Thanks for the update. I appreciate it. Although I knew you would come through eventually. :)

I have this this happen from time to time as well. Sometimes they just won't connect air, or power and it's not because the canopy is closed, or the intercom is set wrong either. As you can imagine it makes it impossible to start up the plane when this happens.

I would also be forced to drop it if they were to switch to such a model. I would hate to do it, but I would out of principle. I have to pay enough in rent just to have a place to live and am not about to start paying to rent games too. If ED really needs a future cash flow, then they should go make a clone of those P2P arcade flight games and put the subscriptions and microtransactions on that. Use the money gathered there to fund the development of DCS World. And or charge a small fee for major version upgrades of the base software and major updates of modules.

You've got my attention. :)

Definitely will be keeping a close eye on this.

A couple of hours for me. Alot of that was familiarizing myself with the cockpit, going through the checklist and trying to tweak performance of the simulator though.

It sure is. It is by far my most flown module too. Totally worth the money. :)

Yup. Rolling back to 2.5.5. It was a mistake to update it.

Performance has dropped dramatically on mine too.

I should add that if I go into fast mission, generate and then edit the mission. Moving the plane back to the ramp and then proceeding into the game seems to work for me.

I knew it was a bad idea to update it. Arrrr...

I get this problem too. It almost always gets stuck on the map screen when choosing create fast mission. It also often freezes when trying to quit back to the main menu. Tried repairing DCS. Tried deleting shaders (for whatever good that would do) But it didn't have any effect.

I'm pretty sure I've encountered this before too. But since I started double checking the settings at the IP. I haven't seen it happen since. I figure Jester must've been messing something up after I switched out of A/G mode.

I can assure you that it does work atleast some of the time. I got myself into a spin being reckless and followed that exact advice about breaking out and it worked. The nose pitched down and I was able to regain control just seconds away from slamming into the ground.

Yes indeed, they are very stupid. A couple of days ago. On the Iran reactor strike mission. Told wingman to engage and do the mission objectives. I gave him plenty of lead time, but he veers off somewhere else instead. Then I bombed the target and left on afterburner. AI wingman is flying around somewhere else, still hasn't dropped his weapons and won't despite being told to multiple times. Once the mission is reported success, he immediately leaves the area on afterburner attempting to rejoin with a full bomb load. I had to tell him to jettison his weapons. I'm a fair bit of a ways ahead of him and then he reports bingo fuel. I tell him to go to the tanker and he refuses. So I tell him to RTB and he complies and flies off in another direction - presumably to the carrier... I go feet wet. Wingman is still back there somewhere. A few minutes later I watch as wingman reports sighting a bandit. Then an F-5 flies up behind him, shoots a Sidewinder, misses and I tell wingman to engage. He goes "unable" and keeps flying like everything is fine, even though there's an F-5 flying right behind him and which then effortlessly shoots him down with his guns...lol.

Indeed, someday I would like to go to SAM City.:)

Thanks for posting that. That's what I imagined it should look like, but was having trouble finding an actual photo of it.

It seems to work fairly well, below 10 nm. Sometimes it misses, but most of the time it works. Just don't try and use it as a BVR missile.

Be more graceful with the turns. The faster you're going the slower you have to take them. If you're hearing creaking, you're really pushing it too hard. Also abrupt movements are bad, if you don't break the wings, you'll probably break the INS.

Thanks for the update and looking forward to all future updates to the Tomcat. :)

But, but... DCS World needs to be balanced, just like that online FPS that I can't name here. It's not fair that the F-14 is a good plane.:cry: (disclaimer: sarc).

Excellent. Looking forward to the updates. :)

Yes. A key bind for this please. Like you said it's very hard to reach the buttons.

Agreed. I came for the realism.
