Sorry Art-J but I have to disagree with the last part of your post here. History geeks notwithstanding, I do believe that there is a huge part of the DCS World customer base that are "Carrier Geeks" (myself being one) and I feel like there would be a tremendous attraction towards the Independance class CVL due to the smaller size and attendant degree of difficulty in operating from its smaller flight deck. Their flight decks were just slightly longer than a Jeep carrier's and actually a few feet narrower. Their only advantage being their ability to keep up with the fleet carriers. I, for one, would have been far happier to see ED develop any one of the CVLs in lieu of the famous, highly decorated Enterprise. But that's just me.

All 3 attack aircraft that flew off of US Navy carriers during WWII (SBD-5, TBM-3 and SB2C-3) had surface search radar installed by the end of the war.

......or at least a healthy sense of self preservation!

OH MAN! I was afraid that was the case. You're right, it is exceptionally annoying! I am surprised that the Navy accepted it that way. Thanks for the response!

I am having a problem with the RAID/FOV button when carrying Mavericks. If I am just carrying GBUs or LGBs or any other weapon, the TGP functions normally, allowing me to control the FOV and switch between TV and IR via my HOTAS but if I have either model of Maverick on board, the hat switch assigned to RAID/FOV no longer functions and I have to manually select those functions from the DDI with the targeting pod displayed. Has anyone else encountered this problem? I am using a TM Warthog HOTAS with the Realistic TDC Slew box checked.

That's it in a nutshell

I am experiencing the same thing. I have a 10mm extension on a Warthog stick and have always been quite comfortable behind the basket, day or night but now I am almost totally incapable of getting plugged in, much less staying in! I had a +20 in the pitch curve and bumped it to 25 with no appreciable effect and have tried 30 and now 35 and am still having problems. It is really quite frustrating! All the rest of the changes to the FM seem to be very nice though.

I'm pretty sure that I read somewhere that the Navy wasn't the only branch of service to use this technology for getting the planes back home. I believe that the Army Air Corps also used a similar, if not identical method of allowing their planes to navigate their way back home. If ED could figure out a way to make this happen for the upcoming Magnitude 3 LLC F4U-1D, it shouldn't be too difficult to make it available to the rest of the planes as it only involved tuning in a radio frequency, there were no cockpit instruments involved. It would be nice to be able to get around without having to use the F10 map. And before y'all jump on me like a duck on a Junebug, I am aware of the method of time, distance and heading (dead reckoning).

Not that I am a big user of the Combat Arms module but I think that it would be absolutely awesome if a Pacific Theater of Operations WWII assets pack were developed, it included a drivable AMTRAC. Landing Vehicle Tracked - Wikipedia

Nice! Thanks for sharing.

Another quick observation to this problem; I set the weather to below VFR conditions to see if it had anything to do with Case 1 vs Case 3 and the helo went right back to the screening DD as directed. I am very confused by this.

Same here

This is exactly how I manage my P-47 also! Once the RPM is set, there's rarely a time to mess with it until back in the landing pattern.

Don't hurry on my part =Katze=, I'm just glad to hear you're still hard at it!

+1000 !!
