Thank you very much, I am fully aware that tracking with Lighthouse is a completely different matter. Unfortunately, the faceplate is not yet available for the Super, but yes, I will definitely buy it, as with the entire cockpit setup on the platform, there is always a risk of restrictions in head tracking. Incidentally, the new version of Pimax Play seems to improve room tracking, but I did experience some strange lags while flying, which caused movements to be delayed briefly, which was very unpleasant. I'll look into this further and try rolling back to the old Pimax Play version when I have a little more time to see if that's the only reason.

The current pod of the Viper is a mix between Litening and LANTIRN, as the Litening doesn't have TV and LST iirc. However, the pod has more issues, like having bushes appearing brighter than trucks at some time of the day. Sometimes, IR has wild textures. And it has a tendency to lock street lights instead of trucks or tanks. It is what it is, and I understand not wanting to change it as of now, as the ATP is around the corner and the Litening pod will be reworked to more closely represent the Litening pod. And I think that that's the way to go.

Really? A quick search on YT threw a bunch of hits. It seems to be praised a lot. Watched a direct comparison a while back, that also tested it in DCS, while unfortunately most other reviews have racing in focus obviously. Price has dropped from ≠USD350 to ≠USD220 here in Norway now. So I guess I'm getting one. The name escapes me, but I think there's another software that works with it in DCS too, while it's not free. Cheers!

Link updated for the above.

Only if you look up the definition of apparent: https://www.dictionary.com/browse/apparent I chose this phrasing on purpose since it covers the publicly known evidence and is not a falsehood if there is secret evidence. Furthermore, my statement is a statement of opinion, not of fact, and opinions are not subject to defamation law. You fail to understand the difference between evidence and fact. Evidence is generally open to interpretation, and facts are derived from evidence, but the evidence itself is not necessarily fact. Furthermore, I have been very careful to not claim that the evidence is undoctored, usually by adding the word 'alleged', but my opinion is that it is unlikely that this evidence is doctored, given the immense risks to the leaking party if they would doctor evidence, and because the contents of the various leaked documents and conversations lack certain red flags that I would expect in falsified documents. What is a lot more likely, is that the material that was leaked was not chosen to give the best understanding of the situation, but to frame things in the best way for a certain party. But of course we can't know what the contents is of conversations and documents that were not leaked for this reason.

can confirm optiscaler wasn't the problem; I even edited the settings file and set LOD to 4 and saw an improvement; I guess LOD bug is just a common unrelated issue

The topic is therefore closed.

This is simply not true. For example, if I enter into a contract to buy a product, and the seller decides that they don't want to sell it to me for that price (for example, because the price at the wholesaler went up), then legally, I can still demand that they supply the product for that price. The seller cannot simply refund me my money, voiding the contract. There are also situations where the situation cannot even be undone. For instance, if I eat at a restaurant, and then refuse to pay afterwards, the contract can not be undone, because the food is in my stomach and cannot be turned back into fresh ingredients, and the labor of the staff cannot be undone either. And these are just some examples of how you are wrong. Now, I do admire your brazenness, being so confident at making totally wrong statements, but it is exactly this kind of 'you need to believe these total falsehoods because Ron is a bad person who wronged me in the past' reasoning that I object to. Contract law in the EU already doesn't work as you think it does. And neither does Swiss law: https://www.fedlex.admin.ch/eli/cc/27/317_321_377/en > A contract is void if its terms are impossible, unlawful or immoral. > However, where the defect pertains only to certain terms of a contract, those terms alone are void unless there is cause to assume that the contract would not have been concluded without them. And more information about the limited circumstances in which a contract becomes void under Swiss law: https://www.vischer.com/en/knowledge/blog/the-essentials-of-swiss-contract-law-rescission-of-contracts-no-9-40193-1-2/ What hopium? I'm not hoping for anything. Why do you guys keep making these silly statements about me that make no sense at all? And again, Ron's past antics are not actually evidence that Ron did certain things in this case. At most they can be evidence that certain things are in character for him. However, I haven't actually seen anyone say that Ron did anything in the past that is similar to what he is accused of now, so ultimately it all seems to boil down to you thinking that Ron is a bad person, and thus believing anything negative about him, regardless of there being a lack of evidence. I constantly keep that in mind and interpret his statements, and the leaks, with the understanding that he would of course frame things to his benefit. Just like ED does. So this is another example of you making false statements. Don't you get tired of writing things that are wrong? What facts? Spell them out, because I constantly see people making all kinds of vague allegations at me, but then they never actually deliver on providing those facts, because they don't exist.

Sorry to disappoint, I'm more into RedHat.

That is an utterly absurd statement to make. ED reacted to what they claim was an infringement of their intellectual property rights. Any business who's sole source of income is dependent on proprietary intellectual property has to defend against infringement vigorously, or risk losing their entire business. Razbam will have signed a contract specifying the limits to what they are permitted to do with regard to ED's intellectual property. If Razbam has breached that core contractual clause (and there seems to be reasonable grounds to think they did, with regard to the Super Tucano they allegedly made for the EAF), it doesn't matter in the slightest whether it is supposedly 'MCS' or 'DCS' related. A breach of contract is a breach of contract. One that, if ED's version of events is true, could have lost them substantial sums of money, and if not acted on could result in even more of the same.

No one is forcing you to engage with me, so if you can't cope with someone calling out your nonsense, you can just ignore my posts. You aren't adding anything useful to the conversation anyway.

Thank you to point me to the manual. I did not realised we have on already for the corsair. What i read in the manual is "NOTE 1: As there is no correlation between the frequency range on the C-26 remote, the manual frequencies are set automatically at mission launch. Each airfield on the map will have a specific frequency. The frequencies are distributed in equal increments over the frequency range of the C-26 remote. The lowest frequency is always allocated to the aircraft carrier, if available. This is a convention specific to the simulator. So is s bit useless if you have several ships because they all take all frequencies. Even the enemy ships are emiting (is there anywasy to stop a ship from emiting?) If i want to use presets In Marianas WW2 I could not find specific radio freq for the different bases in the document (as the example in the manual which uses Caucasus map) I was trying to find them manually. Now I realised my mistake. I will try again with the presets, using 1 Khz increments and see if can find them. However, the presets do not work in multiplayer so tuning the manual radio to find where are we going is our only option.

Yes, you can not manually enter a resolution in the DCS Launcher, start the game and use the settings menu.

One of the complicating factors is that people have different reference points. If pieces of crap like the X-55 are your reference point, then it's not that hard to be impressed. Ultimately, Winwing's hardware quality is decent for the most part, aside from the Ursa Minor issues. You better hope that you don't have a defect or billing issue though, because their customer support is horrid.

Se hai un budger molto risicato e non disdegni l'usato io ho i miei vecchi TFRP in cantina. Funzionano: li ho sostituiti a natale proprio con i logitech perche' questi sono piu' pratici per l'uso con l'apache.

It sounds dangerous , and it should be mentioned that the current AI MiG-21 flies like crazy.

Ciao ragazzi devo dire che è un periodaccio per le mie pedaliere Da poco ho scoperto che l’acceleratore del volante di mia figlia un TM 150 non nunziona più non arrivando mai a fine corsa ballando continuamente.. Ma soprattutto la mia modesta pedaliera per DCS (una Thrustmaster TFRP T. Flight Rudder Pedals) ha smesso di funzionare, i due pedali frenano perfettamente ma non gira più inoltre ho degli impulsi spuri di imbardata se tocco lo stick della manetta a cui è collegato. Mi piacerebbe prendere la nuova pedaliera presentata da Wingwing ma è sempre in prordine e avendo anche un altro acquisto imprevisto in programma non ho un grosso budget e pensavo di prendere la Logitech G Saitek Pro Flight Rudder. Che ne pensate sicuramente non è il top ma per il mio budget e soprattutto visto quello che avevo prima potrebbe essere un acquisto sensato? Attendo consigli CIAO

What token scope did you use? I cant work it out.

Except that it was ED's choice to stop payment for DCS products over a conflict on the MCS side of things. That was ED's choice, at the expense of DCS players. And Razbam did deliver a product in return for those earnings, but it is not surprising that they need more money to keep adding features. So you expect Razbam to work for free? Do you think this is reasonable? If so, please become my personal assistant. I won't pay you for it, of course, but I assume that you are happy to work for free, since that is what you consider reasonable for others.

Unless I've already invested heavily into modules, and have been a loyal DCS customer for more than 10 years. I want DCS to survive much longer, and it pains me to see DCS moving in that direction. I purchased the YAK when it came out in EA, and it's still not done today. That hurts, and it hurts ED's reputation, which is IMHO worse. Writing off the Hawk, Mudhen, Farmer, Harrier and Mig hurts. The question is: what am I learning from this? And I was looking at the 'what if' thought experiment of only purchasing non-EA modules produced by ED only. That was IMHO not a pretty sight, and IMHO shows what it would mean if ED's EA and Third Party policies deteriorate further. We could argue about the methodology, sure, but that's 'angels on the head of a pin'. ED's EA policies seem to try and misuse the Early Access term simply as a meaningless marketing gimmick: to make potential customers believe a module is 'new' when it's in fact many years old and no longer in active development - Yak, Viggen, Jeff etc. - something that I deem a bit unsavoury if not seedy. "EA" in DCS is to me a meaningless term. "Active Development" would be a more relevant term, and of those there are only a few modules in the catalogue. Receiving the odd maintenance update in my book does not qualify 'active development'. That's just 'on life support' so it can still run with the current version of DCS. My apologies for being obscure. The relative module age was part of the 'what if' thought experiment, underlining the extreme dependence of ED's business model on new EA one-off sales and no sustained income otherwise. If a module remains in "EA" for too long with no discernible development, the "EA" moniker loses meaning, and may serve to alienate customers. With regards to DCS's core, it has slowly evolved, and since parts of it harken back to pre-2000 time, it's legacy and creakingly-old old core is apparent to me every time when I create a mission, every time I use at the Mission API. And the underlying core is ancient: it caps at 65535 object allocations - that's a 16 bit integer from 1990, a relic from libraries used at that time. Garbage collection is similarly old and dysfunctional, the reason why a dedicated DCS server (of which I run two) needs daily reboots. So, yes, DCS core is very, very old and in dire need of update. I've been with DCS for more than a decade, and around the block once or twice, just like you. I'm happy it still runs, and I'm hoping that ED manage to keep it together for much longer.

I had a case where after landing on the carrier, I accidentally retracted the gear instead of the hook (I hit the wrong switch on my hardware). Engine was running so it bent the props. I did a repair, and the aircraft was set down with left main gear partially retracted. Tried a repair again and same thing. Then I figured out if I pump the hydraulic hand pump several times, it extends the partially retracted gear and I'm good to go...hydraulic pressure had been zero.

Hi Folks, Just got a new PC and am fresh downloading everything from scratch. Searched the internet, but can't find a definitive solution to stop Steam VR from launching when I want to run DCS without VR. This did not happen with my old rig, but something seems to have changed. This is driving me crazy, lol. What I am missing? Any hints/tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Happy landings, Talisman

Tell me how you really feel...Why do you say that, just out of curiosity?
