Thank you very much, I will follow the procedure

Thank you!

Excellent report! I'm pretty sure that has to do with the game setting "Easy Communication". With this setting enabled, radios will automatically tune to the proper frequency when you initiate a radio call. So the ARC-210 doesn't actually match the ARC-164 here (well it does, but it couldn't care less which freq is set in the ARC-164 is my point ), it just switches to the UHF freq for Nellis Tower, because that's Tower's default frequency. It doesn't necessarily make sense that it tunes to the UHF freq when you've already dialed in the VHF AM freq, but Easy Comms is much older than the multi-mode ARC-210, which was a relatively late addition to the A-10C II (you wouldn't see this happening in the A-10C legacy module, where the front radio is another ARC-186, just like the aft radio). Also, when you pay close attention, on your second radio call ("Request takeoff"), you had pushed Mic Switch Forward and were talking through the ARC-210; the written message in the top right corner clearly reads "ARC-210" in this case. So, long story short, when you disable "Easy Communication" in the game's options, this will no longer happen. Or, to cross check, you can do the same sequence of events, but before you initiate the "Request takeoff" call, switch the ARC-164 to any other freq. The ARC-210 is still going to tune Nellis Tower on UHF, regardless of what's set in the ARC-164.

Blurry and glitchy mess as end result when the servers are somewhat stressed during a major release or sale. Streaming assets is a nuisance and it will always be as optimization naturally migrate to server expense and not user experience. DCS need to actually make a tech that reduces terrain storage footprint for a global map, not send the task to a cloud service that will be paid for use. You can't compare Microsoft's size to Eagle Dynamics. These are not even in the same universe of magnitude.

No, DTC also allows for Radio Preset programming at the present state. In the future, we plan to integrate more features, for example the navigation data. This is an ongoing process. And that takes time. thank you

To be most realistic, flying the Phantom is to use pen and pencil... and 7 Ps. Proper Preflight Planning Prevents P.ss Poor Performance. The planning is always before the flight. If something changes in flight use, as Karon already said. Pilotage and dead reckoning. And by the way, the use of digital maps is prohibited; learning how to fold a 1:500000 chart is kind of a piece of art. Yes, some of us used GPS in the 2000s, but mainly for navigating in European airspace, not busting any altitude limits or airspaces. We used in the beginning a simple excel sheets and later on PFPS.

If you try that other sim that streams the content it actually doesn’t need that much bandwidth. The recommended is just 50mbps. It seems like the only solution for games with such large content. Like when or if DCS ends up with a global map just putting it on a drive will become unmanageable.

Hi, I have updated to the latest hotfix. How do I now use the original Mbucchia QV? Do I need to uncheck Quadviews in Pimax Play for DCS but enable it in DCS to use the original? I have tried that but it didn't work, but I haven't de- and reinstalled Mbucchia QV yet (I have just read I am supposed to do that). Does enabling quad views in Pimax Play generally override Mbucchia QV? I get jittering in DCS. Generally the whole experience is far from smooth. DCS frame counter gives me constant 90fps and constant frametimes, but I get jittering all the time which makes it very much unplayable, it at least not enjoyable.

Am I correct in thinking that the DTC, in its present form, only allows control of countermeasures?

Yeah, good call....they are AI A-10Cs on OPs mission. AI helicopters can "spawn on ground" outside parking spots. Only AI fixed wings are prohibited.

I love the save game option & the recent damage models staying on the battlefield. However, I don't understand the saved state features. For example, My AWACS does function when I re-enter the save game. Late activated aircraft on an action trigger are there but their waypoints aren't showing. Any triggered actions, such as a convoy moving towards a target return to a late activation state, even when triggered as active in the original mission before the save. Maybe I don't understand the concept of the saved game option and is still being developed. Question: will original triggers work in the saved game if not triggered in the original mission?

Also note that AI fixed wing (don't know about helicopters) cannot spawn on ground, they can only spawn on a designated spot or in the air. If you want that aircraft to spawn on ground, set the skill level to "Client" or "Player".

During a mission departing from Nellis AFB with the A-10C II, I encountered a bug involving the aircraft's radios. After setting both radios to their respective tower frequencies, the ARC-210 radio automatically switches to the ARC-164 UHF frequency at a specific moment. Here’s the sequence of actions performed: • Set frequency 132.55 on ARC-210 • Set frequency 327.00 on ARC-164 • Requested taxi clearance on 327.00 (ARC-164) • After receiving taxi clearance, I requested takeoff clearance on 132.55 (ARC-210) At the exact moment I made the takeoff request via the in-game radio menu, the ARC-210 frequency was automatically overwritten and switched to 327.00, matching the ARC-164. I’m attaching both a video and a track file to illustrate the issue. Thanks Sniper radio_bug.trk 2025-08-20 14-41-23.mkv

Ah! Thanks Razor. Learning new things everyday. @Dragan your Warthogs in your mission are set to spawn in a "turning point" at 33ft Set to "Start on Ground" instead like on my images above.

A track file is a mission file with the track data. It can still be opened with the mission editor, you just have to switch the file format from ".miz" to ".trk" when you click on "open mission" or whatever it is called in the editor.

That's a track file. Use "Take Off From Ground". To from ground.miz

100% agree with the general topic, and with those 2 suggestions specifically. We are already able to manage what terrains and modules want to install, we might use the same manager to chose which liveries to install, besides the default livery for each core asset (or maybe even one default livery per country per asset, when appropriate).

Can you post the mission file?

Following the option of preparing for takeoff outside the designated parking space, the plane had a cold start. When I was supposed to start, the plane was in the air at its lowest point and hit a tree and that was the end. What is the point of this option if it doesn't work, which I tried for the first time, or where is my possible mistake??? LastMissionTrack.trk

The user-defined Properties for Trigger Zones are insanely useful. Please consider adding similar functionality for Airplane and Vehicle Groups, this would be a game-changer for content creation. Thank you.

SAMP\T does not work. Version DCS 2.9.19.13478 (the update was released on August 13, 2025) The radar does not detect targets (it does not even trigger on targets. It does not start until "Combat readiness" is set, which means that the radar does not see targets). As of March 2025 - everything worked correctly I am attaching a test mission:51ct.miz

seems you have excellent internet bandwidth, but I see many people that wouldn’t have enough bandwidth to play.

"Summer textures":

Streaming content is very expensive, which is fine for massive companies with unlimited resources. But it does not scale down to well. Hi celesteHawk, Thank you for your input. I will share your comments with the team. Managing the size of DCS is something we discuss internally, but it is a challenge. thank you
