Radiocheck... Hi fighters! For a long time we did not get in touch, but all this time the work did not stop. Improving, optimizing, adding, introducing something new - everything we worked on was connected with these words. Today we will show new night lighting and some hangars. The update includes many minor improvements - we made sure that the map is relevant and fresh. So what's most interesting: New lighting technology added. Added right-hand traffic in Cyprus. Map description updated. Added kneeboard (yeah, this fix has long been waiting in the wings) Mission generator updated. Added helicopter landing sites on GUI map. Optimized trees in forest. Simplified trees collisions. Optimized and improved building models. Added objects at road and railroad crossings. Two types of gas stations have been added. Two types of road-side cafes added. Improved cars. Added right-hand drive vehicles. Improved city and field assets. Improved road and railroad assemblies.

First and foremost, I would like to address the point where you mention that "Slew mode" only becomes active when the TD box is designated. In fact, this is a contradiction. SLAVE means that the sensor, in this case, the MAV seeker line of sight, is forced to follow another sensor, in this case, it is the TGP or the TD box that is Sensor of Interest (SOI) and provides a System Point of Interest (SPI). in Short: Sensor management is based on a single line-of-sight concept where all sensors are slaved to a common aimpoint, referred to as the System Point-of-Interest (SPI). Therefore, we should use DMS aft to make the MAV seeker the SOI and then manually move the MAV-seeker-LOS. In this case, it is no longer in SLAVE because we detach the MAV-seeker-LOS from SLAVE by slewing it through movement. However, in one of the videos provided here, the Missile-LOS-Circle does not appear. Let's move on to point 2. Slave mode and slewing are not mutually exclusive. The MAV seeker LOS can be in a Slave mode to the TD box but must slew with every movement of the TD box to maintain this state. As mentioned before, SLAVE means that one sensor is bound to another and tries to follow it. In our case, the Maverick seeker LOS is in slave mode by using the HMCS, which is SOI and provides the TD-Box/SPI, and therefore tries to follow the TD-Box/SPI. However, for the MAV seeker LOS to follow, it must move, and movement essentially involves slewing. Therefore, every time the MAV seeker LOS moves, a LOS Circle should appear, and once it reaches the TD-box-LOS and stops slewing, the seeker-LOS-Circle should disappear, which does not happen in the provided example. In this example, with the help of the workaround (enter and leave dogfight mode), we can observe a part of the correct behavior. The movement with the head/HMCS is faster than the MAV seeker head can slew. By slewing alone, the seeker LOS Circle should appear. Only when it reaches the TD box LOS and stops slewing should the seeker LOS disappear, which doesn't happen in the example. LOS.webm An excerpt from the ED F16 manual (pages 400/402): These 2 examples clearly explain that even when the TGP is the SOI, the term "slewing" is used to describe the movement of the MAV LOS. Furthermore, there are publicly available documents that provide further evidence that equates MAV LOS movement with slewing. From the explanation in the documents, "seeker line-of-sight appears when the AGM-65 seeker is in Slew or Track," a LOS Circle should appear with every movement, which is equivalent to slewing. Finally, it should be noted that this logic supports the pilots, especially when using HMCS. They need to know when the MAV seeker LOS matches the TD box; otherwise, it can lead to input errors.

Gents, good evening, I’ve seen many checklists for the Eagle and some very nice and with different styles, but, as usual, I made a Quick Checklist for the F-15E (already on Vs 1.1), but included a very short one for the WSO (specially for the Single Crew ops) with day and night ops options. It is available on the F-15E Quick CheckList User Files Download page. Any feedback is welcome. I hope you like it. All the best, Sydy

thanks to all for the feedback. I'm motivated to finish up the RQ-4/MQ-4C for a public release soon. I still have some coding to do on the flight model and some texture clean-up but I will attempt to get out to my beta-tester asap.

Yep, it will be implemented as the Shahed 136 Loitering Munition. It's been designated Geran-2 in Russia. So it'll be assigned to both Iran and Russia.

It’s easy to focus on the negatives especially when we post online but it’s important to recognize the positives too; and I just wanted to make a quick post to say whoever was the voice actor for my guy Petro deserves a solid pat on the back. I think we’re lucky to have English voiceovers at all for Petrovich and the devs could’ve easily just left us with Russian VO and subtitles. The fact that we have English voiceovers for Petro that are actually good is an awesome thing and it improves my experience as a solo player significantly. He sounds genuinely excited when he calls out “Yeah! Good effects on target!” and genuinely panicked when he spots an incoming missile, but is calmer about AAA fire, etc. As far as these things go I think the actor really nailed it. The English version of Petro is better than George in the Apache as a “character” IMO which is sorta funny when you think about it. Anyway, that’s all I’ve really got! Personally I wouldn’t mind if he had the occasional one-liner or something too, but I understand that might not be to everyone’s tastes

Gibt keine blöden Fragen, nur blöde Antworten. Das ist tatsächlich das Modell, das in DCS sein wird, aber: - Es wird noch optimiert und - ist in diesem Fall auch noch gar nicht final texturiert, das ist nur eine WIP Textur, ist einfach schöner an was farbigen zu Arbeiten als an einem grauen Modell. Den Rest würde ich dir gerne erklären, das würde aber etwas länger werden und ich kann aktuell leider keine Bilder hochladen, was aber für das Verständnis wichtig wäre. Hau mich gerne mal auf unserem Discord an, dann erkläre ich dir das da; alternativ versuche ich es hier nachher auch nochmal. Ach ja - Nervt BIGNEWY das sie endlich unsere Forumssektion freischalten, glaube es gibt so viele Frage und so viele Sachen die man erklären könnte für Leute die nicht auf Discord sind. Links zum Discord findest du in unserem nicht funktionierenden Forumsbereich. Edit: Geht immer noch nicht.

You can't really compare the Mudhen and the Tomcat for two big reasons. One, the Mudhen is less than a month into early access. Assume many things aren't square. And two, they're really doing different jobs. The Hen is designed to lift crazy amounts of attack munitions, loiter, and defend itself. The Tomcat was a Fighter interceptor that had strike capabilities. And sure near the end the D was doing similar work to the Strike Eagle, but only as a means of filling in the hole left by the A-6 while the Super Hornet was being developed. The Mud Hen is also using decades later technology that was built specifically for it. In a lot of ways it makes sense the Hornet Drivers are enamored with the Strike Eagle. The Strike Eagle does better what the Hornet does, Ground attack with self defense in one package. It just can't fly off a boat.

Jester will basically be the same guy, as we mentioned before - recording him anew for the F-4 would easily slap 2 years time on the development, and unfortunately is not doable. He will eventually become more and more tailored towards the F-4, and Jester 2.0 will bring new additions and features, but in principle he will be the same guy, consisting of - mostly - the same voice lines. Maybe at some point down the line we will be able to provide an option for call frequency, etc - but atm that is not planned. Thank you for your kind understanding.

I have asked about that work around, I will let you all know. I am pushing for it.

Attached is my recommendation for ED, as well as some of my excel sheets. I've put a lot into these sheets, so if anyone has any questions about the math please ask. The main equation I think ED should use is the SNR equation. Its in both docs. My PPT explains the benefits of using it. I think ED should use Phase 2 to implement Pd detection (it also effects azimuth/bar settings like they previously mentioned, but not directly). I think ED should hold off on look-down and altitude loss until Phase 3. As usual, everything contained within is open-source / non-ITAR / never been classified at any level, ever. Its all just physics and theory from reputable sources. Its mostly equations derived from: Intro to air (George Stimson; all 3 editions) Air and Spaceborne Radar Systems Radar Handbook V2 I'm recommending resolution cells of: MPRF Range: 150m Doppler: 10 Knots HPRF Range: 4000m Doppler: 3 Knots Be applied to all radars, when their true values are unknown. These values are generic and typical values one would see from a Pulse Doppler AA Radar. The point isn't to have a specific radars real values. The purpose is to: Show that these radars do not measure targets with perfect accuracy That MPRF and HPRF have pros and cons to resolution That targets within a res cell (must be within all 3 domains at same time; Beamwidth, Range AND Doppler) merge into 'one' large target/RCS. EDIT: Fixed Gain sheet in excel. It was missing the formulas. Beamscanner's Pd Detection recommendation.pptx Beamscanners Basic Radar Equations v1.2.xlsx

Radio 1 can work under emergency gen power, but is disabled with the JFS running. Unless information as far as DCS is concerned, just gee-wiz info IRL, would not be common to contact tower before starting anyway. That's just a weird DCS implementation of comms IMO.

Another massive job today was the left hand side forward windscreen quarter panel surround. This area on the aircraft is extremely corroded and damaged, with all the fixing screws either frozen in, or their anchor nuts corroded off the frames. The result was four hours of solid cold chisel work to break up the frame sections and to free them from the aircraft. Plenty of ACF50 has been applied throughout to help loosen up nuts, bolts and screws. In addition has been some liberal use of the Koken impact driver!

Open directory \DCSWorld\Mods\aircraft\F-15E\Cockpit\MFDG\TSD open file and find line 4, change: dofile(LockOn_Options.script_path.."MFDG/TSD/TSD_Map_Video.lua") to --dofile(LockOn_Options.script_path.."MFDG/TSD/TSD_Map_Video.lua")

You assume everyone wants to use the AI. In my group, we follow realistic procedures, but we never contact the AI in the process. Most of the time, we have a human LSO and/or Marshal, on different frequencies. The last thing I want to experience is my hook not catching, or getting WO lights or a message, because I didn't contact the AI and flew in a way it recognized. The way people behave around the boat should be up to the server's moderators to enforce.

Great to see!

So ... cool

The manual is quite specific and states that the HUD Pitch reference and the Spherical indicator (in normal mode) display the same pitch value. If you delve into the manual you will find a series of diagrams that show how this is arranged. Even though the radar Datum and the Gyro ref datum differ in their depression from the FRL the output to the Gunsight is corrected and delivered to the sight by the Roll/Pitch Multipler box (R/P OM). So the pitch attitude displayed on the Spherical indicator and the sight are in agreement. This from the publicly available manuals for the F1K50ED. So the assumption is the F1 in game is the same.

just switch to open beta. there's really no reason to be on stable version.

CURRENT VERSION: 2024-04-26b DOWNLOAD LINK: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3331710/ 10 PERCENT TRUE: https://www.10percenttrue.com/ Welcome to Inherent Resolve, a DCS F-15E Strike Eagle Mission designed by Sedlo for the 10 Percent True Podcast. This is an Close Air Support Mission set on the Syria Map and can be played single-player or multi-crew. See Read_Me file in the included ,zip for more information. There are two versions of this mission inside the zip file. One is a Cold Start and the other an Air Start. The Air Start version puts you at the refueling track, full of gas and ready to take on any tasking you receive. It is recommended to fly the Cold Start Version first though, as you will receive more information about the mission. NOTE: If you are playing multicrew, it must be a locally hosted multiplayer session. Due to the complex triggers and scripts in the mission you cannot use the Dedicated Server. This mission is designed for players who are proficient in the DCS F-15E module and its weapons systems. Examples of challenges you may face include: • Basic aircraft handling, such as take offs and landings • Use of the various radio and navigation systems. • Air to Air Refueling. • Dynamic re-tasking in a fast-paced environment. • Use of the targeting pod and employment of weapons systems. (It is essential that you read and understand the included mission briefing documents AND the Read_Me file included in the .zip) In addition, familiarity with US military terms and abbreviations is helpful to understand what is going on in the flight. A glossary of useful terms is available at the end of Steve Davies’ excellent book Be Afraid of the Dark, which you can find in your DCS World ClosedBeta\Mods\aircraft\F-15E\Doc folder. NOTE: You MUST own RAZBAM’s F-15E Strike Eagle module and you MUST own UGRA MEDIA’s Syria Terrain in order to play this mission! ************* INSTALLATION: Unzip the contents of the download to your folder at Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Missions ************* MISSION OBJECTIVES Today’s mission (XR-352-P) has three main objectives: • Provide On Call CAS support in the southern Section of the AO from 06:30z to 09:00z. • Train with 93rd ARW out of Fairchild AFB, newly arrived in theatre. • Familiarization with Local area and AO procedures ************* WEATHER AND NOTAMS OVERVIEW A weakening high-pressure system overhead the southern AO will slowly give way to a warm front approaching from the Mediterranean.

The Syrian Army has retreated to the Palmyra Army Depot and are expected to hold the base against the current Daesh attack. The Palmyra Army Depot is a suspected WMD storage area, and it’s in Syria’s best interest to secure these weapons from being compromised. The State Department and OGA have reached out to the Syrian leadership to offer assistance in securing the WMD but all offers have been declined. The COALITION partners have determined that WMD falling into the hands of DAESH is to be avoided at all cost. ________________________________________ The Russian Navy Task Force centered around t he Cruiser VARYAG is expected to make port at Tartus this afternoon. Refueling and replenishment operations are expected to take 12 hours. ________________________________________ RIVET JOINT has detected indications of a new SA-3 battery located at TYIAS airbase. The proximity to the FEBA near Palmyra indicates that the Syrians intend to hold TIYAS in the face of any organized Daesh attack. ________________________________________ The new teletype link (POLECAT) between the Syrian Ministry of Defense, RUAFHQ and JACKAL is now operational. This development is meant to ensure positive communications between military leadership on all sides of the situation in Syrian. ________________________________________ ************* MISSION PLANNING Mission Number – XR-352-P Departure: VFR Departure runway 31 from C2 (8998 ft remaining) Afterburner: Yes Departure Instructions: VFR 31 Dep LEFT turn heading 180 maintain 6000. Note: There is no ATC control outside the OJMF control zone. OJMF Control Zone extends in a 10nm radius up to 5500ft MSL • Ford 51 will depart runway 31 with an immediate left turn to heading 180. Expect to be pushed to FOCUS control leaving 5000ft. • Rendezvous and refuel with Texaco 51 at Steer Point 2 (ADDER). • Take Up On-Call CAS with an orbit overhead Steer Point 3 (Al-Tanf) • VUL time is 0630-0900 Z. • Following VUL time, TEXACO 51 will be available for refueling if desired. • Expect the visual approach and overhead break runway 31. • When overhead Syrian Territory, ensure you are EAST of the 38 E line. ************* THREATS The Syrian Air Force has increased operations dramatically in the last 24 hours. Yesterday, they carried out multiple airstrikes in defense of the city of Palmyra. SU-24 and MiG-29 attacks were observed, with all operations out of the TIYAS airbase. Russian SU-35 CAP patrols have been observed in and around the port of TARTUS, which coincides with the expected arrival of their naval task force later today. Syrian Air Force has MiG-29 on alert at TIYAS and SHAYRAT airbases, all believed to be in a 15-minute alert status. Russian SU-35 are on 5-minute alert at Latakia Airbase. ________________________________________ Syrian IADS network is still operational. Damascus is defended by long range SA-5 and SA-2 batteries. SA-2, SA-3 and SA-6 batteries near the airbase at TIYAS are operational. High volumes of AAA and MANPADS expected throughout the AO. ************* RULES OF ENGAGMENT ROE Weapons Tight – Do not fire unless under direct attack or authorized via JACKAL or FOCUS control. *************

Image from DCS: Spitfire - Beware! Beware! Campaign by Reflected Simulations We are holding a B-17G Livery Contest in order to expand our livery offering with the DCS: WWII Asset Pack. Using the official template found here please submit your creation and we will choose the top ten liveries to be integrated into the DCS: WWII Asset Pack. Here are some of the requirements and details: The livery must be created using this template. The livery must be based on historical liveries in use for the B-17G in the timeline of 1943-45. The livery must be associated with one of the countries the B-17G was used in, USAAF, RAF, etc. If you do a specific livery with nose art and aircraft name, please also include a generic version with no nose art, aircraft name and bort numbers. (Why? This will give users more options in missions for both SP and MP) So each entry should have 2 versions. Here are instructions for saving textures with MIP levels using NVIDIA Texture Tools for Adobe Photoshop. After submitting your file to User Files, please post here with a screenshot and link to your file from the ED user files. The contest will run until the 30th August 2023. The top five winners will receive a free copy of the DCS: World War II Assets Pack or a module of their choice. The top ten will have their liveries added to DCS. The top winner (first place based on voting) will also receive two additional modules of their choice. Good luck! (Choice of module must be modules by Eagle Dynamics and must be currently released; Module selection must be made 30 days from notification of winning)

Yeah, the key concept here was „move your head“. I don’t believe that there was a „one position fits all“ for the real pilots. But those are just assumptions.

Next time it fails to load, click on build 1's button and see if it triggers it to scan the build. I'll have to check into this deeper when I'm at my desktop, as I'd have to look at the codepath to see what is after the ED_ Server Scan and before the build scan. I'd recommend wiping the app settings and starting over %APPDATA%/Local/Skate Zilla Simulations/

MFG V3 are back in stock! I placed my order this morning…

Yes, ED is planning on updating the AIs flight model. Refer to the newsletter(s) for more info.

Thanks a lot for your words, mate. Of course I'll try your work anyway. As other friends stated, big files won't move locations on our harddrives. So, your app is already useful in many ways. Again, thanks a billion!

you can always upgrade your pc, any recent second hand motherboard+ram+processor would do, no need for the expense of a whole brand new pc. For example look for a B550 motherboard with any Amd Ryzen processor, they shouldnt be too costly.

Ich denke das dürften schon das sein, was dann auch in DCS zu sehen sein wird, wenn auch vielleicht nochmal weiter angepasst (Reduzierung der Texturschärfe oder Polygonanzahl um die Performance zu verbessern). Das kann aber @OPEC vielleicht besser beantworten?

Thanks. That solved the issue. Selected openxr APi and it worked. The new app is really feature-rich.

Several hours of time spent in the cockpit today, removing the instrument panel supports and frame for repair and refurbishment. Time was also spent removing old electrical harnesses, hydraulic and pneumatic plumbing. Over the next month our team aims to have the cockpit completely stripped and back to a bare shell for corrosion cleanup, repair, priming and repainting. Once the structure has been cleaned up we will begin refitting the cockpit for the simulator. The instrument panel support and frame were removed from the cockpit so that they could be repaired and repainted. Unfortunately, someone has previously tried to pull the panel from the aircraft, bending and twisting the frames. Some light panel beating got everything back into general shape.

I think we have been down that road before. Yes, real-world pilots do know most of their checklists by heart. They still wouldn't dream of ever starting up their aircraft without a checklist in hand or on-screen (in dual cockpits usually one calling out the item, the other repeating and affirming). How on earth do you do a pre-flight by memory? You look at NOTAMs and METAR/weather, assemble, file and verify flight plans during pre-flight, perhaps do your W&B. All that can't be done from memory. Someone must have pulled your leg on this one. Oh absolutely it does. That is your assertion, and has been your assertion for some time. While there may be some correlation between reckless behavior on an airfield and procedural immaturity, that is far from causation. I know enough people who can cold-start their aircraft and then gleefully ram you just for the sake of it, and I know many people who can't cold-start their current aircraft, yet are some of the most considerate and observant people I know. I fully agree with @Exorcet: how someone starts their plane doesn't change how the behave. There will always be people who have a regrettably callous attitude towards other players. Not being able to cold-start an aircraft is not one way to identify them.

You campaign creators all have my sympathy, and we as users can't really appreciate all your efforts enough! Cheers! Sent from my MAR-LX1A using Tapatalk

Nooooooooooo! Ugra changed the airfield frequencies AGAIN. So I'll have to update all missions AGAIN. Great...

Nutzt diese Gelegenheit, solange sie andauert, in unserem E-Shop. Wir nehmen auch am Summer Sale auf Steam teil. Der DCS Summer Sale 2023 endet am 16. Juli 2023, um 25:59 Uhr GMT. GFM Entwicklungsfortschritt Nach Abschluss der Implementierung des GFM für enge Formationen besteht unsere aktuelle Aufgabe in der Entwicklung von Algorithmen für lose Formationen. Aufgrund des großen Kurvenradius für lose Formationen müssen die Flügelmänner ihren eigenen, unabhängigen Flugbahnen folgen, um sich korrekt zum Anführer zu positionieren. Es werden neue Algorithmen entwickelt, die sowohl die kinematischen Flugbahnen als auch die Sichtverhältnisse zwischen Pilot und Flugzeug berücksichtigen, ähnlich wie es reale Piloten tun müssen, um ihr Führungsflugzeug immer im Blick zu behalten. Stabilator-Trimmposition bei Geschwindigkeitsänderungen Die obige Grafik ist eine Aufzeichnung der Stabilator-Trimmposition während der Beschleunigung und Verzögerung. Da eine erhöhte Leistung ein Nickmoment erzeugt, sind die Stabilator-Trimmpositionen beim Beschleunigen mit maximalem Nachbrenner und beim Verzögern im Leerlauf nicht identisch, insbesondere bei niedrigen Geschwindigkeiten, und erfordern einen stärkeren Nose-Down-Einsatz. Mach-bedingte Änderungen sind in der Nähe von Mach 1 spürbar. Wir freuen uns sehr über die Fortschritte und sind zuversichtlich, dass das Wingman-GFM und das allgemeine KI-Flugzeug-GFM in jeder Simulation weltweit einzigartig sein werden. Bitte verfolgt die News, um weitere Informationen zu erhalten, während wir dieses hochkomplexe allgemeine Flugphysikmodell weiter verbessern. B-17 Flying Fortress Bemalungswettbewerb Details zum Wettbewerb: Die Bemalung muss mit dieser Vorlage erstellt werden. Die Bemalung muss auf historischen Bemalungen basieren, die für die B-17G in der Zeit von 1943-45 verwendet wurden. Die Bemalung sollte mit einem Land assoziiert werden, das die B-17G tatsächlich eingesetzt hat, USAAF, RAF usw.. Wenn ihr eine spezifische Bemalung mit Bugbemalung und Flugzeugnamen erstellt, fügt bitte auch eine generische Version ohne Bugbemalung, Flugzeugnamen oder Bord-Nummern bei. So haben die Spieler später mehr Möglichkeiten. Hier gibt es eine Anleitung für das Speichern der Texturen mit MIP-Leveln unter Nutzung des NVIDIA Texture Tools für Adobe Photoshop. Nachdem ihr eure Datei/Dateien unter Benutzerdateien hochgeladen habt, schreibt bitte einen Beitrag im Forum mit einem Screenshot und Link zu eurer bei uns hochgeladenen Datei. Der Wettbewerb läuft bis zum 30. August 2023. Die besten 5 bekommen das DCS: World War II Assets Pack oder ein Modul ihrer Wahl. Die 10 besten Einsendungen werden zu DCS hinzugefügt. Der erste Platz erhält zwei Module seiner Wahl. Viel Glück! Abermals vielen Dank für eure Leidenschaft und Unterstützung. Viele Grüße, Eagle Dynamics

There's always something amiss with DCS. Be it stutter, login problems, artifacts, flickering graphics, missing bomb precicion etc.. or crazy bad load/startup times. This one error is one of the worst and I don't even consider starting DCS based on an impulse, for example to learn air to air in my newly purchased F-15. Because it takes forever to start. I've been near ditching the entire concept due to time wasted many times already. But I have put to much "terms and conditions of EULA" money in it. Plus hardware. I've been told to "please be patient" to many times. So I have to appeal to ED; Please be vigilant, and try to consider customers point of view, and fix or give info. I have no clue; will this take weeks, months, or, as in some occations, years? Are you even on it? "Reported" This is the most frustrating concept I've ever encountered, although it is my favourite one too. My time off from work is precious. I want to dedicate some of it to DCS, according to what I paid for. I bought a dedicated PC for this concept only, with the spec to handle it. But atm: No joy. In all fairness: Theres been weeks on end where I've enjoyed the work you put in to such measure, I've actually exclaimed sounds of joy. My girl say she heard me sing.

She's a beaut to land, you can do a greaser so smooth that it's like a cat pissing on silk. Loving the F-15E.

Fixed two bugs. https://github.com/the-paid-actor/dcs-dtc/releases/tag/5.0.3 - [F18] Fixes CMS for languages other than EN/US - [F15E] Fixes display mode dropdown list

Folks please dont make a drama out of nothing, RAZBAM is already working on many issues, they are active in their discord and have many issues already reported. Please be patient. thank you

I have started multiple projects based on requests in this thread, but most haven't held my interest long enough to progress very far. However, this one *might* make a release. I make no promises - it is a lot of time & effort to make one of these mods and I admit my motivation is dwindling. Most of the subject matter that I focus on is very esoteric. This means that I struggle to justify the amount of work to publicly release a mod for a few community downloads. So, that said, let me know if there is continued interest in the Global Hawk / Triton and if there are any specific liveries desired.

A grownup fighter pilot? Hey, hey, we're doing a realistic simulation here, no tradeoffs for gameplay's sake.

it's already in the works, thanks. All objects will be illuminated according to the new lighting system. Thank you
