Because only the GPU needs 350w-450w. According to reviews.

No worries, I always provide instructions.

How is this done again?

Hi gents, Rob10, yes FXO and METASHADERS2 folders deleted before posting, thanks. MAXsenna, Canopy static reflections were off in the special options, tried again with static reflections on, issue fixed. Loaded another skin the issue was back, I suspect it's related to Texac's default improved skin package, maybe some conflict with his default textures folder which needs to be placed in the F-16 Liveries folder. Finally turned down canopy reflections to 0 in the graphics setting, appears to have resolved the issue. Cheers!

Spot on. I'm one of those.

Reading all these limitations - I'm surprised that any foreign airforce ever decided to buy the F-104. I live in Germany, where the F-104 was "famous" - or should I say notorious - in the 60ies for it's spectacular crashes and insane sonic booms. They were all substituted with Phantoms which turned out to be way better operable and useable.

Cruise and TAS boxes don't really correspond well in regard to RaNGe and ENDurance. In my example best range Q is shown as 64% TRQ in the Cruise box, while the TAS box is showing 117 kts as the maximum range speed. Max endurance Q is supposed to be 41% at a speed of 71 kts. Lets focus on maximum range speed, 64% at 117 kts. Bottom line is, these tandem values are impossible to achieve in DCS. With a TRQ of 64% I merely achieve 104 kts in level flight (I even allowed a slight descend to keep that speed), so around 12% lower speed than required for maximum range as per the TAS box info. Also the fuel flow in the Cruise box for 64% Q is predicted 991. Checking on the Fuel format page, the calc flow for the current 64% is 1170 in total, which is 18% above the prediction of the PERF format page. Brad mentioned in discord that drag can affect the values. But I am a bit surprised to see the deviations being that enormous. Even in case the prediction fails to be accurate, how can predicted Q and speeds mismatch that far? No, I can't provide any real world data on "how it should be". Rather I am clueless if this is wanted as designed and want to bring this to your attention in case a further refinement is required. Its the size of difference, which lets me doubt that this is correct. Yet maybe it is? If these deviations are realistic, I am curious how the PERF data can be of use in any meaningful way IRL when in fact the values are unreliably off from the actual state of your flight. I wouldn't even know what to actually aim for when attempting maximum range flight, 64% torque or 117 kts? Or are these parts of the PERF page ignored IRL due to their inaccuracies and at least for maximum endurance I rather have to rely on the SFR of the FUEL page? This is a few moments of my flight, before the screenshot above was made. (unlisted video)

Literally unplayable /s

These NVGs in the A-10 are very bad during a full moon night, I don't know what they are like in the real world, but on full moon nights they are almost useless, I liked the old NVG from the beginning of the DCS A-10C better,The pilot's view was much clearer and was not limited by the circle and with a rather broad view,which is this picture below.

Adding and editing FM presets from the cockpit appears to be broken. After entering a valid VHF FM frequency (let's say 33.000) and hitting ENTER, the frequency display just flashes ERR and resets the entered frequency to 30.000. The issue only seems to be present on the FM (1) radio; entering UHF or VHF AM presets worked fine for me. Interestingly enough, FM frequencies are accepted when omitting the trailing 0: 33.00 + ENTER (+ ENTER again for the name of the preset) stores the frequency. And entering a value like 33.05 + ENTER shifts the frequency to 33.500. Looks like the handling of the frequency portion after the decimal point might be broken. Thanks Jimothy-Jones on the ED Discord for suggesting to omit the last "0"! That at least looks like a workaround. KW_Add_FM_Preset_ERR.trk

The DCS Apache can do it if you control the rotor droop, but it's not exactly representative of real life.

What are the Zonar M70 variant of the HEAT rockets used for? Obviously the HEAT warheads are better for tanks, the HE-Frag for soft stuff, but the only reference I can find to Zonar seems to be that it's a proximity fuse. So why is it on a HEAT warhead rocket? Is this to get the correct standoff for the charge to form and penetrate better or am I misunderstanding the Viggen weapons?

Here are some findings I suggest to complete. Several control bindings ar missing like all right panel lighting knobs and switches Depression Mils reticle controls (hundreds cannot be set to "2" or more) Circuit breakers only partially clickable Most HOTAS bindings not available I don't know if that was ever intended but NS430 support would be great too.

We don’t.

Thank you for the hard work on this map. I must say ED did an outstanding job. Below is a comparison with some real footage. ReShade 6.5.1 with some basic filters

Проще говоря, этот комплект, я думаю, будет входить в состав комплекта DCS: Объекты Второй Мировой. Так что как выйдет так сразу и войдёт, как бы странно это не звучало Но за удовольствие, как говориться, придётся доплатить.

Not that much... I mean... F-104 combat range - 420nm vs EEL combat range 135nm. Is it even worth to take off?? Purely defensive plane. Not a fighter - just Interceptor. Not very capable one, since there is no place for bigger radar antenna, and no serious Fox 1 missiles could be used on it. Unable to perform any mission behind the front line not A2A nor A2G (well... Kuwait is exception, but it isn't a very big country - they could ignore massive thirst of Lightning and his non existing range, since they sleep on Oil, and they country is so small, that you may see both ends from one tower in between them) No CAP, just GAI missions like MiG-21F-13 or MiG-21 PF/PFM (SPS). Very limited usage. You would be bored flying it after 5 days. It's actually very funny if one think: Adm. Yamamoto was killed during first known purposely performed Interception mission - thanks to huge range of P-38. British Lightning in spite of his speed would be unable to perform that interception. But if you live on an Island you can built fighters that can't reach speed of sound - pretending that they do, or build very fast interceptor, that is unable to utilize his great speed/climb anywhere except well prepared exercises. As for armament... a photo pasted by @Tengah shows one big nothing. Not Impressive even for modest F-104G capabilities. Many guys will gladly Ignore limitations of F-104 - because it's thrilling to fly , insanely pretty, and it's a legend known all over the world. EEL is nowhere near to that. It's ugly from every possible angle, and seem to be a one trick pony.

Нет, не так. Как понял я, этот комплект будет просто продаваться отдельно по аналогии с комплектом Объектов Второй Мировой. Скидку получат владельцы комплекта DCS: Объекты Второй Мировой. Точнее наверное будет так: этот комплект будет входить в состав комплекта DCS: Объекты Второй Мировой. У тех у кого его нет нужно будет купить, а тем у кого он уже есть предлагается скидка

Seeing the same thing

Я предполагаю, что в абзаце: "С момента выхода первоначального комплекта прошло некоторое время, и мы хотим поделиться списком новых воздушных, наземных и морских объектов, готовящихся к выходу. Владельцы комплекта Объектов Второй Мировой, смогут приобрести новый комплект с 30% скидкой!" словосочетание: "первоначального комплекта" относится к комплекту Объектов Второй Мировой который в продаже уже давно, а словосочетание: "готовящихся к выходу" предлагаю понимать соответственно, хотя может я и ошибаюсь. К тому же Wags вчера в дискорде сказал что состав комплекта может измениться, я надеюсь он имел ввиду - дополниться.

I don't want to blame you. It just wasn't clear for me which links belong together and had to be installed to make it work with latest DCS release. Based on the usual habits in the DCS forum I was searching for the 1st page posts in this thread which turned out for me as a try-and-error with the different possible link combinations. Don't mind - it works now. All is fine.

Now that we're getting serious about Pacific WW2 action, I agree (and have been experimenting with this as well), please please please ED, give us the option to tick a box in the ME so that when the LCVP spawns it can be spawned with marines ready to storm the beach!

I hope this will be able to work with the upcoming C-130J.

What problem are you having? That looks like it should be a pretty standard USB controller which should be no problem.

Hey @Yurgon I do not know if they are monitoring this forum but they should (this is official support forum) ...anyway very grateful that Dino himself has responded to the discord question. I am hoping the dev team comes on here and start looking the issues for this module and module get it patched up in a timely manner.
