I didn't say that, but anyone that keeps asking for more things instead of enjoying what we already have been given, does come across as a bit ungrateful.

TACT 25-1 Tactical Air Combat Tournament Signups are in Discord Tactical Air Combat Tournament, TACT, is an air-to-air competition among DCS squadrons with a high emphasis on PVP. It's designed to run over a couple of months in a championship type format (exact details will depend on the amount of teams that sign up). As many matches as possible will be streamed live. The event has its own discord server, check it out here: https://discord.gg/yK76uK4x Schedule TACT 25-1 will run late September to early December. The exact schedule will be published after sign ups close. Teams can reschedule their matches based on availability, within reason, and as long as it isn't detrimental to the playoff schedule. Prizes There will be no prizes. We fly for glory! Streams We will try to accommodate as much live streaming of matches as we possibly can. Like past seasons, we will invite several popular streamers that can contribute to bringing TACT alive for the audience. Streamers/Links: TBA Missions There will be a total of 4-5 missions in the event. All missions will have similar distance, layout and weather (e.g. no extreme mountains or overcast). Some missions will be flown in theaters other than Caucasus. Only if both squads can field enough pilots in a given theater can it be chosen. The fall back option is to fly on one of the Caucasus missions. Results submission Match results shall be submitted by the winning team in the TACT discord (results and tacviews). Any disputes will be resolved among team representatives in the TACT discord. Signup Please see Discord sign up channel for full details on SIgn ups TACT RULES LINK TACT 25-1 RULES Only full fidelity modules are allowed. The match format is a 8 vs 8 , best of three rounds air superiority mission. The tournament is open for virtual squadrons only. We recognize that not all squads can field 8 pilots (+ reserves) for every match. If a Team expects to be short on match day they are allowed to recruit up to 2 additional temporary pilots to complete the 8 plane roster during group phase matches. Mercenaries are subject to the below rules Each team is given mercenary “tokens” 1 merc playing in 1 match (regardless of round numbers flown) equals 1 token use Teams are given 2 Merc tokens for the group phase Teams are given 1 Merc token for the playoffs Tokens do not carry over from the group phase into the playoffs To allow smaller teams to join, teams also have the option to combine into composite teams. A composite team may consist of up to two squads. Example: Squad A of 5 pilots combine with squad B of 4 pilots, to form Team X. Together they can put up at least 8 pilots. Bullseye will be centered between the starting airfields. Surrounding bullseye, there will be an engagement bubble*, 90-96 nm in diameter (3 nm warning zone). TACT 25-1 will be run without any AWACS. All aircraft must be within the bubble at least 10 min after the first aircraft enters the bubble. Each round consists of one sortie per pilot. If a pilot lands, he/she cannot take off again**. After being shot down or crashing, the player must leave the server until the round ends. Each round is won if one of the two mission criterias is achieved. i) All of the opposing planes are destroyed while the winners have aircraft within the bubble ii) if a team has total air superiority in the bubble* for 5 min. At least 1 aircraft must land after the mission criteria is reached. The script will announce the winner by a message. To promote combat and active engagements, the remaining pilots must land at the opposing team’s airbase. Returning to one’s own airbase is considered a loss of that aircraft. A team must not intentionally destroy the takeoff airfield/runways to hinder the other team's landing. If a pilot disconnects after the match starts (*GO GO GO* call), they are considered dead and must leave the server for that round. (team is allowed to have reserve pilots in the server up until the gogogo, at that point any extra pilot must disconnect) Home Team will always start with the BLUE side, Away Team starts with the RED side. Then the teams will switch sides for each following round. Weapon restrictions, see last page Specific rules: Jester is allowed Changing planes between rounds is allowed No stream sniping Use of all ECM is prohibited Use of 16 s or 32 s memory mode for the F/A-18C in the FCR is prohibited If your aircraft is dead in Game master, you are to immediately eject/disconnect, under no circumstances is a dead in game master aircraft allowed to engage enemy aircraft. No DCS instrument exports may be used to overlay the game window. Exports to other screens/MFD are allowed as usual. Random samples of server screenshots may be taken Violations to these above rules will result in a round loss for the offending team DCS bugs and exploits must not be used to gain an advantage. Examples include (but not limited to) current ECM modeling, extreme memory mode in the hornet (16+ seconds), AOA rolling missiles, or any other issues with dcs that may arise. Issues here are subject to review and may result in a warning, round loss, or further punishment Teams should avoid unfriendly or unsportsmanlike behavior. Not every rule can be explicitly stated and teams should fly to the spirit of the competition. *Bubble script logic description: When plane enters the inner zone, a message is sent to the group to inform them entering the zone. When plane exits the inner zone the group will get warning about exiting battle area. When plane exits the outer zone, it is counted as being out of the battle area and a message is sent to the group. When plane re-enters the outer zone a warning is given about re-entering the battle area. When plane re-enters the inner zone it's blown up. When plane (inside the zone) speed reach below 5 m/s and altitude above ground less than 7 m, it will be exploded. When plane crashes the slot is reset so that it can enter the battle area again. Weapon restrictions:, No A2G weapons (including TALD and nukes). Two further restrictions will be in place A maximum of 6 (six) AIM-120 on any airframe. A Maximum of 8 total missiles on any airframe NO AIM-9X on any airframe. Violations of the payload rule will lead to an automatic loss of that round. See list below of allowed loadouts. ------------ Allowed ordnance: Aim-7 (all versions) Aim-9 (only 9M or older, no 9X) Aim-120 (all versions, max 6) Aim-54 (all versions) SD-10 PL-5EII Super 530D Magic II R-3R, R-3S R-60, R-60M LITENING TGP, ATFLIR TGP, LANTIRN TGP, WMD-7 TGP, KG-600 SPJ pod, SPS-141, ASO-2 All fuel tanks ------------ *A quick RTB is allowed before combat has started to resolve INS or payload issues. Signups are open! MISSIONS coming soon

Haha! Yeah, funny... well, where is the event? Because SRS support said there is not.

Hi. Currently - Combined Arms driveable vehicles have a "Visible before activation" option that allows the vehicle to be visible before being controlled. Adding this option for aircraft that "takeoff from ground" or "takeoff from ramp" would allow mission editors to populate flight lines that otherwise look rather empty when populated with mostly "client" aircraft, unless populated with static or uncontrollable aircraft. If these assets are then destructible, then this would also add a PvE or PvP element where a flight line's aircraft could be vulnerable.

He probably mean the tool that allow you to create a custom flight path and load it on the plane in SP/MP.

Hi there could you tell where did you find the following files so i that i can check if i have gotten all the possible ranks and medals for my country. Best regards.

The problem is that CAS missions are no longer possible. You cannot drop a bomb anywhere near friendly troops they have to be well outside of their firing range. It's ridiculous.

Who said I was not grateful?

Update v1.1.5: Gunthrek Academy: F/A-18 Hornet - Bagel Fixpack Edition

The AG radar was untouched, target was either waypoint with tgp slaved or tgp selected. You can even see the waypoint circle in the correct position on the radar. HSD is the only one not in line with the TGP and HUD indicators.

Do you have any latitude in what you can model for DCS? We need a P-14 Tall King that works with the SA-5 and a a genreal EWR for the Cold War Germany map

Is there any way to steer this thing on the ground during taxi? I also didn't find any binding to control both brakes with a single key or axis.

You slave him to that TSD point (short consent to fire press) and then order TADS LOS search (long down). Select target from the list as you were doing before and that's it.

I'm taking notes thanks

I think its an issue with pimax play (PP) and Mbuccha's quadviews. I cant get native PP quadviews to run past 30fps but cant get PP to run DCS reliably with Mbuccha quadviews which gives me around 80 to 90 fps. Am working on this. Thanks!

In this mission all slots are Dynamic Spawns. Click on Dynamic Spawn tab to load into any Module you own.

Hello- I just purchased the Germany map, and when I loaded in, I found strange artifacts in my VR headset, mainly a dark line that goes across my line-of-sight and things get smeary below it. On my monitor, you can see the dot pattern thats everywhere. This only seems to happen on this map, though I've only also tested the Caucuses map, but in there everything looks and works fine. After extensive testing of different settings, it seems to be tied to pixel density. Anything above 1.0 causes this (I typically run at 1.3 as the cockpit is too blurry to see everything in my Q3). It happens regardless of whether this is set in game settings or oculus link. The only semi-workaround I've found is to set PD to 1.0 in game and the link app, and use the debug tool to increase PPD, however this results in jagged edges, shimmering everywhere, and basically like an old TV with the sharpening knob turned as high as it will go; blurry, but with definition. Any tips, advice? Is this a bug? If so, is this known about so it can be fixed? I haven't been able to find any discussions about it and at this point I either have to deal with the artifacts and smearing or everything being slightly blurry, and neither one is really a good solution. Cheers

Feel free to provide the devs with the guidance details. It will improve the simulation for sure. Otherwise it ends with "Probably" and "I don't think".

If you really like the D9’s flight model compared to the K4, I’d highly encourage you to give the free TF-51 module a try, and if you like it, to fork out some cash for the P-51. I think the FM is even better than the D9, and one of the best available for any sim. The Mustang and Dora are my two favorite of the DCS warbird offerings.

Train Deactivation was working Perfectly in the DCS ST Version. I gave very detailed information about the problems of Deactivation not working way back in the trial MT Version. Its great that some other problems were fixed - the wobbling catapiller train movements are fixed and the wheels not turning are fixed. Then they just removed the ST version. So any Train you add to a mission in the MT Version cannot be removed. Trains of many wagons or coaches eat up resources if not able to be removed when their journey is over. This means you could end up with 10 trains all sitting on top of each other at the busy London Terminus Stations. If you deactivate them they do dissapear from the F10 Map. However they sail off over the City in the game view to a never ending destination. Just needs the MT coding looked at im sure its a small glitch.

I consider this to be an extremely important omission, as I am improving the HighDigitSAMs mod, whose name speaks for itself here What is the point of the S-300PMU-2 with a range of 200 km if the pilot's RWR immediately starts warning about the launch? The same applies to the Patriot PAC-2 from CurrentHill, which, apparently, will sooner or later be added to the game following the current asset pack.

How do I have to setup a mission to start with another random wheather situation at each mission start?

so far i have re installed quest desktop app , removed windows mixed reality app, openxr app removed.... only thing left is to reformat ..lol i uploaded dxdiag so if anything shows up that should not let me know...thanks... DxDiag.txt

How to steer this beast during taxi and on the ground? How to break without crash?
