It is and each side still has advantages and disadvantages. He knows exactly where I am giving him a big advantage, however he's probably not expecting me to attack him and thus might be less prepared....but the big advantage is the Harrier has 120 flares compared to around 30 for most fighters so can throw loads of them out. At least it gives you a fighting chance that than no chance.

It's a giggle in PvP servers.......and the odd thing is, player controlled are a lot more dangerous which is surprising as we often complain about the AI being snipers.

Yeah.....better sound and driving physics....and also more SAM assets to use..like SA6

How do you mean??? The radar lock icon?

Cant beat a bit of Wacky Races/Catch the Pidgeon.

Thank you

Harrier. It is very similar.

Yeah...that's what I was alluding to when I said I was prepared so the face to face shot. As soon as I went hot I started flaring - and the harrier has 120 flares by default so you have a pretty good chance of defeating them. It was pretty cool seeing them both, however at the time I only noticed one. I only spotted the second as I did the video.

Yeah they were.....however you need to ignore them as much as possible and destroy the units which prevents them spawning. It just happens that in this particular case I destroyed the units in the first attack.....and by sheer bad luck they recaptured it by bringing the shilka....allowing them to create 4 ammo trucks....immediately.....and they can do that once every 20 minutes......so that's what they did. Had I destroyed those last 2 then it would have been over...no more spawning......however it cost them resources and I gain points for all the killing....so its not quite so frustrating

Yeah..the only issue is with the sidearm (if you dont have a lock if flies north instead of straight) and that's nothing to do with Razbam as ED control all weapons

@@Pukin-Dog oh I see, thats good news, It seems that F-15 radar is fixed now. I hope this whole problem between ED and Razbam gets solved because after getting FC24 I want the Mirage 2000 and the Harrier

​@@NATO_BelieverI'm sure it will be....The Harrier, Mirage and F15 are 3 of the biggest planes in DCS...losing them would he catastrophic. As for the Mirage....it's an epic dogfighter

I cannot join Red as they are dirty dawgs!!!! Haha - only kidding buddy..... I only fly the Harrier though.

Hey...there is no real reason to use the Steam version......there is no price difference though in the long run you can earn "miles" with the non steam version which lets you get discounts. The only think that is free though is the core game and a couple of modules e.g. the unarmed TF-51D (a P-51 mustang trainer). All of the "DLC" is paid for and not cheap, however there are regular sales...usually every 2-3 months or so where modules are up to 50% off, though the most popular ones are closer to 25% off and brand new modules are not included.....As for FC24. I guess it depends on your background. If you are now to flight sims then go with FC24, however they are not full fidelity...but give you lots of aircraft to fly. If you are coming from something like Falcon BMS then you might want to ignore FC24 (for now) and get the Hornet or Viper (or other). As for virus's in DLC...that's just not true. In regards to Combined Arms....I like it, however I would definitely get a full fidelity module before getting CA.......but if you choose FC24....give it a few months before getting a full fidelity Module (Ig get the Hornet if I were you)....and then maybe consider CA.

@@Pukin-Dog Thank you for such a detailed response, I didn't know DCS was available outside steam. I will check it out. I am experienced with flying games, I flew a lot of MS FSX back in the day, and I am pretty confident with my understanding of the physics and handling of planes, but I think I will still go with FC24 instead of Full fidelity modules because of the time it would require to learn the plane, for now, I just want to relax and fly a little bit, like a relaxing therapy. Thanks for telling me that Combined Arms did not have viruses because I was worried. I dont know Falcon BMS, I always played FSX, Ace Combat on PS2 and F-16 Fighting Falcon by Novalogic (1998)

@@NATO_Believer I look forward you to seeing you online sometime.

@@Pukin-Dog yeah dude, for sure, I would love that. I will try both Planes and tanks in DCS, I play a lot of Gunner Heat PC so Im excited to see how everything works in DCS

I do love ARMA as well - an awesome game.

@@Pukin-Dog spent almost 2.5k hrs in arma 3, it's just so good and unique but extremely dated at this point

@@ephealtun roll on ARMA4. Looooooooooong overdue

THANK YOU!!!!! That's a great compliment from Red....it's a fun server isn't it.. The Harrier is incredible.... in the 80's scenario it's pretty severely restricted as we cannot use it's killer weapon...the LJDAM which is utterly devastating...but even without that it's superb....fast enough to sneak in where the A-10 cannot - but it's two most important features are it's RWR which is accurate enough to notch and FLIR hotspots. You can get in fast, hot hard and get out even if the enemy has CAP (so long as you are not seriously outnumbered). If you have good CAP of your own then APKWS is lethal for anything bar MBTs

The Harrier and Mirage are finished from a proposed functionality perspective*...the f15 is certainly some way off. *I would like then to add functionality such as sharing capabilities data but they have said that's never been on the roadmap

It's a lot of fun....and sadly undervalued

I will take a look as soon as I can. I'm no scripting guru though....I muddle through simple stuff. It was certainly working 6 months ago bit will look again.

Interesting. I could certainly do random groups when an active group is dead......as for random times.....there is a couple of ways to do that..none of which are brilliant. Lets start with the random group. Firsts of all you would create a trigger at mission start w flag "set random number". Lets call the flag "AirGroup" and the random number is 1-10. That would allow 10 random groups to be picked. You would then have 10 airgroups and a trigger for each (so 10 triggers) to activate a group if that "airgroup" flag matches a certain value..... ....but that would only give you a random FIRST air group. You would then need to create another trigger with a different name say "airgroup1) similar to the above which says "if group1 alive then "set random number" again.... (maybe using numbers 11-19)....then you would need a trigger to say if airgroup1 =1 AND group2 dead then activate that second random selection......Im not sure that will make much sense???? Hopefully you get the gist. It would likely get very complex with more than a few groups.....scripting might be easier but I cannot script

As for random time you can either use the above method so as well as picking a random group you set say 10 times. say 1 min 2 min 3 min and so on and add that to the mix....or you can use the random condition. Note the random contition checks every 1s so "random 1" has a 1% chance every 1 second....by 60 seconds it's likely to trigger, however you can compound these so you can have random1 AND random 50 giving a 1 in 200 chance every second. whereas random1 AND random1 gives a 1 in 10000 chance every second....that's much easier......and you can time box that with a max and minimum by adding time since flag is more than and/or less than x seconds

Actually....my idea won't work. 😢. Let me think some more

Thank you buddy!

Hey - thank you!!!!!

Lol. Thank you!!!

Thank you Mark

You are most welcome

It's the Marianas

@@Pukin-Dog oh alright thanks! Not sure why I didn’t recognize it

Yeah - not even a pause to reload the magazine....that must be how the real thing works because DCS is a realistic sim right? :-)

@@Pukin-DogI’m not sure why they thought a reload wasn’t a thing. It must be a low priority to implement at this point. Hopefully, they’ll get it squared away.

Lol. I would not let just that one thing sway you!!! Though it's a cool module anyway. I had to fudge the mission to get that kill by adding a trigger that after 8 hits the car was destroyed! Without that the M4 did 1% damage - and you have 150 rounds....so you are limited to killing infantry or triggers................... It was fun though!

if you notice I changed the laser code! The 9 were dropped on 1688 and whilst falling would have searched for 1688, but as I switched to 1687 for the final drop and activated the laser the original 9 didn't track. I am gonna redo the vid with a description as silentone11111111 requested

@@algroyp3r it's a good point...I was too busy running rampage and laughing to myself 😀

I originally did it with me talking through it...but it sounded shit lol. I do have an LJDAM tutorial in my channel (look for training playlist)...if struggling then get back to me, however the Harrier is incredibly easy.....once you know the basics. 99% of the time you need to be in TPOD hotas mode find the target hit designate for the first target and then it's just a case of hitting TOO > ENT for each target....then selecting the LJDAM (or WPN is the ODU has gone blank) and picking your targets then you created.....I might redo is as a quick and dirty tutorial.

@@Pukin-Dog Ill check your tutorial. Im a groundpounder at heart so I should give it a try :)

@@silentone11111111 I am gonna try and redo this video with my describing how I did it...there is a key piece of info not in any of my tutorials...hopefully I will get it done this week.

@@Pukin-Dog sounds great 👍 if you could explain things like to a dumb person that would be excellent 😀

I have done a new video with me talking through it.

It's a long way from being a mission at present. I tend to start at the end and work forwards.

Cheers buddy. I have been absent form the Dogfight server for a while - but I have got back into it a bit. I'd love to take on Growling Sidewinder in a Viper.

@@Pukin-Dog if offered to fight him in a tomcat multiple times lol

OMG - really? I guess that's kinda serious...and funny at the same time. What damage was done

@@Pukin-Dog the mosque spire was made of unobtanium. My phantom was made of torpex
