  1. Yea well, m Hype video is hype. That’s all.
  2. Like what was inop? Are you matching the Tape build Heatblur is using? Or the ubiquitous 14A Natops manual that’s of a different software tape? Also yea, the manual that was a whole big deal that it was HTML and so would be updated regularly, is wayyyy off and still lacks a LOT of how to guidance.
  3. DCS was always JMSU. They just hid it behind appeals for counter-proof.
  4. WE don't want proof. ED and Heatblur want to see proof that they are wrong and you are right. Your problem is with them, and you have been told how to take it up with them. This isn't a player consensus developed game, If you have actual data, bring it to them.
  5. Also, just to remind folks. Don’t set strength to 100% because reasons. Set it to 99%. I think it only sees 2 of the 3 digits. So 100 either gives you 10 or 00 but decidedly not 100.
  6. We aren’t the ones making the claim. You are, so the burden of proof is yours. You’ve been told the standards required for proof, and who to prove it to. Have at it. Also don’t shift the goalposts. Nobody was talking about the AIM-9 so bringing it up is a deflection. Don’t do that. Show ED and maybe Heatblur WHY your right. With Receipts and citations. Not feelings and shoulds.
  7. Question is. Do those hoses HAVE to be fancy bi-metallic super hoses? Or is it just better if they are? Because there’s US Navy quality maintenance, and “good enough” maintenance. Also yea the Tomcat was also the tail end of pre-databus. So Everything had a dedicated wire or twelve running to and from it. That’s a massive time sink. As well as work vs working space. It’s one thing to take an engine out when you have space to move and stick stuff, it’s another to do it cramped into a corner of a carrier hangar. All that adds time a d time is money. So when Hornets came along everything else started looking crazy expensive. Tomcat especially due to size, exotic engineering choices, and the absolute miles and miles of rats nest of wire.
  8. Well one, they want Track files, not Tacview. And it's not limitations to the engine. Literally the missile model once it is in the air is Eagle Dynamics. So any in the air changes need to be brought to Eagle Dynamics NOT Heatblur. Heatblur can't touch the missile once it drops off the aircraft.
  9. Now, consider this, you're a smaller nation using them basically as a trophy for a war your fathers and grandfathers fought 50 years ago. All they have to do is fly around and look pretty. And compared to a nuclear development program, how much is it really costing them relatively to keep what 16 operating at 50% capacity?
  10. I’m not confirming CURRENTLY because I haven't bothered with ANY aspect of the autopilot in well over a year. But there have always been FFB “weirdsies” in the past. Especially with the 20+ year old legacy sticks. I will say without any hesitation, fork out for a new FFB stick. Just because HB has been off and on with having one to work with, shouldn’t mean you shouldn’t enjoy it waiting on them. It makes EVERYTHING better, when enough people have them HB and everyone else will have no excuse not to put more priority on FFB development.
  11. If you look at Iranian airbases on google earth you can definitely see that they leave quite a significant and distinctive leak footprint. All that oil must be good for corrosion prevention.
  12. Well, hate to tell you, but terminal phase is all Eagle Dynamics, not Heatblur, good luck shifting that mountain.
  13. One thing I found early on with my Sidewinder FFB2 was sometimes it seemed like the autopilot didn’t completely shut off. I’d get weird behavior but only sometimes.
  14. They also have different use cases that help that. Land based operations, No actual fighting since the Iran/Iraq war, they had time to sit with busted airframes as they had other patrol capable aircraft, and they babied them like a classic car to save the wing pass through box. Aside from the spar box and the elevators, it’s all just metal and bits and such. I think it’s more that we didn’t want to politically look bad if a paper trail showed our “sworn enemy”(whatever) was breaking our virile and powerful embargo. I’m sure anyone competent at the DoD knows they can make their own stuff. But politically we didn’t want to look weak. Which was what made it all the funnier that they WERE still getting parts smuggled in from both our side by people who “shouldn’t” have been, and the USSR.
  15. So couple things, the Phoenix had to go because it was too big, too heavy, and radars got better, that led to the AMRAAM which used what we learned from the Phoenix A and C in a lighter, compact package useable across many radar systems. Phoenix is good at look down shoot down because the AWG-9 is a big radar dish with A loud Emitter. Not a disposable harpoon. DCS Trees are DCS trees. Assume the worst at all times. But beyond that, you think it’s word against word, but it’s lots of dedicated study and modeling and testing and First hand accounts from people who FLEW the tomcat vs your word. Do you see why your personal anecdotal educated wish isn’t getting traction here? PROVE you’re right, or stop rationalizing your feeling of how you think it should be.
  16. Put Throttle at cutoff, click button put throttle at idle, click button, put throttle at mil. Click button, put throttle at max. Click button. why is that so hard? Someone have a patent on it or something?
  17. Didn’t even link the “post” they supposedly found! They don’t. It’s a bad forum. I barely tolerate it for multiplayer. And it’s even worse than seeing a Facebook group as a company “web page”. When I go to Heatblur.com and click on Forum. It brings me here. Not a self hosted forum, and not a discord fan site. Here.
  18. I guess I’ll just assume so, because there is’t that much context here.
  19. Discord….the In game chat app is now the official support site? Have you ever gotten google search results for Discord? And have you ever tried to search a discord stream of consciousness chat log?
  20. All that effort, and parts still got shipped to Iran from the US. You can’t stop a black market.
  21. What the hell with all the resistors a d Capacitors? Some kind of debounce? Bodnar boards expect a clean direct wired Encoder. So either remove the components and bridge. Or just pull the encoder off the board and direct wire from the encoder. I mean a Mega has more digital inputs than a Bodnar board. But needs to be interfaced DCS-BIOS not HID. For big heaps of panels DCS-BIOS Megas give you more per USB connection.
  22. If you don’t value your wallet. Search Spherical Collimated Display.
  23. Yes, dynamic spawns I believe need to be “player” not “client” or something like that. Otherwise it’s literally just doing the same as you clicking in a new aircraft in ME with no setup. Dynamic spawns are for pickup not planned stuff.
