Hello everyone, I’m currently building the DCS Combat Academy, a structured program inspired by real-world cadet training. The idea is to take students from the very first steps in a Yak-52 all the way through jet transition and tactical operations, combining ground school, emergency procedures, and fun/tactical missions within DCS. To help shape the academy and understand the community’s interest, I’ve set up a short waitlist form. Filling it out will give me a clearer idea of what people are looking for, and you’ll also get updates as the project develops. Join the Waitlist Your input will directly influence how the academy is structured. Thanks in advance to anyone who takes a couple of minutes to complete it. Blue skies, Chango

Sta low and come up behind him or from his 9 '0 clock where his radar can't see you?

Interesting! I just watched a video about Beyond ATC, but it’s not entirely clear to me how they handle it technically. The underlying logic is probably still scripted. Placing an LLM between DCS logic and the text output could, however, add some useful functionality. Not strictly necessary for ATC, but for communicating with an AI backseater/RIO/Wizzo it could make a big difference. Yes, I’ve considered the economic hurdles, but please note: the STT/TTS components are open-source, proven, and reliable. ED would mainly need to build a robust scripted system that covers as many situations as possible. That’s busy work, but not rocket science. After that, they could develop a stable API that optionally connects to either a locally hosted or a cloud-based LLM. The LLM part would remain optional. Players or server owners could do one of the following: run a model themselves (a modern 16-core CPU with 64 GB RAM can already handle a fast LLM alongside DCS) connect the API to a paid cloud-hosted service simply skip the LLM entirely and still enjoy high-quality, low-latency voice communications with AI in DCS through the scripted system

A very strange problem. If you start the MiG in Cool and Dark mode and change the switch to Waypoint, it will always (on its own!) return to the airdrome as soon as you start to move. It also resets the RSBN channels, even though you set them before the flight. I tested on the Caucasus map and Germany, C&D, the same thing, so it seems to be a bigger issue. During this reset, the DCS also freezes briefly (microstutter), every now and then. A bit annoying. test3.trk

Может уже было, но при захвате врага РЛС кольцо захвата на ИЛС так и должно отсутствовать? Просто при переключении на ВПУ оно переходит на цель. Это особенность или будут дорабатывать?

Have you got the vpc link tool doing conflicting stuff? I only ever used that for the leds

Yeah, same for me. Also, could not find anything in the manual either ... Looks like gun CAN be used with the ventral tank. EDIT: Wait, is the small " later fixed in 9.12a jets" tag means that the cannon can be used in our varsion ( as it's like not the first version ? )

Remember none of these things fly any more, so I'll be happy with an aircraft, "That looks right, flies well." Anything after that is a bonus (IMHO). Hat's off for even trying. When it's ready, it's ready and don't frazzle yourself getting there.

Did you read the post above your? [emoji848] You can basically use any, even opened sourced which won't store any of your personal info. [emoji6] Cheers! Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk

Great idea but just realize these things in other sims are paid subscriptions and have probably 10x the player base DCS has. Plus they only do ATC and not all the combat comms this game has. I can’t imagine ED would have the resources to do this.

I'll try to reproduce. If I can, I'll send a track. Backstory: I was connected to a friend's server, and he did have the NS430 enabled in the mission. I can say that when the NS430 is not enabled in MP, the bracket and NS430 are removed. I dunno if that helps. Thanks! -Ryan

You can use any other 2FA app ex. Microsoft Authenticator.

The questions that arise are solely the following: 1. Do the displays in the HUD actually work differently? If so: 2. Why should there be a different mode of operation depending on the orientation (vertical or horizontal)? I would like to have these questions answered, because these are the questions that are really important! What is the logic behind the RADAR alignment indicator being displayed in horizontal alignment with the nose of the aircraft, while the vertical alignment is displayed level with the altitude? What could be the reason for this? If the RADAR antenna indicator is actually supposed to show the alignment of the antenna with the object, the current vertical display would of course be incorrect. It doesn't make sense for that reason alone, as the pilot needs to be able to see when the RADAR will lose contact due to the angle to the object. This is currently not possible vertically. So what is the purpose of this cursor? If the answer is: “To be able to recognize in time when the tracked object will leave the maximum gimbal range!”, then the current display in the vertical range is >>incorrect<<! To recognize this, all it takes is simple logic, and nothing else!

Apologize, I was in the wrong section of the forum.

Do we need to add a new entry for the new full fidelity Mig-29?

It'd all be cool but we don't even have currently proper VR support for CA.

Put this please into the bug section . That’s clearly a bug

Love that probe - and livery. Dad was flying these in the 80s. I hope we get a functioning probe at some point, knowing the USAF version was boom capable instead.

I really hope the first part of your post is where we're going! To my knowledge BeyondATC runs locally, and is pretty much a "free flow", though you can't crack jokes with it. Cheers!

He never mentioned "balance", he specifically wrote consistency, and in this context it means that it should be on the same level of "reality" across all the modules. You are of course correct about the documentation. Cheers! Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk

I do not want to use any Google app. I do not trust them to keep my phone number private. They routinely collect and sell personal data so their 2FA app can get stuffed. Please give us an alternative.

This plane just can't climb, can't turn, can't do anything. Its engine is so weak so it can't even dogfight a tiny plane. It's just opposite to the one in the real world. I stopped flying this thing until something changes.

I think I tracked down the issue and the reason is stick curves setting. I had them around 8-15. With curves set to 0 on both axes damper passes the test every time. Which is bad, because I want to use them, now I need to reset everytime.

I tried and with the tank suspended I can use the cannon normally. Should it be automatically blocked or does the pilot just have to be careful and not use it? Can you please direct me to the page number of the manual? Thank you
