Indiafoxtecho FB: As 2024 comes to a close, we'd like to share a recap of our DCS activities this year, and some preview screenshots of the new G.91 cockpit. MB-339A/PAN +++++++++ The Macchino continues to be one of the most beloved modules to us, and in 2024 we have introduced a number of fixes and improvements. In particular: FLIGHT DIRECTOR SYSTEM: The most significant addition this year is undoubtedly the implementation of the Flight Director system, based on a PID control. This addition extends the training possibilities, which now include instrumental landings. SPECIAL OPTIONS: New special options have been introduced, allowing users to customize their flight experience on the MB-339. These options provide greater flexibility in configuring the module to personal preferences. NEW KEY BINDINGS: We have expanded the number of available keybindings to allow for more intuitive and comprehensive control of the aircraft. FLIGHT MODEL IMPROVEMENTS: The flight model has undergone several updates, further refining the aircraft's performance. In particular, improvements have been made to ground behavior during taxiing and takeoff, making these phases more realistic. BUG FIXES: We have worked tirelessly to address various issues reported by the community. Some of the key bug fixes have been: - More accurate Gunsight adjustments. - Resolved GPS and TACAN issues, which now correctly indicate magnetic heading. - Fixed incorrect altimeter values. - Numerous other minor optimizations that improve stability and overall experience. FUTURE UPDATES: The MB-339 remains in continuous maintenance, and we will continue to release updates and bug fixes to ensure the highest level of quality and fidelity. Additionally, we are considering introducing new features, such as the ability to deploy AIM-9L and/or Magic II air-to-air missiles. Although this is a fictional feature for the A version, it could be an interesting addition to expand the module's operational capabilities. DCS G.91 ++++++ Although we have been very quiet about the development of the G.91 module, rest assured that we have been working on it quite a lot in the past few months: this module remains a key project for us, and development is actively progressing. In particular we have just completed the the total refactoring of the cockpit model, and, while the textures are still WiP, we are happy to finally share with you some screenshot of the pilot's office. The next major step is to fully integrate the new cockpit with the aircraft code on the aircraft to date, allowing us to get rid of the old model, which we no longer consider up to the high-quality standards achieved by DCS World. We believe the G.91 development will proceed at a much faster pace and we are confident that we will be able to release a first version of the DCS G.91 by 2025. While we cannot commit to a specific date just yet, our philosophy remains unchanged across all our products: "It is done when it is done." Thank you for your patience and support as we continue working on our projects - a usual we'll keep you posted with the G.91 progress as soon as possible.

Really loving this map Got down and dirty & did a "Thunder Run" into down town Baghdad. Enjoyed that most of the generic building & objects were destructible. P.S. I'm just finishing off the M1A1 & 2 Abrams liveries in the pics & will release as a pack in the next few days Links Added: US M1A2 Abrams HD livery pack 1 for "Operation Iraqi Freedom" US M1A1 Abrams HD livery Pack 2 for "Operation Desert Storm"

Today we are releasing a manual fix for the F-4E FROG-7 and FROG-7 CA Campaigns. This update resolves the taxiing issues caused by pathing changes for multiple missions within the campaign. While a future patch will have these changes applied automatically, we wanted to issue a fix for those who have been patiently waiting and were wanting to fly the campaign immediately. Attached is a zip file containing a nested 'mods' folder that you should paste into your base DCS folder (not saved games). This should properly nest the following folders and files afterward. Thank you all for your patience and hope you thoroughly enjoy the campaigns as intended. Stay tuned for news about future campaigns sometime soon. frog7_Jan2025_update.zip

Thanks. I checked why I didn't have this issue. It's because I have the Swedish asset pack installed. It uses the same texture. I will add it to the UK asset pack with the next fix update. Edit: I've fixed the issue and it will be in the next UK asset pack release. As a workaround, just have the Swedish asset pack installed and it'll work just fine.

Good Morning Everyone, I hope everyone is doing well. As Eddie mentioned I'm still having back issues but I'm pushing through it. I'm not going to bore you with my health problems. I took a short break away from the Forums but I was behind the scenes working on the Italian ITS Cavour Aircraft carrier. She is 99% complete. I will finish the aft missile launcher cell animations today. All weapons work as they should. I plan to release her this weekend along with the Paolo Thaon di Revel class Offshore Patrol Vessel. This couldn't have been done with the expertise of Beldin. He has a unique talent for creating Aircraft deck parking and takeoff. As you can see below she is fully loaded. I need some help from you all though. I need a Harrier or F35 Aircraft Player to do some testing for me. Not sure if there's a flyable F-35 in DCS. I haven't seen one at least. So if you fly the Harrier please PM me and I will send the Cavour over for testing. Armament: 2x OtoMelara 76 mm guns, 3x OtoMelara Oerlikon KBA 25mm guns and 4x 8 cell Sylver Launchers. MBDA Aster 15 Missiles. Stay tuned. Thanks for your patience.

Hi normanleto. Thank you for your feedback. We are indeed aware of the taxi issues due to some map changes and have an update already headed to the next patch for release. Until then however we will be releasing a fix available for download here on the forums in mere minutes from now so that you won't have to wait till the patch if you so desire. Keep an eye open for that. -Remus

Sometimes I have to pinch myself that we have (free at the basic level) access to a military flight simulator of such immersion on our PCs. My flying career involved regular use of military and civilian full motion simulators over a period of 30 years, so I'm aware of the complexity and huge cost of providing a state of the art flying and tactical experience to aircrew. To think that these days I can recreate much of that experience in the comfort of my home for a comparatively modest cost ( less than £10k for a 4090/7800x3D, motion rig, VR headset, realistic controls, software) is actually quite astounding.

Should we check for helicopter shaped pressies under the tree? It didn’t look far from ready a while back. Santa gets a bit nomadic around this time of year doesn’t he, ya never know.. Merry Christmas all .

We will share more news when we are ready to. We have more than enough talent in the team. Thank you

threads merged, a fix is coming. thanks

Someone tell me, do you have the textures for this missile is normal? SAM Sky Sabre

As for modules, I’d love some earlier WW2 aircraft like a P-40, Hurricane, BF-109E, etc. 1942 Africa kind of stuff. Also, despite the whining about $10 for a graphically updated F-5, I would pay twice that for a graphically updated Mig-21, UH-1, F-86, Mig-19, Mig-15 or Viggen. Each I would also like to see game improvements 1. Campaign: ‘nuff said. (I’ll pay for it as an expansion too) 2. PLEASE can we get an AI A-6 intruder like you said we were getting like 2-3 years ago? Maybe an AI A-7? We need more than F-18s and F-14s on these Carrier missions and I don’t understand why we still don’t have them. 3. blast/shrapnel effects on troops/soft targets from bombs. I’d love to actually be able to use air burst fuses over FARPS, infantry, etc. Also some improved eye candy with the explosions and damage effects on buildings would be welcome. Ground ordinance explosions are dated.

Eagle Dynamics hear us out. Please expand NTTR. Please give us a Low detail expansion all the way to the west coast (Orange border). Please update the existing area to be high detail with your current map tech (Red Border). Please extend the high detail area south to the Mexican border to include San Diego and Yuma (Purple Border). If nothing else please add Fallon to the existing map. Please add the following air bases so that our modules have a true home. Miramar (F-14, F-5, A-4), Yuma (AV-8B, F-5), El Toro (F-4S, F/A-18, A-4), Lemoore (A-7, F/A-18) George AFB (F-4E, OV-10). As a bonus, you could add Edwards AFB for ALL air frames, NAS North Island, and Luke AFB (not pictured) for F-16's. The Orange border is the size of the new Iraq map dimensions. -Woog

Agreed very atmospheric - pun intended. Awesome work - thanks for creating Hopefully ED can focus on the maps, while you do the clouds for them? Really stoked with the double rainbow effect - although probably still not as much as this guy! Youtube: Double Rainbow Appreciation Guy!

No it's not. Otherwise the lights would not retract befeore engines shutdown. I'm a F-5 pilot and can assure you that it's not correct as it is.

Here's my Christmas gift to the DCS community: a free bonus mission for the Debden Eagles P-51 Mustang campaign. What's more, you can download it for free even if you don't own the campaign until the end of the year: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ZGJQeA--b1u0thRwc6ZB_RcO-b-S8Ep1?usp=drive_link

That's (almost) besides the point. I'm comparing the same hardware and DCS configuration to just ~2 updates back. There's clearly some choking happening universally with trees. I don' t have an issue with bringing the tree LOD down. I just wouldn't want a performance issue of the infamous Lock On flares caliber to slip under the radar and grow into a permanent performance issue component of low discoverability.

Yes, it will be available in the upcoming DCS patch. It was originally supposed to be in the previous one already but it unfortunately missed the upload deadline by a day.

maybe useless for MP .. fortunately it is pretty useful on Single player, so I’m glad to have it.

But they might on an updated SOAR model to go with the Little Bird From what I can see it's certainly some breed of 'hawk or other. I was just wondering if this is the "heavier" mod in the works... ...or, sticking with the specops vibes... #backinmybox

Honestly disappointed in Kola. The entire map feels off, the terrain textures are either overbright, or washed out with poor textures. Maybe I need to give it another try.

A progress update video would be a bit of work but wondered if there’s a recording of the display you could post in its stead? I missed it earlier. Are there still plans to display somewhere soon? Hope you all find time for some tinkering over the holiday. I’m rooting for those gunner positions to start wriggling . Not a little job I’m sure. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas, have a goodun .

Shameless plug: I have some videos on my channels!

Eine Woche, nachdem ich das Dark Power 12 an be quiet! eingeschickt habe, kam eben das: Ein flammneues Dark Power 13. Bemerkenswert nach 3 Jahren, es lohnt sich eben doch, auf Markenhersteller zu setzen.

Honestly ED should add his mod into the base game, his work with the weather effects is top notch. I can look at the real world weather for a particular area and just about create those conditions for my missions...

DCS Multithreading is currently task specific. Meaning, you have one main render thread that provides the raw data for the GPU, then - and this is the "new" part - you have all tasks that can meaningfully be separated, like AI computing, sound, maybe weather, systems (radar and stuff), excluded from the main render thread and on their own dedicated threads. That relieves the main render thread a lot, but still leaves it as the bottleneck for fps. Especially in VR. Afaik DCS can take profit from 6 cores at once at best, maybe 8, but not more than that. And the caveat above applies still.

The nsfw part reminded me about the legendary Swedish anti uboat surveillance system. They put extremely good cameras with long range zoom capabilities to monitor their coastline and video tape anything suspicious. Right next to and overlooking some of the best beaches in Sweden. Then they asked 19-20 year old boys to run the system. With predictable results.

Averto farò un pippone lungo e me ne scuso... P.S.: Vi metto più sotto anche la versione rimaneggiata da CoPilot che secondo lui è più chiara... Premessa sono un Project Manager in ambito IT da 30 anni, ho gestito e gestisco progetti molto grandi a cui sicuramente molti do voi (e per uno sicuramente tutti) hanno avuto a che fare, gestendo sia pa parte di organizzazione che tecnica e anche di GA (gestione applicativa ovvero quando il sistema è in produzione), questo per dire che so di cosa stiamo parlando. F5 ha una serie di bug (non critici perché non ha mai smesso di funzionare completamente) che solo li da anni e vi posso dire che potrebbero rimare li forse per sempre, perché nessuno può lavorare con risorse e tempo infinito e quindi si devono prioritizzare gli interventi. Come si procede a creare il backlog degli interventi? Si classifica l'entità del guasto: ad esempio Critico (il sistema non funziona), Alto( ci sono grossi impedimenti al funzionamento del sistema), Medio (impedimenti che possono essere gestiti con workaround che non impediscono la fruizione del sistema ) Basso (problemi minori che non impattano significa la fruizione del sistema ), Marginale (problemi cosi detti cosmetici nulla di realmente impattante). SI classifica la la portata del guasto: Quanti utenti subiscono il problema (Se lo hanno tutti è sicuramente un problema ad altissima priorità (se l'entità del guasto è MEDIA o superiore) più si scende con il numero di utenti (più il guasto deve essere importante per salire nelle gerarchie) Costo e tempi dell'analisi approfondita del problema: più è alto e più i problemi devono essere importanti (secondo la classificazione espressa nei due punti precedenti) per essere affrontati. Costo e tempi della soluzione: più è alto e più i problemi devono essere importanti (secondo la classificazione espressa nei primi due punti) per essere affrontati. Ora DCS World è un sistema estremamente complesso con un numero sempre crescente di moduli, questo porta inevitabilmente a problemi di gestione molto difficili da affrontare. ED, come tutti, non ha risorse infinite e deve obbligatoriamente procedere con la creazione del BackLog. F5 non è mai stato "ROTTO" nel senso che ha smesso di funzionare ha problemi forse Medio Alti (e anche sugli alti ho qualche dubbio) l'impatto sull'utenza lo sanno solo loro, quanti hanno acquistato e quanti usano il modulo. Tempo fa sapevo di un problema che era stato risolto dalla community e questo per quanto semplice aveva un workaround che lo ha fatto comunque scendere nelle classificazione di importanza. Nessuno di noi sa quanti problemi critici stanno affrontando ad ogni rilascio, che vengono appunto risolti prima della patch successiva ma potrebbero essere enormi e non dare spazio a problemi minori e ad ogni sviluppo aggiuntivo su un sistema complesso nascono continuamente delle regressioni, che devono essere testate e in caso risolte. Faccio un esempio (magari totalmente inesistente non sto dicendo che sia accaduto) L'inserimento della nebbia potrebbe aver compromesso il funzionamento di tutti i sistemi di TGP e TADS è ovvio che questo è un problema GROSSO che doveva essere affrontato immediatamente prima del rilascio, oppure l'aggiornamento del modello di volo dell'Hornet ha introdotto delle regressioni sul sistema di ACLS e anche qui visto i numeri di persone che volano sono tante magari diventa un problema prioritario perché tu pensi di appontare in automatico in tranquillità come sempre fatto e poi invece ti schianti... I problemi dell' F-5 non sono "bloccanti" e purtroppo potrebbero essere molto meno prioritari di altri. VERSIONE IA Premessa Sono un Project Manager in ambito IT con 30 anni di esperienza. Ho gestito e gestisco progetti di grande portata che molti di voi (se non tutti) avranno incontrato. Mi occupo sia della parte organizzativa che tecnica, oltre alla gestione applicativa (GA) in produzione. Questo per dire che conosco bene il settore di cui parliamo. Problemi e Prioritizzazione dei Bug F5 presenta una serie di bug non critici, che non hanno mai compromesso completamente il funzionamento del sistema. Questi bug esistono da anni e probabilmente potrebbero rimanere irrisolti, dato che nessuno dispone di risorse e tempo infiniti. È quindi essenziale prioritizzare gli interventi. Come Creare il Backlog degli Interventi Classificazione dell'Entità del Guasto: Critico: Il sistema non funziona. Alto: Gravi impedimenti al funzionamento del sistema. Medio: Impedimenti gestibili con workaround che non precludono l'uso del sistema. Basso: Problemi minori che non impattano significativamente l'uso del sistema. Marginale: Problemi cosmetici che non hanno impatti rilevanti. Classificazione della Portata del Guasto: Numero di Utenti Coinvolti: Se tutti gli utenti sono colpiti, il problema è di altissima priorità (se l'entità del guasto è media o superiore). Man mano che il numero di utenti colpiti diminuisce, l'importanza del guasto deve aumentare per salire nelle gerarchie. Costo e Tempi dell'Analisi Approfondita del Problema: Più è alta l'analisi, più i problemi devono essere importanti per essere affrontati. Costo e Tempi della Soluzione: Più sono elevati, più i problemi devono essere significativi per essere risolti. Contesto del DCS World DCS World è un sistema estremamente complesso con un numero sempre crescente di moduli, il che porta inevitabilmente a problemi di gestione difficili da affrontare. Come tutti, ED non ha risorse infinite e deve procedere con la creazione del backlog. Il Caso dell'F5 F5 non è mai stato "rotto" nel senso che ha smesso di funzionare. Presenta problemi forse medi o alti (anche se sugli alti ho qualche dubbio). L'impatto sull'utenza lo conoscono solo loro, basandosi su quanti hanno acquistato e utilizzano il modulo. Esempi di Problemi e Gestione Tempo fa, un problema era stato risolto dalla community e, grazie a un workaround, era sceso nella classificazione di importanza. Nessuno di noi sa quanti problemi critici affrontano ad ogni rilascio, ma potrebbero essere enormi, lasciando poco spazio a problemi minori. Ogni nuovo sviluppo su un sistema complesso introduce delle regressioni che devono essere testate e risolte. Un esempio ipotetico: l'introduzione della nebbia potrebbe aver compromesso il funzionamento dei sistemi di TGP e TADS, rendendolo un problema grave da affrontare immediatamente prima del rilascio. Oppure, l'aggiornamento del modello di volo dell'Hornet potrebbe aver introdotto regressioni nel sistema ACLS, rendendo prioritario risolverlo dato il numero di piloti coinvolti. Conclusione I problemi dell'F-5 non sono "bloccanti" e potrebbero essere meno prioritari rispetto ad altri problemi più gravi.

Hello, Only the new headsets that participated in the Prime program will require authentication. This will happen once a month or, if you choose the one-time payment option, only once. Yes, non-subscription or subsciption headsets always be accessible, with both account and guest logins. However, the recent server issue affected users trying to log in with both account and guest logins. Users who were already logged in did not encounter this issue. No, the recent issue is not related to the latest firmware or update, but a problem with the main servers. That's why we're adding an offline option to provide users with more confidence that their headsets won't turn into paperweight.

Yes please!

В это же самое время анонсировано, начато и поступает информация о продвижении работ по МиГ-29А. Обновление моделей в ГС было. Не позволяйте себе быть втянутым в теорию заговоров.

They seem to prioritize THEIR 79.99 models. My theory is that they intentionally nerf AI so people will shell out exorbinant prices. nullOr maybe they do "cockpits now, missiles and usability later"

This issue is related to the login server, not the bricking the headset. But, good news is the developers are currently working on an offline mode that doesn't require an internet connection.

In den kommenden Tagen werde ich euch mit Liveries und 3D-Modellen versorgen, dass euch die Ohren schlackern ! Hier ist mein Thread: Meine Uploads: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/filter/user-is-Homelander/apply/ Natürlich gibt es keine unsauberen Übergänge zwischen den Bauteilen, wie man sie in manchen Liveries findet. UPDATE: 22.12.2024: neuer Anstrich "F/A-18C Hornet | Fictional Japanese JASDF 60th Anniversary Livery" online.

Roger that, thanks for the tip. This is an example of how a DCS change can sometimes have unforeseen ripple effects down the stream. I'll get a fix up ASAP.

Tried F-15E, both comes with "disclaimer".... Grok: OpenAI/ChatGPT: Enclosed the files for your reference. grok f15e.json openai f15e.json

you need to load one of the new presets … and if you lent the mission to someone else, he wont see the same weather you do unless he also loads the Mod.

I sent an email with all the latest skins 5 months ago. I'm still waiting.

C'è un modulo DCS che non esce rotto o che se accumula un bug poi non resta lì per anni? Se facciamo lo stesso ragionamento anche per altre piattaforme, allora forse bisogna ammettere che la complessità dei simulatori così detti "study level" moderni è diventata tale che è al di là delle capacità di qualunque sviluppatore, quantomeno nel rapporto tra ore di sviluppo necessarie e convenienza economica con cui ti puoi permettere di venderlo (nel senso che magari un sim study level bug free o quasi sarebbe anche teoricamente possibile, ma costerebbe 700 euro e uscirebbe dopo 20 anni di sviluppo, per cui nella pratica nessuno lo fa). A questo punto o si smette di volare coi simulatori oppure ci si accontenta di roba meno simulativa, come gli aerei di default di molti sim civili o come la serie il-2 (che peraltro trovo rappresenti un ottimo bilanciamento tra accuratezza della simulazione ed esigenze di gameplay). Oppure si possono anche mettere sti 10 euro nell'f-5 ben consapevoli di tutti i limiti di cui sopra. In ogni caso anche il mig-29, tanto per dirne uno, uscirà incompleto e pieno di bugs e così resterà per anni. Per cui preferisco mettere 10 euro in un modulo che conosco già e che almeno per un po' mi godrò rinnovato e per quanto possibile fixato, piuttosto che 70 euro su un modulo nuovo da imparare da zero che sarà pieno di bugs e incompleto esattamente come pressoché tutti gli altri moduli.

I want a Huey redux, or just simply a Huey v 2.0. I'll gladly pay for it.

Given EDs huge developement backlog and the amount of stuff that was supposed to be out by now according to ED themselves (Vulkan 2024 anyone? GFM to come in 2022..etc etc ) I dont care much anymore for what they tease. I would go for more delivering and less teasing /hyping. And seriously prefer Nick Grey not doing the "passion and support" talk bit again .It is a bit tone-deaf and ill fitting by now.

Load your favorit mission in the ME, apply the first preset and start flying. When you've seen enough go back to the ME and select the next. Rinse and repeat. You don't even need to create a new mission from scratch. Just take any of the IA missions e.g.

Just a heads-up that changing the focal areas in the Companion app only works for eye-tracked headsets. The config file needs to updated manually for the horizontal_fixed_section and vertical_fixed_section values to change these on non-eye tracked headsets. Saving any changes in the Companion app will also overwrite those.

This is super unlikely to ever happen for the reasons stated above. There's not enough info out there to make it, we're delivering what we said we would deliver, we can't just keep continuously adding additional features that were never planned just because "it would be cool". Even if enough info did exist, you have to understand that HB is a business and not a bottomless extra features money-pit, we planned the deliverable feature set you're getting (and have already paid for) for a reason and we're sticking to it.
