Cynicism? Buddy, I am hopeful!!

"Many much-anticipated aircraft are coming soon,..." I really, really hope they've given due consideration to what that one word means to most people.

I’m with you, brother. But as you’ve already sampled, the push back will be severe and sustained. After all, even if you have real world fighter experience, there are people here with at least 2 or 3 times as many hours of simulated dogfighting. So, like, they know better. To quote from Battlestar Galactica regarding your suggestion, “All of this has happened before. All of this will happen again.”

Because it deserves to be repeated.

Just want to tell you, good luck. We're all counting on you.

Yes

That issue exists for all modules. It doesn't explain why the F-5's wings are so much easier to break than the others.

Fair enough. Thanks

This difference in perspective is interesting. You're using it in VR?

Keeping hope alive. I like it. This is The One module I am really, really looking forward to

To each his own, I guess. I love the Mig-19 cockpit

Yep, like the man said, the F-8 Crusader. Sorry for the confusion Don’t I know it. Unfortunately, it seems to have been put on the back burner for other priorities

Judging from the posts in this thread and others, I don’t think any of us REALLY understand what it takes to reach the level of an official third-party module. They did what they wanted, at the level they wanted, and are clearly satisfied with the result. That approach may not be for you or me, but it was for them. I’d recommend trying to not be so judgmental.

They aren’t a Third Party Dev. They are hobbyists who,I believe, have no desire to go “official”. And most people are grateful for their outstanding effort, as is. Yes. But if it’s that or nothing, I’ll take it.

Sure. But I was disagreeing with your comment about it being the worst choice. Obviously the players frequenting that server don’t think so.

Not really. Enigma’s Cold War server does exactly that and is one of the most popular servers

Exactly Plus, server admins can set it up so that players do NOT have to install a mod in order to log into the server. In the case of the A-4E, a player without the mod will just see an Su-27 rather than an A-4E.

Thanks for sharing all that, Miles. No worries, we get it. Get better. Cab

I’m gonna guess two weeks

Check out the end of the "2023 and Beyond" video here: Plus it already has its own, official Wish List forum: DCS: Hellcat F6F - ED Forums

This was the ticket to success. Thank you.

Ok, thanks. I’ll try using the top of the HUD as an aiming point when I get home today

Really all versions and ranges but I'd be happy to focus on the AIM-9B as a control since it is commonly used by so many aircraft in DCS I freely admit it could be something I'm doing wrong, however, I experience no problem getting a tone with the AIM-9B on the F-5, F-86, A-4, etc. But under similar circumstances with the F1, getting a tone is very, very rare. Also, I am accounting for the two-minute requirement after turning the "MATRA 550 or sidewinder missile switch" to M. So basically it comes down to this: In the F1 I rarely ever get tone using the AIM-9B, while in other aircraft I have no problem getting a tone. But for all I know, maybe the F1 is correct and the others are too easy.

It is much more difficult to get a lock with the Sidewinders on the F1 compared to the other jets. Anyone know why?
