I had the same problem ending up outside the cockpit. Try scanning your whole room by turning left / right / up / down with you headset and then recenter VR and then start flying. That helped me to stay within the cockpit (even on a motion rig). Seems like Pimax is adapting tracking / positioning when capturing new objects in the room. Therefore it seems mandatory to make a scanning process before flying...

No, we still need the North. What we have so far is South-West and East.

Tbf the 120s might be fired in STT mode, which RWRs should be able to pick up afaik. Nor does this mean the RWR was the only reason they managed to dodge missiles; pilots IRL are much more aware when they are in dangerous zones and will often go defensive as a precaution. Even with the F4s RWR, you get notified when the frequency of a detected radar changes. That way you can technically tell a lot of the time when a SAM or Fox 1 gets launched, if you were listening. Tho its pretty hard to be attentive enough to spot such a signal. Otherwise the SPO-15 is still an analogue RWR, so might be less evolved than the ALR-45? Wouldnt get my hopes up for it. Personally I hope the strengths and shortcoming are simulated; its already pretty weird how soviet FC3 planes have IRST act like stealth radars, when they had lots of limitations in reality. Imo the wrong logic, DCS is generally about being realistic. If you put an F4 vs a Mig-29, then 'blue suffers' too. Gotta put the planes in the fitting environment and it should be fine. Mig-29A would be 80s. And anyway, 'Redfor' is a made up thing. F16 is one of the most used red planes on those servers, while older settings see lots of Mirage F1s.

I tried it again, with dynamic pause, and the seized option of engine malfunction. Yes, it stop the engine from rolling, and the APU support the hydraulic pressure. But PC-1 and PC-2 read 0. If I move the stick a lot, it will finally run out of pressure, and the aircraft will become a brick fall out of the sky. If engine is not seized, rpm below than 10% will lead to the same thing. However, once the aircraft regain speed during falling, rpm will increase, and regain control again. Now I understood!

Летать на 5 000 метров и висеть немного разные вещи.

Understood. Glad to hear LOD is coming to all your packs. Any reason why the problem would go away for one player while in the Hornet, then come back again in the Apache? That part is what seemed odd to me.

Hello, Preferably for experimented simmers. It's a Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 with the doubled power mod (doubled internal resistors). The FFB motors are powered externally with an included AC 220V DC 24V 5A transformer. The original power supply board in the base of the FFB has been removed (it wasn't powerful enough and got hot). A switch on the base of the FFB allows you to turn the force on/off. Google "DCS MS FFB2 modded stick for you" for the power mod. There's a 20cm carbon fiber tube extension glued on the FFB base and a CH Products Combat Stick at the top. The FFB2's Z-axis rudder is no longer available. The stick can be rotated (and removed but wires cannot be removed) for right- or left-handed use (it's held by friction, but can be glued). There are two USB ports, one for the FFB2 and one for the Combat Stick. Used WIN11 DCS (warbirds and helicopters) and Condor Simulator (gliders). Force and effects can be managed with github joeyjojojunior/simFFB for DCS. In Condor Soaring this can be done in 'setup' without simFFB. The base attachment system is included and can be installed by removing the 3 screws under the base, add second plate, and rescrew with the wooden base on top. FFB2: 8 buttons (4 original on the FFB base, 4 on top of the stick, medium quality), extended slider on the base (throttle, trim, pitch, etc.). FigtherStick: X and Y axes with FFB, trigger (fire), 3 buttons, and 8 hats. Everything works (used for many many hours, now I moved to Rhino FFB) but there will be no support except for quick questions to answer. Asked 110E (50E for FFB2, 50E for FigtherStick, 10E for DC/AC 24V converter) + shipping (EU only) + insurance (5 Kgs). Private sale, no guarantee or return. Regards

Tracking: starts with jitter (the view moving up and down), then usually ending up outside of the cockpit. No delays. If tracking data is somehow captured, i can send it to you. Just let me know how. I have a high contrast backdrop, acoustic panels. This should make things easy, while it doesn't. But please note, only in DCS, not in Pimax Home.

The pilot would still use TID for that.

According to the CV NATOPS, 6.2.1, How does this work IRL, i.e., how and when is this altitude assigned? And what to do in the (single player) game? I normally just use 4.000 feet and wait for "charlie", but should this altitude have been passed to me by the tower on entering the CCA? Another one for the wish list?

I think he's talking about the pilot staying at hot aspect to allow radar to track

Yes, that would be the best approach—providing release notes along with a short video to highlight the latest features and adjustments. I’ll forward this to the team. Since I usually prepare the release notes, I’ll do my best to coordinate with them to make this happen. Roger that. Regarding the tracking issue—are you experiencing jitter, or is there a delay when turning left or right? As for the Smart Smoothing feature, it still requires some debugging, since we’ve found it isn’t providing stable performance at the moment.

They'd probably mention such a thing in one of the answers: https://flyandwire.com/2025/09/04/mig-29s-spo-15-rwr-qa-with-eagle-dynamics/

Unforunately Tu-154, Tu-134, Il-62, An-72, Il-86/96, Il-38 and many other interesting Soviet/Russian planes are still lacking in DCS, but at least prccowboy released his Tu-214 mod, containing civilian and several military/governmental verisons of Tu-214. Tupolev Tu-204/214 variants (AI only)

If it is inherently not designed to overspill as you say, then I doubt ED would take the trouble to model such a thing. Time will give us the answers, though.

I see. Its not unusual for DCS AI being focussed on one objective to the point where it ignores everything else, but that should be fixed for sure^^ Maybe its one of those software bug things: The supernatural flight capabilities either concealed other AI problems like the one you describe, or were used as a bandaid to put an indefinity temporary fix to problematic behaviours. I hope this improvement kicks off some more AI reworks, generally I think the Mig-21 flight model changes made the AI fights (both PvE and EvE) a LOT more interesting and believable.

Ich habe 3 physische Winwing MFD inkl. Display welche ich in meinem FA18 Cockpit nutze. Nun habe ich eine Quest 3 gekauft und starte DCS über die VR-Brille und den VirtualDesktop. Damit ich mein physisches Cockpit sehe, habe ich mit der Software OpenKneeboard den gesamten Bereich meiner Flug-Instrumente im Passthrough-Modus bedienbar gemacht. Das Funktioniert ohne Probleme. Wo ich jetzt anstehe ist: Ich sehe auf den physischen MFD Instrumenten Display jeweils nur einen weiteren Windows 11 Bildschirm. Ohne VR-Brille mache ich das Setup über die SimAppPro Software und dort geht es bestens. Aber wie projiziere ich die 3 MFD Bilder auf die physischen Instrument Display, damit ich die Screens der FA18 durch das VR-Passthrough-Mode auch wirklich sehe.

Now that is someone dedicated to bringing us some beautiful sceneries in DCS World. I would never imagine doing more of my day job as a side gig afterward. Thank you Specter for this level of dedication, which we all get to enjoy when flying through those maps.

Obviously he can join because of the Required Modules List which does not inhibit it. Thats why he sees a Su-27 instead of the Bronco. But anyway he needs the Bronco mod being installed to see an actual Bronco in the mission. Cheers, mb.

If the HUD and TGP pointers are not in the same place that implies that the plane knows that the HUD and TGP are pointing at different locations which seems weird to me.

Fixed the issue. Available with the next build, cheers Looks like DCS changes lead to the CATM not reporting "is infrared seeker" in the API anymore. So our F4 code didnt recognize it as Sidewinder variant anymore.

It's the same in IL2, noticeably the clouds are fubar.

He will need to have the mod installed, else he cannot even join the server.
