  1. Past hour
  2. All the people who have been alienated from MP in some way, should form a squadron of misfits, or black sheep, if you will.
  3. I don't fully understand scoring in multplayer. As it is, I get every single loss credited, but about 1/3rd of my kills, and every "ambiguous" kill goes against me. I mean 100%. For instance (and these are WW2 Normandy 2.0 examples) , an opponent is flying straight at me and we're both shooting at each other ... before colliding head on and exploding. I get a death, my opponent gets a kill and a death. Or I get strafed on the tarmac while waiting to take off ... I get a loss, opponent gets a kill. Okay, makes sense. I return the favor and strafe the opponent on the tarmac, leaving him a smoking pile of rubble ... I get no kill. I shoot down a bomber, but another another bomber shoots me to pieces and I bail. 1 loss, no wins. Even in straight-out, I shoot the opposing plane, it goes down in flames, I see it crash ... sometimes I get the kill, often I don't. I don't get it ... It's like the phase of the moon has to be just right or something. The scoreboard never misses a loss, though. Oh no. No, no. If I sneeze during a maneuver I get a freaking loss. Suddenly the scoreboard knows how to react with immediate pinpoint accuracy. It's a miracle! I fly the Bf-109, it almost feels like an Allied vs Reich thing. I mean, during the war there were over 100 German pilots with over 100 kills, but the best Allied pilot had 40, and the #4 guy was already down in the 20s. Maybe this is DCS's way of giving them a fighting chance. The Allies just have to look at us cross-eyed and they get a kill but apparently we have to follow them down, go to their crash site, pull out a stethoscope, and verify expiration for us to get one. At first I thought I was just being paranoid, or being a whiner (which I'm sure can happen from time to time), but this week I paid close attention and it's overt and obvious. Does anyone know what the general rule is for kills in MP? For instance, in a head-on mutual-obliteration crash, who is supposed to get kill-credited?
  4. I've got this same problem. I've tried adjusting it to where the tension was just enough to keep the weight of the throttle handles from moving the throttles. Still gets stuck. After staying in the same position for about ten to fifteen seconds the resistance is light enough to push through without a lurch. But, after about thirty seconds it creates enough resistance that it lurches after finally releasing. After about a minute or two it almost won't move without a significant amount of pressure. Which, for older aircraft, like the Mustang, having the RPMs suddenly jump makes the aircraft unstable at takeoff. Once it breaks loose it's really smooth. There is a flaw in the design. I haven't had this problem since the Saitek sticks wearing out on the shaft and creating stiction. I wonder if creating a custom larger base and just using a lower/downward extension and counter weight with bearings for the pivot point will solve it. Might be a fun project. The other thing I noticed that I'm not crazy about is the sliders having so little resistance.
  5. You "believe" that the IR missiles should be more resistant to flares because they are newer gen missiles. Ok..., then what about the AIM-9X fired from an F-18 at some Su-22 in Syria and which was rapidly trashed by the Su-22 dropping flares (maybe preventive) and so the F-18 pilot got a little mad o see his wonderful AIM-9X go for flares and so fired an AIM-120 to make sure he hits that Su-22? Was that AIM-9X from the 70s? What we think is sometimes and maybe most of the time very different from reality!
  6. So, for now, until a bug is resolved, I need to set the QFE of the target on the altimeter?
  7. We need that oldtimey wooden ladder. It'd be correct for the state of our SPO-15.
  8. Yesterday
  9. Its reported. The lower position a sort of Standby position. Over the canopy rail when someone actually wants to get in.
  10. Well there goes the rest of my weekend. I'll be trying some mods to those values. Thanks Mav87th - some good info there. For anyone else interested in joining us to in improve the Mosquito's 2 wheel landing characteristics, the file is ... <??>:\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\MosquitoFBMkVI\FM\FMOptions.lua
  11. Ah, I see. Thanks! [emoji1303] Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk
  12. Thank you. It seems there are no photographs after all. If one were to imagine the actual camouflage, the tail and belly would be painted yellow, with the German national markings and the swastika on the tailplane.
  13. What he means is that the Hornet in DCS has a TACAN database page in the HSI submenus that is populated with the TACAN stations on the Caucasus map (which IRL doesn't have TACAN stations in Georgia), but not the other maps.
  14. Hey guys, This is truly a very good mod and I’m enjoying it. Thank you. I would request that for the next update, if the interior lights could be mapped to rotary dials. As of now, the light’s brightness and dimming are only mapped to axis/ potentiometer style controls. Thank you. Rudel, I hope your medical procedure went well and good work on the training missions.
  15. I figured it out. I had BLUFOR assets on the airfield. Neutral assets only on Neutral Airfields. Otherwise the aircraft will refuse to land at all.
  16. I found my mistake. I didnt select 1x3

  18. I reported this before. Clouds ceiling cannot be adjusted by meter. It's a game limitation. However, the ME makes you believe you can. I'll bump the report so the ME shows this limitation.

  20. OK, but how do we send a private message from here? (Try not to think I'm stupid, but my generation and computers aren't always compatible, hehe)
  21. Just as a troubleshooting idea, and because I have literally no idea what else to try, I made a brand new DCS account and tried the game with it (and everything but the base free modules removed). Same outcome, no dice.
  22. Are there plans to organize all of the untitled/un-named helicopter bases that are marked as "H"? It's very challenging to sort/list/find all of these H airbases, especially when applying dynamic warehouse features.
  23. DM me and I'll help directly. All this stuff is unrelated to the original post so lets not spam this thread.
  24. Hello again. I did as you explained. I downloaded (mbucchia/Quad-Views-Foveated:) then (TallyMouse/QuadViewsCompanion). When I open it, a window appears with settings and a turbo mode checked. However, when I install Quad-Views-Foveated, I can't open it because when I click on it, a window tells me it's installed. And I still have my problem of having the quad view box checked but grayed out, and I can't change this box in the dcs VR settings. But where I can turn the quad view on or off is at the very beginning of dcs startup, using the switch at the bottom of the page when launching dcs. So my question is, is the quad view mode on or off? How can I know?
  25. I just updated from Windows 10 to 11. Now when I go to set up Surround it will only allow me to select two monitors. In the setup multiple display i can see all four monitors. Does anyone have a solution to this beside going back to Windows 10. EVGA 3080
