Any word on the Kidd? And the possibility of updating Duncan with the edited lua provided from one of the forum members

Is there a Forum post for that mod?

As a mod? If so do you have a link? also I nice to see more British ships being added, I’m not British but it is nice to see more diversity compared to literally US ships and Russian ships, now we just need more ships from countries like German, France, Spain, and The Netherlands for a combined joint Carrier task force (I think that’s the right term when multiple countries are escorting one countries Aircraft carrier EG US carriers escorted by some US ships along side NATO collation ships)

Any updates on this mod?

Looks really good

I see your point with the 8g of ram, and when the world engine is released I feel that map making should be made available to public but has to go through a submission process before it can be added to the sim. Ether way I would still like to see the PG map extended for those ultra long missions where s*** hits the fan and your bingo fuel all the way up near Kuwait and the current closet friendly airfield is Al Dahfra. Kuwait, Qatar, The Saudi Arabian coast, and the Iraqi Coast would be a nice edition to the map of they could find a way to still keep it around the 8gb of ram area

I mean this can be done with a custom livery eg: you have a permanent name tag not changeable unless you edit the livery, but I see what you’re asking for and it would be cool so you could have a custom name tag on any livery setup for it.

@joojoo technically this would just be a static unit, preferably one you can place statics on, however when a ship is in port they do not use their anchors and instead are “tied up” to the dock, and ships rarely use anchors eg: when Liberty of the Seas is at a port like grand cayman where there is no true cruise terminal/dock the ship keeps her engines running (technically her engines are always running as they only power generators effectively making her engines just huge generators, as her propulsion system is electric) uses her propulsion to keep her relatively in the same place, However Cruise ships have been anchoring up due to the fact that they aren’t sailing with passengers due to covid and don’t need to run all of their engines as they don’t need as much power. Regardless it would be a nice Edition to see that but when and why would you use something like that at that point you might as well just not put the ship in the sim, but regular ships tied up would be nice for a port strike, but the extra ascetics aren’t necessary and frankly are pointless.

Personally I would like to see The Persian gulf map filled out, with the parts of Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq, and the rest of Iran included, just the parts of those countries you can currently see in the F10 map. Would definitely make the Persian gulf map much more filled out. I would also like to see a Vietnam map as we get More and more Cold War aircraft. Although a map including Iraq up to Baghdad and all of Kuwait and part of Northwestern Iran, probably would be Called the Arabian Gulf. A map including Most of Isreal, Jordon, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt so from Haifa-Amman-Al Qurayat-Tabuk-Qena-Cario to Alexandria probably call the Red Sea map or like the Suez Canal map idk, would be cool to have all of Israel including Jerusalem and most of Jordon, some of Saudi Arabia, and some of Egypt. Not sure how much conflict takes place there but would be a cool map to have but a map including Iraq would be more practical.

@Raptor9 you could set that up with triggers, | 1 once | when unit (CH-47) in zone , when unit’s (CH-47) speed less than | activate Flag 1 | | 1 once | when time since Flag 1 = eg 120 (it goes by seconds) | group deactivate (CH-47), group activate (group name for units like infantry etc. I think you might be able to add statics IDK), Group Activate FARP CH-46 (set this unit to start uncontrolled and under the x with circles add command Start) | | 1 once | when unit out of zone (AH-64) | Activate Flag 2, Deactivate Group (Infantry etc.| | 1 once | Time since flag 2 = 120 | AI Push task start (CH-46) |

Don’t think DCS is that advanced

I forgot about the beta, however what I meant by the EFM is not out is the fact it is not out to the public yet

A-4 EFM is not out at least that’s what I heard last

@Snip3rDefine stealth, they can change the RCS (Radar Cross Section) which is what Grinnelie did for the f22 Changing the RCS can make it “stealthy”

Cool, will the elevators work with the initial release? Also does that F-35 you linked allow you to fly it?

The As converted to Ds and the F-14s produced as Ds out of the factory had a version of the AWG-9 that could use the AIM-120s (the APG-71) However the Aim-120 was never fully integrated into the F-14 fleet mostly due to budget cuts. I might not be totally accurate, feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.

What’s the ETA for release? Can’t wait to try this with the Free trial period Don’t have the harrier but imma take advantage of this period and try it out with the harrier

Well it seems that they have found a work around as it supposed to be locked behind SDK, unless there’s been a work around or it’s no longer locked be hind SDK which I doubt

Also I noticed in the video that the F-35 dosen’t stay on centerline

Jeez that was fast

Yeah it dosen’t have tomahawks I swear it did

Duncan has Tomahawks as well right?

@Quertior would you be able to add the Aster 15 what missile would you use for that?

Also did some digging the does your USS Hawaii the unit should be named Virgina Class Block 1 and the Virginia class can launch Tomahawks as went just not as many as the 4 converted Ohio class subs

My bad on the Ohio is does have 4x torpedoes, in my opinion the Torpedoes aren’t that useful I’ve tested the Type 093’s torpedoes and they act weird they start acting like a snake swerving left and right about 5nm out from the enemy ships and dosen’t hit a sing ship
