Stop typing nonsense right now. Get ready for the F-4. ? Seriously, Jester is getting a re-work starting with the F-4, and then the Tomcat, and work will continue.
Lusekofte Posted January 27, 2023 Posted January 27, 2023 campaignmakers , some of them at least are sadistic bastards. Day one, Told to wait for wolf 1. he never came Day 2 patched game. Wolf 1 finally came and made me fly one hour to deliver a admiral his havannah cigars. Then back to the mission half hour into that I was ordered to kill two cars, and I did, then ordered to land at the bridge, witch I did skillfully and fast. the last truck was apperantly full of explosives and blew me to smithereens

It got it all Always thought the Harrier was just a cool jet! I still remember as a kid going to my grandmothers house out in the country which was located near one of the low level routes for MCAS Cherry Point and Harriers would scream by low enough you could see the pilots camouflaged covered helmet in the cockpit
DD_fruitbat Posted January 27, 2023 Posted January 27, 2023 The Harrier is a very cool module, very fun to fly and feels pretty quick, despite obviously being subsonic. It holds 580 knots at sea level comfortably, and is pretty decent WVR, obviously sitting duck in BVR though. Its also got some of the best weapons, laser guided rockets and gbu 54's. 2 hours ago, Hoots said: This is why we're not allowed nice things... Some people ask why.... Others why not? 2

There were rumors RAZBAM was eventually gonna do the the Harrier II Plus which carries has the APG-65 radar and can shoot AIM120s...not sure if that is still a thing or just a rumor though... Definitely would give the Harrier a bit more BVR bite in the sim:

Trooper117 Posted January 27, 2023 Posted January 27, 2023 There is a map with the Falkland Islands on it... so, Mirage III, A-4 Skyhawks, Super Etendards, IAI Daggers, Pucaras, Sea Harriers, Vulcans, Wessex, Gazelles, Lynx, Sea Kings, Scout and Wasp helicopters... should only take a couple of weeks to get that lot into the game 1

Lusekofte Posted January 28, 2023 Posted January 28, 2023 I start to hate the new huey campaign. It has put in parameters impossible to predict. Now I had to abandon because I chose the wrong cargo, and it would not reset.

The videos are definitely interesting... we'll see how useful they are in a couple of weeks hopefully! I'm hope Ward can convince "Pako" to give DCS a try and give some tips on WSO: There's also "Starbaby" who has been doing a series with Steve Davies, Davies already did a promo vid for Razbam so that may be more likely:

In the mean time: Amazing mod for free, and those F-4's Good little video that... I've always said to myself, if I'm going to fall in love with jet flying, it will be Vietnam and Korea that will make me do it! Vietnam era jets have always appealed... Phantoms, Skyhawks, Thuds, Skyraiders etc were in the news a lot when the war was on so my interest grew. Korea appealed because of two films... The Hunters and The Bridges at Toko-Ri, and because the theatre had early jets and prop driven aircraft, being close behind the end of WWII.
DD_fruitbat Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 Re the F4, I've just tried the mod, just because it a F-4's and carriers and we won't be getting that from Heatblur any time soon. I know they are still working on the fm for this mod , and all I will say is I think that's a good idea! The mod and there A6 mod are worth downloading just to have better 3d models for the A6 and F4 on the carrier to make Scooter missions look more alive!!! 1

Nice. I’m careful about mods (basically avoid them with few exceptions) since they can break other things. It will be about as useful as a Tomcat mod before they’re done with it, but neat. Cool videos though.
Gambit21 Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 …oh and with you on the F-4 and carriers. Fair point. I can’t risk having to reinstall anything due to messing up my install with mods. I’m on day 2 of the last update ?
DD_fruitbat Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 I'm not super impressed with flying it so far, but I'll keep tabs on the mods development in regards to its fm. It does look very cool on a carrier with A6's and A4's though! 1
Lusekofte Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 The A4 and C130 is mods worth while installing. But F 4 is coming I rather wait for it. But my anticipation is on the A 6 Intruder. Until then I be flying Harrier , SU 25 and choppers

Lusekofte Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 Viggen is to me very good. It is a brute. Excellent ship sinker and over all a good plane except as a fighter. But I can read and understand Swedish and that is always an advantage. But when it comes to plane old fashion bombing , A4 you easily can learn how to radar bomb 29 minutes ago, SeaSerpent said: Viggen is about appealing to me as JF-17 is to Fruitbat and Gambit.

Guest deleted@83466 Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 I don’t mind MFD-centric or HOTAS heavy planes, but I can typically only deal with one at any given time. Otherwise I start messing up the joystick presses between planes pretty fast.

No interest in it personally ....but that's one of the great things about DCS, there's variety for everyone.

Yeah I am stuck now with the warbirds along with continuing my flying of campaigns in the Hornet and continually learning of the Apache. Just these three alone keep me with way more than I can seemingly do. 1

The modern day stuff is complicated but that's where my interest is primarily, besides the warbirds of course. Viggen is an icon in Scandinavia. They flew low and protected coastline of Sweden. A bird strike killed one pilot and his helmet drifted to Norway. Here it got the same pedigree as F 16 I get it that people want the newest and best. I personally find that soul less , not of interest at all. I like analog gauges and push buttons. I can go for the harrier because it got easier computer handeling. Viggen is in its own way very complicated but in a better way. AH 64 and probably the Chinook got this non personal mode in mode crap I intensely hate. Chinook probably utilise it for navigation something I can accept reluctantly 2
