That almost sounds like the right wheel brake is dragging. Im sure you have already tried this but it wouldn’t hurt to pump the brakes once and see if something releases, or maybe invert the curve if you have the brakes set in the Axis only column. I will check tomorrow and see how I have it set up and let you know.

South Atlantic Development Report An update to the DCS: South Atlantic map is in development and planned for inclusion in an upcoming DCS update. Every airfield is receiving an optimization pass to lower video memory usage. Texture fidelity is being improved significantly, with airfield textures quadrupling and building materials doubling. Vegetation across the map will now use a new distribution algorithm for denser and more natural coverage. Snow distribution and tiling issues are also being corrected. Normal maps are getting upgraded and integrated across the Argentina and Chile landmass to improve surface relief and lighting response. Airfield lighting and visual systems will receive a complete refresh. All lighting will use new tech, and airfield lighting will react to takeoffs and landings. Ushuaia PAPI lights are getting properly leveled too. Specter Studios is adding animated airfield radar units where appropriate and replacing all wind turbines with map specific animated models, as well introducing a variety of new airfield objects. A large set of airfields and points of interest are being revamped, including: Port Stanley, Ushuaia, Ushuaia Helo Port, Mount Pleasant, Punta Arenas, Puerto Natales, Mare Harbour, Rio Gallegos, Rio Grande, Provenir, Franco Bianco, O Higgins, Almirante Schroeders, San Julian, Comandante Luis Piedrabuena, and Pampa Guanaco. Mission planning quality of life is also being improved. The F10 map will show country borders and helicopter locations along with additional visual refinements. The Mission Editor default date is now the 1st of October, 2024 so summer textures are selected by default for new missions. Once this update is released the map will be feature complete and exit early access. However, improvements and bug fixes will continue. Please remember that you can purchase now whilst the 20% early access discount is still available. Specter Studios has a DCS Forum Page to discuss their projects. Bye Phant

It would be enough to add voice chat to the tactical, Game Master, and JTAC rules. Using the same panel as the FC4 models where you can directly enter the frequency. But it would be fantastic if they allowed integration with external applications. Alternatively, they could also make an effort and create an additional role for AWACS, where you essentially see everything the aircraft sees, because currently the only native alternative is to use the Game Master role, or the fog of war. I had made a suggestion to implements the voice chat in this role:

Geez eightball. You said you would never print that picture of me trying to break dance! seabat

I've updated the pack on the userfiles (same link as before), fixing the 3 tanker liveries, they should display properly now.

my wifi router is in the other room about 25-30' away and I don't have any problem with VD and quest 3. Am I just lucky?

Yup, hopefully before the end of the year. To add the AI C-123 provider, a few ground units and static objects. I don't have a defined list at the moment, I'd like to add a serie of static objects to increase the Vietnam "feel" on the Mariana WWII map, stuff like weapons cache, tunnel entrance, etc. as well as a few custom cargo objects to carry internally (special thanks to @TeTeT) Quick test: Unfortunately, the UH-1H cargo bay is quite small, can't even fit a stretcher in there No, I can't really share it in its current state. But if you can a great AI blackhawk mod: I tried and I can't figure out how to do it. The kind of animations necessary always create conflict for some reason.

Steam Canada is showing a 13% discount on the Mig-29. Any idea why 13% when 30% is mentioned in the newsletter? null

I use Virtual Desktop, which is about $25 from Meta. To do that you also need to download and install the VD Streamer app. You could use AirLink or Live LInk with a cable. For either VD or Air LInk you're going to need a dedicated wireless router within about 5 feet of your headset. I use the Puppis S1 which is the least expensive option and it works well once set up correctly.

Hello, dear ED team. I wanted to point out small but annoying irregularity considering JFS startup. In real life, JFS starter turbine is cranking using 2 compressed gas reservoirs. As you know, start 1 for one "bottle" and start 2 for both at the same time. Problem is that in real life JFS reservoirs are exhausted a bit less than 2 minutes (can't remember where I've seen this info on their duration) after START switch is set to 2 (or 1), while in DCS they are infinite and will never exhaust. With this, timing is crucial when bringing engine to life. Right after SEC light dissapears and RPM hits ~20%, handle is immediately placed to idle position in order to finish engine start up before reservoirs (or one reservoir) are depleted. Refilling those reservoirs is not an easy task ! Right now we don't have to pay attention to this and can idle engine whenever we like, which is wrong. Can this be simulated in the future ? Where: 1.) JFS is actually timed about 2 minutes and if throttle is not placed in idle position in this time frame (too late), JFS stops, JFS indication light goes out, engine cannot be started and we need to request ground crew option to repair aircraft or add additional Ground crew menu option for "JFS reservoirs refill". 2.) If we attempt to set throttle to idle too early, before SEC light is off and RPM is less then ~20%, it should be simulated as hot start - there’s not enough airflow to keep the engine cool. FTIT should indicate hot start where engine start up should be aborted to prevent possible damage (maybe this is already simulated, I forgot to test it). https://theaviationgeekclub.com/starting-the-engine-on-an-f-16-viper-is-different-from-most-other-jet-aircraft-heres-why/amp/ Thank you for your time. Best regards.

Good Lord....

I'm a bit old fashioned. I just rent things which are not affordable to buy for me but I absolutely need. All other things: buy it or live without it.

I have 2 versions of DCS on my system now. 2.9 and an older version for the Eurofighter. Now I'm trying to find the last version of the Eurofighter. Does anyone have the zip file for Eurofighter Typhoon by Lechuzas Negras v1.0.72 please?

Looks like the google drive link is broken. I also looked here https://media.heatblur.se/HB-F-14_Paintkit-v1.0.rar for the Paintkit. Link takes you nowhere. Where can one get this these days? Edit: While I'm at it... Where can one get all of the heatblur aircraft's paintkits, F-4 & Viggen included?

Thank you for assuming updating this map.

It may be, but the fact remains that most vehicles in DCS do not have working lights, while those that do will always have them on. It would be much preferable to have them set as an option in ME, consistently.

Does anybody have this file please? NEW VERSION! Eurofighter Typhoon by Lechuzas Negras v1.0.72

Are there any plans of adding the AIM missile mods to this aircraft... like the AIM-174s

Wir werden bald alles über die MIG-29 im EA wissen...ich tippe auf den Zeitraum irgendwann innerhalb der nächsten 7 bis 15 Tage .

I am looking for the exact same information while trying to produce a 1986-era peacetime server. I have found ranges, training areas, and basic corridor outlines produced on GoogleEarth, but little detail or context.

Ummmm - it seems the issue is with the F-22. Thoughts? Bodo_Landing_Bug_1.miz

You can get a third party cable with a charging port.
