All Activity

thank you for confirming

The virtual 1./JG71 "Richthofen" in action again:

Haha ive been close to shooting her down with frustration. Do you set the hotas axis up at all to calm movement down? I wantbthe jet to be snappy and reactive but tjats not what ypu want whem refueling

Hornet has really nice SP mode. It also has SLAM(-ER)s, JSOW AGM-154C, Harpoons, better radar and no AoA limiter. I like both. Both are great planes.

Practice makes perfect :). Here you have it while turning and at night. That's a challenge

Century old locomotives that are basically a labour of love and rely on armies of volunteers and donations to be kept running for the most part. There is very good reason that those locomotives are now all on heritage railways or running the occasional enthusiast mainline day trip and not in day to day use. What Aapje describes is pretty much spot on. Software often can and does eventually become uneconomic to maintain and/or unsupportable through a multitude of reasons. Sometimes sustainability is throwing something in the bin after you've come with a more efficient replacement.

Thanks. It's nice to read about the pros and cons. As for VR, I'm actually flying in VR only too (from few years, I hate 2D now ), so it's a matter of taste. I remember that your cockpit seems to be designed that you can see the keyboard from a distance, so this can sometimes be a problem in campaigns (sometimes you have to operate the radio yourself, by pressing the spacebar, or something else). It's a matter of personal preference. Thank you for your feedback, and congratulations on completing the campaign!

Die 1./JG71 meldet sich zurück aus der Sommerpause. Das TCTP machte es erforderlich, dass wir mal wieder in die niederen Luftraumschichten hinabsteigen mussten, um AGM-65B employment zu üben. Es ging als 2-Ship auf der SB103 Departure IFR aus Büchel raus, direct WRB, wo wir IFR gecancelt haben, von dort zum IP nördlich vom Lemgo, um von dort aus in die ED-R 18 bei Gütersloh einzufliegen. Dort haben wir in zwei Runden je zwei Mavericks verschossen und sind dann für den Rejoin zurück nach WRB geflogen, wo wir dann unseren IFR Pickup gemacht haben, um schließlich noch in Büchel zwei PARs zu fliegen. The Thunder Rolls. HG10A and B Airborne At the Range Die 1./JG71 ist auch weiterhin offen für Piloten, die Interesse und Spaß an möglichst realistischem Flugbetrieb in einer im Kalten Krieg angesiedelten virtuellen Staffel haben. Wenn Du bei uns mitfliegen möchtest, kontaktiere uns gerne per PN und komme mit uns ins Gespräch. Alle wesentlichen Informationen zu uns findest Du im ersten Beitrag dieses Threads.

Haha funny, I use 7 seconds. No message ever seen.

Yeah I've been using that for quite a while too Not really, but it requires practice. When I learned to do it many many moons ago, I might have "accidentally" (*cough*) discharged some 20-mike-mike into the odd tanker here and there out of sheer frustration. Keep going, and practice

When we have century+ old locomotives on the tracks, I fail to see the merit of your defense for the software industry If anything, it shows how little initiative there is to upkeep the most sustainable industry humanity ever came up with

Fortunately, DCS 2.9.18.12899 already reverted the breaking change. Everything is back to normal and WebConsole.lua will work out of the box. Only the *a_do_script return value pass-thru still requires above workaround.

Off topic but I operated an air transport aircraft not that long ago that used an EFB with Windows XP.

Good idea does heavy metal work lol.

You'd be surprised... Home users probably moved on but I suggest you step into your local government building and look over the shoulder of the people working at their work PCs. Many companies also still use Windows XP even to this day.

I think you will find if the remaining RB modules do not work in the future the **** will hit the fan big time.

Release at max range OK now. Thanks

All good advice here. When I was learning it helped to listen to music or a podcast. It occupied the part of my peanut-sized brain that was making me overshoot and allowed instinct to take over.

In this case, it's not, what I've already written about. "T" (as example below) is displayed in the mode I described and which turned out to be the solution. But of course, you can still interpret it in it's own way, I have nothing against it. Furthermore, no one in their right mind would fire a laser beyond the maximum range of a weapon. So it was logical that the person would be within the weapon's firing range. Otherwise, you wouldn't even be able to use the weapon. Of course, we have something called oblique range, but that usually means that you're 99% sure you're already close enough for the system to allow you to drop the guided weapon. Therefore, we can talk about the altitude above the target (AGL), especially if we're dropping in auto-laser mode with a specific timer rather than manually illuminating the target. Usually these 8-12 seconds mean that we are right on or near the target, so operating AGL is not a mistake here.

Tbh this not happens with F-15E, Viper, M2000, MiG-29S but happens with some other planes like MiG-15, MiG-21, MiG- 29A, so this could be not because device issue.

They do feel better than most, I have to agree. I've been loving them lately.

Not true, in software development there are a whole lot of reasons for software to have a shelf life, including: The environment changing and code needing to be adapted or rewritten to just remain working in the new environment. For example, to keep working on a new version of Windows. Increasing or changing expectations. For example, visual quality that was acceptable in 2000 often isn't considered acceptable anymore. But also things like FFB becoming popular again and players expecting support. Or things like DLSS and related technologies. The software being built on obsolete libraries or with obsolete technology. Then it may become impossible to find developers who can work on the code and you will import the software rot of these libraries. People leaving who understand the code, and people making increasingly uninformed changes to the code (putting hacks on hacks), due to a lack of understanding, until the code becomes a bowl of spaghetti. Decisions having been made in the past that no longer fit the new requirements/environment/etc, but so much having become dependent on these changes, that attempts to change it are like pulling bricks from a Jenga-tower. With every additional change, the tower becomes less stable. And the cost of making changes can become enormous, for example, when you would have to alter every mission already made, to accommodate a change you want to make to the code. Vestigial code that just gets in the way and can cause bugs. These things often intermingle and compound on each other. One of the main parts of the job of software developers is to try to minimize these issues, but also making the hard choice between continuing on an ever more difficult struggle with ever more deteriorating code, versus making a partial or full clean start.

Thank you for this great campaign overhaul! Loving all those changes. I got some radio feedback for mission 1 and will continue to collect bugs from future missions. If you want me to create a separate thread, just shoot me a message. 1) The actual radio presets of the ARC-210 don't match the documentation. See screenshot: Nellis Departure is missing and all the presets from ATIS to Approach are offset by one channel. Looks like either 251 or 262 MHz were added accidentally to the preset list. 2) When contacting Departure for the first time, Biff's message immediatly cuts out after ~1s and the answer from Departure can't be heard and also wont come up in the message history: 3) The following messages are either completely missing audio / just static or the volume is very low with lots of static: And final image: Let me know if you need more info.

DCS warbirds are great IMHO, it has been the only sim that has given me some feel or realism, FFB with extension also helped, but one problem with DCS is that we always fly in calm air, there is no bumpy air or turbulence, low alt wind you can feel it but its like laminar wind, not bumpy at all. When I fly my warbird IRL and I have calm winds, it reminds me of how warbirds feel in DCS.
