All Activity

Confirm. Thanks)

Nach langer Aufbauphase ist es nun endlich soweit, die Ausbildung der ersten drei IP´s auf dem Muster AH-64D hat begonnen. Unsere neue militärische Heimat, der Heeresflugplatz BUECKEBURG bietet uns hierfür alles was wir an Infrastruktur benötigen. Angefangen vom Platz für die 1. Staffel "Warheads" welche in Zukunft bis zu 6 Maschinen AH-64D "Apache" ihr eigen nennen dürfen, weiter über Übungsmöglichkeiten auf dem Flugplatz selber aber auch in unmittelbarer Nähe, wie beispielsweise der Übungsplatz SENNE (ED-R 18) und auch MUNSTER/BERGEN (ED-R 27 u. ED-R 28) sowie Tieffluggebiete und Außenlandeplätze (ALP). Sehr Zentral gelegen, wird uns die Lage zukünftig sicher des Öfteren zu Gute kommen wenn es darum geht mit anderen Verbänden im deutschsprachigen aber auch im europäischen Raum zu üben. Der Heeresflugplatz BUECKEBURG bietet uns weiterhin genügend Platz um das Geschwader in der Zukunft um weitere Staffeln erweitern zu können. Die Planungen hierzu laufen bereits, Stand jetzt ist dies jedoch noch etwas Zukunftsmusik. Unser Fokus liegt aktuell auf der Ausbildung der IPs für die 1. Staffel, ist diese vollumfänglich abgeschlossen, öffnen wir die Tore für potenzielle Anwärter auf dem Muster AH-64D. Wir werden vorerst keine Fliegerische Grundausbildung in dem Sinne anbieten, viel mehr werden wir eine tiefgreifende Systemausbildung auf dem Muster AH-64D Blk. II durchführen. Angefangen bei Aufbau und Konzept des "Apache" über fliegerische Standardverfahren, fliegen bei Dunkelheit und eingeschränkter Sicht bis hin zur taktischen Ausbildung im Flight. Sinn und Zweck dieser Ausbildung wird es sein, alle Piloten in der 1. Staffel des vHSG-23 auf einen gemeinsamen, sehr professionellen Ausbildungsstand zu bringen. Ziel ist es im Austausch mit anderen Verbänden an diversen Übungen teilzunehmen. Alle fliegerischen Aktivitäten innerhalb des Geschwaders stützen sich jederzeit auf unsere Flugmuster SOP. Eine in meinen Augen ganz besondere Info möchte ich hier zum Schluss noch loswerden. Die 1./JG71 "Richthofen" hat vor kurzem ein besonderes Projekt an den Start gebracht, den GCWNTS - Germany Cold War NATO Trainings Server. Dieser Server bietet uns als Geschwader Heimat und das in einem ganz besonderen Umfeld. Zusammen mit anderen Staffel, Geschwadern und Squadrons wollen wir zukünftig unsere Flugabende gemeinsam fliegen. Auch wenn die unterschiedlichen Verbände teils verschiedene Homebases nutzen, so ist es doch eine ganz besondere und immersive Erfahrung einen belebten Funk genießen zu können. Die Map ist wirklich schön durchdacht und nach möglichst realem Vorbild gestaltet. Der Discord Channel bietet die Möglichkeit Controller Unterstützung für ATC, Lufträume und CRCs zu requesten. Ist ein ATC verfügbar, "bucht" dieser sich ein. So entsteht ein tolles System der Nachfrage und Angebot für realistische Verfahren rund um das Thema ATC. Weiterhin besteht die Möglichkeit sich für ein Flugvorhaben ein Übungsgebiet zu "reservieren". Das ganze zielt wie gesagt auf Full-Real Verbände ab und bietet eine extrem tolle Umgebung. Ein ganz besonderer Dank geht an Nils von der ERSTEN (1./JG71 "Richthofen") für die Einladung und vor allem die Umsetzung dieses Projekts. Ein herzliches Dankeschön und ein dickes Lob vom vHSG-23.

This is a nice idea but it is not fixing the issue with the FOV vs Font size in the Chinook. I have tried with a font size 46 and if you increase the font size in this lua, there are some important data fields that are "boxed", for instance the magnetic heading in the PFD where you cannot see the whole number well since the digits are too big. I do fly helicopters with glass cockpit in real life (AW139) although not the CH-47, and numbers and fonts are made to me easy to read at one glance. Having to play with snapview or zooming inside the cockpit although a temporary solucion should not be "the solution". I hope the devs can take a look at this at sometime since this the the human-machine interface and at this time is not optimal. Other helicopters sucj the Apache or the Kiowa also have MDF that contain easy to read information the way it should. Please when possible, fix this. Thanks!

And looking at your dismissive replies one can't help but wonder if you're so happy with DCS, why do you troll these forums looking to invalidate the opinions of others, instead of playing DCS? The way to improve things is by providing feedback. You might not face the issues they are. Please stop the "if they don't have bread, let them eat cake" attitude. This is the WISH list forum, you gain nothing from crapping on others. ------ Adding to the points put forth by OP: Native exports of MFD/UFC/DED/CDU etc. A second monitor is probably the cheapest way to enhance the DCS experience. The folks at Helios have already found the way to make it a seamless process, but it breaks IC in some cases. All ED would have to do is to add a couple of lines of code to each supported module, which they have been reluctant to do. With the Chinook, ED has regressed a bit and disabled the export of all but one MFD. From what I heard the code is already there, but commented out. I understand it's an early access product, but is exporting the remaining displays game breaking?

Dynamic weather that changes mid-mission is currently not possible. I do have some ideas to make random weather at mission start possible. I will see what I can do.

What was your speed? I did between 900-1000 kmh it seems be oddly limited to 7.5-8 G

THE MASS BRIEFING IS PREPARED!!! Iniochos_2025_Mass_Briefing.pdf

In the picture the rocket power switch appears to be in the off position.

Yes, I know. But I get lost in the count after I’ve used all of my fingers and toes. Wait! As long as it’s north of 18/sec, I should be okay. Good thinking!

Night flying with the Crystal, for me looks like peering through a smudged window for black levels...I am looking into this as well, as it's likely a setting I messed up somewhere or ignored. Inside the cockpit seemed normal, but I will have to verify as I was too busy getting distracted by the "fog" I did have an older Quadviews/OpenXR setup, and recently uninstalled that to use the Pimax version builtin. I will do some testing today or over the weekend, see how far I get.

@diego999 Outstanding! I would have never figured that out! I do wish stuff like that was in a wiki (updated) or some sorts of knowledge base. Thanks dude!

e.g. Some require more redfor ff modules but others complain about pushing out new modules for sale instead of working on the core features. When they change the DCS core, mission creators complain about discontinuity. When they add a new module half of us cry out for siutable assets. And when they have done all of this you come around and complain about to much required hard drive space. Its impossible for them to do it right, since everyone has his own opinion of what is right.

Most common cause is DLSS dll substitution request in Nvidia App. By doing that the dll near the game exe will be ignored and the one from Nvidia drivers package will be loaded instead.

Just count seconds for every 360

Not sure, I'm currently working on fixes and updates on the core assets since the release.

When?

Ahhh, ok. I asked because, not long ago I was turning circles in the sky with the -A. Started with full fuel and 2 AAMs. Initially I was sustaining 8.1 Gs. By the time I was low on fuel, I was holding 9.7–9.8 Gs on the merry-go-round. I was at around 1500 m altitude. Unfortunately, I can’t find my key for the payware version of TacView. So I can’t chart the turn rate during all of this.

Sure, but the reasons for that are very different: in the Falcon the entire canapy is gold coated to reduce the RCS, while on Cy-27 it’s just a type of plexiglass that changes colour due to age and exposure to sunlight.

Damn what a manifest. As I read the title line I did expect some other points, but accusing ED for DCS being a storage intensive sim is quite akward. Also your download issues. Even if there would be a desire to play while downloading, how often do you download the whole game? If you feel you have to speak up, there would have been far more seroius things to complain. The net.dostring story is realy a big one or the fact, that dispite the known performance issues in VR there is still no option to switch off that f..king flanker in the main menu which eats up your VRam. But there you have it, there is no we, there is only a you, and a me and sometimes it might be an us. Every one has its own problems and wishes and ED has created a big monstrous Frankensim with thousends of individuals with even more wishes and needs. I think despite all frustration we have to acknowledge that ED does a lot of work. Just look in the changelogs. And often enough a well ment change turns out to be a boomerang and creates new issues. And they do care about the community. Nineline and BIGNEWEY sometimes have more patience than I could probalbly have. They are not perfect, but to handle such a demanding community with such a big sim is quite a challenge I asume. You can´t satisfy everyone and there are often questionable descisions but thats just how it works when you have tu run a business and make design decisions. And don´t forget, only because you are a active member you don´t own ED nor DCS. It´s their product and their decision and you can make your decisions as you like. Maybe you have more luck with the developers of that other sim. Its smaller, runs smoother and doesn´t cost anything.

Well, I like the clear cockpit but an optional yellow cockpit in the 'Special' menu as in the F-16C would be nice.

Hi, thanks for the dxdiag. Your system seems to have some kernel errors in WER. Ensure your system is up to date, check all drivers. Make sure your bios is up to date also.

Unplayable isnt how I would describe it, clearly thousands of people are playing DCS in VR. As mentioned in the other thread you started its best we take a look at your dcs log and dxdiag to offer some advice, but all options have quirks, there isnt a fix that will help when it comes to wanting perfection based on personal preference. It will depend on the settings, the hardware, and its performance. But please continue in the other thread we can take a look at your setup specifically to see if we can help. best regards bignewy

17 hour and 13 to unpack? what system are your computer... and your internet conection? I have a 1 Gb conection and download and install DCS from scratch only take arround 1 hour (from 2020). The last big updates will take 20-50 minutes... I have a exclusive SDD (2 TB) and working on DCS from 7 years ago and none problems. And before claim... I have install SC, and other Steam game on the same drive. If you have many maps, you have 400 GB of data on your SSD... My instalation has 974 GB and has none problem... Welcome to the expensive world of flight simulation (from 20 years ago)... I have a Hotas Warthog from 5 years ago and many other perifericals (check my firm), a 1080 Graphic card and and 2 32 Gb RAM DDR4 and work properly. The comunity has part of the comunity... but remember, ED and 3rd parties maintain them. ED has your propper VIACOM system and working on update and expand them. Part of CurrentHill assets pack and other assest creators has been added free to DCS as official content from the last 2-3 years ago. Welcome to the real Simulation on PC...

Get yourself high and fast, the less atmosphere the phoenix has to go through means less drag, if you can get through the transonic region to Mach 1.2 (a lot of drag in the transonic area) before you launch that’ll help too.

The event will be held among JATF members. LockOn Greece is one of them along other squadrons.
