A quick noobs guide to take off...I suspect that the weight on wheels in some a/c in DCS is not fully modeled, and so the impression of weight isn't there. Visually, as you're rolling, the a/c often feels skittish and light, rather than 20K lbs or more of fuel, airframe and ordinance.
Thoughts?

I can't wait for this, as soon as it becomes available and I've had a chance to play, you will see some footage!

I was out of state last week enjoying some family time so technically this update should have been 08/27. How about those sexy exterior teasers of the Apache...helicopter naughty bits? Ooh la la.
Enjoy, let me know your thoughts on how the module appears to be progressing.

Testing out the new canopy option, you may select either in Open Beta in the "special" tab in the options menu. The original canopy was gold colored, but underwent conversion in later years, and as a result of numerous requests, the ED team have provided us with an either or option.
Always fun to twirl about in some BFM while testing this new canopy, which I think I prefer.
Thanks for watching,

Some observations on how to adjust the S-Curves on your axis commands in DCS, which helped me tremendously for air-to-air refueling. It's still one of the more challenging components in the game, but this may help you.
