Teknetium I was also looking for the same. But with the advent of the F-16 I am transitioning back to NATO aircraft. You are welcome to fly with us anytime on the Eagles Nest. I am trying to form an attack squadron there. Our focus aircraft at the moment are the F-5 and upcoming F-16. Still the Grach has a special place with me. I really wish ED would show it the attention it deserves.

You can set it to whatever you want. The boats seems to top out at 29kt. At that speed you can still shoot the case 1 and have all the numbers work out.

TACVIEW is now integrated on the server side. Squadron members will get a link to the Google Share where they can view and download their ACMI files. https://youtu.be/I6pIl4PXY8Q

EDIT: I think my problems were just loading a big mission. All seems to work ok if I give the server a few minutes to load up properly.

Habu I get them to land and takeoff again. But I don't think they re-arm or re-fuel. They seem to run out of gas later on. I have some CH47's that base hop. They only make it halfway before they run out of gas.

The boat needs to be balls out for the overhead to work out. In DCS this is about 29 kt.

linebacker I have been looking for the same thing. LUA references are easy to find. It's the DCS stuff I need

Thanks for the info. I have already read the manual. Compared to the manuals I'm used to reading, its a walk in the park. Anyway, hopefully my next video will show more accurate procedures. I'm really liking this F-5.

In my scenario I have some helos that go from base to base. They make it about halfway through the flight plan before they run out of gas. I don't think they actually re-fuel.

Actually, this is exactly why I created my own server. I prefer simulation over gaming. Just my opinion. And by gaming I mean the launch-sling missiles-die...crowd. I can't stand that stuff. I prefer to fly with a few buddies, plan out a mission, and execute it. To each his own. As to the OP's question... I suppose in this day of twitch streamers, they want to show how good they are at killing A-10's with F-18's.

You are welcome to try mine. I have several training aircraft available to fly. I have a training base where you can fly and stay out of combat if you want. And when you are ready, there is plenty of combat to be had. See signature

F-5 Please

Thank you Mover for this video. Please do some more flight instruction in the F-5 sir.

Well if you run a museum and have to write up a placard describing the plane, then you are correct. But they only have old F-5's to go by. Old means changed. All of them. Anyway, I don't think that they intended the bird to be a specific USN bird.

Flying the F-5E on my first sortie...sort of. The first one where I mean to shoot at bad guys. I still need to RTFM (read the __ manual). So, in this mission I felt more like private SNAFU than anything. But...on to the film Note: No sheep or sheep farmers were injured in the making of this film....at least that anyone can prove...beyond a shadow of a doubt. https://youtu.be/cEMf8RS2biQ

Here is a short simple mission on the server I am a rank newby trainee in the F-5. I still need to RTFM (read the manual). So, this video is not instruction. Rather it is a video of mostly what NOT to do...lol Disclaimer: No sheep or sheep farmers were harmed in the making of this film...that we know of...or at least that anyone can prove. https://youtu.be/cEMf8RS2biQ

Well I wrote a lot, but deleted it. You would be hard pressed to find any two airplanes exactly alike unless you got them right off the production line. It would also be hard to get drawings that match up to the hardware you are looking at. I think they did a good job on the F-5E. I also think that if it represents a range of aircraft rather than one single type, they should have an option for air refueling.

Here is a video talking about the Eagles Nest server and the philosophy behind it. https://youtu.be/Eqn0G56mHA8 All are welcome to fly. Requirements: DCS World OpenBeta (latest) Optional: SRS (latest, auto connect) Discord (see signature)

The F-5N would be great for modern ACM training. But the F-5A would be good for the historical stuff. How about some Skoshi Tigers.... And I would definitely buy an F-20. I went through college with a poster of that bird on the wall.

Well you are welcome anytime my friend. Actually anyone here is. I have had at most 3 or 4 pilots on at any given time. Mostly just 1...me. I really like working on the mission editor and may even jump into LUA programming later. The scenario on the server was actually designed for me to practice air-to-ground missions. You can fly on there without communication. And you can just train on there as well. Currently I am trying to get the dynamic weather to do what I want.

bbrz you don't know what you're missing man. You can come fly with me on my server. MP is amazing. I don't fly the Su-25 much nowadays. I'm training myself on the F-5 in preparation for the F-16. But I will fly the Su-25 in some coop missions. I love that plane.

After watching Shiftie's video on editing the dynamic weather file, I guess this is a non issue for me. I have been successful at creating some pretty good dynamic weather using the techniques he described. However, I still don't know how to create thunderstorms or solid overcast in dynamic weather.

Zukhov...The Russian fields are known for broken concrete due to the extreme weather. Did you try it on say Nevada or Persian Gulf maps....Maybe it's smoother over there on those. your car instruments are more dampened and less sensitive than those airplane gauges by the way. It doesn't matter in 3d how you create an effect as long as it looks real. The reflection texture looks very real to me.

They don't have to be light sources. Brightness is determined by whatever illumination is affecting the textured surface and the color values of the texture itself. So, they can brighten up the illumination and increase the contrast on the textures.

All the night lighting is too dim. The cities are way too muted too.
