It's very useful to read this guide, if you haven't already https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/240066-carrier-operations-guide-by-pieterras/?do=findComment&comment=240891 You will realize that at present it's difficult to reproduce real CQ with DCS. However, based on the above guide, I've developed my own method. For me it's effective (taking into account screen's limitations), I like it and it doesn't bore me. After take off I proceed until reaching 350 kias and 800 ft, then break left, downwind ... This way I save time. Constantly I change the weather conditions, loadout, fuel and so on. I don't pretend it's true to reality, but that's enough for me. I attach a track. I hope this is useful for you.

What is included in the item "Flight model update" (Update flight model for ground effect, takeoff pitch effects, auto-pilot based on FPM, touch and go handling, and other remaining flight model issues) and how much more ED will decide to improve in this regard. Basically, what I and so many others prioritized in the F / A-18C Hornet Roadmap features poll https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/236553-dcs-fa-18c-hornet-features-roadmap-2020/#elControls_237326_menu This does not mean that I am currently unhappy with the F-A-18C, indeed it is a truly wonderful product, but I also expect that over time there will be an update to the FM.

ED, thank you very much for this wonderful patch about FA-18c, especially concerning radar bug fixes in TWS, GACQ, AACQ modes/submodes. Well done! Of course, I can't wait to try everything new that has been added as well. And please, now don't forget to update the flight model

I also noticed this detail, but the announcement specifies "a massive 800x600 km map size". I did a map check this morning and it looks like they don't take anything away, let's hope. The red rectangle is about 800x600. Really GREAT scenery.

I also fully agree with Pikey. Great decision UGRA and good work until the expansion is released.

I was shot in the front of the plane, as well as above the left wing and under the right wing (near the fuselage). During the landing, when the landing gear came into contact with the ground, I realized that something was wrong with the right landing gear. I have never had such localized damage before. I think it is a consequence of the new DM. Sure, the damage graphics need to be improved, but it got me excited. I shot down a few target planes and the difference in damage and consequences was evident. Well done ED, thanks.

Ugly and difficult to understand. ED, please, how come you changed something that was fine and hardly anyone complained about? Before it was all clear with a single glance: subscribed threads, updated threads, we could jump to the first unread message ... now it's a real drama ... and we waste a lot of time. So, please, REVERSE.

+1 When it happens to me, I resolve it with the same principle. No problem, just a short reflection, action, then to parking.

I fully agree with this decision. A few days of patience to solve the AIM-9L / X issues is more than reasonable, considering the large amount of updates and improvements that there are with this OB. Thanks so much.

AWESOME!!! Thank you very much :thumbup:

Simply awesome!!! Thanks for sharing.

This is really great news, considering the graphical level of the map that Ugra is making. The scenario is rich in different climatic regions, and from videos and screens in fact it looks like something absolutely realistic and immersive. I can't wait for it to be released. I think a note is necessary, so that this map is a must have and not a missed opportunity. Even if we have to wait longer, the map should include the whole island of Cyprus and not just partially, as the Wags screen seems to indicate. A partially built island will inevitably give the impression of something incomplete. This map has all the requisites to be a MUST HAVE, so please include the whole island of Cyprus, if you haven't already decided to do so. Thanks for the attention. Best regards.

Hi Pieterras, thank you very much for explanation. Best regards.

I'm reading the guide and it's really clear and complete. Only a couple of questions at the moment: pag.86 Grading Scales - what's the difference between Pattern Waveoff and Technique Waveoff? - I understand that Techinique Waveoff count a -1.0 grade. Is this correct? Thanks in advance fo replies.

You have done an outstanding job!!! Thank you very much for sharing and also to all those who worked on it.

Bellissime textures. Ottimo lavoro. Complimenti davvero!

Excellent!!! I can't wait to try the F-14B. Surely the trial also concerns the OB, considering that several fixes and tweaked into 2.5.6.50979 were made just yesterday. Thank you Heatblur.

Or, if you own Combined Arms, you can enable "player can control vehicles" function in ME, so during the mission you can change the carrier's course and speed, depending on direction and intensity of the wind (dynamic weather). Try some. It seems to me that MOOSE also allows you to have an ATIS, so you can know the correct weather conditions at carrier. I think. As you wrote, carrier’s speed should be set so that the wind over deck (ship speed plus wind speed) is near 30 knots (SC manual, page 79). Hope this can help you.

Thanks to ED Team for quickly hot fix.

Strange, for me HUD, DDI, UFC and AMPCD are readable. Obviously, while the sun reflects on the displays, reading is more difficult. Note the two screens within seconds of each other in weather conditions with clouds. Even in overcast weather conditions the displays are legible, at least for me.

When i read about this, i wanted to watch the cockpit. Great improvement! For the first time I can clearly distinguish all the ASP. However, the ASP glass does not allow good visibility. The volumetric lighting for gauges are really nice. And finally a cleaner canopy glass. ... (so clean that you don't even see it. Sorry for the joke) Good job!!!

Sorry for misunderstanding. Yes I've watched the videos, they seem good to me. In general, I tend to focus on what we have, even if with some gaps/bugs, rather than what is missing.

Thank you very much for update. Good work.

As already written in the section "User Files", really excellent work, full of informations on the systems to learn while you train. Thanks again. antonio.
