MULTIPLAYER I haven't installed the campaign yet, but since it's free and without copy protection, I don't see any reason not to fly it in multiplayer. How? - Ensure that the Kiowa is set to 'Client' and not 'Player' in each mission. - Then you should be able to start each mission individually online and allow a co-pilot to join. Except that you start the missions individually, rather than via the campaign function, I don't see any disadvantage or reason why it shouldn't work. With the purchased campaigns, the catch is that multiplayer is prevented by copy protection. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

hello again, this is my nslookup results. i have verizon in eastern US.

I’ve had this Elite Force model hanging above my PC for many years. I love the yellow cowl ring and prop tips. I have no clue about the historical accuracy of this livery, but noticed that in DCS it is only available on the mk.IV variant. If this one was accurate, I’d love to see it for the US variant in DCS . I’m thinking perhaps this is not an accurate livery, but I have no clue and would love to know more about it if it is. If anyone knows, let me know

Oke two tracks attached. One is a air start the other is a cold start. I found that Jester does not set his switches correct when on the ground with cold start. When I use the wheel when airborn he does do it correctly. Phantom chaffflare cold start.trk Phantom chaffflare air start.trk

Hello... This is the first campaign I have ever bought and tried. So far, i cant pass mission 01. It CTD between stpt 9 and 10. Not always at the same point in the story but it has crashed three times now when story is at those stpt. DCS has received their crash reports. At this moment, Ive almost spent 45 minutes into the mission already (X3) so you can tell, I grew tired of it cause im getting nowhere. Anyone else having this? Possible fix? thanks in advance.

CH-47 mirror glows bright white when using high cockpit low cargo textures in NVG, this is in vr i don't know if its a thing for 2D i cant fly 2D so never do Is fine if you use high + high but i thought id try low for cargo as i don't really need that to be amazing as i hardly ever see in there my fix was just going back to high + high .buts its not really a fix but it works again for night flying

With some of the above posts, I do wonder how some drive a car successfully. Do you have to look at the gear lever to change gear, the wiper stalks to use them?

I did wonder if we could have ChatGPT conduct air traffic control. As for using it to recommend settings, another alternative would be to used the search option here. Its quite obvious that a lot of players jump straight to complaining about performance, as against searching for ideas first

Desert Storm Mission Ode to Mongo where to land after mission is done? No AWACS confirmation After MK84 are droped bull Eye? MIG29 confirmation is instant.

Has anyone found a RAM air switch/lever? The use of RAM is mentioned in the charts. Additionally, has anyone compared indicated airspeed in cockpit, against the ground speed, as shown in F10? I had a look today, and at 2000ft, the difference seemed quite large. My guess is the conversion of knots to mph and also wind.

As soon you have to use an alpha channel/transparency, paint.net is useless. I dont know affinity-photo, just googled how to separate all the channels... urg way too complicated. If you convert it into png or tiff, then there is this premlultiplied alpha stuff and sRGB you have to care about.... all more confusing stuff. None of these programs are really made for this stuff, they all treat it like images. you wanna treat it like special data, unaltered with sRGB and transparency nonsense those programs all imply. That even includes gimp, which i recommend because it has a fast way of seperating the 4 channels. using it is tolerable to get an idea how all this stuff works. If you wanna do it properly, you would use something like blender, where you have total control over the texture-channels, and you can practically emulate what it would look like in dcs, including normalmaps and material-properties. I use it to explore why in dcs things look the way they do. The reason you "see" nothing in some closeup-textures is that the Alpha-channel is used for Grass-intensity/Grasslength. So if a Material has no grass, it will be transparent in an image-viewer/editor.

Nice. Yes I use Notepad++ for ages now, no worries Export.lua under "...Saved Games/DCS/Scripts". Correct? Two dashes in front of Tacview related items inside that file. Thanks, Max!

With the recent cancellation of the E-7 Wedgetail procurement by the USAF, this is my take on what a 55th AW E-2D might look like.

VKBsim GNX THQ это не самостоятельное учтройство

I take it to mean propeller efficiency, not fuel efficiency. I assume the tips of that large propeller get to a very high mach number and produce too much wave drag. Increased engine output at 2700 is not necessarily enough to offset this. And mach number will, as I'm sure you know, increase with altitude.

That is for jets I only fly warbirds

Shadows could be better, hopefully after Vulkan they'll be looked at, as well as HDR support. There are improvements to be made regarding the lighting, for sure, but model and landscape fidelity is up there in modern maps, though. Maybe in an OLED headset (I have a ReverbG2) the differences would be more visible, but I found the vistas pretty stunning in Syria or Marianas, even Nevada from high up. The biggest problem, IMO (and what drags down Nevada and especially Caucasus down low), are numerous outdated assets, unfortunately the replacement process for those is slow.

You create an offset aimpoint for that steerpoint. Get into the Destination Offset Aimpoint DED pages and add the given range and bearing. Procedure is explained in the manual page 204.

For anything complex, ChatGPT is of limited utility unless you're really good at using it. It's too likely to spew crap and make things up. Simple things work, complex ones... not so much.

Two more things came to my mind: 1. At WEP you're not really concerned about efficiency since you want as much power as possible. 2. The asterisk in @felixx75 's chart is for Mil power so the reason to use 2550 RPM for WEP must be different.

Not really… I dig DCS but sometimes it looks like a 20 year old game just with highly detailed models and clouds. It appears to have this limited color palette and poor shadows or shading or whatever. I’m not a computer graphics expert so I can’t analyze exactly what’s so dated. It also lacks HDR support. It’s not nearly at the level of that other civy flight sim with a Cessna. Point is if your goal is just to fly and admire the graphics and scenery this isn’t the best game for that. PS I’m on the max settings in 4K. Go figure what that looks like in big civy game A few. But you couldn’t really simulate real life civilian flying here. There’s no ATC here that’s even close to RL either.

Ahh ok, maybe they are just holding on to their tanks then. Thanks for the reply!

I'm looking at the SA-2 and SA-5 emplacements on the map, and there's no place to put the FLAT FACE or (incorrect, but that's another thread) TIN SHIELD search radars for their respective systems in DCS. Looking at the layouts on various websites like Aussie Air Power and other excellent sources always shows another pad or emplacement at the location for these radars to sit. When/if we ever get TIN SHIELD this is going to be rather problematic as that system is HUGE. Another thread has some excellent historical sat photos and you can see provisions in the SA-5 site just WSW of Templin for both TIN SHIELD and ODD PAIR. Can these get edited for this? The SA-2 sites have some space still left in them you could put them. The SA-5 sites might need a little shuffling to cram it in, but otherwise they'd need their "back end" moved out a bit from what I've seen in other layouts. It's really annoying to have to put them out to the side, or otherwise put them in some other weird place that doesn't make a whole lot of sense or is unrealistic.

So, after downloading the DCS 2.9.17.12034 update, I flew over Sinai, which became superb, but in addition to the map expansion (thanks to OnReTech) for this work accomplished, I noticed that my FPS above the map did not exceed 30 FPS when everything was going well (before this update), but now my FPS rises to 60 FPS throughout the map, so for me it's only positive. Thanks
