Sea Serpent Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 I think a plane like that is awesome for DCS, and as much as I’m sure it’s great, I kind of got burned out on Lavochkins a while back, so I probably won’t be getting into that. But the more planes like this in DCS the better I think. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea Serpent Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Today, I’m going to start making panels for the back seat of the Phantom, which will be easier, as a lot of things can be cut and paste. I’m not really the 60s radar operating type of guy, so being even remotely useful in the back seat will likely be a bit of a grind for me. I played RIO in the backseat of the Tomcat a few times in MP, and I really sucked. Still, I feel like you can’t really be a good front seater in a plane like this until you also have a good working knowledge about what’s going on in the back, so that’s just part of the process. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Every now and then I go read the burgeoning thread abut RB/ED over on the DCS forums, just in case anything official is hinted at. Just a heads up. At midnight (local to anyones PC) on 14th June, apparently the F15s radar stopped working. Temporary solution appears to be rolling back the PC's internal clock (others add to do it once DCS is running) . I dunno if this is a random thing or something built into the code of everything dcs to avoid piracy or something. CM mangers at ED have stated ED is aware and looking into it. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper117 Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 (edited) Flaming Cliffs 2024 is dropping in the next DCS update... also new is the air boss on the super carrier, plus news on the new DCS Launcher. Edited June 14 by Trooper117 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Serpent Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 I uninstalled all of the RB modules last week, when malware warnings started happening. Enough of this nonsense. The only question for me at this point is what I’ll spend my refund miles on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Re the launcher - I would have preferred a few more cistom options. Maps react differently to certain settings like detail LOD etc and helo v fixed wing also changes the ideal. 3 isnt enough.

Sea Serpent Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 (edited) If I’m in the full fidelity Sabre, and I’m facing some guy in the training wheels Sabre in MP, is he going to kick my ass? Same thing for the F-5. I don’t think so, because these particular aircraft aren’t prone to giving one a helmet fire to begin with, but I’ve never been fully comfortable with easy planes co-existing in the same multiplayer universe as FF planes. Obviously for more modern MiGs and Sukhois, that’s all there is, so it’s a necessary evil. Edited June 15 by Sea Serpent 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to FC is it all or nothing or can indivual aircraft be ruled in/out? Personally Ive never found FC easier to fly as I cant remember that many keybinds anymore!

In my personal opinion, the players that will trend towards the simpler planes will probably be the newer less experienced players, or those that just do not have the money to buy the FF planes. Those who trend towards the FF product will probably spend more time becoming familiar with the plane and its system. I do not foresee any issue with the 2 co-existing. Obviously this only applies to cases where both options are available in the same plane. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dear Twatwagen was stuck on 6 g as the g limiter switch was not working anymore. On top of that there's the banter about virus detections. I haven't had those, but I am shocked that both the Twatwagen and the Mig19 are still for sale in the DCS store. Nick does a very, very bad thing there. A dev studio tanking is one thing, but keeping them in your store after the fact when their rotting away has begun already is quiet something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I (dont) agree with Nick (to parphrase one of our lamentable PMs (take your pick)) either. I think its shoddy. At this moment though, its only the corpse of the F15 that the dogs are fighting over. I would have hoped that, given the age of the Harrier and M2000 at least, that post VEAO and the gimme all your source codes (all your love and kisses too) schlick, would perhaps better protect these, largely complete, modules if RB rides off into the sunset. Of course its Razbam so theres a good possiblilty that they ignored the rules like a partying Tory in covid. Then again, it could be that ED can fix stuff either in time or when it guages its no longer in its interest to allow stuff to go wrong on all RB modules. Who knows. I'll be pished if the Harrier stops working - only seems like yesterday that the bugger finally got properly going 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would have been the proper way if Nick had a contingency plan for a dev studio producing for his in-app store going belly up. If it was a product from flightsim.to, then fine. But in-app stores have different standards. Or should have. I mean, all RB products are still available in the store… Edited June 15 by ZachariasX 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that isnt the case. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Serpent Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 I got a refund for the SE after a considerable wait, apparently because they are working overtime to process the number of requests. Whatever backpay RB thought it had in arrears with ED must be vanishing before their very eyes. I wished the F-15 would have worked out, but now I can get a free, or virtually free, plane, and there are some really good ones I don’t yet have. I really can’t ask for more than that, and that makes me a happy customer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea Serpent Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 The DCS addict in me wants the F-16. But I already have and know the Hornet. And I’m lazy as f#$k too. F-16 looks like a painful learning curve to do the same thing, with the same weapons, and that’s why I never got it before. Some of those planes can be like relearning to type on a Klingon keyboard, just to write the same memo. Real life F-16 never turned me on much for some reason, maybe because they’re so ubiquitous. Up in the sky, it’s a bird, it’s a plane, no it’s a Fighting Falcon! said no American ever. And yet, I still have an urge to get it, because I’m a flight sim junkie. Such hard choices in life😥 (I’ll go ahead and post the above, but I can clearly see I was mainly typing it out in an attempt to dissuade myself!) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea Serpent Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 (edited) I suppose I could skip all the weapons the Falcon has to offer and pretend I’m a member of the Air National Guard, where as flight lead of a tight parade formation, my mission is to be time-on-target, flying over Football stadiums, just as the Star Spangled Banner ends.
