Doh! I never knew military jets had them!😃 I thought it was all aircraft specific GPS systems and tacan. Silly question; how extensive is the destination library in DCS? I know a modern C-130 will have almost every civilian airport in the world in its data base...

You mean these Arthur....😉

😃 FMC; Flight Management Computer. That thing on the top of the pedestal that looks like a desktop calculator (it was modelled on the classic Texas Instruments one) is the fmc. Very broadly, it's what you put a course into that your auto pilot can follow. Every airliner since 1980 has had one. All large military aircraft have them these days. Very interesting that someone has taken the time to model one in DCS. I'm curious if it's fully functional.

If I knew what that was I would get excited as well ! The chart is on the "kneeboard". A feature all planes in DCS have. They list all the airfield layouts and approaches / runways etc.

@wingflyr - If you buy this you also get the second version which WILL HAVE player flyable air-to-air refuelling. May be quite a way down the road though. In the interview they talk about the possibility of flying a mission escorted by an F18 to drop cargo and then re-fuelling him on the way home.

Very very tempting but, If it was the guns and cannon version or Air to air refueling for my thirsty buddies then for sure. I know its a later version possibility.

Has it got a working FMC?😃 Where's he pulling the chart up from?🤔 Welcome to my world Friar!

WOW !!! This is going to take some study time !!!

Really?

Haha, that would be a bit exaggerated but I try to avoid it to my best ability 🫡 It is a fun match between friends after all

I have pre-purchased it - Not buying anything else though.

Interview with developers. No code from the free mod. They started from scratch with the same team.

Running il2setup.exe and setting the screen resolution fixed the problem for Kopfdorfer. Wheels

Lol, if you have such mastery with your gunnery skills that you can pick and choose where you are going to hit an enemy vehicle with your bullets and bombs so the pilot does not get killed I salute you again @Squee7e. In my case if I get bullets, bombs, or rockets on target it is practically a miracle so I have to be satisfied that I hit the target and hopefully got out of the engagement area before getting shot down or doing something else boneheaded that gets me killed. 😁 Wheels

Despite reduced forces we still managed to gain ground and captured another FARP. Special for me as I think I had my first 1000 point night taking out the majority of a FARP (thanks to @BluBear for taking out the last two targets to enable it to then be captured), achieving a mission completed bonus and also doing some pilot CSAR.

I tried my best to not PK anyone 🙏

This Saturday August 2nd is another Hangar talk and Flying event. The featured aircraft is going to be the OV-10. Events Calendar: https://planesoffame.org/events-calendar This years Central Coast AirFest is just around the corner in October. Website: https://www.centralcoastairfest.com/ Wheels

Probably should have bailed... If you haven't guessed that mushroom cloud is me after trying to force a landing when I should have gone around or even smarter bailed once I got back over land. Congrats to @Squee7e for giving my only death for the session. Wheels

a similar incident happened the last time we did this, maybe we say no bombs on fighters.

If this really was on purpose it totally defeats the purpose of the whole event: Having fun Let's see what happens next time. I could totally understand if those that drive the tanks don't want to continue to play if the issue persists. Having to drive for vast distances just to get kamikaze'd before reaching the next flag is definitely nothing I'd put in the category of 'having fun'.

Shame 352nd have not learnt from flying this sort of mission, they are making the same mistakes last night as they did more than a year ago when we did it the last time "sorry for crashing into one of your tanks, my controls locked up and I could not avoid it", sound familiar? Not good in my opinion.

Seems like 2 huge egos, but I hope it ends well soon.

I am to make the 3rd Thursday in the month, starting next month.
