Thanks! Looks like you need to update the download link though.

Thank you for creating this. I would like to have a log of my training and missions. Two questions: 1) can you add the TF-51D to the list of aircraft? I would like to be able to distinguish time in the trainer version vs the P-51. 2) in a training flight with no adversaries, can I leave the enemy allegiance field blank? If not, can you add "none" to the list? Thanks!

Just a few posts up Cobra said they were working with ED to make it Supercarrier compatible. I assume that includes animated deck crew--eventually if not at launch.

We already have two Middle Eastern maps and three desert maps. I'd rather see anything else.

Can we make CoBlue's callsign "Nobody"? His RIO can be "Almost."

I'd just like to fly a Kingfisher off a battleship someday.

I also have an Index, and I do have the problem. In fact it seems like I have to readjust the fit every three seconds or so.

Mine was Jan 3. The confirmation email estimated 60 days at that time, and it's only been ~70 since then, hardly major slippage. I'm not worried yet.

I'm not very computer literate so forgive me if this is a dumb question, but... are alternate crew figures something that could be done as a player-made mod, like skins? I would certainly like to have a female crew figure.

Not at my income level. And if I did have $600 laying around, I'd spend it on Thrustmaster TPM pedals. Kit has arrived. I've washed the trees to remove any lingering mold release, and they're drying now. I'll start construction after work tonight. Caption

Interesting alternative. But given the rugged terrain and there being two other countries in the way of most land approaches, would it have sufficient ground targets for NATO attack aircraft? Especially with the Apache on the way, I'd expect any feasible choice for a "Cold War Gone Hot" map is going to be someplace where you'd expect to see a lot of Soviet and Warsaw Pact tanks.

Which interview? Do you have a link?

It is, and mine is too. But that's okay, because I want to fly the T-45 in DCS. So even if I lose, I win!

I just mail-ordered a T-45 model kit. Let's see if I finish mine before you finish yours.

And something for the fighter jocks to protect.

The SimXperience g-seat without integrated motion is US $2999, so I assume this would retail for at least as much. It would take me a couple years to set aside that kind of money, but it would be worth it. So for now, A3) I'll kick up whatever I can spare this year for the kickstarter, either just a few $$ to get updates or up to $100-200 if there's some sort of reward for doing so. B) USA C) In the introductory video the noise of the motors really stands out, so one "expectation or additional feature" that comes to mind is some kind of sound dampening or cushioning, if that's possible.

This aircraft has MFDs in the cockpit, correct? Would these Thrustmaster MFDs be a useful purchase?

I normally fly Navy, but if I could pick only one Phantom variant it'd be the Vietnam-era E. I'm tickled by the idea of flying Chico the Gunfighter. That was a... shall we day distinctive... loadout.

That's beautiful.

Amen, brother. Same. Obviously there's a lot of folks around here who like letting the jet fly them to where they lob a standoff weapon at someone who can't even see them--and your kink is okay! No judgement! But that's just not my idea of fun. If Heatblur can do both, then awesome. Rock on. But I know which one I'd like them to focus on.

I just made this using Google Maps and MS Paint. It's 600km x 500km, the same size as the Syria map. Almost made it to Bermuda, but couldn't stretch quite that far. Maybe since it's mostly ocean, a larger map might be possible? The two closeups at the bottom show airports around NAS Oceana and Nags Head, respectively.

Yes please! No disrespect to Nevada, but I would like at least one continental US map with a Naval Air Station and enough ocean for carrier ops.

Not quite the same, but I happen to have whipped this up using Google Maps and MS Paint yesterday. I'm pining for a map that covers at least some of the major USN training centers, and this one has NAS Meridian and NAS Pensacola. After I finished it, it occurred to me I could halve the width and stretch the height down to cover NAS Key West as well. Not sure if that would reach Cuba. I'll play around some more today and see what I can come up with. The size is 800km x 400km, making it just a bit larger overall than the Syria map. I was working in 200km increments because of the Google Maps scale, and you could probably lop a bit off the edges if it's too much. ETA: based on just eyeballing it, I don't think it's going to be possible to get both NAS Pensacola and Cuba on the same map, within the constraints of existing DCS map sizes. The western half of Cuba, maybe, which would include Havana.

You know, I live for the day we can sim the USS Ranger's all-Grumman air wing.

I'm generally a fan of VKB and I love my Gunfighter joystick, but I really regret buying their T-rudder pedals. The lack of real toe brakes has been a much bigger problem for me than reviews led me to believe. I'm saving up for the Thrustmaster TPR now.
