Thank you!

I don't have the Germany map. But I have the Afghanistan map. I fly mostly the F-16. I got the Apache too, but... never really tried it out My problem now is that my headset is at my cabin, far from where I live. I brought it there along with my PC to test and fly a little during our summer vacation. Norwegian summer = usually lots of rain and <profanity>ty weather. Then I went home here where we live, about two weeks ago, only for a weekend (that was the plan) before I was supposed to return to the cabin - but for several reasons I can not go back to our cabin yet... so. Here I am. Home. Where I have my F-16 "cockpit" and most of my flying gear. But no Crystal Super headset Hopefully I will get a chance to go pick it up later this week. I have read that the Germany map is more demanding, so perhaps stable over 72 fps over Berlin won't be possible. Don't know. The maps I have tested are Kola, Syria, Caucasus, Afghanistan. I have not installed latest DCS update. And I am on an earlier version of Pimax Play, and I don't have the latest Crystal Super firmware either. Since everything worked so well for me I was hesitant to do any Pimax upgrades... Now I have to wait anyway until I get my headset back here.

Yes it’s awesome

That was allegedly fixed according to the 2.9.19.13478 changelog: However, HARMs will also hit destroyed emitters with perfect accuracy. The attached .trk an Tacview show an HTS-targeted PGM5 POS PB shot at an active P-19 followed by a second POS RUK shot. The second shot was fired shortly before the P19 was destroyed. However, it will still home on the dead P19: Tacview-20250901-193008-DCS.zip.acmiHARM_HTS_POS_hits_dead_P19.trk Same applies for an initial HAS POS shot followed by three HAS shots. All follow-up shots will home on the destroyed P19: Tacview-20250901-194932-DCS.zip.acmiHARM_HAS_hits_dead_P19.trk

Thanks for the help, SD Quick update although it may not last…. I updated my BIOS and since I can’t run all 4 sticks with XMP enabled and at its rated 6400Mhz, I backed off the memory speed from 5600 CL36 to 5400 CL36 and locked in my voltage to under 1.3, watts at 307 Still running my 14900k at 5.5Ghz tested it twice and both times I was able to reach the desktop on safe mode to make my changes. If this changes or “breaks” I’ll report back. conclusion: it appears memory timings and memory settings may affect windows ability to boot into safe mode but it’s just a guess. So far all things point to BIOS update since changes in the older BIOS wasn’t helping but we will see. So far so good

LOC28 at Bardufoss is offset 2.1° to the north, and the LOC is located to the south of the runway (as opposed to the usual location, along the extender centerline, ~300m beyond the threshold of the reciprocal rwy), so you will definitely get some unusual indications on your CDI when on the ground. https://aim-prod.avinor.no/no/AIP/View/Index/141/2025-06-12-AIRAC/html/eAIP/EN-AD-2.ENDU-en-GB.html#AD-2.ENDU

ah, ok…. missed that no idea

+ 3 months and a week to be exact

Quick update: BIOS, Nvidia and Intel Arc update hit me last week so I just updated *everything* and tested again with hyperthread support enabled. Double clicked the regular BIN executable (not the MT executable) From desk top to DCS main menu with HT enabled - 2:03, as in two minutes, three seconds From desk top to DCS main menu with HT DISabled - :43, as in forty three seconds This isn’t a user issue. I hope ED looks into this because it looks like hyperthread support is broken in DCS. For better transparency I did notice that the max CPU temp to bring up the DCS main menu was 73 with HT enabled and 58.5 with it disabled. Seems par for the course. - Confirmed all cores UNparked.

Except he was talking about using a mod manager and that the files would be overwritten each time DCS updated?

@Calvin.Pimax Ive been doing what I can to get pimaxplay 1.41.2 to run DCS with quadviews. I have multiple issues with DCS crashing that appear related to quadviews. Im using only quadviews within PP. I have uninstalled the openrx items. 1) without quadviews I get a pretty soil 35fps and DCS seems crash free. (im using syria instant action f14 takeoff from turkey the night one as a test) 2) with quadviews I get a pretty solid 35 fps or 60fps or 85 fps it just depends on how it feels during that launch I guess I cant find anything related to this not even resolution / global settings vs game settings. More resolution I get maybe 85 fps then i dial it back and I get 35 fps 2) with quadviews running like crap (35 fps) and settings low say 70% render resolution dcs wont crash or wont crash quickly. 3) with quadviews running great like 80-90 fps at 100 or 150% render resolution It usually crashes in a minute to 10 minutes or on final load screen just before you click "fly" or whatever with the background and cockpit visible behind that window. there is no consistency or obvious pattern to which outcome im going to get. Is there anything I can submit or provide you that could help isolate this issue?

Dynamic weather has been mostly untouched since DCS 1. It does not even support the "new" clouds from 2021.

Ahhh...Gotcha!

As a prior Master Gunner looking at these ranges and using some common sense you can tell these are pretty fubar. I'm not going to give away information, but I would love to know where this "correct as is" information came from. The M60A3 outranging everything by over 1nm..(Greatest MBT of all time confirmed?) Hate to be the bearer of bad news but those NATO MBTs 120mm are smacking those big scary T series all day long while the challenger 2 continues to touch them at 2.8+nm. Someone must have forgot that the Challenger has the world record of a 2.75nm tank kill on a T-55 sooo there's that. I placed each unit in the same exact spot, used the ruler to measure from the center of the vehicle to it's engagement range. It's pretty lame when making missions and the units can't engage because they're ranges are wrong.

Thanks, yeah I don't have a ton of perspective here since I'm new and this is only my second campaign. I didn't realize you could re-arm in campaigns (the other one I played, Inherent Resolve, constantly tells you DO NOT CHANGE LOADOUT but I guess that isn't a general thing). I can partially fix this on my end then by packing AIM-120s.

i have an alienware r12 which has an older mobo than your system. it is ddr4 with 4 sticks of 32. when i purchased it in april 2021 the system propaganda stated it would run at 3400. when i did the initial setup, the speed was show 2800. i called dell and they had me update the bios, and then i was able to get XMP1 enabled to get the 3400. maybe update of your bios will allow you to enable XMP.

Hey Pluton I am using the Quest 3S 128 GB. The memory in the Quest is for internal storage (if you want to use the headset for gaming etc without the PC). For DCS the Quest 3 storage is not being used (since DCS use your PC hardware and storage, the client is on your PC) Hand-tracking sounds very fun, I have not tried it yet . Though that stick-shaker you have sounds even better, perfect fit for the Phantom( it loves to shake its butt when attempting to land).

Should be Available soon. Edit : https://github.com/landre-cerp/McduDcsBiosBridge/releases/tag/1.1-beta Any feedback / bug report welcome ( please use Issue on github ) I plan to allow Switching ( or choosing at startup ) between Pilot and Copilot , and to have BOTH ! if you own 2 ww cdus ( a PFP7 and a MCDU for example )

Hi everybody! I am looking for information on the general structure of the military air traffic control structure in both the FRG and GDR around the 1980s. What am I looking for specifically? Anything which can provide specific information about agencies, their locations, frequencies used, their area of responsibility, etc. Of high interest to me personally are: What are the stations a training flight in peace time would be flowing through when they take off at their home base to fly to a range or training air space in the FRG? If anyone could help me out by shedding some light on this topic for me, please reach out! Thanks and best regards, Rohrkrepierer o7 Edit: https://www.atc-ansa.org/english/publications-books-archive?pk_vid=991edeafc5d1919b1756746863222bfc Here you can find a series of great books by Frank W. Fischer on the topic.

I think you aren’t supposed to replace the original files, but put the mod in the savegames folder (subfolder for mod/…/ cockpit)

The US never used APKWS on the KW. We had L2MUM when I deployed in 2012. We picked up the birds in country and we were the 3rd unit to get them, so L2MUM had been on the aircraft since probably 2009 or 2010. No, using L2MUM and APKWS in the 1990s would not be reasonable.

I've not officially announced it yet, but takes this as the official statement of intent...I'm deep into research for an Iraqi Freedom F16 campaign. Would expect to start work on it next summer when I've completed my A10 Afghan campaign.

Hey @omnijinx The missiles in mission 8 are definitely Aim-9Ps. You are correct with the missiles in Mission 6 from the F4s , which I noticed you beat, thanks for the Tacview. So Mission 8 should be a much easier task. You can actually change the load outs if you want but they were selected to make the air fight a reasonable challenge. They also promote more close up dog fights which can be more interesting. Generally my Campaigns are thought of as much easier than many of the campaigns. As a designer it is a difficult balance to strike as some will find it hard and others easier dependant on how experienced the pilot is. The missions are normally about 1 hour long which is much shorter than a lot of the other campaigns, which can be twice that.

Hi Gorbys I am using a 5 GHz Wi-Fi at home. But I have connected from my router to my PC with a Cat-6 network cable (Ethernet). Cat-6 supports up to 10Gb/s internet traffic. So I transfer 10 Gb/s direct from my Wifi-router via cable straight into my PC. So I only use the wireless WiFi between my PC and my VR-headset. I strongly recommend you buying atleast a Cat-6 cable, it only cost like 40 dollars and made a big difference for me. The more cable you have between internet and your VR-heaset the better. But if you buy a cable to the headset it must be a high data transfer cable aswell (in my case it was not needed).
