I'll provide some evidence supporting a possible GPLv3 violation. I've examined strings extracted from the Moza executable, which hint at an underlying connection to the open-source VPforce TelemFFB project. Within Moza's code, we see identifiers like vp_dcs and VpAlgorithm that incorporate the "vp" prefix, a clear nod to VPforce, though they don't exactly mirror VPforce’s original identifiers. This suggests that Moza's software may be a derivative work inspired by or partially based on TelemFFB. Given the technical leap from Python to C++, Moza likely used AI-powered tools, potentially GPT-based, to translate parts of the Python-based TelemFFB core code into C++ for their compiled binary. If Moza's code does indeed derive from TelemFFB, GPLv3 would require them to release their own source code under the same open-source license, something they haven't done. This evidence suggests that Moza may have created a derivative product based on TelemFFB without complying with GPLv3, raising concerns about a possible license violation. Next we see hastily 1:1 copied effect adjustment names They even copy pasted damage variables into their export.lua (even the line endings match!) So to summarize (thanks ChatGPT)

01 November 2024 Dear Fighter Pilots, Partners and Friends, The latest DCS update contains important adjustments and enhancements to the DCS Core Game that are primarily based on your feedback. In addition to improvements to AI and VR spotting dot sizes, there has been some useful work to certain weapons and the Mission Editor. Several modules have also received valuable changes, particularly the F-16C, F/A-18C, AH-64D, and CH-47F. The memory leak fix related to ship water trails has also been implemented. With our Afghan terrain team working full power on the Eastern region, this week's development report also highlights certain improvements being made to the Southwest Afghanistan region, notably to the airfields, general landscape detail, as well as more precise and varied normal maps that will result in higher quality terrain textures, especially at low to medium altitudes. Please read the details below. The wonderful new F-16C Dragon’s Fury campaign by SorelRo is available in the latest DCS Update. Also available is the cracking AH-64D Outpost Campaign by StoneSky. To enjoy these great new campaigns, please don’t forget to update to the latest DCS version. Thank you for your passion and support. Yours sincerely, Eagle Dynamics DCS Update Development Progress DCS Core In the latest update, weapon systems received valuable optimizations including to the AIM-120 guidance system. Further enhancements focus on a long list of AI improvements, air defence unit effectiveness, as well as various needed bug fixes. We sincerely extend our gratitude to the Closed Beta Test members and the community for their valuable contributions. Other improvements include an Arleigh Burke class weapon selection panel and a general air defence unit update that avoids unrealistic identification and engagement without clear line of sight to target. DCS: F-16C Viper The F-16C Viper now features independent MFD brightness controls, saved master modes for Missile Override, and fixes for TMS/FCR functionality and CCIP steering. Automatic steerpoint sequencing now functions correctly, and the 152nd livery typo is corrected. Several radar improvements are also included. Work progresses on the Sniper ATP, Flight Model, and FLCS tuning. DCS: F/A-18C The F/A-18C receives the ability to dual-rack carriage of GBU-32s and various fixes for radar and navigation functions. Radar tuning and Multi-Sensor Integration (MSI) enhancements are ongoing, aiming to elevate its combat performance and versatility. DCS: AH-64D Air Targeting Mode of the Fire Control Radar was introduced, along with updates to mission and fuel functionality. Avionics and targeting bugs continue to be tuned, and we continue to improve stability and yaw control. DCS: CH-47F Updates include automatic turn coordination, Longitudinal Cyclic Trim (LCT), and initial Differential Air Speed Hold (DASH). These all greatly enhance stability and control. Significant improvements to radios and cockpit functionalities, along with AFCS tuning, are underway. DCS: WWII Asset Pack & Other Aircraft Modules New animations for WWII soldiers, damage model fixes, and aircraft adjustments across modules enhance immersion and realism. Notable updates include fixed brakes and visuals on aircraft such as the Fw 190 and Bf 109, and improved Yak-52 lighting for night flights. DCS: Supercarrier Airboss view fixes and logic for AoA repeater lights, with new deck crew animations approaching launch. Afghanistan Development Report Work continues on both the Afghanistan Southwest region and the entire Afghanistan map. The ground mesh resolution across Afghanistan has been improved along with optimisation and bug fixes across the Southwest. The road network has been enhanced, especially the mountain roads. Additionally, ground geometry artefacts have been corrected. Object model inaccuracies have been fixed and unique airfield objects have been added to diversify the scenery. We are also pleased to inform you that the Normal Map textures across the entire Afghanistan map have been refined for improved low-altitude visuals. Our team is mainly focused on finalising the East region of the Afghanistan map. Work on the airfields of Bagram, Bamiyan, Gardez, Ghazni, Jalalabad, Kabul, Khost, Sharana, and Urgun is going well and the final stages of creating unique scenes for these airfields and their operational logic within the DCS Core is underway. We have achieved significant progress on new roads, rivers, and lakes, as well as unique object models for the capital city of Kabul. We look forward to your feedback. F-16C Dragon’s Fury Campaign by SorelRo In this 15 missions campaign you will fly the DCS: F-16 Viper as part of the 23rd Fighter Squadron at Andersen AFB in Guam. You will take part in an escalating conflict between US forces and Chinese PLN and PLA forces that are attacking the Mariana Islands under the pretext of helping the Chamorro Nation gain independence. The campaign is designed around large strike packages, and you’ll fly alongside F-15Cs, F-15Es, F/A-18Cs, B-52Hs, E-3As, and KC-135 while trying to repel Chinese forces. Key Features: 15 story-driven missions Over 4000 voiceovers Large variety of missions: CAP, SEAD/DEAD, CAS, and Precision Strikes Detailed briefings, kneeboard files, and supporting documentation for each mission We hope you enjoy the new DCS: F-16C Dragon’s Fury and AH-64D Outpost campaigns. Thank you again for your passion and support, Yours sincerely,

This has been known about/speculated about for a good bit, but I have a decent track replay showcasing the problem. F-5 ownership required. The first track is with the ground units included, the second track is a copy of the first track but the ground assets have been removed. You can clearly see right from the beginning of the track that the ground units are causing the spotting dots to not properly render. Once the planes move away from the ground assets, they start to pop in. Later in the track you can see large formations of spotting dots completely disappear and re=appear as I move my head around. In the second track, dots are visible at all times. No dissappearing dots. It's unclear whether it's just the amount of ground units, the type of ground units, or the proximity of ground units to the air units that is causing the issue. As the spotting dots will phase in/out depending on viewing angle and distances here. dots start invis.trk dots start invis - ground units removed.trk initially invisible final.miz

HMS Gloucester in rough seas. Points to note, HMS Gloucester's funnel badge was an actual shield shape, but the 3 other ships in this class had a round funnel badge, also HMS Edinburgh had hers mounted on the funnel, and not on the gantries like her sister ships, but for simplicity all are the same shape and location.... I'm away to Thailand on vacation next week, so looking at pushing this out when I return, she's definately going to be released in 2024.

A recent OH-6A 1st Person view video. Start at 8:40 for actual flying. I noted his feet and the pedal inputs. The transition from more left pedal during takeoff and moving to forward flight, to right pedal. Than reversing back as he slowed down and landed. Good reference.

maybe you could explain what the relevance is of "code based libraries based on the embargoed IP from the patents that just expired" to the issue that Walmis brought up? Walmis is not asserting a patent was infringed on, he's stating he owns the copyright to the source code and has chosen to release that source code under GPL (not making it "proprietary", that was your word not his). GPL requires that the source code for all derivative works must also be released into the public domain. Walmis asserts that there is evidence that the source code was copied , and that the derivative work by Moza was not placed in the public domain as required. He didn't threaten legal action, although it would be within his legal to right to do so under copyright law since he is the copyright holder, and since gpl is a license not a contract - which is an important distinction in many countries where IP is concerned. This brings us to the question - is copyright law in once country enforceable in another country? Maybe, but there's a lot to unpack there, and its beyond the scope of this conversation. Looks like to me that Walmis has chosen just to call them out with the hopes that either 1) Moza will release their source code into the public domain so that we may all benefit (the original intent of GPL), or 2) that people think twice before purchasing Moza FFB hardware given the likelihood that they infringed on his license. I tried my best to give a thoughtful response to your 3 posts, so that you might have a better understanding of the issue. Hopefully, that has happened:)

HMS York in bad weather... think I'm almost done with this Destroyer, messed around with the SeaDarts, if I use the default, they hit nothing and detonate 3-5NM from the ship. Using Beldin's code which is basically the SMR2 with the seadart model, it's deadly.. Now......it's a big mod due to textures (1.5GB) so the ED file location isn't going to cut it, so will need to find a decent file hosting site, that's not going to cause any issues. There was only 4 batch 42's for the Royal Navy, all represented here. HMS Edinburgh HMS York HMS Manchester HMS Gloucester

@trev5150 Maybe you could help us all understand your position by articulating your argument in more intelligent terms that are relevant to the discussion, rather than just in rant form? I'll make it easier for you, in fact, I'll even help make your point more clear so that others can better understand your position. Which assumption(s) below are you challenging? TelemFFB is Software by Walmis which is protected under the GPL license Moza created a derivative work from Walmis' software Moza must credit the original work and release source code for their derived work under the terms of GPL License

I played back the tracks for these and the differences are dramatic. The tracks with no ground units, all these aircraft dots are visible: The track with the ground units, almost all aircraft are completely gone: For reference, these are my graphics settings:

I've been following this thread with quite some interest for a while now as I'm very curious about the current INS behaviour and accuracy. Unfortunately I feel like the thread is steering off topic by a lot now, as the original question by @Nealius was targeted at the accuracy and behaviour of the F-16s INS and its interaction with GPS, not about JDAM accuracy, so I don't really understand why there is all this talk and tests on JDAM accuracy now. As @Lord Vader has pointed out several times in this thread, JDAM guidance doesn't work properly as of now (at least if used with INS provided STPs) and is very much WIP atm. tldr: JDAM accuracy is a different issue than the accuracy of the F-16s INS. I would very much like to see this thread to go back to address the original question if the F-16s INS is actually doing what it's supposed to do and if GPS and manual fixes update it properly, so that it is possible to deliver unguided munitions precisely as described in the original post by @Nealius: @Nealius I would also appreciate it if you could use the Caucasus map to demonstrate the issues that you're seeing, not just because not everyone has the Kola map available, but also because the map itself might introduce issues (Kola has a very broad range of varying magnetic declination, which might play a role here). So it would be good to know if you experience the same issues using the Caucasus map.

This genre benefits from innovators and start ups. Without them we wouldnt have high end rudder pedals, collectives or a new generation of FFB at all. Each to their own in the choices they make but I'll be staying well clear of a company for whom even the simplest, least arduous and mutually benefical terms of an open source licence are simply things to be plagiarised and be rolled over without concern.

Every mention of the Corsair resets the counter and makes the devs redo the EFM.

I can't say for certain but I am fairly convinced that this bug has been present since day 1 of the improved spotting dot implementation, as I would have periods where dots would phase in and out as I turned my head on ECW which is very ground-unit heavy. This rather complicates pretty much all feedback that ED have been receiving re: spotting dots, especially in VR. As many users have been trying to point out that they're not getting massively oversized dots when they play, whereas others insist they have been. It looks like both groups were probably correct, depending on the mission you're playing some users could have been getting comically oversized dots while other users with the exact same hardware and on the same settings were borderline blind because they were playing ground-unit heavy missions.

Relevant thread:

Thread on it here now, with some helpful screenshots to illustrate how dramatic an impact it has.

Compare and contrast, a short track with and without ground units. Need to own the F-5. Ground units will make dots disappear atm. dots start invis.trk dots start invis - ground units removed.trk

Something is happening for the original map of DCS: Afghanistan but I'm not talking about it yet. More Information Soon™ .

I noticed this as well. Even with fuel set as low as possible. I tried flying it with the soldiers and a rocket pod. In the words of some guy on the Hill "DONT". LMFAO!!!!! Have not seen Weird Al in ages. Who cant wait!

Continue working on synchronization (WIP). NOTE: Great progress has been made on the Advanced Flight Control System (AFCS) and is undergoing testing and tuning. Among other things, it will provide automatic turn coordination and several auto-pilot modes. DCS: Mi-24P Hind by Eagle Dynamics Added: Mi-24P Afghanistan Weapons practice mission. Fixed: Rearming causes the side door to be visually closed if it was open before that but logically it stays open and triggers cabin seal warning if not closed. Fixed: Radio source selector tooltip: R-828 and JADRO positions in wrong order. Improved: Refactor of hit detection logic for Petrovich AI to more correctly report target miss. Known Issue: we are aware about sporadic gun shooting lag if the pilot is trying to shoot a gun while there are two human crew members present. We are working on isolating the issue and fixing the issue. NOTE: Progress made on the full manual and its English translation is in its proofreading and editing phase. RI-65 audio warning system has new audio phrases recorded for the English version and we are working on their integration. DCS: Supercarrier by Eagle Dynamics Fixed: Airboss: player can't return to Boss view after Select Role window. Fixed: S-3B - incorrect AoA indexer repeater lights logic.

Bort numbers DCS Mirage F1 by Aerges Systems: Fixed NWS high sensitivity being not enabled at first start of a mission. Fixed NWS having excessive effect on steering. F1BE: Rear seat NWS high sensitivity button is initialized now in the pressed position at hot ground start (same like at the forward seat). Fixed the wheel brakes light randomly flashing at the first launch of a mission with cold ground start. Fixed oscillating behavior in FFB introduced in the previous patch for some FFB configurations. Increased lower limit for FFB force to 20%. Radar: Now, when APS (TWS) mode is entered, the radar automatically switches to 60 degrees, one line scan. Previously it was not entering APS until those scan parameters were selected in the cockpit. Fixed the inability to automatically lock a target in auto acquisition modes - TEL/BZ. Transitions between 30 and 60 degrees areas, and between 1 line and 4 lines scans now don't cause the radar screen to be cleared. Input: Added "Telemeter/zone scanning switch - BPZ (BZ)" default assignment to inputs. Added missing input command for 'Fuel quantity reset thumbwheel' decrease action. F1BE: rear seat TACAN channel selectors and VOR/ILS frequency selectors now work with axis input.

F1BE: Fuel Quantity Reset Thumbwheel now can be controlled by keys input at the rear seat. Fuel Quantity Reset Thumbwheel is now accelerated with time when controlled by keys. 'VOR/ILS-OFF-TACAN' and 'Omnibearing' keyboard/joystick inputs will work only when the player is at the front seat. Fixed TACAN and VOR/ILS channel/frequency knobs animation, when those are controlled by a joystick axis. The 'Fuel quantity reset thumbwheel' is now correctly animated when keys are used to increase/decrease fuel amount. F1BE: The following switches can't be activated from the rear seat anymore with keyboard/joystick: 'Radar BZ/OFF/TL' switch, 'Fuel dipper' switch. Sound: Added canopy fracturing sound. F1BE: Fuel counter 'click' sound will now not be constantly heard anymore, when forward and rear seat readings are different. F1BE: Added missing fuel counter 'click' sound in the rear seat. Textures and liveries: Added mipmaps to all liveries textures to gain refresh rate at different distances (LODs). Fixed Jordan Air Force (DDA) livery. Improved gear textures (WIP). General: Minor edits in Special Options visual layout. DCS: C-101 Aviojet by AvioDev Fixed wingspan value. It affects the ability to set the aircraft at some start positions on some airdromes. Fixed self-oriented nose wheel yaw animation. Fix in first training mission. Detailed description of step 36 (audio panel setting). HM knob on the Audio Control Panel is now initialized in 'ON' (pulled) position. HOT MIKE (Hot Mic) and CALL functions in Voice Chat have been reworked: When CALL is selected at another seat, it will override INT and HM volumes of the current seat. Master Volume knob will be used for crewmember voice volume control. When PTT is pressed with INT mode selected at another seat, it will override HM volume of the current seat. INT volume knob will be used for crewmember voice volume control. Otherwise when HM is selected at another seat, it will enable HM volume knob for crewmember voice.

Dear all, as always we would like to ask you for your kind feedback for the recent patch. Primarily we want to bring to your attention the meticulously crafted new WSO startup procedure training lesson, which hopefully will entice more of you to pick up the boss's seat. We also added a plethora of set commands for JESTER, following the same example as from the F-14, to allow you to make your scripted missions even more immersive and to provide us with the tools necessary for the upcoming Yom Kippur Campaign. Noteworthy is also the JESTER Navigation Update Part 2. We hope you enjoy these and the other items from the changelog, and as always, thank you for your kind and continued feedback and support.

Well, I tried. A Mark Twain quote comes to mind here, but I wont bother... From the license itself.... 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program. 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.) 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) So why is Moza prohibited from publishing the source code?

Any word on if iranian fields will be added, they are in the "high detail" area but don't see anything listed. Major mistake if not.

If they took the code and translated it into a different programming language, then this is no more legal than if I translate Harry Potter to a different language and sell it as my own. That's obviously not legal. By default, copyright law doesn't grant permission to distribute someone else's code (or derivations of such), but the GPL gives permission, as long as you follow the rules. Moza didn't follow the rules, so then they don't have permission to distribute. Easy as. The only real question I see is whether the evidence presented so far is sufficient in a court of law, but copying variable names that refer to VPForce seems like it has a good chance of being regarded slam-dunk evidence. And it's likely that with a little digging, far more evidence can be found. Anyway, this is a big legal risk to Moza and buyers of the base, since at any point, Walmis can sue and force Moza to stop providing their software, as well as ask for a substantial claim. And the courts are unlikely to see this as an accident, and willful copyright infringement can result in a $150k claim in the US alone. And Walmis can sue in the EU and other places as well. Even if Walmis doesn't want to run the risk or put in the effort, any other FFB competitor can at any point take on all the risk & effort of a court case, if they team up with Walmis to run Moza out of town with tar and feathers. PS. All of this has been known for a long time, and there is already an established method to copy the functionality of existing code, without running the risk of getting sued.

You don’t get it. A (comparatively) big chinese company takes advantage of code that was created by enthusiasts without credit and without making their own code public as they are supposed to. It‘s not about starting a pissing contest or a legal battle, it is about calling them out for it. And by the way, that has nothing to do with patents.

Guess that makes my VPForce Rhino decision that much easier....

I agree that we need a Germany map. I think a Battle of Berlin map would be an excellent choice personally as I was thinking of what map would work with our late war aircraft and the upcoming La-7 and the eventual Me-262. We would be able to have both Western and Eastern fronts on the same map provided it is made large enough.

Its been reproduced and reported thank you

Real pylotes don't sit in front of a monitor to fly.

All HB aircraft got an update last patch, the changelogs didn't make it in to the changelog posted to the ED site, but were posted on the forums later on.

Outstanding, just waiting to face that beast! Please We need an S300 PMU, I know there is the HDGT mod but seems to be abandoned and not works really well...

Thanks for the suggestions! It's definitely doable with the already existing filters, just gonna need to run the script a couple of times. I'll try it out when I wake up.

Zooming is Cheating. I only fly in VR and never use the zoom function. Real pilots can't zoom with their Eyes either.

Ich kann ihn gut nachvollziehen, es muss nicht alles Sinn für jeden ergeben. Viele verschiedene Ansichten ermöglichen einen breiten Horizont. Und Horizont ist doch für uns Möchtegern Flieger Geil oder .

In line with the change log entry about the engine sounds being reverted- I noticed in the above video that as the F-104 slows to subsonic (approximately 30 seconds in), the J-79 howl/engine noise fades back into the cockpit. Which makes sense, seeing as the engine’s behind the pilot and thus you’d be outrunning the engine’s noise. Given the F-4Es similar engine placement- as in far behind the pilot/WSO/RIO seats - shouldn’t the J-79 engine sound fade down above the Mach also for the Phantom II? Figured since the sounds were being reviewed anyway I’d point this out. OFC, if the SMEs say it never did this in real life please disregard.

Credit where credit is due, Chinook is flying great right now!!!

@zbysiek Hello, Please disregard the following wall of text, if it's too much work, too complex to accomplish from a batch conversion. They're just suggestions. If it's already being taken into account, pardon me because I'm not up to speed (I didn't read all the pages in this thread, sorry all!). I wonder if you can separate sizes and formats depending on the type of texture and aplication? Core and Modules? And for Modules, if you can separate packages for such batch process, "external textures" from "cockpit textures" ? For example, this is what I've manually done (took weeks then!) for myself a few years back (for older DCS 2.5.6, not latest DCS versions). I found outstanding results for smoother performance, with minimal (pratically unnoticeable) graphical difference: CORE textures (weapons, tanks, ships, vehicles, non flyable aircraft, etc, etc - i.e, every other texture not belonging to Maps or Modules) Diffuse maps (the main textures) ---- resized to 75% of original (4096 pixels become 3072; 2048 pixels become 1536, etc). Bump maps and Specular maps ---- resized to 50% of original (4096 pixels become 2048; 2048 pixels become 1024, etc) MODULE textures - External textures Diffuse maps (the main textures) ---- resized to 75% of original (4096 pixels become 3072; 2048 pixels become 1536, etc). Bump maps and Specular maps ---- resized to 75% of original (4096 pixels become 3072; 2048 pixels become 1536, etc). - Cockpit textures Diffuse maps (the main textures) ---- size remains as they are originally (I think some could be resized but, as they're so close to POV, pixelization becomes evident, so best avoid) Instruments / Gauges ---- resized to 75% of original (4096 pixels becomes 3072; 2048 pixels become 1536, etc). Bump maps and Specular maps ---- resized to 75% of original (4096 pixels becomes 3072; 2048 pixels become 1536, etc). All the .DDS textures converted to 8-bit whenever possible, whatever the case (i.e, no use of 32-bit textures as far as possible). Even better, if there is any .DDS texture for the above that has no transparency alpha, then converted to DXT1 (and not DXT5). - - - - Please don't bother with the Maps (the terrains), it's not really worth it. The problem is not so crucial with these because all Maps have their own "LOW" textures. Core and Modules don't have these (they use single set of textures), so are the most problematic. That said, there is a simple trick that works well for slightly smoother rendering, which is to use the corresponding "LOW" (.min) trees in place of the "HIGH" ones in a Map. There are then improvements without any prejudice for graphics, for those that wish to keep Terrain Textures set at "HIGH" (terrain remains the same, difference for trees is very minimal). Benefit impact in VRAM might be small, but smoothness is noticed, especially in forested areas where tree textures are being triggered/rendered by the dozens. Or at least I woldn't bother much with Maps (terrain), unless it's an 8K texture that is found - then maybe it should be 4K. Lastly, and still about Maps, if you're going ahead and doing it anyway... You may have already noticed that all the Maps use some sort of a system in which, if you resize a texture differently (or use different format) and repackage it again inside the respective .ZIP where it belongs, it may produce a rendering error once in the game - parts in the terrain to which that .ZIP package content corresponds become fully black. Meaning, for the Maps, pay attention to the .ZIP packages where all textures inside have same size and format. For these, you either resize ALL the textures exactly same format and size inside their corresponding .ZIP package, or otherwise problems will be ahead once in the game. PS: sorry all for the wall of text!

Not sure if this is the best place for it but I thought I'd share a little video I did with the F1 and Force Feedback implementation here:

So say we all. Let's hope we won't have to celebrate the 10th anniversary of this thread.

Progress Update: SME Testing. As development on our T-38A Talon continues, we’re excited to share insights from recent Subject Matter Expert (SME) testing. Our SME team, comprised of experienced pilots with first-hand knowledge of the T-38A, has been working closely with us to refine the aircraft’s performance and behavior in DCS. Their feedback has been instrumental in refining various aspects, from the aircraft's flight dynamics to the accuracy of its 3D model. In its current state, alongside countless performance test flights, our Talon has undergone several mock training sessions simulating real-world scenarios. This has allowed us to assess the aircraft’s performance across a variety of use cases, providing valuable insights into areas needing refinement, while also confirming the accuracy of several key flight characteristics. With their permission, we’d like to share the full, transparent testimonies from two of our SMEs, both of whom have extensive experience flying the T-38A: Murdock: Toby: We are incredibly grateful for the valuable insights provided by our SME team and contributors, and we look forward to sharing further updates as we make additional progress. We hope that their positive outlook serves as a preliminary showcase for the love and attention our team is putting into this project. Stay tuned for more as we continue to push toward delivering the most authentic and immersive consumer-available T-38A experience.

Thank you have a good time she looks just "BLOODY GOOD SHOW"..... I think that's how they would phrase it

I am a lazy man, so I can't promise that I will spend too much further time on narrowing it down. I might tho lol. What others have discovered is that 100 may or may not be a magic number. Someone previously ran some tests and found that having anything over 100 ground units started to cull the air dots. I think there is another layer of complication relating to the actual proximity of the air dots to the ground dots, I may get around to doing some testing there as well. But there may be a universal 100 dot cap complicating things.

I'm just wondering if ED is serious. They need to update like in 2.9.5 and fix this Bug. Seriously, who wants to see Black Squares in the Air and Ground? No Bug fix = No more Money from me. No Iraq No Kola No Eurofighter No Tornado No Bo-105

This BTW doesn't work for AI aircraft, but only for player (and client) aircraft.

Yeah would be great to fly this great campaign in the real Theater... please

Lol can attest that in force 6 and 12 winds, or what all things being equal would be sea state 5 and 9 respectively the sea looks nothing like that. At 5 its getting rough, extensive foaming crests. At 9 your talking 50 foot waves and more, your not seeing sh*t low down due to the spray/foam visability very limited. Just to indicate how poor the new weather system is, you cannot have force 12 winds in clear skies, its just not happening! Fundemental error and no thought put into the design at all. I would suggest that the dev's speak to someone that has spent some time at sea as the current presentation is laughable.

Thanks for the report. You may keep providing us further feedback, though we know what the issue is for long time, and we reported it, as it must be fixed by ED. It's not at Third Party devs side.
