Thank you

Last I heard it's not really like the German armed forces were overly happy with it either. Showing off might just be smiling for the pain.

In general, when someone says trim the plane, it means that you have to trim it in such a way, that there are no forces on the stick, basically the aircraft remains in a fixed attitude at a specified speed. When someone says trim on speed, it means you have to trim it in such a way, that your aircraft maintains the perfect AoA for landing, indicated by the yellow circle. And as it is the AoA for landing, you should be in a landing configuration. But if you do it in level flight or on the standard 3 degree glide is up to you. You just have to trim it in such a way that the aircraft maintains the on speed AoA. The trim is mostly the same, regardless if you are in a descent, level flight or climb as long as you maintain the speed. Trim changes with speed, so once you are on speed, you shouldn't have to touch trim anymore until touchdown if trimmed perfectly. Trim is one of the very basics of aircraft. You can easily find hundreds of thousands of ressources online about what trim is. Here's an example: https://pilotinstitute.com/aircraft-trim-explained/

What capabilities should we expect from the F-104?
Bremspropeller replied to Hatman335's topic in DCS: F-104
A handful (seven) of test launches were performed at Lechfeld. The project was killed, not least becauseof the re-arrangement of NATO towards flexible response. The only thing to come out of it was the retrofit to the Martin Baker seat for the entire fleet, starting in '69. -

All exports, no matter the screen rypw you use, have the dimming issue. There are threads about it in the multiscreen forum.

I'm puzzled about this thing for CH-47F: Added. Ground detent position for the Thrust Cont Lever. And I'm not alone, obviously (the comment is from after the update): I know what it does when it's checked in Special Options (appearing as ugly GROUND_DETENT). I investigated, why my Ng "needles" settle ~63 instead of 50-55. Only when I press AND HOLD a keybind for "Ground Detent override - pressing" it goes down to normal values. So my laymen observation is, that it disables/offsets the lower range of the thrust lever, but I have no idea how it should work because the manual doesn't say anything about it (at least not when I search in text). If there is a ground detent, is it so coarse that I can't just pull the lever gently above it? Does it always jump to ~63 on Ng indicator? Also, if it is a detent, shouldn't there be more than just a single hold-n-press binding for it?

Frankfurt ILS runway 07L-25R issues
grim_reaper68 replied to grim_reaper68's topic in Bugs and Problems
Hi thanks for the debug. If you take a look here https://www.mil-airfields.de/approach-charts/de-germany/frankfurt-rhein-main-air-base.html you could see that the frequencies in the late 60's are : 07L 110.10 "RHM" , 25L 110.70 "FFM", 25R 109.50 "DLF", and at least 07R 110.70 "FFM" too but with no Glideslope. But we can eventually use the modern frequencies 110.95 "IFSE" to have a complete working ILS. I will test your modification on both side to be sure that everything works, but with the Cold War frequencies i've found. I will soon make a proper working beacons.lua file and share it in the user files so there will be more runways usable. And make some kneeboard pages and printable one, so the pilots could use the runway they want depending on the wind direction. Hamburg is a little bit special as there are no parallel runways, and the ATC only use the "official" runway. -
Hi, As I am trying to learn how to land the plane I keep hearing fly it on speed (yellow circle) and trim. My question is what do you mean trim? Trim for what? So that the plane flies level when on the yellow circle no matter what or for some specific descent rate or what? What I need to target with the trim? Confused with this as everyone keep throwing this word trim but never specify desired effect to be chased with it.

Update please.

Thank you all! Issue resolved

Main menu mouse "stutter" when ecores disabled
miguelaco replied to samtheeagle's topic in General Bugs
I have the same issue in the menu and I'm not disabling e-cores at all. I'm trying to pinpoint the cause and noticed that disabling Hyperthreading kind of fixes the issue in the main menu. Sadly, it seems that fps are less stable once in the cockpit, so it is a dead end for me. I keep reading that lowering the polling rate of the mouse seems to help, but I don't know how to do that in my Logitech MX Master 3. I have to say it is really annoying, even if it seems fine once in-sim. -
OH-6A by Tobsen and Eightball
Raffi75 replied to tobi's topic in Flyable/Drivable Mods for DCS World
Check your internet settings; you might have a limit set. I downloaded OH-6 and the rest two days ago without any problems. - Today

@FAB999 Благодарю за ответ! Добавил в свои заметки, теперь получится наконец-то это все запомнить. Скажите, а откуда Вам все это известно? я просто пару часов провел пытаясь загуглить все это, ничего кроме бесполезного по этой конкретной теме мануала на МиГ-21ум (МиГ-21УС) не нашел. Любопытно РС оказалось было не понятно

I don't think you will see the F-35 alot (I assume your speaking of multiplayer) unless both sides are using this same jet. Nobody likes to be deleted in midair with no warning and that would not attract many people. EF coming to DCS is not equipped with an AESA radar and therefore will most likely compare with DCS F-15C FF. It's not going to be invincible. That being said, yes redfor needs a more modern jet. Otherwise I only see Eurocanards VS teen F-X's servers in the future.

May I ask you BN in this regard what about the fix for the Winwing panels in case of the Dimm export problem?

Changes to the behaviour of net.dostring_in()
Actium replied to BIGNEWY's topic in Scripting Tips, Tricks & Issues
assert() is used for benign error handling. It is not a security measure against malicious code. The reverted changes attempted to address the latter. -
The meteor missiles are not yet delivered to India (as part of the Rafale deal with France). So they were not really prepared to face off F-16's and J-10C's. India is facing a problem of reliable BVR missiles not just for the Rafale but for the entire India AF jets (they have old unreliable R-77's which made scandals in India in the past). They have alot in the pipeline coming for years but not yet materialized (astra MKI & II, R-37, Meteor and others). Providing that each jet is decently equipped with proper missiles, then the JF-17 does not compare with Rafale but may be more comparable with Tejas.

It would be cool to see this one. 844A2531 - EAA AirVenture - TomHedlund

I noticed there's no feedback when the plane stalls. No buffeting, no sound change, nothing at all. I have the Moza force feedback controller.

DCS: F-16C Viper Screenshots and Videos (NO DISCUSSION)
Gunfreak replied to wilbur81's topic in DCS: F-16C Viper
This was supposed to be my 800th subscriber special. I had it made some time ago. Waiting for the sniper pod. It came and also came with a bug. Causing GBUs not hitting moving targets. So I had to make a new video for that. Now that the sniper pod can guide moving targets. I can finally do this mission. Truck broken down, Taliban out in force to take advantage. Some bombing. Finding a moving column. Some gun guns guns. I had not paid attention, and was not aware that AI can't use sniper pod. So my useless wingman didn't do much. Except a single gun run at the very end. -

Сохранённая миссия. После запуска танкер КС-135 сразу идёт на посадку. Поставил ещё два танкера, которые активируются после снижения предыдущего ниже 100 метров, но после активации они так же сразу идут на посадку. При этом у всех полно топлива, задача дежурить, в общем все параметры идентичны.

Just seen this thread. But people here are talking about inside the cockpit which yeah I get especially in VR. But does anyone else notice that the canopies look too opaque with external views? Spitfire Mustang and Hornet spring to mind more than any others. If flying with cloud it’s very apparent in VR and in my opinion really spoils the external views
