Release date is the 15th I believe, for early access open beta. There is no final finished release date scheduled. There is an existing carrier in DCS already, the USS Stennis, but it is fairly basic and old. This new Supercarrier is the Theodore Roosevelt class and adds animated deck crew, better more realistic comms with new voice acting, and other features.

Typically it’s not been more than a couple weeks for past releases.

Isn't there some setting for an automatic missile/bomb camera view? Check through your settings.

With tpod active, double press sensor select to enter hts mode. It enables a bunch more tpod shortcuts via the sensor select switch.

It isn't out yet.

New modules always hit open beta first only, then stable weeks later.

Sensor select aft should toggle between lss and tv modes of the dmt. I can’t think of any steps you’re missing... it’s one button.

I’m confused since I’ve used cougar mfds with the harrier for years. The buttons all work fine. What are you Asking for?

+1, I'd love this just to have another little indicator when I push through to burner without staring at the IFEI.

“Fairness” isn’t that much a consideration in dcs. I don’t believe anyone reviews the code of 3rd parties to see if certain features are implemented to make multiplayer fair.

Thanks!

I have some unknown modded files that are breaking integrity check. I want to clear them out. If I do the DCS Cleanup/Repair utility, it says it will get rid of files that are not official. Does this mean it'll get rid of custom or downloaded missions, or wipe bindings? What specifically will it target?

Probably not anytime soon. Free trials have been pretty rare in the past although ED has been saying it would like to do them more often. I imagine they help sales.

Ive been enjoying the Anton since I bought it last week. It’s slower than the Dora, but still has a mighty roll rate and good high speed handling. And lots of firepower. But the best thing about it might be the sounds and the look of such a beautiful aircraft :) And don’t listen to those saying the AI is unbeatable. I’ve been having very fun fights and find that good bfm and energy management can certainly beat any AI warbird.

In DCS, right now, can't be done. TPOD is for a single 'target of opportunity'. Multiple drops in one pass is done through coordinates/CAS page entries.

Time on Target isn't implemented yet.

I don't find the AI warbird flight model that bad compared to the MiG-15/21 or F-5E. It feels like it puts up a decent fight but it also feels very beatable with good tactics. I've seen it go vertical in a chase and run out of energy before I do. That literally never happens to the AI MiG-15 for example.

Kutznetzov is getting a model upgrade included with the Supercarrier module. Doubt it's going to have animated deck crew or new comms, though, but it's a good start.

It was made by an ED subsidiary called Belsimtek at the time - but it is ED now. The MiG-15 AI is one of the worst in DCS. Horrible UFO flight model that can rocket upward from a near stall. Near invulnerability. Most others aren't quite so bad. MiG-21 isn't great either.

I'm curious, will the scene involving nudging a plane with a passed out pilot into a new course be included in some way? i can't imagine how that would get scripted but would be an awesome test of flying skill.

Thanks, I have already tried this with no luck, I'm afraid. I might try again with a different version just to see if it's any different. Edit: Still no luck. And it occurs to me, it's probably not drivers since one of the two MFD panels does still work. A windows driver would affect both of them.

One of my pair of Cougar MFDs has died on me. Won't power on, no lights, Windows doesn't see it. I've had it for about 2 years now. It's on a powered USB hub. No problems before this, very sudden death. I've tried other ports and on the hub and on my PC, and it's definitely the MFD not the USB ports. Thrustmaster told me it was out of warranty so they're no help. Has anyone troubleshot this type of issue before or opened up one of the panels to work on it?

Try pressing TMS up before slewing. That ought to slow it down.

No... they deserve exactly what they paid for, which is early access to a product that is in development with no promised finish date. Regular updates and timetables are not part of the transaction. I’m glad we get them but they are a courtesy from ED. Not deserved based on payment.

This is a bug. For now, switch to CCIP before changing waypoints.
