^^To remove the bars? Honestly, I don't think it should be that hard. It's the freaking bars! :D

I'll submit it to the Bug Tracker first thing on the morrow.

The bars are a good compromise between what is supposed to be there, and what is possible in the game. I do not think they should be removed, as their removal would limit the functionality rather than enhance.

 

Just to give you an idea of the real functionality:

 

 

 

 

 

The HDD is a HUD repetitor only in the aircrafts we have in FC (so 29A/G/S, 27 and 33)

 

Mirroring of the hud can be toggled on/off

Lack of info shouldn't neccesarily lead to making stuff up IMO. If the bars aren't there in the real thing, they shouldn't be in the simulator. If there is missing stuff in the HDD well, I'd rather have them missing then adding stuff which was not supposed to be there in the first place.

No its probably not a big deal to remove the background grid itself, but

there are quite a few other things about the HDD vs. HUD "routine" that aren't exactly right. Additionally there are differences between the MiG-29 and Su-27/33 that would require separation of the currently shared functionality in order to be replicated.

 

So rather than to make cosmetic changes along the way, I suspect that Eagle might want to save the effort for a more comprehensive "overhaul".

Not lack of info, lack of fidelity. FC3 is not "full real".

I remember posting something about general rules for a sim before. The particulars of the bars don't really matter. But if they help achieve a certain level of SA feed to the pilot that somewhat approximates the real SA feed to the pilot, then they should stay. If they are vector indicators on Soviet's pics there, then the best thing we have currently is the bars to help guestimate range. To remove them and not put in the range indictors would be taking away from the simulated ability of the datalink, and by extension, the general information/SA the pilot gets.

 

Obviously getting the real thing simulated properly would be great.... :thumbup:

[Kenan]

Well I guess I'd have to agree with both of you.. :)

[Cali]

I hope they remove them also, especially if they aren't suppose to be there. No matter what happens, someone is gonna be butt hurt about it.

[Kenan]

^^I would rather have them removed as well..but if the developers have their reason to keep them..I'm ok with that..simply because it's not something I would loose any sleep over..It was just an observation. As you said, if it's not there IRL..

Yesterday I wanted increse the Mig-29 range with one extra Fuel Tank under the wing. When I disided jettison my Fuel Tank I surprise when I see me without the Center Fuel tank too:cry:.

 

I have read somewhere about the Mig-29 under-airframe Fuel tank is not Jettison in-fly. it must be set by the ground-team ( now in our game easyly by the new rearm menu )

 

I think is better and real set the central fuel tank with non-jettison availability.

 

If the Mig-29 have short range, with this handicap will be worse and could be easy fix this trouble.:helpsmilie:

Let the russian pilots speak russian plz...................

[Glimmerman]

Would love to have the F-16 ingame.

 

I have a HOTAS Cougar and some native support for that as well as for other popular joysticks would be welcome. ( sort of liek a drop down menu where you just select your joysticks and its configured properly for all aircraft.

 

Also extra theaters like the Agean, Israel, Falklands and North Korea would be awesome.

The real problem here is that the game allows you to load only one wing droptank :) . You couldn't do that in reality as the huge weight off-set would make the aircraft unflyable - in fact the real jet has a safety feature to ensure that both wing droptanks are jettisioned simultaneously.

 

I have read somewhere about the Mig-29 under-airframe Fuel tank is not Jettison in-fly.

 

The centerline tank can be jettisoned by pushing a small button at the back of the Flight stick(grip base). Wingtanks are jettisoned separately.

SU33 needs updating.

 

Hi all

 

The SU33 is the last of the flyable FC3 aircraft that is in dire need of a new

model or at least a more detailed skin:helpsmilie:

Any thoughts or news ED?:music_whistling:

[MauganRa84]

Here here. All in good time I hope.

I just saw this video....

This is what I imagined the improved landing model n FC3 would be. So much more fun to actually care about landings. I hope ED would finally improve the FM of the standard planes to this level some day.

[Pilotasso]

I gave up watching due to the music. :cry:

[Witchking]

Lol..u r missing out. ;))

[Grim_Smiles]

I gave up watching due to the music. :cry:

 

Just hit the mute button, the music is the only audio. It's a good video showing damage models that I hope get put into FC3 aircraft.

[Witchking]

More than damage model....the wheels don't stick to runway anymore. The landing gear doesn't feel like gliding on un breakable stilts....plane doesn't sink and explode on contact if u land too steeply.

FC3 and DCS World - Suggestion / Request

 

I am a rather enthusiastic DCS World user / supporter, but unfortunately I am prevented from buying FC3 because although my FC 1.1 download from 2005 is still available from my account at lomac.ru, the original LOMAC box was lost when I moved home, long ago.

 

My suggestion is for ED to make a standalone version of FC3 not requiring someone to still have the original LOMAC installed.

 

Although I considered getting LOMAC from somewhere I gave up on this plan because I really don't want to have both LOMAC and DCS World installed on my disk knowing I will not start the first, and only because I would like to buy and install FC3 :-/

 

I'll give up on FC3 until a standalone version becomes available, but I really think it is not fair...
