Извините, если перевод на русский язык некорректен (по обновлению) - Вагс работает в ED с 2000 года по сегодняшний день (23 года). - ED присоединился к команде Янне в 1998 году и работал над F-18E Янне, перешел в студию NASCAR tiburon, а затем перешел в SSI - Вагс присоединился к ED во время работы над Flanker 2.0, а вашим первым большим проектом с ED был LOMAC. - Машинное обучение уже начало рассматриваться, но сначала мы обновили AI BVR, а затем BFM, рассматривая больше переменных о ситуации и будучи в состоянии адаптировать их. Раньше все было очень просто, а теперь ИИ смотрит на врага, на скорость полета, включает один круг или два круга, сверху, и какая ситуация лучше по сравнению с вражеским самолетом. Раньше всегда разворачивался на два круга и был супер предсказуем. - Ожидается, что после того, как ИИ продвинется в BFM и BVR, ИИ будет улучшен не намного, после того, как ИИ одиночного корабля, разворот станет сложнее. Много ресурсов сосредоточено на BFM, о тактике BFM больше на повестке дня о том, что доступно. - Деталь: ED не нравится, что потенциальный противник использует их как тренажер против нас... - Оружие и сенсоры жестко закодированы. - Коммуникации с распознаванием голоса против AI в планах ED нет. Это очень трудно сделать. - Wags вступил в дело в январе, когда F-15E был в окончательном производстве, и начал разрабатывать F-18E Super Hornet в 1998 году. Мы потеряли хорошие вступления и другие моменты из симуляторов 90-х. - Анимация солдат в DCS имеет очень старые анимации и технологии, в настоящее время идет работа над новыми анимациями и технологиями. - Насчет "наземного боя" в DCS, (воздушная среда) самолеты 4-го поколения уже почти дошли до того, чтобы сделать все доступные самолеты, перейти к самолетам времен холодной войны, серии Century, WW2, перейти к Тихоокеанскому региону WW2, а вот наземный, с ровной местностью в DCS, не уверен, придет или нет, не уверен, но это не если, как только начнется работа над ними (не CA), симулятор с Abrams, A-10 и AH-64 будет отличным. - ED не собирается строить "карту Украины", много разумного в этом вопросе. То же самое с Тайванем. - Dymamic campaig двухслойный с "Стратегической стороной" с двумя сторонами, активы, промышленность, производство и цели. На "Стратегическом уровне" игрок ищет цели, активы, ресурсы и строит миссию ATO. Игрок на "Тактическом уровне" видит ATO и выполняет миссию, влияя на "Стратегическую сторону", чтобы генерировать новые миссии ATO. Настоящий "симулятор транспортного средства". - ED не достигнет реальных уровней без сообщества и энтузиазма. - CH-47F находится на стадии разработки и следующий на очереди у ED. Одна из главных проблем при создании самолетов 4-го поколения (включая вертолеты) - это документация, которая всегда поступает в игру из открытых источников и не является секретной или ограниченной. Если часть информации не открыта, то модуль не запускается. Стройте модули, опираясь на достоверную и доступную информацию и МСП. - Если не получили необходимую информацию, модуль "не пошел". - Все строительство модулей в ED ведется за счет продаж модулей, никаких Kickstarter и дотаций. - F-6F Hellcat в процессе разработки. Для этого необходимо найти нужную информацию, справочные данные, данные по тоннелю крыла для постройки ускоренной летной модели. Найдены ветераны, летавшие на Hellcat, о процедурах эксплуатации. - Другой момент - это вложение денег и будущие продажи (если не получится "не пойдет"). - По поводу сторонних разработчиков, которые приходят с предложением "мне нравится строить этот самолет", ED получить поддержку и совет, если другие сторонние разработчики делают такой же проект, перейти к другому проекту и не тратить свое время. - Heatblur работает над A-6E Intruder с блоком AI, F-14D mayor problem has get acurated data. - Сообщество ставит обычные модули DCS очень далеко от летной разработки / системы / кодификации и т.д. и сообщает о них как об ошибках, когда на самолете нормальные операции, реальный пилот никогда не ставил самолет на некоторые ситуации. Всегда требовалось хорошее описание ошибок, трек-файлы и т.д., чтобы выложить на Jira, получить приоритет и намерение их исправить. - По поводу проблем с выпуском модуля о "разумной" информации. Прежде чем выпустить модуль, ED связывается с пимами и просматривает их, если у кого-то не "публичная" или "разумная" информация, ED удаляет ее. По AH-64 ряд позиций не был добавлен в модуль по факту. Аналогичная ситуация с сообществом с поднятием "толковых" документов на форуме, есть "Не пошло". Ничто не относится к категории B, C, только для официальных глаз и т.д., например, некоторые документы по F-16C от Grece в интернете. - Wags был студентом географического факультета университета и 10 лет работал в ЦРУ. - Wags любит Praire Beers. - Баг радара F-16/F/A-18C уже исправлен. - Сообщество не любит случайных проблем в системах. - F/A-18C flight dinamics FCS уже переделан. - Ожидается, что к концу 2023 года будут достигнуты успехи в работе над готовой комнатой для суперносителя и завершена подготовка палубы к полету. - Недостающая информация, документация иnbsp; для постройки F/A-18E Super Horner. - "Maverick Pack" получил всплеск продаж в DCS. - Разрушаемые деревья в планах на далекое будущее. - Одной из главных важных особенностей прогресса является управление полетами авианосцев и коричневых рубашек от стоянки до запуска кошки, от старта, отправки в другой и конца до посадочного бокса, и от посадочного бокса до слота стоянки. Ожидается создание реалистичных коммуникаций с боссом, поиск серьезного актера озвучки. - Все технологии перевозчика на палубе экипажа перемещаются, чтобы использовать их для создания наземного экипажа / капитана самолета на наземных базах. - Карты Кореи и Вьетнама появятся после других карт. - Грузовая версия C-130 в процессе разработки третьей стороной. Функционал грузового транспорта как часть функционала DCS, созданного ED. - ED строит парашютистов. - Логистическая сторона на модулях CH-53 / C-130, не только как расширение старых складов, функциональность на вертолетах / самолетах, реализована в династической кампании, с игроками летающими на миссии для пополнения запасов. - Кола о прогрессе ORBX (Wags много времени работает над тем, чтобы попасть в DCS для создания карт), - ED продолжает работу над картой всего мира и различными эпохами (WW2, Вьетнам и т.д.) и разрушаемой местностью. - Live Traffic и Weather появятся в будущем, но пока это только планы. - Eurofighter создается HB/True Grit, после F-4E Phantom II. - Polychop OH-58D Kiowa был отложен из-за болезни главного программиста. ED получил оценку и отзывы, и модуль уже готовится. - Saab JAS Grippen (включая ранние версии) имеет проблемы с доступными данными. - Версия Миг-29 будет доступна, но создание Су-27 / J-11 имеет проблемы с данными / разрешениями / юридически доступной информацией. - ED сделает T-38A, проблема заключается в ограниченных возможностях самолета, более правдоподобно, чтобы это сделала сторонняя команда.

Su-24MU Bomber (Ukraine) version 1.0.0 released! Changelog Version 1.0.0 Release version Deployment of the Storm Shadow and Taurus ALCMs can be done either with 'Ground attack' => 'Bombing' and placing the triangle on the target. But you can also use 'CAS' => 'Attack group/unit'. Just remember that the ALCMs are GPS guided and won't hit a moving target.

A bit late to the party. Interesting video. In case it helps people to find stuff, here is a timeline (more or less) to the DCS content: 5:20 Discussion of AI in general and plans for DCS AI in particular. 15:00 It’s a game. Don’t want total fidelity. Bad guys can use it, too. 27:00 At this point can only look back in time for additional aircraft to model. So ground forces will be the new arena. 29:00 Ukrainian map too sensitive tight now as is Taiwan. 29:30 Dynamic campaign still in the works. 30:00 Chinook is next in the pipeline and coming soon. 34:00 For any aircraft, etc, must be able to demonstrate that the data for it came from legal publicly available documents. 36:00 How we decide what module to do next. 41:00 How do issues (“bugs”) get fixed? 43:00 The need to be very careful with documentation and what elements are included. 48:00 Viper radar lock loss bug. Also talk about real world failures and whether to include them in sim. 50:00 Hornet flight dynamics being reworked. 51:00 Full briefing room coming for the carrier. 52:00 Super Hornet not likely and reason why. 53:30 DCS sufficiently modeled that can be used to teach. DCS compared to real world military simulators. 57:00 Did Top Gun 2 help with sales? 58:00 Possibility of destructible trees. 59:00 Additional carrier crew coming soon. 1:00:00 Looking for air boss voice actor. 1:01:30 Wags’ game preferences. 1:02:40 Korea and Vietnam maps. Not now but will come. 1:05:00 Full DCS C-130 will eventually be made. 1:06:00 An entire logistics system is in the works and it’s application to the dynamic campaign. 1:07:00 Difference between DCS and real world experience in the cockpit. 1:12:00 Kola Peninsula map. Whole world map. 1:15:00 Eurofighter. Kiowa. 1:20:30 S-3 possible but far down the list. 1:43:30 Any chance of a Gripen or Rafale? The docs are the issue. 1:44:30 Possibility of FF Su-27, MiG-29, plus more on type and sources of information they can use.

Since Germany pretty much is about to announce the delivery of Taurus KEPD-350 to Ukraine, I took the liberty to implement it on the Ukraine Su-24M. Still some minor stuff to complete (like the pylon fitting on the pic above, haha), but I will release the MiG-29MU2 and Su-24MU shortly.

Hm... the amount of downloads is quite staggering. We're burning through the bandwidth like a hot knife through butter. Bandwidth used since yesterday is almost 200 GB. The new file sharing service works great though, and there are no free lunches, bandwidth isn't free. I'm will have to upgrade the bandwidth limit pretty soon, so all donations no matter the size are welcome. The bandwidth usage is reset after 30 days, so we'll know more about our needs every day, since our statistical sample size grows. And a big thank you to all who have donated so far, it makes all this possible. https://ko-fi.com/currenthill

MiG-29MU2 Fighter (Ukraine) version 1.0.0 released! Changelog Version 1.0.0 Release version Deployment of the JDAM-ER can be done either with 'Ground attack' => 'Bombing' and placing the triangle on the target. But you can also use 'CAS' => 'Attack group/unit'. Just remember that the JDAM is GPS guided and won't hit a moving target. The ADM-160B MALD can be done with 'Ground attack' => 'Bombing' and placing the triangle on the target and selecting weapon type "Guided" and release quantity 'All'. The MALDs will fly to the GPS coordinate while broadcasting a radar signature as a large bomber. The AGM-88C HARM, AIM-9L and AIM-120s are deployed in ordinary fashion.

Just as a little update. Development continues, and the Kiowa Warrior that we have right now is a completely superior version than the one that was seen in the streams two years ago.

There's a new version 1.1 available: https://github.com/mbucchia/Quad-Views-Foveated/wiki#setup Changelog - Fix performance issue with OpenXR-OBSMirror. - Fix crash with Oculus runtime upon taking off the headset. - Better handling of eye blinking. - Tweak default settings for Fixed Foveated Rendering mode. - Fix crash with Vive OpenXR runtime. - Disable Turbo Mode with SteamVR OpenXR runtime. - Add debugging/performance tracing (for developer only).

These are already in the F-15E's ../coremods/..shapes/ folder. Should explain if they are planned. (not that I am proud of it, but I had to make them)

The CH-47 is going to be like the Mi-8 on steroids. I really enjoy the Mi-8 but the cockpit graphics desperately need some love. The Chinook is probably going to be at the Apache level of eye candy and that will be just fine. Maybe a pre-order tomorrow?

Please let's not joke about someone's illness or a group that has loyalty to that person. We do not know what is happening behind the scenes and to joke about such things is a little off-putting. Thanks.

I'm willing to bet "very strange" = no handholding from a FBW system

Red Star Simulation Mig-17F team interview by HIP games interview log (Sorry if not acurated). The team jump from the comunity mod, to build a propper module to DCS Has very challenging turn on 3rd party on DCS. ED has very strict standars to get 3rd party license by new 3rd parties. Mig-17F team has two owners, one a formely military pilot now airline pilot, and other airline pilot, with 25 years experiece, and part of fligh dynamic team now with minor CAD 3D work, testing flight dinamic design and flight testing. Have contractors and coder with some experience on DCS modules, with working on popular DCS mods, Also work on research and development, and your real job has aircraft mecanic with experiece on civil and military aircrafts and family related Mig-17 on old RDA (East Germany), with research a great quantity of documentation about Mig-17, with Polish, English, German and Russian manuals. Has another person with help on the research, a Russian guy has a aircraft restoring expert with experience on the Mig-17. Has diferent contractors on the 3D and texturing side, has testers and three SMEs, Air Show pilots from Us with experience on Mig-17. They looking for more people to the 3rd Party team as two or three reliable developers or coders to a future, build a second module with they has looking and continuely support the Mig-17. The proppose to build the Mig-17 was he outlive some more other aircrafts, cheap to produce, with many countries from east block, has a popular aircraft, you can create many missions, part of many wars as Vietnam, Mid East conflict, as the Sinai map, the Vietnam problem of Fast missile fighters vs old maneuver Mig-17s. Mig-15 vs Mig-17 has very diferent on many ways. The Mig-17 fix some aerodinamic issues on fast speed lost control on transonic speed, the diferent sweepn wing design, Mig-15 has only a fixed angle sweep wing vs two diferent sweep angles, 2 wing fences vs 3 and Mig-17f has a better engine (vk1 vs vk1f) with afterburner with improve perfomance, slight large drag profile with better acceletarion, sustained turns and altitude enhanced vs Mig-15. The redesign of wings and tail dont get the control issues as the Mig-15. Actualy (August 2023) the Mig-17f module has finish the texturing the cockpit and start to texture the 3D external 3D model. Flight dinamics has 99% complete, and expect only minor adjusts, and start to working on system modeling and afterward, on damage model. The Lim 5 version has the Polish license production version of Mig-17F by more available info and manual. Focused on a last bath, with include Egiptian modifications, with some domestic weapons as sackur rocket and fuselage pilons for bombs. Plans to other versions, they looking on AS version to add K-13 missiles but the problem has be the lack of info to include them into DCS. Missing the wiring with the missiles and the switches on the cockpit, and no info about was implemented. Has some plans to build a Mig-17PF version but only if the Mig-17F will be enogh profitable and get all available documentation. Plans to release Mig-17F on early access need discuss with ED, but the team think release them on a mature state before a very early version. About tutorials, the team like build diferent tutorial specialy on flight dynamics, other has systems, radio, iff, etc. Mig-17 required good pilot by the flight dynamics on take off and flight. Not a easy aircraft to fly. Manual coming first on english and expected some complete on release. Mig-17F has own first project, starter project, and the love on build the Mig-17 get more experiece to build future modules. About a next module, that has a more repeat question, but actualy, that require some patience and wait to make something public on a future. The team has open to build any aircraft with get the propper documentation, SMEs and pymes, blue and red, if has market to build them. The focus has on Gen 1 to Gen 3 aircrafts, Us, Soviets or others meanwhile has market to build them and none other team has working on them.

Currently the fire effect on a destroyed vehicle (not the damage smoke) looks decent enough in isolation but it looks kinda weird when a lot of vehicles are destroyed in the same area, most with the same height flame and smoke, see pic for what I mean(destroyed vehicles here are Shermans and Panzer 4s): Some more randomness to this (smoke density etc) would really add to things

DCS screenshots

Depends on what comes up in testing. But if everything goes as plan, I would guess 0 days.

I'll have to go back and check the marketing for where it promised the jet would have advantages over other Gen 4 jets with AIM-120s. Ideally one would fly it because they are interested in what an F-14 is like. If that's not the case and you want to chase the meta, may I be so bold as to suggest the lawn dart?

I'm not sure if it was posted already. Anyway. The more people see it, the better:

DCS Newsletter discussion 11th August 2023 - Matt Wagner Interview | A-1H Progress | Growling Sidewinder Giveaway Dear Fighter Pilots, Partners and Friends, In case you missed it, make sure to watch Matt Wagner's interview with C.W Lemoine over on The Ready Room YouTube channel. Our dedicated third party partners, Crosstail Studios have been hard at work refining the upcoming DCS: A-1H Skyraider module. We are delighted to share some existing progress. This module is designed to captivate veterans and newcomers alike and brings the glory days of the Vietnam War back to life in stunning detail. Read on below and check out the Development Screenshots. The Growling Sidewinder is a truly excellent multiplayer environment designed to test your limits. After reaching over 500k subscribers, we are delighted to support them with a giveaway! Watch the video. Thank you for your passion and support. Yours sincerely, Eagle Dynamics Matt Wagner Interview | A-1H Progress | Growling Sidewinder Giveaway https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/news/newsletters/1e18d2a40eeeddf7a34884af63cf65a8/

New plan: Since we're burning through all file sharing services, why not put Dropbox Professional to the test. They claim a bandwidth limit of 1 TB and unlimited file downloads per day. I've updated the site, and this time I've removed all specific asset links. You will have to use the 'multiple download' option at the top. Since I'm changing provider more often than most change their underwear I can't be bothered to update all the separate links over and over again. Edit: Summary of the pCloud test: 1088 downloads (488 GB) during 24 hours.

Bandwidth update: This is not looking great. The current limit is 500 GB per month. We just passed 400 GB - in 24 hours.

MT has been in the stable build since May the 5th: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/news/changelog/stable/2.8.4.39731/

Amazing mod! i'm really looking forward to this mod! Bravo Currenthill!

I bet Japanese Zero pilots felt betrayed as well when they faced the Tomcats from the Nimitz during WW2. They even made a documentary about it

Real Apache‘s not all have the radar dome install as welll……there should be less with radar than with it installed.

Next ED release? Teased in the New Year video. Preorders in September with a Christmas release? Wouldn't surprise me. OT It's heartbreaking what's happening in Maui now. Did see some footage of Chinooks doing fire fighting there. Sent from my MAR-LX1A using Tapatalk

Why do people recommend mods when someone makes a wish about something they want in the game officially is beyond me. Back to the subject... Yes I agree, I would love to see more versions of destroyed animations on vehicles if possible.

Unfortunately the only tactical field manual I have access to for the Swedish air force strike groups is the 1961 edition with corrections/updates added up until 1967, but that one does have doctrinal advice for rb 04 usage (in its earlier incarnations, carried by the A 32 Lansen). It states that against cruisers and frigates rb 04 is the weapon system of choice, with bombs and armor-piercing rockets as secondary alternatives if missiles are not available. It then outlines these rules of thumb for sizing the strike package: The relevant item here is the 4th item from the top, "Raid eller mineringsföretag" (mineringsföretag = mine laying), against which it suggests deploying anywhere between 1 and 6 full squadrons of 8 aircraft. The two right columns make recommendations regarding sub-targets. Against a cruiser (Sverdlovs in this era), deploy anything between a squadron or a flight (half squadron; 4 aircraft), against a frigate or a destroyer use a flight or a twoship, against any smaller surface combatant use a twoship or possibly a single aircraft. The A 32 didn't really have countermeasure pods (not widely available ones at any rate) so it's two missiles per aircraft. On a side note the Rb 15F's lowest sea skimming altitude isn't fixed; it's "waveheight adaptive". I don't have any information on what that means specifically but it certainly sounds pretty low.

The Mig-29 is something we would like to do for sure, but we have to comply with rules and laws in many countries regarding information about aircraft and their avionics. To create the high fidelity aircraft you would expect from us we need to use public unclassified information only. Regarding the teams, no matter where they are in the world their safety comes first. thank you

I watched that yesterday and it was much more fun and entertaining than I thougt it would be. Those 2 hours flew right by. Absolutely recommend to watch.

IT USES SCRIPTS AND TRIGGERS THAT ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH MULTIPLAYER STYLE PLAY. ************************************************************ Welcome to Inherent Resolve, a DCS F-16C Viper Mission designed by Sedlo for the 10 Percent True Podcast. This is a Close Air Support Mission set on the Syria Map and can be played single-player only. 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. This mission is designed for players who are proficient in the DCS F-16C 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. NOTE: You MUST own the DCS F-16C Viper 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. *************

Please please please, after so many year, is it possible for us to be like MSFS2020, which can switch from monitor to VR by just one click? With the newest update I have more crashed in VR then before, and sometimes after the VR crashed, the game is still running (happened a lot after hitting F10, which cause a lot of lag). I was thinking if VR crashed, then we can switch back to monitor and then go into VR again, and we won't need to launch DCS everytime when we want to use screen to edit stuff after using VR. I think it's a very reasonable ask, please help us to overcome whatever barrier you have, and put the switch button into the game.

This man has done more to keep me buying modules than any other single thing in the arena. ED, step up and give this guy some bandwidth!

Good news, bug identified, isolated and solved yesterday. Now we are testing that everything works properly in our internal build. Fix will be provided as soon as possible.

Version 1.24 Release August 11, 2023 - Updated Kneeboard Cards - Updated Tail Numbers - Updated embedded graphics - Changed certain attack triggers - Adjusted breifing documents Download here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3331710/

Very nice interview, and very informative! It makes me look forward to this module and what Red Star will do next

Should be... Lattitude (N66,5), lays somewhere between Lůlea and Rovaniemi. So still on the map

You have the ATTACK HEADING set to 0 degrees (True hdg) (see lower right part of the STORES page). Since you're in PP I don't think it will show you release cues when you are heading at 50 degrees toward the target.

Sorry. They have gone.

I kept the bits and if they were easier to get to I’d probably be loading a few up tonight. Probably best they’re out of the way then, I looked at a couple today on YT. I was genuinely impressed when I first got this. Polygons of pleasure. Hilarious to look back at but they were all stepping stones to what we can enjoy now. (couldn’t help myself)

nothing last for ever, people gets tired of DCS all the time, and new users like you arrive all the time also maybe this list of mine can help you: For me, @SUNTSAG and @104th_Maverick videos are the most useful.

really nice ship... added some more details in 8k (still wip)

We will see it flying sooner than in any simulator . Shame!

Version 1.4.1 (20230810) - Functionality Update Summertime and the living is easy... well, if you like heat, that is. Being of Northener stock, anything above 17°C is unwelcome, but it puts a dazzling smile on the face of my very special one. And when she smiles, everything is easy, so I don't complain. Except about the heat. Since the heat nearly prevents me from donning my VR goggles, and I flatly refuse flying without them (anyone who has ever spent a second in DCS VR understands), changes to DML are small. Still, I've managed to work in some exciting updates: CivAir now supports 'off-map destinations' making that small tool very, very easy to use with great results. Other changes include a slow adaptation of OOP zones (just for me, I guess), and some uptick in usability for some modules (Recon, Guardian Angel), and there is another experimental (and wholly undocumented) addition that I'm trying to work out: duel zones. But - summer time... and here are the Changes: Manual Main - CivAir new off-map connectors - Recon Mode new attributes - Small corrections - Civ Air International demo documentation Quick Ref - Updates to CivAir, ReconMode Demos - CivAir international (new) - ReconMode reloaded (update) Modules - ReconMode 2.2.0 - new marksLocked attribute - new marksFadeAfter attribute - OOP migration for zones - cfxZones 4.0.1 - new dmlZones:getName() - CivAir 2.0.0 - new inbound zones - new outbound zones - on start locations now randomize to 30%-70% of itinery - miscellaneous fixes, updates - OOP migration for zones - dcsCommon 2.9.2 - typos corrected - duel (experimental) - not yet ready for release - guardianAngel 3.0.5 - overhauled missile naming - new msgTime attribute - better verbosity - OOP zones update - unitZone 1.2.5 - better reading of config zones Enjoy, -ch

I would love to see the ability to have unlimited fuel per unit. That would solve AWACS/Tanker woes, plus burner-happy AI wingmen, for sure. Anyway, thanks again for flying it and I'm glad you found it enjoyable (and eye-candy-like, too)

As having had anti-air defensive training in the army I definitely would expect them to miss no matter what skill setting (!), or even more realistic only take shots on approaching aircraft. This is hammered into your head during training, as trying to lead a fast moving aircraft flying away(!) from you is basically a waste of ammunition. A ZSU-23-4 with its radar can calculate lead in realtime, but not a human gunner eyeballing the target, laser rangefinder or not. The concept of defensive Anti-Air (Fliegerabwehr) is trying to deny the airspace in the direction of a target by putting as much tracers/bullets in the air in front of the aircraft as possible to scare the pilot into maneuvering, failing the approach. If you hit the aircraft it is more by luck than any skill involved (talking about a jet at 500 kts, not a slow moving helicopter). In real life the ground forces will only fire at an aircraft flying towards(!!!) their position and stop firing, when it passes the 3/9 line of the gunner. Air defense against jets is what SHORAD like Roland or Gepard were designed for. Autocannons against slow or hovering helicopters is fine, heck, even Tank crews train snap shots against helicopters with the main gun in the simulator, but not against fast movers, as it would be waste of precious ammo. This is a long standing issue with the AI. It's a constant gripe, since DCS: A-10C Warthog days, that BMPs especially, but also BTR, MBT with Anti-Air MG hit jets perfectly at their max engagement range, making them a bigger threat than dedicated AAA. It's not just a simple skill setting issue. I would love to see the AI no longer shoot jets with a DSHK after it already passed overhead and with a perfectly timed lead in 3 dimensions adjusted for 500 KTS snipe it out of the sky.

The illumination pattern does change between TAXI and TILL, but very slightly. The two landing lights are angled far too much downward, which render them close to useless when landing. I've estimated them (there's only one in DCS right now) to be between 6 and 10 degrees too low. They're pretty good at lighting up the ground below you if you have a wingman coming in behind you though. The issues above is as @Machalot mentioned is that the landing lights are missing the "glow" texture in front of them when on. And the fact they are angled down too much. TAXI TILL
