The Détecteur de Départ Missile (DDM)

This is the option in the ME:

By default the DDM sensors will be mounted. You have to explicitly disallow them.

This is nice

Really excited to see this will be a feature!

Really good decision on the ME editor option. I enjoy realistic what if features like this, as DCS as a whole is a "what if" sandbox simulator, but recognize there are community members who do not want a feature like this. A mission editor options pleases all involved- good decision!

Thanks, Razbam... Looks like another Delta wing shall soon enter the fray, but the Mirage will always be one sexy beast

This is nice

Whatever is the default setting will be enforced on 99.99999999% of servers. Why even make DDM if the user, not the mission maker, has no control over its inclusion?

Might as well put the option in an encrypted LUA file for all the user it will get.

I will not make any further comment on this thread or on this issue. Whatever changes I make to the DDM will remain undisclosed.

Thank you very much! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Great work Zeus67! I and many others think you made a good decision.

Because it's a mission-wide decision.

Exactly like the INS auto alignment that can be forced by ME.

Do you mean something like this?

 

That's what I meant, thanks. I was too lazy to make the drawing :thumbup:

If user can decide if he wants to put it or what stops them putting it on if they're in "Realistic" mission

Good choice tbh we're all really edgy in 1 regard

I'd prefer the opposite - not having DDM by default, but a special checkbox in ME "Mount the DDM sensors"

Zeus please don`t let the naysayers win , these are the same people who screamed about 4 magics etc. haters gonna hate.

Thanks Zeus, looking great. And dont let the haters disturb your work. Take it easy! :)

Not everyone can be pleased. Zeus has done quite a lot of listening in this thread and adjusted as he sees fit. For that quality, I still hold RAZBAM with the highest regard in third-party developers. The fact that he responds quickly is encouraging. The constant nit-picking only discourages him from doing so.

Excellent solution!

This seems like the better solution to me as well.

So because of a few that that do not prefer this feature it should be disabled as a default so most of the community do not use this feature unless they explicitly turn it on which any average mission builder will forget to do .... thus making this work kinda meaningless

I'm sorry but I disagree with that it's much more logical to turn it off if you don't like it rather then having to turn it on to have it enabled.

So because of a few

are you sure there are just a few ? may be you should make a poll to see what's better ?

do not prefer this feature

I do prefer this feature

but for dedicated strike missions which are actually a 2000D/N job IRL

but since we don't have 2000D/N, 2000C with DDM would do

Thanks for this feature. It bugged me that there's a switch I can throw to enable a something useful but it didnt work. In the Lemoen Air Force the 2000C is used as a multirole fighter and it is nice to know that there will be a bit more protection against those dang IGLAs while dissassembling enemy vehicles.

Hum, by default it will be mounted.

If you look at the screen you will see that the unchecked checkbox allows it. Exactly as you wish it to be...

I don't think "few" is the word, for example in my squadron we all want to be able to chose or not to use it.

whatever, they implemented an option as some asked, they then had to make a choice between 2 options, that means supporters of 1 are going to be happy, supporters of the other are not. There are arguments for both sides, so people will have to deal with the choice. You want Razbam to run a poll for each and every choice they make?? Why do people absolutely want to be right ? :) No one is right here, it's a question of choice, and that choice has been made by the people actually DOING the product. Let's go past it.

Example.

KENIAN AIR FORCE, has F5E. They don't have GBUs. Is it realistic to use the GBU?.

If they don't use them is because certain reasons. Can they use it?. Yes. Do they do? No.

If a system is, or could be part of an aircraft, IS realistic.

Why would anyone choose to fly without it? Makes no sense unless pretending to fly 3rd world country air force or 1980's scenario. It was compatible, tested and not used because of budget reasons. And If there was a serous conflict involving the M2000C, the DDM would be there, despite the cost. The good thing with DCS is that costs wont matter, we choose the best equipment we can. The argument of "realism" in this case comes from various airforce/government choices IRL, not technical capability. Last time I checked DCS stands for digital combat simulator, and not a simulator on budgets or politics.

If some want it, they use it, if some others don't, they don't. Best solution don't you guys agree ?
