Magnitude 3

I've discovered a completely new method of depicting farmlands in our beloved Caucasus. Took more than one week of reverse engineering but was worth it!

Some old refueler photos

I posted some F-4E documents dating from my time flying it. Enjoy. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3335473/ I highly recommend going throught the USAF TPS F-4 Guide before flying the Rhino. It will save you a lot of frustration. The rest of the document should give you a good feel for how the jet was operated back in the day. Vulture

Не палубным ЛА делать на палубе нечего.

А хотите реального ускорения процесса? Это совсем просто. Выберите один-два мода, которые лично Вам наиболее интересны. И займитесь их сопровождением - проверка функционала, отслеживание изменений, отлов проблем совместимости и репорт авторам мода (да, именно авторам мода, а не нам), проверка правки этих проблем. И если авторы мода обоснованно заявят, что это проблема DCS Worlld, а не их - тогда обращаетесь к нам. Заявление о том, что "в прошлой версии работало", обоснованием не считается. Есть желающие выполнять такого рода работу (которую по хорошему должны выполнять авторы модов)?

Helping me not to get crazy. Needed to make them for reference.

As DCS usually gets most of them wrong, I’d rather they don’t include auto-assign. Better still if we could have the option of disabling auto-assign.

Накал страстей пошёл. … Если вы потерялись в лесу, просто начните вслух рассказывать как надо делать симулятор. Форумчане сами найдут вас, чтобы доказать, что вы не правы. Офф. Сори

Rtyer, если вам интересен взгляд со стороны, то вот: это вы тут на грани личных оскорблений ходите, но вас терпят. Пока. И ту переписку про кили я тоже читал. Знаю, что и меня прямо сейчас может чем-нибудь обляпать заодно, но это было смешно. Астанавитесь! (С) ПыСы. Нет чтоб поиграть в DCS. Но нет, пишутся и пишутся тексты странные. Примечание: Мне можно, я далеко от домашнего компа

It's got nothing to do with maths ability... We can input fuel as a weight in the mission editor, there is absolutely 0 reason why we shouldn't be able to in the rearming and refuelling window. It's not only a more realistic way of going about things, it's also more consistent.

While we wait for ED's updated clouds, it is possible to enjoy more cloud variation made by a DCS enthusiast:

Тут видно мастера разработки ЛА с большим опытом. ) Обеспечивать совместимость это и есть поддержка. Еще раз - у нас нет ни времени, ни людей заниматься мегатоннами пользовательского творчества. Извините. Пользователи могут ставить себе все что угодно, только не рапортуйте о багах, пока не проверили их на чистой версии. И не только американцы обращаются в техподдержку с кривыми модами.

At this point we pretty much have all the documentation we need. What's left to do either doesn't require docs (LODs, collision models, destroyed models, etc) or a quick google image search is enough.

We have it already, I belive there are photos somewhere on this thread, if not ill post some

(Warning this is a joke not to be taken seriously) Magnitude 3 has revealed a new image of the Corsaire on which we see the VMF-214 screen printing used in February 1945 aboard the USS Franklin CV-13. Given the white map we could say that the Corsaire could be released this winter in February perhaps - even be the 28 number registered on the Corsair. XD

Altair 8800. You set the bios with switches on the front of the machine. We had two 8-inch (yes, 8 ) floppy drives at $1,000 apiece (in '70s money, no less). The "flight sim" was "Lunar Lander," in which you put in your fuel-burn and got a text response on deceleration. At the end, it told you how large a crater you made. My dad was really into computers. He built a system on a 4x8 plywood board in 1972. It had 1k of core memory, which was an open grid of copper wires and solder joints about 20cm a side. 1k of core memory! Can you imagine? I once asked him what it did: "nothing." RE: Pong -- I played it on an Odyssey in 1973. It had semi-transparent electrostatic sheets you stuck on your TV, and the graphics rendered behind that. Seriously. All this makes me sound terribly old. I have a hot girlfriend.

It's the Shaanxi SX2190 6x6 8 ton logistic truck, based on the Steyr 91. It's configured to transport troops at least. The guy in the background is the PGZ-95 4x25mm SPAAG.

Hi, the thread is in the correct place in the forum but we have now pinned it to make it easier to find. thank you

But also...

Dear all, as we published the F-4E Manual today, we hope you all enjoy reading it and getting a head start for your very own F-4! Of course we would kindly like to ask you for feedback and suggestions - of any kind. Please use this thread to help us keep an overview. Here is the manual link again: https://f4.manuals.heatblur.se/ Note: access to GitHub and the pdf version will follow a bit later.

-Система автоматического управления САУ -SAU, System of automatic handling, the mechanical system that assist the pilot in handling of the aircraft, manouvering, and also autopilot within it. I would like to have model the SAU as a system, not a flight model result. In real MiG-29 the stick has moved itself, while SAU turned on - while flying manualy "via hands". You have the same feeling of the aircraft with SAU on and off because it is not a FBW, but while stayed on (normal flight) there was mixed input of SAU and pilot. It was not present in other aircrafts. It was hard to get used to for beginners, but was just obvious part of flying MiG-29. As we aim for FF MiG-29 it shouldn't be neglected and it should work as real. Best Regards, Mateo

So I played this through with the F18 as intended and enjoyed the campaign. I also fly the F16 so decided to try to play it through with that aircraft as well. You can do this by going into the mission editor and changing the aircraft, also arming the plane with similar weapons as what the F18 had etc. Please note you can’t save the missions in mission editor but you can play them after you make the changes. You also have to change out the refueler to a KC135 or in some missions making the KC-135 controllable and clicking the box next to the radio frequency and assigning a separate radio frequency to it. Other than that it has pretty much been plug and play. I highly suggest that this campaign be officially be copied over to have the option of playing as either f16 or f18. With the lack of content for f16 currently I am sure more folks will buy this campaign. So far I am through 9 missions and have successfully completed them. I actually have liked playing it as f16 more than the f18.

While it wasn't any definite test given that I lack modules from number of 3rd parties, I did throw a quick test with few ED, Heatblur, AvioDev and Razbam modules. With QNH set at default 29.92 in both tests, only thing changed was the temperature. First test I did was with the maximum allowable 40 degrees and second with the minimum allowable 20 degrees (Celsius, both values positive ofc) In +40C test, briefing QFE was 29.38, in +20C briefing QFE was 29.35. Aircraft +40C measured QFE +20C measured QFE A-10CII 29.39 29.35 AV-8B 29.38 29.38 C-101 29.39 29.36 F-14B 29.37 29.33 F-15E 29.38 29.38 F-16C 29.39 29.36 F-5E 29.40 29.36 I did also include P-47D in the test, but for the love of god I cannot figure out how to read the pressure setting that was set QFEtestWhileOnRwy_40c.trk QFEtestWhileOnRwy_20c.trk

То что вы и не способны отличить варианты вертикального оперения самолётов семейства Су30 - причем вам приводили картинки что-на что ставиться - но вы так и не поняли разницу и всё-равно гнёте свою точку зрения. Хотя судя по этой теме, вы не разбираетесь не только в авиации, но и в разработке ПО. Машины, которые сначала поставлялись на экспорт а потом в ВКС, всё равно проходят испытания и приёмку перед поступлением в ВКС. А пруфы будут что Египетские Су35 передали в ВКС? Они в ВКС не шли - их готовят для передачи Ирану.

Here's how I finally managed to join: my account didn't have an age set, and this is difficult to see in the discord app. Go to your profile settings and select "Family Center"... if no age was ever set for the account, it will just ask for the age. After confirming that you are a grown-up, you should be able to join the server immediately, no further settings required. Let me know if this solves the issue for any of the others!

И всё же, о новостях. Приятного просмотра в видеоформате.

Gentlemen.... you've set the bar high here because of your history. Thanks for what you've done and are doing for us (the community). As others have indicated, there's genuine excitement regarding your "baby". Personally, I'm trying to temper that excitement a bit, but it's difficult. Really looking forward to release day. Wishing you the best!

How can it be a misguided opinion? It's how I myself feel when flying FC3 aircraft. It's not an opinion, it's how I feel. Other people feel different.

Yes fully playable kn singleplayer F4 will use Jester 2.0 Which will later come to the F14 too.

Игра с модами

Рецепт простой. Собираете команду, подписываете договор, разрабатываете свой модуль и обвешиваете его нужным количеством пулеметов 50 калибра. PS Задача на добавление М2 есть. Но стоит в очереди с низким приоритетом, поэтому сроки непредсказуемы.

Fighting an AI plane, is completely different that fighting a human adversary. I feel it would be similar if we could "drive" the SAMs our selves.

А какие проблемы могут быть с добавлением того же пулемета на UH-1? Если модель вертолета не изменится, а также структура мода (такое было по-моему всего два раза со времен старта дкс), то все будет работать. Тот же мод pylon m23 работает уже года три. А так задевает слушать, что у нас нету пару часов, чтоб добавить пулемет, но и вам самостоятельно добавлять не дадим. Такой моддинг закрыт, хотя проект рекламируется именно за счет модов. Странно получается... PS Никто не просит ЕД обеспечивать техподдержку модов, достаточно лишь сделать так, чтобы миссии не крашились при отказе модов, как это сделано в большинстве игр, когда мод-юниты или вещи попросту заменяются или исчезают, если перестали работать. Сейчас как раз проблема с тем, что ЕД отпихивает моды в сторону, инструментария нет, все делается через ж..пу. В итоге, насмотревшись блогеров, американцы себе наставят кривых конкордов или англоязычных кабин с глючными текстурами, а потом пишут в техподдержку.

Growling Sidewinder снимает ролики типа "F-22 Raptor, B-21 Raider против С400 и Су-57" или какого-нибудь вымышленного SR-72 Darkstar. Для ДКС есть и мод Годзиллы - как по мне, никакой разницы, и то и то фантастические вселенные. И если ЕД высоко оценивает вклад Growling Sidewinder в продажи ДКС, то не понятно, почему тогда не дать инструментарий для модов. Я бы сам поставил тот же проклятый .50 cal на UH-1, а не умолял здесь безрезультатно 10 лет.

I will post the preliminary changelog shortly Inviato dal mio SM-F731B utilizzando Tapatalk

Hi, please disregard. I copied the install folder from C to my DCS SSD, edited the path in the registry and ran the updater from there. This seems to have worked.

I feel old myself. She’s getting on a bit herself now, bless her. I just about remember some of those floppy drives but never got anywhere near any. I’m an early 70s jobby so you were probably already well into your flares by the time I saw pong and the like. There’s a thread here somewhere debating whether or not we’re in the golden age of flight sims now or had it been and gone. I daren’t mention it really. It’s come on a bit though eh?

QFF, QNH, QFE concepts and temperature and density effects in the atmosphere are quite complicated subjects, let alone the calculations for them. It would be great if there was some guidance material from ED on best practice for 3rd party and mod developers so that we all get standardised results for indicated altitude and indicated airspeeds. Perhaps a funtion to give indicated altitude and speed instead of the current true altitude. Ideally AI would also fly at such indicated altitudes, instead of true altitude. It would be great to set up a tanker in the mission editor to fly at a flight level, and pilots could join at the same flight level. Anyway, just my thoughts, getting off topic from OP...

Here's my first attempt

Yeah. Discord. It's almost a shame pretty much every squad/MP server uses it, because I'll only go there for things that have no other solution, like ordering the backplane for a FCP. The S/N ratio is asymptotic to Kindercare as often as not. Discord changes the value metric for a lot of things, but being somewhat non-social (for very large values of 'somewhat') that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Some impressions of my latest hop - chasing Bears together with my friend @JeffVader

Уважаемые разработчики, планируется ли более полная версия Су-25?

How long do we have to study before the written test?
