For me there are 2 brainmelting aircrafts coming to DCS, one is the eurofighter, the other the F15e. Other than that i only would be superenthusiastic of something like a full fidelidy su30mki or similar... A superhornet would also be awesome, a gripen, a rafale, a tornado, phantom... Ok i'm easily sold [emoji14] Enviado desde mi ELE-L29 mediante Tapatalk

I don't think the amraam was nerfed in any way kinematically since the major overhaul. Its still a weapon capable of 40/50 nm kills. One thing to consider in blue flag is that only 120b are allowed there. This missile is considerably less capable than his newer brother the aim120c both in range and in CM rejection cappabilities. When doing the mental math of the NEZ you should consider reducing by at least 20/25% your numbers, that is a good ballpark figure. Meaning that for example down low the 120C is in its NEZ at 6/7nm, however the B is only when at 4nm. So many good players will defeat it kinematically in that server if they understand and respect these numbers. Enviado desde mi ELE-L29 mediante Tapatalk

I have not seen any noticeable difference between amraams in different aircrafts. Same behavior from my PoV. A different thing altogether is the beast the amraam turns into when shot at M1.5 and more, something only F16 and F15 drivers will be able to take advantage of.

I'm with you. Its true there are people more sensitive to low fps/ghosting than others, also there are FPS snobs around. I'd also loved 90 stable FPS but it is what it is. Enviado desde mi ELE-L29 mediante Tapatalk

+1 for the general concept, don't know if special units or comms equipment should be added to be more realistic Enviado desde mi ELE-L29 mediante Tapatalk

I have a question, what is exactly the thermal coating? What is it use for? Never heard of that before.

Actually its not clearly specified that is coming in today's update right? It might very well the next update after today...just wondering

Yeah, its gonna be awesome as a CAS/SEAD platform with this addition, the only drawback I have with the F18 and F16 is how little time they can loiter around a OA compared to the A10C. On the other hand their speed keeps you alive and let you escape enemy fighters so much better.

Its not common practice but it should be totally possible. Spanish air force hornet flares the nose quite a lot to increase operational hours on the airframes. Its true though that they are always land based, and are f18A with indigenous FCS and other OFP changes developed by Spanish CLAEX (kind of a weapons research center).

I would love to have some functionality, as simple as it might be possible and feasible to implement, to copy past active or recently dissapearing radio messages. Description of the feature in mind: When a radio message is displayed in a multiplayer session or single player session, normally with important information like coordinates to a target, pressing Ctrl+C or similar will copy to the clipboard the latest projected message Clicking Ctrl+V, or similar, will display that copied message either in a kneeboard page, or in projected layer (a little notebook similar to the kneeboard) Succesive presses or Ctrl+V will either overwrite the last radio message or create a new entry. As all DCS actions, it can be assigned to a HOTAS button in order to do it without taking the hands of your controls and taking out the VR headset. All this request is obviously thought for people like me playing in VR, having difficulties to take a simple pencil and notebook or either typing with the VR headset on in any of the notebook 3rd party addons already existing for DCS. Cheers,

In Spain at least Amazon recently changed the delivery date of my unit to 4/5 november. I expect similar dates for other distributors. Enviado desde mi ELE-L29 mediante Tapatalk

Which is totally fine, understable reason, as I said before, just let us know the official word on this. And btw ive never doubt ED. Whatever their decission is. DCS will continue being my main hobbie and i will keep being a happy customer :) Enviado desde mi ELE-L29 mediante Tapatalk

I'm not suggesting, i'm stating that so far ED have played the no comment game. There are reasonable reasons for that like that they want to do it but now they dont have enough resources, or maybe they wont do it, in which case they need to state it fair and square so pleople stop asking about it. Again, no conspiracies, no dark intentions whatsoever, just too silent for my taste, hopefully some ED associate will chime in and shed some light to the functionality asked.

This.

Haven`t tested it myself, but in any case 36-38 nm seems quite right to lock a F16 size target. The F16 radar should be affected by the same behavior if not even more pronounced. It's been quite agreed that F18 and F16 radar are/were overperforming at EA release, and getting detection and locking distances close to what you'd expect from an F15C Eagle. Maybe they are revisiting this.

Quite a simple theory i pose to be considered conspiracy, but ok

I'm missing mr. Wags miniupdates... Sigh Enviado desde mi ELE-L29 mediante Tapatalk

The thing is ED is not being clear about this, either the clearly state they are not implementing it for whichever reason or they state its planned for the future, but they are playing the No comments game for the moment. I guess they know they should implement at least friendly non AI planes when a L16 gateway is available but right now is uncomfortable given the sheer amounts of things in the pipeline and low price of the update.

Just turned 32. I've been around here since the Flanker 2.0 days...

In general RWR libraries is a tricky thing as in RL they are totally customizable to the appearance of new threats (or old ones) in a theater of operations based on elint input. Enviado desde mi ELE-L29 mediante Tapatalk

Mmmm my common sense indicates that given the name of the function will toggle on off the display of the overlaying map in the TAD (The color map). But I could be totally wrong of course.

I probably would not fly it a lot, and i'm more into modern stuff, but for sure I would buy it if ED made such an effort. Just saying.

+1

I would like to know what this function does or suppose to do. It seems "not implemented" for me as it does nothing with TAD SOI.

Yeah, the minimum i would expect is to see other friendly contacts and bogeys detected by an awacs or GCI radars. It would increase survivability so much in a contested air space...
