MigBuster

Due for release in March 2014 as a DCS module

Not good - if you take the files out of the mod folder does the game start okay? Which files did you extract from menutext.cat?

Works on Vista - download at Benchmark sims forums havnt seen any zero A-A campaign mods

Well - call me Mr pessimistic Remember that little "surprise" we had for the DCS crowd? well here it is: Announcing the Mirage 2000C for DCS, with a superb model from Metal2Mesh (creators of some of the finest models around) we´ll bring to DCS this magnificent product. We have learned so much during the T-2 development process that we decided to move forward with this high performance and high profile fighter. Does this means we cancelled the T-2? not at all, gentlemen, it´s just being moved aside for the time being. But enough of the chatter, let´s put some pics here!.. Also, we´ll have another big DCS surprise shortly, regarding other models being readied for DCS, all these will have an AFM , aiming for the highest fidelity possible, in a combat simulator. Gentlemen, we officially announce, the RAZBAM Mirage 2000C for DCS https://www.facebook.com/RazbamSims

BMS is the latest and greatest Falcon version. Falcon 4.0 is still payware so can only suggest looking harder for the disk or getting a copy from ebay etc. If you like hardcore combat sims then the only alternative is DCS World ( A-10C). regards

I remember I remember an RAF pilot saying a very similar thing in an interview - either John Nichol or John Peters (shot down in Tornado GR1 1991) - so expect its same all round. Unless the jets flying in a straight line I expect you probably don't really get a say where the shells end up twisting all over the sky!

Got to say that Mission editor is truly a marvel (and no I didn't request it) - makes it really easy to make realistic YAP style missions and makes modding far easier - sadly i guess most cant be bothered to do that. gawd even if the source code became available - that would need to be coordinated team effort - just like BMS in fact - dedicated C++ programmers working for years and years and staying friendly during that time.

Well had nothing else to do so thought I would piece together the legacy - should be mostly there

Welcome and thanks for your opinion. Being true DX10 SF2 has far greater potential than BMS currently in the graphics department. BMS has a terrain engine similar in scope to the older SF2 games - however BMS has less resolution and fps potential and the water is not flat in places. With SF2NA (which I gather you don't have) a new terrain engine was created - but probably didn't turn out as good as TW hoped - but the Sea is pretty spectacular.

No I don't think so - I don't have access to the models so never bothered with them.

Hello everyone, A very busy week here in the office. I’ve finished the alpha version of the Fw 190D-9 manual. Really enjoyed it. Starting on the 109K-4 manual next week, should be easier and quicker. Had a lot of fun scouring gigabytes of scanned original documents looking for info on cockpit controls, system diagrams, procedures, numbers, etc. Totally new experience for me, even after what, 14 years of doing flight simulations. Thanks to the manual and a certain button in the Dora cockpit, we have a new office meme. We’ve always been a memetastic group. Most people don’t realize just how juvenile a bunch of flight sim developers can be. One minute we’ll have an aircraft designer with 20 years of experience designing real planes fill out the whiteboard with formulas in order to double-check some flight test curves, and the next minute he’s bellowing animal sounds and making Gumbys faces. We were woefully short on a DCS meme, and now, thankfully, we have one. We could not be happier. There is a little thing stuck in the far back corner of the Dora’s left console that the manuals call the Flugzeugvernichter, that is, Aircraft Self-Destruct. Somehow the word Vernichter just really stuck, and now the entire office presses invisible buttons and yells “Vernichter”. We also have to add it to the end of every German aviation term we can. Spreizklappenanzeigen? Spreizklappenanzeigen Vernichter! Kraftstoffverneblerleitung? Kraftstoffverneblerleitung Vernichter! What do you call a device that destroys your ability to disable the self-destruct button for your aircraft? A Flugzeugvernichtervernichtervernichter. As any inside joke, it’s probably weird to anyone outside out small group of old friends, but, well, we enjoy the heck out of it right now. Now, another really exciting thing we’re doing this week is playing with Oculus Rift. It’s pretty good, although the implementation is pretty basic at the moment. No 6DOF yet, and the world outside is a bit warpy and it looks like you’re inside an egg, but the immersion of being inside the cockpit is just superb. It is such an incredible breakthrough, the feeling is so life-like, that words simply cannot describe it. Once I put it on, I don't want to take it off. Could spend hours just flying over the landscape and watching things move around. Also, it’s really fun to bug people wearing a full face mask while playing a game. As you can see everything they’re doing on the screen, we love to add extra immersion by kicking and poking the player at the right moment. Also, it’s extremely annoying and maddening when those louts at the office break my immersion by kicking and poking me while I’m trying to enjoy an awesome gadget. And finally, here’s a sneak peak at something else that's really beginning to shape up nicely. Hope you guys have a good weekend!

Not up to speed on the X-47 - I've seen it land by itself on a carrier - but any weapons drops would have to have the usual UAV team of humans to authorize it first. Suspect its remote controlled with a limited autonomous type ability. Wonder if it can take evasive action by itself - execute evasive pattern delta 3 You thinking of buying one then - says they are small fighter jet size - might not fit in the garage :)

That's pretty much what John Will has stated on f-16net (possibly why they limited the F-14D to 37 degrees also) - not sure what they really affected. There was an F-16 VISTA with Thrust Vectoring nozzle that demonstrated 100+ degrees AOA and could do the slow controlled spin and cobra type stunts - should be a vid on You tube.

Love this - one of the best docs out there.

Apparently.... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-26052931

Yeah the F-16 design is as a pure visual dogfighter only - but the USAF wanted it A-G from almost the off - political reasons given (Same for why it didn't carry the AIM-7 till 10 years later) Technically the F-16C Block 40/50 were redesigned internally to meet the USAF requirement to be even more A-G and the F-35A is usually compared with the B50 ( on paper they have comparable TW & WL figures).

They are properly out of control though by the looks of things. As I understand it here they are just switching off the limits on the FLCS using a 'paddle' switch and then pressing the right or left rudder pedal to induce a controlled spin. Pretty much all 3rd gens have that issue

A nice little jet

That is just way too cool!

Surely it's far more sporting to get stuck in a jet glider flying 220kts above an S-300 system - after all think of all the money you saved.
