Consent To Fire functions for current conditions displayed in center of AI Interface, with the function corresponding with a short press (<0.5 sec) displayed above and the function corresponding with a long press (>0.5 sec) displayed below. Added: New George AI CPG features and abilities. 7 additional methods for searching for targets to George AI CPG. Added 5 Area search methods. Added 2 Point search methods. Search for targets based on geographic proximity to the selected TSD point or FCR Next-To-Shoot (NTS) target, rather than by threat priority. Increase/decrease TADS field-of-view and toggle sensor (FLIR/DTV) when slaved to TSD point or Linked to FCR Next-To-Shoot (NTS) target. Toggle TADS field-of-view (Narrow/Zoom) when tracking a target and NO WPN or RKT is assigned. Toggle sensor (FLIR/DTV) when tracking a target and NO WPN is assigned. Adjust TADS crosshairs aimpoint on target when tracking a target and GUN, MSL, or RKT is assigned. Player should only use this when able to fly in a stable manner. Perform start-up and shutdown procedures when commanded. NOTE: This must be actively commanded by the player now. Engage multiple targets in sequence, as selected by the player from AI Target List. Added: New DCS units to George AI CPG unit labels in Target List. Improved: George AI CPG missile engagement behavior. George will announce “Constraints” if a Safety Inhibit or Performance Inhibit is present to prompt the player to maneuver the helicopter into acceptable launch constraints. George may be commanded to override a Performance Inhibit by pressing Consent To Fire. NOTE: This allows the player to decide when it is appropriate to fire under certain conditions, but risks the missile missing the target if not used appropriately. If missile launchers are in SAFE status, George will press LNCHR ARM if commanded to action SAL2 or RF missiles. If RF MSL PWR is set to OFF, George will set it to AUTO if commanded to action RF missiles. Improved: George AI CPG rocket engagement behavior. George will not fire rockets when in COOP rocket mode. The Pilot (player) is intended to fire rockets in COOP rocket mode. George will announce “Match and shoot” at further range (7000 meters). When in COOP rocket mode, changing rocket settings on the WPN page in Pilot seat will also change George’s rocket settings in AI Interface. Improved: George AI CPG Interface logic when landed (weight-on-wheels). Improved: George AI CPG verbal feedback. George will now tell the player when he cannot perform the commanded action. Will reply with “not ready to engage”, “not ready to fire”, or “standby” if the player presses Consent To Fire and the target is in range but George is not actually ready to engage. This may occur if George is shifting aim to the target or if still lasing for an RF missile handover. Fixed: George AI CPG not firing gun when commanded with ROE HOLD FIRE until previous gun burst impacts. Fixed: George AI CPG time-of-flight estimation when employing AGM-114L. Will now accurately wait for missile impact on target, before firing another missile if target is not destroyed. Updated: DCS: AH-64D Early Access Guide. See Latest Changes section for additional content. Added Helicopter Fundamentals of Flight chapter. Revised/updated George AI chapter with new logic and functions of George as AI CPG. Known Issue: George will not action rockets to enter COOP rocket mode after setting AI Interface to “RKT”.

Su-22M4 Mod Information and Progress - August 2025, Su-22M4 is an FC3 based, free mod of a legendary export variant of Su-17 attack aircraft, It is in FC3 fidelity with a lot of the cockpit being clickable as well as some basic system implementation. These include: - Cold Start Procedure - Generators, Pumps, APU, Gyro spool up, - In cockpit lighting - dimmable flood lights as well as warning lights with master caution reset, - RWR turn on/off with volume and brigtness controll, - Weapon control panel - ripple quantity, interval, master arm, - Basic SAU Channels (autopilot), - Wing Sweep Controll (only cosmetic for now, no effect on flight characterisitcs), CWS like in Su-30 is planned, this will allow for CRT display being usable for TV munition seeker view (Su-22 didnt have TGP). No estimates on that, first version will be released with Su-25A avionics. I choose them because it uses identical targeting system and gunsight as Su-22. It will use modified Su-27 Flight Model. Su-22M4 will require Su-25A and Su-27 modules Mod progress (august 2025) What is done: - External 3d model with animations, minor details might be changed, - Remove Before Flight Covers, - Liveries (almost 90 from a lot of Su-22 users, around 50 Polish AF), - Pylons with assigned weapons that can be carried on them, - Cockpit 3d model with basic gauges animated, - In cockpit clickables: Engine Control, System Power, Main Power Panel, Weapon Control Panel,Avionics Power, NWS, Taxi/Takeoff lights, - Wing Sweep Control - 3 Positions: 30, 45 and 63 Degrees, - External Lighting and Cockpit warning lights., - In-cockpit sound system with custom sounds - battery, pumps, gyro, apu, launch tone, - Wallpapers, Icons and stuff - Simple damage model What needs to be done before release: - As much in cockpit clickability as possible with modelling systems even with fc3 limitations - Bounding keybind presses to in-cockpit switches and buttons (so they animate properly) - KKR-1 recon pod (cosmetic only) - Wyuga ELINT pod, and maybe a way to correclty target ARM with Su-25A avionics, or at least making it look legit. - Loadouts - Multiplayer Synchronisation Estimated Release Date: Fourth Quarter of 2025

08 August 2025 Dear Fighter Pilots, Partners and Friends, It is with great pleasure that we share a more complete list of the modules coming to the Pacific Theatre of Operations (PTO) Assets Pack. In parallel with other modules like the DCS: F4U-1D Corsair, the free DCS: Marianas WWII Map, and the upcoming DCS: F6F-3 Hellcat, the PTO Assets Pack is designed to provide a rich and detailed array of United States and Imperial Japanese air, ground, and naval units in the summer of 1944 PTO. Many of these units are finished, and others are still in progress; we look forward to your feedback. We are steadily progressing on our earlier released Mission Save State function. Please read the report below to learn about how we are improving this very useful feature. Additionally, we have added several fantastic modules to our Free Trial Program. You can try these aircraft and maps at no cost or obligation. Take them for a spin today! Thank you for your passion and support. Yours sincerely, Eagle Dynamics Pacific Theatre of Operations 1944 Assets Pack Update Since the release of the free DCS: Marianas WWII map and the Magnitude 3 DCS: F4U-1D Corsair, we want to provide an update on the extensive effort being devoted to bringing this scenario to life with the PTO Assets Pack. Learning from some of the European Theatre of War scenarios, the PTO scenario is focused on providing an extensive order of battle for both US and Imperial Japanese forces in the summer of 1944 and to offer an accurate representation of the battle for the Mariana Islands and the Battle of the Philippine Sea. New player aircraft coming for this scenario will include both the F6F-3 Hellcat and the A6M5 Zero. Since our last update on this project, we can now share with you the specific air, land, and sea units being developed for the PTO Assets Pack, which owners of the existing World War II Assets Pack will be able to purchase with a 30% discount: PTO AI Assets: United States Aircraft F6F “Hellcat” SB2C “Helldiver” TBF “Avenger” SBD-5 “Dauntless” PBY “Catalina” P-38L “Lightning” United States Ships Enterprise aircraft carrier Casablanca-class light aircraft carrier Independence-class light aircraft carrier New Orleans-class heavy cruiser Baltimore-class heavy cruiser Cleveland-class light cruiser Fletcher-class destroyer Liberty-class transport Cimmaron-class oiler United States Ground Forces M4A2 Sherman M3A1 “Stuart” light tank LVT-4 tracked landing vehicle LVT(A)-4 tracked landing vehicle DUKW-353 amphibious truck US Marine Corp infantryman US Navy Carrier personnel US Navy seaman Imperial Japanese Aircraft A6M5 “Zero” D4Y “Judy” D3A “Val” B6N “Jill” Imperial Japan Ships Shokaku aircraft carrier Chitose light aircraft carrier Kongo battleship Mogami heavy cruiser Agano-class light cruiser Yugumo-class destroyer Kagero-class destroyer Kashino-class transport Imperial Japanese Ground Forces Type 94 Tankette Type 95 Ha-Go tank Kurogane Type 95 car Type 97 Te-Ke tank Type 97 Chi-Ha tank Type 97 ShinHoTo tank Type 2 Ka-M amphibious tank Type 1 47mm anti-tank gun Type 98 20mm anti-aircraft gun Type 91 10cm towed artillery Type 92 70mm towed artillery Type 10 120mm anti-aircraft gun Imperial Japanese Army Infantryman Japan Navy seaman Mission State Save Development Progress Following the initial release of the Mission Save state feature, we have gathered your feedback for further improvements. Based on this, we delivered an API feature request to our talented scripting community which was well received. Moving forward, a common request has been saving destroyed unit states on the battlefield. We have now tackled this issue, and destroyed static objects will be created in place of each destroyed ground vehicle, aircraft, infantry unit, or static building (not terrain/map buildings) in the Mission Save state. In this sense, the battlefield wreckage remains where the destruction took place. With the Mission Editor, these objects will be automatically given a "hidden" parameter to not clutter the map view. However, if you want to remove them from the mission because of your plot choice, you can find them in the Mission Editor units list and delete them. We will be releasing this improvement in an upcoming update once testing is fully complete. Based on your feedback, our next task for Mission Save state improvements will be to save a group’s waypoint parameters. This work is ongoing and includes the ability to save specific ground vehicles parameters such as ROE and more.

Hi Confirmed, the Player FF Zero is planned for the future. thank you bignewy

Sorry, I'm all in for supporting the developers, but the subscription marketing model is awful .. the moment your income situation changes (retiring, losing our job for a while, a serious disease) you lose access to your software, media entertainment, cloud storage, etc, etc ... I much rather purchase rather than subscribing.

DCS: MiG-29A Fulcrum Introduction We are happy to release our first instruction video for our MiG-29A Fulcrum, or project 9-12A. This introduction video is based on a pre-release version, so some elements may change at or after release. The MiG-29A is a single-seat, dual engine, Soviet fighter that was designed in the 1970s as a light-fighter in parallel with development of the larger Su-27 Flanker. The Fulcrum entered service in 1983 with its primary role being point air defense for Soviet and several Warsaw Pact member countries. It’s a relatively small, twin-tail, blended-wing fighter with leading edge extensions, that is powered by two widely spaced, RD-33 engines, each capable of 18,300 pounds of force in afterburner. Air is fed into the engines from variable intake ramps below the fuselage. For unprepared field operations, the MiG-29 has the unique feature of being able to close the main intake ramps, and instead open intakes above the leading-edge extensions to avoid the intake of foreign objects. For enhanced maneuverability, the Fulcrum includes automatic leading-edge slats and an all-moving tail plane. Although it does not use a fly-by-wire flight control system, it does come equipped with hydraulic controls and a three-axis autopilot system. Between its impressive thrust-to-weight ratio and excellent high-alpha capability, the 9G-capable Fulcrum can be a very challenging opponent in a dogfight. Although the MiG-29A has G and angle of attack limiters, these can be overridden. Its impressive dogfight capabilities are further enhanced by the ability of Fulcrum pilots to cue AA-11 “Archer”, R-73, infrared-guided missiles with a Helmet Mounted Sight for deadly high off boresight attacks. Designed as a point defense fighter, the MiG-29A does not come equipped with aerial refueling capability and has a maximum ferry range of 930 miles clean, and 1,300 miles with an external fuel tank. In the nose of the aircraft is a NO19 Sapfir 29 look-down/shoot-down radar and digital computer. Mounted forward of the windscreen is the S-31E2 Infrared Search and Track sensor that can detect and track aerial targets solely based on their infrared signature. The MiG-29A was primarily designed as an air-to-air fighter armed with short- and medium-range air-to-air missiles and a GSh-30-1 30 mm cannon with 150 rounds. Although the AA-10 Alamo A (R-27R) and AA-10 Alamo B (R-27T) are the typical medium-range air-missiles arming the MiG-29A, it can also be technically armed with the extended range AA-10 Alamo C (R-27ER) and AA-10 Alamo D (R-27ET) versions. These medium-range missile options are in addition to the shorter-range, infrared-guided AA-11 Archer (R-73) and AA-6 Aphid (R-60 and R-60M) dogfight missiles. In addition to these air-to-air armaments, the MiG-29A also has limited air-to-ground attack options including unguided bombs, rockets, and strafe.

Hey! Thanks for the positive feedback on the new DCS core asset pack. I'm going to update all of the mod asset packs, to feature LODs and reduced texture sizes, to make the packages smaller and the assets less demanding in missions. I will also remove the duplicated assets that are now featured in core DCS. I'm also going to update all weapons to the latest standard. I started with this one as a template, since it only have one asset. Military Asset Pack Turkey 2.0.0 released! Changelog Version 2.0.0 Added LODs Changed textures to reduce size Added encyclopedia entry Changed folder structure Distribution model This Military Asset Pack is available in the following versions: The standard full download.

Unfortunately, after many hours of trying to fix some things in code, I decided that we will go back to normal Su-25A simplified weapon control panel. Mixing avSimpleWeaponSystem with FC3 causes some interfierence and bugs that I am unable to fix with code. So, for the sake of simplicity and better user experience, weapon controll panel will work- like in Su-25A Dont worry - still clickable I also added A/G / A/A selector, reworked ripple and interval selectors for su25a avionics and added jettison and main arming panel (master arm, LA override, cannon load) There might still be some bugs, but the main functionalites are working, and I'd like to finish the mod even with some impurities to fix for later.

Red Star Simulations (MiG-17F):

Some more system modelling - today are Warning Lights with Master Caution Reset. New failures make the warning lights blink until Master Caution Reset is pressed.

With Great Contribution of @flanker78. good advance on W IP ASM, big work Comrade ...

This is atrocious -- I am severely disappointed and aghast. I feel that you (ED and their community managers) could have announced this change more than 24 hours in advance (6 months would have been a better time frame), and perhaps solicited feedback from the community -- because the way that you (ED) chose to implement this sandbox protection scheme is a 1980's design. "autexec.cfg" - are you frigging kidding me? Doesn't anyone at ED understand modern UX and or UI design? Why use such an obsolete and user hostile one-size-fits-all scheme when it would be so much better to build a "sandbox on/off" switch into DCS proper, and then add a simple UI that allow users to add folders to an 'allow unsafe' box that automatically allows unsafe invocations for any mission inside? Users could drag folders/directories and/or missions into the box and - boom! - they allow unsafe invocations. Designing this is (or should be to your talent) near-trivial (I did interface stuff like that in 2 hours -- 2002, on a Mac in XCode!), and a so much better approach for users who grew up with a Mouse. I feel that this new 'design' of yours is unworthy of you, and it feels like such a blatant slap into all of your content creators' face that I am deeply saddened to see how you simply (and callously) implement a far-reaching change like this without ever feeling the need to consult your community and contributors. Are we that worthless to you? That new 'feature' of yours kills any mission that uses net.dostringIn(). You do realise that mission scripters resort to doscript_in because DCS's mission scripting environment requires this to circumvent a bad flaw in MSE's design, do you? This means that any mission today that is sufficiently advanced will stop to work and require that unsafe patch, which will probably result in most DCS installs being unsafe. The exact opposite of security - likely a complete failure of what you set out to do. Why, why, why did you not try to sound out this change with those who spent lots of time creating missions for your product? I would have expected more from you, ED. For the record, can I request that you. or someone from ED, elaborate if you agree that this is merely a coarse stop-gap and that you do have a real, user-accessible and well thought-out future version waiting in the wings? Because this? This is bad design. Will we get a real 'sandbox' security interface for DCS? I don's feel like updating the 50 (?) missions I put on Userfiles, so maybe they run, maybe not. 9 out of the last 10 missions I published there no longer work and now require unsafe invocations. So be it. I cannot be bothered to care if you, dear ED, can't be bothered to engage with your community either. What a mess. I hope that you will fix it soon. Will you, ED?

@YoYohow about now?

It takes a lot of time to develop, support and maintain a dcs mod. Having neverending toxic discussions like it is done in this community does not motivate and is no fun at all. And the time I spent on this will not come back nor would be payed somehow (except few donations thx) So it makes the most sense to focus on more grateful topics in life.

DCS C-130J, cargo hold.

No discussion here. DCS needs good, scalable and easy to maintain security. In the past, I have recommended a couple of approaches in these forums how, for example, DCS could easily sandbox (better: sidestep) the lfs 'sanitize' issue by allowing a controlled, sandboxed 'writeString()' method that saves a string to a mission without having to 'de-sanitize' DCS (and compromise security). It was never followed up on. Pity. Instead we got the 'save mission' system that simply doesn't work, solves no problem at all, lfs still needs to be de-sanitized using a really, really bad 'unlock this for everyone' approach, just like this approach for dostring_in(). And to truly underscore how bad things are, the two approaches to resolving related issues (security) aren't harmonized. To me this is indicative of deeper troubling issues at ED than merely a bad IT security design team. The problem is that this new 'enhanced security' is, as implemented now, utter garbage; an inept, heavy-handed approach that will lead to LESS security. Why? Because soon (if they haven't already) videos and article will appear that tell you how to 'fix DCS' when all these "attempt to call field dostring_in" errors pop up in-mission. Invariably they will tell you to 'simply place this autoexec.cfg here, and you are done'. Because of the hare-brained one-size-fits-all approach, now the entirety of DCS is open, for every mission (not to mention providing a new attack vector through a malicious autoexec.cfg that is provided by the attacker in the video). Anyone with merely passing working experience in security can tell you: this approach is bad, much worse than not doing anything. So my opinion: this 'security' design is utterly inept, and it results in REDUCING security because everyone will bypass this 'security' for their comfort. Its like putting a fantastically complicated lock on your front door. Because it inconveniences everyone, they just keep it unlocked, opening the door for anyone. Is that improved security? A better design would allow per-mission sandboxing. There a billions of possible approaches: put the mission in a folder /insecure, and if it is in there, use the settings screen in DCS to regulate what is allowed (and yeah, lfs and io should be in there too). Better yet: have a GUI for that allows players to drag missions/directories into. Any mission in there is allowed risky stuff (configured by the GUI). Simple, and it does not take a lot of talent to implement. I'm not saying that above is good security design. Far from it. I'm merely saying that it's better by orders of magnitude than the current, inept design. What deeply troubles me is the fact that something this badly designed has made it past the design stage. What angers me is that it made made it into production. ED - you have a serious quality issue. Cheap, badly thought out code like this should never make it to the customer. This is really, really bad, ED. Please fix it. And please, if you don't have the talent, I'm sure there is ample talent in the community to help you out. Just ask.

Your comments here are insulting many people and with relatively low knowledge of the subject. If you don't care, the developer doesn't care either. The best you can do is politely ask, that's all. You even marked your reply as resolved. That's really lol.

I always wonder how people who spent thousands of Euros or Dollars on the appropriate hardware for the game argue about the price of a single module or in this case of a cheap assets pack … sorry, can‘t understand.

If "the community" can be split by an assets pack that costs little in the first place and also comes with a 30% discount, then the community isn't worth very much. This endless song and dance about how this, that, and everything else, "splits the community" is getting very old and very tired.

Please let me tell you about my upcoming DCS "docu-campaign "Anytime, Baby!" for the Heatblur F-14 Tomcat.

15 August 2025 Dear Fighter Pilots, Partners and Friends, We are pleased to bring you our latest update that includes a wide range of improvements and fixes across the DCS Core, aircraft and map modules. From refined AI behavior and weapon adjustments, to very substantial improvements to the Afghanistan map, this update represents another step toward delivering the most authentic and immersive combat flight simulation possible. You can find the full changelog information here. Enjoy! We are also thrilled to deliver the free Currenthill Assets pack. Each unit features high-resolution textures, Levels of Detail (LOD), animations, FLIR textures, seasonal liveries and encyclopedia entries. Thank you for your passion and support. Yours sincerely, Eagle Dynamics DCS Update Development Progress DCS Core Updates Core AI logic has been improved for both air and ground units. Fixed aircraft AI issues include the F4U-1D’s zero fuel behavior, improved group rocket attacks, tuned heavy aircraft landing angle of attack errors, and aerial refueling improvements. AI fighters using semi-active homing missiles will now respect radar gimbal limits, and helicopter traffic jams when landing at Jalalabad AB have been resolved. Ground AI targeting algorithms for SA-11, SA-2, and SA-3 launchers have also been refined, SAM sites now rearm correctly, and collisions between ground units and parked aircraft have been addressed. Tunguska missile accuracy has also been improved. The Mission Editor (ME) gained a search bar for unit lists to assist when creating missions, and range rings for ground units now respect the ‘Hide Units’ setting. Weapon updates include speed limitations, aerodynamic tuning for AGM-84 variants, seeker logic improvements for AGM-88C, and corrected mass and drag parameters for various ordnance. Additional bomb skins expand visual variety, and proximity fuze logic based on battery power has been corrected, and SNEB rocket effectiveness has been increased. Module-Specific Improvements F-16C Viper Numerous AN/AAQ-33 Advanced Targeting Pod improvements and weapon integration fixes ensure more reliable AGM-65, GBU-24, and LGB employment. F/A-18C Multi-Sensor Integration (MSI) enhancements bring additional datalink and AWACS track functionality. AH-64D Stability improvements for George AI, enhanced target reporting, and new Total Controls keyboard profiles. JF-17 Thunder Radar and HUD refinements and an updated RWR database. OH-58D Kiowa Warrior Cockpit and menu fixes and crash prevention in multiplayer slot switching. MiG-21bis Improved kneeboard data organization for Cold War operations. F4U-1D Corsair Multiple art corrections, sound adjustments, and the addition of a WEP Master On/Off switch. Flaming Cliffs 2024 Su-33 gains new Iraq instant action missions and HS campaign refinements. Afghanistan Development progress The Afghanistan map received extensive terrain mesh, normal maps, vegetation, ground texture, and other terrain improvements. In addition to Points of Interest (POI) areas around airfields and urban areas, the entire map has received a significant improvement in accuracy and realism, including from lower altitudes. An important addition has been the inclusion of Forward Operating Bases Clark, Gardez, Thunder, Tellier, Camp Dubs, and Camp Julien. Additionally, the Patrol bases of Khost and Deysie combat outposts have also been added. These are now highlighted on the Mission Editor and F10 Map View with green triangles. Other notable additions include the Mausoleum of Ahmad Shah Durrani, Kabul’s National Assembly, the Babur Garden, and the Kabul National Stadium. Many of the airbases also saw substantial improvement with more small and large object details, improved texture and lighting, and corrections to ramp and taxiway positions and AI logic. For a more detailed video report, please watch Matt “Wags” Wagner’s August 2025 Update video that discusses the update to the Afghanistan map and a dynamic campaign status report.

Vietnam War Vessels 2.0.0 This release is a major update of the Vietnam War Vessels mod. With VWV 2.0.0 comes a new directory structure, where all assets have a [VWV] prefix in the folder name. This makes it necessary that you first uninstall the old Vietnam War Vessels 1.x.y completely. We welcome the USS Enterprise, CVAN-65, in its 1966 configuration, to the fleet. The first nuclear driven carrier has been derived from the modern USS Enterprise, and takes a place of its own now. The complete launch and parking system has been overhauled, leading to a hopefully more immersive experience. The second new addition to the mod is the A-37 Dragonfly. This iconic aircraft of the Vietnam War is now available for AI use within the virtual DCS sky. Please take a look at the Known Limitations below! Updates, Ships Knox class - FF icons are used instead of DD BB-62 New Jersey - CC map icon in use, better helicopter landing on the deck, new custom shell for main armament CVA Essex and Bon Homme Richard - model improvements, nick name as short display name for Bonnie Dick Many ships - sound updates to gun fire Updates, Planes A-1 Skyraider - split into A-1H (with bridle cat support) and AD-4 (without), add Napalm bombs from A-4E-C mod, add toilet bombs to all pylons, rework flight model to take off from Essex ‘44 with 70% loadout H-2 Seasprite - use of a new model, split into SH-2F, UH-2A, UH-2B, UH-2C classes MiG-21MF overhauled nose gear, support for RATO take-offs O-1 Bird Dog, add engine nozzle definition, Flight Model change for more realistic take-off RA-5C Vigilante - Flight Mode change, more lift at low speed Known Limitations CVA-31 Bon Homme Richard - Player controlled helicopters slightly move forward on the flight deck F-8 Crusader - Aircraft is intended as static and for limited AI operations - Player control is experimental at best, but largely untested and unsupported - Carrier launch and landing operations are not supported for player aircraft, only AI - Unknown how to drop bombs as player aircraft - Variable incidence wing is not enabled - Collision shell not reliable under player control - Nose wheel rotation disabled MiG-17F "Fresco-C" - Player control is almost untested and unsupported - Collision shell not reliable under player control - Damage susceptible when placed as static H-2 Seasprite - Wheels don't touch the ship deck - Landing gear is deployed multiple kilometers away from landing spot Fletcher Class Destroyers with FRAM II upgrade - Bridge and mast are WWII style RA-5C Vigilante - The plane is too large for regular parking spots, best to use as single plane on the runway MiG-21MF "Fishbed-C" - Textures are work in progress - Gear up location is pretty bad A-1 Skyraider - The new bridle disappears during launch - The precision of dropping Napalm is abysmal - Takes off like a spaceship from land - Tiny Tim rockets seem never to be launched A-37 Dragonfly - Flight model is raw and has not been tested much - Only one pilot ejects, ejection somewhat broken O-1 Bird Dog - The propeller blur is static CVAN-65 Enterprise - Catapult hookup spotty, sometimes planes start to drift - Parking spotty, some planes start to drift - Probable inability to sync INS when taking off cold - RA-5C and F-14 Tomcat slightly too large for safe aircraft operations when taxiing - The shoot power of the catapults seems insufficient at times - No support for night operations, e.g. no lights Download (Github): https://github.com/tspindler-cms/tetet-vwv/releases Alternative download (Google Drive): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/16pUuupD08L36KnD6vDel5VRlmwwftX5o?usp=drive_link Enjoy, The Vietnam War Vessels team

(Ignore the rear main wheel that all of the sudden started rotating weirdly lol, already fixed that) front land gear 22.mp4

Further adjustment of wheel heights and compression: Also, added the missing part and positioned it in proper place: @YoYo I know its probably still not 100% correct, but is this good enough?

Armed Blackhawk v6.0 released: Armed Blackhawk v6.0

Is it possible to publish the manual earlier, before the EA version is released? So I can read it then before ?

Given the fact there is a FAQ on their Discord, but not in this forum I've decided to copy it in here so people can find it better. From the FAQ on Airplane Simulation Company Discord as by August the 2. : Q. Which variants are planned? A. Stage 1- C-130J Block 6.5 Hercules, Tactical airlifter C-130J-30, Lockheed Martin designation for its 15 ft (4.6 m) extended fuselage variant; designated CC-130J by USAF for a short time after 2002., Release timeline to be confirmed for the following at a later date: MC-130J, Designed for Air Force Special Operations Command. Originally named Combat Shadow II., Q. Are the C130H or legacy models planned? A. No. Q. What is the expected release date? A. By the end of 2025. Q. Will the C-130J be able to transport weapons? A. We intend for the C-130 to be able to carry any warehouse items between bases. Q. CNI/FMS? A. Yes, a fully simulated FMS is included. We have also modeled airways/SIDS/stars, etc. Q. MOAB? A. Yes! Q. Will there be an AC variant? A. Depending on sales, we will consider an AC / Harvest Hawk in the future. Q. Airdrops? A. Yes for cargo and vehicles. Paratroops will be added when ED puts them in game. Q. Multicrew? A. Yes, at least 3. Q. Cargo Loading/Unloading without needing scripts? A. Yes. Any cargo dropped or landed will be added to the DCS warehouse system. Q. What defensive systems will the plane have? A. The plane will have an RWR, MWS, and IIRCM systems. The fidelity levels of these are limited by both the availability of unclassified information on those systems, as well as DCS itself. Q. What skins will be available? A. The list is unconfirmed at the time as there are so many national operators, but the artist will produce a paintkit in the future, after release, for livery makers. Q. Will we add the fuel probe? A. Possibly in future after initial release Hope this one will prevent some confusion and give answers to people who aren't using Discord. As soon as a more official FAQ arrives, this one can be closed and put into archives.

I have no problem with the changes in terms of security for the general DCS user. I have a HUGE problem with this being just dropped on all of us who run or help manage servers with no notice. This should have been a preview build weeks (preferably months) in advance for us to be able to make changes and be ready for. Instead we're stuck with our players going "why isn't the server updated" and we have to tell them "ED broke stuff again, we will get to it when we can."

Apology accepted, hopefully v1.2 will be released soon and the training missions will be an integral part of the Mod download, currently I’m finishing the last two missions: the Rockets and Bombing ones. I modified them to not need the Target Range objects Mod, in order to simplify the installation of the T-45 Mod. Best regards, Eduardo

No, research alone for the Zero has been going on for an incredibly long time. It was more about making sure we could do it to the expected level that people expect from a DCS Warbird. We were happy to have M3 doing a module that will fit in nicely with the Hellcat and Zero, but they were not held for the release of any other module. Thanks!

I will quote Wags here from our discord to give some more insight https://discord.com/channels/542985647502393346/543014378643914752/1403419297602338876 Thank you

To answer directly though: yes, there will be some folks posting videos over the next days/weeks.

I wouldn't say there's much of a gamble involved here. Although as the person who wrote most of the code, I am slightly biased.

Folks please don't derail the thread with subscription chatter, we have said many times in the past its not something that will work for DCS, and we have no plans for it. Topic here is Pacific Operations Assets Pack | Mission Save Development Progress | New Free Trials thank you

I just fail to see how a $15 asset pack would split or fragment anything. We all have to pay for our toys. And if "the community" don't want to be split, fragmented, rent asunder, folded, bent, or discombobulated, they'll simply have to cough up the 15 dollar-e-doos like the rest of us. Also, and I'll end it here, I've had this discussion before. The end result was I posted that I had two free WWII assets packs to give away. And another guy had one to offer after my two were taken. Three free WWII asset packs total were offered. The exact amount of people who asked for the free WWII assets packs after a few days was... none at all. That was the cherry on the cake of my views of "the split community". That said, I wish you a good day and happy flying.

You can bind the 1 axis to all 4, split them across 2, or have 4 individual binds. The world is your oyster.

hi guys , With the precious help of HAGEN and holydays starting , the pit is on good tracks ! here are some pics !
