Hey, thanks. Probably sooner or later the German paint scheme will come.

Hello, I'd like to load a default DTC. Typically, it will be my own configuration, not one created for the mission. I've noticed that DCS loads a default DTC configuration, but I don't know how to modify it so it loads mine so I don't have to keep opening the cartridge and clicking "import DTC" on each mission. The only thing left for me to do is hit "LOAD" on the plane to load my default DTC. Thanks, I hope someone can clarify for me whether it is possible or not.

I uploaded it to a third-party server: https://limewire.com/d/VskAK#fw958xMxG8

Recreate the issue in a short flight, maybe from an Instant Action mission. Quit as soon as the issue is evident, then hit "Save Track" on the debriefing screen. You can't. They begin at the beginning of your mission and then replay every single input you made. This is a flight sim forum, not a file sharing site. With thousands of users uploading screenshots, tracks, missions and so on, I'm guessing the servers already have to handle quite the load. Did the 2020s not tell you about actual filesharing sites from which you can then link the uploaded files? Anyway, no one wants to watch players fumble around for 2 hours in order to spot one very particular issue. If you can't recreate it in a track that's maybe 10 minutes long, don't bother. Plus, track replays sometimes play out differently than when they were recorded. The longer they run, the higher the probability of replays going amiss. It would be close to miraculous if your tracks of more than 50 MB would play out exactly like your mission, and we'll all just have wasted a lot of time. Also, please use the Caucasus map, because everyone has it. Make sure your mission doesn't require any mods.

Prob not, this is a nil error in one of the scripts you use.... "DynamicBVR.lua"

Had the misfortune of joining a server where someone is flying the CEII. The horrific sounds still remain + for some reason they (STILL) have some mixing issue, a p51 was next to me and the CEII further away, yet the CEII sound was louder than that aircraft and my own. This aircraft should be fixed or removed as to not hamper user experience.

Hi! Can anybody point me on the right direction? I'm digging like a hamster trying to find VSN's Livery Template. Any link?

...and not even remotely similar lighting conditions.

Oh god dammit, the track is larger than 50MB so this forum won't let me upload it. Really, a 50MB limit? Did 2008 barricade itself inside ED headquarters and hold the file server hostage?

This is the DCS-BIOS Lua Console that I've for my DCS, and runs fine on latest DCS, but I couldn't get it to work back when I had DCS on a custom path ... however it works fine now that I have DCS on its default path (at /Program Files): When I run it, its console says DCS-BIOS Version: v0.10.0+64, but the install package says v0.8.1.

In VR the fps counter lies Enable VSync and see what it says

In stock ME the answer is : probably not If you know LUA then YES; still fairly complicated depending how exactly you want to do this. (I will not) But I can very likely make it. (see my website for more info) You can check my GitHub there are some tools that might help you out or : hope this might be a start

Any update?

Hi community, struggling to successfully control heading switch with the heading knob on the Orion 2. It binds but fails incrementally increase or decrease. Visibly interacting with the heading switch but just going back and forth. Any help much appreciated.

Hi All - reaching out for some help/advice if possible? I have recently created an airfield (using Blender) , and set up collision shells and lines. When I export it to EDM - then add it into a mission and position any other models on it - they show as sunken in Mission Editor. When I go to 'fly' - my aircraft is sat on top. If I position a static helo next to mine it is sunken. If I position a dynamic helo (set to start on ground) - it sits on the tarmac up until the point it starts up - at which point it drops into the tarmac. I have found a few threads asking the same but no resolution that I could see?

Hi gents, I have started to learn the F-16C this month of August, and play mainly A-A PvP multiplayer. From this perspective (and not from solo mission and campaigns) I have made the following threat ranking assessment based on how many times I have won and/or lost against each type of jet. 1 is best, higher numbers are worse: 1) F-16C 2) JF-17 3) FC F-15C 4) DCS F-15E 5) J-11A 6) F-14B 7) F/A-18C 8 ) FC Su-27 9) Mirage 2000 10) FC Mig-29S The viper out accelerates and out runs the hornet any day. Because of this it can climb higher and faster for longer range AIM-120 shots over the hornet in a big way. By the time merge is reached I feel that I have the initiative and more options how to end the fight in the viper. Many times I find F/A-18's flying high the PK for my shots is much higher than against other vipers and eagles. Also, the Viper can maintain cruise speeds @ angels 30K+ altitude without engaging the afterburner with 6 AIM120's and 2 bags unlike the with F-15c 8 MRAAMs and 2 bags. However the eagle still has a larger fuel fraction so it can travel or loiter longer in those conditions. In same conditions the hornet has more difficulty defending against BVR attacks. Most hornet drivers like to do low and slow ambush cap from behind terrain features but only a minority are consistently performing at that regime. More often than not the hornet hardly find chances to explore its superior turning ability (not sure if this is 100% realistic as I have ever known of both trading blows). The JF-17 is extremely menacing due to lethal PL-12's and the jammer pod which can operate at same time as the radar unlike the ALQ-184 on the viper (unless you reduce op mode to 1 which is weaker). The jeff is generally a slower jet than the F-16C and its dogfighting ability is similar to the hornet's. That's why is not nº1. However not many people are flying this jet. The other jets below just suffer from not being dominating in BVR enough, and because of that they cannot dictate the merge conditions preventing them from getting that many chances of exploring their stronger attributes. Summing up. The F-16C with that GE F110 engine is a BEAST. Rocket ship really. Loads of fun to fly and the unobstructed view from the cockpit is fantastic. In DCS, when datalink is available the F-16C comes out on top over the hornet as speed and acceleration matters more in PvP. However for some carrier ops might be the deciding factor. I personally prefer the flight experience in PvP, for this reason F16C it is my fav.

Pilots enter the helicopter through the side doors of the fuselage, or am I wrong? Exiting the cabin is considered an emergency

1) What control setup do you have? With my WW set up, including extension, I do not find it at all twitchy. Do you have a lot of experience with DCS Warbirds? This can be a common concern with people coming to DCS, especially Warbirds. 2) I have not flown it as much as maybe others have, but I do not feel compelled to do any more trimming than I would expect. 3) This sounds like a 'feeling' thing I personally do not any experience in the real one, but I also do not seem to notice this much, perhaps linked back to the control setup you use. Do you have a track? 3?) It wasn't the fastest out there, but do you have some speed comparisons based on real-world factual data that we can look at? Feelings dont really help. 4) Some of this can be tuned in options, but a reasonable report would be more helpful, I think. They have already made some sound improvements. 5) This requires a report with tracks, you need to show them this happening in action, otherwise they are guessing at what you are experiencing and how or what led to the issue. By replying to your comments, I am not suggesting the F4U is done, complete and perfect yet, but these comments in many cases are not totally helpful without tracks, backing evidence, ect. You took the time to write this, which I am sure they will appreciate, but without more info, your effort might be wasted if they are not expanded on. ] Thanks.

I have a 7800x3d with a 4090 and 64gb ram having just started using frame rate display it shows I'm CPU limited, I am guessing this is normal? If you have a 9800x3d or 9950x3d are you still Cpu limited?

Some screens from the illumination stages of Enterprise '66, following the example of CV-59 Forrestal: Only IFLOLS on: AC Launch: AC recovery:

Is Specter Studios taking over for RB on the SA map? Are they taking over anything else?

What's a "short track?" I can see tracks in my Saved Games\DCS\Tracks\Multiplayer folder but they're all the entire match, not just the incident. How do I trim them down?

Thank you we appreciate the support.

My post was more about being realistic about the hardware requirements for high-end headsets, since “the best VR experience” can mean many things. Personally I’d consider higher framerate on a lower-resolution headset a better VR experience than 20-30 fps with a headset that gives you better visuals. I didn’t mean to suggest the G2 specifically, but ‘a’ headset with similar resolutions because I know the type of system that is needed to run it. So my suggestion would be to not aim too high, but you said you have a budget you want to respect so that’s a good guideline. I wouldn’t be comfortable with a used VR headset either. At the very least it would have to come with a brand new headband since that absorbs quite a lot of sweat. You get where I’m going with this
