Hello, I would like to share my experience on how to align to the correct heading to the back of the carrier in f14's case 3. Before contacting the carrier, make sure you switch on all the things right(TACAN, ICLS, Data Link, Radio, etc....). After you contact the carrier and receiving its "final bearing" and turning the course nob to its direction in HSI, Here is how to align to the back of carrier: 1. If the given final bearing is (let's say 57 degrees), then you should steer your aircraft's heading to the opposite side of that direction (+180, 237 degrees),which is the "exact opposite side of the of outer course needle, the side without the arrow", and fly towards it. 2. If nothing goes wrong, you will see that the direct "direction indicating small triangle"(the outer most small one), is slowing and graduately moving towards the outer course needle(from either left or right), meaning you are aligning. 3. After the triangle and the outer course needle is getting fairly close or overlapping, the inner needle will start to approach to the center, meaning you are getting very close to the course, it could be the time when you should begin steering the nose back to the course needle direction. 4. However, there could be times when you will find that the outer triangle will get really slow aligning to the outer course needle when getting close, that is the time your should steer BACK left or right to the course direction and start aligning, 5. If i did not get it wrong, "the outer course arrow is the course direction of your aircraft" and the "inner one is the course of the carrier" 6. If you are getting aligned closer(triangle and arrow are approaching) and start steering the aircraft to the side where the inner arrow rest on(either left or right), the course will align more precisely and faster, which is when you steer to the side the inner needle rest on (like 90 degrees left or right to the outer arrow) . Many Tomcatters do know how to do approach in case 3 either manual or ACLS through Youtube tutorial, but they find it struggling to establish the correct heading to the back of the carrier, the HSI symbology of the cat is not so easily understandable to that of the hornet. nullThat's all I got, you would need more experience and improvise to do this thing, my explanation is pretty unflexible f14 case3 heading .trk

So not a single comment from Pimax regarding this despite articles and recent YT briefly mention it?

I've noticed that the other Nimitz class carriers technically had been provided for and that Marshal can already say they respective callsigns. Provided its only a matter of updating liveries (with CVN numbers), unit type name and radio ATC options, could we please also add CVN-68 Nimitz (Old Salt), CVN-69 Eisenhower (Ike), CVN-70 Vinson (Gold Eagle), CVN-76 Reagan (Freedom) and CVN-77 Bush (Avenger)? Please

For some reason it’s not showing for me, but I’m glad someone is making this. Are you using the Currenthill Mi-28? If yes, then if you wait for the next update, you can use the asset in the game. I put the folder in Saved Games/Aircraft, but it didn’t show up, so maybe there’s a problem somewhere. I have the Ka-50.

Great, I love the update.

Дискорд в этом плане как раз хуже. Потерял место, где остановился, потом тяжело заново искать под спудом. На форуме же страницы сдвигаются только в случае модерации темы.

Jettison spent bomb racks no longer working
Goblin replied to Glowingheat's topic in DCS: AJS37 Viggen
A very late reply, but the bomb release mechanism was triggered by detonation charges that blew the locks open, after which they remained open. I have washed a lot of bomb locks… -
Yepp, this works. Thanks for the hotfix!

yes some fixes for ATP, change log will have details thanks

А мне вот скорее грустно что дискуссия из форумов уходит на Дискорд. Понятно, что он модный и там много функционала. Но все же Дискорд это место более предназначенное для живого общения, а не продолжительных дискуссий на тему. Но приходится считаться с особенностями молодых поколений, у которых продолжительность концентрации внимания не более пары минут

Still cannot get rid of blur looking to the sides, Pimax Super
Panzerlang replied to Marshallman's topic in Pimax
FWIW, I'm running the Super at 0.85 on the render slider with 9800X3D and 5090 (in IL2 however), as full 1.0 was at it's very edge of consistent smoothness. At 0.85 it's 100% good. In DCS, the 9800X3D and 5090 at 0.85, 2 vs 1 QM, gave equally good performance but I doubt it would have been as good with a fully loaded mission. Also, over both Mariannas maps, very little stutter on the deck looking left/right. Despite the common complaints about 'generational improvement', it's clear to me that for flight sims at least the 5090 is a significant improvement. -
Hey Baltic, I just flew the JSOW Strike on those heavy airplanes with high cover cap for the vipers thereafter (don´t remeber mission number) and got a penalty für immortality mode. The thing is, I did not turn it on. The message stayed there quite long but i did not aktivate it. Is it possible that there is something broken with the mission assessment?

@Blackwood Ist zwischen USB-Hub und dem PC noch ein weiteres USB-Verlängerungskabel? Oder geht der Hub direkt in das MB? Prüfe, ob du den Hub in die USB 3.2-Slots eingesteckt hast und nicht in die USB 2.0 Prüfe mal in den Energiesteinstellungen, ob das selektive USB-Energiesparen deaktiviert ist (Siehe Bild)

Я не смешиваю симуляцию полёта со всем остальным. Просто думаю, что в DCS симуляция оператора ганшипа и тех же танков вряд-ли будет лучше чем в вышеназванных милитари стрелялках. Ну ладно, ганшипа может и будет, когда пехота станет пехотой и машинки научатся синематографично переворачиваться.

Really great concept for a campaign i love it. But when you mention the mission , where you have to bomb Saddams yacht. I can't stop thinking about this. -
Thank you Bignewy. Anything from Heatblur in this one?

Это да. Но в той же войне 1991 года один из бортов совершил два с лишним десятка боевых вылетов. Это из того, что известно; кто-то, может, и больше летал. Нельзя сказать, что там совсем стирильные условия сложились, с учётом того, что один самолёт от зенитной ракеты потеряли. А игра на то и игра, что позволяет действовать в различных условиях без опасения за миллионы долларов и экипажи. Так про любой вертолёт, самолёт или танк можно сказать: всё есть в Arma, Squad, Battlefield, War Thunder. Собственно, потому там и player base больше.

Many thanks Actium. Outstanding posting! Even your last sentence is a summary of wisdom: I'd also add three things: Accept community help: some bugs and additional features are mitigated by excellent workarounds. At least ED could use them while waiting for full official reviews. It's been over a year since I solved the problem of the wingman calling "Radar contact..." every 2 seconds with Chump29's clever solution (even though Chump29 no longer maintains it: obviously, people get tired of maintaining things that require a lot of maintenance every time ED changes). Prioritize the Helios integration issue. There's a burgeoning market for "cockpit building," and it's crazy that a few lines of code prevent us from using the cockpit in multiplayer without breaking the integrity check. (see: https://forum.dcs.world/topic/338940-why-should-exporting-rwr-and-other-viewports-break-integrity-check/page/2/#findComment-5524289) Consider creating paid modules for advanced ATC. I don't know the sales figures, but I think Supercarrier was a success. I'm sure the same would happen for a "SuperATC."
