This mod simply replaces all the trees that produce shadows in DCS with ones that do not - good for those who need all the FPS they can get :) LINK REMOVED: tree shadows can now be turned on or off via options menu in v1.1.1.1 onwards.

DCS: Birds Of Spray?

Hallelujah for FC3!!! I will repeat my old words. FC2 is the most realistic sim out there even thou u dont have accurate flight models the variety of different aircrafts makes the multiplayer Environment more realistic then any modern air combat sims. FC3 is very much welcomed, from my point of view FC3 will be the game that will make the Multiplayer community very pleased witch will give ED more time to develop even more accurate flight models while we are all happy:) At the moment multiplayer community are using all of FC2 potentials and a little bit more. For example Georgian multiplayer campaign would not be able to run whit out FC2, since there is not enough aircrafts in DCS at the moment to run a full scale campaign where everyone from bomber, chopper, fighter pilots can interact in same theater against each other. Witch is possible because FC2 has red and blue aircrafts witch makes the multiplayer incounters mutch more interesting and keeps the interest of the game. The point is if ED will decide to release only fighters and bombers for one side they will become no difrent from othere developers. Thank you ED. http://www.51st.org/campaign/ Jippy!!!

ED is making some good money, we can look forward to a bright future :) Even with just the latest BS2 release, they are running out of places to store their cash- I recently discovered that some intrepid developer had stuffed the equipment bays of the Ka-50 full of dollar bills.

I've always disliked the default wingtip vapor texture used in ED's jet titles, so when the texture was (finally) located, I went to work trying to make something to replace it. After a few tries I found something I liked. Originally this was made to accompany the VBA team mod, but since we're not using it and everyone can benefit from it... it should be public! Happy flying! Also, don't forget about: VFAT 2011 Download: http://www.lockonfiles.com/index.php/files/file/2111-thin-wingtip-vapor/ (Note that this will not make wingtip vapor align with the wingtips of custom models... so if you have that problem, you're still out of luck. For that situation, I'd recommend Blaze's "no vapor" mod.) Here's a more representative screenshot, courtesy of Sawamura of the VAT Berkuts.

Shouldn't we remember that DCS:Next Fighter was specifically listed as being developed "in parallel" with the other projects ? How is that potential slippage or not maximum effort ? I'm curious (although I expect the answer is obvious) how many forum posters would refrain from buying DCS:Next Fighter simply because it came out after DCS:Flying Legends(1). I'd be surprised if it was even one person. We have a rough estimate of when DCS:FL will be available - we have no information regarding DCS:Next Fighter. They "surprised" a lot of people with the release of BS2 (yes, let's not talk about the price, just this once huh) - who's to say there won't be a nice early 2012 or Xmas 2011 surprise release of Next Fighter (would be great huh ? ;)) I could understand it if these statements were buried under pages of other announcements and obfuscated in odd language, but they aren't. We're also aware that Matt isn't personally creating these titles on his own and therefore it's entirely possible (however small anyone "suspects" ED is) that there are plenty of aircraft developers to go around :thumbup: I work pretty hard as a developer (not for ED) and I expect a certain amount of misunderstanding or misrepresentation as to how much effort goes into particular features, or how long a bug will take to be fixed, or whether I truly understand what User A or User B would like - FROM the general user population of the various applications I'm involved with - but I would find it extremely insulting that, when faced with information directly from myself, they basically turned around and said to my face "hey - we don't believe you" or "hey - I think you're not capable of getting this stuff done at all, even though I don't know how you do it currently". Thankfully - in the part of the industry I work in, people just don't do that. They ask for things (badly in a lot of cases, or at least without knowing exactly what it is they're looking for :music_whistling:) - they demand other things, which we talk about and, if necessary, give them information as to how or why that isn't possible or not likely in the short term. They never insult us by suggesting we don't know how/why or what we're doing. Payment or not is how we define our main interaction with our users. ED are no different in that regard. To suggest they are less than capable of defining what they want to do or how they wish to proceed (without being a direct member of their staff) is truly insulting. :( I buy ED sims - I play ED sims - I don't play MP at the moment. I haven't taken part in a poll (here or on any other forum). I'm probably one of many people who, at least up until now for me, quietly go about their sim-time, buying things they like and never mentioning that it all works for them or they enjoy it as is or are happy to pay for the next thing when it's out and meantime will continue with what they have. Unfortunately these people are likely the silent majority of customers for ED, who will therefore have other business means they rely on for gauging their requirements (outside of this forum.):) Passion is a wonderful thing, but lets all try not to passionately convince the people creating things we might like to play that we're not worth talking to, as we take everything out to some extreme or other ;) (great - another post complaining about forum stuff - just shoot me now - I'm clearly no good for anything else!)

I agree, it is much more pleasant without trees shadows !

Yeah, no offense :) When we finally got it to fly, the mission was nice. The SA-3 is ... Challenging :) But once we figured it out, it was a doody to take out. The Tunguska on the other hand was hard to detect and take care of.. My game crashed in the middle, when the blue forces commenced their assault, another "Effects.dll" crash.. not related to the mission it self, I get it elsewhere as well. ---------- About the download, it was no problem to download from the DCS site for ourselves. But it didn't matter... When connecting to the server, the game said: "Loading mission" ... for 5-10 minutes.. Where are we supposed to copy the downloaded mission files?

LostOblivion - You might need to convert from stereo to mono first if having trouble exporting to ogg, but it should work fine. HUGE difference over wav. file size. Another tip, in Audacity, go to "Tracks" menu, then "Reample". Convert from the default 44100hz to lowest 8,000hz. That will cut the ogg file in almost half right there, and I believe it also degrades the quality slighly to where it sounds more like an actual radio call. My .ogg files are now usually between 30 KB to 100 KB each. I've got missions with 40 voice overs and the miz file is down to 4 MB, big, but manageable.

To be fair, you don't know that for sure.

Not a worry. You can design a mission any way you want. Also, BS2 and A10C are not really fighter, player vs player aircraft are they? So, it does not matter much. BS has been in FC for a while now and there no problems from the BS being more complex. Now, if you put a Su-27 from FC against a DCS:F-18, then we may have a problem.

Nicely said!!! +1

Thank you very much for this. Those big black blotches in the distance are no more!

Wooha - The next LOCERF will be a huge fun! And these days we have way more hog-pilots since back then.

I don't know but the "DSC legend" might be related to TFC as I know they have a wide collection of WW2 planes, maybe ED is making a sim for TFC and planing to release its public version as well...just a wild guess though...anyways am eager to put my hands on FC3..and the MiG-29 :)

Guys, no need to call each other names. Discussion is fine, but keep it civil.

You really like to moan don't you. Nate

I don't think so i think that this topic have been forgotten by evryone who likes more WWII aircraft ..

Don't people EVER get tired of whining ??!! :no_sad: Please list for me the COMBAT simulations, that ED have released, where you just fly around ? Do you complain like this in everyday life ? That must be fun! :thumbup: THIS is why they usually keep quiet about what they're doing - heaven forbid one of the 5 things on the list is late/missing next year - the rest of us are not going to hear the end of it from people who should just get over themselves! Amazing - couple of posts here and I stoop to complaining about complainers - the irony :lol: Personally, I'm looking forward to pretty much everything on the list - ED produce study sims, so apart from FC3 I'm expecting more buttons than you can shake a stick at. I bought the BS2 "upgrade" (£12.50, wow, expensive! There goes this week's fish and chips :doh:) and some of the other items look like they'll be offered at around the same price, which is fine by me. I'll be buying everything on this list unless there's a truly compelling reason not to (they kill a puppy with every sale, for instance). Can't wait to find out what the DCS: Next Jet will be too :D

Слав, почти во всем согласен, кроме одного, а конкретно в "методе обезопасить", единственное что надо - надежный механизм идентификации клиента и все... пусть читерят, до первого бана, а потом в магазин за новой копией игры, надоест быстро... К тому же в данном конкретном случае мы имеем дело с банальным хулиганством, а не читерством, несмотря на то, что для хулиганства используются недокументированные особенности игры. P.S. не уверен конечно, но кажется, что с А-10С дела обстоят не лучше, просто за него еще никто всерьез не брался, смысла не много, против кого читерить, против ботов?:doh:

Ищи в Document and Settings,а дальше примерно там же.

Hello Anyone else remember this link posted previously on the forum. (sorry dude can't remember your name to credit.) https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=cca19efe2a6e2f5156dfa589bfe15e89&tab=core&tabmode=list&= "Must be a desktop trainer and allow for accurate battlefield simulation during day and night conditions specifically with use of the IR pointer and allows for accurate Litening targeting pod usage to include Full Motion Video downlink and Laser marking/terminal guidance operations-providing for realistic training over a wider range of joint fires scenarios. Must have an emphasis on close air support for JTAC training and specifically replicate TYPE I,II,III controls in the virtual environment." And this old youtube vid Just love it.

шифрануть все конфиги и луа 128 битным ключом? ну ну надо копать в другом направлении, но это направление начинается с "создание все с 0", на что я думаю идти ни кто не захочет. В принципе, если грамотно разбить "читерские настройки" от локальных настроек пользователя, то можно чуток себя обезопасить, но чет мне кажется сама архитектура слишком открыта. И если порезать известные дыры найдутся новые

Для win7 C:\Users\имя пользователя\Сохранённые игры\DCS Warthog просто переименуй её, чтоб мог вернуть при надобности.

Microsoft Flight released May 2012? Came across this website: http://games.gamepressure.com/screenshots_list.asp?ID=10342 Release date: May 2012. No idea if this is accurate at the moment...........;) This website refers to February 2012 for the US release: http://www.gameshadow.com/gamepedia/3393a/microsoft_flight/ Has anyone an idea about the releasedate of MS Flight?

Можно ещё миссию по захвату конвоя "иностранных инструкторов" на хаммерах с хитрой электроникой внутри :) Задача Ка-50 - уничтожить охранение конвоя и поддержать спецназ в захвате хаммеров. А потом ещё и сопроводить захваченную технику до своих. А в предыдущей вылете сопроводить "головастика", который должен высадить эту самую группу спецназа для организации засады на конвой. Чёрт, сумбурно получилось :)

В наше время кино меньше чем 720p с нормальным звуком смотреть стыдно.

i wonder how they will help the jtac assess the targets lat/long or coordinates for the 9-line? how do they do it in real life? awesome news though!!

You are not playing the right missions than. There's quite a few missions out there with TIC calls and smoke being used to designate a target or simply having to fly low and visually check out tree lines or look for tracers in order to find a target and when you do it's a strung out group of infantry so your GPS bomb isn't going to help any. No AI JTAC at all, just inventive and immersive use of triggers and the editor.

+1 As I said in my previous post, I would really like to know about this as well.

Stock and unedited BS2. Just showing off some of the new shadows.

Why guess, people? I like how everyone just glosses over a real answer in favor of making one up... :doh:

Probably before the time of many members here, but revisiting the game play options of "Chuck Yeager's Air Combat" will be interesting for many.

Flying Legends?? Oh come on, we have already IL2 and CoD for that... The rest looks good. I'm looking forward to it! Regards!

Wow! Excellent news! Thanks to Wags to share their roadmap! :thumbup:

I've got the same problem with Tacview 1.0 on DCS A-10 1.1.1.0 and BS2. Some Object_Type referenced in the export script are no more defined in the DCS database (the script could not be executed). To fix it, until an official patch from the Tacview team, I've commented the following lines in the "DCS A-10C\Config\Export\TacviewExportDCS.lua" export script file (i.e. append -- at their beginning): (l.83) -- [wsTypeAutogun] = 0x2c, -- Infantry (l.84) -- [wsTypeSoldier_AK] = 0x2c, -- Infantry (l.85) -- [wsTypeSandbox] = 0x89, -- Building (l.86) -- [wsTypeBunker] = 0x89, -- Building (l.91) -- [wsTypeRPG] = 0x2c, -- Infantry (l.92) -- [wsTypeSoldier_RPG] = 0x2c, -- Infantry (l.97) -- [wsTypePredator_TrojanSpirit] = 0x28, -- Light/Unarmed vehicles (l.98) -- [wsTypePredator_GCS] = 0x28, -- Light/Unarmed vehicles I hope it will work for you on Tacview 1.1.

Вот по этому особо и не тороплюсь обновление ставить! Ждем лучших времен.

Полетал в версию 10. Одно расстройство. В 9 патче у меня был фпс 25-40 и ошибки вываливались крайне редко, в основном в онлайн. В десятке миссии отказывались загружатся, выкидывая ошибки от память не может быть реад, до ошибки в модуле dxrender.exe. Скинул все настройки на минимум, и немного полетал. В миссии фпс 10-25, игра крешится через 20 мин.

Пехота замечательно может пощипать Акулу, если окажется в зоне огня. Ибо в нашем симуляторе шмаляет из своих калашей КПВТ-шным патроном ;) Против любителей ползать на Акуле на высоте 9 метров - самое оно. Практически незаметна с воздуха, но если в городке или лесочке разместить этакий стрелковый взвод, рыл в 20-30, и окажется над ними Акула низенько - только перья полетят. На Сибири, в миссии В0 пехота ведет в городе уличные бои. И не дай бог оказаться в этот момент над ними - порвут. Единственный выход - перепахивать кварталы НАРами по квадратам. Или облетать сторонкой.

да что вы к этим магазинам то прицепились? пехота в симуляторе вообще бесполезная единица хоть сколько ей патронов дай, за исключением ПЗРК. Я конечно не знаю - можеть быть в ЧА2 пехоте отвели особую роль? а так по ЧА1 пехота-пепел.

Хммм, вы уверены, что носимый БК у махора по штату 450 на ствол? Навскид, 4 магазина плюс в сколько то в обоймах. Остальное либо на пункте боепитания взвода - роты, либо в броне. И там и там в цинках. При этом, опять же, навскид при себе патронов 180 - 200 максимум. Общий БК вкупе с тем что на пункте боепитания вполне может оказаться 450 на ствол АК-74. Это по штату. В зоне БД как обычно, бардак. Кто сколько натырить успел магазинов. Но в, общем то, могло и таскаться 450 патронов у пехотнца. Спецразведка ЕМНИП при себе на выходы таскала по 600 патронов на ствол. Четыре в магазинах, что то обоймах. Остальное в пачках в разгрузе или в РД. Может с середины 90х что то и поменялось но на те времена практически уверен, что так и было. PS. Что было у Вованов и разнообразных ОМОНов с СОБРами и ППСниками МВД не знаю. Не интересовался.

Yes, nice picture..

:smilewink: I really have to do some kind of things like that to "sleek the waves". But not till next week... this week is EDITORTIME! :joystick: Edit: and if you really want to donate... PayPal is my friend. ;) admin@spare-time-pilots.de

Классный дизайн!:thumbup:

Really? I play WoT and have never had a Premium account. I paid a small amount to get me started, which I used to get some extra room to store more tanks, and later after much playing, used to purchase 1 premium tank (as it was cheap at the time). I've never bought ammo either (I'm assuming you are referring to the premium ammo). If you want to play it at higher level, getting involved with the clan wars then Premium ammo would be needed. Otherwise, you can pay almost nothing and still really enjoy WoT.

Печально читать эту тему - все превращается в какую-то междоусобицу, а проблема тем временем остается :(

эта тема про "Борьбу с читерами" или альфа гнобит хавка? BJ я так понял летает с ником JazZ, я помню тебя на авиасибри. а почему всегда упреки в бездоказаности обвиненя против альфа? есть ли у вас доказательства против других? нету, можете ли вы доказать что вы не читеры не смотря на вашу игру без потерь/всевиденья/ракет с накрутками/пиар акцию читеров/гнобиловку на ЕД форуме. нету... вы только и можете писать какие вы классные, а все другие - отстой. а ваше главное оружие - понижение репутации на форуме, самоутверждение в интернете.
