  1. Here here sir I agree 100% We were there and doing our thing.
  2. Now we all know it is coming soon™ but where is it? I have got a bad case of patch fever sorry everyone. Oh and as a clue the above is an airfield in the DCS universe already...
  3. I am not against the Me262 and clearly there has been an issue here over and above the aircraft not being modelled. But as an issue through out DCS not just WW2 there is a lack of real period opponents for multiplayer. If and that is a big IF the Me 262 enters the game then the Tempest would be a nice to have to face it. Of course this being a high grade simulator we could answer the great question. Let is add in the Gloster Meteor MkIII. These were deployed to Belgium in early 1945 but did not meet the Me262 in action. The Meteor III was slightly slower than the Me262 at optimum height and had only 4 x 20mm canon. However, it could climb much higher, had more reliable engines, that were easier to use. The rates of turn, climb rate and dive rates were very similar. I think a general expansion of the WW2 part of the game would be awesome. Maps, planes etc but let us all see what the future holds.
  4. Thank you that is great.
  5. It is relatively easy to add F10 menu items in the mission editor. However, I would like to do this with a script so it can be loaded once the mission loads as I can then use this on every single mission I right. Also is there an API I can reference for the Lua scripts? I am happy coding, I do it for a living but usually I have some documentation of what I am coding to and so far I have not found it for DCS. I am sure I am blind and missed it somewhere. Regards Jester
  6. I would not get your hopes up for a classic dogfighter. This is not a Turn and Burn fighter, it would however, be lethal in the bounce. Fast with lots of firepower it will bring down most aircraft with a single well aimed burst. The power, inertia and speed will carry it away from trouble. As a bomber destroyer it will be outstanding, also excellent against other heavy fighters such as the Me110 and Me410 or the Japanese equivalents'.

  8. OK, I am familiar that these are held under saved games in my user profile. However this does not appear to be the case. When I am using the mission editor they don't appear in the options for the country. I have checked the file and the countries = {"UK"} is set or no countries at all. So here are some questions. How does DCS select which folder to search for liveries from? What does the folder need to be named for a given aircraft and does it have to be the same as the one in DCS itself? Is there a log file that I can check to see if there is an issue with the liveries on application start up?
  9. The Hind is unique in that it can both transport and fight. It is multi-role, from VIP transport to counter-insurgency or attack helicopter in on the modern battlefield. Only imagination will restrict it. Personally I have none so I will rely on others to create interesting missions.
  10. Steam was showing 31st May 2021 but that is probably a place holder. It will be ready when it is ready not sooner or later.
  11. Beware the evils of being a big fat chopper and VRS! When you are close to the all up max weight it would be really easy to get the aircraft into VRS when descending at a low speed. Also I would recommend a rolling take off when you are all fat and lardy. However, once you have smite the enemy and launched some rockets and missiles, burned some dinosaur juice she will be just fine.
  12. Lateral stress on the landing gear is not good. If you find yourself coming in with a lot of sideways then either correct that with cyclic or turn towards it so the wheels roll with it. Landing sideways on a boat is about a lateral movement to be over the boat then match it's speed. Then once you are there down you go. But make sure the wheel brake is on. Nothing worse than rolling into the superstructure or worse into the sea.
  13. I am sorry to disagree but they are available on steam.
  14. Can you take a UH1 and land next to a player who has ejected and pick them up? Silly question I know but adding a little flavour to for our fast jet pilots. Good for scenario development to.
  15. I think they are scheduled for update of some kind soon.
