All Activity

Me and the boys made a video tonight. It was good hunting today.

Correct. Like before 2020 it was definitely a recommended practice for those reasons if you dig a little around here in the forum.

Thanks for your reply! Yes, that mission is a part of the Gamblers campaign by Baltic Dragon, and that's the only place I can reproduce this awkward behaviour atm. That's why you can't view it, I guess (didn't know track files from DLC campaigns required activation ). And yes, I agree, it's acts as if I'm too excited with the RDR cursor. I'll try what you just told me and check the keybinds.

This has nothing to do with this topic. This isn't about having difficulty locking a target - it's about the inability to lock a target up when the gun safety is off (held or toggled). It's self-evident. If anyone can explain why it is actually a good thing for the Mig-29 pilot, during guns combat, to have to constantly flip the safety catch back & forth just to re-lock a target, I'll listen.

The link comes up as expired or wrong.

Not sure what those sources are, may be from years ago, but definitely do not run as admin. It can cause issues reading/writing files, and is frequently the cause of mass stuttering and pauses when used with Winwing MFDs. Yeah I think years ago it was spread that this was the way to run DCS as it gave higher priority / power management to the game thread and helped with performance. Don’t know if that was just bs but it isn’t needed and shouldn’t be done now.

Thank you all for your opinion. I will hope that the situation will improve and the manufacturer will fix everything. For now I will uninstall this beautiful plane..

Indeed, I like Gvad's videos but his latest one about MiG-29 smelled very off to me

I figured out one problem it was a conflicted mod. I fixed that but man without that repo available things that should be straight forward even your own documentation crash or cause all sorts of bugs when trying to implement something as trivial as speed call outs. Constant stack traces disables functionality. It shouldn't be this difficult for jester to repeat a value from a gauge or source like IAS. I do want to thank you for you help in walking me through the possible issues at least we got mods loading! That's progress.

Wooooo ... impressive! So far, i haven't been able to try it ( the cobra ), but I like how docile it is and how it manouvres ... Eh, I'm still trying ... so far nothing, even plying with the gain ... But I'll keep trying. the left right is not on the hotas though, right ? Is the little switch in the top left panel right ?

Требуется. Про это написано, что на втором этапе реализуется полуактивное самонаведение, то есть ракета сама корректирует полёт используя отражённый от цели сигнал самолётной РЛС. Не требуется именно радиокорекция, то есть самолёт больше не корректирует полёт ракеты.

Great video, glad someone put Gvad’s claims to the test!

No: the radar losing lock (too) easily is discussed here:

my setup https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-QJuG2DK43s

"At last the Mouse, who seemed to be a person of authority among them, called out, “Sit down, all of you, and listen to me! I’ll soon make you dry enough!” They all sat down at once, in a large ring, with the Mouse in the middle. Alice kept her eyes anxiously fixed on it, for she felt sure she would catch a bad cold if she did not get dry very soon. “Ahem!” said the Mouse with an important air, “are you all ready? This is the driest thing I know. Silence all round, if you please!" Now I can rest easy and carry on exploring the new module, pausing from time to time to see whether its flight model is really quite as ‘monstrously far from the original’ as some would have it.

Why is it insane?

Even as a static - has this been released somewhere?

No, it very much is this topic. Regardless of whether we are using a toggle or held....this Mig-29 does not allow you to lock a target with the gun safety OFF. That's insane.

You already can, trimming force. I keep mine at 100

It’s fixed now.

It’s now 10/2025 . This bug still exists.

I used to run it as administrator because many sources recommended it too. Later I was advised not to as it's no longer needed (and can now create issues), so I stopped - with no negative issues. It seems running DCS as admin was more of an old practice and as a common workaround to who knows what issues, and the current best practice is not to do so. (Really, it probably never should have been recommended in the first place.) Definitely give it a go. It may not fix it, but it would be good to do as a test, and also to start migrating that way anyway.

Da gibt es von Modul zu Modul große Unterschiede. Bei einigen Modulen überstrahlen die Positionslichter sehr stark und sind auch aus großer Distanz noch Sichtbar, bei anderen hingegen ist das komplette Gegenteil der Fall.

Посмотри внимательно, 18-й практически идеально за нотчил ракету. Китаец поймал 7-ку лицом ибо ни сделал ничкакого противоракетного маневра. Ты сам себе противоречишь! "Р-27Р ракета следует за самалётом до момента предпологаемого удара противника. Тэквью показывает, что Р-27Р ракета совсем не следует за самалётом."

I have a feeling that no missiles are reching the base, any chance you saved a track or at least some missiln results? Missiles getting close to the base will trigger the dialogue with the improvised runway and the conditions to end the mission. Taking down 9 bombers is a tad unrealistic with your loadout.
