  1. Was a lot of fun,
  2. Woah missed this, I hope you had a great birthday FT, and had a thoroughly enjoyable day
  3. True, but the Hook ain't free! Sure looks better though,
  4. The Blackhawk mod is a very good helicopter mod as well, very different as is much more modern, and probably the easiest helicopter top learn to fly helicopters with, UH-60L Black Hawk Mod ("Official" Thread) - Page 19 - Flyable/Drivable Mods for DCS World - ED Forums
  5. I really like the OH-6A mod, it's come a long way since its first release. Since v1.4 its massively improved really nice fm, and we're currently on v1.51 now
  6. Flying around en-route to protect ground troops with Colin earlier tonight,
  7. Using the Laydown mode in the F-4E with Snake eyes,
  8. Somebody's learned how to use the Pave Spike and GBU's in the F-4E!!! Somewhat harder than in other platforms, but very doable once you get used to the Pave Spikes foibles. Bombing an airfield from @15,000 feet.
  9. After learning a few lessons along the way, like after jettisoning bags make sure you set the switch to fuel transfer off so it will then drain your wing tanks and not leave your Phantom flying like a brick, turning roll augmentation to off when dogfighting so you have full control over the rudder, and that generally Sparrows are great for making the enemy go defensive, and ever so occasionally may get you a kill, I'm starting to get some success and enjoy the challenge!
  10. This thread has some good info re the F4 radar and realistic expectations. Jester useless. - DCS: F-4E Phantom - ED Forums
  11. If its the same as the Tomcat, you still have to tell where jester to look sometimes with the jester wheel, to specifically focus the search on to a certain piece of sky. Also, if you were chasing and there was relatively little speed difference, you won't be able to get a lock, no matter what radar you have in DCS, due to how these radars work, as they will be in the notch. In that situation you either need to slow down or speed up to create a positive/negative closure rate, and get the targets out of the notch. Most radars have different settings used depending whether the target is hot or cold as well, and being in the wrong prf greatly reduces detection chance, if your radar is set for hot targets and they're cold for example (hot target is coming towards you, cold target is flying away from you). Jester can need a prod in the right direction with this sometimes. Re sidewinder, no idea....
  12. DCS forums would be probably a good place to start, try here, Winwing - ED Forums (dcs.world) And yes, DCS is pretty beautiful these days!!!
  13. Aa Colin says, on my system running in 4k, this has made a big difference. Because some of the newer modules use extremely big textures, it causes the vram on your gfx card to completely fill up, particularly the phantom and the chinook (12gig in my case), and this results in a massive fps hit as it then switches to on board memory. By switching to medium textures I went from 20 to a solid 60 fps on these modules. I can't even notice any downgrade in visuals although one would assume there must be something. This will be even more effective in vr, which Is more vram dependant.
  14. Real men beat gravity into submission in hellos, rather than pussy flying in things that glide.....😉
  15. Hi Sid 👍 Same as before re planes, mostly flying on the Syria map at the moment regarding maps.
  16. When is low to low..... about the 2:48 mark, was lucky the airbags didn't go off!
  17. Some Afghanistan pics, Flying around TK (Tarinkot) Tarinkot airbase, Camp Bastion, Kandahar, l
  18. I've felt that way for about 2 years, but yes i agree with you crash.
  19. Some Kiowa action using the APKWS rockets on the range...
  20. I think Normandy would be appropriate for tomorrow indeed!
