Exactly I feel realism comes from immersion of a good flight model, aircraft model sound and the scenery. Having added features which are *optional* does not prevent anyone from experiencing true realism and immersion. If you want to shoot missiles from your 190 and its fun and adds difficulty then do it. It being *optional* does not take away. Fun thread!

If you don't like the Dora your probably not going to like the 109 would be good to do more reading if you really think the 190 is "complicated":music_whistling: I personally Love the DORA its a marvel of German machinery, which is needed to fight against P-51 within the era making the whole sim more complete. "lack of popularity" lol that could also mean more people love the plane the way it is. Less talk in the Forums could also could also mean more people spend more time flying than talking about it. You would have to ask ED for a real picture of how many flight hours people log in the sim under which modules I'm sure that data is avalible to them it would be nice to see a cool graph of it. Its not complicated I think what you mean is it is more difficult to take off more so than the P-51 thats why there are pieces on the runways since most teenagers don't have the patients to learn something difficult... Personally I appreciate added dimension of difficulty:joystick: when it comes to taking off with bombs under the wings. Many people fly single player you know not everyone wants to fly the same mission some people with real patients actually learn how to use the mission editor and make up their own senerios using whats called an imagination:pilotfly::thumbup: lol you asked for it "substandard dora" PFFFFT!

Flaps don't typically move after their set... do you mean Aileron? or Elevator? Flaps work for me in all modes. You might have missed that you cant see them from inside the cockpit view since the flaps deploy below the wing you need to check the F2 or F4 view to see them if you don't have TrackIR... Otherwise it could be a joystick issue if your mapping it to something that doesn't act like a momentary switch.

... Pretty Bold comment there... Your definitely mistaken many people are dedicated to checking this forum everyday and offer help you may not be a regular yet but you will find out... this community is strong and always helpful not sure who you've been talking to... So about those skins they are not too difficult to figure out. You need to check which country the skin gets put into since their not all USA Liveries. The simulator could definitely use a simple GUI Skin viewing interface :thumbup: but none is available yet. For now just go under the mission editor and select your aircraft example A10C for USA than left click it on the map...after adding it. Goto weapons load-out page and at the bottom right of the screen you can select the skin you want to use for that aircraft in that mission. If the skin doesn't show up in the list change the country for example that the A10C belongs to more countries than just USA ... change the pull down menu at the top to another country then check the skin list again... Some might be for example a Belgium skin for the aircraft. If you don't want to make a mission edit one of the quick starts or single missions just click the aircraft and select the load-out page. In case you want a cool list of skins heres my fav list.

Hi I'm a newb on mission editor but I know how to work the menus and explored all the options I was wondering if somone could help me turn my simple take-off and destroy a few targets mission and turn it into a trainner because I have to restart the game everytime to refly the mission. How can I make it so I can just respawn on the runway with the engine already warmed up and taking off from runway? Do I have to make it a multiplayer mission? Anyhelp would be wonderful. I also dont fully understand the mission triggers but I would like to see if its possible to set sucess condition when all targets are destroyed but right now it sucess's on one target destroyed... I realize I could try editing someone elses P-51D missions and change it to dora for player but I would like to know how generally it is done to make a player vechile be able to respawn when I make a mission for my own? Thank you for any help in advance... I realize there maybe a better way and not to have to reinvent the wheel but I would like to know how the basic wheel works and then I could look at which missions would be good trainners to easily convert to Dora Trainning missions for practice by someones advice?

HawgTouch - Free Panels & Gauges for A-10C
thinkr replied to ClearDark's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
updates to this mod? -
Thank You. Cheesy is a better word for it. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks the icons could use a little more consistency. I intend this as a benifit for ED. What are new customers to think when they see a image represeting the most realistic combat flight simulator experience avalible but a cartoon-esk icon/logo. Yes I strive to be a bit a perfectionist its just an icon but its also a brand. I care about its representation as much as the simulation experience itself. If you say you don't care, which I think you do too then how would you feel if Belsimtek put a man in a clown suit in the pilot seat in the icon instead, I prefer consistency. To me it looks meh~ again this is just chit-chat.

They look dissimilar to A10-C, Ka-50, Huey, Combined Arms.
-
I can tell by your avatar. They look dissimilar and make it look incongruent with the thought of being a realistic simulator. Dont get me wrong I love anime Tri-Gun,Samuri Champloo, Neon Genesis Evangelion! I just dont see a relavent point being made representing a simulator with a picture like that.

Is it just me or do the Dora & Sabre Icons look too ... well lets just call them lame and don't even look like they belong. For that matter I think the Mustang Icon, Mi-8 Icon, Dora, & Sabre Jet Icons need a rework. They look like they come from archi comic books and they don't do the DCS brand any justice! This is supposed to be a very well thought out simulator with tons of experience behind it. Thoes icons make the brand look like a toy or joke! Really! The Huey, Icon BS2, A-10C, & Combined Arms icons look like somone actually put work into them. Really the others don't look like they fit at all. They belong in a cartoon comic book :joystick: I know its just being picky but really the Icon is the brand and makes the sim look really !:doh:!

Looks really cool mod for sure. Does this mod only run in windowed state? What kind of frame rates do you get with this setup? -
Kneebord Export for all DCS modules - I need your suggestions
thinkr replied to PeterP's topic in DCS Modding
Its been a little while but I figured I would ask. Since many new updates...and the mod doesn't work with 1.2.8 anymore. I just want to be able to resize kneeboard I don't want to move it. I looked inside C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircrafts\Flaming Cliffs\Cockpit\KneeboardRight\device_init.lua I tried editing this by changing the values sx_l, sz_l but it did nothing. I tried editing the Multiplier 0.5 Default changed to 1.5 and that did nothing. thx for any help in advance. I would like to resize for all FC3 Aircraft, Mi-8TV, and Huey Which files do I edit. I imagine there are separate ones... -
Looks like interesting software. I haven't read the manual yet I understand what an ATC is. But can we get perhaps a promotional video to desmonstrate how this software benifits gameplay?

To be honest I would say it would be better to just make the Mig15 an Artificial Intelligence Plane this would cut production costs and you could just add it as a bonus for buying the F86 with a little more added to the price example. F86+Mig15 AI = $50. Other than that the F86 would be the reason to fly the 15 would be nice to be there so you can shoot it down as AI. They were both made from the same stolen German plans anyway. I enjoy how they like making things bigger.

I would say the main benefits of flying the Su-25 instead of the T version are simple. Lighter, Less avionics and less difficulty maneuvering, more fun concentrating on actual flying the aircraft. The biggest reason that compels most to fly the 25 and not the "T" is because its a simpler plane it less stringent on your CPU as well! Meaning people with weaker computer systems can fly it more readily since they get better FPS flying the SU-25! How cool is that! :pilotfly::joystick::thumbup:
