MBot Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I already brought that up a couple of times and I am pretty sure it is noted. But I guess it can't hurt: Volume Fire, the primary technique in the US Army to engage air targets with visually aimed guns (such as rifles, machine guns and IFV autocannons). http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/policy/army/fm/44-8/ch5.htm 5-6. To engage aerial platforms effectively, you must follow some basic rules. The first rule to follow is to use a technique known as volume fire (Figure 5-1). [...] One of the most important points about volume fire is that once the lead distance is estimated, you must aim at the estimated aiming point and fire at that single point until the aircraft has flown past that point. Maintain the aiming point, not the lead distance. Once you start firing, do not adjust your weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericinexile Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Go ahead and admit that you gave us a perfectly good CCIP pipper. No mention of it anywhere but it's there and is a great aid for dropping KGMU PTABs.

ericinexile Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 My wish as well. But my other wish is that participants on this forum wouldn't be so closed minded at times and, before ridiculing a participant, attempt to verify/dispute his claim by booting up DCS and flying. The manual isn't always right. Oh well, that's not what this thread is for. I like the request for non-circular trigger zones. Also, just as wpts magically make their way from the editor to the ABRIS, why not have lines drawn by the player on the editor also migrate to the ABRIS?

ericinexile Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 The ability to get in pit at a point in time earlier than mission start. For instance, let's say mission time is 12:00. At that moment the triggers begin, random units are generated, and bad guys start flying. Having a "T-minus" feature allows a pilot to set up the ABRIS, Modified TPs, Datalink Points and make other preparations as he sees fit before all the mission generated metal starts flying.

Arrowhead Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Oh, and I think it would be great if we could have some of the low fidelity aircraft from LockOn ported to DCS sooner rather than later to function as place holders but with limited clickable cockpits. No official campaigns/missions required. Just something to spice up the multiplayer. :joystick: Windows 10 64bit Intel i7 9700K Corsair H80i v2 Hydro Cooler EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti XC Ultra 32GB RAM ASUS Z390 Maximus XI Samsung 970 EVO 1tb NVMe Solid State Drive EVGA Gold 1000w HTC Vive Pro VR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uhoh7 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 OK here's a simple one (maybe). Could we get some small bridges as static objects? Something which would allow vehicles to cross the mountain streams when offroad. This could really ehance some missions: for example a column is coming dwon a mountain road. Pilot takes out bridge. Column stops. Pilot takes out vehicles. Third vehicle's death activates new column which is set to move offroad accross stream on bridge (also triggered to appear on death of third unit). Alternately perhaps like we have "offroad" pehaps we could have an "over water" type way point for vehicles, for this same purpose.

MBot Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I like the idea of crossing water. Would be nice for tracked vehicles to cross (ford) the small streams at reduced speed and for fully amphibious vehicles to swim across the large rivers.

-Nighthawk- Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Thought I may as well add my wishes / suggestions in this topic :) - Multicore Support (if DCS wants to be future proof I would start focusing on at least quad-cores, instead of just dual cores, makes it easier for later engine updates) - Intelligent AI(not ones that run into me on the runway ;) ) - Touchup the damage model (instead of just "blowing up" when you do something wrong I want to at least see the helicopter hit the ground and most of it being still together not just a big pile of flames) - More realistic sounds (compared to the real aircraft where the sound is a bit off, and also when clicking on the switches not all make the same noise) - More radio commands (such as maintenance options for a quick repair etc.) - Ability to get in and out of the aircraft (self explanatory, I would like to get out of the aircraft and run around then going back in and flying again) - Start the mission outside the aircraft (proberly won't happen, but I'd always love to start the mission outside the aircraft in a debriefing, one of my most wanted features a flight simulator has yet to implement) These are mainly just wishes, but above all ED NEEDS to have better support for multi-core processors if it is to upgrade the engine, which it will.

bogusheadbox Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I would like the ability to activate a up to 5 triggers via the comms menu. (allowing players to call in support/other action when they think they are ready, allowing for player error/intelligence when asking for said action) I would like to see an ability to repair the Laser in the maintenance comms menu as an action to be chosen like refueling and changing armourment. (would alleviate the need to respawn or wait for 3 minutes for a brand new aircraft in cold and dark state - and possible keep the boards clearer of whining.)

Lancelot Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 (edited) I would like that if you release a printed manual for buying, it will have the database included. It become very tedious and uncomfortable to exit and enter the mission editor several times to see what it is each object that you can put on a mission. When you are not familiar with all the vehicles, ships and weapons, a good printed database for building missions becomes very very handy.

I haven't looked in to it, but would it be possible to extract the images of the units within the encyclopedia and from that make a list, its hard work to place every unit in the mission editor and take screenshots manually for every unit?
