The orbit instruction (advanced waypoint options) can be ended (stop condition) with a flag. If the AWACS flight plan has an end point i.e. a landing waypoint, it will stop the orbit and continue en-route. I'm not sure if it can be done without any waypoints - is there a reason you can't have a landing waypoint after their station keeping waypoint?

I'm with @Furiz here. Previously an update to the roadmap meant some genuine news or an announcement, and was met with some excitement. Now it is just another content creator sharing their videos of what we already know. If I want to follow a YouTuber, I will follow them through that platform. The roadmap thread should not be the place for free advertising of their channels. We need to fix the SNR on that thread and move back to news.

Or trim.

This is something which has been requested before. The general consensus is that while it would be nice to have, the mechanics of accurately simulating even an inert shape would require knowledge of how that device integrates with the aircraft systems, SMS pages, configs, switchology, PALs, procedures etc, all of which are still very classified. We would end up with a 'best guess', which kind of goes against the authenticity for which DCS strives. I think the best we can hope for is a re-skin of a Mk84 created as a user mod.

I should have been clearer, I believe it limits G onset, rather than maximum G. Happy to be corrected though.

It does limit the G, and roll rate (or at least it used to). The warning isn't implemented yet.

Happy to help. I'm sure there are better ways for those ME scripting wizards but for a simpleton like myself it works well enough.

For SAMs, under ADVANCED WAYPOINT OPTIONS > SET OPTION > INTERCEPTION RANGE > set anywhere between 0-100% of max Aircraft SET OPTION > AA MISSILE ATTACK RANGES > set to halfway max range to prevent long range shots, or NEZ only also, SET OPTION > RADAR USING > Never use, or REACTION TO THREAT > No reaction, to simulate a lack of SA. These are all crude workarounds, but can help to hobble an enemy response, in the same way an EW attack might.

You can reduce intercept ranges for SAMs and weapon DLZs for aircraft. That could possibly be adapted to achieve some sort of simulated jamming. Perhaps even randomly activating and deactivating 'ghost' aircraft groups to draw away defenders. EW in general is sadly (but understandably given its complex and mostly classified nature) underrepresented in DCS.

No reason you couldn't use ROCAF skins within CTF Blue faction, political considerations aside.

I have to say, this was one of my first thoughts too - they have done a fantastic job with this, in what seemed to be a very short development time. I wonder what region is next on their list? Certainly large cities don't seem to be a problem any more. How about Taiwan?

I was struggling at first but then set the draw distance down to medium and am getting very good results now. Obviously everyone has their own take on the whole quality/performance compromise, but as a VR flyer with a laptop 3080 I think the performance is as good as any other map, and still better than the Marianas. Tested so far with the Gazelle, Mi-8 and Viper.

Yeah... already bought it now (inevitable really ). First impressions are it looks great. Performance is varied, depending on where on the map, with densely built-up areas performing worst (no surprise). I've often found that maps receive a little VR optimisation after release and improve. I've had less than an hour on it so far though, but Sinai has pushed SoH further down the pecking order, putting it in serious danger of an uninstall.

^^^ Good to know. Just finished the download so might give the Gazelle a quick fly over lunch.

Anyone have any comments on the content of the patch, rather than the installation debacle? Looking forward to the Gazelle, still undecided on Sinai. It looks great, however, perhaps superficially similar to the Syria map, but with fewer Western/NATO basing options. Also waiting to hear about VR performance before I hit the 'buy' button.

I'm eager to give this a try. I always liked the Gazelle, despite it's quirks. This should bring it up to the expected standards though, and bodes well for the future Kiowa.

I'd echo the above comments about the mission editor. It really isn't difficult to create a simple, single-aircraft, target practice mission, which will allow you to get those reps in. Which map(s) do you fly? I can knock a quick mission up for you if you like, with a mix of ground and air targets, and options for ground or air starts? But really, it doesn't take much effort to create basic missions. Liberation is great, but not that user friendly for an inexperienced player IMHO.

A couple of boxes (with lids) to house the Leo Bodnar BU0836X and BBI32 USB interface boards. The legs allow bolting to MonsterTech (or similar) Al profile. Viper Panic Dispense to fit Cougar Throttle. For a standard 30mm panel cut out mushroom button. Also has platforms for the ELEC SYS and MANUAL PITCH panels if required. Added a small bracket for an eject handle which fits the Virpil CM2 or standard 80mm Al profile (40mm centres). BBI32 Enclosure.stl BU0836X Enclosure.stlPanic Dispense Bracket.stl Eject Bracket.stl

This is the ideal solution (and add in water swell, chop and current effects for good measure).

^^^ Sounds about right. At close ranges the off-bore angle increases rapidly, and if you are heads-down on the MFD getting the lock then it is easy to be out of limits when you rifle the missile.

If you are fluent in English then you should know it is proofreading, not proof reading.

I stand corrected, though in my defence, I rarely fly the MiG-21 and I think only tried the nuke once a long while back.

There are some amazing 3D print resources which creators have kindly shared in this sub-forum, but most are within their own build threads. I think it would be really helpful if we maybe had a central resource with all the publicly available files in one place.

I know, but with no special visuals, persistent cloud, ground deformation, etc. It's basically just a big bomb, and ED have stated that there will be no 'proper' nuclear weapons developed for a number of reasons. I know this wish list request is unlikely given the TOP SECRET classification of nuclear procedures, and as such any delivery practice would be limited to what we would normally fly with other 'dumb' weapons, but still worth an ask IMHO.
