Was searching for something about AI air refueling not completing/finishing. Found a topic that was closed. Over Multiple mission files (~8) 2 Different PC's; one use to build mission and test, one clean as I can get it (used only to 'play'). 2 Different maps: Mariana's and Afghanistan Aircraft: F16-Blk 50/52d/DCS F16, All F18 variants Most would join on tanker and take gas, BUT Post AR they will move to port/starboard positions and not continue on route - they continue in formation with the tanker. However, If a single-ship (not a flight of 2) some (F-16's) would work - would continue on route post AR None of the F18's worked at all - would not refuel to start with. There's nothing much in these; I've been doing this stuff for years and beyond the usual issues it's always worked; all defaults except tasks Tanker mission task = "Refueling" Fighter WP[1] task = "Refueling", with/without tanks, internal fuel 25%, with a follow-on WP to land (100+ miles away); starting between 20-40 miles away from teh tanker track. Thanks for the work

Имеет ли значение для VR какой PCI E активен 5.0 или 4.0? Став счастливым обладателем 5090 я был счастливым ровно до тех пор пока от магазина до дома ехал. Вкорячив эту еб…анину в комп началось веселье. Карта определяться отказалась, загрузка вставала на post code 94. Принудительно переключил PCI E на GEN 4. Сейчас вроде все завелось но осадок остался… купил вроде с прицелом перейти уже на GEN5 а оно вот как оказалось, моя x870e hero с ней не дружит.

I've been flying the F-104, here's some feedback I hope you find useful: - First of all, the work you have done is amazing. Great visuals and clickable cockpit. Couldn't ask for more. - Wheel brake axis doesn't seem to be working. - Turning on the radar introduces some slight stuttering. Nothing major but you can "feel" it and it shows on the in-built performance monitor. - The plane is very unstable and doesn't fly in a straight line. I know the real thing was very unforgiving but at the moment I wasn't able to make it fly straight and level, and it doesn't feel like the real plane was that bad. I'm not a real pilot so I can't tell for sure. Just my impression. - I tested Sidewinders and gun last night. It was great. I will test bombs and rockets tonight. Great job!

Dynamic numbers for the slew of default skins we have would be nice.

I own all the warbirds except the I-16 with god knows how many hundreds of hours accumilated among them and I did not find the Corsair to be exceedingly easy in takeoff or landing. On the takeoff roll it behaves somewhere between the Spitfire and the Mustang. Not quite as squirelly as the Spit, but not as stable as the Mustang. Landing was about on par with the Jug. However the tire friction physics seem to still be wip, as they're sticker compared to all the ED warbirds, which tend to slide laterally as if they're on ice during takeoff/landing rolls. Once airborne you need to jump on the rudder trim and get that ball centered promptly or the torque will spin you into the trees, as it did the person who took off just before me in the server.

I started her up more-or-less the same way as I did the P-47 and had no issues: 1. Cowl flaps open 2. Fuel selector on main tank 3. Prop pitch full fine (aft) 4. Throttle cracked open about 2cm/1in 5. Battery on 6. Fuel pump on 7. Primer 5 seconds 8. Mags to both (full port) 9. Hold starter, after the prop made 3 or 4 full revolutions I set mixture to auto-rich (middle position) And she was purring after that.

I got the parameter list using the software DCS-BIOS, specifically its Lua-Console utility

Interesting....I'll give that a try, thank you. Is there a place/link to find F-14 base sensor lists?

Yep same here. The noise is insane after a few mins. The best WW2 bird of DCS currently unflyable. Tried disabling all mods, tried at cold start, hot start, no difference & seemingly no way to rid of it.

I was talking about start of developement to start of EA because it took RB 12 years from announcment to start of EA for the Strike Eagle. If you are talking about the time from announcment to final release you might be right.

Any damaged AI warbird, when considered "killed", will go into a left or right level turn at roughly 400 knots and will stay that way indefinitely, even when their engines are no longer operational.

This will definitely happen if your computer is properly suspended for at least 30 minutes, because the DCS client process will not be executing and thus unable to communicate with the DCS master server, which causes the master server to forget its session id. For details, see here (same thread as I posted above). Windows may however decide to do some suspension voodoo that'll cause periodic process execution, e.g., thru Connected Standby. Just hypothesizing. For me, a 30+ minute suspension always results in an expired session termination.

To clear up a couple of things. The emails are not from DCS. They are the types of emails one gets from the email being sold to "marketing partners". I've DM'ed BIGNEWY in hopes he can figure this out. Although that door can't be closed once it's been opened. I logged directly into the DCS forum via the bookmark link that I've had on my computer for several years. the same one I used to return to this thread this evening. My computer stays updated and automatically performs security scans weekly. I logged in right after checking my email this evening, that had an additional 22 phishing/sales emails in the junk folder. I am very frustrated by this as I'm sure any of you would be. Maybe someone can open a new DCS account using an alternative email. Not one that you currently use or you may become as frustrated as I am.

Hello! I’m midway through my first comprehensive campaign and invite you to help me test and improve it as I build. The campaign gives you RPG-like choices as you play which dictate which missions you can skip, giving you different playing experiences. Mission 1 is live now for testing and currently has 200 downloads. I Would appreciate others playing jt and posting any bugs or suggestions. Missions 2 and 3 are with moderators and will be live shortly. Keep an eye out for links. The Campaign Background With little diplomatic or military options to resist Israeli aggression, Iran is desperate to coerce the international community to broker peace on its behalf. To do this, it has been targeting oil and commercial interests in the Strait of Hormuz in an attempt to drive up international oil prices. A small US-led, multinational task force “Taskforce Sentinel” whose mission is to keep the shipping lanes of the Strait open, suddenly finds itself on the front line of an international crisis. The Mission In mission 1 you’ll come to the aid of an oil tanker - The Blue Orion - as it evades an Iranian attempt to capture it. You’ll perform a show of force, which will fail, and will be given the choice of starting hostilities or allowing the tanker to be taken. If the tanker is taken, your second mission is a daring raid to recapture it and its crew. If you open fire, however, it’ll ignite a local conflict. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3344794/

My last 4 or 5 flights, when I start looking through the MMS, my game crashes. Am I the only one? Log attached. dcs.log-20250622-002410.zip

Is anyone else experiencing a strong tendency for the aircraft to roll right? Controls are neutral and no trim when it happens.

After last update, the Mosquito sounds the undercarriage horn since the start of the mission, in any configuration: cold and dark cockpit, start in the air, start at runway. Quite annoying. Only unofficial Mod installed: Community A-4E and Hercules. Using MT.

As of this weekend, I sometimes could not Lock a Target and even when I did, I was not getting a Laser RANGE TO TARGET. NONE ! As such, I never knew exactly how far the target was from me and the Vikhr Missile often fell short (even when inside 3km's) ! I checked that All my Controls were working and recognized in the Controls Settings. I even changed which button (on my Throttle) that I use for Locking and Ranging a Target and that didn't affect anything. Still no Range shown. I should note that I usually use Auto Start to save some farting around, especially using VR with a Bad Back and Neck which negates my ability to look at either of the Rear Panels or many of the switches etc on the Right Wall Panel (towards the rear). My Master Arm is ON. I do have Vikhrs Missiles. The Laser switch is ON. The "Laser Rangefinder/Designator Mode Switch" is on MANUAL and the Correct Pylon has been selected indicating I have 12 Vikhrs. It's also important to note that I am NOT in Gun Mode. So I just don't understand what is going on. Last weekend, everything worked just peachy. This weekend ... Hair Pulling was in order !! Somebody Please Help me understand wtf is going on ? PS> While I was away from DCS for Years, I have been flying Black Shark 3 every weekend for the last 2 months but I'll admit, I had this same issue a month ago or so. It all worked just fine last weekend.

Another picture of this Beautiful Machine!

I've noticed this in flight, but not on the ground. Is it possible your engine RPM was down around 700-800? I don't know if the flaps actuators are electric or hydraulic. Seems like some electrical power drops off if the RPM is below 1,000 RPM. This may be intentional to replicate the way the real aircraft behaves. But I don't know. In flight they seem to deploy to about 20, even when set to full down. ...until your speed drops somewhere below about 120 knots or so, then they fully deploy. I believe this is working as intended, and I assume as the flaps would on the real aircraft. It might be an intended function of the real aircraft's flaps? Partially to protect them from damage and partially to smooth out handling? I don't know for sure, but I suspect that what they're supposed to do. Or maybe I'm abusing them.

Greetings, I am not sure what caused the issue, but the forward most elevator came partially down and basically created a cavern into the carrier's interior. Obviously this causes serious issues with trying to take off. Has anyone else had this issue? I haven't been seen any posts about it anywhere else. Thanks in advance

I Absolutely Love the New Corsair! What a Beautiful masterpiece!

I came up with a different solution for this problem because sometimes I have a hard enough time finding my mouse cursor on my Desktop/Monitor. So I went into Control Panel and Mouse Properties and Selected or Checked the Bottom Option on the "Pointer Options" TAB. Now any time I can't see or find my mouse cursor, I just tap my Left Ctrl button (on my keyboard) and I see a big, black Circle around my Cursor. It comes and goes in about 1 second or less. It's enough time to find it and away I go.
