I got a TACAN from over 60 NM in NTTR yesterday, Couldn't say if it was being limited by mountains vs altitude before that or not.

They say they'll eventually get around to it. but until then; There's a mod for that. https://github.com/Quaggles/dcs-input-command-injector Works a treat for turning annoying one way switches into proper toggles as well as adding missing axis and assignment.

Say you and your wingman both fire Sparrows at a pair of targets. If they're on the same channel. what happens?

Discord is gross and nobody should use it for anything but multiplayer coordination. seriously companies, get the hell off discord.

Yes Iceman has a cognitive issue with active pause. Iceman has a lot of cognitive issues.

Really? I thought they did motor swaps on the phoenix in the boat. I know I’ve seen zebra Phoenixes in photos, was that mostly done onshore?

I think he’s just bored.

I don’t disagree, but my guess is web people and manual people may not be the same people. So it will be whatever it will be when it be. As we learned today with the Phantom release.

They are referring to F-14 and showing how the F-4 has the capability of printing online. F-14 Documentation has been back burnered to make the F-4, so hopefully it gets some attention soon for more flexible formatting. And an update in the Mods folder…. because seriously, choking down 30+ giant images from a slow server just to look something up quickly is a Huge PITA.

Zoom out for taxi and takeoff. You should see all the way down to the Engine instruments field of view wise in that phase of flight. Gives you better overall sighting of the surroundings. Zoomed into the hud is for Fighting and maybe landing if you’re stuck without head tracking.

They ran different motors with the same head. Look up Zebra Phoenix. Old white motors with new grey AIM-54C heads. The actual missile was built on board from parts as needed. And unlike the Airforce and Army, waste not want not. Just tell the C what butt it has on and it manages.

Also most of the difference is once it has left the rail, so that’s definitely ED’s side.

When you’re in a full crew and you get it you notice it. *ftch-click*ftch-click*ftch-click*…..

And it’s an ED problem so…..yea…

Don’t know why, but I thought Heatblur didn’t have FFB for a while.

Did Heatblur ever get a new FFB stick? The Rhino’s are starting to come in faster, and I might have a Sidewinder FFB 2 franken stick up for grabs if Heatblur needs a janky old spare.

Unless it’s part of the phantom launch, you know what I meant;) Were the 414’s the kaboom engines, or were those the ones before the 412s?

Perfect! Just what I needed!

Because DCS is the free spinoff of a paid training product. ED believes they have industrial secrets deserving of protection. It’s not old abandonware that got its source code dumped by some packrat dev. It’s a going concern that just happens to also have a “free” branch. After people got in the old version to keep running the hawk, ED has locked down the code pretty tight. Just ask any unofficial mod maker how hard it is to do things like integrate radios.

The correct phraseology is: ”Soon” which means any time between now and the heat death of the universe.

Is it part of the phantom? Because right now, it’s an all phantom all the time crunch.

You can also cheat a little arduino DCSbios Rx light rig. (Or Helios if you can grock its crazy programming) Not as helpful when both radios are squaking, but some level of helpful.

I mean, deep down, this is still a Pentium III and sub 1GB RAM level game in its physics bones. It’s not even a spherical earth model, so don’t expect the most sophisticated Stratosphere (Stratobox?) simulation.

Does anyone have pictures and or the grip manufacturer/part number of the controller used for the Tomcat A/B LANTERN? I want to build one using THESIMNET’s components, but really need to see some of the Left side details,(like what is the actual type of switch on the side there) as well as the drawing sheet for the shell itself. Can I sneak a peek at it in ModelViewer? Or is the left side not modeled since nobody ever sees it?

As with all documents of Soviet equipment, has it been independently verified? There was, and is, a lot of “politically approved” science being done.
