Added the option to equip BE, CE and EE with mode 4 IFF (new cryptographic unit, IFF panel and warning light, only installed in a few aircraft) in the module options. The F1M will be equipped with it by default. The AP light test now needs AC power to take place. Flight control system test now needs AC power to start. Fixed wheel brakes control in F1BE - right brake command was also moving the left brake, while left brake command was doing nothing. F1BE pitch/roll/rudder trim positions are synchronised in multicrew now. Added PBL 201 2300 l fuel tank to flyable versions of F1. Weight, balance and aerodynamics are accounted for. Fixed bug in which, when central and right external fuel tanks were mounted, no fuel was consumed. Brake warning light no longer turns on when actuating the brakes if the gear is deployed without weight on wheels. Several Hydraulic System fixes were made: Circuit 1 and 2 accumulators were not working correctly, now fixed. Combat flaps and brake lights logic was incorrect with engine off, now fixed. Added AC electric (400 Hz) cockpit sound. The seat height is now initialised before the simulation is unpaused at mission start. It eliminates a sudden pilot head position move once the simulation has started. F1BE: Fixed not moving rear seat rudder trim switch, when using keyboard. The seat height adjustment switches clickspots are correctly initialised now to eliminate clickspot position misalignments before the seat is moved for the first time. F1BE: Added keybinds for rear seat height adjustment. F1BE: Forward canopy now cannot be lowered and closed before the rear canopy is closed and locked. Added separate input commands for stages 1 and 2 of the radar elevation increase/decrease buttons. Added 'Disable force feedback effects' option to the module options. Pilot flight controls are set to neutral now when the pilot has lost consciousness. Added two input commands: 'Move throttle from Idle to Stop' and 'Move throttle from Stop to Idle'. Added 'button-like' input entry for the throttle idle cut function. It moves throttle to ‘Stop’ when pressed, and then back to ‘Idle’ once it is released. The movement speed for pilot stick and rudder by keyboard was increased by a factor of two. Now it is possible to click the throttle out from ‘Stop’ position, disregarding the actual throttle axis input. Then, the throttle will be animated in the cockpit to the actual axis input position. Communications: Added "Radio Selector Box defaults" section in the module options with default volume potentiometers positions. Now any of the default Voice Chat 'cockpit VoIP PTT' commands ('r.1', 'r.2', etc) can be used to activate transmission. It is made to reduce player effort to config (or deconflict between modules) Voice Chat input settings. Pressing any of those commands will activate Voice Chat transmission via the currently selected radio. Now both default Voice Chat 'cockpit int VoIP PTT' input commands can be used to activate crew communication in F1BE (given that "F1BE intercom hot mic always enabled" option is unchecked in the module options). Fixed radio status being incorrectly displayed as grey box (i.e. 'is turned off') in Voice Chat at hot start. Added "F1BE intercom hot mic always enabled" option to the module options, though Hot Mic itself is not operating correctly yet. Please use a default Voice Chat key command to talk to the crewmember (with this option unchecked). Pilot flight controls: Throttle will not make an abrupt jump to the actual position anymore when the joystick is moved for the first time after the mission was started. F1B: Stick, rudder and throttle are now always at the same position at both seats. F1BE: Now another seat afterburner detent position is correctly taken into account, if it was modified in module options. F1BE: Fixed resulting stick position when Force Feedback is enabled only in one of the two seats. F1BE: Throttle will not jump anymore when the second crew member joins. F1BE: Throttle transition between own and other seat input axis positions is now smoothly animated, when the FM control is transferred between seats. Controls Indicator: F1BE: With Combined Controls Mode disabled, and when another crewmember is present, the Controls Indicator now displays: a) other seat control input (grey index) when our seat has FM control, or b) own seat control input (white index) when other seat has FM control. In Combined Controls Mode white/grey symbols work as before. The throttle control input (white index) is additionally displayed in all F1 versions. It can be observed, with another crewmember being absent, when the input axis is moved with the throttle being at ‘Stop’. Stick/rudder positions now account for trim settings. Same applies to other seat controls positions in F1BE. F1BE. Controls Indicator now displays 'C' symbol before 'F' and 'R' symbols, when the Combined Controls Mode is enabled. Miscellaneous: Default 6DOF view restrictions are now available again for user modifications (now can be edited in ViewsF1Cmn.lua). Throttle handle and pilot hand got animation in the external 3D model. Module options dialog was updated - Force Feedback related options were arranged as a visually separate group. Cockpit tooltip and the corresponding command name in inputs for 'Air conditioning auto/manual switch' are now the same. Fixed IFF Mode C clickable switch tooltip. Added ‘Anti-ship Strike’ task to all F1 versions. Minor flight manual updates were made. DCS: C-101 Aviojet by AvioDev General: Added 'Disable force feedback effects' option to module options. Pilot flight controls are set to neutral now when the pilot has lost consciousness. Fixed batteries being constantly overheated when flying at high altitudes for quite a long time. Changed the module options tab name from 'C-101EB' to 'C-101'. The idle cutoff clickspot on the throttle handle is hidden now when the throttle is advanced forward from its idle position. Now it is possible to click the throttle out from ‘Stop’ position, disregarding the actual throttle axis input. Then, the throttle will be animated in the cockpit to the actual axis input position. Communications: Added 'Audio Control Panel defaults' options group to module options with default volume potentiometers positions. Now any of the default Voice Chat 'cockpit VoIP PTT' input commands ('r.1', 'r.2', etc) as well as both 'cockpit int VoIP PTT' commands can be used to activate transmission. It is made to reduce payer effort to config (or deconflict between modules) Voice Chat input settings. Pressing any of those commands will activate Voice Chat transmission via the currently selected radio. Pilot flight controls: Stick, rudder and throttle are now always at the same position at both seats. With Combined Controls Mode disabled, stick, rudder, and throttle will be animated to the new positions according to the other seat controls input, when FM control is transferred between seats. I.e. there will be no immediate jump to the new positions. FM will take this into account, thus avoiding abrupt aircraft trajectory changes, or engine stress in the case of throttle input. Controls Indicator: With Combined Controls Mode disabled, and when another crewmember is present, the Controls Indicator now displays: a) other seat control input (grey index) when our seat has FM control, or b) own seat control input (white index) when other seat has FM control. In Combined Controls Mode white/grey symbols work as before. The throttle control input (white index) can be observed now, with another crewmember being absent, when the input axis is moved with the throttle being at ‘Stop’. Controls Indicator now displays 'C' symbol before 'F' and 'R' symbols, when the Combined Controls Mode is enabled.

Хотел бы поздравить всех с праздником. Пожелать мирного неба. И особенно выразить огромную благодарность разработчикам . Ребят, то что вы делаете , это прям очень круто. Спасибо вам огромное. Несмотря ни на какие баги, которые безусловно есть , но в целом DCS это конфета!! Топчик! 10 из 10. Огромное довольствие от использования. Поверьте мы видим ваш огромный труд, и очень ценим.

I really appreciate that the Normandy map gets a lot of updates and attention, but it seems like every 2-3 months the frequency of every airfield changes. Which means I need to update every single one of my campaign missions, again and again. Also, sometimes parking spot numberings change too, that fundamentally mess up existing missions. Can you please tell me when the frequencies will be final? Only then I will update my missions, because I've done this 3 times already, and it's pretty tedious. Also, in the future please consider non-destructive updates, making sure that updates don't break existing content. Thank you

Because realism. Because planning, anticipation, fuel management, pressure to make ToT over a long ingress and get desired weapon effects otherwise hours have been wasted. Needing to AAR otherwise you just won't get home. Operating in some of the most heavily defended airspace in the world at that time. Needing a full strike package to work together, rather than just safely cruising around a killbox waiting for a TIC call. It doesn't appeal to everyone, but there are plenty who do want that. Desert Storm was a real 'pilots' war against a near-peer enemy. GWOT (especially in later years) was a low-intensity ground operation against insurgents and technicals, with a bit of uncontested air support thrown in.

Hi. Just making this thread for discussion of the most recent and future updates. Want to give my thanks for the long list of fixes. I especially appreciate the addition of the anti-ship role. I tried making an anti-ship mission a couple of months ago and was frustrated that I couldn't do so. Was happy to see it added in today's patch. Tested it out and it works quite well. Also, thanks for fixing the problem in the Mirage and C-101 where the controls weren't relaxed after black-out.

**DCS: SA-342 Gazelle February 2024 update** *Facelift* The upcoming update for the SA-342 Gazelle will introduce new features, fixes, quality of life improvements as well as a facelift to the external models and textures. We're gradually replacing the original liveries that stem from the release back in 2016 with highly detailed renditions that make full use of physically based rendering techniques (PBR), many of which are included in this update. The SA-342 Gazelle minigun variant not only received an update on the M134 and gunner models, it now features the first iteration of our gunner AI capable of making short work of any soft target it can get within its sights. *Community Contributors* Over the past few months Polychop Simulations has been working closely together with a number of very dedicated and exceptionally skilled community members who have shown an interest in contributing to the module by putting in their time, effort and expertise resulting in what is essentially a graphical overhaul for the SA-342 Gazelle as well as an extensive set of kneeboard pages and documentation on the all new French liveries that can be found in the module's Doc folder, or more continently, attached to this post. *Input system overhaul* With the upcoming update of the Gazelle we have overhauled the inputs system. This means that it is likely that you will have to rebind all of your controls for the Gazelle module. The inputs for the Gazelle are now split into separate categories for the three positions - Pilot, Copilot and Gunner (the latter for the Minigun variant only). The inputs system works differently depending on whether you are flying with other players in your aircraft ("multicrew"). When in "multicrew" mode, each player will only have access to the inputs according to their position. However, when flying the Gazelle in a singleplayer mission, or flying on a multiplayer server but without other players in the aircraft, the player will have access to multiple input categories depending on the position they are in. In short, this allows a single player Pilot to also use the Copilot inputs, and vice versa. The priority (in the event of two inputs being bound to the same switch) is determined by the currently occupied position. For example, if you have the 'Fire Laser' input from the Copilot bound to "Button 1", and the "Force Trim" from the Pilot inputs also bound to "Button 1", then pressing "Button 1" will action different behaviours depending on whether you are sitting in the Pilot or Copilot seat. However if you bind them to different buttons, you can use both from either seat. The available inputs are as follows: - Pilot position - access to Pilot and Copilot inputs (Pilot priority) - Copilot position - access to Copilot and Pilot inputs (Copilot priority) - Gunner position - access to Gunner and Pilot inputs (Gunner priority) Please note that we expect further disruption to the inputs system as we continue to bring improvements and add various missing inputs to the Gazelle. We thank you for your patience and understanding. *The future* While we have come to a point at which it is now all hands on deck for the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior module's final stretch, Polychop is determined to keep updating the SA-342 Gazelle module on all levels including but not limited to major features such as an English (Empirial units) cockpit, a George like AI pilot/gunner and the transition to the new rotor blur system seen in more recent rotary wing modules. We'd like to be transparent on the fact that the aforementioned final stretch of the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior module development will have a certain impact on the development of new features for the SA-342 Gazelle for the next few updates. https://youtu.be/mjk64Y3mXdE DCS: SA-342 Gazelle by Polychop Simulations Exterior model art updates Added: New PBR material for glass surfaces.

I think the sooner ED sits down with all the interested third parties and comes up with a common system that everyone switches to the better. To me realistic sensor implementation is now the thing that separates the good modules from the great ones. I'm sure not everyone feels the way I do, but for the most part the FMs in different modules seem pretty believable to me. But after seeing how the Phantom's radar will be modelled and what for example RAZBAM does, and then comparing it to what we had in the F-5E and the MiG-21... It's hard to go back to the old planes. I want to see the same, high level of quality in all the aircrafts' sensors and IFF is a part of that as well.

With more and more third party devs developing their own custom IFF system, it is really really getting time for ED to actually implement an IFF system to the core of DCS that everybody can use in order to avoid having lots of different but incompatible third party solutions for proper IFF simulation. Just my 2 cents.

Waste of time. Do the update, then a slow repair. That's the same as a clean vanilla install. Cheers! Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk

AGM-65 EO sub-mode Improvements Dear all, In the latest DCS update, the F-16's EO sub-modes (EO-VIS, EO-PRE, and EO-BORE) have received some updates to improve their logic and the AGM-65 missile seeker control interface for the F-16. For the most part the underlying functionality won't change all that much; but the AGM-65 seeker behavior will be more consistent and accurate within each sub-mode. Four terms (or modes) are used to describe the AGM-65 seeker operation with regards to the F-16 interface: BORE: Seeker is caged straight ahead in line with the missile body axis. SLAVE: Seeker is slaved to the SPI. SLEW: Seeker is steered by pilot input. TRACK: Seeker is tracking a target. When not in TRACK and the SOI is set to the MFD WPN format, the seeker will be in SLEW. When not in TRACK and the SOI is set to anything other than the WPN format, the seeker will be in either BORE or SLAVE, based on the current EO sub-mode: EO-VIS: Seeker is in SLAVE mode, slaved to the SPI, which is located at the TD box. EO-PRE: Seeker is in SLAVE mode, slaved to the SPI, which is located at the current steerpoint. EO-BORE: Seeker is in BORE mode, caged straight ahead. EO-VIS The main effort of the changes made to this sub-mode was to ensure that the logic received the same functional improvements that DTOS and VIS sub-modes received several months ago, specifically in regard to how the HUD/HMCS designations worked with the SPI and TGP aiming. The most significant changes that players need to be aware of is how the TMS Forward/TMS Aft commands function in pre- and post-designate, depending on whether the SOI is set to HUD/HMCS or WPN. When in pre-designate with the HUD or HMCS as SOI, the TD Box will be stabilized to the FPM (HUD) or HMCS Aiming Cross as it is now, and the first TMS Forward will ground stabilize the TD Box into post-designate (no change from before the update). When in post-designate with the HUD or HMCS as SOI, the SOI will remain set to HUD and HMCS, allowing the TD Box to be slewed to fine-tune the position on the ground as desired. This will be a noticable change from previous versions, in which entering post-designate simultaneously moved the SOI to WPN. Now, a second TMS Forward when already in post-designate will be required to move the SOI to WPN. When in post-designate with WPN as SOI, TMS Forward will command the AGM-65 to TRACK mode, and TMS Aft will slew the AGM-65 seeker back to the SPI (no change from before the update). To return EO-VIS to pre-designate, the SOI must be moved to the HUD or HMCS, and TMS Aft is pressed to cage the TD Box to the FPM. This is the other notable change from previous versions, in which pressing TMS Aft while WPN was SOI was also returning the EO-VIS to pre-designate with the SOI back to HUD or HMCS. As a result, it is now possible to return the AGM-65 seeker back to the SPI while keeping the SOI on WPN and remaining in post-designate. Since the seeker will remain in SLAVE mode while the WPN is not SOI, it is now easier to perform an off-boresight HMCS designation of a ground target for a handoff to the AGM-65. As long as the WPN is not SOI, the AGM-65 will remain slaved to the designated SPI location, even if at a gimbal limit. As the aircraft turns inbound and rolls out on the attack heading, the seeker will have arrived to the SPI, at which time the second TMS Forward may be pressed to transition the SOI to WPN for the final target acquisition and engagement. Even if you press TMS Forward too soon before the seeker has arrived at the SPI location, a press of TMS Aft while WPN is SOI and the SPI is within the gimbal limits will command the seeker to the SPI. Below is a summary of the EO-VIS procedure, with the changes highlighted in red: (HUD/HMCS SOI) TMS Forward to ground stabilize TD Box into EO-VIS post-designate. (HUD/HMCS SOI) TMS Forward again to set WPN as SOI and enter SLEW mode or DMS Aft to manually set WPN as SOI and enter SLEW mode. Seeker LOS circle appears. (WPN SOI) Slew seeker over target. (WPN SOI) TMS Forward to enter TRACK mode. (WPN SOI) TMS Aft to exit TRACK mode/slew seeker back to SPI but remain in SLEW mode or DMS Forward to set HUD/HMCS as SOI and enter SLAVE mode to reposition TD Box as desired. LOS Circle will disappear when seeker enters SLAVE mode. (HUD/HMCS SOI) TMS Forward to return SOI to WPN and re-enter SLEW mode at current SPI or TMS Aft to return to EO-VIS pre-designate to designate a new SPI if desired. EO-PRE Very little has changed in this sub-mode, but it is now possible to do a handoff from the FCR in GM, GMT, or SEA mode. When the FCR is SOI and set to GM, GMT, or SEA sub-modes, entering FTT or MTT will also transition the SOI to WPN and the AGM-65 seeker will enter SLEW mode. However, the seeker will still need to be manually commanded to TRACK mode using TMS Forward while WPN is SOI. (An automatic handoff to the AGM-65 directly into TRACK mode is not possible when using the FCR; this is only possible when using the TGP.) When the SOI is manually set to WPN, the LOS circle will appear since the AGM-65 is now in SLEW mode, regardless of whether the FCR is in FTT or MTT. TMS Aft while the WPN is SOI will command the seeker back to the SPI, but the SOI will remain set to WPN. The LOS circle will remain and the seeker can still be slewed unless the SOI is returned to FCR or TGP. EO-BORE Similarly to EO-PRE, little has changed with this sub-mode. If the SOI is not set to WPN, the seeker will be in BORE mode, returning the seeker to the missile body axis boresight position. --------------------------------------------------------- In addition, it must be noted that the SOI will automatically be set to WPN any time the TGP or the FCR enters a track mode, regardless of the selected EO sub-mode. Based on research, this reflects accurate behavior for the version of F-16 that is being simulated in DCS. Kind regards, Wags

T-38C Talon We are covering the most up to date model which and is still in service with the USAF. We dont have a ETA but this forum post is here to keep progress updates on this mod.

Thanks for the feedback, @Reflected make sure you use your contacts within Closed Beta testing as well. We will bring this up to Ugra. Thanks.

Hi, The old panel only has modes 1, 2 and 3 available. Mode 4 won't work despite the panel having the correspondent dials.

ну местами Бефор то был получше ИМХО В частности на западных образцах вроде стало поинтереснее, а вот на Российских , сомнительно, но Ок

F-18 definitely OP now. Holy crap even I can win a dog fight.

Oh god yes. There are so many “eh, let's just wing it” systems in DCS that either weren't originally interesting or that only received some token attention or work-around, but which have now become expected features that all modules have to do in one way or another without any unifying structure behind it. DTC and all the settings that go into that, dynamic mission programming, laser-guided weapons, cockpit environment controls, and (in the past) such obvious things like ground radar. So much is now standard that it should be part of the core, but we're looking down the barrel of an increasingly disparate and often mutually incompatible bunch of implementations. Sure, core systems don't sell planes, but I am kind of wondering how much effort is wasted on remaking these systems that should be universal by now.

I have time to do that so no problem, just every big update is a real problem for me due to low connection, I'll have just to update my fix, not a enormous work

Thanks for your effort, Morpheus. Just as REDEYE has stated - I have devoted all my free time to the Caucasus map. I will probably update my other mods once that is finished.

As soon as my DCS will be updated I'll make update of my fix, probably tomorrow (low connection here)

After the 22.02 update (2.9.3.51704 ) the whole DCS recived big BOOST for VR (due terrain streaming perhaps), its confirmed by many people. I can use even Marianas map (Guam!) which was previously simply unplayable for me in VR. I checked SA map again (RTX 4090, i9 13900K), and still its a problem of FPS and performance - and still its a vegation FPS issue on this map. To show it I did video, recorded direct from VR google (Quest, 72Hz, ASW off means 72FPS is a target). Currently I have absolutely no problems on any map except SA, so maps like Syria, Sinai, PG, Channel, Normandy (except maybe London and surrounding areas but we don't want to compare the forest only to buildings and the capital ok UK, do we? ) no any issue like this. The FPS issue in SA map is still present and not solved even after this patch. The test to show the problem for you was done on random area with .... forest only, the same on Caucasus map. On SA map is only good at high altitudes, there's still a big stutter near the ground due vegetation issue if the area happens to contain vegetation. I have been writing about this for a long time, giving many examples, but it has not yet been touched and fixed. In the video you can see problems with Razbam SA maps (vegetation). Worse time (17.1 vs 13.4 which gives cod efficiency by 27% compared to the Caucasus map, over a similar area), also more stutter - SA map FPS jumps from 72 to 54 FPS (visible stutter), Caucasus stable 72 FPS all the time. Also, you can check the location and the track (video was did on L-39, you need this module + SA map). DCS settings - nothing exaggerated" Request to solve this problem. test.trk

There is already a mod team working on the T-38A

That's true for every map in DCS. But with Normandy 2.0 it gets really annoying because: 1. It has the most aerodromes. 2. It constantly gets updated. 3. The frequencies get reshuffled in almost every patch. 4. Ugra reshuffle them on a whim, unaware of troubles it causes to content creators.

I can confirm that mission 2 is now working properly. Thanks for the fix!

С удовольствием слежу за вашими рассуждениями. Аж молодость вспомнил - экзамен по Основам радиолокации, ТСВЧ и т.п. (жуть! ) Всех с праздником!

^^^^ This. I use this in conjunction with a real weather injector, sometimes getting 17kt winds that cause a decent amount of deck pitching. Not as sporty as the Forrestal but still enough to cause some missed wired.

Hello WinWing staff. Could you please modify the WinWing software installer so these two lines get written at the end of the Export.lua file rather than at its very beginning? local wwtlfs=require('lfs') dofile(wwtlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/wwt/wwtExport.lua') When they are present at the beginning of the file, some users experiment low FPS, depending on which other export scripts they are using. On the contrary, it seems that placing the wwt lines at the bottom of the file don't break anything. Thank you.

A great update that deserves praise :)! Marianas were unplayable for me in VR, currently I have a constant 72 frames here (max for 72Hz Quest Pro), amazing, before it stuttered like hell here. All maps have recived boost (still only the South Atlantic lags behind, unfortunately). Awsome! Im ready for Phantom!

In somewhere, did someone request this livery ? I cannot find again it, now. (or ... never requested ?) B747's skin can be published soon. DC-10 (trib. MD-11F) 's is not. Its panel lines and wheathered layers have not been retouch for 8k. I'll try N8 National ones in the future ( ... not soon, not near ). That charter airline works for + with US military.

It has an upgraded transponder but no interrogator

Fabric texture on the elevators New bomb selection panel Additional testing happening with the bomb sight and terminal velocities, note the addition of the TV card on the top right of the computer

@BIGNEWYI think I've figured it out. The new update page now has a field for the MAP. Leaving it blank (I didn't know it was there) meant an unsuccessful upload.

A very simple suggestion, I think a simple tick box next to each mission in the "Instant Action" and "Mission" pages would mean users can remember which missions they have played and can then work their way through all the missions under both "Instant Action" and "Mission" menus. Could also be included for Training Missions also. In contrast, this does exist for campaigns which show a status of "Win", "Inactive" or "Defeat". Then each mission in each campaign also has a status of "Failed", "Success", and "Draw". Clearly something as complex isn't needed for Instant Action, Missions & Training, but something very simple would likely be useful. The purpose being users do not need to memorize or separately track which missions they have and haven't tried, and it gives a good incentive to work through them all. They could then be unticked again if the user wishes to replay any mission. So it's really just a simple tick box which the game remembers the status of. At least for myself I think I would get me to work my way through them all for all my modules and something so simple would get me playing more. Hopefully not the most difficult thing to implement, but I know it would take some time and effort. Hopefully there is some interest in this and many thanks in advance! Some very low effort example images to show what I mean are attached.

Forget it, he's on a roll!

@Yurgon@LOW_Hitman Wenn ich das Handbuch dieses Monitors richtig verstehe, müsstet ihr im Menü "Bildeinrichtung" einen Punkt haben, der "Trace Free" heißt. Dort müsstet ihr die Overdrive Einstellungen anpassen können. Müsste bis zu einem gewissen Punkt helfen. Wenn ihr es übertreibt, habt ihr negativ Ghosting indem ihr seht, dass weiße Rädner um die bewegten Objekte entstehen (Overshoot). Versucht mal ob ihr es hiermit in den Griff kriegt. Und natürlich Bildwiederholrate immer so hoch wie möglich. Wenn ihr kein Freesync o.ä. nutzt, könntet ihr auch mal "ELMB SYNC" testen. Wenn das das ist was ich vermute, werden damit schwarze Zwischenbilder eingeschoben. So wie früher beim CRT, das müsste das Bewegtbild schärfer erscheinen lassen.

When flying low over the town next to the airbase at the F-15E take-off IA mission, my fps doubled It's still lower than on other maps, but this improvement is remarkable. And as stated above, forested areas are still a problem.

We've had this conversation already. Save game functionality is coming. There already are airstarts and load mission functionality (even from other map) so you can have your missions divided into chunks or even offer only the fun part one. There are other sims with pilots regularly flying to other continents - I see no problem here. Of course not everybody likes long flights or have the time for it - nothing new. DCS just have to give us the possibility, the map big enough with bases for both sides and some sea to put the carrier far away enough.

OK, I finally found a way to move the Crew Status Indicator! The file that needs to be edited is crew_indicator_common.lua. This file is located in the main DCS install folder here: ...\DCS World OpenBeta\Scripts\Aircrafts\_Common\Cockpit Edit Line 58 to look something like this: base.init_pos = {0.50,0.75} -- {-aspect, -1.0 + size + 0.0525} Please note, the first pair of x & y coordinates are meant for my screen dimensions. The remarked coordinates are the default values. Make sure to make a backup of the original file in case things get messed up. Additionally, make a backup of the current file to account for new updates to DCS. Yes, these values would need to be changed after each DCS update. This overlay also affects the UH-1H Huey or other vehicle with a similar display option. Here is a screenshot that shows the location of each overlay. These positions correspond to external MFD displays.

I busted my rear gear twice landing at a short FARP (Tal Siman), not sure if it happened on landing or jamming the brakes to stop in time. I could hear some skid noises on my 3rd try so I pulsed the brakes a bit and didn’t wreck my plane. oh yeah, and, and As close to a Cobra as you’ll get outside of a Flanker, and low speed high AoA passes are fun heh

If the map is to be 'centered on Bagdad', just under 150NM away is Kermanshah and we can have a good old 80's disco over the Zagros mountain range with an ever-increasing 80's lineup of modules from the golden era of air combat. That's less distance to Mosul in the north, Basrah in the south and the border to the west which is just a big vacuum of nothingness. So basically, there's nothing around here but the Iranian border and the Tigris and Euphrates if you ignore the mountains in the northeast between Iran. The problem seems to be that everyone wants to simulate GW1, carrier ops and 900-1000 mile round trips. Why? There's no save game, I've read popular social media where seemingly no one has more than 15 minutes to fly. At the very least a 70 mile flight to the merge over some mountains has to be the most favorable 'game'. The Navy were guarding their own anyway and weren't playing that much due to technical reasons. It's always so weird what people say they want. I expect someone to make a new game-breaking original content video on this comment next week, how Afghanistan doesn't work for DCS, when I've said it for years.

Tested today following the patch. No matter what I did before, I suffered that brutal frame drop. I've just had a few minutes to test, but I've observed a serious improvement with low terrain textures. High terrain textures still leads to that immediate massive frame drop below 900ft though. Time will tell but I'm feeling quite positive about the progress being made. Edit: Built up areas still suffer quite drastic frame rate drops. In one instance, I was able to restore performance by alt-tabbing as I flew over Rio Grande. But at other times it did not help. This patch is definitely a step in the right direction overall.

Jesus Christ this amount of teasing should be illegal!

I've made changes to some of the LUA files responsible for rendering. I bet they also affected the trees rendering distance. I've recently spent some time playing with the mountainous regions. Here are the results:
