  1. Easily: Is the F-16C we have, supposed to be a 2007 USAF/ANG F-16C Block 50? If yes, should it exist in 1980s realm? If yes, then you disagree with you. :D
  2. -You would need time machine to move aircraft from year 2007 to year 1985 to be able to use it, and time machine do not exist so it's not realistic. -You would not need time machine to move aircraft from year 2007 to year 2016. It would be enough to wait 9 years and it will arrive itself. And in meantime, an airport might be constructed.
  3. It does. You can fly older airframe on newer map, but you should not be able to fly newer aircraft on older map. That's some serious bending of physics laws.
  4. The fact we are flying 2010s aircraft on a 1980s map kinda invalidates your timeline arguments. I'm sure many scientists would like to know more about DCS time-machine allowing airframes to travel back through time. That's Nobel price guaranteed.
  5. Indeed, level flight is nasty for military pilots. :D
  6. I hope they do not change it, it would block access to switches behind it.
  7. Well, it's not that F-16 A-G is completely broken, it just has some quirks here and there that makes life more miserable. Just be aware that SPI might be not in the place you are expecting to be and correct it if necessary. Yea, it disturbs workflow, but not a big deal.
  8. IMO, 1. They can adopt user models if models are high quality and performance, come with source files and user is willing to give up all rights. That way future support of the asset is secured. or 2. They can implement MP mods where clients would (temporarily or permanently) download server mods configuration. It can even be in some semi-official way where only approved mods stored at ED servers can be downloaded to ensure minimum quality.
  9. Can you fix collapsible sections please?
  10. Why would you not fly standard rate turns? That gives you 4 minutes of straight legs to work out your timing, and you can even shorten them to 3, 2, 1 minute or do full circle if you need to.
  11. Keep in mind that Wags said DCS F-18 is not entirely accurate to protect RL OPS. All problems you report might be intentional.
  12. I agree, pop-up IFLOLS should be core feature.
  13. The bigger problem is that no one seems to be working to make it better.
  14. 100% agree. Btw, it's not obvious but sections are still collapsible if you click on the gray bar with orange text - which is completely useless when it doesn't save the setting.
  15. ...I don't know what to say... I just hope it will not stay like this. Looks like 90' search portal:
  16. GB is or was Hornet pilot participating on this forum. Keep in mind that rule of thumbs mentioned are not so precise at speeds Hornet and Tomcat are holding. FAA recommends turns up to 30 degrees, ICAO to 25 degrees, so you would fly that value. Additionally, they do not care what you do as long as you maintain altitude and stay inside protected area. Standard racetrack pattern and standard entries are recommended though, and they are considered a good airmanship.
  17. No, G B explained that, I quote: " you can do any shape of pattern you like". You have turn indicator at EADI page in hornet.
  18. Wile it's not a showstopper, I think this should be addressed, so +1.
  19. Cockpit: Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\A-10C_2\Cockpit\Textures Exterior: Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\CoreMods\aircraft\A-10\Textures Exterior normals are greenish because blue channel is black for some reason, while standard is to leave it white. I'm not sure how dcs engine handles blue channel, but it doesn't really matter. Anyway, I agree with OP, lot of DCS textures contain additional channel of data that serves no purpose no matter how it's being compressed, and while we can fix it locally, IC makes life more difficult. Even worse, dds alpha channel cannot be sampled into rgb compression, it require its own set of data, so you end up with double bpp. And please, please, please, do not ever use .jpg for textures.
  20. What is standard interval for 4 ship after lead aircraft breaks?
