Thank you both for your replies, but it really, really shouldn't be this way.

Videos please!

Some may find it unusual that after (many, many) years of DCS enjoyment, I only tried using the Campaign Builder for the first time a few days ago. What I found was shocking and dismaying. I wish to complain in the strongest possible terms regarding the sheer inadequacy of this tool. That the replies I received to a recent forum question about what should be a trivial campaign creation issue involved user-created APIs and delving into the minutae of 3rd party campaign missions just says it all. I won't turn this into an essay about persistent campaign-wide variables and unit status tracking, proper branching support and other essential features for a tool of this nature. Instead I will just point you to what was available in a twenty-six year old product, for an idea of what the functionality a tool of this kind should provide; I'm sure Matt Wagner will be able to provide further details if required. Of course, now it's plainly obvious why all* third party campaigns are, structurally, trivial linear affairs rather than complex, branching and endlessly replayable experiences that can rival any dynamic campaign in the hands of talented creators. I think the development effort in creating such a tool would be relatively minor in relation to the enormous benefit it would produce in the long run. Certainly I would've put it way ahead of, e.g., the recent very pretty but mostly unnecessary laucher app, in a priority list. * No, not all, but those that aren't involve players writing down codes and jumping through other hoops. And I am continually in awe at what the pro campaign creators produce, especially considering how lacking are the tools at their disposal. Think of what they could achieve with a tool like the one linked to above.

Looks awesome! Would absolutely love an HMAS Tobruk livery, is there a livery template to do this with?

It will be released at September. I feel it in my bones

Apologies for my ignorance but "pre-designate" and "moving targets" is a contradiction in my book. Can someone elaborate what this means? Do I pre-designate a target with an optical sensor (e.g. helmet targeting system)? But why would I then use non-predesignate for stationary targets?

It will not be included in the existing deal, the extra work is quite massive in comparison. Details are unclear at the moment as the B(U) is still out a bit. Focus currently lies on the Early-A. There will be more time to talk about the B(U) later, cheers.

А это неправильно? А вес какой? Температура наружного воздуха?

Вдохновился темой и тоже решил сделать ручку на джой. "Летаю" на "СУ-33" поэтому сделал примерно как там. Изготовление - 3Д печать, шпаклевка, наждачка, грунтовка, покраска.

This is the way.... Seriously. Also, I am not on the latest or second latest version Pimax Play, but rather on version 1.40.4. In this old version of Pimax Play one can not fine adjust Quad views settings - but - Quad views is not enabled in Pimax Play in the Tallmouse Youtube guide above anyway so it doesn't matter. So, no Quadviews box ticked in Pimax Play - but rather installing Mbucchias Quad Views has been a problem solver for me. For those who doesn't know - the video shows how to use this "external" (not Pimax Play version) of Quad Views from Mbucchia and then use the Quad Views companion app from Tallymouse to adjust and fine adjust the Quad views settings. I am probably not on the latest nvidia drivers either, I am using 576.88 - but I don't think that matters much really. But following the Youtube guide above here - what a difference! It seems there are a lot of steps to follow in the video, but it's pretty easy. I skipped the part that makes it possible to launch DCS from the Pimax Play menus - I just start the DCS launcher instead.

Same for all, because on Steam the final price is the discounted EA price already (-20% from future release - after EA - price). Now it's Preorder price (-13% from EA price). https://steamdb.info/app/3164870/

I never wanted to buy Persian Gulf or NTTR due to their 'outdated-ness'. Eventually, I caved in and I am glad I purchased both maps. They were cheap (on sale) and the amount of content you get with them (sometimes at additional cost) is very much worth the price of entry, especially as a singleplayer kind of guy. The training campaign for the A-10CII by Baltic Dragon for the NTTR map and the excellent Operation Persian Freedom for the PG map alone made me happy. However... This summer I traveled to Georgia and I was lucky enough to have a good look at it from the air: it was day and there were no clouds. Suffice to say, Georgia in DCS looks nothing like the real thing. Half of the landmass was not green but steppe, there were rolling hills everywhere, the Caucasus mountain range looked intimidating even from afar, and the terrain in general changed every few miles. In DCS Georgia is that flat, ever-green map that looks basically the same from the Black Sea to the eastern end of the Caucasus mountain range. And don't get me started on Tbilisi: even the rudimentary geography is incorrect. So while the PG and NTTR maps are great despite their shortcomings (southern Iran being a vast patch of emptiness...), the Caucasus really needs redoing from the ground up. It should look much more like the mountain areas in Afghanistan for the northern part and much more like a mix of Germany and Iraq for the heartland. Naturally, I jumped right into a digital airplane when I came back from my travels, and seeing the DCS version of Georgia just made me sad. I honestly think a rework should be strongly considered.

Many thanks @flag02004!

Dumb Question: Can the GROM(Kh-66) from the Mig21 be integrated on the Mig29A, as a precision strike weapon? Just asking, because it is already in the simulation & weapons are made by ED.

Any chance to add vortex shaking (for heli) in Simhaptic in DCS?

Same in Norway 13%

As any of us for that matter. When you state 'many teams, coders...' etc. Allow me to say that is not what I fell through all the post in the forum topics throughout the years as every request is replyed with 'no time', 'no manpower' or similar. Reporting issues and fixing them fall into the same - manpower, timeline so... The only way your suggestion to be implemented is for the ED to opensource the projects and allow pull-push request on them...not gonna happened

Don't expect too much from the MiG-29A in real-world air combat, except in games.

Have you tried Tally‘s setup guide? The only way for me to get good results (despite having no crashes using only Pimax Play).

It sounds like reprojection is kicking in. Asynchronous Space Warp. You can disable this on Oculus Debug Tools or use Oculus Tray Tool. Or use the key binds: Ctrl + Num1: ASW Disabled Ctrl + Num2: Force 45 fps, no ASW Ctrl + Num3: Force 45 fps, with ASW Ctrl + Num4: Auto ASW (default)

@Calvin.Pimax Hello Ive spent my trial period attempting to get stability from the super in dcs. After several weeks I think I have figured out a pattern that causes the crash. 1) If I go to saved games and delete the DCS folder I appear to get one good run from DCS it will run at least 30 to 40 min and have no issues during that play period (at least within that time frame as far as I can tell) 2) On the next attempt after Ive shut off pimax play I will relaunch pimax play and pick DCS from my assets and launch as normal 3) quad views will not run and FPS will be low. restarting does not appear to solve the problem. 4) I can get quad views to work again in several ways I can make edits to it in the dcs game settings and I think it will work on the next launch. I can enable it global and it will work on the next launch. I can go to games / dcs and pick "Start" from the bottom of the dcs settings window. 5) In all cases dcs will now crash with in 10 to 20 min. This appears to get worse with continued attempts (maybe) To use again repeat steps 1. steps 2-5 seem to follow as described each time. I believe i notice visual anomalies before the crash for example it feels like tracking maybe degrade just enough for a second or two that it makes you ask "was that slowed down or just me being real smooth and not moving much" I can see a flicker when looking down and back up this flicker is actually the image appearing twice but off set slightly for a frame or two. My pilots position in the cockpit may change just a bit you notice when you press the recenter button. ALL of this was occurring and I was like yep this is gonna crash in like a minute... and it did. Any ideas 4090, 13900k, 64mb ram Ive not really tested the super much outside of DCS. I have Alyx but cant get it to load I get a purple grid in the preview window I read this is a resolution issue and can be fixed with a console command... did not have time to F with that. Test HMD runs fine but I havent tried running it for 20 min either. Thanks!

Some news on "woodland" and "snow" liveries (WIP)... https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/13wLdZbAEHsj3pVJxOQRENnHVj-Wa2U4Z?usp=sharing

Кто-нибудь заметил что на высоте 2700 ми-8 уже не может взлететь потверталетному ? Есть ли решение вопроса ?
