Affirm, everything is fine then. Glad it's accurate then, I didn't want to see a FM cheat exploited was my main concern. I get the feeling that the real life Tom could probably turn better at higher speeds w/ the wings open like that due to the additional lift at the expense of roll but it was probably never done bc it's a complicated manual over-ride process and the CADC in the Tom probably didn't take in AOA data either for maximum turning ability at higher speeds.

I agree; I don't use flaps when fighting anyways. And I'm only trying to make notice a possible FM miss if it is indeed missed by the HB team at all... Either way, my test was pretty basic - fighting the JF17 in the Marianas mission was a lot harder in auto wing and a significantly easier with the wings in mechanical forward override. I was able to pull the jet above 400knts with the wings wide open - I am pretty spot on with AOA and achieve about 15 units as desired since the only jet I fly is the Tomcat so I didn't break the jet at all. Having said that, I'm not a very good dogfighter and that Marianas JF17 BFM mission always caused me problems until I tried the manual override which made that mission super easy...I could beat it in a 1 circle super easy which wasn't possible in auto-wing. My point is that I'm trying to see if the jet is supposed to break earlier with manual over ride while pulling hard at over 400kts and if this was an FM oversight by HB, which I'd prefer to be corrected if it is (ie, I'd rather the break the jet then have the jet be unbeatable.) I don't know about GRs videos, I don't watch that channel.

In recent Growling Sidewinder videos with the Tomcat, he has kept the wings manually overridden in full extend for BFMs and has found a little bit of a turning advantage over his adversaries. I tried this myself and do find that it turns a bit better...but as far as I know, real life Tomcat pilots didn't really do this, probably for good reason. My question: Is this an FM exploit? Is this accurate? Personally, I'd prefer accuracy (a'la flaps damage...) rather than exploiting a cheat to win...so if damage is to occur, I'd rather have the damage then a buffed Tomcat (which I appreciate the fact that HB has valued accuracy as well in the past). TIA!

Doing what he loved...RIP Snort.

Rejoined with Gator, got the script from BIO about going thru the debrief and did the landing checklist with Jester and landed in formation with Gator... Yep, 100. I'll try a repair...will I have to fly it again if I advance from the mods folder or will it advance afterwards? Love this type of campaign so far...if I can advance, lol.

Hi, I've flown the first mission with Gator 3 times now and every time I've knocked Gator out of the sky and then landed at Nellis...the mission shows as "complete" at the end and then when I click "end mission" the game forces me to redo Mission 1 again. How do I advance?

Help! out of nowhere, my Lib 2.1.0 won't work anymore...it does the quick black screen flash and then it goes blank. I've deleted my saved game file and I've replaced the mission-script.lua from the resources folder in the Lib 2.1.0 file and I'm running it as admin, no luck :( It was working fine 3 weeks ago when I last hopped on DCS.

I've set the time to T+0 and added a client slot for myself but I end up waiting forever to fly a mission in 2.1.0....not sure if it matters, but the plane in question is the F14B. Any suggestions or ideas to fix this? Thanks

Great insight, thank you. Came across this photo on FB - is this your old steed @Victory205 ? Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

Is the 54 still borked with TWS-A? I can't hit anything right now with a 54 in multi-bandit engagements, even inside 35mi... Nothing i do seems to work. Really frustrating. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

That's awesome, I'm in DFW - I'd love to fly these skins! Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

NP - I was losing anyways, lol. Is there a place to donate for this amazing work?

Thanks for all the hard work Khopa. I backed up and saved my liberation_save RC9 file and then downloaded .10 and tried to place the old saved RC9 saved file back into my User/Saved Games folder, but it does not see the .liberation file. How do I continue my rc9 campaign in .10?

Just flew my first mission - this is awesome...the first dynamic campaign I've tried (DCE, TTI, etc) that truly felt dynamic but where you can also control the air war...super cool! Out of curiosity, what are some of the ways to improve frame rates in VR? It's pretty bad for me - probably unavoidable with the current state of DCS but thought I'd ask.

I really don't understand what you're trying to argue at all. Are you just arguing for the sake of argument based on internet searches against an actual Tomcat pilot'd experience...that included a deaths of someone he actually knows? Let's just grasp reality for a second and remember the fact that like most in here, you have zero real hours in a Tomcat and he has 4000, which makes him infinitely more qualified than your Google searches. Not to mention it it wasn't for SME experiences like him being passed along to Heatblur, we wouldn't be living out our Top Gun fantasies. Sometimes, it's better to listen then to wait your turn to speak again. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

Thanks for the response.. This is Tomcat Over PG. I'm not sure, I don't see any other files but before this error, it seems to have been plying fine and my missions were progressing well.

Hello, had a great mission but when the cmd screen popped up at the end, i pressed "y" to continue the mission then "1" when it required "s/m" for single or multiplayer. The cmd screen said invalid and shutdown... Do I have to fly the mission again? Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

Just learn how to fly within the limits of the air-frame by the visual shaking of the air frame and be gentle on the stick. After you do, you'll rarely break the wings AND it'll fly better too. You'll find very little on this forum that will support this idea because of HB adding an artificial limiter because their goal has been to make this to feel as real as possible.

I really enjoy reading your insight on the Tomcat along with some of the little tidbits on some of the pilots you know within the your community as well. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

Huzzah! That allowed me to create the first mission...thanks @Eagle_01! Looking forward to trying this tonight.

Thanks for the help Eagle - a bit of a dunce moment here, but I don't see a "ScriptsMod" folder. I do see a "DCE_Missionscript_mod folder tho, do I rename it to "ScriptsMod" and copy it into SavedGames/DCS/mods/tech/DCE?

I cannot for the life of me get Firstmission.bat to run...help please. I get the following error. Z:\DCS World OpenBeta\bin\luae.exe: cannot open ..\..\..\ScriptsMod\BAT_FirstMission.lua: No such file or directory C:\Users\UserName\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods\tech\DCE\Missions\Campaigns\TF-68-Tomcat-80s>

Glad it helped. I have my ACM switch on a joystick bind which does 4 actions at once... Including the boresight mode. So I'm glad you were able to go one level deeper to figure out the root cause. Part of the fun is figuring out if it's user error or bugs [emoji23] Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk
