Not really helpful, but keep at it, looking at the vid from your cessna cockpit you're a pretty creative chap!

No it's not. ED is the only one in this niche market. Think about why that is. Ooh I don't know, maybe it's the nature of the focus (military hardware) and the complexity of coding such a thing.

Even though you don't feel ready, start playing missions/campaigns anyway. It's pretty much the only way you'll learn situational awareness, which is key in mastering the jet, and you'll learn using the weapons and sensors effectively while flying in a hostile environment.

Any chance this can be downloaded without the mods? Personally I don't like mods. :)

Right. Don't know how I overlooked that one. :music_whistling:

Not a problem. I have the same throttle as you do. Just turn off "Realistic TDC" in the options. :)

If ED would only focus on one specific era, it couldn't survive as a company I would imagine. Plus, personally the introduction of modern jets was what got me into DCS, I don't care for old and low tech. So I'm glad ED/3rd parties focus on more era's than just one.

As stated in the manual: The 4th one is the only one not modeled currently, although it would be very handy if it would, because it would allow us the dim only the moving map, which would make it easier to read the symbology. I was wondering if this will be implemented as well?

What is a "splatmap"?

Now, a Eurofighter is one I definitely would like to see in the (near?) future. Brings back old memories of EF2000 from DiD. :smartass:

Actually, I believe the Radar Altimeter switch in the F-16C is also the other way around. If I remember correctly, that is. :)

The more people keep nagging about updates and timeframes and postings on forums, the less time they have for actual development. Please, keep calm and let them work in peace ffs.

If you play only in SP I wouldn't advise the F-14 because of Jester AI.

Ah yah. I'm sorry I wasn't of more use, you're right about the ED manuals which are fairly technical, and not really "handholding", by lack of a better description. Don't know if Chuck's planning to release one for the F-16? I haven't used them to be honest, I'm one lucky fella in the sense I mostly remember things after one read/viewing only.

Yeah, would welcome this. :) Also, maybe also an extra page for whatever one puts in the briefing in the ME.

Yes~! :D

Oh come on, don't stretch the argument. There's a difference between building a mission with the ME provided with DCS, or obtaining accurate information, designing, coding, building, testing, and implementing a complex mod and then maintain it. At the very least you need additional software and specific knowledge for that. You don't when building a mission. :)

That's very exaggerated. A mission is a mod? Ok then.

From the manual: You can even navigate there in under 5 seconds (not trying to be a smartass by the way). :smartass:

Unfortunately didn't work for me.

Well. In essence that's true, ofc. It's just because people seem to think DCS modules are expensive (just look at how many wanted, almost demanded, to get the supercarrier for free. Or just the SC ATC. Or just the deck crew. Or just ...), they want mods. And in that regard the argument of giving modders access to the SDK is just some kind of subterfuge. At least, in my humble opinion. :)

No, you would get a gigantic pile of mods of which most will be badly supported over time. Which in turn reduces the overall quality and fidelity of DCS. You just want free stuff, so it seems.

You can do TMS Right, then all track targets get upgraded to system targets. See Wags' vid on TWS for the F-16.

It won't.

Strange. Just flew, and the sky was filled with stars. Quite nice. Tried a repair and/or clean?
