Both that pit (10 years old + ? ) and the one done by Thirdwire (pre 2012) have angles in the mirrors - mainly due to keeping the size of the 3D object down at the time to make it usable for players - whereas the DCS one can benefit from the power of a 2018 high end PC! It does require the original 3D file to be able to redo it basically - but couldn't tell you if that is still available currently.

You also have no HUD or anything else. right click on CF-188B.ini go to properties and untick the read only box Open up CF-188B.ini change this line to: AvionicsDataFilename=CF-188B_AVIONICS.ini It is trying to use the FA_18A avionics you don't have

That must have been added after I did the new page - it definitely wasn't there originally.

Some have tried in the past with mixed results I imagine

Bought separate the individual items are $421.21........so $99.99 isn't that bad from that viewpoint I guess. I wish he would have stated Win 10 support really considering Win 7 is end of life early next year.

Thread:

I don't think it has ever been listed in game. Do you have Win 10? Are you running the latest TiR Drivers? Are you running the game and or TiR as Admin?

Majority of people have no concept that thrust output varies massively with speed and altitude - including a lot of technical authors who have also got this totally wrong. Forget the internet the only valid sources are flight data from such documents as the flight manual.

Not sure if anyone changed the flight model specifically.....personally I kept it as a challenge.........doesn't turn as well as the MiG-17 but in something like a non clean F-100 using tactics like getting a wingy to shoot him was usually the best way.

Also here l

AFAIK it was spray and pray mainly because apart from serious vibration issues, the software modes were not actually in place to use and aim the gun properly.

Yep - bottom line is that VEAO clearly did not have what it took compared to their peers.......as demonstrated by what was released.

Dear VEAO Customers, We regret to inform you that we are ceasing development of all DCS modules effective immediately. This was a very difficult decision to make - our aim was always to provide high quality content and support for the DCS platform, however due to reasons beyond our control, continuing to partner with Eagle Dynamics is no longer a viable option for us. We want to thank all of you who supported us and our products and we apologise for any disappointment this announcement may have caused. We are so lucky to have been a part of this amazing community for the past thirteen plus years, and are very sorry that our time as a business has come to an end. Thank you once again, Chris, Pete + VEAO team https://www.facebook.com/veaosimulations/posts/2153465558037833

The Fw 190 A-8 is our next entry into our line of warbirds for DCS World War II! Designed for the German Luftwaffe by famed aircraft designer Kurt Tank in the late-1930s, the Fw 190 was the backbone of the Luftwaffe in both fighter and attack bomber roles. Powered by a large radial engine, the A version of the Focke-Wulf 190 was superior in many ways to the Bf 109s and Spitfires at the time of its introduction. In fact, this led to the development of the Mk.IX version of the Spitfire. The Spitfire LF Mk.IX and the Fw 190 A-8 make excellent counterparts for DCS World. The Fw 190 later evolved into the Fw 190 D-9, also available on DCS World. Many of the Luftwaffe’s aces racked up their impressive kill counts in the Fw 190 A due to its impressive fire power, excellent low to medium altitude performance, durability, and ease of flying. It saw action on both the eastern and western fronts where it was both respected and feared by allied pilots. Armament included two fuselage-mounted 13 mm MG 131 machine guns and four wing-mounted MG 151/20E 20 mm cannons. The aircraft could also be loaded with unguided rockets and bombs. The A-8 version of the Fw 190 entered production in February 1944, and it was powered by a BMW 801 D-2 radial engine. In addition to excellent low- and medium-altitude performance, the engine was also very rugged. Along with the F-8 version, it also had thicker armor around the engine. The engine also received the C3 injection system that provided an emergency boost of 1,980 PS in short durations. Key features of the DCS: Fw 190 A-8 Unmatched flight physics that allow you to truly feel what it's like to fly this legend. Highly detailed, six-degrees-of-freedom (6 DOF) cockpit. Interact with cockpit controls with your mouse. Accurate Fw 190 A-8 model, squadron markings, and weapons. Detailed modelling the Fw 190 A-8 instruments, weapons, engine, radios, fuel, and electrical systems. Battle the Spitfire LF Mk.IX and P-51D Mustang in single and multiplayer games. Download and enjoy the Anton from DCS e-shop. DCS: F-16C Viper Pre-Order on Steam Pre-order the DCS: F-16C Viper on Steam today and save 20%. Pre-order on Steam. Pre-Order Introduction Video The F-16C is a single seat, single engine multirole fighter that was developed in the 1970s. More than 4,500 units were manufactured and are operated today by 26 countries where the aircraft performs numerous missions that include air superiority, close air support, precision bombing, air defense suppression, reconnaissance and more. Few other aircraft can match its versatility, maneuverability, firepower, and huge production numbers. Nicknamed the Viper by its pilots, the F-16 was designed with a reclined seating position for high G tolerance and a single-piece bubble canopy for exceptional visibility and comfort. Its lightweight and powerful F-110-GE-129 engine provides a greater than 1:1 thrust ratio. Housed in the nose of the Viper is a multifunction APG-68(V)5 radar. The aircraft can also be equipped with multiple sensors such as the Litening targeting pod and HARM Targeting System (HTS). The Viper is armed for air-to-air combat with Sidewinders, AMRAAMs, and an internal 20mm 6-barrel Gatling gun. It can also be loaded with a wide range of air-to-ground weapons that include general purpose bombs, rockets, canister munitions, Mavericks, laser- and GPS-guided bombs, and more. DCS World Open Beta Update This week we updated the Open Beta with the two primary items being the addition of the Fw 190 A-8 to DCS World and adjusting network code to better handle large number of units in a mission. Other highlights of this week’s Open Beta update include: Initial, work-in-progress wing tip vortices wakes was added. This must be enabled from Options Cleaned up a video rendering memory leak Improved AI taxi AI around obstacles Radio altimeter now accounts for when the aircraft is over a ship New sonic boom sound effects Added ZBD-04A IFV as part of China Assets Pack Carrier lights now illuminate in overcast conditions A-10C: fixed trim yaw with SAS disengaged UH-1H: door gunners no longer try to shoot through buildings to hit targets F/A-18C: HARM guidance fixed when target lock is lost, JDAM maximum range circle calculation fixed, corrected hidden SAM unit displayed on SA page, EW symbols displayed to A/A radar format, PRECISE mode for waypoint entry via the HSI, fixed AGM-88 motor alignment, FEDS cue for A/A gun in training mode, BATR cue for A/A gun HUD, and updated RWR and HARM threat codes to be more realistic. Most Hornet new features like JSOW and MSI for LTWS will be for next week. Combined Arms: Fixed tank destroyer hull alignment when engaging, gun positions synchronized in network play, re-arming times adjusted for several units, AI routing through buildings adjusted, fixed SA-13 aiming. Numerous third-party aircraft fixes, adjustments and new features for the AV-8B, MiG-19, F-14B, C-101, AJS-37 Viggen, and MiG-21bis. Updates to seven campaigns. Please see the complete change log here. Sincerely, The Eagle Dynamics Team

Surely that trend will continue and they wont stop until they have one jet from every nation they can buy from. I think there is more chance of me owning an F-21 than India buying them. But you never know because due to that sneaky designation change even I can believe it is an entirely new aircraft..........just paint some Indian roundels on it.......will never know.
