You're in luck! From the first post:

From my Persian Gulf tour:

My thoughts as well. Ideally it would be optional somehow (maybe two versions of the map to pick in the Mission Editor?) but without Mt. Pleasant it'd be very hard to land high-performance aircraft anywhere outside of mainland Argentina.

Fantastic video, Texac! Lovely shots, particularly the live fire ones.

From the more apparent ones, the Mirage HUD brightness can now be controlled, the Harrier RWR got a few fixes, and the Harrier display now isn't erroneously showing coloured feedback.

See the bottom: "Last edited by CptSmiley; 09-24-2018 at 05:18 PM." They edit that post regularly as fixes and features become ready, it's worth checking on it every now and then to get an idea of what to expect.

Resized it for you :) There also seems to be a problem with the RWR power button, when assigned to a keybinding.

I'm down for any Mirage III variant. My favourite is Mirage IIIE family, but the Mirage IIIC line would also be fantastic.

It's not a hard deck violation if nobody sees it!

The IIAF was cleared to order and receive the AIM-7F, but they opted for the Phoenix as they felt it was a better solution.

From what I know Iran simply didn't order any AIM-7Fs to use with their Tomcats, and instead loaded them with missiles they already owned for the Phantom during wartime. The original order only included Phoenix missiles.

Looks about right to me.

I'm not entirely sure, but the difference between the F-5 and the F-86 might be because the F-5 has two mostly independent armament circuits, one for the underwing and centerline pylons, another for the wingtip pylons and guns. If the Saber only arms guns, it would explain why there's no tone.

The program you're looking for is called 'Tacview', and there's a free version with all the functions you'll need in the beginning at least. I haven't honed my MiG skills to their finest yet, but what I did notice in both flying it and fighting against it is to keep your speed and under (almost) no circumstances pull too much on the stick during a turn. Like any delta design, that'll make your whole wing an airbrake and leave you out of options. The supersonic hit and run seems to be the best option, but if things develop into a knife fight the R-60 family has very short minimum range and turns on a dime so use that to your favour.

To those who voted no, go on YouTube, search for Wings Over Vietnam AFAC. The Skymaster is a phenomenal plane for observation and light attack, while also filling in the role of civvy utility.

Good stuff Blinxis!

That looks really nice!

True for instant missions and airquake, maybe true for simpler campaigns and missions, absolutely untrue for well-made campaigns like baltic_dragon's. There probably will be some kind of interfacing where you can tell JESTER to push button X or dial in the frequency yourself. I hope there will be some automated calls though - much like proximity triggers take-off or landing clearance messages from the tower, it would be great if JESTER could request those and call the ball with the proper state.

It's just a mistranslation of a speech from the deputy defence minister. Here's a less sensationalist one. Seems like they want to refine it a little more before building a whole air force out of it, which is a sound idea.

From a player point of view, unfortunately the 2.5 update has more or less killed most of multiplayer for me. I'll preface that my system specs are up to par, and I keep settings rather conservative to make things smoother rather than prettier. The main issue I've found is the very long connection time to the server, and the subsequent wait of five to fifteen minutes before I am able to actually click an airfield/aircraft on the list without crashing the game. At times the connection flat out fails and I end up in the main menu again. This sometimes becomes a cycle. Because of work and education commitments, there's simply not enough time in the world to spend up to 1h staring at loading screens and restarting the game before getting any flying done, and because of that I've put 100% of my online gaming time into Il-2 Sturmovik as it presents a more reliable return for time invested. The instability and loading times are even worse if the server is populated or uses scripts heavily, but please understand that while these factors can and will sometimes exacerbate the problem, it is a problem that exists as part of the game, and that is the part that needs attention. Server owners, I'm sure, are happy to work together with you to bridge the gap between development and practical application, make sure to use that.

Fantastic work so far, nicely done!

Salsam, don't worry. There will be the manual at first, then Chuck's Guide later on, and a host of helpful YouTube series will pop up after a while. Flying RIO will be so much fun.
