That assumes it was clearly marked as being the wrong gas, as opposed to a product with the exact same label as before being sneakily changed to a much lower quality version, with the right stuff no longer being available. As long as the label stays technically correct, this remains legal, though you would be right to ask questions about the sudden change. Though usually, your only recourse would be to get a journalist interested in the case so that the company gets publicly called out on their behavior. This could actually result in some internal documents leaking out to the press. At least in this example, you're free to switch to another vendor (usually only to find they're all pulling the same crap). Assuming Shell isn't the only station in your small town, of course. In ED's case, there's simply no other company doing what they do.

@Bungo first of all thanks for making the Melbourne - it tops out on the right-top edge of the scary/fun matrix. Particularily at night In recent months, there seems to be an issue with the "short stroke" version of the Melbourne when launching the Skyhawk. Not sure if that's a user end issue, but I can't get airborne with the A-4 without damaging the aircraft, as it tips over backwards during the launch, hitting the tail and busting up the nose wheel (!) and engine. I did use the "catapult automatic addjustment" (or whatever it's called) function on the A-4 side. The long-stroke variant doesn't have the issue, but it kinda kills the immersion.

Ну дык так и живем. У меня с десяток миссий "песочниц" от Мариан до Афганистана которые делаются и периодически доделываются на протяжений десятилетия по мере появления новых модулей, юнитов и механик в ДКС. Конечно, с появлением этого модуля расширяются аспекты игры, которых нет, но по-хорошему становятся сильно нужны. Навскидку, с этим модулем для бОльшего погружения нужны еще: Нормальный УВД (хотя бы как в БМС) Тут ничего сделать нельзя самому Навигационные базы с точками, трассами, SID / STAR Как в MSFS, но нам еще нужно чтобы они примерно соответствовали эпохе Можно заморочится самому при помощи инструментария на карте и нарыть схемы, но это работа на несколько дней. Не будет интеграции с бортами Лучшая проработанность радионавигационного оборудования на картах Что-то можно сделать самому, но не все Так что развлекаемся как можем. Не зря же у нас Digital Cockpit Simulator Если верить разрабочикам, ФМ там будет вполне на уровне. Они там особо замечали что в ДКС можно сделать очень хорошую ФМ, в отличие от стандартного МСФС.

What do the new filter settings (A, A+G, A+S) actually do?

Можно делать две вещи: 1) Просто играть и осваивать модуль. 2) Снабжать аэродромы в сетевой игре, пополняя ресурсы, которые тратятся на каждый вылет игрока. Вы никогда не играли по сети в том же Ил-2?

I agree, its been almost 4 years now since it was announced by HB, the announcement by TG was before that. It really does feel like its been backburnered somewhat over that time for whatever reason, no progress reports, nothing of any importance shown off really apart from it flying in promo DCS vids. Come on HB we want our EF!!!

так для транспортника как раз проще всего сделать миссию. Да! в иделе конечно желателен антураж и все такое. Но в любом случае это самый простой с т.з. понимания роли вариант. Лично у меня пока скептическое отношение. Не уверен что прикрутят сложную флайт модель . Подозреваю что это будет чистый процедурник, а-ля MFS. ну и честно говоря больше нравятся будильники. Стеклянные кабины - не особо. Если бы делало ЕД - купил бы не раздумывая. А тут пока посмотрю как пойдет.

Everyone who wants to use ILS needs to have that file modified. It won't prevent you from hosting anything, but it allows personal preference wheter one wants to have it or not.

Any chance of this livery making an appearance for PTO missions over marianas ww2?

This is actually a problem with how encoders work. Since they send individual presses and not continuous input, this results in weird behavior. The mouse wheel seems to have special handling on Windows level that means it doesn't have those problems, but encoders on the Orion 2 are seen by the input system as rapidly tapping a button. My recommendation is to bind those encoders to radio channel knobs, not to heading and course. Rotating a control that moves in steps is a far better use of them.

I have an example of the Germany map here. I used it because it's easy to reproduce. It's an urban area, but the error sometimes occurs in other areas as well. I've tried it several times, and the result was the same. I hope this can help.

Yes, I’m aware of the beacons.lua, but as far as I know, it doesn’t allow me to host a multiplayer server. It only gives me the option to set up offline scenarios the way I need them.

I try the nvidia app and the nvidia inspector too. On the display in game you can see that preset k is enabled. But ist freezes few seconds after entering a cockpit (tried F16 and F4e). Did you use some extra software for your VR headset or just the oculus one?

There should be a beacon.lua in the installation directory of the map (DCS/mods/terrain) where you can add any beacons you want. Also worth a shot searching first if someone already did such a mod.

I know this might be aiming a bit high, but as they say – it doesn’t hurt to ask. I’m currently building a larger mission for myself and my squadron. Since we’re focused on a very modern setting, I’m trying to make the mission feel as modern as possible. Unfortunately, during the GDR era, there was no ILS or TACAN in East Germany, which makes creating a realistic modern scenario a bit more challenging. Here’s my main issue: Laage is an important airbase for QRA flights, and it offers some amazing potential for immersive scenarios. But without ILS, landings in poor visibility are really hard to implement. And let’s be honest – aren’t those the coolest landings? The TACAN issue is easy to solve – you can add that directly in the Mission Editor. ILS, however, seems to be impossible to add – even via scripting, at least as far as I know. My idea would be to enable ILS at the East German airbases, even if it’s not 100% historically accurate. This would greatly expand the range of possible missions. I really can’t imagine anyone being bothered by this, but for a portion of the player base, it would be an absolute game-changer. Especially with the hopefully soon-to-be-released Eurofighter, having ILS at a key QRA base like Laage would be just perfect. Thanks so much for taking the time to read this! I’d really appreciate any feedback – especially if anyone knows of a way to script ILS into the game.

Самолет классный и уверен что реализация будет хорошая, но коллеги, что вы на нем делать будете в DCS? Прям вот грузы возить? Это же надо себе какую-то миссию делать, мир "оживить" вокруг хотя бы Я ни разу не осуждаю если что! Наоборот, больше разных типов в "мире" - однозначно плюс. Задумался, если я его прикуплю, я же не буду его катать совсем, так походить вокруг и в кабине только.

Had something similar happen while setting up how to get jenny mod sometimes it’s just a small file conflict that crashes things.

Tough times for GPUs at the moment. What @virgo47 said is on point. It is better to avoid using the VRAM tips for general games in DCS. It is not only resolution that will scale the usage of your VRAM. DCS has massive assets and textures, unlike the normal videogame that can run on a console, so you'll need VRAM to load the assets 1080p or not. It is one of the main reasons hardware outlets said that 12gb of VRAM on a 3060 was "too much" and not necessary. They don't play DCS or memory heavy sims nor majority of their audience. Textures anything other than maximum is a harsh degrade and not recommended in older modules as the cockpit will become unreadable in everything other than gauges. Getting your hands on a 16gb+ current gen card or nothing is the best way to go with this. Best of luck with the build.

You setting the preset via the DCS autoexec.cfg file, or some other method?

While it would be really cool to have this natively, there is a current way to do it: Scratch Pad https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3344152/ And if you combine it with Openkneeboard, it is even better.

this is an insanely weak analogy. First off, if that ever happens then Shell would be the last people you talk to, and second of all, even if that did occur then YOU bought the wrong gas.

Reproduced - selecting "On start" leaves infantry where they were spawned in the mission editor and requires the LCVP to pick them up first. LCVPEmbarkFromStart.trk

Sure, you can try. But you won’t get access to any documents, agreements, etc. Fortunately you can always change shell to BP.

This is not true. They did want to continue, but they couldn't/wouldn't accept the new contract, and thus they couldn't release new modules.

Pedal software maybe. ..
