Esac_mirmidon Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I hope so. At least the KC-130 is a free addition to DCS so the same with the USS Tarawa seems possible.

firmek Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 if you have not already take a look at the W.I.P pocket guide, RAZBAM have marked areas that are not ready yet regarding functionality https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=193603 Frankly speaking it would be rather fair to expect that such list is communicated by the developer or even better included in the module description in the ED shop. Just to set clearly the expectations on what's included and what is still to come. Asking to dig through 120 pages document to find out what is missing is probably not the best way ;) Anyway, I've extracted from document the list of currently missing and to be added in the future features: Ground Power Control Voice warnings (Betty?) HUD Symbology Brightness, FLIR Video Controls, MPCD display swap UFC modes: IFF, WPN (Weapons), WOF (Waypoint overfly), BCN (Radar beacon), ALT (Altimeter), EM CON (Emission Control), TMR (Timer), TOO (Target-Of-Opportunity) - available 5 out of 13 Ability to create and modify flight plan Radios - using only simple coms! Emission control (all radio devices silence) mode NAVFLIR cool down time HUD FLIR video image settings (brightness, contrast) NAVFLIR Hotspot Detector Sidewinder Expanded Acquisition Mode (SEAM) LOFT Delivery Mode Expendables (countermeassures?) dispensing programming + MANUAL maybe some day on the same level with other DCS modules ;) That's one hefty list. Before you beat me with the "it's an Alpha" stick look on my list of modules (which most of them I've got in early access if not on a day one) but I have to admit that I have a doubt that there are different Alpha's in DCS - Alphas and Alpha Alphas, if you know what I mean ;) Not that I'm not getting the Harrier, sure I do, it's rather the question I need to think about is if when and if now is a good moment. F/A-18, F-16, F-14, M-2000C, A-10C, AV-8B, AJS-37 Viggen, F-5E-3, F-86F, MiG-21bis, MiG-15bis, L-39 Albatros, C-101 Aviojet, P-51D, Spitfire LF Mk. IX, Bf 109 4-K, UH-1H, Mi-8, Ka-50, NTTR, Normandy, Persian Gulf... and not enough time to fully enjoy it all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esac_mirmidon Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Like Wags said Alphas are not for everyone. Some people feel comfortable with Alphas, some not. Just take a decision and enjoy what you have. " You must think in russian.."

20thBG_Blackwolf Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Bought it, Alpha or not. I didn't even think about it, sure it sucks and blows but it hovers too! :P It's the El Camino of DCS ,not a chopper but a fixed wing that acts like a chopper. Just one cool plane. BSD Discord , BSD Website If it doesn't hover, it just sucks and blows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarHawk72 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Here for the journey, not just the ride! For me personally i'm looking forward to watching the Harrier receive updates and then learning how to use/operate the new content, but like others have said if you're not interested so much in the journey and just wish to fly a 100% complete module then just wait for the final release. Either way i'm sure this great community will be with you, whatever you decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZShizzam Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 You wont see no carriers until 2.5 anyway, Most likely why the harrier is all done in 2.5, Either that or 2.5 comes before the harrier. The harrier is not "all done in 2.5". The harrier will be available for all versions of DCS... not sure what you mean here. And the Tarawa LHD (while not a full fledged carrier) will probably be out before 2.5 is released. I'd be willing to bet on that. IRL American Harriers like we are getting do not operate from aircraft carriers. They operate from LHDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltic_dragon Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Hey guys, on training - won’t be in Alpha, the only way to do a proper set of training is to have a more or leas complete airplane - otherwise there is too much updates and going back and forth between the missions. However, I plan to release them as they are ready so it will be a gradual process, no need to wait until all are done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayos Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Anyone know if the LHD will be in when it's released at the end of the month? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wmar67 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Is this released today? It's 17:00 here in the UK and no sign as yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmar67 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 NM - apparently you need 1.5.8 which is not installed by the DCS Updater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
