When the Afghanistan an Iraq maps came out, I found the Iraq one looking quite a lot better. Now, after some updates, I think Afghanistan is the better / more beautiful map. Not only the textures, but also the scenes on the ground. Afghanistan feels more "alive", at the bases as well as in the cities and villages. That being said, the mountain shapes in Afghanistan still need some work, but I understand that with so many mountains, this might take a toll on the performance of the map.

Awesome! Really looking forward to this and it looks great.

I have the same gripes with the campaign and ended up refunding it. 1. Advertising your other campaigns so aggressively was a mistake. The first time was irritating, after that (when half of the screen got plastered with the covers of the other campaigns) I was simply pissed. It was very immersion breaking. I even own the other campaigns, I don't need you to tell me to buy stuff. There are also much subtler ways to allude to your other work. 2. The constant intel spam by Arco1-1 was very annoying as well but from the other thread, I see now that this is not your fault. Still, this never happened to me before in any other campaign... 3. Like Lowtimer, I am not a fan of the missions being split into segments. I get the idea and after all it is a nice QoL but it really breaks the immersion that you just get dropped into your aircraft and you have to re-do all the communication channels, your set-up etc. etc. 4. Some voices were AI, I didn't like that either. From your reactions here, I can tell that you are clearly dedicated to improve your campaign. I will definitively rebuy it once that is done!

The Auto Start Script is supposed to be 1 GB in size?

Oh goody, that'll be fun Lol At least I kinda remember what was there before the crash and know which ones are stable. CH's mods we all know work and work great and a good chunk of others I have, we all have for the most part, and know they work great. Well, guess I'll get on that then...Yay...

fix

I had been on a DCS hiatus for a while and I'm jumping back. Up until now, I had always used labels, because I always thought spotting targets and bandits on a 32" monitor is more difficult than from a real cockpit. But, I decided to give a try to turning off the labels. My struggle is both BVR and also within 10 nm with Jester. Any bandit at 10 nm is mostly just a couple of pixels and I can't visually identify them. But Jester, He doesn't always tell you that you're locking a friendly even though you did, he's often losing lock, he more doesn't know if a target is friendly or foe (airborne unknown), etc. Finally, after maybe 10 campaign missions (Operation Sandworm), my AIM-54s have missed 100% of the time, although I do try to shoot them when being high and fast, within probably 40nm of my targets. Any tips on how you guys manage BVR with Jester (PvE) and how you make your Phoenix hit the targets?

Yes, removing mods should be the first thing to do. Remove all of them and check if it works. If it does, add one after another.

Не понимаю, к чему ваши сообщения. Почему не было звука захвата в видео выше, вы понимаете?

Definitley thought I tried the .old thing already but I guess I skipped that during a bunch of other crap...So, that worked but obviously I don't have any off my missions or anything else associated with that folder. What in a mod would cause the game to not connect to the log in servers and crash the game? Would the best bet be to start dropping mods in one at a time until I find the problem child and then give that one the middle finger?

Anyone working on the skins of the Tigermeet Vipers of this year? Would be great to see and fly "your" artworks...

Doesn't matter, you get access to whole map regardless which part you bought! Difference is which part you get the high resolution textures based on your purchase. Myself bought the Easter Afghanistan - why bc is had much more places to get advantages of high res textures. Will it change in the future I'm not aware and after flying a while I don't care. All I wait now is winter textures. No point in such heresy and despite my attempts there is no way to save space with this product.

I'd try what you're talking about in game but my game doesn't even load right now so maybe someone can verify this for me...I'm assuming you need to right click on each of the PCL's once NG is on the rise to "click" the PCL into idle. I wouldn't try using the scroll wheel due to the fact you might go past idle. Try that and see what happens.

1st AUTO mode is like switch every second, from HPRF to MPRF to achive best lock, there is no "random". 2nd Again, again and again im not going to repeat my self that P mode is complete joke, you can't achive lock more than 15-20km, even 20km is HUGE risk of lock breaking it's self, i don't know in what world did you get 35km lock on HOT target. Even in Wags video is mentioned some distance of 8nm. Simply radar is bugged it needs to be fixed and give it more power, to me it makes no sense to have 120km+ range on HPRF and 15km on MPRF, simple as that.

Again, very basic metric. Tells you nothing about for how long it can hold that power level and in what conditions. Apparently I do know it very well, as we're not comparing who was first in terms of a singular (or few) systems, but rather how expansive it was, and how well i corporated. We already derailed from a thread on SPO-15, so let's not hijack it further, but do know that SAGE was a system meant to synthesize a large amount of data from a multitude of sensors (radars) and project it on a general map of the world. That data still had to be verbally transferred to the pilots. It's strength lie in the collection of all data, supposed easy to read translation as well as automation with ground SAM sites. Soviets' however, took that a step further and integrated such automation on their planes. This was done in secrecy pre MiG-21 era. (Let's also not forget, that the radar, was a British invention, same as e.g. the jet engine). Anyways, if you wish to talk about this in depth, shoot me a PM.

I don't know if this is typical, but I prefer to learn enough Russian and Cyrillic to be able to orient myself in the cockpit while keeping the original unit system and labels. After all, this is a soviet plane, and as an aviation geek part of my joy is learning that CAY refers to autopilot in Russian . To help your non-Russian speaking customers planning to enjoy the airplane in its original unit system and language, could you include all the reference speeds, altitude and such in metric unit in the DCS manual ? (keeping their imperial unit equivalent for those preferring to keep their habit or who just wish to compare). Thank you.

The diamond currently appears to show the gimbal in the horizon stabilized coordinate system. But I think it should be relative to the aircrafts nose, and also not roll stabilized.

Ok understood, this was on purpose then. Gotcha

I am aware of the underlying logic, but at what frequency does this happen? Obviously, tens of times a second. In an ECM environment, the radar has to work longer at peak and sustained power in order to obtain a target. Again, how does it affect the electronics for the duration required? It is true that west has had more AWACS than east (afterall, US is the nation that requires a fully mobile force in order to virtually go anywhere (oceans on both sides of the continent)). That said, GCI was available way before AWACS, and US never had anywhere near the datalink/intercept capabilities that Soviets had. It's a pretty major capability to be able to infercept a target based on GCI telemetry, with your own radar in passive mode. It gets even worse, when you know that R-27T/ET can get you at BVR ranges, and that, covertly. That's a DCS/open source peculiarity where west discloses more. While I agree, that it is a much later iteration of a F-15 (C, not A - same aa F-16 btw...), I still do know for a fact that it will be morw difficult to learn and operate. While more automated electronics are in place, with realistic settings (radar, HOTAS, generally cockpit), you'll have to better understand the aircraft you fly in order to utilize it. That goes for use of onboard systems, that goes for radar competence and what works where and how. F-14 has a pretty good radar for its time, yet, being proficient at using it requires you to dedicate yourself to that rear seat as if it was a separate module itself. I haven't come across anyone who has been proficient with it yet. Same with AH-64D, surprisingly not as popular of a module as one would think. Why? - because it's too advanced for the common head to wrap around. F-15 with ASM, should be very much that. You have a decent amount of capability, but bringing it to good use, is not a point-and-click exercise. (Some westeners are surprised at how advanced MiG-29 is in its systems, and seek a simplification (FC3) already. Good luck with F-15 and some 34 HOTAS bindings x3 (Air/Ground/Cruise) alone...).

Please let me know if you need more details

I have to agree. It feels quite sterile as it is. The F4E is amazing with parts wobbling and moving around inside the cockpit. From the videos the very least should be the mirrors shaking and the sun sheild above the hud repeater flexing. Ed has done it with the Apache so I was hoping there would be something on this Mig.
