That second video sure isn’t anywhere near 30 to 40 knots of x-wind. See the car in the foreground with the open door? Really doubt in a x-wind that door would still be open. No grass blowing hard, trees in distance no real bending . . . .

Temp? Pressure? Both will sap your thrust available. Any wind?

Fly it’s strengths to negate its weaknesses. Capitalise upon your opponents weaknesses. A well flown -18 can wipe the floor with a poorly flown supposedly superior airframe. RW? You would know when (if!) you get to the merge just who you are fighting within the first turn, then you know what you can do versus what you can’t. BVR? Well it will be a little handicapped compared to say a -14 with its long reach, but moxie - tactics - and not being a lone wolf, will pay dividends. Again, fly its strengths.

They gave you a long, hard look I bet . . . .

The F-16 (for myself anyway) is one aircraft that exhibits good persistence, two bags being good for a very long run. You really don’t need to be firewalling the throttle all the time chap. As for checking tank contents, look for this panel down by the HSI . . . you can turn the selector and select a tank group, and look at the fuel gauge on the right for the readout on the needle.

The last four words of subs reply above, perfectly describe him . . . .

Dear developers . . .

Looks like a SA page, from the II+ Harrier perhaps, not the version we have here?

Couple pics of reflectors -

Downloaded the file on the front page to my downloads folder, now cant open downloads folder as it says "working on it" and never gets any further. Longest I've waited is 45 minutes before Ctrl-Alt-Delete to get out of it. Before downloading the file i never had an issue - now i don't know how to bin or delete it as i cannot open the folder in order to delete it! Anyone else?

Thanks chap. Bit different from my time!

Seems a little counter intuitive? If wing/tail are set to off, they shouldn't be on.

I had created a flight (SP) and set Master NORM, Anti colliders on, navs OFF, Wing Tail and Fuse OFF, yet the Form lights brightness dial will alter the brightness of the Nav lights - yet they are supposed to be off. Picture shows lighting selected - the dial at lower left is the possible issue?

What . . . The . . . . Actual hell was the point of this???

Probably a very good reason as to why you cannot find out specific details about certain systems if you think . . . . .

The original choice has been incarcerated. . . . . Nobody can ask her any questions as the outcome of grilling her may just be too good . . . .

Some will work, some may not for reasons I’m not party to. My guess is those that don’t just require updating by the mod originators in order to work in the 2.7xxx environment. And it’s no conspiracy to get you to buy anything. Likely it’s just a mod that no longer works has been abandoned by the creator for any reason, like maybe moving on to other things, lack of interest, no longer part of DCS - moved to another sim? -, it could be any one of a thousand reasons. The FC3 types are seemingly aircraft to give you a flavour, and of the type that should be enjoyable to those who don’t need or want to go into great depth to fly, like some of the more recent high spec modules. There are mods that cater to the FC3 brigade, you just need to keep an eye on the mod section. There is no right or wrong in DCS, should you wish to really learn a certain type - they are there, and in most cases modelled really well, both in look and function, as well as employment and procedure. Should you require a lighter, more fun way in - there are those that provide here too. Make DCS what YOU want . . .

No, the pylon itself is correct, it’s the mount plate at the top of the pylon that should lay flat on the wing underside. We had same on F-4’s, that’s why the pylons were handed. *actually scratch that - there is a small gap there also. Oops.

The pylon should be vertical, it’s the mount plate that seems to be not connecting to the wing lower surface - it’s at 90* to the pylon.

?? Thats not what I meant.

I think it may actually be more interesting to model a short nose bird, then you as the pilot have to make a decision . . . take the gun - or take the centreline fuel. The outcomes would be interesting to hear from others. Stubbies all the way!
