Snappy Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) Dear Reflected Simulations, first of all, thanks a lot for this fun and very immersive campaign! It's proving quite challenging but very enjoyable due to the great atmosphere you and Bio created for it. One minor gripe with it. I just finished mission 3 only, but I think in the first three missions already there are C-17s flying around as general AI traffic and sometimes Jester even spots them and calls them outw,which is a bit immersion breaking, since the aircraft didn't exist at the time. Maybe you could remove those and replace them by something like C-130? The campaign takes place in 1987, the C-17 had its first flight in 91 and entered service in 95, so this really is misplaced. I know you can take era-coherence only so far, and nellis ramp , plus some other stuff probably is not really like in 1987 but this one should be easy to replace.

Reflected Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Hi Snappy, Thanks for the feedback. I used them as airliner replacement. We have no airliners in DCS and the C-17 is the closest. I'm not sure why Jester is calling them out. Set the scanning distance to 15 miles and he'll shut up Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set the scanning distance to 15 miles and he'll shut up Hey Reflected, thank you very much your reply. I understand the idea of wanting to emulate some overhead civilian traffic. How about taking one of the military 707 derivate versions like KC 135 or Awacs aircraft as stand ins? They are actually pretty close to the actual Boeing 707 airliner that flew back then. Or as another alternative, even if less similar the B-52? I mean, if they 're just meant to be able to fly high enough and produce contrails for the setting , those should work well.

Reflected Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 First I tried tankers but then they act like tankers too which can get confusing. They all show up in the radio menu. So the C-17 was the most ‘harmless’ to the missions. As soon as we get real airliners I will replace them though, I promise.

Reflected Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Yeah, but Jester will still call them out as such. At the moment I wouldn't replace one workaround with a different one, it just wouldn't have enough added value. As soon as we get airliners, I'll put them in the mission.
