  1. @Grundar: Just want to say YOU ROCK! thank you so much for taking the time to explain! Cheers!
  2. @Zubuzard: Thank you very much! Sorry I wasn't trying to be condescending, I am sometimes a little frustrated due to my small RAM capacity IRL. I read the manual and found the button and actually made a bind to it..... I still don't get flares... Still working on it. Due to the fact I have double digit IQ, can some one please talk me through setting up the countermeasures like they would a 5 year old? Thanks Gents
  3. Good God, Why can't they have a naming convention in DCS for just Flare or Chaff dispense, instead of some obscure ramdom title like: Scrotum squeeze dispense counter buckle front seat &^%*&$$%@%$*^)(&)&^^&$&^# ?
  4. I have come to understand the the F4E was just a power and vertical maneuver beast. I'm trying to feel my way through some tactics. If it doesn't have the power for that or that it isn't a turn fighter.. what do you do besides trying to just jump an unaware opponent. The F4 is a big heavy bird but those massive twin engines must account for something. I remember that the F14 was the same when it first came out but now she is amazing.
  5. I was hoping that you would make the same Campaign but for the F4E Please!!
  6. Hi Guys, I just started flying he F4 and was watching some videos on the F4 combat in Vietnam, those Smithsonian videos and some others on how the pilots maneuvered when encountering migs in dogfights. Of course I tried to use high speed and tried to replicate what Olds did etc. I feel the speed bleed off is way to much when using the vertical and trying the cross over maneuvers, acceleration is also kinda sluggish, anyone else tried these? I was watching a video on the real life F16 pilots trying the Viper and they commented that the speed bleed off was way to much and acceleration was to low from what they remembered flying the real jet. After a few months DCS increased the acceleration and lowered the speed bleed off and the Viper responds much better now. I was wondering if there is any real F4 pilots trying out the new heat blur module? Any of you gamer pilots have any good ideas when trying to fight the AI or is it just "you get what you get" and try to discover new ways to ACM within the game?
  7. Any Harrier pilots out there interested in a sea Harrier? Would you throw cash at another variant for DCS?

  8. Try the sliders in the settings for the Av8B, there is a contrast and gain slider you can adjust
  9. Tonapah test range I was trying to take off from, I also out the temp down to 6*C I haven't tried Edwards though
  10. I've tried with 1300Lbs of fuel and thats it! can hardly get the thing off the ground. I have no issues like this in other maps... Anyone else experiencing this?
  11. I would really like a LHA like the Tarawa or America added for the rotary and STOVL players out there with all the radio and LSO/Deck crew options that the Hornet guys get!

  12. Well I've been doing some testing as the claims of the flight model is realistic. Some things I've found: service ceiling for the F1 is 66,000ft, try and get to that altitude, 2. specs say ferry range (combat patrol)is 2:15min with belly tank and super 530's, try that... Max speed is Mach 2.2, try and get above Mach 2.0 for more than 5 min, engine will blow up and die. Also try landing at 140 knots clean, which was one of the pluses to the F1.....Can't really get any radar lock over 15km... You say that the flight model is complete, or close? humm... just saying......
