Are you sure about that? I don't own the map itself but, in the his download, "field_eu_03.splatmap.tif.dds", field_eu_03.splatmap.tif.dds", and "field_eu_03.splatmap.tif.dds" have dates of 5/31, 6/1, and 6/1 respectively. The map was released on, what?, May 21?

I believe this has already been reported. You might want to leave a comment there, too.

I would love to see it updated. And, yes, I would pay for it, if it were updated with architectural features that actually exist and not just cookie cutter buildings. Batumi, for instance, would be a sight to behold.

My focus was simply on the “training” without the “lone wolf combat” aspect. It would make learning any aircraft more enjoyable just to be doing it as part of a group instead of alone. As far as rankings are concerned, rankings (of a sort) already exist as part of the logbook based on combat sorties, etc. as do awards (medals). ED would need to create something for the training side of the sim. But, even without them, @TheBiggerBass’s idea has merit.

Excellent! Glad you got it sorted out. Enjoy your flights.

Excellent idea. This would be a great way to introduce people to the online experience without them feeling overwhelmed or intimidated.

Not in the FC3 version. In the coming FF version? Perhaps.

What you describe can only occur, if the missile is fired at extremely close range. And, if that’s the case, you won’t have the time to maneuver as you describe. At longer range, yes, the missile will maneuver and shed some energy but you are nowhere near either its gimbal limits or it’s G limits.

This seems like an very odd statement to me. If it has the energy to hit you, then it can produce the Gs to hit you. It’s converting the energy into Gs. If it can’t produce the Gs, it didn’t have the energy it needs to hit you.

Unfortunately, it’s not something that can be selected.

Oh, I know there’s that no update is planned. Just having a bit of fun, while wishing it was so.

Relax…this will all be fixed in the new, updated Caucasus map, when it’s released.

Out of curiosity, what would be to penalty to the player for constantly mishandling the aircraft he flies? Or are you just proposing this for virtual squadron use, where the individual would be penalized by his squadron members? I know it’s done in civilian sims where the emphasis is only on the flying itself. DCS, however, tends to place the focus on how well you blow things up. While I, personally, like to fly well, I’m still not sure this is something I would use.

Sounds like fun. Too bad it was so underappreciated. Unfortunately, I get the impression that a lot (most?) folk who get online just want to jump into their aircraft of choice and go kill something. Don’t make me waste time reading briefings and thinking seriously about how to best do it.
