Take FC3, alot of different aircraft like attackers and fighters, one carrier module the su33 and a lot of content like missions and campaigns out of the box, with also a ton of user made missions and campaigns. You will also find a lot of mods like english cockpits for the russian birds and a lot of different liveries.

I learned to fly virtual airplanes with dawn patrol back in the days, which was a ww1 sim. Since then i only need like a couple of readouts from the plane like altitude, speed, direction heading and fuel. I don't need much more, for everybody who complains about the lack of seat of pants feel, get a realtus or jetseat. You could fly with the keyboard and be much more immersed than a guy without such a device and a fully build simpit.

One of the best april jokes i've ever experienced! Well done! And i can't stop laughing at those who try to threaten ed because the blackout feature looks like matrix code and is fully controllable like a normal blackout :D :D :D

Any reason we can't move non-carrier training to Nevada?
erniedaoage replied to r4y30n's topic in DCS: F-14A & B
+1 because i am not going to buy NTTR as i am not going to play red flag missions and campaigns. -
I think the whole discussion is about getting documentation, a real bird and a couple of pilots who operated that bird. I can't speak for the ka-50, but every other redfor module we have is a warsaw pact/export model. I think it's a huge task for any developer to get their hands on a real bird of a special version which fit into dcs, get all the documentation and probably an ex-pilot who operated the aircraft and is willing to contribute his experience into the module.

You have to wait some time till the ingame browser is finished with pinging all the servers. At that point the refresh icon should become clickable.

I would love a random fail on the walkman, if you hit fast forward it will eat the tape! Maybe with an extra commentary from jester when it happened.

You only need one install of dcs with which you can switch between stable and open beta via a command prompt or skatezillas fabulous tool.

[NO BUG] New AIM-9 tone is painful
erniedaoage replied to FearTheReaper's topic in Bugs and Problems
I have a different problem, i am hearing a lock sometimes even if i am not in the tomcat, nor in front of a computer and i still wanna pull the trigger. :( -
The tomcat has 3 PTT buttons, 1 for intercom and 2 for the 2 radios of the tomcat just bind them to a button and you are ready to go.

Wait....seriously!!!???!!! The HUD doesn't show airspeed????
erniedaoage replied to gmelinite's topic in DCS: F-14A & B
You wouldn't be able to race a dual clutch transmission with paddle shifters against a manual transmission car, since when you wanna race seriously you have to meet a set of regulations for the type of car and class you try to attend. It was between 1989 (first introduction of semi auto gearbox with paddle shifters in f1) and i think 1993 or 1994(where everybody was using paddle shifters and semi-/automatic gearboxes) the last time when paddle shifters raced against h-gated manual shifter cars. And as a soldier, as far as i know, you cannot choose your equipment and have to use what has been provided to you. ;) Racing is competition with an equal chance for everybody to win, within a given set of rules and marshals and race control watching every move of every driver during a race. War on the other side isn't a fair competition for every participant. ;) Make the best from what you've got. A motto for a lot of situations in life. :) -
Last open beta was a bit of a mess with loading times so its obvious why they haven't pushed it to stable. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/shop/modules/tomcat/ last sentence on the shop page written in a different color than the rest clearly states you need the open beta to use the product. This product can be downloaded and installed through the DCS World Module Manager. If you do not have DCS World installed, you can download the DCS World web-installer by clicking this link. You need to have the "Open Beta" version DCS World 2.5 installed on your PC for this product.

At least there is a difference between a bailed pilot and a dead pilot since eeks burning skies server can differ that state in the statistics. But why should you be forced to wait longer or be punished, because you did a emergency landing somewhere? Where is the difference between an emergency landing because you were shot and not able to make it back and a bailout? In both cases the pilot is still alive and able to jump into another aircraft.

Dear Heatblur, holy cow, what an amazing job!
erniedaoage replied to TheHighwayman's topic in Heatblur Simulations
Thank you Heatblur for this amazing module. I was flying the BVR instant action again and was able to get both migs this time but not without being hit with an r60 from one of them. Suddenly hydraulics were gone, no afterburner available and my wings stuck somewhere in the back around 50°. As i approach most of my sims with the dying while trying mentality, i really wanted to make it back to the carrier. After a couple of kms a really loud banging noise almost freaked me out from the back of the aircraft, i thought i gonna explode every minute but i made it back to the carrier the nearly 300kms. As i tried to get into a pattern when i saw the carrier, i noticed my flaps, gears and wings were stuck. Shit i totally forgot about the hydraulics damage, as i also didn't really read the manual i had to read all those warning and emergency signs in the cockpit at 1200feet. Nearly dropped into the ocean while doing all the reading and clicking when suddenly jester decided to leave me alone. He got pretty scared around 200feet over the water and just left me alone, without a canopy. I finally managed to drop the emergency gear and hook and was on my way to the stennis. As i got pretty close i tried to activate DLC just to see that my wings are still around 50°. My heart was pumping like a jackhammer and it was my 2nd try to land on the carrier. I made it back, don't ask which wire because i nearly fell off the deck to the left side. Last time i was immersed like this was in 2009 or 2010 when i got the ka50 and was hit in a mission with a rotor tip missing :) but i didn't made it back. I can't wait to see more modules from your team as long as they are non-FBW. :) maybe i'll buy the FBW stuff from you anyway but i know it won't get much flight hours. 42mins in the f18 and around 1 hour in the m2000c, i just don't like how they feel while flying. -
Haven't tried rio ejecting so far, but almost every time i eject my pilot gets killed and i am not dangling on the chute as usual, but i can see jester made it out safe. My funniest moment yesterday i got hit with an r60 from a mig29 in the bvr instant action mission and was damaged, but i kept saying to myself "i got this i'll make it out of here somehow". at around 300 to 400 feet jester just said "iam outta here good luck" and ejected :D Seems like he knew way before me that i wouldn't make it home safe. Great immersion :)

I am just doing instant action missions as free flight, dogfight and bvr at the moment and landed the bird every time successful except for the first time where i rolled of into the grass, cause i forgot to bind the nosewheel steering. I don't know if i got a much better pilot in the last couple of months, or the ai is set to easy, but it's quite easy for me to take down that su27 after a couple of turns i am right behind him and splash him. Was not able to win the bvr engagement so far against those 2 nasty mig29. :) The best thing for me is that its non-fbw. For me it feels like i have wasted to much money on the m2000c and the hornet since both feel to sterile to me. Once on a free flight with the f18, i went to the toilette, got me a drink from the fridge and returned 3-4 mins later so see the bird is still flying cause i forgot to hit the pause key. Was kinda surreal for me since i flew a lot of migs and su27/33.

Yeah thats the method where you overwrite original game files. Copy those 2 folders into your c:\users\your username\saved games\dcs openbeta\ But i think you have to do a repair first to get the original game files back before you are able to join on a server.
-
Seems to me you didn't install it into the saved games directory and instead you are using a mod manager, which will replace original files instead of using the ones installed into the saved games directory and that's why you don't pass the IC.

I own the PG map too, but i don't think that i ever will buy the nevada map. It's completely useless for me since i don't wanna do red flag missions at all. I can see the benefit of that map for some people who wanna do their training there like real us pilots, but for me its useless since i do most training missions just 1 time to get the sequence for a bomb/rocket/whatever weapon attack and the next training is gonna be a live target from the instant action or missions list.

Since its just a texture replacement it works without an allowance for anything like cockpit mods. I am using the mig21 clean canopy mod and also mustangs textures without any issues.

Our MiG-21 is a BIS and you would need a MiG-21-93 to be able to use r77 and r73. Since we don't have the avionics on the BIS I don't understand how you would be able to use these assets. I mean what's going to be the next request, p51 with aim9x? Gesendet von meinem Redmi Note 4 mit Tapatalk

Damn it RL drama is so much better than scripted TV drama.

** DCS: F-14 - Ambush! - COMING MARCH 13!! **
erniedaoage replied to Cobra847's topic in DCS: F-14A & B
Really awesome launch trailer! You HB already raised the bar in DCS trailers! Thanks for your hard work! I can hear me already scream at jester for doing the same thing for 5 minutes and still get blown out of the sky by that mig! :D -
No, because the server admin sets the settings. If you open multiplayer and look at the server settings you see game mode disabled on almost all servers. Doesn't matter what you set for your singleplayer game, the server makes the settings for the multiplayer environment. Same with unlimited fuel, ammo, labels, etc. ;)

I will miss those threads when the cat has finally arrived. I can't stop laughing about the interpretation and speculation of some users here. :) I think the only other bird which will get this attention will be the viper. But its a long way till those kind of threads will arise. :) Hopefully 3 more weeks of this fun right here :D
