's do you draw the line between realism and sandbox, how do you rate "unrealistic" things, why is having 4 AGM-88s bad but having russian (fictional) F-18s is okay, why do the greeks have a circa 2007 National Guard's F-16? Restricting everyone's gameplay just because you want to "enjoy the most realistic F16 possible" while playing in a sandbox is counterintuitive. In no way a person flying his F16 in SP will affect your experience anyway and if you feel it to be unrealistic just don't carry 4 AGM-88, don't carry 6 Mavericks and enjoy this game.

DCS is a sandbox and if someone wants to roleplay as an israeli F16 pilot carrying JDAMS on all pylons let him be even if this is a circa 2007 National Guard F-16, then let like-minded admins on MP servers make their own restrictions.

TLDR: DCS is a sandbox

So far I've said that if DCS is supposed to be realistic as possible, and this module is supposed to be specifically x, then it should be x, as realistic as possible.

Then if this is a 2007 National guard viper it shouldn't be available to any other country beside the US, it shouldn't be deployable in maps in which the national guard doesn't operate (or hasn't). 

[Excellent Viper patch ED! Can we talk about LAU-88 now?]

The most pressing issue out there is the fact that any player can fly the F-16, it's not realistic because look at real life applications to be pilots and then look at how many manage to graduate in fighters. It just doesn't fit and ruins my immersion seeing soo many fighter pilots (not realistic), more than limiting the weapons ED should limit the amount of F-16s to a more accurate degree, like out of 1000 DCS users only 10 manage to score enough to fly the F16 and thus can use it. 

Also what ruins my immersion is the fact I cannot use the pee-bag in flight, this is a very concering issue as I know many pilots who did IRL and it kinda bothers me not being able to, you can check with your SMEs and they can confirm this.

 

[Excellent Viper patch ED! Can we talk about LAU-88 now?]

In my opinion we should also limit the amount TGPs per server to a realistic amount, same with missiles, count how many AMRAAMS are being fired by N00Bs breaking my immerion by firing at over 40Nm, yeah it's annoying to see N00Bs carrying 6 Mavericks and 4 CBU97 it's literally unplayable and I cannot bear it. 

[Rotary Escorting armor not working]

Did you "trigger" the action? You need to either add a trigger and get it done or use a waypoint with "follow" as the action.

[A-10C II for Georgia]

Yes?

[[REPORTED EARLIER] GBU54 problems]

I think it's a bug, dropping while the laser is on will make the bomb drop far. What I do is to drop the bomb with the laser off and then after a couple of seconds I enable it.

[Multiple APKWs in a single pass.]

Yeah targeting moving targets is an hasse, here's my best attempt

[Multiple APKWs in a single pass.]

Actually you can fire 7/8 APKWs in a single pass and hit stationary targets.

Here's a video:

 

Please excuse the eventual errors either in grammar or mislabeling systems in the A-10C but I did this video kinda in a rush.

[Access to this product is only for beta testers at the moment]

Its out

[[FIXED] Radar TDC can move all the way up to HUD]

could you give more detailed operation?

in which master mode? which radar mode?

Had the same problem

[Mission/Campaign]

Yes, one murican f14B in georgia and I think they also said an iranian pulor with f14A in hormuz.

[F-14 Release Date Discussion Thread]

I think the Tomcat will be released on the 13th of March, ED just said the new big patch will happen that day.

[F-14 Release Date Discussion Thread]

What would be your opinion if the Tomcat's release was delayed because they are deciding which colour is more "historically accurate" for the belt?

[F-14 Release Date Discussion Thread]

Matt said it would come by the end of the month, Matt would 't lie to us, he' s a good guy, right?

 

Please, don't tell me he is playing with our feelings...

 

Pls Matt

[F-14 Release Date Discussion Thread]

At this point, saying they are very close to announcing a "release date" is ridiculous. Comments like that are just more irritating than anything else at this stage. I mean, we know it'll release on or before 3/20, which is 4 weeks away. At this point, nobody is waiting for a date. We are waiting for a release, period.

 

 

"We're really close to announcing a date on which we will announce a date that we are going to reveal the release date."

 

 

Ha! No thanks.

 

 

Just release the stupid thing already, or don't...but stop dicking around.

I'd rather delay it by one week or more, rather than having a buggy product, I don't care how long it takes, as long as its good.

To me the new link doesn't work, you sure it's right?

[No online modules on steam]

Hello, it appears that my online modules (FA-18C, M2000C, Nevada...) have disappeared from my game, steam says I have them installed but I can't use them on DCS 2.5.2.
