Dirty Mittens

Well if early access is taking years.... just saying not complaining

Would you show up to work if your boss stopped paying you?

Naval aviators can't participate in the virtual war on terrorism(Afghanistan), will this map be able to recreate realistic US Navy operations with the DCS super carrier and DCS F18C?

Since the map can already be purchased in "segments ", why not offer a bare bones "out of bounds" addition called "South of Afghanistan " so us navy fan boys can get in on this map? We don't need any buildings, just baren water and land on the way TO Afghanistan. Just like how the out of bounds is there in NTTR. As far as impacting performance are we talking about an extra minute or two loading empty land and water or crash to desktop failure? As far as the flight length... I mean yeah of course it's not for everyone... but don't shut out your core players(F18/F14/super carrier)because you wouldn't want to fly that long.

You and me both. When I get back home I will try and provide a track file or replay, maybe someone can show me what I'm doing wrong if anything. I play on the Hoggit training server and fail to lock up the C101s that are for target practice and usually end up flying right past them or finally do lock them around 5 miles away. I've been using that "Maverick" youtube video as a guide. I then created my own mission using 2 F4s as target practice at 50 miles and 100 miles out over the open sea. The first F4 I can eventually lock up at about 15-20 miles out. I'm still learning the radar so I took it as I still need more work. The second F4 I could not find on radar. I cheated and used the F10 map and he was pretty much right off my nose. 40 miles. 30 20 still cant see him... I got frustrated and turned my radar to STBY then back to OPR. 2 seconds later the brick shows up, and lock him up almost instantly.

I've been away from the hornet for a few months letting it mature a little and noticed something different recently. While auto bombing MK82s my bombs release earlier than expected. Before I used to be able to designate the target and get the countdown to release on the hud. At about 3 seconds to release I would hold weapons release button down and when the timer got to 0 it would release.... automatically. When I do that now MK82s drop 3 seconds early and miss of course. What has changed?

Thanks for the post, I've been tinkering with 3rd party apps for dcs and thought for sure I screwed something up.

I've been using my thrustmaster warthog HOTAS for so long I naturally assumed that real dual engine aircraft have some mechanism that keeps both throttles together just like the warthog. I upgraded recently and my new throttle doesn't have a "bar" to move both throttles together. Which is correct for our F18?

Maybe not 100% this situation, but it kind of amazes me that more people don't take advantage of the wonderful liveries in the file library. Even when playing online on servers that allow skins many people just use the default stuff.

That's actually a pretty good idea.

Agreed 100% While it's great to see ED still cares about this module, it was a let down that a doorgunner still can't be the second person. Looking forward to buying this module when it matures a little bit more.

Thank you Bananimal for delivering these skins where as ED couldn't. I hope to see people using them online.

To add to that, I've had the same thing happen a couple of times. What also seems to trigger it is, when loading bombs you don't wait for the arming complete message and you reopen the arming menu and make changes again. Go fly your mission and when it comes time to drop ordinance you get stuck trying to select it on the stores page.

That's not a bad idea. My hype for the 14 has died down, but now that everything is back to normal pricing, it might be the best time to purchase it. I was also looking at the CE II, the price is perfect. But it looks like an absolute handful to fly? I'm not sure how a aviation noob would handle it?

Oh wow missed it. No biggie, same question still applies.
