Just a Youtube VOD link for those that missed it and or want to skim it for screenshots and to rewatch the canyon run (timestamped link).

Wonder if im missing something, worked fine last week on escalation, now they dont seem to be able to spawn. for context im using the F16 and MC-260 mods

Probably the sort of thing that would need mid-match saves, and designed specifically for PvE.

Hey guys!

I remember reading somewhere online that a heavy cargo plane is in the works. It’s still in early development presumably, but I had a question/suggestion that I’d like to share with you!

Since the Medusa is confirmed to be canonically BDF, I think it’d be cool if PALA could use this airframe as both a cargo aircraft, and an AWACS by having an optional radome that can be attached on the top. Like a hybrid between a C-17 Globemaster and an E-3 Sentry/A-50 Mainstay.

What do you think about this idea? Let me know! 😁

This game is like a dream come true to me, but before I buy I wanted to ask: Is it possible to use a keyboard and flight stick in conjunction?

I bought the T16000M a few years back, but never used it (DCS prices). As it turns out, the throttle for it now bugs out and jumps around, making it unusable. and while I could use the little slider thingy, w and s work just fine.

i know there is probably no ranked or elo in this game but are there any "scrims" and pro matches for some of the gamemodes?

I often play solo escalation matches because I’m 33 and work 70 hours a week so blowing stuff up for about 27 minutes before I alt tab back to my desktop is about the majority of my gaming prowess.

In any case the early game is wildly in opposition to boscali it’s nuts lol and entire armored brigade just across the bridge from the south boscali airfield not to mention an R9 battery and two shards just across the bay at the Virgil cay airbase makes defending that base from capture near impossible without throwing 10 airframes on pump and dump runs

Still 12/11 game tho

how much fps will i get

Select Tarantula, fill with Jackknives, Fly, Deploy, exit vehicle, repeat.

The Tarantula seems like a wierd extra step. It feels like an exploit.

I feel like we could select a group of Jackknives in the Ground Forces Menu instead and save a lot of awkward clicks.

"Oh look, some autismo just rushed a darkreach and launch 99 250LRs at the base that just popped up."

"oh look, we're even farther in the match and now it's all Piledrivers and other stratomonsters"

even earlier in the game you just spam BVRs A2A and as long as you land once you're good to go and finish the game.

very very very boring meta

So I just got this game today and I’ve been trying to do the tutorial missions but I’m stuck on the second tutorial mission because for the past hour 15, I haven’t landed once, every single time I crash. Should I just give up or any tips?
