Just yesterday I was really happy when I saw this screenshot: but after taking a closer look, I found that it is an ejected pilot only... pity .

Please consider this which will make the VR experience better. When it comes to hand tracking, I have tested extensively now with different options and settings and third-party devices like HTCC, and finger mouses etc. The best experience so far is having hand tracking turned on and visible with the DCS software settings. in order to get the hand to interact with the buttons etc as you know you must turn off pointers in the hand option. this works really great and i want to thank your team for this. however while button presses are great, the unfortunate truth is knob turns or flipping switches up/down are really difficult and make the hand tracking experience really hard and diminishes from its overall use. Now What i found to works really well is the mouse clicks to toggle switches and rotate dials. note this is only for knobs and dials. unfortunately this cannot not be done when you have the hands visible since the hands take over the movement. In-addition what is really great is that you can map mouse controls to buttons. So here is what i am suggesting your team look into to really make this "hand tracking" great. Allow us to use mouse clicks and scroll while like it does in mouse mode while the hands are visible. it very clear that DCs knows what control you are touching, so just let the mouse control buttons superseded the hand movement as a option. Here is a practical way this would be used. First i would bind my mouse buttons to my hotas, or i would use a finger mouse, pointCTRL or slugmouse. Now all i do is enable hand tracking and when i move and press buttons with no mouse click it functions as it does now. However if i go and touch a switch or a dial, since it so hard to key those to work properly, i can now simply use the finger mouse to click, or scroll dial, or hotas key binding and now i can quickly move around to controls and activate them. Note, seeing the hands in the hand tracking helps you quickly navigate to the controls faster and easier and feels more real. PointCTRL and Slugmouse or HTCC hides the hands and you have to find the mouse. Also if you move your head the mouse pointer gets offset and you lose your place again. works but not ideal. while you can turn the pointer on for hand tacking, first the pointer is not lined up with the fingers so its offset and you have to watch the crosshairs and try and line it up over your control. this can be really tricky or take a bunch of time. again not ideal. you can turn off hand tracking and use the "look" feature but again you have no hands which give you the best immersive experience. and Second, getting the center of the screen crosshairs to look far down is really difficult unless you completely reposition your body. again from my Experience in testing al these methods, i found normal hand tracking with pointers off to be the best (minus the dials and switches). But if you could bind those to work of over ride the hand movement when performed for these...well that would really make this a unique and exciting experience. even with a pointCTRL or slugmouse or finger mouse, all you would need to do is touch the control and click the mouse, or scroll the wheel Please consider this as both functions already exist in the core, hopefully it should just be allowing one to work while the other is active. thank you for your consideration.

Well <profanity>, the more you know, found the patch notes from 2022 and you're right. Must have just been placebo or a coincidence whenever I've flipped MLC to OUT while supporting sparrows.

There is not. There was a very specific patch note about this a while back. The AWG-9 will transition to using a range gate and/or speed gate when STT'ed. Apr 8 2022

Hello. The bomb model is "mated" with the fuel tank.

There is definitely an MLC filter when STT'd, the only way to not have one is to be in a look-up scenario or get the RIO to turn it off.

You can go as small as 1028x768, you just have to manually input it. It's what I use.

Hello. Destroyed Yak-28 - no texture. null

Ir guided missiles, specially 60s and 70s have a LOT of flare tolerance, they work just too good to be comparable at their real life performance, reading like the first wikipedia article i found it says the aim9b, d, e, g and j variants combined had a 18% chance of kill in the vietnam war, in the game they work way better and have a lot of resistance of flares, When im playing 60s servers and someone launch a missile at me, i cut burners, try to manouver mantaining a good speed and good G’s, sometimes even pre flaring, and the missile just doesnt care and gets me, im supose this is not meant to occur with like a 1st gen missile that has a caged seeker and poop flare resistance I think its about time this game implements irccm mechanics and a complete overhaul of the ir guided missiles, even war thunder that is not a sim game have this implemented, this would add a bit more of realism to the game

Good to know, thanks! The replacement mission is ready

It worked. I don't know why I had the most trouble with mission 12. I managed to get the takeoff. I found a way. The Volk-2 took off on its own and flew straight to the area where Raven was. It hovered nearby and refused to interact. Only the last time did it work. Well, except that it took off on its own again, but this time it joined me and didn't cause any further problems. As I wrote earlier, aside from minor AI issues, I really enjoyed the entire campaign. The concept, the variety of tasks, the dialogue, and the overall atmosphere were excellent. There was never a moment of boredom. The mission length is perfect for me. I'm looking forward to the next installment of Major Ivanovich's adventures.

Aapparently it is ok to have a 'skip BIT test' button for the Apache FCR, but not for the ATP BIT on the Viper

Could we maybe get the ability to manually connect to a catapult back to work around this vexing problem???!!! OR request which cat we will be directed to?

With scripts like CTLD + CSAR, you can enable the Apache to transport infantry. Keeping the number of individuals loaded to 2, it can be realistic too

Any suggestions of things to add?

Permanent canopy reflection on right side regardless of lighting level, angle or direction. Canopy reflections turned off in special options, appears on both transparent and tinted canopy. Images and track file attached. This is a big issue if trying to spot an opponent. F-16 Canopy artifact.trk

My initial findings are kind of mixed. I'm not seeing much difference, if any, at all. But, just initial. I'll keep testing.

I’m at 2400 RPM starting like 10 miles out from landing, all the way down to the ground. Set it at 2400 and leave it. 2300? 2500? Doesn’t matter. Pick one you like, set it for landing and don’t touch it. Come into the pattern at 120 kts. After your upwind to downwind break, go full flaps, gear down, and 10 deg of elev trim as I mentioned before. SLOWLY adjust the throttle so that your climb rate is steady at zero. Do not use elevator to adjust your altitude. This is important. If you aren’t hands free by the time you are abeam the landing point. It’s going to get ugly for base and final, so just extend your downwind during these practice runs and make sure you are stable before coming around. You want to be able to arc to the runway to see over the nose, so the extended downwinds will hurt you, but don’t worry about that for your training. Getting the plane stable for landing is more important. With the 10 deg of elev trim, you’ll find yourself right at 90-100 knots. Again, don’t touch the elevator, only the throttle. You mentioned your airspeed is all over the place before touchdown. This is because you are using your elevator stick to try and keep yourself on desired glide slope. Just remember basic slow flight rules: “Pitch for airspeed, throttle for altitude.” Once you get this in your veins, you won’t even look at your manifold, that’s why I haven’t answered that question until now. Just keep the throttle where needed to maintain altitude on the upwind/downwind, and then play with it very gently in base to final turn. Again, your plane almost automatically holds 90-100 knots with 10 deg of trim, so you don’t even have to look at your instruments. Keep eyes on runway and other traffic in pattern. Just be cognizant that if you touch the elevator stick, your airspeed will change. In your head think, “Stick centered, I know I’m at the right speed. Pulled stick back, I know I’m too slow.” You hardly have to look at your airspeed or manifold once you get it. Now for your nose swinging all over the place: Everything in your landing needs to be smooth. Really smooth. Very small changes to pitch or throttle. You can’t just jam things around like in jets. And here’s the tip that will help you the most: Your right foot must follow your left arm. Push right rudder any time you push throttle forward, and vice versa. This also applies in flight, not just for landings. Practice practice practice. Let me know how it goes. I know you’ve got this! Cheers

Ain’t seen it yet

Final Update, I managed to find a genuine replacement HP G2 V2 headset cable from an online store in Australia. So probably only good for Australians but price was good, $143.00 AUD plus postage. Here's the site if it helps anyone else - https://store.emprgroup.com.au/p-573385-m52188-001.aspx Arrived in 3 days and all up and running again. Thansk for your comments/advice etc

"stuttering" can mean too many variables, would just try testing and hope u get whats causing this fixed. i got stutters and the game felt unplayable w/ a i9 5090 ddr5. randomly tried "unparking cores" and instantly all stuttering was gone. i believe this was only a intel issue, when this came about, im not sure. i personally leave all pc settings stock, pagefile let windows manage it and just keep hardware firmware updated, bios etc.

...ever thrown a hand grenade IRL?

It's the second best choice purely for gaming (the 9800X3D being the best). It's weak relative to the price for multithreaded productivity software, if you use that.

Here's my best attempt so far: WIP - Red nose MiG-15 bis Korean war TEST Red Nose 1.rar BORT numbers by miklos --- --- --- Vanilla North Korean roundels TEST Red Nose 2.rar Is this colour okay for the aluminium fuselage?
