I suspect that the AI isn't tightly controlled during replays, and has some leeway it shouldn't have. This causes errors compares to the original flight, errors that will propagate with time, leading to vastly different outcomes.

> This is compounded by a couple factors, including "Strike" giving directions to targets in very uncertain terms ("Bogies to the West", "Bandits flying from Abu Musa") rather than proper BRAA calls. There's a pretty egregious example of this in Mission 14 when the enemy helos take off from Abu Musa about 8 miles from the helos you're trying to protect. The radio call tells you they're at Angels 1.6, so obviously Strike knows exactly where those helos are, but he doesn't give you any kind of range indication at all. A simple "from Abu Musa" or "at 8 miles" would have made it way easier to find these things, I had no idea where to look for them since I know from previous missions that sometimes stuff just spawns in the air hot on you. The entire call is "bandits west angels 1.6 hot."

Hello folks, Currently, I have a i5 10600K, RTX 3070 with 32 GB RAM, which gives me a solid 60FPS on my pancake setup. I was quite content with it until I have made the switch and I purchased a Quest 3 a few months back and I can see that my rig is not sufficient for VR; I can get about 40 FPS at VR graphic preset with 1.1 PD. So, I intend to get a new rig, and I am aiming for a safe 72 FPS to match my headset refresh rate, with DCS graphic settings at High and a PD of 1.5. I am not after getting a top-of-the-line rig; I just need something good enough to meet my 72FPS@High@PD1.5 goal. I've been an Intel/Nvidia fan always, and I wish to stick with the Intel/Nvidia pair. Cost is not a top concern. What do you you guys recommend?

Yeah I don't have a feel for the HARM range yet so I was trying to push it either until the threat ring or until the SA-6 locked me up, didn't realize it was locking my wing (he's a computer and doesn't communicate)

Make sure the default view is in the correct position so that you see the full HUD without anything being outside of the view box. Once the default view is correct, you shouldn't have any issue. Also make a habit to reset your Opentrack view from time to time as it may drift ever so slightly.

I support but it's a wrong subforum for that wish.

In fairness, he never stopped updating this map (and since it's "his" map, he's been the one updating it all along). Razbam was only the publisher and even after they publicly announced they were stopping pushing updates to the F-15 etc, there were still SA map updates pushed.

Can you show exactly where did you placed the mod's files? ... mine are here (my DCS folder at saved games is actually called "DCS.296"):

Thanks @omnijinx will take a look. Looking at mission plan, message comes at 19.7 miles to SAM, the red line kill range is 13.4 miles. The idea is if you both do a 180 as soon as you get the warning you will have both cleared the 13.4 mile kill range. That's how I have always flown the mission. Notice you kept flying to the SAM until your wing was hit. Hope this helps.

Надо будет по возможности проверить Х-25, в таком случае. И кстати спасибо за уточнение по поводу систем наведения. А есть где поточнее почитать про конкретно системы наведения Камовского и Апача? Я нашёл пару статей на киберленинке про лазерные системы наведения ВТО, но вдруг есть что ещё

Are you talking about the Heads Up Display (HUD) or the Multi-function Display (MFD?) At any rate it sounds like you need to adjust your Snapview Settings. Here are links to a couple of videos on how to do it:

I don’t fly the F-16 but that HUD behavior might be realistic. The A-10 HUD image extends beyond the edges of the glass and you need to move your head to see it all.

Maybe GameStop could stock some DCS discs

That was my first starting point. a hint might be that I could get almost non of the suggestions to work. The 8k shadows did work but broke integrity check I did successfully create the autoexe file to keep hud and mfd away from dlss (but that got wiped out when I removed the dcs folder for trouble shooting... I see no difference) I did add the dcs exe to pimax play no problem I did setup pimax play no problem 1) Dcs doesnt show up in DLSS swapper main page I tried to add it but not sure if its even working 2)Nvidia profile inspector doesnt have DCS.exe. I use Digital combat simulator black shark from the list which in my case has no "DLSS overrides" as shown in the video and no options with SR listed that I can find 3)Mbuccas quadviews did work but would crash just as often if not more. 4) I did not try the open xr layers in the API tool kit 5) In nvidia control panel 3d settings using sharping would not initially work but a reinstall to the latest driver did solve this Some notable lines from the crash file as follows 2025-09-03 03:16:47.037 INFO VISUALIZER (Main): [20:16:47.822][Info ] OpenXR: System Eye Gaze Interaction Properties: Name=Pimax Crystal Super VendorId=13476 is not supported! 2025-09-03 03:40:28.448 INFO VISUALIZER (Main): [20:40:29.232][Info ] OpenXR: XrEventDataSessionStateChanged: state XR_SESSION_STATE_FOCUSED->XR_SESSION_STATE_VISIBLE session=1 time=253321681100 2025-09-03 03:18:42.315 ERROR EDCORE (37296): Can't open file: /textures/!cracksmask.lua. 2025-09-03 03:18:42.315 ERROR EDTERRAINGRAPHICS41 (37296): Failed to open array "!cracksmask.lua" 2025-09-03 03:18:42.325 ERROR EDCORE (37296): Can't open file: /textures/!cracksmask.lua. 2025-09-03 03:18:42.325 ERROR EDTERRAINGRAPHICS41 (37296): Failed to open array "!cracksmask.lua" 2025-09-03 03:19:20.523 ERROR EDCORE (37296): Can't open file: /textures/!cracksmask.lua. 2025-09-03 03:35:00.280 ERROR NGMODEL (27652): Can't load lod ptb-800-mig21-collision.edm of model ptb-800-mig21.

Have you checked your dcs.log file for any errors? The DCS Discord channel has a feature that allows you to upload and analyze the dcs.log file for any errors and will give recommendations for fixing or optimizing your setup.

THANK you for that, this makes so much sense now!

Hi, I am new to DCS and have started running an f16 which I find to be great but im very unskilled. I have installed opentrack with a delanclip head set but although its very good I cannot seem to reduce the HUD size and it bleeds over the screen. It seems related to the forward/back movement and I have to lean right in to get anything like a decent capture of a target. Has anyone experienced this? Any guidance would be appreciated Thanks

Cheers. I guess since i only play pvp i have less trouble with tracks/replays not working, whereass pve does create issues. My guess is that ai still can pull off some stuff regular players can not hence there is discrepancies later in the track? There are few dedicated mp dogfightservers for mp only which could be used for testing. But it kinda appears the flightmodels sorta could be the root? Or PvE respectively.

You must uninstall and disable the maps in the module manager inside the game, (or launcher?). Just deleting them in Windows File Explorer will of course just download them again, because that's how the system is designed, and the system thinks you still want them to be installed. Cheers!

Yeah, I think the audio cue went off fine. But the SA6 launched on my wingman when he was 21.5nm away, and that missile impacted him when he was around 12.5nm away and still outside what I was seeing in-game as the threat circle on the SA. Not sure if that'd be a mission-specific issue or something with DCS itself, just thought I'd flag it. If the SA6 had targeted me instead I would have blown up somewhere where the voiceover was telling me I was still out of range. Tacview to make it easier to see Tacview-20250903-185232-DCS.zip.acmi

What do you mean? At the production time it was very competitive. Still flies for some air forces today but of course not comparable to 5th and next gen.

Yeah, kept his job, mishaps happens all the time! Blood pressure, indescribable? [emoji28] Pretty shure HP didn't exactly invoice until all was fixed. Nice of the backup guys to actually have done their jobs. [emoji1303] EDIT: This was like close to 25 years ago. Everyone learned something that's for sure. And I've never heard anything like it ever since! Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk

The ECM is modeled very primitively. In reality, it may not always interfere with the air defense system.Moreover, there are many interference guidance algorithms. The Tor M2 has an optical guidance channel, it doesn't care if you use the EСM or not.

The EF mods don't work on the latest version of DCS. I run 2 versions an old one for the EF and the latest for everything else. That's why I'm trying to find a player that is using V 1.0.7. Yes, the original Modders have stopped working on it...but there must be other EF fans with the mod. I need one of them to share their mod.

Thought so. But then you might want to change the header to have it a little more descriptive. [emoji6] Just click and edit it. Cheers! Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk
