Yes, this, and also the crazy maneuvers often seen in groups of AI flying in formation. There is some real wackiness in a lot of the WW2 campaigns.

Do I recall that someone is making a campaign for it? Reflected maybe?

Storage space aside, also to consider is the impact that these liveries have on download speed for customers with less than optimal internet connections.

Isn't there an option for that already? Not at my PC so I don't remember what it's called.

Who's ever referred to gigabits of ram?

Yeah, also weird to me. They cycled the arresting hook while on the cat? I'll have to learn to do this or check the NWS light before launch, maybe by learning the hard way a few times By the way, I'm a warbird pilot at heart, and have never loved a jet like I do this Tomcat. One free trial period was all it took. So thanks for all that you do.

I don't know about others, but I don't do it purposefully. It just happens as I look around.

What is kind of startling in VR is the sudden wind noise when your head breaches that plane. Any sudden increase in noise is especially disconcerting when in a hostile situation

I typically just subtract six or seven from their stated carrier brc due to magnetic variation, and I think it works out ok that way? Is that not how it's supposed to work? Either way during landing I use tacan to get myself like 90% there, then ICLS needles and the carrier green/red lights to line myself up perfectly, so I'm not sure if tacan needs to be 100% accurate at that stage. I didn't have any issues hitting the triggers during this mission while getting on the right radial, but I'm not sure how much buffer Reflected gives the player.

That'll teach you

Isn't there a patch tomorrow? Not sure what's in it though.

Real pilots do their BIT tests during cat launches

I thought the hotfix patch was scheduled for tomorrow

Fully agreed. My takeaway from learning the Tomcat, a module that I didn't expect to love so much, is that it has many of the benefits and versatility of a modern fighter with the visceral feel of a warbird. It's a real stick and rudder plane that lacks the sterile feeling of fly-by-wire aircraft. Best of both worlds. Edit - and, speaking of rudder, get used to really kicking the Tomcat around using your pedals during close-in dogfights unless you want to repeatedly recreate the dramatic scene from a certain mid-80s action movie.

During the battle of Britain, British drivers were encouraged to drive on the right side of the road in order to confuse the Luftwaffe into thinking they were over the mainland and mistakenly land at a British airfield. To further the illusion the War Office also provided VW stickers for drivers to place over the griffin logo on their Vauxhalls and outdoor diners had their breakfast sausages cut long and twisted in a bow so that they would be mistaken for pretzels from above.

You should just be able to find the miz files in the Campaign folder, then copy them to the missions folder under Saved Games. Then browse to My Missions in DCS to open one that you want to play.

Man, I thought my wingman in an F-14 campaign was taking forever to refuel. I just ended up telling him to rejoin after a few minutes which got him to disconnect from the tanker. Fix soon? I see this thread is from April

Trying to play the Fear the Bones campaign in the open beta but the AI Hornets that take off before me (which seem critical to the mission) just immediately crash into the water Are we getting a patch for this soon? Edit - I see Bignewy's comment in the Bugs section. Thanks much.

I thought they had this issue solved in the 70s

Just my two cents for Reflected - I was able to complete Mission 1 my first try (very proud of myself though I did practice Case 3 landings a lot earlier this year) I didn't hit the tanker, and still landed with 1100 lbs fuel, so it's perfectly doable. For anyone starting this, you really need to know how to do IFR with Tacan, and also it really helps if you use the ICLS to help you line up to the carrier. Really looking forward to the rest of the campaign!!

Congrats. I'll pm you my address.

I hope your wife will be okay.

To be fair, I think that's still going to happen as an artifact of reprojection. It would be nice to be wrong, but I think this is a separate issue.

It would be nice if the cable was smoother. The existing cable sticks to everything

Any difference other than the power switch? I unplug mine when I'm done anyway. My first cable died and they just replaced it, though with the same old cable
