You know the F would be awesome, the W would be cool and what I would like to see but you are right. The F has a lot of potential!

Ahh gotcha. Damn internet, a person makes one slight in a sentence and someone is on them . That's cool you worked on them tho, couldn't ask for a better bird in my opinion.

You may want to check into the AV8B Day attack versions performance in Desert Storm. It actually had kick ass ground attack capability, there are several books on the topic in fact.

Thanks, never thought to try that, I'll give it a go.

This bug has been going on for awhile now but it seems there is only one cold start position for the Huey on the Tarawa deck. Several patches ago(might have even been more than 6months) we could select from one of the 4 helo start positions on the left side of the Tarawa deck, now regardless of which parking spot is picked the Huey always starts at the bow of the ship. Not sure if this is the same with the other chopper modules as I only use the Huey. Bug or something that has been overlooked?

Can confirm. At 20,000ft, engine at around 82rpms the fuel flow used to be around 077, now it sitting up around 090-094. It is definitely drinking for more fuel for sure.

I've had this same problem with various mixes of helicopter and fixed wing aircraft as well.

Darth Vader in your cockpit during wartime hey? Man, times are different.

The cost of each aircraft is definitely one of the main reasons I think Forbes came out with this article, not to mention the cost of the whole program. When you consider most modern conflicts have had juiced up 4th Gen aircraft dropping JDAM's on irregular fighting forces (cave dwelling jihadists) it seems crazy to think you need something like the F-35 to do that. I don't know the fine points on this topic I'll admit, but who's to say in 5 years radar advances won't make the F-35's stealth capability useless and you would have been better off developing a 4th Gen Plus low cost mass manufactured light jet like the F-16 and spent your development money on better jammers and 'bolt on tech' to make them effective in the off event you have to face a peer fighting force. Just my two lumps of dry dog shit...

Hey there, anyone here had any experience with giving their joystick a static shock and having it be inoperable? I was hoping there might be some magic fix on one of the boards in the base but the joystick is completely dead now and won't turn on. I also see on their website that electrical discharge appears to be something not covered under warranty (still waiting for word back from them). The stick is a VKB Gladiator NXT as shown in the thread title, anyone with any solution or suggestion would be much welcome, thanks.

Its a cool plane for sure, I have more of an interest in the cold war type stuff, but incredible to think how far flight has come in 100 years!

I just tried this mission a couple days ago and yes its still doing this. I wish the Dev would chime in to confirm this is known? I really enjoyed working my way through this campaign and its come to a dead halt for me once again. I guess I could just skip the mission but so far I've had issues with 3 I believe so far, I'm going to skip the whole damn thing at this rate..

Haha! You were right, I thought I was paying Canadian should have payed more attention I guess. So yes plus a 29$ customs fee on top of everything else it ends up being 300$ CAD ish.

Sorry I can't give you more of a firm answer, but in the book 'Desert Storm Air War' there are several references to the A-10 pilots having a difficult time at night due to the NVG's they used being limited in the early '90's and the fact that the only way they could acquire targets was using the AGM-65D seeker infrared seeker head as a poor mans FLIR which was like looking at the battlefield through a straw. Maybe some one more knowledgeable can help, or there are some better books on the subject I haven't read but I would think the majority of their missions would have been day time attack.

Hey jonatron5, why don't you have a look at the VKB joysticks. I just purchased a Gladiator NXT to replace my TM16000 and the premium was 150$ CAD. They look like a pretty solid stick and from what I've seen they are fairly modular and you can get accessories including extensions etc. Just a thought..

Either of you guys fly whirlybirds? I'm northwest of Edmonton but I am usually flying the Huey or the Harrier. I own the 16 but I am waiting for a bit more features before I go full bore into it

Both would be cool, its going to be awesome no matter what I think! A big upgrade from what we currently have.

These type of threads always give me a good laugh. No attempt to ask for guidance or help with settings, just right to the business end of 'Im about to walk out on DCS'. I'm sure if you give some of these folks here some more info you may in fact be able to sort your problem out, especially with others saying the G2 is working just fine for them!

100% agree. If you want to enjoy the module, buy it! Regardless of what position you plan on using. That's like saying if I want to be a back seater in the F-14 I shouldn't have to buy Heatblurs module. Pony up the cash and support the devs or go play Fortnite **** sakes.

Not creating fables Flappie, someone had posted something to that effect on the DCS forums a few years ago, I was just musing that it COULD be a reason. I believe it was later sorted out to being that the code was written by a former employee and that it would take a bunch of unravelling to figure out. Like you say tho, FC3 aircraft are way down on the totem pole.

I remember reading somewhere that the source code for the lovely Su-25A was lost to ED and this may be why this small item isn't getting fixed?

Its only in the Argo Campaign where I run into these problems. I have a hunch that it is just the age of the mission files that have been affected by various open beta upgrades. I believe the campaign is a couple years old now so who knows how they handle all of these updates.

That is out of my realm unfortunately, one of these recent fixes I know nothing about haha

My pleasure, good work figuring it out from my cryptic rambling there haha!

In order to release CCRP bombs you need to use the EHSD and designate the target first. Im probably not explaining this very well as Im not infront of the game. There is a new process to drop weapons in CCRP. Theres a few good you tube vids that are short and sweet, google them and you’ll figure it out. The Harrier has been undergoing many changes in the last few months, thats why none of this stuff is in the tutorials
