All Activity

Worth noting, there's a difference between picking them up for maintenance and actually doing something to develop them. They should maintain existing modules as a matter of course, but I'd imagine only the Mudhen would be worth actively developing. For what it's worth, the Mirage 2000 seems to be mostly complete, but the MiG-19 has many minor issues and the Harrier was in the middle of a major rework. All depends on the asking price. A half-completed module can still save many man-hours of work, for which ED would have to pay for. If the price to buy the module is lower than the cost of labor to redo that work, then it's a deal worth making.

Yes, very much so. If you're going to throw money at resurrecting a module you'll want that money being thrown back at you in new sales. So a module that is niche and/or has already sold most of the units it is ever likely to is less attractive. Although if ED are picking them up then less direct benefits (i.e. restoring customer confidence) might also be a considered worthwhile.

Hmm, while this sounds very exciting, I probably won't pick this up. I've purchased the M-2000C earlier this year for 55€. Now I learn that the module will be defunct past version 2.9xx (and it's already buggy btw) --- so I basically threw 55€ out the window. I am not sure why I should bother to invest in a new module from an external developer other than Heatblur.

Because ED has not build half baked modules for years.....

Posted it elsewhere already, those videos are exactly what I want to see before release. Show us how things work in practice. Not more not less. Awesome indeed! Also like the tone of you both working together.

Just shooting my mouth off here: If I was ED there would be no way I would even entertain the idea of buying Razbam's MiG-23 - not because it's not an aircraft worth having in DCS, it certainly is, but because the price worth paying for the mature modules would include the value of the loss of goodwill from existing owners, that wouldn't factor in for the -23. Don't reward Ron for another half-built module, better for ED to wait and build one themselves from scratch.

Sorry, we currently cant provide any ETAs. Cheers

Hi I’m really enjoying the campaign but getting frustrated with navigation. Is there a way of starting the clock to time navigation legs and that will accelerate and deccelerate with the fast forward option? Also the magnetic headings given by Dai seem wrong. On mission 3 for example he asks for 187 for the Somme Estuary yet the track is about 183M and the wind is from 060? I always end up well right of track. I’m using VR and have not found the way of displaying digital information such as ac compass heading etc. I find the magnetic compass is far too susceptible to turning error to be almost useless in the air. Is there a way in VR to display digital flight info? Any help would be appreciated! c

Im not an expert on the system. Maybe someone else can dive into the details of how AGC works exactly and provide you with them.

The F4 AVTR also has mechanical rewinding (its also animated if you look at the cassette in the deck while it is recording). It rewinds quite fast though (just a few seconds for the entire 20 min cassette). The Tape Player (a feature not present in the real aircraft) was put on top of the AVTR and is a bit more magical in that sense. Otherwise you would run into trouble with for example the cassette only supporting 20min and the EOT light not triggering on the last track and so on. So yeah, the "tape player" works a bit more like a CD player, while the underlying AVTR does work like a cassette recorder (with mechanical rewind etc). Fun fact, the AVTR mechanical rewind is fully simulated and computed. If you unwind, but dont wait long enough, and then keep recording again, your footage in your Saved Games folder will overlap.

Oh, I like how those guys make teaser videos. Exactly my thing. Show us how things work in practice. Not more not less. That's the stuff. Keep them coming! Thanks!

Would be interested to know too, don't forget WinWing are about to release different yokes (FFB and non FFB) along with their own designed FFB sticks/bases.

Don't forget the periscope gyro can be botched, which prevents Petrovich to find targets (because he's not looking where you look at anymore). You can check whether the issue comes from the botched gyro by switching to Petrovich seat and try to find the target using the periscope.

Hi. Try this: Ensure you don't have a "headtracker.dll" in your DCS /bin folder. If you do, delete if, then retry your TrackIR in DCS. Still crashing? Close DCS and the TrackIR app. Go here : C:\Users\***\AppData\Roaming\NaturalPoint\TrackIR 5\ You should find some files and a "Profiles" folder. Make a backup of all these and place your backup in "Documents" or in another safe location. You can now delete these files. Run the TrackIR app WITHOUT admin rights. Customize your TrackIR commands (Pause, Reset, Stop). Run DCS and check whether it keeps crashing. Still crashing? Uninstall then reinstall the TrackIR software. Once the problem is solved, copy-paste the content of your former "Profiles" folder into C:\Users\***\AppData\Roaming\NaturalPoint\TrackIR 5\Profiles

This would be subject to a cost-benefit analysis. So, the MiG-19 would probably share the fate of the Yak-52, kept operational, but not updated much. The Mudhen would probably be worth finishing properly, that one is what people are really concerned about. MiG-23, only if the -29 is a massive success. As for the others, no clue.

just had this happen on Caucaus

The Gina will have somewhat high wing-loading, no LE devices and probably won't have heaters - can't remember if they were announced or not. It's only about 75% the size of a Sabre, though, so sneaking up at low altitude against opponents way above your weight will be a thing. As they were IRL. Most limiting will be the fuel, especially when dunking along at low altitude.

Is there something like this in DX? I don't want to use the DCS BIOS; I need a letter panel, but I need to configure it with DirectX buttons.

Thanks for your letter. Thats exactly what i was feeling one year ago, but sadly the time to empathize is gone. Is over. The sooner you get it the less pain you will suffer.

The problem affects several terrains. Ugra Media have been working on this matter on Germany but it looks like it needs more work. Some terrains have multiple "decoration" objects, such as walls, barriers... and the Petrovitch AI has to process them to know whether it can see an enemy or not. The more objects, the more Petrovich gets lost. I believe it can also cause performance issues. Without data, devs won't be able to identify problems. When this issue arises, please provide a short track. If you can't provide a short track, at least provide target coordinates along with the Hind heading. I'll reproduce the issue and show it to devs.

Hello, Do you know when Early Access will end (give or take a few months)? Sincerely, Michael

Thanks for the clarification. Returning to the main question at hand, why does AGC gain out the contact in 100 nm and 200 nm range, but not below these settings?

If you have a short memory, your problems, Democrat.

I have the same Problem but only on the Germany map.
