Some great advice here, what speed do you find best for AAR? Also i need a mod manager to move all my mods into whats the best and where do you put that mod for the PDL lights?

Before sliding into position, point your gun cross on the tip of the boom, and stabilise it there for a few seconds. Then slide forward.

KC-135 Tanker Improved PDL Lights

Yes, Il2 GB has been around a while (mid 2010s I think?). Like you say though, single studio. And that is still a DX11 title and has been for as long as I remember (and it sounds like Vulkan will be the breaking change for the RB modules without maintenance). MS2020 to MS2024 then yes, a decent chunk of DLC was upgraded for free/nominal amounts but that was very much an outlier. I've had pretty much every version of MSFS between 98 and 2020 (2024 seemed too much of a bin fire on release to tempt we to get it yet) and its generally been a pretty clean break with maybe the very occasional discount if you had a given piece of DLC for the previous version.

Also, Ground crews cannot do multitask. They do orders one by one. For example, while rearming/refueling crews will not connect ground power/air, remove wheel choke ETC... They do 'queue'.

Thanks, never used that one before.

Love this mod, would love to see it finished! For now, I can't get the wing sweep to work. I hit RCtrl+P and it does nothing

Maybe it's noted, but I couldn't find it. Check the wingtip coords, pls. They seem to be set wider than they should be.

Even better, hit Left Ctrl Y while in cockpit view and you'll get the info bar as well, toggling between IAS, TAS and off (albeit, If I recall correctly, TAS in info bar in not really TAS but GS - at least it used to be long ago. Worth checking again with some wind set in th mission).

Yes i think i get your point. And of course it's up to the developer to stop maintaining their software. But the frustrating thing about this is that the developer of these 4 modules didn't plan to stop the work and we would continue to enjoy them for an unpredicted - maybe long future like all the other modules. As soon as i buy a module it's not just a module but a peace of DCS. And other than most other games DCS is for free with just on FC Aircraft and one FF non armed warbird. It really becomes DCS only with the modules you have to buy. They are a fix part of DCS and i expect them to work in their game until DCS doesn't work anymore at all. Imagine a player who only owns the 4 RB modules.... Having a 2nd install of DCS just to used 3 old modules and 1 unfinished is not nice. Ok, back in the 90s when i wanted to play with the Apache i had to start Janes Longbow 1 or 2. When i wanted to play with the Strike Eagle i had to stop Longbow and start Janes F-15 and if i wanted to fly the F-16 i had to quit Janes F-15 and start Falcon 4.0. But we are not anymore in the 90s - it's 2025 and the games are needing a little bit more space. But anyway - it's not over yet. Even if it seems to me that everything gets prepared for the loss of these modules i'm still hoping that this dispute get's sorted out.

does not work.

So sniper pod still can't put bombs on moving targets?

Just get set up correctly under the tanker and the boom operator will connect, easier than hornet imo.

You can undo it now that ED rolled the API change back in today's patch.

The DLCs in question aren't for sale any longer though.

Good afternoon, Since the F-16 is now out of early access, could you update the name on the manual and the file name?

The line between 'new title' and 'new version' can be pretty blurred. The changes being banded around that are coming when we get past 2.9.x are pretty fundamental. Would it feel any better if it was DCS 2025 1.0 rather than DCS 3.0? And by the sounds of it then none of the other modules will 'just work' across that line but will likely require some level of change to keep them working. Except in the case of the Razbam modules then no one can work on them right now. So in light of that then do ED just postpone any changes that will create a breaking change in any module in its current state?

They will probably use high quality building textures, after all, those are just assets. You'll probably get to see the same buildings in a lot of different places in the world. Then again, it's already done that way in existing maps (this also alleviates the "bomb your house" concern, as your neighborhood is unlikely to actually look the part). Terrain, we'll see. There will probably be low and high detail areas. We can reasonably expect the install to bloat up in size, though.

Bonjour, j'ai fait quelques missions : Et puis si tu cherches un peu plus loin, il y en a d'autres.

Yeah that would be helpful. Cheers mate

Forgot about VR:\ No zoom command there. ED needs to step up the AAR visual references and quality indeed. Best of luck!

If ED continues to sell DLCs for DCS it is reasonable to assume that it intends to continue supporting those DLCs in DCS. Whether they were released a decade ago or a week ago makes no odds.

Tell me about it haha in vr your on the edge of your seat with suspense I set the way points really far apart and he still managed to start turning the race track just when i were getting closer lol.. ill have to try and follow this however the lights arent very bright

Approach the boom at the same height of your pilot POV after 'clear pre contact' message received from the tanker. Once the boom moves to point at the refueling door, change reference to the reference lights/deviation lights. Align first the up/down deviation lights to its middle/neutral. Approach slowly until the longitudinal lights gets into the middle/neutral position. Stick to both lights at neutral for a bit and the boom will automatically connect. Always reference the yellow painted line bellow the tanker to center the aircraft. Tiny inputs on throttle at a time while giving time for the consequences of each input to take place. You have a bit of play after each lights maximum deviation but take small actions to keep on middle. From what I can tell from memory. AAR is fun. Pleasurable. Enriching... and still is over simplified at the current state. Once you 'get it' it becomes second nature. A little zoom command can help, even though the lights are overly dim. Sadly. Put it is possible.

...and if the contact were a contact.
