Hey Propnut, might be a bit of an ask to get Nick Grey to move the date of Legends, but if you did want to catch an Airshow at Duxford.... https://www.iwm.org.uk/events/duxford-air-festival-2019 And if there's something flying at Duxford there's usually a DangerDog in the vicinity!

The manual is released! http://www.heatblur.se/F-14Manual/index.html They must be getting close. I'm getting a hard-on....

RIO pit has landed folks (that's the backseat to those who need to brush up on their USN vernacular ? )! https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=232033 The circuit breakers! Christ on a bike!

Amen to that bro.

Howdy peeps. Another update to the Stable version landed yesterday with a selection of fixes:

So you current Hornet noobs and future Tomcatters will find some useful terminology here. I recommend getting familiar with the nicknames for the deck areas; suddenly a lot of you tube vids start to make a bit more sense! https://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/17-wacky-naval-aviation-terms-you-never-knew-you-wanted-1707214888

Worry not. You're in good company.

Some interesting shots of the new "Syria" map that is currently in the works. Looks like Lebanon, and parts of Israel & Turkey are to be included, perhaps Iraq also...? https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=200740&page=22

No, Viggen's had ground radar for about 3 years now. Benefitted from a comprehensive update recently too.

Big update has just landed amigos! Most noticeable for you chaps will be the updated WW2 bird cockpits, the P-51, 109 and 190 in particular. Also the additional new P-51D-25. For the most part it's identical to the -30 we had already just cosmetically adjusted to look more like an ETO based Pony. For the Hornet drivers, you now have access to HARM missiles (Yay! Revenge on those pesky SAM sites!) and Laser Guided Bombs - mmmmm…. precise..... Harrier jockeys will appreciate actually being able to launch a Sidearm and not firing the gun instead! Lots of other odds and ends, all in all, pretty comprehensive. No Tomcat yet tho…..? L-39 Kursant campaign. Corrected missions of stage 6. P-51D The Blue Nosed Bastards of Bodney. Removed the "player alive" success condition. Updated some docs. Mi-8MTV2 The Border Campaign. Corrected mission 8 (Radio Hunt) where group of Mi-24 can not landing. M-2000C Red Flag Campaign. Mission 03: removed static F-15 blocking taxi route for Monster (UK Tornado). Mission 10: fixed behaviour of AI F-5 and M-2000 so that they engage instead of landing. A-10C Stone Shield. Adapting mission files under DCS 2.5. Museum Relic Campaign. Numerous performance changes made to both campaigns.

Hi chaps, Starting Monday 28th January, the mission I host that gives everyone a chance to fly anything will have a new toy: the DCS community made - and therefore free! - A-4E Skyhawk! However it will mean that anyone wishing to join will have to have the mod installed, whether they wish to fly it or not. Could I therefore request that those wishing to partake retrieve and install this surprisingly good Mod - it's a fun little jet, not nicknamed the Scooter for no reason! It's available here: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=224989 Follow the install instructions in the thread, it's pretty darn simple as Mod installation goes. Manual for those wanting to know how to do stuff once you have it is here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1cUH7jpAoGHm-IzUDnv_NDhiZlvX55Q9WvpgR1d9ksYY/edit#slide=id.g45fb1305f8_91_109 Be advised it's not yet feature complete and they are still working through some bugs, though most have workarounds, and generally don't affect too much the enjoyment of this nippy little jet. Thanks chaps! Fen

Lol! Methinks that "LWin+Home" will become all Tomcat owners new most memorised key! Oh, they'll start with the best intentions... "Only 248 steps to startup - I can do this! " … 30 minutes later, no engines lit "Bugger this for a ball of chalk. What the devil is that auto-start key binding?!?"

Best get memorising that start-up sequence, lads. Holy Shiiii…….! https://www.mudspike.com/dcs-heatblur-f-14b-tomcat-preview/

If any of you, as I was, are experiencing a bug where AGM-65s (and now the AGM-88 in the beta version) mounted on the outboard under wing pylons (stations 2 and 6 IIRC) do not disappear when fired, well i have a solution. I deleted the fxo & metashaders2 folder from C:\Users\<username>\Saved Games\DCS (or DCS.openbeta as appropriate) folder. Then I Repaired DCS World from the Windows start menu. Ran a mission and now both AGM-65 and AGM-88 do not leave phantom missiles on outboard pylon when fired! To be clear: the bug behavior is weapons fire, track and (sometimes!) hit targets, disappearing from the stores page so they cannot be selected and weight and trim are affected accordingly; however, the 3D model remains on the pylon, unless emergency jettisoned.

Alas, inadvertently FT is correct. A long time ago when Flaming Cliffs was released I think there was an upgrade fee to bring the LOMAC content into it, but since then there have been so many upgrades and platform evolutions that it's essentially different software. Short answer, as FT so succinctly put it, is no.

More reduced price goodies today chaps with the Winter Sale! Spitfire, Mustang and the entire Flaming Cliffs 3 planeset at a bargain $25 apiece: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/shop/modules/index.php?SHOWALL_1=1 Normandy Map + Asset Pack Bundle now a steal at $30: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/shop/bundles/normandy_and_wwii_assets_pack_bundle/ Plus savings on everything else!
