Moreover it is a general AI Ka-50 and Mi-24V they won't attack anything with their guns, no matter how you set up the waypoint or they just get close to potential targets. Somehow they are not able to aim their guns...

I can confirm this - and the same goes for Mi-24V - it also only moves barrel in circles and does not shoot. On the other hand the Mi-28N works well. I haven't tested others.

Sorry, no, it does not work this way, you don't use the lock button in Su-25A with gunpods - It works as follows (in 1.2.9 and also in 1.2.8) and it works very well - 1. Engage laser 2. you depress the gunpods so they point down somewhere to the ground, however the aim point is not ground stabilized (lock button does not work here). 3. The aimpoint is ground stabilized only when you press the fire trigger (laser has to be on). This means the guns will fire at a point on the ground and pods will move to compensate the movement of the aircraft only during the time of firing. 4. If you want to fire a longer burst disengage the cut/off burst switch. 5. If you want to strafe a column of vehicles with the gunpods don't engage laser. I hope it helps.

:D:D:D

I can imagine a situations in Rudel's office - Rudel drinking a cold beer just a day before release posting final screenshots for the Mig-21 hungry pack of forum worshipers. When someone actually finds a tube, which lacks a bump-map texture from the inner side ... Rudel thinks: sh1!t, now I have to redo the whole rear section of the aircraft where the tube is attached, which means new rear fuselage textures, new bump maps, new light map, new damage model, recompile the whole model, re-test the whole aircraft, send it again to ED for another testing, etc. etc. etc. - two more weeks guys, be sure :pilotfly:

Guys, you have just delayed the release - two more weeks :cry: :cry::cry:

I'd say that Christmas release of Mig is more realistic - I just hope that it is this year's :-)

That would be fantastic, since virtual patriots L-39 seems to be dead. I sincerely hope LN will pick it up.L-39 is the best training platform for Mig-21.

As I understand it, these are just inert training nukes.

BST would be the best candidate to create Mi-24 Hind as it shares a lot of components with Mi-8/17

As I understand it, the 500u-1m models and counts for dropping 268 bomblets but visually shows only 26. This means that hits are calculated for 268 bomblets, so it should be pretty efficient.

I think that Mig-21 Bis would probably closest in terms of avionics/systems to the Mig-21MF version.

One of my favorite WW2 aircraft, bring it in :-)

Did they really hint that Su-22 is coming? That would be the most awesome news :thumbup:

Thanks for your answers Sith, I didn't want to be disrespectful or something against ED - It's just my opinion - but for me it would be more logical to have 1.2.8 beta -> 1.2.8 release -> 1.2.8 release bugfix 1->1.2.8 release bugfix 2->1.2.8 release bugfix 3 ... ->1.2.8 release bugfix n ->1.2.9 open beta->1.2.9 release -> etc.

paradox is that something called beta has less bugs than something called release version, assuming no new ones were introduced of course :)

Well, the paradox here is that open beta is currently in better state than 1.2.8 release version - as it has received two patches fixing several bugs .... :huh:

I also don't know where to post bugs, which are present in beta as well as release version. Moreover we have DCS World bugs forum, we have FC3 subforum without bug forums, we have bug forums for Ka-50, Su-25T, A-10C and also third parties bug forums. Sometimes it is really hard just to decide where to post a bug and even if I do, I don't know if someone will actually see it. I would also question the existence of open beta, why keeping two separate release versions if you can have just one and patch it up with the auto-updater with several quick small patches as needed or once a week - I always thought that this was the main benefit of having online updating system. I think this would also decrease workload of the team and cause less confusion within the community.

Exactly, I have seen too many projects die on a quest for perfection, there will always be someone who will find a pin or a rivet wrong.

I am a ... ehm ... a customer ... send ME also a copy ! :)

I think there is nothing wrong, because it is not about the positions of the stick but the forces. When you press trim button it commands a zero force position, which in non-ffb stick is its center. So if you press the trim in non-ffb stick you have to put it to center otherwise you are commanding a new attitude and the Shark dives/climbs, etc if you are over the 20% AP authority.

I've flown around 60 hours in the Shark in the past two months and Shkval works just fine (it broke only once). I also have no problems with its control using a FFB stick G940, one just needs to understand how the autopilot and trim works. Sure, it has some small bugs, but KA-50 otherwise works great and is a deadly machine even in rain/night conditions.

Well, although I support the team very much as I love Mig-21 (day one backer) - I am a bit surprised about the lack of promo. After the earthquake in the team we've had one announcement and two development updates with some screens and tiny bits of info scattered here and there within various threads. Anyway, I wish Leatherneck all the best and hope to see the virtual Mig-21 flying soon.

Yes, up position is the default "on" - burst cut position.

It works indeed, if the switch is set to cut, it will only allow a short burst per trigger press. If it is set to off, you can fire all the rounds in a single burst with one long trigger press. It doesn't set the rate of fire.
