  1. I have downloaded and installed the Hercules mod and it certainly looks good. I have not flown it yet but you can open doors and load cargo of all sorts ( @Sid right up your strasse )

    I have downloaded the skin packs which are massive and just picked out 1 for the RAF and 1 for USA Marines.

    I think this will be a fun addition.

    P.S I tried to get an AI vehicle to drive up into the back but it wanted to go around but I would like to try this out with someone to see what will happen :) (I need someone to have the plane and open the cargo doors  so I can jump in a vehicle and have a go.)

  2. Myself and @fruitbat with the assistance of @DD_Fenrir got SRS installed and working during last nights DCS session. 

    It does add another level of immersion to the sim and would recommend you get it installed.

    It can sit along side TeamSpeak, we are not replacing it, as we will use that for "lobby" type chat before getting into SRS comms mode.

  3. Salute @DD_Fenrir

    I think this would be an excellent idea now that we are all getting more proficient and experienced in our chosen plane sets and would be another element to the DCS experience.

    Count me in.

    PPS I would also like to try and experience SRS at some point as well, perhaps on our own servers at first.

  4. Had a good session on Friday night with Fruitbat. We practiced me hovering by the targets and relayed the co-ordinates to him. He then hit the target from 30,000 blind through clouds which was a lot of fun.

    If you want to try it it is a lot of fun.

    We are going to put a video together showing the process. It took us a while to work out the translation between what I could get from the Apache to what he needed in the F15, once we had that sorted, no tank was safe!

  5. For those of us that can not tell a Gecko from a Goa (plus I wanted a reference guide for mission building) I have converted a resource I found that explains all of the DCS SAM site equipment.

    Hope you find it useful.

  6. The subject of the interview with Wags came up last night where I mentioned that the Chinook will be the next module released

    A bit late to the party. Interesting video. In case it helps people to find stuff, here is a timeline (more or less) to the DCS content:


    15:00 It’s a game. Don’t want total fidelity. Bad guys can use it, too.

    27:00 At this point can only look back in time for additional aircraft to model. So ground forces will be the new arena.

    29:00 Ukrainian map too sensitive tight now as is Taiwan.

    29:30 Dynamic campaign still in the works.

    30:00 Chinook is next in the pipeline and coming soon.

    34:00 For any aircraft, etc, must be able to demonstrate that the data for it came from legal publicly available documents.

    36:00 How we decide what module to do next.

    41:00 How do issues (“bugs”) get fixed?

    43:00 The need to be very careful with documentation and what elements are included.

    48:00 Viper radar lock loss bug. Also talk about real world failures and whether to include them in sim.

    50:00 Hornet flight dynamics being reworked.

    51:00 Full briefing room coming for the carrier.

    52:00 Super Hornet not likely and reason why.

    53:30 DCS sufficiently modeled that can be used to teach. DCS compared to real world military simulators.

    57:00 Did Top Gun 2 help with sales?

    58:00 Possibility of destructible trees.

    59:00 Additional carrier crew coming soon.

    1:00:00 Looking for air boss voice actor.

    1:01:30 Wags’ game preferences.

    1:02:40 Korea and Vietnam maps. Not now but will come.

    1:05:00 Full DCS C-130 will eventually be made.

    1:06:00 An entire logistics system is in the works and it’s application to the dynamic campaign.

    1:07:00 Difference between DCS and real world experience in the cockpit.

    1:12:00 Kola Peninsula map. Whole world map.

    1:15:00 Eurofighter. Kiowa.

    1:20:30 S-3 possible but far down the list.

    1:43:30 Any chance of a Gripen or Rafale? The docs are the issue.

    1:44:30 Possibility of FF Su-27, MiG-29, plus more on type and sources of information they can use.
