In the sky, blue wasn't a bad idea if you were above your adversaries.
Anyway, while the Central America idea is interesting, I'd think a fictional US intervention in the Spanish Civil War would be more so. At the time we weren't really friendly with Germany or Russia, which is why we didn't get involved, but if there was some early rapprochement with Russia pre-Barbarossa I could see the US fighting alongside them against the fascists.

Right, the MiG-15 isn't a flyable so you've modded it somehow to get it flying and it sounds like yours has some FM issues. Try one of the other MiG-15 FMs uploaded here to see how it works for you.

Hind was made by Digital Integration, but I don't recall them making an F-16 sim. Of course, there were a lot of "also rans" in that area besides MPS/SH's Falcon 3/4 series that I can barely recall. I know Novalogic did one.

I can't believe they're staying out of the pedals market. This would've been a prime opportunity after skipping it for the Cougar.

It's a cold war no different from the one with the USSR.

I never really played much Flanker, but I played a good bit of Flanker 2 and 2.5 until LOMAC came out. I've been flying LOMAC and its upgrades since release and I just wish they'd done more planes for it. DCS is a grade higher in complexity and realism, but I had no problem with the level LOMAC modeled.
LOMAC has always suffered slowdowns over battlefields, I think it's the smoke from the various weapons and destroyed units largely followed by the units themselves. I know some missions I've played have a ton of friendly units at the airfield you start at and the going is a bit slow until you're away from there. The engine actually cares how many units are present in a given mission as well. You can sit at an empty airbase on the runway and have 2 totally different frame rates depending on whether there are lots of units miles away or the world is empty except for you.

Missile-jamming lasers already exist and are being deployed on some platforms. I forget exactly which are getting them. They merely attempt to blind or confuse the seeker head to prevent the missile from tracking, there's no destruction caused.

That's the JF-17, the joint Chino-Pakistani plane.
My guess is it's mostly in English because few Pakistanis will speak or read Chinese.

I'll only be happy when DCS has every plane in it that I have in my modded SF games.

Grandma??? Get out of that turret!!

I can understand wishing you were built differently, but I can't understand spending money and risking who knows what medical problems to actually CHANGE it.
-
Nice to see a good upclose pic of the JF-17 finally.
Is that a Seahawk landing? I didn't know there were any still flying.
-
The A-10C is the one coming out soon. I don't even know if the A-10A is still planned or not.

This is how you get away with robbing the bank across the street from Comic Con.

I think everyone can agree Caddyshack 2 was lame.
-
It's fanless but not watercooled? I'm puzzled how they can make that work without resorting to very slow chips.

I bid $1 more than Dave, just to be dickish.

Not sure about the delivery order, but we're supposedly only 5 yrs away from the A version IIRC.

The equipment, yes. The employees, no.

Here's a question--if the AI get the same FM as the player at normal, do they also have the same dynamic conditions affecting it? In other words, your speed is affected by the amount of fuel you have and the weight and drag of your ordnance...does a slick plane with 25% fuel fly the same for the AI as a fully-laden one on take off? If the game engine discounts those variables' effects on the AI's FM, that could account for a lot of the difference.
-
Well, I mean it could've been better, but not THAT MUCH better. Those numbers for the YF-17 are way too high, but I don't think they ever did any tests at full combat load to see what its range would've been.

You don't know the power of the dark side. I must pay the installment for my Super Star Destroyer or have it repo'd!
Of course, WTF is up with camo pants? Didn't have ONE pair of black pants?

I would think at 55% alcohol you wouldn't notice the taste, but just the aftertaste.

I think if you remove the pro-Navy/pro-USAF comments some have made you'll find most people rate them about the same. They don't do identical stuff because the planes are different, but the performances are comparable. That said, one shouldn't skip the T-birds because they've seen the Angels or vice versa, they do differ.
Commercials I'm so tired of ...

I remember that Bud commercial. One of those rare ones that stays ok after repeat viewings. I miss the Shatner DirecTV one, that was funny.
However, I will reinforce that local commercials are the worst. Whether for appliances, furniture/bedding, elections, or the worst of the worst...cars.
