Interesting that you don't use it. I use it all the time because that's how you get a stabilized ground-referenced view from which to find and designate targets if they aren't near a waypoint to designate.

I was estimating the impact by my knowledge, I didn't know that the f15e have independent mirror. If it works well, that is a good news.

Changes get missed all the time (case in point the mk-80 series warheads change) I honestly never used snowplow when it did exist. Who knows when it got removed. Could have been years.

Possibly. But if that's true I wonder why it wasn't in the change logs, why no one else has mentioned it, and why it's discussed specifically in both the manual and most current Chuck's guide.

I find the Frame Generation to actually work very well in other games. That’s not available (or needed for myself) in DCS.

Brazilian missile never happened. They couldn’t make it due to US sanctions on the needed anti radiation equipment. Replaced with LD-10

I am about to venture into the DCS world and I am lost and looking where to get started with the bindings or profile uploads to make it easier. I have all the goodies to start with including VKB rudder, NXT EVO premium (R) and the Stec Standard. I need help with the bindings to help me get up and flying. I read somewhere I can easily upload a profile to make life easier. I'd appreciate any help or direction on how to get started as I kinda feel overwhelmed with all the bindings I may have to do not knowing where to start. I am excited to begin this journey. Thanks in advance. BTW am looking to learn the F/A 18 IMG_4817.heic

It may have been removed as an inaccuracy at some point. Documents on the ATFLIR do not mention any snowplow function, only VVSL. At least the one that i have.

Fare enough. Just trying to see how many people out there would enjoy it. I will save this hype train for another year when ED is closer to having the above missing building blocks if that ever becomes a reality.

I'd love to try it, but I don't get why discord is required ????

I've been playing the included weapons qual missions that come with the JF17. The first track is that mission the second track is a quick ME mission starting hot in the air. I tried both missions about 6 times accumulatively and it stays consistently falling short no matter the INS alignment (which should be "perfect" considering its an air start and the target is only a handful of miles away). I even played around with fuse timing and doesn't help. JF17 Cluster Bomb Fall Short 2.trk JF17 Cluster Bomb Fall Short.trk

Unfortunately I believe you're right. Graphics and videos are not really made for that. Miracles may happen though. [emoji6] Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk

I stopped using OvGME and went back to JSGME. OvG didn't back up the original files or delete the loaded ones when I tried to disable a mod, which prevented me from joining a multiplayer server several times. When I checked the DCS integrity, I usually got a message that the game files were missing, and I had to re-download them. It's actually quite strange. I don't have these problems with JSG. Everything works perfectly; I can enable and disable mods without any errors, both in the savegames folder and in the DCS root folder.

How about wind over deck? Are you starting on a carrier each time? Switching back and forth from airfield to carrier? Is the carrier always facing the same angle into the same wind speed? I haven’t noticed anything like this yet, but it is an early access module and anything is possible.

Still not working. Anyone else?

It does that to me every other day or so and instead of restarting DCS and the IR software one user in the past gave great advice just unplug the USB wait few seconds and plug back in...that fixes it to me every time... worth a try...

There are so many things that I personally would like to see. Cyclic ops is a no go IMHO as it is just too dynamic and the ins and outs are vast. There are so many variables. Keep in mind while all of this is happening, you have deck personnel of all colors going in every direction that you can think of, while trying to not get ran over, blown over or decapitated! I'll cut right to what I think could/should be implemented and would be within the scope of things. 1. Arm/De-arm of weapons. When an aircraft gets into position on the catapult, red shirted ordnance personnel have to arm the weapon BEFORE the launch bar engages the shuttle. When an aircraft traps, before the wings fold, those ordnance personnel line up aft of JBD 1 and 2 on one side, and an opposite line on the other. The aircraft clears the LA and stops just long enough for the arming pins to be inserted and missile caps to be put on. After that, the director tells the pilot to fold the wings and sends the aircraft to the parking spot. Another thing DCS doesn't simulate is proper parking. We usually send recovering aircraft to the bow, or to the Fighter line. Not aft to the fantail. That happens later! 2. Catapult end speed. Currently in DCS you can get shot off at any weight and any load. As I stated earlier, IRL the Shooters get a weight chit to calculate how much Oomph an aircraft will get to get airborne. There are many variations to aircraft weight, and they are usually close but still different as you can imagine. Contrary to what some think, burner shots don't always happen! I've seen more Mil shots than burner shots. That too is weight dependent. 5 wets' usually (obviously) use burner. Growlers are usually heavy also! 3. Better LSO interaction. I'd like the LSO to recognize a Touch and go from a bolter. More sugar calls. If I perform a CAT-trap-cat or want to have my own personal CQ session, I shouldn't have to contact CATCC every time. 4. Recovery tanker. There used to always be a recovery tanker circling overhead. Sometimes IMHO, the S-3 in game ventures way too far out. 5.Beter CATCC interaction. If you are bingo on the ball, CATCC directs you to the hawking tanker. 6.One Shooter one the bow and on the waist. Currently in DCS there are Shooters for each CAT. IRL there is one on the bow and one on the waist. Anything else would be a conflict. Simultaneous launches don't happen IRL. While there can be an aircraft going off of the waist and one off of the bow very near simultaneously, they are kept staggered for safety issues. Hence the clearing turns! They never go off of the bow at the same time, as I've seen in some Youtubers videos. When this is coordinated and authorized, a covey launch can be performed. This is an aircraft leaving the bow and leaving the waist nearly simultaneously. This is done to save time trying to form up with the wingman. But it has to be coordinated. 7. Last but not least, the Barricade. IDK if that's too much but I think it's way more doable than Cyclic flight ops! I'd like to see Helo ops, but I first would like to see a new helo model. Our SH-60 needs some love, or we need a new MH-60R/MH-60S! I hope I answered your questions. Please feel free to ask more.

They finally managed an email that didn't sound like the product of an AI bot running on a Casio wristwatch. It's been on a shelf in Japan since it cleared customs 12th July and will now be shipped to me in "3 to 5 days". So that'll be at least a fortnight. New world record. One might think they've sold thousands of units to Japan, instead of the actual handful.

I believe F-35 in DCS will actually be great for MP. Looking forward to the succes of F-35 servers. It will attract lots of people not interested into realism, thus causing other servers to have more realism oriented average.

Depends on the time frame. It would have made life much more difficult on the Allies on the Western Front and probably would have extended the life of the Luftwaffe. The lack of engagement against Single Engine Fighters was a huge mistake. SE Fighters are the instrument of Air Superiority and by May 1944 there was no safe haven even over their own airfields. It would have prolonged the war but not changed the outcome. Possibly even prolonging it enough for the Me262 to make more of an impact but nothing could change the outcome of the simply overwhelming armada arrayed against them. The Allies fielded bomber missions that contained more bombers than the Luftwaffe had fighters to shoot them down. Some of the raids in 1944, the Allies put more Aircraft in the sky than the entire Luftwaffe Fighter Forces on all fronts combined. This the Defense of the Reich strengths on 3 June 1944: The units we previously listed stationed in France were stripped away to deal with the Normandy landing further reducing the fighters available to fend off the Allied bomber campaign.

Hey everyone, so my TrackIR froze mid mission tonight. I pulled up the software and it was still open and connected, and showing my head moving around. But when I went back to DCS it was still frozen. Closed and restarted TrackIR multiple times but couldn't get it to work. I know there's a way to pause TrackIR but I've never used it, and I didn't do anything when it froze. Anybody ever had this issue? Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help. PS...I did recently update the TrackIR software...so that could be the culprit? But I'm not sure why it worked for an hour flawlessly before freezing.

Yeah, it's not uncommon for prebuilts to bilk you for brand name CPU and GPU, while skimping on the mobo, RAM, and storage. If they only mention storage and RAM capacity, it's a good bet they'll be on the slower end.

If ED wants to continue using the phrase "the most detailed and realistic simulation" to describe the module, ED must fully implement carrier operations that is not a hard thing for ED to do, even if it means rebuilding the Supercarrier from scratch. We bought the Supercarrier because we trusted ED, and we're stating our opinions on the wish list. ED should not treat your customers' feelings with contempt.
