WOV does play on the latest Win 10 although not as well as SF2V - how far does it get? I have turned off all Game mode setting in Win 10 (was added in a recent update) Another thing added - If you right click on the desktop icon and go to compatibility tab then tick "Disable full-screen optimisations" You probably need at least 16GB for DCS if not 32 for 2.5 online - at the moment a 1070/1080 type gfx card seems to be the type of card you need for that. Obviously if Vietnam is your thing then there is nothing in DCS and be warned that the full modules are full on simulators nothing like SF/WOV.

Don't worry they can do wonders with CGI these days..just look what they did with Carrie Fisher in Rogue One

Iceman making a comeback as well https://theaviationist.com/2018/06/07/the-return-of-iceman-val-kilmer-to-appear-in-top-gun-sequel/

hmm Kenny Loggins Will Re-Record Danger Zone for Top Gun 2 Danger Zone anchored the original Top Gun soundtrack when it was released in 1986. The single reached number two on the Billboard singles chart and the Top Gun soundtrack went on to become the highest selling soundtrack of the 80s and remains one of the highest selling movie soundtracks ever to this day. It's synonymous with the movie and it would be tough to imagine them doing the sequel without featuring the song in some way. Fans can only hope this new version turns out better than the Fall Out Boy Ghostbusters theme did. https://movieweb.com/top-gun-2-kenny-loggins-danger-zone/

Of the three world superpowers, two have operational squadrons of stealth fighters. One is the US. The other is not Russia, but China. http://www.airforcemag.com/MagazineArchive/Pages/2018/July 2018/The-Chinese-Air-Forces-Great-Leap-Forward.aspx

A note comes up in the DCS client even if you are running the stable 2.5.0 release - although doesn't mention it is for Open Beta only which is not helpful. So to be clear it is only an early access beta module for now and cannot be used in the supposed stable release.............I can see that a lot of people run the Open Beta instead anyway on the forums (and multiplayer servers) but they are the likely the minority.

You mean the point that a pilot no longer has enough control authority to push the nose down and obtain zero G? Going to be different for each aircraft - what is this in relation to?

Oh dear http://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/21227/highlights-from-twitters-defense-communitys-responses-to-tom-cruises-top-gun-2-teaser

...........the need for speed against those F-16s the Navy uses haha

Although there are options to make the game easier the modules often have an extra section where further help is sometimes given. There also seems to be 2 sets of controls for each module (sim and game) I have only used the sim ones. Because this is very module specific someone with a chopper module would need to comment.

Persian Gulf Map for DCS World, Now Available! We are excited to announce that the Persian Gulf Map for DCS World is now available for download. This is our first modern-day combat theater outside of the Caucasus map, and it will provide many interesting and engaging historical and hypothetic scenarios. To purchase this new map for DCS World, please visit DCS e-shop. Please note that the Persian Gulf Map early access release is only for DCS World 2.5 Open Beta. Once the map becomes final, it will be available in the DCS World 2.5 Release version. The Persian Gulf Map for DCS World focuses on the Strait of Hormuz, which is the strategic choke point between the oil-rich Persian Gulf and the rest of the world. Flanked by Iran to the North and western-supported UAE and Oman to the south, this has been one of the world’s most dangerous flash points for decades. It was the location of Operation Praying Mantis in 1988 in which the US Navy sank several Iranian naval vessels. The region also includes the vast Arabian Sea that is well-suited for combat aircraft carrier operations, and it will be an amazing area of operations for the upcoming Hornet and Tomcat. Be it from land bases in Iran, UAE and Oman, or from the deck of an aircraft carrier, the Persian Gulf Map offers a wide array of combat mission scenarios to prove your mettle. Key Features: 201,000 sq km highly detailed map area that centers on the Strait of Hormuz. As part of DCS World 2.5, this map include highly detailed terrain, textures, seas, and buildings. 17 accurately created airbases in Iran, the UAE and Oman. Airbases include a variety of landing aids that can include TACAN, VASI lights, realistic approach lights, and VOR. Detailed cities such as Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Bandar Abbas with unique buildings. "Strong Hold" islands such as Abu Musa, Siri, and the Tunb islands. Iran, the UAE and Oman will be added to the list of DCS World nations. Unique trees, bushes, grass and other vegetation using speedtree technology. Varied terrain from towering mountains and valleys to desert plains. New map objects like super tankers, cargo ships, pleasure craft, and dhows. New Iranian liveries for ground and air units. Map expansion coming soon with Kerman and Shiraz airbases in Iran.

Okay so the Rolling Thunder campaign was never my favourite campaign from the series, in fact might be the most bland. The main reason for this was most probably the fact that there is no forward line of troops and tank columns to fight it out, and gain or lose ground after each mission. Rolling Thunder for real The campaign namesake this is based on was one of the most disastrous and misguided campaigns in the history of aerial warfare. What was hoped would be a few weeks of bombing missions to get North Vietnam back to the negotiating table to stop them trying to invade the South, turned into 3 or so years of bombing targets selected by Washington. Or to put it another way pussy footing around bombing things that did nothing more than improve North Vietnam's resolve to continue on its agenda and also allow it to build up its defenses with the help of the Soviet Union and China. So, 3 years of bombing targets – many times the same targets over and over, and never achieving the desired US strategy. Rolling Thunder in game In the Strike Fighters game engine this translates to what seems like a string of single missions and yes you don’t have much of an objective other than to try and not get shot down. However, unlike auto generated Single missions, Campaign missions are more content filled and almost always include strike packages and flights that help you do your job (If you at least meet your timings). Not only that all the units have their markings and decals as they should. Like history there are no SAMs until mid 1965 and the MiG regiments are limited in number. One great thing about TKs games is the use of "dates", so the game engine can just plonk in the correct objects (Guns/SAMs/MiGs) depending on the date you are flying. This also includes getting rebased and upgraded to better aircraft during the campaign. Vietnam Gold Like most things in Strike Fighters World, mods can really help and I am using the Vietnam Gold mod with a variety of my own changes. This comes with quite a fearsome atmosphere with a ton of guns shooting at you with purple stuff, red stuff and grey puffy stuff. A major benefit is a bigger variety of targets and not just the sodding comms building again. Gameplay Feb 24 1966 and I am flying from Da Nang in an F-100D (1964 version) for the 416th “Silver Knights”. I don’t know what it is about the F-100D that I like because it is outclassed by pretty much all the MiGs. The Lang Chi Electric Power plant is my target (a welcome addition from gold pack I think) – and I need to be on target for 09:10 on the dot. I am maxing out the M-117s here – there are plenty of them available. The SF2 Super Sabre also allows TERS to carry 4 on the inner pylons by default but with extra drag. How to get there hmmm. Those that played Wings Over Vietnam will know various routes into the North to minimise exposure to the SAMs, some of which had a 90% plus probability of kill if you were not flying at about 5ft off the ground. Luckily the SAMs in SF2 and this pack allow you to fly a bit more as they tended too back then! With a target near Yen Bai I can use the highlands as cover and cross in over South NVN where there are little to no SAMs. The Square box waypoint (the Initial Point /IP) is also the spawn point if you use Alt N, so can be moved around if you don’t have time to fly there. Waypoint 3 is fixed as a rendezvous with other flights. If SF2 had been developed, it would have been nice to change the waypoint details for the flights like in Falcon so you could move the fixed waypoint for all flights. Another thing that could have been improved was seeing your actual target area before flying. If you consider Jack Broughton spent all night memorising features etc before going on a mission you can understand the point of just marking the actual target with Padlock or a red dot! As you can see only 2 MiG regiments active with MiG-17F and MiG-21F-13. First Lt Eldon Atterbury is my wingy today. If you do take time to nurture the pilots their stats do improve (if they survive) Let's go then As we fly towards the target other flights are also on route to their targets. After a while several fights occur Due to meticulous planning we reach the target just fine and we roll in from above the cloud base I hit the target but get peppered by a lot of triple A Phew heading out but think my Wingy is a bit lost. Try to search, but no sign of him and no beeper! so off home alone Mystery solved, a MiG-21F-13 gunned him down and I had no idea that was in the area! If only all Vietnam mysteries could be solved so easy! I then went on to fly A-4C/Es for the US Navy in which you get to take off from Carriers in the Gulf on Tonkin Mr SAM is always happy to see you This thud was just lucky! This thud was not so lucky What are all those blotches So still quite intense flying through all the anti air and check 6 for those MiGs as always!

All the laser pods I have are set to Laser Designator including the stock ones. Not familiar with the DATALINK category personally but someone might be.

Which object exactly?

A-4C.....95% it was the first production A-4 with a typical radar with CRT display. AN/APG-53A was definitely just a surface radar with terrain clearance, and ground search modes and a ground ranging function. The 53A was on USN A-4C/L/E/F and TA-4F/J AN/APG-53B had the same modes but added a TV mode for Walleye....(.Same for Mavs??) The 53B was on USN A-4E/F/ (M ?) and TA-4F/J (and others I expect A-4G) AGM-45 are specified loadouts on USN A-4E/F/M Chaff dispensers (ALE-29A) were on USN A-4C/L/E/F by 1970 but may have been added at different times during the late 60s Argentine A-4s may have been supplied with MK-82s (photo) but seemed to have used Mk 17 1,000lbs during the campaign.

Most or all of those were available for Strike Fighters 1 in some form or other Regarding Audio the aircraft should come with an Audio file (.wav) that you put into the "Sounds" folder/directory. If there is nothing open B-52_Data.ini in Notepad and change so it uses the default. [Sound] EngineSoundName=JetEngine <-----

Sorry can you clarify which mod that is?

That sounds like it from Blade

They are in game graphics....some of the sounds might not be in game. You need a high spec PC to get those looks............. bet that is on a GTX 1080 and I can see some stutter on the carrier. Although I say game just to be clear...........it is a full on hardcore simulator like Falcon BMS that requires a lot of time and dedication.

Once locked on radar you need to make that your assigned target using "Current Radar Target" ....check options to see which key that is

Hello...Primarily English on these forums is this what you mean? (via Google Translate) Mod for strike fighters Project 1 Tiger F5E II MIRAGE-2000 F-16 B-52 Boeing 707 B-1 Which one of these to download?
