PLS GIVE NS430

For Weser-Wuemme though, the power lines in the approach sector of RWY01 are in fact correct, and looking at Google Maps (I am not familiar with that airfield in RL), the same thing applies to Waren-Vielist RWY06.

Much appreciation to Warlord64 for this and all his other work to make simming a much better place. I am delving back into the B-17 to see if there is still hope for this magnificent model. (Absolutely loved the Reflected campaigns for the BF-109 and FW-190 btw). Looks like the .json file sequence and content got changed. Just did a re-sequence of entries combining the new file and Warlords one and it seems to work. Not sure if its been covered elsewhere? Cheers, (Make sure you back-up the original .json file. ) b-17g.lods.json

Thanks - does the inbuilt kneeboard not handle jpg then? I'm sure the folder name is right, unless I've gone nuts

This is in part because Ugra mixed pre- and post 1995 revision ICAO codes. If they really want this to be a Cold War map, then the East German airbases and airfields should not have ICAO codes at all, and the West German airbases should have their pre-1995 ICAO codes. Just as an example, Buechel AB was EDSB before 1995, nowadays it is ETSB (T being the denominator for all military airbases in Germany post 1995) and EDSB is Saarbruecken today, but in the sim they use ETSB. Also, the layouts especially of the East German airbases are much closer to their today's layouts than to Cold War. I'm not gonna scold Ugra for the map, I really like it, but there are quite a few inconsistencies in that aspect.

Hey sterny, I flew the mission again and was able to distroy the SA-2 with my second shrike. I aproached low with some terrain cover and poped up like briefed. I made one slapshot likely out of range and had the luck, that the SA-2 targeted my number 4. So I flew straight towards the SAM in about 4000 ft AGL and released my second shrike which finally did the job. My number 4 sadly got shot but there was no issue with the shrike hitting the radar. I felt like going for a 100 % score since an Igla shot me right from below while distracting the SA-6. At the end my score was a crap since I somehow screwed the procedures at some point and also was about 40 seconds late on TOT. But the shrikes did a fairly resonable job.

@sleighzy OK, maybe I should create a new topic, I decided to post here because I had seen posts from user Dashomat, who seems to have exactly the same problem. If I want to enter Missions, Trainings, etc., I have to be online during loading of DCS. When DCS is loaded, and I disconnect the WIFI, I still have access to Missions, Trainings, Encyclopedia, etc. The problem is when I disconnect the WIFI before loading DCS, In that case everything freezes. I use the Steam version of DCS, I don't know if users of the standalone installation have the same problem in the offline mode. The log I attached Is from the case when I run from Steam Offline.

Where is the location of nose wheel strut ? Mentioned in interactive tutorial upon taxing. Somewhere behind pilot seat ? Does it do same thing as Lalt + Q or something else ?

Yes, you set it there. Should be in the ingame briefing. Depends on the airport, but around 5000ft is a decent altitude to switch the altimeter.

Hello. The JF17 is an excellent module for DCS, but I'd like to know what the work plan is for improving it or adding new weapons. And if there's any planning for Block 3 at some point.

Twenty-five years have passed, and pilots, like everyone else, are prone to forgetfulness and mistakes. Facts about the MiG-29 are found only in the original Russian-language documentation for the USSR/Russian Air Force.

Those who have a different opinion on this matter simply cannot write about it. They hold their heads.

I have not found a source where the operation of SPO together with radar is permitted.

Just flew Mission 01: Camp destroyed : 40 points? Convoy: wingman destroyed 1 vehicle with cluster bomb, and I destroyed 4 with rockets and was given RTB direction: 50 points? Return to hanger 19: 10 points? but score was 75, which isn't a possible total according to the briefing. From mission log: DCS 2.9.20.15010, no mods.

Yeah I'd like to also point out that the new hangars shouldn't be placed where the F-15 ones are meant to be. They've done this at the hangars near 28L and it's unusable for the intended aircraft lol. @OnReTech make a custom hangar for the F-15s pls

That's a shame but I get where it's coming from, I trust your experience on what can and can't be done to delight our inner child! Can't wait to fly it! Btw, I know you already announced your upcoming campaigns, but do you have anything you're going to share soon ? As both your upcoming campaings are on hold waiting for DCS updates (PTO, early -A, -BU, and parts of the Iraq map)

@Someone Please help him

You don't have to but it helps to prevent overheating or also helps so you don't forget to turn it off when you are cruising/RTB. Set avionic language in the gameplay or misc settings to english.

I saw this video and AI CPG is locking up targets no problem, but when I try it he never sees them. Is this possible or is this guy using some kind of hacks in this movie?

fixed by keep pressing lockon button for about 4-5s

Hi yes, you can set all the slots to hot start. In my Kola Sandbox I had two versions, one cold and one hot, but that was a pain in the rear to maintain, so I dropped the hot start version. All mission relevant data is in the mission overview PDF, it tells you what your target is and the weapons. For instance USA F-4E Slot 4: Seek & destroy Shilka near Bebra (TPOD) with Mavericks If you are supposed to attack a very specific target, like USSR MiG-21 Slot 3: Attack bridge near Boizenburg (238°, 157km) then the main manual will provide a target photo of it Hope this helps? Looking forward to the OP Firestorm videos (I have the notification turned on ). It is basically a very simple and straightforward mission, but it took me many tries to finally fly it to the end. Problem always was a lack of discipline. It could be so easy - call SEAD, wait for confirmation, keep distance, check George's yellow list with the TADS zoom function - boom TOS gone. But our ego has other plans - "I can do this on my own!" (...and there is still the secondary task waiting)

Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) are all the craze in the defense world right now. By the time we get the F-35A module they will be forward deployed. Thoughts on simulating CCAs in DCS? This tech is built on Skunk Works’ Agile Drone Framework, which helps pilots with survivability, modularity, and seamless integration with 5th-gen fighters for air-to-air, air-to-ground, and ISR missions. This could bring next-gen tactics to life also making DCS much more in line with what warfighters are going to be dealing with. Drone on drone warfare seems to be the future. Here is a screen-grab from this video that dropped recently. Would love to hear what others think!

After DAYS of working at this, I have FINALLY found a workaround that I can reproduce with 100% success rate: Workaround for AFCS failing after repair on MiG-29A (Full Fidelity) IMPORTANT: When going for a repair at an airfield, don't try to realign gyros or nav or anything. Don't flick any switches after landing other than exactly what I say here: Shut off engines (right alt + home, right shift + home) Turn ground power on Repair Turn ground power on again (cuz it disconnects when repairing) Turn engines back on CTRL + T to neutral trim Left Alt + 9 to redo AFCS BIT test If you do anything else (change gyro settings, realign nav, turn off the afcs switch and turn it back on, it WILL break and be unrecoverable). Here is a track with proof of multiple consistent reproductions of this workaround: https://www.mediafire.com/file/1dddac66n3uon2f/Through_The_Inferno_CCS_v2.3.8-20250921-233402.trk/file

Alas, buying EA in most cases achieves the opposite.

Still unresolved.
