My wingman obviously wasn't happy with my performance. I couldn't figure out how I got hit until I looked at the logs. Wingman shot a missile at me!
The A.I. is...interesting at times.

(oh god, I just realized I shot a missile at my wingman the session prior)

He was getting his revenge!

My first successful landing without gear, flaps, or speed brake.

I found out what the wingman problem is.
If you ask him to cover you, and you're going to be between him and the enemy, you better also tell him to enable radar.

See, this sort of thing is why I hate the wingman system in DCS. Too much micromanagement, and they're just too dumb...

I have to admit, when I first found Orbiter 9.7 years ago, I was initially searching for a realistic combat flight simulator.
This is it. I've been really enjoying it so far.

1.2.8 appear to be live!

Changelog on the ED Forums

 

[Urwumpe]

Is live already updated some time ago today... but have no time for really enjoying everything.

Thats what I call good news! I like the TF-51D and the new option of hauling sling load with the Huey!

The last time I was able to host a server is already long ago, due to absence of opportunities. But I could host an other session this saturday, at about 20:00 (UTC+2).
I adjusted the mission so it supports the above mentioned features but is still mostly the same (for people who prefer to train their aim).
Any interested parties?

Possibly me, but that is also a matter of how my long 4 day weekend evolves. Need to do some boring scientific work and have some fun. :lol:

Interested. I'm 7 hours behind you but may be awake.

 

[Richy]

So then it would be 3:00 pm at your place? Shouldn't be a problem to be awake then, should it?

 

[Fabri91]

I also should be able to join!

You mean 1pm.

 

[Richy]

You mean 1pm.

Actually no:

UTC + 2 - 7 = -5
20:00 - 5 = 15:00

What's your time zone then? Are you 7 hours behind me, or on UTC - 7?

Why not use a timer?

Why would you mean 20:00 UTC and then say "20:00 (UTC+2)"? xP

Lost the light for the ECM active on the Su-25T with that new 6 DOF cockpit. :uhh: However, the SU-25T seems to have had a "performance upgrade"; seems less sluggish with a full load...

Not played much recently, and was reserving the F-15C for when the AFM came out.

Made a couple more missions for my COIN campaign WIP, and transferred the campaign missions to the SU-25A, as it is more appropriate to the type. I find it a most delightful flight model, despite the combat environment limitations I waffled on about earlier.

TF-51 freebie? Cool. Tail-dragger respect time! Be a while before I can get around to it, though.

 

[Quick_Nick]

Tried the F-15C AFM. I didn't expect much (didn't notice much from videos from its beta). But it actually made a pretty big difference. However, I was getting very low framerate and I have to guess that the AFM might be responsible. (or else it was the terrain and vegetation) Will have to fly something I've flown before to see.

 

[Richy]

Ok, my fault.
I've announced the time always in UTC but then changed to LT for whatever reason (possibly not hosting a server for a too long time ).

But my planned work for tomorrow was dropped, so I could open the server already at 1600 UTC.
