Not sure how much more i wish to do with this mod, expect a v4.0 final soon :) In the meantime, heres another building texture update

Here is that tweak guide EtherealN is referring to: link But before you dive in to tweaking: you say you are happy with the frame rate you have now, and only have a problem when you have the shkval on. There are quite a few threads on that topic and there isn't a lot you can do about the frame drop (unless ED makes DCS really work with mutiple cores). Till then, zooming in to your shkval/maverick screen and only look down in to your cockpit when you have it on saves you from having too much of a frame hit.

Заранее хочу попросить прощения у фанатов ГС2 за то, что подвергну критике эту игру. Просто наболело. За что я отдал почти 40 баксов? 1. За лаги, т.е. за то, что в сетевой игре, после атаки цели, начинает лагать так, что я не могу справится с управлением и разбиваюсь. Я далеко не новичок в игре. Да, возможно, у меня комп недостаточно мощный, но тогда на какую аудиторию расчитывали маркетологи разработчиков? Кто из новичков будет юзать лаги? Вам же нужны деньги. Вы же хотели привлечь как можно больше народа для игры. И что получили? Как довольно немолодой человек, играющий только в ЛО, хочу сказать, что вы получили..... стыд и срам. Попробую обосновать: 2. Графика. Вы говорили, что графика будет супер. Деревья, птицы, в кустах можно будет рассмотреть божьих коровок, а что получили? Да все вроде бы нормально получили. Но. Приходится почти все отключать, чтобы полетать нормально(возможно только у меня, но я по-прежнему отношу себя к новечкам) Вопрос, для кого вы все это создавали? 20 человек в мире получили то, что хотели. 3. А что нового в игре? Да не фига. Нарисовали ИЛС на Су- 25Т, добавили кружочек. И что еще? Реальной видимости не оплучилось. Активные ракеты стали летать лучше, тупо изменили несколько параметров в файлах и усе, деньги сделаны. Может еще что-то есть, но честно говоря, даже вспоминать не хочется. Полное разочерование. Вывод.Я умею читать, и на форуме народ уже высказывался на эту тему. Я лишь хотел сказать, что ваша новая игра полное фуфло! НО. Буду играть, т.к. банально, нормальной альтернативы просто нет. И вы этим хорошо пользуетесь. Так за что я отдал 40 баксов? Такое чувство, что я просто лох. Как-то коротко получилось, хотя мог бы говорить часами на эту тему. Просто спешу. Времени стало катострофически мало. Появляется свободный часок, захожу в игру, отдохнуть, получить удовольствие, а получаю.... сплошной пипец за свои же 40 баксов)))

A little bump :) A new video with Polish Su-22M4. Watching in HD highly recommended :)

I believe many have missed this preview of DCSW from February 2009. I think it answers a lot of frequently asked questions. Unfortunately, I couldn't find an English text, so this is Google-translated from Russian an corrected a bit (but it's still full of babblefishisms. I believe it was quite work-in-progress at that time, so there should be some differences, but I hope you'll still find it useful. A-10C Warthog Attack aircraft A-10C - an enhanced version of the famous A-10A, which served as a major air support aircraft parts Air Force U.S. for almost 30 years. A-10C - this is A-10A in the 21 st century, using systems such as Multi-Color Display (MFCD), weapons with GPS-guidance and supports data-link. Retaining all the features of previous versions, A-10C has turned into an instrument for the application of precision strikes with the most modern guidance systems, precision weapons (Maverick, JDAM and laser-guided bombs), and integrated navigation system based on GPS. A-10C has participated in operations in Iraq and Afghanistan proved to be a precise and effective weapon in the war on terrorism, while its advanced equipment have greatly reduced the number of incidents of "friendly fire" - thanks largely to the information system SADL and opportunities to identify targets with using the upgraded systems aiming. Despite the fact that a lot of navigation and weapons systems, A-10C have been replaced, most of the rest remained the same as in older models. Engines, fuel, hydraulic and emergency systems, communications, lighting and protection do not differ from those in the latest versions of A-10A. As with previous version, A-10C is very easy to fly and stable in flight and in the application of weapons. Some of the noteworthy systems A-10C: Multifunction Color Display (MFCD) The front of the A-10C are two MFCD, which can display information from various aircraft systems (DTS, TAD, DSMS, TGP, a video from Maverick missiles, etc.). They allow much more rapid and intuitive way to convey to the pilot the necessary information and make it significantly increased during the same time. Each MFCD size is 5x5 inches (12.7 x 12.7 cm) and 5 buttons on each of 4 sides. The functions of these keys depend on the selected context. Tactical Awareness Display (TAD) TAD displays the top view of the current tactical situation using symbols that represent your current position (Ownship), snap point (Bullseye), Centre of Attention Sensor (SPI), the current point of the route, active flag, symbols, data-link'a or active flight plan and range circles. TAD may be designated "lead sensor, which will designate the help of the focus sensor (SPI), using a cursor, controlled by joysticks on the HOTAS, allowing the pilot to" hook the "symbols on the display. When enabled information exchange system (data-link), the display also displays the location of allied and enemy forces. Also, the display can be configured to display a moving map using the appropriate nautical tables. The display always shows TAD cursor, which can be controlled by HOTAS, if the TAD is selected as the lead sensor. Digital Stores Management System (DSMS) DSMS replaces the old arms control panel (ACP) A-10A, which was located on the front panel. All settings weapon settings reset and control of various types of weapons are now performed using the regime DSMS MFCD. DSMS provides pilot overview map of arms hanging on each pylon, its status, the currently selected pylon, the state of general safety, the status of internal cannon GAU-8 and the current profile for each weapon. DSMS also contains a separate page, which gives the pilot the ability to browse, select and edit profiles and parameters for the use of weapons, such as reset interval and the number of missiles in the volley of the variety of weapons. Each of the combinations of these parameters is called a profile. These profiles can be selected either from the page DSMS, from the HUD or using the HOTAS. DSMS provides the ability to selectively reset the suspension on any pylon and the launcher. In DSMS also present a few pages to set up regimes and power supply missiles AIM-9, and AGM-65.

Targeting Pod (TGP) Suspended targeting pod Litening AT provides an opportunity to review, tracking and target illumination. He has three display modes: optical range (from CCD) and infrared camera (FLIR) in the modes of direct and reverse contrast. The main modes of TGP include "Air-Land» (AG), «-air» (AA) and "Waiting» (Standby). Each of these modes has a corresponding control page, making it possible to adjust the parameters of TGP. Thus, MFCD mode TGP has 6 different pages. Embedded GPS/INS (Global Positioning System/Inertial Navigation System) (EGI) System EGI - the main navigation tool A-10C, which provides opportunities for accurate determination of coordinates (including altitude and spatial orientation) anywhere in the world. From EGI There are two main panels: display unit and control (CDU) and the auxiliary panel (AAP). The process of working with EGI is based on work with a set of waypoints loaded into the CDU. This database is usually created in advance in the editor job, but can be retrofit and in-flight. The memory can store up to 2,077 navigation points. CDU is located on the right console over the AAP and provides opportunities for bilateral interaction with the navigation system EGI. It consists of a display, eight buttons, select options (LSK), six function keys (FSK), an alphanumeric keyboard and a few switches and buttons. APP is also located on the right console at CDU and is used to control power systems CDU and EGI. It consists of two switches and two rotary switches and one push button.

Is ED planning on building a complete global map? like fsx has. i know its a combat simulator, but it also works great as a "Just fly from A to B sim" and tbh, i dont need it to be detailed down to the last grass straw, as long as i manage to navigate in the airspace i know, through lakes, roads and cities i dont need a massive level of detail... and for further DCS expansions, just do what 3rd party expansions for FSX does... use a basic world map and just detail the operation areas a bit more... fsx`s ORBX would be the perfect thing to compare it with... just a wishful thought :P

Really Pretty - Good Job M8 :)

Согласен. Повреждения техники прописаны ужасно. На форуме все требуют АФМ для леталок. Вот что-то подобное нужно и наземке. К примеру в стратегии Faces of war и гусеници рвутся, и башню с танков срывает, и движки горят, но танк стреляет... Кроме того меня удивляет, почему уничтоженый мост, в котором кроме железа и бетона ничего нету, горит несколько минут, а уничтоженная боевая машина с несколькими сотнями литров топлива и десятками снарядов несколько секунд?

Protos mud moving is the whole point of any air force. Air to air only exists to enable friendly a-g missions to be carried out and prevent the enemy doing the same. An air force's reason for existence is to support ground forces. The ability to have ground units on the terrain and a-g missions is not just important, it's essential. A-A is a means to an end, not the end itself.

Really? Which aircombat planes do you know of, that travel around the world for a fight? X-plane and FS-series are civilian aircraft simulators that are designed to simulate long-range flights, intercontinental flights or simply sight-seeing-tours in your own neighborhood or at any place of interest. DCS is designed to simulate air-to-air combat or air-to-ground combat. As combat usually takes place in a rather limited area, the current system is much more suited for this simulation than a world-map. Naturally the interests of both categories are largely different.

What? No concern for the AG proponents? I'm shocked... Ground interdiction missions are very important. Don't know the split between AG and AA but I'm sure it's pretty balanced.

Ну вот скажи по правде. Ведь новая версия игры - фуфло. Я прав?

Sorry to say this, but Protos: I think I can see that you are not a software engineer. ;) I'd say there are probably very specific hurdles involved due to the fact that things have to actually fight on the terrain, and do so in a predictable manner and in a way that the computer can handle. Completely aside from the detail of generating the terrain, that is, to a sufficiently detailed degree that it is both qualitative and "good enough" to allow ground interdiction missions (which I guess would be the objective of having such a radically expanded map) to have any point.

A quick suggestions: do the "water tweak" if you haven't already. Basically you change a value in a setting file to a value that is not supported through the "real" options interface. This can save you a bit. There is also an article somewhere by Frazer about tweaking DCS:BS which generally applies well to FC2 as well.

Good question, I suggest searching the forum ... I do not think you can get a whole lot of relief for this particular issue unfortunately. As for SF, the DRM is from the same company but of different nature; rather than installing a driver, it just performs an online activation of your product when you start it up. It is called Frontline ProActive IIRC.

Global terrain is a good idea for DCS as it opens up the Aircombat to its fullest potential. I think its quite possible that ED could add Global terrain if they wanted too and I would not be surprised if it became the next thing that all sims have. Currently there is FSX and Xplane plus FO in development which are going to have this feature. With Google Earth and other sources I can imagine that it'll be someday in DCS. The advantages are that Virtual Squadrons could be based in home countrys, you could have conflicts and dynamic campaigns running Globally and alliances could add politics to the way in which wars are fought online. It would be good to have the SDK released so that people can expand DCS further into ship and tank combat and possibly even FPS. With FSX you can download terrain mods which make it very close to how it looks IRL so even if EDs too buisy to make the terrain more detailed I'm sure someone would probably make some payware or freeware terrain mods. Also if they did expand into a Global map they should also tap into the void left by FSXs devs and make civ aircraft as well.

Speak for yourself ;)

Тогда, наверное, логичным будет огласить список требований/рекомендаций/ограничений, или каких других критериев годности, а то счас начнётся...

99% sure this will never happen.

each has its own USB cable

=RAF=hawk1: А свои миссии для РАФа можно будет предложить? (Вопрос на будущее, у меня пока миссий нет)

Hi zdXu, Please find answers below. Yes, you should contact tower with standard requests foreseen by simulator engine. If tactical officer asks you to switch to tower - you no doubt should do that - otherwise mission will not be recognized as complete. It will happen in nearly every mission but scores (%) for obeying landing procedure will be given only in last missions (meaning you can't score 100% without correct approach, landing and parking) of this part of VG campaign. However, this will be a rule for all missions in subsequent parts of VG project. 1/10th part is the easiest one. VG campaign does not modify player's capacity to use DCS: Ka-50 BS. You will be able to share tracks, debriefings and screenshots. It will be difficult only to modify the missions in built-in editor. Of course, one should not share the campaign itself. This is a commercial product. Your payment means support for further project development. The plan is to publish 10 parts (chapters) of campaign 20 missions each. Today we have scenario for 186 missions. 20 missions cost $4. Payment via LiqPAY system (more info at www.liqpay.com). Purchase procedure should not be difficult. You can download missions after payment was conducted. You'll be prompted for e-mail to where you will get the download link. 20 missions take up 45Mb - mostly radiocommunications files plus pictures and instructions (briefings). Totally 306 sound files in the missions (one file can be monologue or dialogue of any length). This is technical info that recon equipments is using. It is no use for the mission - image is the single important thing - as justification of engaging weapons in the mission. This is plan of the operation. Part of combat order. The order was coordinated with specialists of recon and combat planning departments. Tactical plan is coordinated with flight plan (FP). This is seen from other maps as well. Keeping to FP and orders is a must! Actions beyond FP will not lead to mission success. In reality pilot will be tried by a military tribunal for unauthorized activities resulting in career finish and long imprisonment sentence. The worst scenario could be lost of combat unit, death of pilot, other officers and soldiets involved into operation. Mission 018 is very difficult if entered without completing previous missions. All missions are expected to be passed in a given order. Objectives might be changing (compared to initial plan) while in air in some missions - this is always warranted by Tactical deparment officer.

То что я написал действительно нелепо отсюда и смешно. А вот то что настройки осей в плане кривых разные об этом я сразу не подумал :doh: Просто видимо не такой хардкорщик:joystick:

T+LAlt Oil in the water! So fly or die!

Сделай.

:poster_ban:

Несколько вопросов по игре: 1. Видит ли ИИ освещённый самолёт ночью лучше, чем неосвещённый? 2. Есть ли разница в уровне тяги при манёвре от ракеты с ИК ГСН? 3. Влияют ли облака(туман) на что-нибудь, кроме видимости игрока? 4. Влияет ли скорость колонны на марше на точность её стрельбы? 5. Влияет ли состояние ВПП (дождь, снег) на длину тормозного пути самолёта? 6. Есть ли время реакции ЗРК и ПЗРК после того как они же засекли цель (особенно ПЗРК - ведёт огонь сразу когда в зоне поражения, или есть время подготовки к неожиданно появившейся цели)?

Hawk109 Большое Спасибо!

you will just be missing one rocker switch and the day, night, off rotary switch

Wags has already said (in the simHQ interview IIRC) that the TM MFDs will be plug and play just like the HOTAS Warthog. No programming required.

when you have dual engines ;)

Пресловутые +15 сек и 40км прожига в подарок еаглдрайверам от ЕД:music_whistling: Теперь да, это гораздо сложнее.

Hi, ... hm ... what should I say. Everybody knows that I`m really not a fan about higly counted models. In past I tryed to build my models with about less them 20.000 triangles. But now ED gave us the new engine and that works well. I wondered how it was possible to build so higly detailed cars and trucks without got`ing issues with performances. And so I had to realize that in future models have to show more details while using a lot of more triangles. So for examble an fully loaded Su-25 uses arround 60-70.000 triangles and it works well without any problems. I tryed to bring some little more details into my model. Here I rendered some little impressions: Uploaded with ImageShack.us That`s 40.000 triangles. Hm... Now I now that really "high detailed" models are possible as well and I really hope that a good crew`s just like 3 GO or Gyss, Yenicery or alll the other guys started to bring us so fantastic models they did in past :thumbup: My best wishes, TOM

Some country with modern cities, seaports, skyscrapers, shopping malls, multi-storey car parks, huge industrial areas, multi level intersections, etc. Taiwan was my favorite in EECH. I'd just love to take-off from a parking lot in some suburb, do a 50km flight to other side of the city, blow up some tanks hiding under road underpasses, artillery battery in golf course, a MANPADS team on a parking lot of a burger joint and provide close air support for infantry fighting house to house in some residential area.

I can't imagine my flying without TIR anymore. I would rather take cheap joystick and TIR if I'd be you. TrackIR is something that you have to learn how to use it first which can be hard if you use small monitor. I remember my first trying of TIR - I had a real bad headake. But It took me only two days getting used to it.

I bet in reality if I traveled there, I would see graffiti on the buildings.. just sayin.. :megalol:

В качестве превью: Сфоткал не много, всего 9 интересных фотографий. Качать тут: http://max.in.ua/su25pit.zip

Wow, this is amazing work! I think I speak for all of us here when I say that ED needs to give Mustang a job in their texture department, stat!!!! :smartass: -Mack

Yeah, the Mod is compatible with both FC2 & BS. Excellent work Mustang, keep it up. Nate

They look pretty good to me! :thumbup:

These structures have proven difficult to texture, just getting them to look right, especially that scaffolding running down the sides of each building, it took me a while to figure out what they were. I'm undecided on these textures, but i kinda think they look the part....

Wow. Just wow. I'm-a-guessin' someone's working toward being a part of the ED texturing team...?:P Awesome stuff again, Mustang. Makes it all the more engaging and immersive when flying at low level. :thumbup:

Very nice work Mustang :thumbup:

Awesome work! Another great contribution to the community.

wrong. It's a .rar :music_whistling:

Outstanding Mustang! The 104th colours are flying high! we are all lucky to have such talent in you. Thanks 'T'

I love the way in wich we Poles change in translation meaning of many movies, books and... F-16s. Do You want to know name of polish Falcon? "Jastrzab" - means Hawk :doh: . Don't know why they have done that... There was a competion for the name. The propositions were really funny. Best one: "predatory potato beetle". I'm not kidding! Ask Shaman. Man... I leave this without commentary. Cheers!
