That was great. Here's a beer ----> :beer:

Kudos on your thinking cougar, but apparently it's not modeled in the sim, at least there's no description in the manual. On some aircraft it's prohibited since there's not enough pressure from the APU to heat wing surfaces sufficiently. But I dont know about helos.

very nice indeed !

I just saturate bomb the entire target area. Seems to work. :joystick: "Measure with a micrometer and cut with an axe"

After clearing the high hills in "over the top" mission, descended into the valley, waited for the all clear after SEAD and A2A clearing. Setup my flight in Combat spread. A volley of missiles and cannon quickly made mince meat of the two poor Mi-24's that tried to help their sitting duck armour. This was the after effect:

Personally, instead of putting a time constraint on ED, Id just like to see a thorough patch polishing up a great simulation.

In any aviation environment, reviewing a system is known as a Check, i.e. Checklist, Flight Control Check,etc... its part of the aviation dialogue To watch something as defined in Webster's Dictionary: a: to be attentive or vigilant Whereas to Check something is according to Webster's : standard for testing and evaluation With EKRAN, arent we evaluating the alert just generated and not a prolonged attentiveness to it ( makes it seem like a much longer evaluation )

is that a longbow type radar dome over the Mi-28.

. My point is not the literal translation which sometimes is not suitable, but a realistic cockpit interactive that serves the simulation best. Checking a system is what we're doing, not staring at it or watching it.

In the upcoming patch, I believe the "Watch EKRAN" audible warning should be changed to "Check EKRAN" as this is more inline with checking a system warning rather than "Watch" it. Anyone else feel this more appropriate? Or rename the whole thing to Svetlana and just keep "Watch Svetlana" all the time.

It's about time that a designer has released an exceptional simulation with the level of detail that DCS has. A definite 98% in every aspect. Love the 6DOF cockpit ! As previously mentioned I would like to see some serious AI reaction to being attacked, instead of staying in place and getting pounded in the open with no defensive maneuvering or dynamic terrain masking whatsoever.

CB's in this sim? I can barely hover land in calm winds, I wouldnt dare think introducing swirly wind shear winds into the picture !

Nice explanation Miguez !

Braden, Im with you dude, I think the immersion is second to none. Having a Flight lead speak in Russian with Russian instruments in the cockpit, makes you think you're in a Russian helo unit. That's immersion. If someone cant divest the time to learn that about the greatest and most detailed sim to date, then they 1. Cant learn the material, 2. Probably fly it in arcade mode anyway

Dudes, womble sounds like hes a frustrated teen who wants his allowance back. :pain: Dacvidania Taveresh

Rosetta Stone has a great Russian Course that'll teach ya Russian in 4 weeks? :book: Tbi MEHA Ponemaesh? lol

Absolutely unreal ! The 3d of this sim is astounding to say the least. Plus gives the HMS a realistic aspect of look and lock. If you're on the fence about a Track IR, you have to get one. Well worth the money. My setup was very jerky, but once I selected Track Clip Pro from the default vector, it all came together.

Thanks ace. Rep inbound for the assist.

Yeah its plugged in directly to the puter. No background intereference, the Heads and Tracking appear to be working in the Track IR windows. But it's just not triggering any response in the sim.

I recently got my Cougar HOTAS setup in the options screen. Thanks for the posts. Now Im trying to get my TRACK IR, and Im sorry, but I didnt find what I was looking for in the searches. So here is my question... I loaded Track IR on my puter with software etc.... (Vector Pro). So how do I make it active in the sim? I dont have any selectable lines under the Track IR column in the Options section to assign key commands. thanks

Totally agree. Maybe its something to add for the patch?

Predaeus, You're absolutely right, it was a Cobra. Im an AF type trying to do army business. I'll get it right. I took another couple screens of something that surprised me, I found another AH-1 on the ground parked with the pilot in it (as the label shows). As you can see he's behind a line of Armor, so maybe he felt safe. So after moving in fast, I slowed to a hover and picked it off. Made quite the explosion. Maybe he was refueling, dunno.

Ordered my flight to start annihilating enemy armor, while I hovered and waited for Apaches to show up on the scene. The top two screens are the Apache Kill. The bottom two are of two blackhawks trying to exit the battle. The last pic at the bottom is my message to the Apache and blackhawk pilots. SMELL IT SMELL IT, NOW TAKE IT !
