  1. Why is basic stuff like button mappings STILL not fixed after all these years? This shouldn't even be something that needs fixing, it's something that should've been implemented properly from the very start.
  2. Apparently "before" is too hard to type for some people. Low effort post anyway.
  3. I used this image as my user theme background. I think it looks really cool:
  4. You mean the texture files? I believe those are the `carrier_*` files in `CoreMods\tech\USS_Nimitz\Textures`.
  5. I was wondering about the same. Probably something that will be coming in the near future.
  6. That's a great write-up, thanks for taking your time to post it! Definitely agree that this should be stickied. I think rarely is there a thread that fits so well into a subforum.
  7. I don't really find it any harder. If anything, I'd say it's easier - the carrier is larger, you get instructions on what to do, you get the lights so overall I've been landing the Hornet pretty much every time (have had one WO out of about 15 landings). Two things I don't understand though are: 1) Every single landing rating gives me [bC], which apparently means "no ball call has been made". Is that something I need activate from the F10 options? If so then at which moment. because there is nothing during any of the legs apart from the standard ones. 2) Another combination that I keep getting is "EGTL", which is "pulled throttles back to help set the hook for arrestment" + "to land". I get it even if I glide onto the deck with a bit of gas without chopping my throttles. Any idea why that would be? Am I supposed to give full beans just before I hit the deck? There's a risk it would flare the nose if I did it too early so I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do.
  8. Looking good, about to install your mod and have a play with Harriers. Do you have any plans on doing HMS Invincible too? That was the carrier that hosted the 801 squadron during the Falklands war (HMS Hermes had the sister 800 squadron) for those that don't know.
  9. I never use it. It feels overly bright and I can't read any text on it. In addition to that it's hard to see it behind the stick.
  10. Looks great! You should do this for all other modules :D
  11. Don't work for me either. Probably lost in the sea of bugs and missing features.
  12. I think you're missing an opportunity with this big sale going on. I understand the thinking around not wanting to devalue your product so early in its life cycle but, if you look from the point of view of a customer, there are currently several ED aircraft to try (and eventually buy) and then there are Heatblur modules that we can't even test. I have personally installed almost all modules that ED are offering at the moment to help me make my mind up when it comes to purchases. As we all know, there are a lot of quality modules to choose from so if I end up buying one or two or three then that's me pretty much set for quite some time and I won't even be thinking about buying F-14 any time soon. If you offered your modules on free trial, however, it could have been your product that I buy and not someone else's. Niche market or not, you have to remember that $80 for one plane is a lot of money. In fact, it's more than any AAA title on its release day. I'm a software developer myself so I understand the costs very well but even I cannot justify spending so much money based on pictures or YouTube reviews. I'm sure many will disagree but I think you would be selling far more units if you lowered the price and didn't stick to the current pricing policy. I guess it's always the "sell more for less" or "sell less for more" choice. I as a customer obviously prefer the former one :) Either way, I hope you rethink your policy before this sale ends and give us a nice surprise when the two weeks of 50% discounts come so that you don't miss out on some potential sales!
  13. I'd like the existing ones to be finished first.
  14. Where did you find the NATOPS manual? I've been looking for ages but couldn't find anything.

    Hours

    Why are you aiming for 10 landings an hour? You'd be constantly taking off and landing without ever doing anything else.
  16. You could look up to the top of the list of topics in this subforum - there are two threads stickied.
  17. Those two campaigns are unfortunately those that had discounts last week. Should've posted this earlier :/ Thanks for the suggestions and explanation though! That is one map I unfortunately don't have. Really wanted to buy it but I had already bought a lot so decided to get it next time.
  18. Hi all! Long time lurker, first time poster here. I got into the game a few weeks ago and ended up buying Flaming Cliffs 3, F/A-18C, AV-8B, F-16C, the helicopter bundle and the Persian Gulf. At this point I've semi-mastered (or rather have mostly learned) the systems on Hornet and Harrier so should be able to do some actual missions and/or campaigns. With that in mind and seeing the 50% discounts on campaigns - which ones are actually worth getting or considering for the aircraft that I have? Is anything that's discounted on Steam any good or should I just play the stuff that comes with the modules (haven't started anything yet)? Quite a few of them have bad reviews so not sure what to think. Thanks in advance all!
