  1. Is it really a good idea to let players aim the guns on the ground units? Do the Shilkas and other air defense guns even have parabolic bullet paths?
  2. It is scary that even after so long they still have no idea what the problem is. 18% seems really low; it could anything from jet fumes to the type of detergent used to wash the helmets. Until they fix the problem; they need to enhance the on the ground low oxygen training of-22 pilots. Nevermind, just rewatched it. I doubt the chemical used to clean the masks could have caused that kind of memory loss.
  3. If you are going say 200-300 mph with 40in. manifold pressure and you are about to go into a steep dive with the minimum manifold pressure, neutral trim will likely give you much better control than what you currently have. With the reset trim to neutral command you can just hold down the button while keeping your eyes on other things, like the bogey you are chasing or the technical you are going to fire at.
  4. I just mentioned it as a tip, along with going into a high speed dive.
  5. It is advantageous to do it before going into a high speed dive, and right after takeoff.
  6. The new explosions don't look right at all; they make it look like a whole lot of thick black smoke was there before the explosion; and all the smoke that the explosion pushes outwards is just as thick as the rest; which looks wrong.
  7. Awesome, I was waiting for someone to make a thread about this.
  8. The damage seems to be ok for the ground units. Maybe the armor on some of the aircraft is higher than it was before. But I do like how the damage to the player aircraft (P-51) seems to be more of the fluid leak, wire damage variety instead of having wings or very large pieces of the aircraft just fall off. I remember in the A-10C betas when the engines would just fall off of the plane.
  9. So far, all the weapons seem less damaging than they were before, either that or the P-51D's armor exceeds the other two DCS aircraft. One time I had Zu-23 rounds hit the nose of the aircraft when I was going over 300mph and the rounds were fired from less than a mile away, and there was only cosmetic damage if that. This will probably change when engine/oil/coolant pressure/temperature gets added.
  10. Glad to hear you have taken off and landed on grass ok with the P-51. This option should definitely be in the editor for all the helicopters as well; the ability for a cold or warm start without the farp, which looks ridiculous when it is close to enemies.
  11. If not making patches means the testers and programmers have more time to improve the game then that is fine. I will just save the completely clean install for going to the release version.
  12. I am worried that offering the Su-25T for free with DCS World will give people the wrong idea about DCS. Is that too complicated to understand?
  13. Nevermind, it was the rear warning reciever that set it off
  14. I think I just got a random failure where the horn kept ringing, and the horn silence button did not work. http://www.filefactory.com/file/1rfwyfqt7rkd/n/LastMissionTrack.trk
  15. It took one of my activations. Probably because after uninstalling 1.1.2.0 I went through with RegEditX and deleted all Eagle Dynamics registry entries. Don't really care since I have 8 left.
  16. Hopefully new players who download DCS World will not think that the DCS modules are like the Su-25T.
  17. This garbage is taking up space on my SSD.
  18. So where is the patch? This looks like the full version.
  19. Speaking of which, it really would be nice to see a 3D in game kneeboard with the pilot model turned off. It would be even better if you could change it to a tablet PC in the options.
  20. So it is only called overheating if it suddenly stops working?
  21. because they overheat after being on for 30 minutes. If you had two mavericks and you could turn them on or off individually you could have a maverick ready on for < 57 minutes instead of < 27 minutes.
  22. Here is a better question: if the AGM's sensor's overheat after 30 minutes; how come there is no option to turn them on or off individually? You can only turn them all on or off at the same time. Was this added with the latest patch? For me it has never made a difference so far.
