Oh my god, those clouds... The first 5 seconds, I noticed something was different, overall more beautiful, but then I noticed them and couldn't stop starring at them during the whole video!! Soooo gorgeous!!! Can't wait to play with them!

[@bartbroekhuizen5617]

[@andrewchr]

Hornets updates are great and all... but nice to see UGRA included details at 1:28 showing the Turkish painted flag on Pentadaktylos (Five Fingers) mountain range. I don't live very far from that spot.

[@SimoneSerponi]

Alleluja! I was waiting for GMT radar since a lot of time: easier to to find and identify targets on the ground.

[@schwappingmags1008]

DCS is just getting better and better

[@Viper81]

Happy new year, Matt! Great to see the Hornet is coming along nicely. And these clouds look absolutely beautiful. Looking forward to the next OB update...

[@dampsok]

Thank you so much for making these small videos updating us on how to use the various systems, I would be lost without them.

[@SPBurt1]

Thought you were going to leave us hanging toward the end of the vid and fade out without showing the hit. Had me on the edge of my seat. Nice clouds!

[@worg9905]

Thanks for the Wags video 👍. On the other hand who others had trouble concentrating on the radar, and only looked at the clouds 😀

Большое спасибо за Ваши видео,Вы не перестаёте нас ими радовать!

[@nerbomatic6054]

I agree!

[@Vortex31415]

Okay, the clouds are just amazing. Absolutely stunning on the Syria map. Also, GMT mode on the Hornet looks like it will be a big deal for Mavs and LGBs. That GMT + Mav automatic handoff was just impressive, perhaps even more fluid than TGP + ripple Mavs on the Viper.

[@GregorisP]

Cyprus and the weather looks fantastic

[@henrikoldcorn]

Oh my word, that is beautiful. Also, nice clouds. But seriously, this seems like an incredibly useful capability, since doing that with the TGP became rather more difficult. I really like how now that hardware is essentially implemented we’re getting essentially software capabilities.

[@dutch_bullet]

I got a bit distracted by the clouds :) looks amazing!

[@ghostdog688]

[@Kifter1983]

I don't think the Mav launch sound is different rather the audio on the whole video sounds off. It sounds to me like everything is a slight fast forward, like 1.2x playback speed or something... But anyway, GMT great feature for locating targets. For me, this is probably the most useful feature of the ground radar.

[@jasbails9857]

Aircraft taxiing = moving ground target, on the runway = same? And when does an aircraft taking off become an air target? Is it defined by speed or altitude? @MattWagner

[@hg2560]

I wonder what the clouds will due to performance

[@theFM78]

If there is an obstacle between moving ground target and us (building, essentially trees) - does the track disappear as long as direct LOS is broken? Hilly terrain, I guess, definitely should make it to do)

[@getsideways7257]

I'd assume so. Otherwise it wouldn't be taking this long to implement.
