Well... whatever can be easily accessed through the hotas for a quick glance to grab coordinates and such. The multiplayer dedicated one clumps everything together; player messages, kills, players joining server etc. It can get impractical quite quickly in dense missions. In Single Player however, there is no such message/chat window for quick access. One must press 'escape' to get to 'message history' window, and even that doesn't have any filter to apply for better consulting a certain set of information. Of course, nothing like a good physical notepad and pen in hand like the folks that had flown/flies the real deal irl... or the Phantom canopy for that matter. lol OP mentioned the need to a hotas binding to grab that window up for quick access, and I think it is fair. Maybe something a dual virtual kneeboard can bring in an easy manner (2d and 3d).

I know the ZEL was a good idea but not feasible after testing. It was a high maintenance undertaking.

When flying near the SA-22 or Pantsir missile system, its Missiles don't give a warning, plus no Mods It does give a warning from SA-22, but not for Missiles Here 3 Tracks SA-22 No Missiles Warning - F18C.trk SA-22 No Missiles Warning - F16.trk SA-22 No Missiles Warning - A10C ll.trk

Yes, we all see the same !!!

Terrain has not loaded. When you notice “lakes” with housing floating, try pausing your sim - the missing textures will load after a small amount of time (this will prove this). There is something slowing your ability to load, try reducing some settings and see what works. I had similar with Syria for a while after it first came out, but several updates down the line when things are “polished” somewhat by the developer, it will improve. Syria now is extremely smooth for me. It’s still early days for the Germany map.

Yes, every client need to have the mod installed to see the effects. Unfortunately the mod is not mandatory, so if a client does not have it, the weather will be a default sunny day.

Nice, although a forum is not the best tool for reporting and managing bugs. There are legions like this one Bugzilla's not a monster that could fill the needs Well, if the C from DCS stand for circus, we all are the clowns. Just joking. Happy flying to everybody.

I have had the same problems (both). I haven't tried a repair yet but will. When I crashed the program sent a crash file to dcs so I didn't keep the track files. I'll run the repair and try again and keep the track file if still a problem. I'm flying mission one in outpost campaign.

Pressing the horn keybind Lctrl+Lshift+Lalt+8 makes the horn get stuck. It also happens if you assign a joystick button.

Hi bandit648 ! First of all, thank you for this great mod witch permits splendid atmosphere and game-play !!! I use it as much as possible during multiplayer missions. But I'm facing a little problem: Some player does not have it installed and do not want to loose time before we start as it is not mandatory. What happen, for example is that mod user are in the clouds and the other in a sunny day. Is there a way to detect if the mod is installed through a script or a piece of lua code ? If not would it be possible that if the mod is not installed it uses a dcs preset similar/close to the mod preset ?

Actually, theres a script for this now!

Sometimes this forum just cracks me up! [emoji1] Well done Tom! [emoji1303] Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk

Mission1 coms issue...when I am RTB, all tasks accomplished, I am told to contact arrival, i switch to the preset, nothing, continue flying, told to contact approach, switch to preset, nothing, eventually told to contact tower, nothing, I land, told to contact ground, nothing. Basically I am not hearing any voice on the different preselects on RTB. I land and only get a 50 for the mission and a draw, when all tasks have been completed. What am I missing? Thanks

Aha! I see. Two different systems? Or should it be one unified "message history". Personally I think it's better to keep them separately. If scrolling works in MP, why change it? Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk

The Tu-95 with all its different versions has always been primarily a strategic missile truck, rather than a conventional bomb-hauler. As you mention, an older version would be carrying the Kh-20 (nuclear) or Kh-22 (nuclear or conventional), but that's pretty much it (if we don't count the free-fall nuclear bombs). So, the Kh-22 would more or less be the only reasonable addition.

That would, after all, be the perfect time to get some flight tests done!

hi ! it's been a some time now that the vr mode existing in dcs but the glove and the scene of the home menu of the game don't change since it. diffèrent type and color of glove sélectionnable by user, and diffèrent scenes of the home menu of the game when we are in vr mode it will be great for more personalization ;)

I missed that "when" and interpreted as a command from the instructor. Thanks for clarifying. It happened to me once, during CQ M09. Flew the mission a second time and it was OK

A reasonable request.

I've just tried it a few minutes, without testing armament, but I can say it is an amazing work, tripod3. Thank you very much. My cold war missions are gonna be really better.

Yep, that's pretty accurate. 150m is less than half the 425m RED. So the fragmentation should incapacitate/render the majority of the site unusable, at least you would need to fix a lot of damage. As I pointed out above, currently the fragmentation is "faked" by blast damage, which is not perfect. Blast wave travels faster than fragmentation does. But actually DCS bomb damage felt like a joke, compared to real life, before. The adjustment definitely needs fine tuning, fragmentation calculated and in a perfect world even blast wave accumulation and reflection on objects, including over- and underpressure effects, but at least we now have bombs that can destroy/collapse buildings and do damage to vehicles without a direct hit! I am not sure if it's still linked on the GICHD site, but there was a nice damage area and damage distribution simulation linked, where you could see the distances on a simulated village. Also the document I linked, is really worth reading, especially the part of damage and casualty rates in urban areas (as secondary fragmentation increases the actual damage to people and unarmored/light armored vehicles). At least I hope there's an interest in understanding the real life effects and distances, with exactly the problems for weapon employment under ROE, which led to the development of low collateral damage weapons like the BLU-39 or BLU-129/B.

Hi Thanks a lot for replying to me. I have gone back and looked at the track, and I surprisingly noticed that the plane was actually flying over a piece of land. However, what I could see was water, water, everywhere. Now I know the issue could be a VR-related issue. However, I own many maps , for example : Syria , Sinai , Nevada .... , only Cold War Germany is doing this to me . I have tried different headsets, and what I can see is that the same issue happens in the same location . When a map is totally strange to you, you just do not know if the place should be a piece of land or a big lake. a 19th of aug..trk dcs.log.old
