Yes, progress has been made when DCS was reworked for multi-core CPUs. About 10 years after multithreading became standard, Hallelujah. If more than half of the team is focused on the DCS core, it has probably been asleep for most of that time and continues to be. ........Development is happening so fast that DCS is better today than it will be tomorrow. The day after tomorrow. Yesterday...?

Hi, we are discussing JDAM pre-planned self-guidance improvements internally, but I do not have any news to share currently. thank you

I quite like the earlier bluish version...Im going to hold onto those too

Hey. I'm glad you liked it. Regarding the code, it's actually the last video on my YouTube series that I've been procrastinating to record for months now. If you build it using the sketch (you can build it with shift registers instead of port expanders, and in that case you can use MMjoy2 instead of an arduino sketch), you'll have to make some adjustments to it. The 99 is because when I wrote it, I wasn't using all the pins of the expanders, therefore I used 99 for the unused ones.

Indeed. I just added a slightly better picture

Big thumbs up and thanks for your info and effort. I just finished my build using your instructions. I may be too stupid with the electronics because I was struggling with the shift registers and matrixes, so I finally got the MCP 23017 as one of the options you recommended. Works fine now. I am usion one Arduino pro micro, 4 x MCP23017, and your sketch. (There is a slight error in the code with the buttons; 99 as a designation is not working with maximum of 86 buttons.) I am a "FUNCTION BEFORE STYLE" guy. So while printing, I ran out of filament multiple times. using two old IPADs with spacedesk, a custom Helios profile, an old 7-inch USB monitor, and one Thrustmaster MFD. It works with my setup, and I am happy; even switching between pilot and CPG works with the displays. TEDAC display is always on Cheers LGB

This is what I wrote about.

The Zero is a big deal. It was one of the most feared planes of WWII and a game-changer in the Pacific, especially early on. We’ve been asking for it forever, and when it finally shows up, we get… a throwaway line? Come on. This thing deserves a proper Hell yeah moment, not a footnote. -I'm just saying the announcement on this is pretty underwhelming, that's all. But I'm still happy!!!

Minor issue. Small metal link missing or not done yet maybe?

Wolf> Thanks for the link. I'm going to a scan next Wed at a DOF3 at Simreality. One of my key points being to understand how I'd integrate it with my current Alu profile base and whether it would fit into what is not a massive space. Looking forward to that.

Я бы даже модуль "DCS Реалистичная Вода" прикупил бы

The last news talking about ED has centred on damage model of WW2 aircrafts.

It's 2025, it's high time for ED to focus on damage models!

So do I have to "put the thing on the thing" to steer correctly or how has the comand to be understood?

I have recently got back into flying the Ka50(BS2) online MP server and have noticed that the nav light intensity is weak in daylight compared to other aircraft. I've tested this at night with a parked aircraft and noticed that the increase in intensity of the nav lights (10,30,100) only shows up as lighting the ground beneath or the fuselage of the helicopter. The actual intensity of the bulbs does not increase at all. 10% is the same as 100% when zoomed out from the aircraft externally. Any chance this can be looked into? It's been a while, so I don't know if the BS2 is supported.

Great job. Someone already wrote this, the most anticipated mod for me. I have one question. Am I blind or am I missing something?

I would advise running at 72Hz rather than capping the frame rate in DCS. 90Hz is probably means that you are maxing out your system.

Could anybody please elaborate on the gain control for the F-1's radar? It seems that it has no effect on the display. But maybe I am using it wrong...

Folks please don't derail the thread with subscription chatter, we have said many times in the past its not something that will work for DCS, and we have no plans for it. Topic here is Pacific Operations Assets Pack | Mission Save Development Progress | New Free Trials thank you

Sorry es ging um die NavPoints welche ehemals für die A-10C gedacht waren. Nicht die Wegpunktaktion der einzelnen Module oder KI-Maschinen. Das ist mit bewusst dass diese bei allen DCS Modulen funzen Die NavPoints setzen ja aber ein System wie ne CDU voraus, hätte aber zum jetzigen Stand der CH-47 eher nicht damit gerechnet dass diese schon nutzbar sind.

ED has only talked about the WW2 version, nothing else at this time.

It's been said repeatedly that a subscription system (and benefits) doesn't work in DCS World... for many subscribers, priorities aren't going to change, and their main business model is selling modules, not charity. Huge amounts of money are already being spent (which a subscription system doesn't compensate for unless you're an MMO), and this would force you to sell "expansions" at AAA prices to cover costs... Also, I love that assumption, "just sign up for a subscription and the problems will be fixed."...let's not dream of castles in the air. Turning the wheels isn't going to change things that have been happening for 30 years, much less "forcing" directions in the management of product lines because you want to step on the gas... Building functionality into the core isn't just about having a monkey hack code. Either you have competent staff (which is very expensive), or nothing gets done here. Let's also remember that much of the "competition" hasn't even come close to what we have today in the combat department. If someone wants to put money into making a module, they can: - Form a third party and do it themselves. - Try another KS... we know how the previous one ended.

I believe the MiG-29 will drop first. Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk

I'm asking if we can get later configurations as well. The class (especially New Jersey) served off and on until 1992

Wow i didn't know there was such a thing
