This should be a model for in-game observations. I hope your thread will be seen by ED. I do have a feeling that the DCS F16 has a too big drag coefficient, and that may be where your observation comes from. I don't have any IRL experience or extensive knowledge to back this up, but from what I read and heard the Viper should be one hell of a monster in 2 circle fights, essentially having a massive sustained turn rate around 400ish knots. But it just looses so much energy as the AoA climbs, it feels like a massive aerobrake.

Hey Reflected, With that massive map update we just received today, will you update the missions to more accurately represent the book events? I was not expecting such a big update, I’m just waiting now for the new DM to start playing this campaign and I’m very excited about it. Have a good day, and keep up with the good work :)

You absolutely can start it by the book, that's how I actually make it work. Pump with the engine primer pump, put the fuel cut off lever to the forward position, use the wobble pump until the whole fuel circuit is pressurized, and quickly use the starter. Once the engine catches, give it a hand by using the wobble pump until it runs normally.

True, but what I mean is that I would like to have a way to hide the opposing forces.

Basically, I am making a mission with a friend in multiplayer for the rest of the squadron. We are planning to have some people flying red air, but we don't want them to know that, which they can do via the scoreboard. So is there any way to disable it?

Well, here’s my wish F111C, after the AUP, or an F111F. Aaaahhh I’m dreaming of this jet.

Tried it twice with 4 then 2 players. We really enjoyed it, it was good fun. Very instructive as well, it makes us use most of the systems in the plane which is a good way to practice. The voiceovers make the mission alive, and having a different mission each time makes it more entertaining. One thing that would make it better though would be to make two pairs instead of 4 units in a single flight. In other words, replacing Dodge 1-3 and 1-4 by Dodge 2-1 and 2-2. It makes it easier to lead. Other than that, excellent work.

Sorry about that, I meant HTS for I believe Hotas Targeting System, that’s what it’s called in the AV-8B.

Can the TGP be controlled via the HOTAS like in the A10 or at least to a limited extent like the Harrier?

Same here I have to say, I love ED's work, but why is ths spitfire not being looked at? There are visual bugs, some very annoying, that are yet to be fixed since a year now. Especially the sun glare.

Mig29SMT would be my choice

The australians use ECM pods on their hornets , I don't know regarding the US though.

Agreed, looks awesome

Oh that's nice then, is there any date for when it's going to be implemented?

They spoke about a big WWII assets pack update in the newsletter from two or three weeks ago for this summer. We may see some things appear there.

Beautiful aircraft indeed... but it would get absolutely plumed with what would be against it in DCS.

Tempest. If impossible then Typhoon

Someone said Tempest :) I want iiiiiiit Otherwise I would appreciate a 109 as well, G-6 or G-10, with a Typhoon as well, so we can have great flyable assets for Normandy. The Mosquito is also a very welcome one, and it's on the list. But I want nothing more than a Tempest!!

In 3 weeks it will be a year that this bug is present, it can't be such a nightmare to fix, Razbam fixed it on their modules in a single day... Why isn't it being watched?

I believe it is, every HP you can get while running away is taken

tbh I think it's just sad we got the 1.42 ata instead of the 1.55 or 1.68 ata engines. But it still feels underpowered in combat. I still don't understand the story with the C3 injection system either, every source I read of talk about it for the A8 variant, so why is it not going to be done?

Agree, the only thing missing is the splash damage though, way too weak. But the animation looks damn cool.

Same here

Well, we got the A8, the Mustang and the Spitfire for the D-Day settings, but I'd like to have something to fight the Dora and the Kurfurst as well. A Typhoon would be great too though, but I'd rather have the Tempest, which actually did see combat in Normandy, but there were only a few compared to the Typhoon.

Yeah, not much to say, other than I'd like this beautiful bird so damn much. My dream plane :D
