A little something I’ve been working on:
The Soviets are invading the Federal Republic of Germany, starting with a huge tank force just north of the Harz mountains. Their first objective is Goslar
Soviet artillery is beginning to shell Goslar
M270 MLRS in firing position to blast the advancing Soviet columns
The first Salvo takes out the rear echelon including some air defence units
A small group of hastily assembled German Leopard tanks are watching the Soviet armor approach across the fields while the “Square Grid Removal System” puts in some work.
The small group of armor was able to inflict huge losses on the Soviets before artillery fire is directed on their position and overwhelming numbers of Soviet T-72s fall into their flank

Honestly it sounds pretty awesome…
I am mightily tempted.
WOW! Sounds like fun! And Red Storm Rising.

I’ve accidentally found a way to absolutely abuse the AI in a dogfight: in the merge immediately go for an altitude advantage. The AI will start a dive to the deck and you are free to use God’s G to get on their tail and shower them with Sidewinders

getting some cargo practice in … also the flight computer looks the same as the c130, so might actually be an idea to learn it (if its working in the hook)

The C-130 videos made me try the Chinook again last night but I tried to enter QNH on the CDU for almost 45min before looking in the bug section on the ED forums and it’s literally the first post.
I was a bit mad, I have to admit. Still, cool module but very clearly early access.

good to know … was just about to start looking into the CDU

Well if you want to find all the bugs the CDU is probably a good place to start. I encountered a whole bunch in a short amount of time. I guess that’s what you get for using a checklist that’s heavily based on the real thing

It’s funny what we expect from different sims… in MSFS the PL21 FMS (even Hulk’s addon one) barely allow enough data entry to get a basic flight plan loaded, but you don’t hear so much complaining about it (much less about the numeric keypad being on the wrong side 
), but in DCS?
Just an observation, not a criticism 
Can you fold those rear benches up?

Herc is gonna revolutionize the logi game. What I’ve seen, the way they simulate cargo allows for some really sweet things. I can imagine even infantry boarding, deplaning, jumping off might be part of it.
Passengers puking their guts out if you do too much negative G is entirely within the realm of the possible with the sort of simulation systems they built for the herc.
Now we need that for our choppers too

Really the only reason I’m not flying the Chinook that much at the moment. How many months in and we still can’t do a basic checklist item that’s required for all aircraft. With my real weather “plug-in” the number of missions I fly that are 29.92 is about zero.

I don’t know if they’re fold-able or they remove them? TBH I have only ever been in a chook with them fitted, but I think they take them out if required.

Looks like the seat pans fold?

The potential for that is there.
What’s really important is that ED completes the logistical framework.
It’s all within reach… They just need to honestly put some work into it - maybe part of the Dynamic Campaign?

Yeah, looks like they fold. I always assumed that for cargo they removed them because inches matter.
… That’s what she said
