Full agreement. Third party antivirus programs are snakeoil that dig deep into your system and cause more problems than they solve.

That's the typical chicken-and-egg-problem. If more game developers would support linux this number on steam would much higher. We all will pay the price for this dependency from large software providers and their closed source products. I already see it in my professional environment (latest topic: VMWare).

The AIM-9X Block II and Block II-plus still cannot be carried in the weapons bay.

Too bad the F-35 can't carry AIM-9X in its weapons bay, only on the wing pylons. Because of the higher RCS it would be dead long before the F-22 is in its Sidewinder range.

At air shows, the planes fly with little fuel and no payload at all. The F-35 simply has too little lift area (except perhaps for the C variant) to be a good dogfighter. With digital flight controls you can get the maximum out of these limited aerodynamics, but you can't outsmart the laws of physics. The F-35 doesn't even have thrust vectoring to compensate for this disadvantage. The F-35 was never intended to be an air superiority fighter. Its advantages lie in its superior sensor equipment and its ability to operate in a datalinked network of different units. This creates a superior situational awareness for the pilot.

I don't know their exact reasons. But at least for me, war in their country is a very grave one. And by the way, working on this mod is a hobby of them, not their job. So, deal with it.

All these issues came with DCS 2.9 because ED changed a lot of things in this update. Due to the war in Israel the developers are not able to work on this mod at the moment. So I recommend to have a little patience, especially since it is a free mod.

Do you have Easy Comm enabled?

Hello flyingscotsman, you were right. I had 2 older mods from currenthill in the tech folder. They were hard to find because their names didn't start with CH. Thanks for the hint.

Just for information, something seems to be wrong with the CH Military Assets Pack of Russia and Iran. When I copy one of them to my Saved Games\DCS\Mods\tech folder DCS won't start. The other assets packs work fine. Maybe it's caused by one of my other mods but it is hard to figure it out.

what the actual f* ... where's all my text gone o_O Let me try to re-add this: I wanted to point out that, even though all textures which are present in the original DCS zip file (for instance: "BurfordHolly_ShrubSingle.zip"), also exists in Barthek's mod. But the ones from Barthek are older. So, to me that makes this mod outdated. Maybe it's still usable and of better quality, but I don't know. I'm no texture artist. First, the mod comes from Taz1004 not from Barthek. Second, if the mod still works and has better quality then the timestamp of the files doesn't matter. Even if ED has modified just a tiny detail within the files the timestamp is changed. Third, if you dissatisfied with the quality of the mod you needn't to use it. If not I don't understand what's your point.

Quick test: Ramp strike with a Growler. Couldn't reproduce. Could you describe the exact situation in which this happened?

Did you install the CJS Superbug AI Tanker mod? That's the only way to use a Super Hornet as (AI) Tanker in DCS.

The Discord channel isn't dead, I'm active there right now. It was shut down for a few days because some users weren't able to let the politics out of it. And the mod isn't dead either, development is frozen due to the situation in Israel.

You have to create your own loadouts. The "Empty" loadout is, as the name says, always empty.
