Awesome! Glad to hear that the Spanish hookers are giving their escorts gunships a struggle too. You probably spent more time flying in the back of one on that single air assault than I have in three years as a mechanic on them!

I'm looking at a couple ground objects that have multiple guns, like the AAV with Marines and they're all hooked up to the same weapon system. Oddly though, the [Weapon System] entry on a couple ships I've looked at is empty. I'm gonna do more digging there, because maybe that's where we can find what you're looking for. I'd like to find a solution to this as well, because I agree, in 2015 it is a bit of an immersion killer. That and I want to finally try and be a little helpful in the community.

You guys jump out of Chinooks at all?

Bad ass. Know how it goes with the female crew chiefs.

That's why I'm hoping this is closer to release. As much as I'd like a new map, I'm skipping Nevada. Probably will do one of those desert seasonal texture conversions for Crimea until Hormuz is released.

So how long will this terrain take to become public?

Apparently the cooking and toilet thing on the Fullback has been over dramatized. It's just a water heater and the "toilet" is closer to a bedpan than anything else. And that whole being able to recline the seats thing isn't true either.

Can you add the gunner as a separate weapons system aligned to the same detection system as the actual gun?

Since you added it as a missile, would the Max/MaxPitch or Max/MinYaw have anything to do with it? They're both under [Weapon System]

Stratos, I took another look and the US Marines infantry unit calls for two Stingers. Try out a mission against those! Wrench, is it just the infantry that does that? Swear I've seen T-55s engage air and ground targets at the same time.

Is that the Nellis terrain? Wow that looks good! And the UAE skin looks great too. I'm sure someone will recreate the desert skin French M2000Ds and a single 2000C have worn.

Ok, here's the relevant parts of the Data.ini from the IraqSquad found in the DS mod. I'm fairly positive they'll engage your flight thanks to being set to AIR_AND_GROUND. [DetectSystem] TargetType=AIR_AND_GROUND DataLink=FALSE OpticalSight=TRUE NightSight=FALSE VisualRange=1500.0 ViewportPosition=0.0,0.0,1.35 MaxVisibleDistance=2000.0 RadarCrossSection=10 [WeaponSystem] TargetType=AIR_AND_GROUND GunRange=600.0 PitchAngleRate=10 MaxPitch=15.0 MinPitch=-1.0 DefaultPitchAngle=0.0 YawAngleRate=50 YawLimited=TRUE MaxYaw=1.0 MinYaw=-1.0 DefaultYawAngle=0 ReloadGunAtAngle=True GunRecoil=0 GunStabilization=FALSE GunRadarTracking=FALSE RangeFinder=0 BallisticComputer=0 YawModelNodeName=Bodylaw PitchModelNodeName=Bazooka

I think some of the infantry units already are written up to shoot at you with small arms and MANPADs.

You've put a lot more time into DCS than I have too. Hell I know I would with your set up. All I've really flown is the Frogfoot and Mi-8. I'm still at the "cruise around Crimea for fun and occasionally shoot something if I figure out how to use a weapon and most likely crash land" stage.

I just don't want to run into the possibility of having a jet I payed for in my stable that I don't fly very often. But it's probably the closest to a Alpha model Viper or Bug we'll get, so most likely I'll end up buying the Mirage. It's a good kite.

Damn it, Dave I'm trying to convince myself I don't want this jet!

Cool! More ranges are always nice.

Makes sense to me. Everyone is bombing everyone.

Only Fullback around is the insky pirated model.

Empty flight decks at sea look so spooky. Good to see the F-35C is getting more time at sea though.

Interesting how the Su-24s and Su-30s have had markings and tail numbers crudely painted over.

Not gonna lie, those Su-34s are sexy in an A-10 sort of way. Curious if there's any Fencer-Es or Fencer-Fs among the Su-24s. Kinda doubt they're all just Fencer-Ds.

Congrats on the Chinook contract. They'll be kick ass in the mountains. I imagine the contract is for Fox models? Any specifics specification wise for them?

Awesome! As a rotary wing aviator myself I'm really glad you've given helicopters all this attention.

Looks good! Always up for another range.
