With the MP needle spastically bouncing around up to 5" on the gauage how do we know precisely where we need WEP?

Run a Trace Route to cdn.digitalcombatsimulator.com and post it. We can see where it stalls.

On my machine it takes about 60 seconds to start. Try clearing out your shader cache in Saved Games\DCS\fxo and \metashaders2. That first run after clearing your shader will take a little longer but it should be good after that. Let me know if it's still a problem.

So how does this work with the master switch now? Especially considering the Corsair didn't HAVE a master switch and it was all done through throttle position.

Happenes in the hind too. Obviously was designed with the CH-47 in mind with no tail. EZ fix would be make thme start spawning a bit farther back https://discord.com/channels/542985647502393346/1405286484331728997 cross post to a discord thread

Would like to fly this but I get error message need modules Highdigitsams.

We've used the GBU-28 this year as far as I know it worked fine...but I'll check.

Thanks Midway for the reply. Will see if that works. Cheers! Rudel, this is DCS right after an update. Enough said…IYKYK…I’ve been flying this sim for a long time!

Did you ever get any further with lining this up?

hi, does anyone know how to customize or change the ICP button presses. when in VR i cannot hear when i press the buttons with VR hands on. So i would like to create a beep or different tone. i've looked at some of the mods, and can't figure out how or where. any ideas?

AUTO will prioritize keeping the L&S in radar coverage at all times, but will in fact actively work to keep as many track files in the radar as possible with the help of MSI tracks. So 'keeping it centred' is a bit of a mischaracterization. Attached image has the L&S on the far left while AUTO is engaged, keeping as many things in the box as it can (basically all but one)

See this thread: As for cargo loading/unloading, the Chinook already offers to do that, so it stands to reason that ASC doesn't need to reinvent the entire wheel.

Cool tutorial! So, from what I could gather, you used the AI pilot. Did you start as door gunner and the AI did all the flight? I'll see what I can come up with.

They won't function as intended as their code is for AI use. It is far away from ideal.

No taxing improvement after today's update. The Spitfire, the Mustang, the P-47, and even the Mosquito all taxi fine but cannot keep the Corsair under control, especially on an airfield with a crosswind component. On the carrier deck with 30 knots of relative wind there's no problem making small adjustments for a straight launch but on a land airfield it's almost impossible to maneuver like the above mentioned aircraft.

Take Flight Event: Operation Holy **** It's Finally Happening Come fly with us during our next event "Operation Holy **** It's Finally Happening" this Sunday August 17th at 20:30 UTC / 16:30 EST Quick Synopsis Below. More Details and sign-ups are on the Take Flight Discord. https://discord.gg/takeflightdcs Please note that this group is led by a group of flight enthusiasts, and none of us claim to be experts! null Overview: As tensions rise, BLUEFOR reconnaissance have identified an unusual uptick in activity in Beslan Airbase. Recent satellite imagery and intercepted ground chatter confirm the presence of 3 An-26B transports and 4 MiG-23ML interceptors, all parked and prepped for deployment. These aircraft are suspected to be part of a rapid logistical push aimed at reinforcing OPFOR forces. In response to this, a deep strike mission has been authorised on the 21st of June 1983 with the goal of crippling OPFOR capability for rapid deployment in the region by eliminating these assets on the ground, and rendering Beslan Airfield temporarily inoperable. The hope is to send a clear, and controlled signal to OPFOR forces, advising them that we are aware of their movement, and to cease war escalation efforts.

WEP is working. See the engine stop post for details.

@BIGNEWY Any chance we will see a first person capable load master similar to what ASC has done with the C-130J? So we can walk around inside/outside of the CH-47?

Oh... the video... (I did not see it yet), thanks for mentioning it....

Boys i finally made a script that will automatically update ALL typenames in my "Scripting library" https://github.com/Tobias00723/DCS-Scripting-Library-Updated or if your rather have a file with all the DATA feel free to download the attachment including "EmmyLua" Autocompletion Thanks to DCS Datamine github https://github.com/Quaggles/dcs-lua-datamine for giving me the basis to do this File for version : "2.9.19.13478" enjoy!! TGFB_Typenames.lua

@BIGNEWY Were you gents able to fix the cursor not working in the super carrier in VR from the Air Boss station?

Perhaps its engine knock from to high of MP without the water injection? I'm hearing a knocking sound now if I don't have the master WEP button on and am into the MP pressures where its needed. Working just like the P47 for me. Edit: Just tested. Confirmed that engine knock from excessive MP WITHOUT WEP will cause engine seizures. Edit 2: With WEP engaged, you can still exceed WEP MP pressures and knock the engine into a seizure. Follow the manual...or listen for the knock. The sound is pretty handy and nicely done.
