The truth is that Wags has an assistant who moves the mouse very slowly and smoothly.

My only objection to this thread is calling this content "bloatware". Poor choice of words.. Now, as for making the handful of GBs of content optional (10-15Gb if I read the OP correctly)... Is it really worth the dev time and gained complexity for such a small gain? Because, I can see the complains already for the additional bugs in the installer... null

What I meant was that I could get rid of more stuff but didn't spend more time to do it - making my point for the thread topic I guess.

You can check your saved games/tracks folder to see if it auto saved. Otherwise, you’ll have to re-fly it. Also, there are already a few threads with this same topic. You just created another one. One of them has been open for a while and has lots of discussion. I’m betting your issue is something already experienced, discussed, and resolved. Have a look in the other threads as well. You didn’t mention opening your oil flaps, so you may have cooked the engine. That’s all I can offer at the moment based on the info you gave above.

Odd that the LS-6-250 and the LS-6-500 bombs have the same drag.

Saw the topic about Tinian Airfield Reactivation Video and figure out that it would be nice not only to flash that abandoned airfield but also to make more Transport missions with future release of C-130J. Of course it will require refueling at Midway, Wake or Sand Island? So yeah NTTR - Hawaii - Wake - Guam...

Precisely

What you call "bloatware" is not. It is not unnecessary (for me, an other who had posted here at the very least) and therefore it does not match the definition of bloatware. At best, or worst, depending on the point of view, it should be optional content.

Just to add, weird thing is I flew the mission once with no issues and this problem cropped up once I tried to add some ordinance. I was still under gross weight so it shouldn't have been an issue. Is there any way to retrieve the track if I already shut DCS down? If not, I need to go re-fly the mission tomorrow. Thanks, LouP

Please refer to the thread title before sharing your opinion on "what is worth it" (for you). The issue is about bloat: the liveries cause a noticeable increase in storage space while not adding any meaningful value. FYI I have 2 separate installations of DCS (latest + older, more performant one with mods), so yeah it's not just about saving a few GBs, they add up and bloat the install. Don't forget they also consume extra VRAM when 4 jets next to you are using 4 different liveries. In the end, it has a net negative effect on everyone.

It’s a flight simulator. The liveries are just about the chief artwork in the game.

Hi, I'm working on a full ILS usable beacons.lua file. As far as I could see, there was an issue with frankfurt main runway ILS issues, solved thanks @drPhibes, I could make Frankfurt, Hamburg, Hannover, and Berlin "secondary" runways usable, and corrected Hamburg Finkenwerder ILS issue, as the glideslope and the localizer where mixed. So If you noticed some bugs or inaccuracies on some ILS airfields, just let me know, so I can make an edited lua file , with all corrections that I could make. The file will be shared on the user files, with kneeboard files so you can choose the runway You want to land, and have the ILS informations for them. I edited also the Hahn frequencies to 111.30 for the runway 21, and 109.30 for the runway 03. Those are virtual frequencies, as at this time, I didin't found any information about the cold war period for the ILS fresuencies. I will share my work with the help of @drPhibes ASAP and keep it up to date ASAP as every update will change the original file. I saw that the devs has taken in account a lot modifications I've made, so I have a great hope of an original file that will be 100% functional over the time.

I'm so glad that I don't have to purchase them, I get to employ them for free on my own missions as either enemy or allied AI aircrafts and assets.

Dang...sorry to hear this for many reasons. I'm expecting my Ultrawide sometime next month...unclear if it will suffer the same fate. Hang in there!

Sorry I never kept one for that as I didn't expect someone to report it. I'll keep it in mind if it repeats.

I always wonder what was the story of that abandoned airfield?

It's already implemented. What's the problem? You don't know how your airfield looks like? How did you get there in the first place?

Hello, I would like to ask about two specific Airfields in PG map. The one I noticed on SAT picturnulle of the map - Zahedan The other one is 'no name' and I wonder what are the plans with it - info in the screenshot However Zahedan airport I noticed first on Afghanistan map and transferred the beacon info to PG which make me wonder 'How can I create Airports/AFB on a map"?null

Yeah, I basically just use paper and pencil and the F10 map, and hand calculate everything. The only thing that is really missing as far as in-game tools and data goes is fuel planning. You can either wing it using rough estimates or try and crunch through the 100 pages of performance charts in the appendix of the IRL manual.

I think it works. Iirc there's a 3 way for the color and a turning knob for the brightness. At least it worked when I last tried it out before the update.

I'm just playing mission 2 and I got error cannot open speed and angels 02b_parade.miz two times in a row. even after repair

Yeah, I think that you need a Quest 3 or newer to make it worthwhile.

@Pikey Question: will original triggers work in the saved game if not triggered in the original mission? Fyi - I tested to see if the un-triggered, triggers worked in the saved game & the do.

You were right what threads would be in here, if bombs would not explode.
