Thankyou for the New Marianas WWII map its great. ( it was a 4.3 GB download on Steam )

Just a couple of quick notes -

1. At present the Narrow Gauge Sugar Mill Trains are just baked into the Islands Map at the Sugar Mills.

2. I cannot find the new Steam Locomotive or Sugar Train Wagons in the Mission Editor lists to place as User placed Trains or Static Objects.

3. Im not sure if ED have overlooked including them in all the excitement ? 

4. The Railway Tracks are active and great for supply trains etc.

    The Full size DCS Trains can be placed and will Run ok on the tracks but will upset the Emersion Somewhat due to their size and wheel gauge.

5. Its not a big problem - I have a fully animated 0-6-0 steam Locomotive i hacked together that needs the wheel gauge adjusted for the Marianas WW2 Map i will see if i can sort it out into a Suitable Narrow Gauge Steam Locomotive and also 4 wheel Sugar Mill wagons for Marianas over next few days.

You can see what im talking about see the Marianas Track Gauge in the picture with My Standard Gauge Garret Loco on it.

Thanks again for a great WW2 addition to DCS !

 

 

Who needs a model railway in your attic (taking up all that space and your wife nagging you), when you have DCS?

Hands up who thought they were in a hangar when they first spawned into the Corsair cockpit 

Folding wings.  So cool!  The detail is incredible.

With this patch overall performance is really good, I was finally able to run a TTI Bagram mission without major stutters. Thanks ED!

Will the Essex class carrier have catapults and other features in the future - e.g a functional crash barrier?

there is undocumented new logic for ai warbirds in the patch. ai does some energy dogfighting. before, i could easily kill any ai with spitfire. now it extends and do a chandelle or flat instantaneous turn for a head on pass.

Just as undocumented and maybe even more fun than that is the buff they gave the Mk-82 -83 -84 warheads! Yay! Boom!

Not sure where I should report this, spent already some time searching forum contents with no increased wisdom.

So, with the latest patch, at least F-16C instant action Refueling mission on Caucasus map stopped working: the two F-16s already on refueling tanker keep alternating on fueling with the tanker and seemingly never completing / finishing the refueling. Thus, "chicks on tow" remains as the status. I waited something to trigger the mission to proceed, but at least in 10 - 15 minutes no change to AI plane behavior.
