All Activity

Did you know that many of those Mods are not fully authored, but use purchased assets that not necessarily allow their use on a payware product like DCS?

Since the release of the free DCS: Marianas WWII map and the Magnitude 3 DCS: F4U-1D Corsair, we want to provide an update on the extensive effort being devoted to bringing this scenario to life with the PTO Assets Pack. Learning from some of the European Theatre of War scenarios, the PTO scenario is focused on providing an extensive order of battle for both US and Imperial Japanese forces in the summer of 1944 and to offer an accurate representation of the battle for the Mariana Islands and the Battle of the Philippine Sea. New player aircraft coming for this scenario will include both the F6F-3 Hellcat and the A6M5 Zero. Since our last update on this project, we can now share with you the specific air, land, and sea units being developed for the PTO Assets Pack, which owners of the existing World War II Assets Pack will be able to purchase with a 30% discount: As always, subject to change.

I noticed recently I could L&S and DT2 onboard trackfiles via the SA page.. is this new, or did I just not try it in the past?

Decided to run the HB Wilder Than Weasels instant action mission and had no issue finding, tracking, and killing an SA-3. Decided to do another round with the QAG mission and the SA-3 attack failed again. Decided to attack an SA-2 instead and still no dice even with 22 seeker head. Might just be a QAG issue. mk22ARM_notone_notrack.trk

Das neueste Projekt der 1./JG71 ist heute "live" gegangen und richtet sich mit der zugrundeliegenden Cold War Germany map insbesondere auch (aber nicht ausschließlich) an interessierte deutsche virtuelle Staffeln und Controller. Mit dem "Cold War Germany NATO Training Server" hoffen wir eine Basis zu schaffen für gemeinsames, realismusorientiertes Fliegen mit Air Traffic Control. Wir freuen uns, wenn gleichgesinnte Staffeln dazustoßen und wir gemeinsam "traffic generieren", uns in der Platzrunde oder im Luftraum begegnen und uns "on frequency" hören.

Thanks for the advice and replies, and for saving me from making a bad purchase. I agree that buying the 9900X would be pointless. But now I'm considering another processor: 7800X3D (4,2-5,0 GHz). Maybe that would be a better choice? Considering the price-to-performance ratio, it looks interesting.

I first read the newsletter, I couldn’t believe it. So grateful, thank you ED. Can’t wait to see how immersive this all will be. So glad for the full fidelity zero, and very pleasantly surprised by the AI P38. Maybe flyable one day ?

Review the actual C-47 AI, Missing many cargo capability, and with some valuable parachute launches. Deploy my info: C-47/R4D-5 Dakota Transport Man Rtng: 1.0/0.5 Damage Value: 22 Size: Medium Bombsight: None Throttle Setting/Speed in knots Altitude Rng Cruise Full Power Low: 140 200 Med: 140 200 Ceiling: 7070 m Engine Type: RP Cruise Range: 1320 nm Int Fuel: 2120 kg Additional Fuel Fuel Wt.

Glider towing cleat 9 100 USG ferry tanks in cargo hold Remarks: In Svc: 1941 953 built. External mountings for two complete three-bladed propellers. The C-47A/R4D-5 (2099 built at Tulsa & 2832 at Long Beach) was nearly identical except for revised electrics; 962 of which were delivered to the RAF as Dakota IIIs.

Two-stage superchargers for better altitude performance. External mountings for two complete three-bladed propellers. 896 delivered to the RAF as Dakota IVs. These engines proved unsuccessful, and many of the aircraft were modified as C-47Ds by omitting the engine blower. XC-47C Dakota Transport Man Rtng: 0.5/0.5 Damage Value: 24 Size: Medium Bombsight: None Throttle Setting/Speed in knots Altitude Cruise Full Power Low: 105 168 Med: 105 162 Ceiling: 6000 m Engine Type: RP Cruise Range: 1820 nm Int Fuel: 3630 kg Ordnance Loadouts: Payload: 2890 kg 6500 lbs cargo 21 passengers 28 troops 18 stretchers & medical team Remarks: In Svc: 1943 Amphibian version of C-47. Fitted with a 300 USG aux tank inside each float. Very difficult to load & unload & extremely difficult to change tires. No production was undertaken, but Edo received a contract for 150 float sets and C-47Cs were reported to have seen limited sertvice in Alaska & New Guinea. Certain cargo options on the C-47 have not been implemented, such as paratroopers and parachute cargo drops. With the arrival of the CH-47F and C-130J, it is highly recommended that ED implement these loadouts within DCS World to improve the logistics role for the dynamic campaign and WW2. Another point is the inclusion of gliders (for another post), which can be towed by C-47s.

Actually, it's very neat idea. If both pedals could be halfway depressed as centre and work the way you want, they would pretty much resemble my Slaws Rotors.

Bummer! I was really hoping we were getting somewhere. Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk

Excellent news and happy to see serious efforts to develop the WWII Pacific theater. Exited about the PTO, but also like to mentioned there is already an impressive content available created by very skilled mod developers from the community. It would be a quick win for all if ED would consider talking for instance to Hawkeye60 and incorporate his mods, like they did recently with Currenthill, etc. Showcased here by Devil505

Same here, and I supported the developer by buying the Gazelle some years ago so I felt a bit cheated to not have a discount when the OH58 came out

Yes, that’s it, always some polynomials which define trajectories to have maximal velocity when rocket reaching target and to be kinematically released when starting to chase target

Thanks for your answers, I finally managed to pass mission #2 with any downed aircraft and after several attemps I continued to #3 (I enjoyned a lot) and #4. Before flying #4 I'm going to refly #2. I have no mods at all except for A-4.

Now it is!

I tried to compile a miz with realistic assets, showing map of airports parkings, area maps and an empty miz file with few assets as example…. grok doesn’t complete the job when the miz file is getting big… but can give you list and possible location of what you need to fill your miz manually. It can also give you realistic loadouts and write the mission.lua, but again not for 500/1000 units

i managed to capture some packets from the winwing software with wireshark. Seems to be using the USB request block protocol but i dont for the life of me know what to do with the data

Amazing!!! This sim is a dream. Thank you to the all people involved in this. Looking forward to all of this

For DCS, I would pay that difference, since the 9800X3D seems to be far less stuttery:

Sorry, no I am keeping as a full set.

Thanks again. PCL arriving later today. I'm exited and aprehensive at the same time. Hoping it's all good.

Yeah Kiowa at $70 dollars with neither a trial nor discount is why I haven't got it. If I tried it and liked it I may spend that, or if there is a window to get it cheap I may buy it "blind". I'm sure the point of sales a discount pre orders is to create a sense of missing out so you kinda feel compelled to buy. Not so with the Kiowa. As a someone who doesn't like the gazelle (no judgements) Kiowa is too much at the moment.
