It’s been a year since our last Mudspike DCS Fall Fly-In. Although we might be stretching the definition of Fall a little, we will be hosting the 3rd Annual Mudspike DCS Fall Fly-In on the weekend of December 2-3, 2017. DCS World 1.5.X and 2.1.X servers will be running with various sandbox-style multiplayer missions. Server connection details will be posted the week before the event as well as a proposed schedule of mission events or themes. The Friday evening before the event we will be hosting the missions early. This would be a great time to check in, check your install and ability to connect to the servers and fly with some people in a very casual environment. Saturday and Sunday will follow that same pattern but Friday is an unofficial early start. Virtual pilots of all experience levels are welcome! If you have been putting off playing in a multiplayer environment then this is a perfect opportunity to give it a try. Even if it is only to log in and be part of a group, many of us are more than willing to help out, offer advice or work in some training time over the course of the event. None of us are experts on all of the modules in DCS World but many of us are willing to learn and share what we might know. (BeachAV8R edit – I might be there to show you what NOT to do as I demonstrate walking around after ejecting..) We do have a few real world pilots (civilian and military) and they are often willing to share their knowledge as long as it does not cross some conflict-of-interest or classified lines. It is quite a thing to work through (or even to listen in to) a cooperative combat environment with an Air Force officer in charge or to talk aviation with a skilled, learned commercial aviation pilot............... .http://www.mudspike.com/mudspike-3rd-annual-dcs-fall-fly-in/

I doubt the market for this is anywhere near big enough for them to survive with much lower prices, and there is no commercial competition anymore I guess. High end moddeling of those aircraft is also a unique selling point.

DCS: AV-8B N/A VTOL by RAZBAM Available for Pre-Purchase with Discount We are very pleased to announce the start of the pre-purchase period for RAZBAM's eagerly awaiting AV-8B N/A VTOL! During the pre-purchase period, this module will be priced at $49.99 USD. Once the Early Access is released in late-November 2017, the price will be $59.99 USD. Pre-purchase now in DCS e-shop Pre-purchase Trailer video The AV-8B project was born in the early 1970's as an effort to address the operational inadequacies of the AV-8A first generation Harrier, aimed to dramatically improve the capabilities and performance of the early AV-8A's. The AV-8B made its maiden flight in November 1981 and entered service with the United States Marine Corps in January 1985. It later evolved into the AV-8B N/A (Night Attack) and AV-8B Harrier II Plus. First flight of a modified AV-8B in the night attack configuration was on June 26th, 1987. Deliveries to the USMC began in September of 1989 to VMA-214 at Yuma, Arizona. Follow-up units based out of Yuma received their Night Attack AV-8Bs by the end of 1992.The AV-8B N/A variant (originally known as the AV-8D) had its first operational development in 1984 and included use of the NAVFLIR (Navigation Forward-Looking Infrared camera, consisting of a GEC-Marconi FLIR system mounted in the nose) for night operations. Additionally, GEC Cat's Eyes night vision goggles were provided to the pilot as well as a revised cockpit with color MFDs, a wider field-of-view HUD display, a color CRT digital moving map, and a complete "heads-down" operation capability. The AV-8B N/A also sports four Tracor ALE-39 countermeasures dispensers along the top of the rear fuselage, in addition to two ALE-39 dispensers along the lower rear of the fuselage. The AV-8B N/A also fields an updated version of the Rolls-Royce Pegasus 11-61 (F402-RR-408) vectored-thrust turbofan engine. The subject of this study level simulation is the AV-8B N/A Bu No's 163853 and up which are the latest variant of this very capable AV-8B version.

Was thinking the F-100 was a candidate: 4. What was the worst thing about flying it? Pilots like to say the Hun invented adverse yaw, and one did have to be careful with lateral stick input at high AOA. Final approach speeds were relatively high (166 KIAS + fuel in the D; higher in the C). It was underpowered – like a lot of the early Century-Series airplanes – and we had two power settings: “not enough” (military power); and “just okay” (afterburner). It was hard to fly really well. http://hushkit.wordpress.com/2013/04/17/f-100-super-sabre-a-fighter-pilots-perspective/

Should add that the reason it only pulls 9G over a certain number of knots (e.g. 360) is because unlike most aircraft priour, it is prevented from doing so by a limiter based on Angle of Attack as well as G. This limiter allows a max of 15 degrees AoA at 9G in AA mode (CAT1) and 18 degrees AoA at 9G in AG mode (CAT3)

Firstly will assume you mean instantaneous and not where it can sustain 9G (totally different things) Logically being the lightest you might expect that to be the point on an EM chart for a clean F-16A Block 1 at Sea Level with about 1000 lbs fuel remaining....which isn't much good for any combat away from the base but might get your desired figure The charts for the F-16A I have are nowhere near as useful as there are for the Cs because it requires weight conversions based on assumptions such as that only weight is relevant and that scheduling in the FLCS didn't change. The small tailed F-16As likely turned better, (according to various pilots) but (paradoxically) that doesn't necessarily mean they were better in the BFM / DACT over the Cs if that is what you are after..........especially the GE Blocks 30/50 or even 60.

One way would be to Install everything again into a totally different folder and patch it to the level you want then run those exe files.

DCS: F/A-18C Hornet Update Work continues at a brisk pace on the Hornet and now that that project is further along, we can start to provide more regular "mini-updates". UH-1H: Argo Campaign Available on Steam Video Trailer DCS World Steam Store "Argo" is a story-driven campaign comprising a series of Naval Operations with the iconic UH-1H. As a pilot of the Hellenic Navy, assigned to the recently obtained FFG-46 Argo Frigate, your day-by-day missions include a variety of demanding tasks such as flying in all-weather conditions, Search & Rescue ops, Cargo delivery, Troops transport & Antisubmarine warfare. You and Argo's crew have just sailed towards the Black sea for the needs of NATO "Sea Breeze" exercise. NATO is very cautious and takes extra protection measures since it is believed that small ISIL terrorist groups have infiltrated Georgia by exploiting the refugee waves coming from Turkey. Your Huey’s performance in the exercise will define its future in the Hellenic Navy as military analysists doubt its competence in a modern Naval environment. The eyes of the whole fleet are on you and your chopper. Are you up for the task? Sincerely, The Eagle Dynamics Team

v810.4 COMING EARLY OCTOBER 22 September - f.scio Here's where you can keep track of what to expect from the next CAP2 update. In the run up to the update, we will edit this announcement, adding lots more info, eye candy and footage so stay tuned. Alternatively, submit your email address using the link below and we will send you a round-up and notification when we drop the patch: http://combatairpatrol2.com/stay-updated Release Date We are as eager to release this update as you are to play it. We're literally working day and night to get it out and at the moment are on track to deliver in Early October. As soon as we have a more specific date we will let you know. Richer environment To begin with, let us tell you that we are working hard to enrich your environment. As you can see from the screenshot below of the Harrier leaving Khasab, we have added thousands more buildings and lots of additional vegetation. You may be aware (and have contributed - thank you!), this is done by adding more OpenStreetMap data. It's been done as an aside and hasn't impacted general development. Abu Musa and Kaneohe Bay are also now more significantly built up. We've also added lighting to roads, runways, taxiways and buildings, improved vegetation, adding different trees and increasing their density. We've also added a host of custom objects including power lines, lighthouses, water tanks, ATC towers, rigs etc - more screens and footage on its way. Fuel Tanks As you can also see from this screen, the Harrier now has external fuel tanks, including associated fuel flow logic and displays. http://steamcommunity.com/games/347170/announcements/detail/1474223766995336391

from https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=3261768#post3261768 Hi Everyone! We’ve just returned from our second research trip of this year to the U.S! The first trip of this year was conducted by the art team back in april to collect boring, totally unexciting visual reference stuff. The main goal of this trip was for the engineering and research team to meet with SMEs and give them a hands on session with our F-14. Most important to us was to receive detailed in-person feedback on our Flight Modeling, and to then apply that feedback to our F-14. We were also eager to discuss various systems and aircraft functionality, as well as things like crew communication for JESTER and carrier operations. After a long and tiring flight from Stockholm to Oakland, we went through the usual routine of collecting our luggage, passing through immigration and getting our rental vehicle. The moment we turn the key in the ignition, "You’ve lost that lovin’ feelin’" starts blaring through the radio. We’re now about one overtime induced hallucination away from believing that developing the Tomcat is a divine mission. No one will expect the Tomcat inquisition. The next day, it was down to business. We met our subject matter expert, an experienced US Navy Commander and F-14 / F/A-18 aviator. We hooked him up to a high performance VR-rig in order to have him evaluate our Tomcat and the game was on! His overall impression of the simulation model was great, and he was able to provide very detailed and absolutely invaluable feedback regarding parts of the flight envelope or controls that need further improvement. Having brought our development machines with us, we could immediately implement some of these changes and get immediate feedback on them. Some of these include changing the thrust moment arm, adjusting and tweaking the ground effect and control surface actuator speeds. Now that we’ve returned home, our goal is to fully incorporate the feedback into our model, and within the coming weeks set up further remote testing sessions. We’ve already spent some time tuning the AFCS which was a point of much feedback, which should alleviate some unwanted roll and pitch oscillations. We’ve also adjusted longitudinal stick pitch damping at high G’s. Through these evolutionary changes, we are able to finely tune and polish our flight model. We are already immensely proud of the F-14 FM, and as the foundation of the entire DCS: F-14A & B product, we hope its’ accuracy will permeate throughout the entire module. We wouldn’t be able to get as close as we are without the fantastic contributions by all of our SME Pilots and RIO’s. On a personal level, the most amazing part of the testing sessions was to watch him ace the carrier landings again and again (which even our own testing team is not able to do consistently) - something we believe speaks volumes about his skill as an aviator and our FM! Here’s one of those landings. Smooth as silk! Being able to discuss all things related to Tomcat also gives us some added perspective on the project as a whole as well as assisting us in the creation of JESTER, our two Campaigns (-A and -B) and just satisfying our nerdy needs in general. We're obviously all huge Tomcat fans and this was a great opportunity to delve into less technical details. We then spent some time running intercepts as a two person crew (we had a second machine and Rift with us) - with one of our team members operating the Radar. Flying DCS: F-14 as a two man crew is simply one of the most enjoyable flight simulation experiences one can have, and doing so with a real F-14 pilot up front was the cherry on top. That’s it for this trip! The entire team is hard at work at bringing you the best F-14 experience we can possibly craft, and we’re looking forward to the early access release and the F-14 roadmap beyond. There’s still plenty of work to be done, and we’ll keep you updated on our schedule and progress. Thanks so much for reading, and stay tuned for more updates. We'd also like to sincerely thank all of our SMEs, both pilots and RIOs (you all know who you are!) and museums and associations that we have been working with for their amazing help and all of the contributions that they have made to DCS: F-14 so far. Thank you! Sincerely, Heatblur Simulations https://www.facebook.com/heatblur/ "....wooah that lovin' feelin'...’"

For me Windows 10 (as always) updated the driver to the latest 382.05 with the Win 10 version 1703 update..........however I have not seen any issues myself so far so might be okay.

If I have seen a Curtiss Seamew before then it has been confined to the place in my mind that all the darkest things are hidden away. https://hushkit.net/2017/09/30/the-10-worst-royal-navy-aircraft/

Is it the same in a Single mission? Any Map Icon tga files in the Flight folder?

This is one of the latest and recently released books in Osprey Publishing’s “Duel” series focusing primarily on two of the major aircraft types in the South Atlantic conflict of 1982. There is already quite a lot of very good information written by the people who were there on this subject, however what I really like about the Osprey series is they are short & very concise and this book brings a lot of previous information together in one place, as well as telling us a few new things. The two main authors are: Doug Dildy – A retired USAF colonel and former F-15 pilot who worked with SHARs operationally and in air-to-air training during his first NATO tour of duty. Dildy lives in Albuquerque, NM. Pablo Calcaterra - A Canadian citizen from Argentina. He is an avid and award winning aircraft modeller, with direct access to the Argentine Air Force archives and contact with many veterans of the conflict. Calcaterra lives in London, Ontario. Other notable contributions to the book include from the Argentine FAA: Brigadier Mayor Guillermo Donadille, Brigadiers Gustavo Piuma Justo, Carlos Perona, and Comodoros Raúl Díaz, Jorge Senn and Luis Puga. And from the British FAA SHAR Pilots: Cdr Nigel ‘Sharkey’ Ward, Lt Cdrs Mike ‘Soapy’ Watson and David Smith. The book covers in more detail: · The design and development of the Sea Harrier, Mirage IIIEA and the Dagger (Mirage V); · The exact weapons that were used by both in the conflict; · Looks at pilot training and some tactics from both sides; · A look at the overall Strategic situation of the conflict. The main section “Combat” looks at the engagements from both points of view but also includes the other aircraft and ships involved giving a good overview of the conflict. Lastly statistics and analysis of the conflict are looked at with some of the major points highlighted. We get a fairly balanced book from many view points, which is essential because looking at something from only a single point of view can never show us the big picture. Overall one of my favourites so far and recommended to anyone who wants a good overview of the sometimes-ferocious air war in the South Atlantic, because make no mistake, despite the short period the loss of life was sometimes horrific and I hope this only sheds more light on their bravery and sacrifice.

Carriers that you can go through are either old or are not landable......is that a 3rd party Tarawa class? Have you modified HUDDATA.ini at all regarding map labels?

Am running it in July 2013 but don't get that tank problem in the campaign for VA-75. Have you changed anything for the squad loudouts? Do you have the A-6E_90 actually in the objects /Aircraft folder?...........if you did it looks like the campaign would choose it automatically.
