being in china should not matter but who knows. are you able to ask your ISP? the speed of the download should not be affected by change in DNS. your computer would query DNS to get the appropriate IPs for the canonical name CDN... then DCS will use that DNS to connect to get the updates. you did this step correct? "reset you home network equipment" ISP may have a bad route too. this could cause slowness. but the DNS set to a root server makes your situation confusing.

At least it shows on F-16 rwr. I did get close enough for it to get tracing tone on rwr but that was just for testing

You should give your rough location so people will know if shipping is going to be an issue. And your picture is broken.

No where does he mention 23,000 feet for the 261 knot reference. "2,500ft all they way up through 15,000 ft" If you are willing to look past at least 8,000 feet pressure altitude discrepancy, then yes everything is ok. I tested at 23,000 with 50% fuel, full blower, 2700 rpm all cooling flaps closed, mixture rich, and maxed out at 243kias which translates to about 402mph true. Not bad, but not correct either. Those results were achieved with a dive from 24k to 23k, then waiting until the speed stops decaying. It's even worse with a level acceleration coming in at around 236kias. At sea level with a dive I can get about 289kias which is about 332mph true. With about 275kias achievable in level acceleration. Aside from the OPs hyperbolic post, no one is saying it's off by a huge amount. But it's missing 5-10% of top speed as a rough estimate.

Someone further up said the IRST range would be ~10km. I'm sure I've used the IRST in the FC3 version way further out than that? Personally I'd always fly a FF version if there's one available. I've just got mates who don't see the increased complexity (and paying again for a jet they can already fly) as necessarily a good thing

Just keep in mind that Virpil has long delivery times and that you should take the displayed delivery times with a huge grain of salt. If you get their CDT stick, I would suggest getting at least one Throttle Module with it. You can never have enough axes, IMO.

You can simulate this for yourself by not installing the Fulcrum until wing flex is added.

Maybe too big and no hit counter but I have a variety of uses for them. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3308197/

Well, I don’t think it would need “nerfing.” The range of the radar in FC3 is pretty much spot on. There are differences that will make it harder to use in FF though, just becuase it is realistically modeled. For example. Loco will no longer be instant but take 1-2 seconds at least. If you lock within max missile range, it will take the R-27R/ER 4 seconds to get ready before it can be fired(just like sparrow, but this process is done early in some situations). You will have less HUD symbology ( to focus on killing!). And radar/IRST won’t pick up each others lost locks unless coop is turned on which locks radar to MPRF. IRST won’t instantly range at all ranges, but the laser will be limited to 6.5 km requiring radar range beyond. So it will be a little harder to use, some things will take longer, but I expect it good users to still make a killing using its speed and altitude to throw the R-27R far and fast. If all you care about is competitiveness and beating someone, maybe not. But for me I expect to get a lot of joy from working the systems, and thus even more satisfaction from making kills. It will have an advantage in air to ground and gun modes though. AG it can calculate wind and movement for any weapon. And for gun mode, you have an alternate mode that allows you to lead a target up to 12 degrees. Whereas right now in FC3, the mode we have limits us to 6 degrees lead.

LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE!!!! Meanwhile, life continues.

How can I disagree? Since way back in 1998, with civil simulators, I've always flown in 2D. Then, in DCS, I started using the Trackir and I already saw a big difference, but there was still a "perceptual" limitation. But when I finally switched to VR last year, the leap was epochal: nothing compares in terms of immersion, immensely distant from the Trackir and light years from the 2D monitor. And now that I've also been able to get hold of the Reverb G2 with the Oasis drivers, my experience has improved enormously, both in performance and quality compared to the Quest2 I initially had.

Hello, I Did see that this was a bug that has been fixed in the past with the bombs releasing the whole store including the rail when in fuselage, single salvo modes. At first I thought I was pulling up to hard and tearing the rail off, but after watching carefully I get one bomb release and then the other 3 and rail follow and all non explode, even set to instant. I then noticed that the rockets on a run in would not fire on trigger presses after I pulled out of the dive and went level they then continued firing off with out trigger press, as if lagging or desync or G was effecting the firing. I had the same issue when looking up a A2A target with S530's, could not get it to fire after pressing and holding and releasing. After a short time two misses then fired together at the same time, after pressing a second time to get one to fire, both tracked the target and hit. Rockets HE Large frag seem to do less damage than Hydra 70 HE's, even though a larger Frag warhead? I have difficulty killing infantry units with it even though it ripples 6-8 at a time on target. I emptied both pods of HE large warhead over a ZSU and only did minimal damage this also seems off. Issues listed seem inconsistent sometimes the fuselage bombs work on the smaller bombs correctly etc.

If the FC3 version is overperforming in terms of sensors (and other things), are they going to nerf it to bring it into line? I've got one mate who loves to fly Red but he's like 'why would I bother getting the FF version when I've got the FC3 version' and if the FC3 version performs 'better' he's even less likely to swap..... I guess we might see server admins removing the FC3 version of course

The C-130J developers have said that this September update is not their focus. Nice!

@mbucchia I didn't see this reported anywhere else, so I'll write it here. Received this error again this morning trying to turn on VR for the first time after PC start: After doing some hardware troubleshooting and reinstalling the Oasis driver with no effect, I uninstalled (again) all Steam software using the Revo Uninstaller, then reinstalled Steam and Oasis. To my relief, SteamVR worked again and DCS started in VR with no issues.

Yes I was confusing the main modes for interaction sub mode at first. This quote you attach, is it for interaction on or off? The above passage stated when selecting R-27R in the interaction mode upon radar locking, page 71 " In this case. the SEl system displays the information of the RLPK complex in the target tracking mode, implemented by the NO19" And in the case that both systems fully track “2. If the KOLS station was the first to switch to the target tracking mode, but the RLPK complex accompanies the target not only by angular coordinates. but also by range and approach speed, the leading complex is the RLPK complex and the controlling on-board computer is the S-31 BCVM. The SEl system operates in the target tracking mode according to the RLPK complex data,” I wouldve thought if such a case did happen, it would show IFF as SEI show radar display. Same for the case described in many manuals where with interaction on, in TP strobe, if the lock button is pressed before the appearance of the laser range it will transition to full radar lock, and when laser range would appear it would transition to radar lock anyways. I would assume it would show radar lock in such a case as the manuals say it transitions to leading RLPK, but I guess it can’t be helped if not if this it’s the way things are and SUV in RL is required for IFF circuit even if HUD displays radar. Would love word from ED how they intend to model the system.

Exactly, I took off. Then 2,3 and 4. Once my flight was airborne they rejoined formation. Everything good so far. Whilst I was orbiting around the airfield, I saw the the others taxiing. But the first 109 of the rest didn't took off. So the others got stuck behind "No.5". So there was a queue of 8 109s on the ground. It looked to me Like a AI glitch. I was Not able to identify anything blocking the runway. Unforunately I forgot to take a Screenshot.

Thanks for the advice, YOYO. I bought a used Quest 3 512 GB on eBay (barely used) for €400. I'm expecting it in 2-3 days. As soon as it arrives, I'll get back to you to find out how to get it up and running.

Hi all, My bindings work as they should, except for when I move the Pitch selector from 'Alt Hold' to 'Off', which does nothing. If I move it from 'Alt Hold' to 'ATT Hold', it works, and if I then go from 'ATT Hold to 'Off' it works, but not from 'Alt Hold' to 'Off'. Any advice gratefully received! Spankle

Holy thread necro Batman seriously though why did they misspell night?

I also just finished this brilliant campaign, and took some screenshots. Hope you guy enjoy them. Whatch out, spoiler allert! How the storry began: In formation with the flight: A strafe from a B17 shot me a flat tyre and the brakes were damaged. So I was not able to taxi anymore... But hey, home allive is what counts! What must it have been like, seen this in real live in front of you: And what must have been your toughts, when you got a Flying Fortress down with your 30mm guns... Me and my new wingman on our way home. This greenhorn forgot to drop his tank: Morning over the Channel on our way to England.... This time with bombs instead of auxilary tanks.... Totally in love with Eva on my way to intercept the next Bomber Formation: But as known... you are not concentrated, when your thoughts are with the girl you are loving... The result was a strafe by a B17 doorgunner and my red 7 bleeded out. But it is still gliding. Bailed out over friendly territory. But hey... still alive.... Never ending storry... the invasion is ongoing... My loved airfiled... in flames: What must this have been for a feeling...? Landing on bombed airfield, knowing your mates are probably all dead... Then moveing to the next airfield in the morning: And again, and again and again... it is useless. Look at my red 7. The gear is bended, engine overcooked,... ... and a hole in the fuselage.... you could think this is the main entrance of the aircraft... By the way... this was made by AAA when I strafed taxiing Spitfires... But I made it home alive on a friendy airfield... The next Bomber interception, the next airfiled is on fire.... Eva is dead, my Mother is dead, all my loved ones are gone... I am done with this war... On the left hand side you see me leaving my red 7... Trying to find a bottle of booze in a hangar that's not on fire... The END. Thank you Reflected. What an amazing history lesson!!! Chapeau! Best Regards, Dennis.

The last update fixed this for me - not sure what the issue was but it's sorted now. Spankle

Maybe give it a good few hours of actual in-game use and see if you stop registering/noticing it. It's pretty much the same thing we went through with the old screen-door effect, easy to see if looked for but after a while it stops registering.
