In my opinion if it were all female models in DCS I wouldn't even notice, I'm not here for that, I'm here for aircraft simulation. To me all the human models don't even have a gender, I don't even look at them that way, to be honest until I saw some of these threads I didn't even notice that. F-16 and F-18 that I fly in are aircraft and they are always referred to as "she", same goes for ships, ships and aircraft gender is female. Did you notice people asking ED to make a male F-16 aircraft? Ofc you didn't, cause we don't care about that. Therefore I'm happy we can fly these beauties and enjoy the scenery, as for ED keep up the good work and bring us more toys in the future.

I'm not a fighter pilot but I work in maritime industry and I've spend some time on the sea, when it comes to waves, there is something called "dead sea" it is waves reflecting from shoreline from a yesterdays bad weather, those waves we call deep waves, they are massive and usually below surface and you can only see the small portion of those waves rolling on the surface, then on top of those waves that go in some direction there are surface waves that can go in completely different direction depending on wind ofc. Those surface waves would give you that sense of going fast or slow, depending on your direction towards the wind, since carrier is usually heading into the wind for carrier ops, these surface wave should head in the carriers bow, and recovering aircraft nose, thus giving us the sense of going fast.

In the flight sim part of the video the waves are moving in the same direction the aircraft is moving thus making you feel you are moving slow, if they were moving in the opposite direction like in the real life part of the video you'd have a different feeling. But when you land on the ship they do move in the opposite direction of the ship movement, so maybe adjustment is needed.

Or use the search function on the forum:

Working fine on my end, went up vs SA-6 and it beeped, did you remove mods etc?

And yet best selling aircraft are from the modern era. Where did you get that idea? many ppl love modern tactics, BVR and long range SAM engagements. JDAM, JSOW, LGBs working with TGP to find targets communicating with JTAC etc. Many ppl are not voicing out on the forums. Maybe you got the wrong impression of things.

To add to this discussion, our HARM should explode above the emitter (real world HARM apparently has more fuze settings, explode on impact or proximity fuze) damaging the antenna only, in this video around 2:14 there is a mention of a proximity fuze: As for EWR, they operate at lower frequency than HARM or HTS sensors can detect, so you won't see it as an option to target or attack with HARM.

From the manual page 105: Steerpoints 26-30 are reserved as markpoints but can be used to display MGRS coordinates as well. These steerpoints can only be entered or modified using the Lat/Long coordinate format, and cannot be converted from MGRS. However, they will display the equivalent MGRS coordinate formats on the MARK DED page for reference.

I can only guess what happened since there is a lack of info, this doesn't happen on my end. My guess is this: When you press MSL Override you get FCR on your left MFD and SMS page on your right MFD (if you haven't configured it earlier), so with that configuration pressing DMS DOWN will not do anything and SOI will stay on FCR, pressing DMS UP will select the HUD as SOI. If you select HSD on your right MFD and press DMS DOWN SOI will move to left MFD. Also check your bindings too. But next time if you make a bug report read this before:

Nice video, didn't see that one yet. There is also one with explanation:

Off course they read and listen to wishes, some of those are doable some are not yet doable or not at all doable, then if a whish is doable it ends up somewhere on the priority list, and if it is not a hard task to do it, it is done first and someone can say his/her wish came true, other wishes that are very complex and take time to do are being done and we just have to be patient and wait. The problem ED has with replying to these wishes is that people that wish for stuff will take that grain of sand (EDs reply) and make an elephant out off it, then it will escalate etc etc. Or maybe they are working on some plane/heli or feature we are wishing for but don't want to reveal their plans too early since projects may fail and then they got their user base disappointed, so better to keep quiet till they are ready. I just made a few examples but there are tons of reasons why they keep quiet, and I don't mind them doing that cause I completely understand.

Paveway III can glide more than standard Paveway II, so it can be released further away from the target, but if you don't lase early it will just drop like a regular bomb, the late lase will make it go off boresight of the bombs so it won't catch it and its wasted, so you have to adjust your laser time according to the altitude and range to target, anyway you don't have to start lasing as soon as it releases, but sooner then with paveway II. Practice with it to figure out when to lase etc. btw, I know it does feel strange when falling I think thats been reported and they are still investigating.

Yes, even AI would be great start ;D We could maybe get Marine F2 variant, but it is hard to find unclassified documentation or how the systems work. F1 variant is basically barebone and only AA, with no AG capabilities. To be on pair with f-16 or f-18 we would need F3 which is impossible I think. Or they would have to make franken Rafale then;P

If december 2000 is new to you... we are not talking about F4 version here ;D

Well there are few steps you don't need or you can do differently here: 1. BATTERY ON then to Main Power, don't need ground power. Then hit Start2 to start up the jet. 2. First turn on the avoinics then INS to STOR HDG and MIDS to ON 7. You don't need 10 btw, wait till it starts blinking ALIGN, then its ready. But the longer you wait the more accurate it gets. 10. Don't rearm while alignment is in process any aircraft shake will mess it up.

CDG should go with it for sure, and the battle group too, maybe some AI - Super Etendard, Breguet Atlantique, they use E-2C Hawkeye too.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see tape upgrade to M5.2 or M6.2 even and more weapon choices on our Viper like EGBU-12, GBU-39 SDB and GBU-54 LJDAM. Improves IFF and Link 16 would be great too, not to mention GCAS Currently, our Viper feels like its missing some of the features, HSD seems bare bone, not much we can do with it except select STPT, send SPI data, and PDLT, CNTL page on various weapons don't have all features implemented, Radar also some stuff is not finctional etc. I'd love to see that stuff implemented first. They maybe upgrade to tape M5.2 or even M6.2 in the future as Viper 2, who knows, I'd love it to happen. The more modern we can go the better.

I'm pretty sure we have tape M4.2+.

I thought it says "...and beyond" in the title. Thanks.

It would be nice to have the option but I guess it wont happen cause ppl would probably start selling them and sale of modules is not allowed by the End-User Liscence Agreement.

Nice work, hope to see this done by ED, would really make things more interesting.

Yes it is a good question, I know I heard few times in some interviews with Viper pilots that they can input, on the SMS, page while in SIM mode as if they had weapons loaded so that the onboard computer thinks they have weapons under the wings and lets you use different bombing modes and modes related to specific weapons. That's why SIM mode is there I guess. ED should check with SMEs if possible.

Just stop asking for dates... it comes when its ready. Every day we are one day closer to it:P

Already reported:

Thanks, it doesn't seem right that if the aircraft is making level attack run that the release angle should be anything but 0. My impression was that we should set a release angle for LOFT attack and 0 angle should disable loft que. In any case the release zone goes away then appears etc, its confusing.
