Al-Azraq

But it's not very effective, is it?

We are going to have a new damage model soon which will include new impact effects and smoke trails. There is not much footage of it (just some screenshots) so we will see how it looks like once released!

Same issue here with the A-8 and K-4.

Leatherneck is also working in a A6M5, AI for the moment but there is enough information available to make it full fidelity module. Also Nick Grey is a warbird passionate, so I am sure that we will have more warbirds for the Pacific.

Nice! Thanks for this sneak peak! By the way, new damage model? Those impacts an puffs look much better :thumbup:

The 88 was shown and highlighted in recent trailers as well as the A-20 (in the virus sale video) so I guess they are coming but it is demoralizing how ED drop news in the newsletter or trailers and then goes dead silent. Same goes for the damage model. It looked to be really close and then boom, nothing. No ETA, no videos, no screenshots, no nothing.

At least having some players managed gunners. If HB managed to have such complex multicrew in the F-14 why not? Only issue that comes to mind is that we already have a very small player count per server, so MG slots sucking up more slots. I don't know, MP needs a loooooooot of love from ED before having a multicrewed B-17.

ED already stated in the Newsletter that they are going to introduce F-8 and G-8 variants so I am sure injection will come but only with those models.

Yeah quite annoying, I have a PS3 Eye camera on my way to try OpenTrack and see how it goes. For 20 € I wanted to give it a try.

Same for me, although this could be because I limit my FPS to 60 (TrackIR works better if FPS locked in DCS) and as I have overhead, I don't notice drops. In VR the FPS drops are way more noticeable.

It was stated at first that it would be released as a complete module and then, at the famous Kate's Reddit post, it says EA release so maybe the plans changed or it was a mistake from Kate when writing that post.

I am going to throw money faster than the 8 x .50 cal MG destroys enemies.

The bundle was removed and although I don't understand this decision (I actually think ED should make a WWII bundle like with the helis), the price for Normandy map has been decreased so now even though you have to but assets and map separately, the total price will be the same.

I have noticed hat as well yesterday in your server, it was impossible to contact tower due to this. Chanel I and II were the same frequency.

Just an update: it seems it only happens in multiplayer as I was practicing landings using the included mission and it was perfect there.

In the 2019 and beyond trailer trains were really highlighted there so I hope that means they are receiving some love.

Hi! With TrackIR you can get your head out of the cockpit. It looks bad and it also offers some advantage as you can check angles that you shouldn't be able to.

Same happens to me. I was practicing take offs with the 109 and after some tries and restarts (using Shift + R keybind) the game suddenly lost a lot of FPS only recovered by going to the menu and loading again.

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: thanks Nineline! Can't wait to try it myself, it will be a day one purchase for me. Now we need those trains fixed for MP for those nice strafing runs on them.

Hi! Any news regarding the P47? I think it was due in Q1 right?

+1 Is impossible to blow up the engine, really unfair un MP scenarios and very unrealistic. We really need a roadmap for this aircraft.

This is really nice, thanks!

I couldn't agree more. I started DCS quite recently and I am enjoying it a lot so far and out of this enjoyment (and constant sales) I bought many modules, more than I have time to learn and of course more than I have time to master. Recently I have decided to stop learning new complex modules and learn very well the F18 and F14. However, I love WWII era so I will keep buying and learning those as they come out but it takes less effort to learn the systems at least. Nevertheless, I can't keep myself from thinking how cool would it be to learn that Mig-21bis that is sitting in my hangar and get into those MP Cold War servers so I might learn that plane as well. Oh, and sit back in my Viggen's cockpit but I have to be realistic with my available time and stop hoping from one plane to other.

That's why I couldn't bring up the radio menu sometimes, thanks! How do you have the start-up procedure in your kneeboard by the way?

Don't worry with the MW-50 usage, you can theoretically use it for 10 minutes and at least in my experience, you are not going to have much temperature problems. Yes the needle will hit the max temp quickly but it will stay there. Just hit max throttle (remember to turn the MW-50 switch on) and climb, get some distance, level, get some speed and onto the enemy's 6. The K-4 was not meant to dofight, just boom and zoom tactics and its speed and ridiculous power to weight ration allows the K-4's pilot dictate the rules of the fight, you can choose when and where to fight every time whereas the Spitfire is a very good defensive fighter so do not get engaged with them. Dive into them and if you miss or he notices you and goes defensive use the energy to climb back and wait for another opportunity. If you apply this discipline you will be very hard to shoot down.
