Is anyone planning on a C-130J cockpit? I assume (rightly or wrongly) the DCS version compared to others with its military use in game (sooner or later - thinking dynamic campaign) and in my opinion a more accurate sim than any others despite their huge backing, a lot of people will move over from Civ sims where you can see in the Home Cockpits full 747/A-300 types are built. I cannot wait to see the community here grow and some of the outstanding advancements of big desktops! Thoughts?

OK, I'll give it a try

I'm really liking the new George Interface options. My issue is with the new realistic IFF that came with this update. Last night I flew over a veritable parking lot of enemy tanks. At first he determined a few were bad guys. Then he could never tell about the rest of them even after flying over the area from multiple directions at low altitudes and slow speeds, to include hovering probably 200 yards away. Note that the Early Access Guide page 593 says "When the Target List is displayed, the player may select specific Target List entries to direct George to focus the TADS at that contact. During this time, George will continue to perform Combat Identification and update the Target List accordingly as he works through each step of the identification process, which may be further enhanced by directing George to increase the TADS sensor magnification or change the TADS sensor to DTV (during daylight hours) while focused on a given contact." I did try that too. Could somebody offer some suggestions on things I could try? Perhaps their is a process I have missed? Thanks.

A agree to this. I'm also curious why other jets don't have the same command for wingmen as the A10. In the A10 you can order your wingpeople to use specific weapons. And i think attack direction etc. This as been in the A10 for years. And why it hasn't been brought over to other typical CAS aircraft like 16 and 18, I don't understand

Yes, we use the CTLD menu to load crates from FARPs or logistics tents.

More callouts for missiles like that would be great. Would they have called it "pitbull" in the Tomcat or would Jester have been more likely to say "First ones active...Second missile went active...Thirds active...Fourth, they're all active now."

I think you misunderstood me… I’m talking about the spinning mirrors for the HMD system

You start up the engines to run all your checks. When all that is done, you shut down the engines again so as not to sit and burn fuel in the parking area. All your instruments will stay powered on by the external power.

The DAP versions DO have a swing down reticle. It's attached up in the greenhouse area where the hand hold is. I wish I had pictures of it still but the computer they were on; about 30 pics of a DAP while I was in Iraq; but that laptop was stolen I did Google it and attached a couple of photos that show the flip down reticle.

I have the same issue. Specifically for the gun effect. Did you solve the issue?

My bad, guys — I totally forgot to mention that information! I am using those units, and I'm also within the correct distance, but I keep getting the message: "Ground crew: no can do, we don't have this in stock." I'm attaching a screenshot, the .miz file, and another screenshot showing the final result.null FOB SPAWN TEST.miz

I noticed similar problem but in later missions. That's very weird even with RTX 5090 and 9800X3D I cannot reach these 75 FPS on some missions at the end of the campaign. I remember when I was creating a mission myself and with even nearly empty map some combination caused the FPS to drop significantly so that's rather a DCS bug.

This update is a Very Nice Surprise thankyou for all the creative work. Winter textures will be like having a new Map to play with. " Harsh cold winter " textures create a great atmosphere for the Map. Another exciting thing is i can now create some nice winter textures for my Normandy and London Trains and of course the Krupp K5 Leopold. Great Work Thankyou !

OK. I have the PSVR2 now. My first impressions are that it is not very well made compared to the Quest Pro, Rift S and Pico 4. It feels quite cheap and flimsy. That is not a deal breaker so far. It is actually quite comfortable to wear and has some intuitive adjustments. And it is lightweight. In terms of performance I cannot yet comment. I have spent about an hour and a half trying to get DCS to run in VR. Steam VR is running but it DCS just opens in flat screen mode. I have removed the Meta app. I will post some log files tomorrow. I have had enough for tonight. Time now for brandy!

I don't know why he keeps posting that "data", it's info from some other game that's rather obviously inaccurate in several places. It's not historical data and it doesn't actually bring anything useful into discussion. I hope we get both B and C. The differences between variants weren't quite as big on the Zero as they were on other aircraft.

You're free to DM a community manager here to confirm. Razbam did have access to many difficult to get things, regardless of 'looks'. Still their module turned out to be phenomenal on later years.

Perhaps the INS drift is being modeled for the SPI cursor in the HUD/HMCS display, but is not being modeled for the TGP? That doesn't really jive with my experience, but it seems possible based on what yall are describing?

Picture this. I'm hovering all sneaky at 20-30 feet. I switch from the the backseat over to the CPG seat in the Kola map (seen this in Germany as well) and we instantly bob up to 100 feet. Attaching a track file and a video file. Video at altitude bug.trk

I'm trying to use Reshade with Quest 3 and virtual desktop. How can I bring the Reshade overlay up in VR? Trying to figure out why every map has a thick, circular haze ring when I have Haze set to Zero in Reshade.

The lower starboard wing insignia, here below is wrong.

fixing now, if this is correct

Sorry I've been away for a few days....sounds like you have found the problem. I did confirm the above and I also tried wasing to rockets on the landing pad upon startup, rather than after firing the hellfires in battle, and I crashed 3 minutes into the mission. I also played a couple other missions in the campaign with no problems at all but I haven't checked yet to see what type of rockets they were... I will do that. Thanks for all the perseverance!! You guys are great!!

I took this in Medellin Colombia in 2021. I was there the same time some jets from Shaw were there.

Just one of the C-130 people sitting here and waiting for any smidge of a hint of a whiff of news.
