This is not asking for a release date, but for when the map is set. Will the map be set? 2001? 2005? 2015? 2020? Current day? Will all FOBs in active use in whatever time period is chosen be on the map? Or will only major bases be included (i.e. Leatherneck, Bagram, Jbad, KAF)

Looking forward to plane directors!

Mine showed up today.

Yes, I flew the KW. The -10 was changed to reflect the new gross weight.

The fully articulated 4 blade rotor makes the KW extremely nimble. The KW is power limited. We often operated at max gross. Pilots learned that airspeed kept the aircraft from falling out of the sky in those environments. Operating at a 10-15% power margin. In more forgiving environments the power margin would be 20-25%. It was 5500 lbs at one point, but was reduced to 5200. This had to do with the aircrafts autorotational capabilities.

Exactly what the title says. As I recall the t-shirt you got with your pre-order was supposed out go out in February, we're nearing the end of February.

Had it bound. once I unticked the box for the press between the gun and off/safe it worked fine. It's just off because I have had that box ticked for years with no issues until yesterday.

Jumped in to play some DCS and I can't get my weapons to work. I changed the HUD to Air to Air, flipped up the master arm switch, pressed the SW cool and missile prep switches and I couldn't select a weapon. I rebound my switches and when in the assignment screen the buttons I used on my joystick lit up identifying that they worked. The only thing out of the ordinary i did was flip the master arm to training before flipping it up to arm. Any ideas?

Came here to say we needed a Bolo mission...but it's already been discussed, so I'll just leave the video I was going to post. Dogfights Operation Bolo

It wasn't common either.

3 Migs in a left turn, radar on. I didn't tell the AI to do anything, this was one the quick mission options. I believe the MiGs were focused on a flight of F-16s ahead and to their left.

No AWACS available at the time. I wasn't looking at the radar repeater, I was watching them visually.

Yesterday evening I was trying to play multiplayer, but SRS wouldn't automatically join the server (a different frustration) and I was short on time so I built a quick mission. All fighters and attack jets over Nevada, clouds at around 5,000 feet and another layer around 20,000. Mission starts, I see several MiG-29s off to my right. I climb, roll right and come level with them. I'm 10-11 miles to their rear. The flight of 4 Migs doesn't know I'm there. MiGs are in a left turn, I'm holding them at about my 11 o'clock and closing. I ask Jester to lock up the enemy ahead, "Can't do that.", I ask to lock the aircraft ahead, "Sorry boss." I slowed back because I want to use my sparrows before closing with sidewinders. I continue to ask Jester to lock the targets and I get nothing. I finally get to 5 miles and lock them myself. I usually don't have an issue with Jester, but this one has me stumped, if anyone has a suggestion it will be appreciated.

Does the anti-collision light stay on at night for cat shots? We turn either turn off our anti-collision light or will turn off the lower anti-collision light when operating on the trees to avoid the inconsistent shadows thrown by the lights causing an issue with pilots.

Really looking forward to Jester changing waypoints in Zone 5. Will Jester handle the TACAN too? Can I over ride Jester's navigation and set the waypoint/TACAN manually?

As the title says did anyone else watch the Smithsonian Channel's F-14 Episode of Air Warriors? I thought the first 30 minutes or so was pretty good, but was unimpressed with the second half of the episode. The use of Jessica Biel's Ejection from Stealth was particularly bad. I also didn't like how the episode kept talking about the great engines in the D without even acknowledging the A+/B even existed. Anyone else annoyed?

And the Stennis if you have the SC module.

That is correct the MMS was removed for the contact and manual throttle phases of flight training. The skin with the orange doors and large white letters and numbers on the side are indicative of a Rucker paint scheme.

Are you ready to not be condescending? I asked a question, I didn't ask for a lecture.

Thank you

Tell me more about this time before miles? Was it magical? Did you have to hand crank your PC to start it? You aren't the only one that has been around a while. Miles could be applied without it costing RAZBAM a thing, the miles could be something on ED's side that is used to encourage further purchases from the fan base, especially on older, less popular modules. I simply wasn't sure exactly how the miles program worked on the ED side. I know how it works on mine.

Thanks, let me clarify, do I need to delete simshaker for aviators before updating simshaker for aviators?

Hovering gets you killed. By flying towards the target you continue to maintain some movement to make targeting you harder and you maintain airspeed to provide for your own maneuverability to escape after you have made your attack. If someone else is providing your laser you may be able to use terrain to your advantage to hide, but if you are self designating you have to expose yourself to enemy fire to target and maintain your laser.

Do I need to delete Simshaker for Aviators before downloading the update?

Ok, I wasn't sure who took the loss on the module, for some reason I assumed ED. I should have known better.
