Don't drink and drive, take Vodka and fly !

I would really be comfortable with MiG-29 SMT or MiG-35. But I guess not everyone gets what they want.

I just tried both for free, I love both, I had an A10CII for ground attack and I think it's better (although slow) for those kind of missions than the F18, so I'll wait for the next sale to get first the F16 for AA and some SEAD and then the F18 to complete my collection along with the supercarrier module.

So, basically the Points are just like some kind of template to choose which waypoints will be needed and therefore defined into waypoints and aerodromes (3+3) ? The rest that are not selected as Waypoints and Aerodromes do not exist once loaded into aircraft? Did I get it right?

How many DCS missions are flown "now", i.e. at this time and date? How would this work for say a historical date for a mission? Maybe a "random" weather that fits within the typical weather for that season/area of the world might be useful.

JaboG35 Bericht der Woche 15.09.2025 - Integration neuer Verfahren und ziviler Luftverkehr Mit der kürzlichen Erweiterung unserer standard Luft-Boden Angriffsverfahren um einige weitere Angriffsprofile, haben wir uns einiges vorgenommen und auch prompt implementiert. Die neuen Verfahren wurden in den letzten 5 Sorties nicht nur erprobt sondern auch gleich intensiv in den Flugbetrieb des JaboG35 integriert. Dies hatte zur Folge dass wir pro Pilot bereits mehr als 10 Anflüge in das erste der 3 neuen Angriffsprofilen geflogen haben und auch weiterhin unser TCTP anpassen und um weitere solcher Verbesserungen ergänzen werden. Auch das Luft-Luft Betanken haben wir wieder geübt. So kam es dass wir insgesamt drei mal den Tanker im JOJO Tanker Track besucht haben und pro Flugzeug 8 000 Pfund Sprit Offload verbuchen konnten. Eine große Änderung der Rahmenbedingungen in unserem Trainingsenvironment stellt der neu eingeführte zivile Flugverkehr dar. Mittels Civil Aircraft Mod und der Moose Klasse RAT (Random Air Traffic) haben wir so richtig Leben in die Umgebung gebracht. Ziviler Flugverkehr kommt jetzt in vorwiegend höheren Luftschichten von ausserhalb der Map und von Flughäfen in der BRD und fliegt weitere Flughäfen in und ausserhalb der CW Germany Karte an. VFR Conditions haben damit eine neue, realistischere Bedeutung bekommen! Hier wieder ein paar Bilder zur Veranschaulichung der Ereignisse der letzten Woche... Eine 727 der Lufthansa beim Abflug aus Hamburg Eine PANAM 747 beim Abflug aus Frankfurt, dem Flughafen an dem der Großteil des von uns eingerichteten Flugverkehr ankommt oder abhebt... Auch die Homebase kommt in den Genuss gelegentlicher KI Flüge, die den Fliegerhorst verlassen Die CG10 Formation beim Lineup auf der 09 Piste Enroute in die EDR18 mit der Übungsbombe BDU-33 Der Ingress über den IP für das neue Split Hi/Lo Verfahren erfolgt in der Line Abreast Formation Ein paar Aufnahmen aus den Patterns um die Range, die Letzte aus einer Höhe von ca 250Fuß Unsere #3 hat dann das Intercept zum Tanker Texaco 2 angeleitet Ein weiteres Sortie aus der EDR18, hier wieder der mittlerweile gewohnte Blick nach Links auf das zweite Element im Line Abreast Ingress Die gleiche Runde wieder, dieses mal kurz nach dem VIP aufgenommen Die Bravo Maschine beim Betanken, wieder 8 000 Pfund Split vom Tanker und BDA; beide Maschinen waren OK Enroute to Home Base Selfies gab's schon lange vor dem Smartphone Und ein paar Bilder von der Recovery Wenn auch DU Lust und Interesse hast mit uns in einem realistischen Umfeld mit ATC und CRC Support, sowie befreundeten Staffeln spannende und authentische Verfahren erlernen und anwenden möchtest, dann melde dich bitte bei uns auf dem Discord Server oder bei mir via Privatnachricht. Wir suchen sowohl Piloten und auch WSOs und freuen uns auf deine Nachricht! Danke für's Lesen und bis bald, Rohrkrepierer o7

I've done quite a bit of practice with Shrikes. Looking at the mission again, my feeling is that the attack profile itself isn't that likely to get hits. The Shrike really needs to come in at a steep angle to have the best chance of hitting. A popup attack like in this scenario really needs to get pretty high to get a reasonable angle. I also agree that the Shrike is a fairly limited weapon! And that one real benefit of this campaign is that we can take a training lesson and progress.

This one please. With those weapons.

So it sounds like It's how I thought and similar to how it is with the Viggen cartridges. You just can have a bunch that you pre program that you can then select between, and you don't have to constantly make new ones each time if you want the same set of waypoints. Except since the MiG-29 doesn't actually have cartidges. It's more like handing a playbook set of waypoint instructions that you give to the ground crew so you can go -"program waypoint set Sierra into the jet please"

Update Vietnam War Vessels 2.0.3 is live now at https://github.com/tspindler-cms/tetet-vwv/releases and https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1GdxkovvZjwYgr0AEmq2yxquaOAdzUkYd?usp=sharing on Google Drive. This is an update for CVA-31 Bon Homme Richard and the generic Essex class carriers with SCB125 upgrade. Testing discovered that the Bon Homme Richard does no longer work when used without other Vietnam War Vessels mods. A definition in a table was missing, and the new config rectifies this. For installation, you need Vietnam War Vessels 2.0.0, update to 2.0.1, update to 2.0.2 and then apply this update.

I haven't checked your trackfile, but I suspect you have your radiator flaps fully open (hot starts begin with them in this position), so as you fly your engine quickly cools below minimum operating temperature, gets damaged and seizes. This ties in with you saying the flight was in freezing conditions. The Anton is extremely difficult to overheat, so suggest you fully close the radiator flaps (detailed in part 7 of Chucks guide here: https://chucksguides.com/aircraft/dcs/fw190-a8/ ). I only ever open them on hot maps, and then only by one turn of the handle. Hope this helps and hope you're enjoying the Anton - it's my favourite DCS warbird

In the F-4E, the position of the elevation strobe indicates the antenna elevation angle. In RDR 2-bar mode, the strobe will jump at the end of each azimuth scan. As shown in the attached track, in the game, this jump only occurs in STAB OUT. Regardless of whether the strobe jumps or not, the actual scan takes account of the RDR 2-bar setting, i.e. the jump can be observed on the radar screen. It's just that the elevation strobe remains stationary except in STAB OUT. elevation_strobe.trk

Вопрос разработчикам. Какая аппратура навигации будет в модуле? ЦВУ, ЦВУ-М(2204) или ЦВУ-М(2205)?

you use the same login on both dcs, it is not version dependant, just you cant run both dcs versions at the same time.

My another two cents that I learned another thread: to disable power management is to enable all devices/processes to run in the full speed. By comparing with power mgmt and without power mgmt (require watching the CPU temperature) while running DCS, it can determine the potential tunings in Windows. Of course, without power mgmt, there is no core parking for example.

Nice try. But I bet it won't be made. Since this is a certain model and not a prototype plane we got from Heatblur. Same with Eagle Dynamics Modules. A certain model at a certain point in time. No prototype. But it's ok. The B(U) will be fine I really hoped it would rather be sooner than later.

this is the solution. Thank you!

Check Github Repo here sNaticY/dcs-helicopter-assist: Helicopter assist for DCS, including auto rudder, balance assistant, hover assistant Video tutorial and show case coming soon! DCS Helicopter Assist Lightweight helicopter assist for DCS. It reads live flight telemetry from DCS via Export.lua (UDP), applies stabilization and assist logic, and writes control outputs to a vJoy virtual joystick (X/Y for cyclic, RZ for rudder). This document covers: Prerequisites Get DCS helicopter assist (GitHub Releases or run from source) vJoy setup DCS Export.lua setup How to run and use (hotkeys, modes) How to modify config (config.json) 1) Prerequisites Windows 10/11 DCS World (stable or open beta) vJoy driver installed and at least one device enabled Download: http://vjoystick.sourceforge.net/site/ If you run from source (instead of the EXE): Python 3.9+ (64-bit recommended) Python packages: numpy, pyvjoy, keyboard Install packages: py -m pip install numpy pyvjoy keyboard Note: pyvjoy may need Administrator privileges to access the vJoy driver. 2) Get DCS Helicopter Assist Option A — Download prebuilt (recommended): Go to the GitHub Releases page: https://github.com/sNaticY/dcs-helicopter-assist/releases Download the latest DCSHelicopterAssist.zip for Windows. Extract it to a folder you trust (e.g., C:\Games\DCSHelicotperAssist). Ensure config.json is in the same folder as the EXE so you can edit it. Continue to vJoy setup and DCS Export.lua setup below. Tips: First run may trigger SmartScreen; choose “More info” → “Run anyway”. If vJoy output doesn’t move, try running the EXE “As Administrator”. Option B — Run from source (Python): Clone or download this repository into a folder (e.g., C:\Games\DCSHelicotperAssist). Install Python requirements: py -m pip install numpy pyvjoy keyboard Continue to vJoy setup and DCS Export.lua setup below. Run: py helicopter_assist.py 3) vJoy setup Open “vJoyConf” (vJoy Configuration) and configure a device: Enable Device ID: choose one ID (default in config.json is 3) Axes: enable X, Y, Rx (others optional/unused) Buttons: not required POV: none required Apply/Save In DCS Controls, bind the vJoy device axes: Helicopter Pitch → vJoy Axis Y Helicopter Roll → vJoy Axis X Helicopter Rudder → vJoy Axis RX Recommendations: Unbind your physical joystick axes directly from DCS to avoid double control. The app reads your physical joystick and outputs to vJoy; DCS should only read vJoy. Optional: Bind your physical joystick axes with modifiers TOGGLE_PAUSE_HOTKEY so you can temporarily by pass the assist and control directly with physical joystick Do not invert axes in DCS. The app already writes Y as inverted when sending to vJoy. You can change the vJoy device ID in config.json (see section 7). 4) DCS Export.lua setup This project includes Export/Export.lua which sends telemetry to the app via UDP. Locate your DCS Saved Games Scripts folder: Stable: %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts Open Beta: %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts Backup your existing Export.lua if present. Copy project file: From: c:\Games\HelicopterAssist\Export\Export.lua To: %SavedGames%\DCS...\Scripts\Export.lua Export.lua sends JSON lines at 50 Hz to 127.0.0.1:28777 by default. If you run the app on another machine, change the target in Export.lua and config.json, and allow UDP in the firewall. What is exported: Linear velocity (Vx,Vy,Vz) in world coordinates (m/s) Linear acceleration (Ax,Ay,Az) in world coordinates (m/s²) Pitch, Roll, Yaw (rad) PitchRate, RollRate, YawRate (rad/s) World position (PosX, PosY, PosZ) in meters (x=East, y=Up, z=North) The Python side parses these in dcs_telemetry.DcsTelemetry. 5) Running and usage Running the EXE: Double-click the HelicopterAssist.exe (place config.json next to it). Start a DCS mission; Export.lua begins sending telemetry automatically. Running from source: py helicopter_assist.py If vJoy doesn’t move: Confirm vJoy device ID matches config.json Confirm Export.lua is in Saved Games\DCS...\Scripts and a mission is running Try running as Administrator Hotkeys (defaults; configurable in config.json): Toggle Rudder Assist: F8 Toggle Cyclic Assist Mode: F9 Each press cycles: OFF → ON → HOVERING → OFF … OFF: vJoy outputs pass through your manual inputs (after smoothing/curves) ON: assist blends with your inputs; stabilization helps rate/attitude HOVERING: adds stronger hold to help steady hover Pause (hold): Left Ctrl While held, outputs are blocked On release, assist modules reset to avoid bumps Sounds: On: short high beep Hover: double mid beep Off: short low beep Manual input: Your joystick inputs are smoothed and shaped (expo) before assist and vJoy output. Enjoy flying! HelicopterAssist.zip

Hi ED, There is an issue with one of your 3rd party. As you may know, Polychop's Dev team have all quit the company leaving only the CEO. For some time now the CEO is not even answering on his discord and there is more and more unresolved bugs on the SA342 Gazelle and some on the OH58D Kiowa. The bugs vary from missing textures (on dipole antenna), wrong axis, keybindings issues, multicrew desynch and bugs, kneebord mixed up and more. Those bugs were reported from month or years, but nothing is done... For example here is some non revolved bugs : Reported on July 2 2023 : --https://forum.dcs.world/topic/329727-tm-warthog-throttle-mouse-axis-problem-on-tv/ Reported on June 8, 2023 : --https://forum.dcs.world/topic/327589-pedal-trim-not-working-propertly/ Reported on July 20, 2024 : --https://forum.dcs.world/topic/354334-multicrew-issue-pilot-and-copilot-affects-night-vision-google-employment/#comment-5672503 Reported on July 20, 2024 :--https://forum.dcs.world/topic/354333-multicrew-issue-with-nadir-even-when-copilot-leaving-the-gazelle-and-rejoin-entering-and-editing-waypoints-not-working/ Reported on september 14, 2024 : --https://forum.dcs.world/topic/357716-the-windscreen-wipers-do-not-wipe-when-you-press-the-pilot-wiper-button-on-the-stick/ Reported on september 14, 2024 : --https://forum.dcs.world/topic/357715-floating-metal-clip/ Reported on april 2, 2025 : --https://forum.dcs.world/topic/371479-i-love-the-gazelle-but-continuing-to-be-patient-for-a-joystick-slew-fix-for-the-minigun-variant-unable-to-point-minigun-to-the-front-of-aircraft-also-unable-to-point-fully-up-and-down/#comment-5654828Reported on June 27, 2025 : --https://forum.dcs.world/topic/375569-pilot-position-windshield-wiper-clickable-cockpit-switch-issue-as-of-291711733/ Reported on August 5, 2025 : --https://forum.dcs.world/topic/377214-multi-player-seat-switch-issue/ Of course there is more bugs than those mentionned here, it's just to show that some bugs are here since years ago. Now, what can ED do ? Well 3rd party have to maintain their products (which is not the case for Polychop Simulation). I expect mesures to be taken by ED toward Polychop to remedy this bad situation If this is not enough, maybe the Gazelle IP could end up in someone else hands, someone who will actually take care about this module, either ED or an other 3rd party. Thank you, Peet

Sure, we can create a thread for the Jester's callout wishlist collection
