Warbird_242

What would be nice is to have soldiers able to walk ( soldiers being infantry in the mission editor). If you set their speed to walking pace, they look like spacemen on the moon. Just a slight animation change so you can have some soldiers walking across the pan with tanks trundling away in the background would make it sooo much better.

Nah I prefer Digital Combat Simulator : Cessna 152 - The plane you've always wanted in a Combat sim :D

I had/have exactly the same problem. I guess that G.O.W is less realistic ( not to put the mission maker/s down - it's a great campaign ), and if you want 100%, yes, you have to kill everything on the battlefield ( you can check % with one of ; ' # I don't remember which), but you do not have to achieve 100% to progress through the campaign. If you get 50%, then RTB and quit the campaign will move to the next stage. SO I generally use my imagination and say well I've been briefed to destroy the armour, do that, and if I don't destroy a supply truck a mile away count that as a personal win. That's probably a load of B**ls, so see what everyone else says :D

Okay, I shall honourably surrender in my battle for my own thread :bash: And Hawaii - yeah that would be good :pilotfly:nice for some A 10 sightseeing/ modern day pearl harbour?? Actually on second thoughts I prefer afghanistan:D

Flipping hek! At least say why you move it moderators - you are being very annoying!

I have reposted this thing because it is not a 'wish' but it is a genuine suggestion and I am sure that others will be replying and I don't want to clog up the wish list because it is already very confusing. SO please levae it here. thanks ED. Right, as before, the idea is a map of Afghanistan, or more specifically helmand province. Perfect for the A 10, Apache, and good for the Mi 24 in Afghan / Soviet wars. What does everyone else think

That looks good but for it to work really well it would have to come from ED. I was thinking more of a full package sort of thing, possibly coinciding with the Apache release, but I visualised an integrated campaign system, one that suits the CAS mission being flown in Helmand currently.

DCS Afghanistan ( again ) and please read before moving moderators!

oh who moved it!!!!!!!!!

DCS Afghanistan Yes, this should be in the wish list thread, but I reckon that this will be quite a popular idea:music_whistling::D Afghanistan map - my suggestion would be Helmand, but that's because I'm British, and also Helmand has had the fiercest fighting recently. But anyway, perfect for the A 10 and Apache ( currently operating) fairly simple to make ( desert, mountains and the 'green' zone ) and also would be good for some Afghan/Soviet scenarios if the Mi 24 ever materialises. What does everyone else think???

In the Mission Editor, it is in the 'Briefing' menu. You can also set the date and season in the weather section. Hope that helps Warbird

In short, yes. The Boeing and Westland variations are essentially the same aircraft, the only differences being the Westland's more powerful engines and upgraded defence suite. So there wouldn't be restrictions for one and not the other

What happened to the British aircraft? I know I am not alone in thinking that some of the cold war era jets would be brilliant. Tornado GR1, Harrier GR3, Sea Harrier, and my most wanted - the BUCCANEER!!!! All fantastic aircrraft, and all, with the possible exeption of the Tornado would have info available.

Yes! I think I know what you meant - is it that you want, for example a flight of F-18s to takeoff and land on a carrier? If that is so, just create the carrier, and place the F-18s over/near to it. Then change the waypoint to takeoff, and voila!

Feurfalke - I know that haha. What I meant was that the 'frag' effect would probably terminally injure someone at the ranges I was hitting the people ( about 5m away). GGTharos - see above :), What i was getting at, though, was that I couldn't see any difference between the standard S-80 rockets and the new frag ones. Ramstein - I was thinking the same thing... JimMack - That's a clever solution actually! I will now think differently and imagine the troops diving for cover etc :D LoBISoMem - I can't speak for Russian rockets, but US and UK rockets are extremely effective aganst infantry in Afghanistan. Admittedly the Taliban will not have body armour etc, but Kevlar isn't going to protect you from hundreds of bits ( not 5kg :D) of metal. Thanks for your replies everyone, but I wanted to clarify that there is actually a differnce in effect?

just noticed something interesting. in the debriefs, several times the rockets have listed people as 'hit' but not 'dead'. I'm no expert, but being hit by burning jagged metal isn't often survivable is it?

Although there have been some topics similar to this subject in the past few days, am I alone in thinking that mabye the new Blast frag. rockets have actually decreased their effectiveness against infantry. I set up about 10 insurgents about 20m apart in total, fire a load of rockets, and the only kill i get is one that actually hits a guy. Is this me or the weapons, or is it realistic?

I love ED!!!! :D

o sorry just seen the other posts

i had one instance of that problem whilst applying about half left stick. Moving the stick fully right and back fixed the problem, but at low level it would've been fatal. At least it doesn't happen often!

ah right! That simple, eh! Thanks a lot! Rep inbound :D PS have you noticed the pilot's name? Looks like ED has a sense of humour!

Hi everyone - just a quick query. in the Encylopedia it mentions the RQ Predator as being able to carry Hellfires, but in the M/E, the aircraft can't seem to carry anything. Is this me being stupid? Thanks

Oldflyer just seen the mission 'Behind Enemy Lines', and your comment sounds remarkably relevant to that mission? Are you sure you commented fin the right thread? :D
