Hello all, I've just started posting some videos on youtube which I have recorded while playing with the many fine DCS World modules and wanted to draw your attention to it. https://www.youtube.com/user/deephack I'm very new to this type of thing but if you are interested in instructional videos and howto items then check me out! Also some people say that I sound like Scott Manley of Kerbal Space Program fame.

Looking at those cockpit shots it always strikes me how no two Black Sharks have the same cockpit layout. Must be a pain transitioning from one to the other.

Sounds to me like you want cluster bombs...

I imagine that is correct modelling as the switch I believe is to control which radio is connected to your mike for transmitting. You should hear all your radios at once.

Tracers being fired from a GAU8 would probably look like lightning.

They are HEI not purely incendiary so they go bang then fizz ;-) When firing combat mix you shouldn't see anything, you only get tracers with the training rounds.

@johnv2pt0 You are one smart chappie. +REP

I agree this will totally rock. ED you are so full of win!!

Yes as you will be superimposing the CCIP dot on a more accurately positioned SPI on release.

I don't have any problem hitting targets with the Mk82 in CCRP mode even without 5 mil. Are you lasing the target before release? A short tap on the nose wheel steering key is all that is needed to get accurate range information. Otherwise the computer calculates release based on terrain information and if your slant angle is quite low this will produce a large error. If you don't understand any of this then I suggest you watch Excessive Headspaces excellent video

IRL I've only ever seen scratches on private light aircraft canopies. Not too sure about airliners but certainly not on anything military.

Like Bengo said there is already TARS. Have you guys tried it? It's the only way to fly online in my opinion. Check it out here:- http://www.excessiveheadspace.com/tars/

I'm quite surprised at the level of confusion here. I think that perhaps too many people have been watching gun cam videos on youtube where the point of view is fixed. Anyone having seen a HUD in real life would realise that the way ED have modelled it is absolutely perfect and the first time bar Black Shark that this has been represented correctly in a desktop simulation.

Easy to see with the NVGs.

APU winding up and then down again signifies that there is no fuel supply. Check fore and aft pumps are running and then open the APU fuel valve.

If I had to guess I'd say that at idle the engine isn't providing enough energy to run the hydraulic pump hard enough to counteract the hydraulic load of the brakes in use.

The following video neatly summarises my feeling on the release of the beta PS. I love everyone who works for ED, is related to someone who works for ED or has ever heard of ED.

I would second these wishlist items. The idea of persistent airframe condition is very exciting.

I would vote for the Tornado IDS although I doubt that ED are able to pay too much attention to this poll. Whatever they are able to get docs and permission for I will buy as at this level of detail I'll fly anything.

It's never happened to me yet and I regularly re-arm and re-fuel so I can smash some more targets. I wonder if all these people who post about burnt out lasers are misusing it in some way.

Did you have both engine governors turned on?

This modeller certainly knows how to make the hog pretty. Having also seen the cockpit renders posted a little while back I can see this is going to totally rock. At last I can retire my dog eared copy of A10 Cuba! :-D

I'll go poke about and see if I can find any manuals and information in the public domain. I think it's highly unlikely though, the RAF have always been very paranoid about even minor operational details emerging about their aircraft.
