Experimental fix for server crash after world.removeJunk being used (hosters please test, we are looking for feedback) DCS: F-16C Viper by Eagle Dynamics Improved HUD Limited Refresh Rate (made airspeed, altitude and acceleration update rates fixed at a set refresh rate. As such, faster rates of change will result in skipped values. The acceleration updates are slightly faster than velocity and acceleration). Improvement - Specific excess power. Based on user feedback, the difference in energy loss in the FM and E-M diagrams of instantaneous turn rates was noted. On the left edge (high angles of attack AoA >15 and low speeds below M<0.7), excessive energy loss (airspeed loss) was confirmed. On the right edge of the E-M diagram (M>0.7 and angles of attack AoA<15), there was noticeably insufficient energy loss. The left edge has been corrected, and energy loss has been reduced (closer to the reference points). Work on the right edge continues and will be resolved in a later update. Fixed: Impossible to enter a deep stall. Fixed: Excessive YAW With Roll Inputs in Landing Config. Fixed: FCR entering STT deletes all trackfiles. Fixed: RWS STT returns to search after TMS aft instead of SAM. Fixed: ACM Bore does not lock targets beyond 10nm even with longer range selected. Fixed: FCR TWS target altitude differently rounded between bugged and system targets. Fixed: FCR trackfile information (aspect/speed/etc) are shown as all zeroes when first designating a track file. Fixed: FCR Has a chance to drop track completely when commanding STT on TWS Bugged target. Fixed: Aiming marks recalculate position way too fast. Results in CCIP mark flicker. Fixed: External fuel transfer when AIR SOURCE in RAM. Fixed: A-G Radar image goes sideways when the scanning zone limit is reached. Fixed: AGM-65 VIS next maverick after firing no longer space stabilized/slaved to SPI. Fixed: When radar antenna comes to maximum angle of deflection ground surface render starts its movement within MFD screen. Fixed: FCR does not remember submode after emergency jettison or master mode change Revised/Updated F-16C Early Access Guide New Navigation chapter New Tactical Employment chapter Revised Radio Communications chapter Revised Datalink chapter (work-in-progess) Revised Appendix A - Added more checklists, added checklist index, and added hyperlinks on all checklist pages to return back to main index. Other updates/revisions: Hands-On Controls functions/commands DED pages Autopilot RWR and CMDS Modes DCS: F/A-18C by Eagle Dynamics Fixed crash on weapons avionics. Added Gray Scale on MAP Ground Radar. Fixed: Texture FPU_8A_VMFA251 not found. Fixed: When user creates waypoint names in the editor blank waypoint will use another waypoints name. Fixed: Hot start aircraft sets INS to NAV instead of IFA. DCS: AH-64D by Eagle Dynamics Improvement of the flight model and SCAS. Improvement. The characteristic of the increase in the thrust of the main rotor has been refined in the speed range of 0-10 m/s (the helicopter's behavior at the moment of nose tilt to accelerate and when hovering after deceleration will become more realistic). Improvement. There was overly sensitive yaw control. The sensitivity of the control in the heading channel has been significantly reduced. Now the increase in angular velocity with a 1-inch pedal movement has been reduced by about 25%, which is beneficial for improving the comfort of control. Improvement. There was overly sensitive pitch control. The main rotor rotation characteristics in roll and pitch have been adjusted, which has slightly reduced the control sensitivity in the roll and pitch channels. The VRS (vortex-ring state) phenomenon of the Main rotor. Additional game notification about the VRS phenomenon. The player has been given the option to turn on sound and visual notifications about the onset of the phenomenon and its progress. Enabling/disabling is carried out in the SPECIAL tab in the module settings. The conditions for the occurrence of the VRS phenomenon on the Main rotor have been reworked. Now the Main rotor "entry" into the VRS phenomenon takes a little longer than before. In addition, the critical vertical descent speed that leads to the appearance of VRS is no longer a "strict" value, which increases the realism of “entering” in VRS mode. During an autorotation landing with the engines running, the helicopter could previously have been in the VRS phenomenon. Fixed Animation of the Main rotor cone tilt disappeared. There was no reaction of the rotor cone to the deflection of the helicopter cyclic stick - Fixed Helicopter SCAS. When hovering with Position Hold enabled, a slight drift would sometimes occur - Fixed Independent deactivation of roll and pitch channel in ATT-hold mode. For ATT-Hold mode, separate disabling has been added in the roll and pitch channels if the disabling conditions have occurred only in one of the channels (previously, both channels were disabled if the disabling conditions occurred only for roll, for example). Displayed on the controls indicator. The efficiency of the SCAS response has been increased when controlling the pilot and in the ATT-Hold (Position, Velocity, Attitude) mode family: When controlling the pilot the SCAS "blurs" the increase in angular velocity from the cyclic stick and pedals, thereby giving the pilot a little more time for piloting accuracy, which increases piloting comfort; In the ATT-Hold mode family the SCAS reacts more sensitively to changes, trying to compensate for the deviation from the specified mode/parameter in the "bud". Helicopter SCAS - known issues When turning ON or OFF the Position-Hold mode, several damped oscillations in roll and/or pitch may occur Added AI George interface enhancements for color-blind players. May be selected in the SPECIAL tab in the module settings. Modify the George-as-CPG interface. Fixed: Graphic glitch with cockpit displays when George finds targets during new Area search. Fixed: Enroute "Distance to Point" value calculated very wrong. Fixed: FIRE MSLS and LASE # TRGT message errors. Fixed: TADS camera clips through model. Fixed; George AI sees the target through the fog. DCS: Mi-24P Hind by Eagle Dynamics Petrovich AI. Added support for new fog system so Petrovich AI wouldn’t see through it.

Fixed: Animation sticking after client exits. Fixed: "Waiting for ATC Status" Message displayed in campaigns. Fixed: IFLOS Lights showing backwards. Fixed: Client doesn't get taxiing permission ("Awaiting requested crew member"). Fixed: No directors - Cat crew only launch 1st aircraft. Fixed: AI carrier taxiing decreased dt, smooth break and pilot view correction. Fixed: Taxi crew stuck in multiplayer with Awaiting crew 1 idle message. Fixed: Wheel chock wont be placed when teleport to hangar (F/A-18C, F-14A/B). Fixed: Velocity limit option works if turned OFF. Fixed: Deck Crew Problems AI F-14s. Fixed: AI on sixpack can't taxi. Fixed: Yellow shirt director repeats 'stop' gesture. Fixed: The director teleports after assigning a player to the next one, apparently teleporting to his initial point. Fixed: Frequent change of commands by the director (Stop - Come forward) when taxi on the deck. Known issues: Forced option 'disable deck crew' don't work - in order to create a mission with the deck crew disabled, you need to disable it in the general options. DCS: F-5E3 Remastered Added animation of shaking elements in the cockpit. Added wingtip shake at high AOA. Added LERX vapor trails. Fixed: RWR Button Dimmer doesn't work as expected. Fixed: Cannot open and close the service hatch panels. Fixed: Incorrect theme loading picture if another theme is applied. Fixed: Static aircraft parking lot.

Fixed 'Nose wheel steering high sensitivity button' not popping out after nose wheel gear lift off, when autostart was performed before. Changed F1CE/BE IDN logic in TE mode - the wide needle will stay at the last valid position instead of going to 0, when a TACAN station is not received. Corrected bug in which, with additional vector selected and no TACAN signal, the wide needle always pointed to the West. Radio: Fixed an issue with radios that were not tuning to Easy Comms frequency, if attempted to do this while being in AR (OFF) mode (but with electric bus power being available). A radio will not be attempted to be autotuned in Easy Comms if it is not currently provided with electric bus power. F1BE: Only TRAP-136 can be used now for Easy Comms frequency autotune from the rear seat. F1BE: With Easy Comms option enabled, TRAP-136 priority is automatically switched to the seat from which the radio dialog was activated. F1BE: Now the other seat radio panel is not affected by Easy Comms autotune. I.e., when TRAP-136 communication is activated from the rear seat, the forward seat panel frequency/mode is not changed, and vice versa. General: Added several Single and Quick Start Afghanistan map missions (Mirage F1 CE, EE and BE). Added Iraq Quick Start and Single missions. Fixed texture of Mirage F1EE weapons panel integral light. Fixed the issue with several weapons appearing rotated 90º on their pylons. DCS: C-101 Aviojet by AvioDev A radio will not be attempted to be autotuned in Easy Comms if it is not currently provided with electric power. Now, in Easy Comms, always a radio of the current seat is used for frequency autotune. Accordingly, the radio priority is automatically switched to that seat. Custom (defined in the module) Belouga BLG66 bombs were replaced by DCS standard ones. Improved textures of CBL200, as well as of AN-M3 and DEFA-553 gun pods. Fixed the issue with several weapons appearing rotated 90º on their pylons.

Fixed 'Nose wheel steering high sensitivity button' not popping out after nose wheel gear lift off, when autostart was performed before. Changed F1CE/BE IDN logic in TE mode - the wide needle will stay at the last valid position instead of going to 0, when a TACAN station is not received. Corrected bug in which, with additional vector selected and no TACAN signal, the wide needle always pointed to the West. Radio: Fixed an issue with radios that were not tuning to Easy Comms frequency, if attempted to do this while being in AR (OFF) mode (but with electric bus power being available). A radio will not be attempted to be autotuned in Easy Comms if it is not currently provided with electric bus power. F1BE: Only TRAP-136 can be used now for Easy Comms frequency autotune from the rear seat. F1BE: With Easy Comms option enabled, TRAP-136 priority is automatically switched to the seat from which the radio dialog was activated. F1BE: Now the other seat radio panel is not affected by Easy Comms autotune. I.e., when TRAP-136 communication is activated from the rear seat, the forward seat panel frequency/mode is not changed, and vice versa. General: Added several Single and Quick Start Afghanistan map missions (Mirage F1 CE, EE and BE). Added Iraq Quick Start and Single missions. Fixed texture of Mirage F1EE weapons panel integral light. Fixed the issue with several weapons appearing rotated 90º on their pylons. DCS: C-101 Aviojet by AvioDev A radio will not be attempted to be autotuned in Easy Comms if it is not currently provided with electric power. Now, in Easy Comms, always a radio of the current seat is used for frequency autotune. Accordingly, the radio priority is automatically switched to that seat. Custom (defined in the module) Belouga BLG66 bombs were replaced by DCS standard ones. Improved textures of CBL200, as well as of AN-M3 and DEFA-553 gun pods. Fixed the issue with several weapons appearing rotated 90º on their pylons. DCS: South Atlantic by RAZBAM Simulations New: Introduction of Winter Textures with emphasis on providing Ultra-High detail around the Falklands Island High-detail custom normal maps for the entire Falkland Islands New Normal maps across Argentina / Chile Improved: Further enhancements to ground vegetation, delivering a more realistic look and feel across the entire map NOTE: June is the summer hemispheres winter and as the default date for the South Atlantic map is June the default will be winter DCS: Kola map by Orbx New: Added Bardufoss Airfield Added Kattila Airfield Improved: Added TACAN at Andoya airfield Added towns next to new airfields Enhancement to the terrain visual quality from lowish level First pass optimization for some blocks Campaigns DCS: F/A-18C Rise of the Persian Lion Campaign by Badger 633 Missions 10 all variants: Dodge not carrying out SEAD, fixed.

Dear all, first of all we would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and/or Happy Holidays. Our apologies that our changelog for this patch has not been published yet. The majority of the team is on vacation at the moment. I will edit this post tomorrow and add our changelog. Thank you for your kind patience and feedback in the meantime. We hope you enjoy Happy Holidays with lots of time for flying! Your Heatblur Team EDIT: Below please find the changelog, our apologies again for the delay. Most importantly this update brings significant improvements to the AWG-9 TWS combining and splitting, especially with an airborne Phoenix underway. This should yield far more effective employment of the AIM-54 and radar in high threat density environments or where a Phoenix would otherwise fail when tracks would drop or diverge. Attached are some images of the before and after state of such scenarios and how the AWG-9 previously could incorrectly extrapolate tracks when splitting or combining tracks, leading to trashed Phoenixes. Enjoy smacking down those enemy groups more effectively with your AWG-9/Phoenix combo! DCS: F-14 Tomcat by Heatblur Simulations Significantly improved TWS: Improved track combining and splitting Fixed tracks shooting off at high speed strange angles Fixed tracks under missile attack being trashed when combined Link4C improvements: Fixed auto address on kneeboard working away from ground crew Fixed rx/tx enabled on old frequency after frequency change Fixed Link4C in multicrew Prioritize transmitted Link4C tracks Increased displayable Link4C tracks to accommodate all participants (4+1 each, max 3 others in net)

For many of us, Christmas begins on the evening of December 24. And again, an eventful year is soon coming to an end. DCS has given helicopter pilots, in particular, a lot of joy with new models like the CHINOOK, more details at ground level, and a flyable Apache. It will probably be 2028 before we have explored all the new maps in the helicopter at low altitudes. In 2025, many new modules and maps will surprise and keep us entertained. ***I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. But above all, stay healthy and peaceful.*** Pour beaucoup d'entre nous, Noël commence le soir du 24 décembre. Et une fois de plus, une année riche en événements s'achève bientôt. DCS nous a donné beaucoup de joie, en particulier à nous, pilotes d'hélicoptères, avec de nouveaux modèles comme le CHINOOK, plus de détails au niveau du sol et un Apache pilotable. Il faudra probablement attendre 2028 pour que nous ayons exploré toutes les nouvelles cartes en hélicoptère à basse altitude. En 2025, de nombreux nouveaux modules et cartes nous surprendront et nous amuseront. ***Je souhaite à tous un joyeux Noël et une bonne année. Mais surtout, restez en bonne santé et en paix.*** Für viele von uns beginnt Weihnachten ja bereits am Abend des 24. Dezember. Und wieder geht bald ein Ereignisreiches Jahr dem Ende zu. Besonders uns Hubschrauberfliegern hat DCS mit neuen Modellen wie der CHINOOK , mehr Details in Bodennähe und einer flieg baren Apache viel Freude gemacht. Bis wir im Heli all die Neuen Maps im Tiefflug erkundet haben werden wird es wohl 2028 werden. Auch 2025 werden uns viele neu Überraschungen Module und wohl auch Maps die Zeit kurzweilig gestalten. ***Ich wünsch allen frohe Weihnachten und ein guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr. Vor allem aber Bleibt gesund und friedlich.***

Hi All, a view of the Cavour carrier during F-35 B vertical take-off and landing trials, with Harrier and UH-1 parked on the deck. Many thanks Admiral for all your amazing Mods ! Merry X-mas to All ! Enjoy !...

These SAMs have over preformed in DCS for years. This is actually a major improvement!

Admiral, thanks for the wonderful carrier. The night lighting is awesome! Have a Merry Christmas and may the New Year grant you improved health and much happiness. We all love your Mods. Rusty

today update, and now the Main rotor animated is correct)! sorry for so long

Dear all, first of all we would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and/or Happy Holidays. Our apologies that our changelog for this patch has not been published yet. The majority of the team is on vacation at the moment. I will edit this post tomorrow and add our changelog. Thank you for your kind patience and feedback in the meantime. We hope you enjoy Happy Holidays with lots of time for flying low above a snowy canopy of woods! Your Heatblur Team EDIT: I realize, I could have posted this right away, my apologies, but this time the changelog again includes updates to the manual only. One thing the team has been working on though, I may share with you in the gif below. Of course, fear not, more updates are planned for the future. Enjoy a traditional Swedish Air Force christmas tree flown by our upcoming J-35 Draken AI asset; which we've recently completely remodeled based on new photogrammetric scans done at the Kraków air museum. DCS: AJS37 Viggen by Heatblur Simulations Updated the manual

Merry Christmas Gents! @tobi @Eight Ball Really appreciate everything you have done for the community this year and what you plan on contributing in 2025. You have far exceeded what I ever expected out of a mod maker that provides free content to their community. You guys are stellar and all the hard work is beyond appreciated. Look forward to your future content. Happy New Year a little early!

Great update, I love this map so much:

Added a new Spotting Dots option which is replacing the “improved spotting dots” option. Improved spotting dots functionality which makes spotting dots independent from zoom FOV will be active all the time now. With new “Spotting Dot” setting you will be able to set: OFF - to switch spotting dots off completely AUTO - automatic spotting dot size calculation based on monitor or VR hardware parameters (how it worked before) 1 pixel size spotting dots 2 pixel size spotting dots Also this setting is added to the mission editor and can be enforced through mission. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/news/changelog/stable/2.9.11.4686/ Please let us know your feedback on these changes

Merry Christimas / Feliz Navidad from the Canary Islands

Yes, many of us 'cynics' are already aware of the greed-agenda motives of these so-called reviewer/influencers. Free kit and lots of monetized clicks & views, whatever product they've been given to 'review' will get the solid thumbs-up, with a couple of minor "nit picks" to give a veneer of credibility. VR Flight Sim Guy, clearly miffed that Pimax didn't send him a Super to 'test and review', so he advises people not to pre-order, citing a clearly erroneous bunch of BS about how it will HAVE to be down-sampled from native rez and how that will degrade the image (he thinks a VR panel is the same as a monitor, lol). And then tells people to wait for him to get a purchased one with his opinion before getting one themselves. I pointed that out, he called me a 'troll' and removed my ability to reply. Lol. Furiously building his echo-chamber over there.

DCS 2.9.11.4686 While doing a PHS search or a TSD LOS search, George cannot spot targets/Display a target list, regardless of distance (used to be about 10km and closer). This is in both Single player and Multiplayer. Steps to reproduce: Hop into an apache as a back-seat Take-off with optional weapons Activate George helper AI Command George to slave to PHS Command George to slave TSD LOS Attached is a track file demonstrating the above. No targets pop up into a target list even when overflying said targets. AH64D_Geroge_AI_No_Targets.trk

we have changes coming in the next patch. thank you

You heard me ask telepathically as well as yesterday, before I’d read this. Being in possession of such pre-empitive and clairvoyant powers should deserve you your Westland wish granted. I wouldn’t mind one either. I’m sure I saw a pair of those do a loop at Biggin years ago? They had a pretty good helicopter display team with a few different types so I might’ve misremembered but I think they were Lynxes. Regarding the pay debate, I’d add that part of what makes this special for me is that it came without a price-tag. That it came from an altruistic place makes me like it all the more and I happily made a donation as soon as I realised how decent a job they’d made of it. Also, the attention and ‘support’ the OH-6 gets is second to none. Admittedly, easier to keep on top of a single module than a whole hangar-full but still, an appreciated privilege. I hope plenty of us have bunged the lads a few quid so they earn some beer tokens out of doing it. I hope they get a buzz from knowing how much fun so many of us are getting from it too. Like I said, it’s getting better and better all the time and I’m chuffed to see the whole ever increasing package. Again, well done lads, thanks a lot and with all that said, let’s all get blasted now, cos it’s CHRISSSSSTTTTMAAAAASSSSSSS! Have yourselves a lovely lag-free Christmas time .

Many thanks @prccowboyfor your contributions! Merry Xmas!

Any word on that? The lacking in modelling AG radar beam limits is ridiculous, ED really lags behind other thirds parties in AG radar modelling

So, this may be the single worst title in the gaming universe when it comes to VRAM consumption, especially in VR, and you're going again for overkill sized textures? You haven't learned a thing, have you? DCS World, as it is, is already very problematic in this aspect, why exarcebate the issue even more? ....why?? To please the few close-up screenshot nerds? Is this a screenshot contest game or a practical usable simulator, able to accomodate the largest number of hardware from its user base? Huge thumbs down. I honestly don't understand who makes such decisions, for hardware resources logistic/management when developping modules and maps. It just shows how disconnected ED is from the current issues, IMO.

It's not an exploit, it's literally an in-game setting. You wanted an option to have them off, you have that now. Enjoy it.

THANK YOU!!! Just tested and the Spotting Dots are able to be turned OFF in VR. Thank you Thank you! Best Christmas Present Ever. There are no more large squares around the aircraft or ground targets when turning it off in VR. I love it!! Immersion is back on the table!

Так. Патч, патч, патч! Фильм, фильм, фильм! (с) - Ротор теперь хорошенько наклонен вперед на большой скорости! Ура. - Вертолет ощутимо проще управляется, канал тейл ротора SCAS своим Heading Hold вмешивается мягко. Переходные режимы (разгон/торможение) существенно проще, летит очень послушно. При разгоне после взлета не мотыляет влево-вправо. В вихревое кольцо теперь загнать его не так то просто. Балансировочные положения РППУ имеют заметно уменьшившийся диапазон. Но Теперь почти нет разницы между коротким и длинным нажатием FTR. Каналы SCAS теперь обнуляются быстро, потому что, кмк, сильно улучшена собственная натурально-аэродинамическая устойчивость вертолета (во написал то) и переполнить SCAS чтобы, надо постараться теперь. (ну, креме общего шага). С выключенной автоматикой вертолет теперь спокойно летает. Лишь на педалях и на висении можно почувствовать, что автоматика не помогает. Стоит набрать скорость и вообще не видно разницы - спокойно слетал, петли/бочки покрутил и приземлился, "не вызывая подозрения санитаров" Почему перестал работать Turn Coordination на скорости? SCAS больше никак не помогает координировать разворот по каналу рулевого винта. Даже немного мешает в начале разворота.

Last year several updated models(S3, B52, B1) was released. Some were disappointed these didn't match the vidoes shown. Turned out they super high def models was supposed to come as a paid pack together with some super high quality ground assets) these seem to now have come out for free. Which is a fantastic gesture from ED.

А когда Афганистан будет переработан в обновлении? Ждал в этом, но кажется еще нету(

Thank you for your very kind patience, guys! May you all get plenty presents!

So Afghan will have received zero updates in 2024 after initial release... Bummer.

Thank You!!! From me and my RIO: Merry Christmas to everyone !! Happy Holidays from Portugal

happy holidays. East Coast USA here. grateful for ED and this community. despite some drama, i still get to be a virtual pilot in iconic aircraft. and a lot was released and fixed this year, fog is amazing! Party and fly safe, looking forward to new year. merry christmas!

В интернете есть интересный сюжет (3 или 4 части). Без ссылки 1-я часть называется "рождение хищника". Там человек очень подробно рассказывает и показывает про 29-й от первых чертежей до модификации. Как по мне, даже интересней официальных видео.

I knew ED had kidnapped Santa to help them get the patch out for Christmas.

Sorry to hear you moved away from modeling. Your high quality mods brought much life to DCS. I still use them all in various missions. Wish you well. Rusty

Couple of things.. 1. If you all guys saw the going price for old toyota technicals on Craigslist and ebay you'd stop blowing them up and steal them. 2. I'm dying to fly this helicopter. The OH-6 is BY FAR the most fun aircraft I flown in DCS and my only frustration with it is how lightly armed it is. Having dual rocket pods AND miniguns?!? Im like a kid at Christmas. The AH-6 is my red rider BB gun

Thanks, Ironghost, your right. We have to take care of ourselves. Most will never understand until they are disabled. Hello everyone, as promised. I have released the ITS Cavour Aircraft Carrier. I broke the Thaon di Revel Class mod code yesterday so I'm piecing her back together one code at a time. I will release her once I finish. *** As mentioned. There is a known issue with the AI Player AH-64 Apache helicopter, it creates lag when spawning onboard the ITS Cavour. All other AI Player aircraft FPS were above 100. Not sure why the AH-64 creates a problem. I don't have the Kiowa for testing. *** Also, you may or may not see issues with the Aster 15 Missile exploding on launch. I'm working to resolve that issue. Keep in mind all we do is code the mods. DCS Game engine decides what it wants to do with the code. Please report any major technical issues. It's best you PM me. I don't monitor the forums much while I'm working on the mods. -- Next up is the French and Italian Horizon Class Frigates. Thank you all for your patience. Please enjoy the mod.

I'm a former Naval Aviator... I flew from the USS Kitty Hawk on my first tour (A-7s) as a J.O. and I was a TAO (Tactical Action Officer) working in CDC (Combat Direction Center) during a later cruise aboard USS Nimitz. My point is that I have some experience with flight deck operations. I'm sure there are many others who fly in DCS with as much or more experience than I have. First, I'm very happy with DCS and the Supercarrier as currently put together, but a little confused by this latest addition... the new flight director crew members! I suspect that this is the first of many iterations in EDs development of the Supercarrier module. Generally speaking, launch operations seemed fairly well thought out with the avoidance of some static objects a notable exception. I found it intuitive and did not require the use of HELP ICONs or HELP TEXT once I understood how it worked. Recoveries on the other hand seem completely nonsensical. I assume ED understands cyclic operations. It makes no sense to wrap arriving aircraft back around and through the landing area, fouling the deck, to park aft of the island. It would seem to make much more sense to direct aircraft forward onto the bow to park first on CAT 2. Additionally, you could direct them across the six-pack area then back around to the right to park along the foul line or, with a pushback, on elevator 2 and the corral area. Elevator one should remain open so that armed aircraft exiting the landing area could point in a safe direction while they disarmed... or not. You could also direct aircraft directly to CAT 1 for a Trap-Cat-Trap scenario. In order of priority... I would have fill CAT 2 first, followed by CAT 1, then the area along the foul line (Six pack and street areas) and finally Elevators 2 and 1.

Also die Gazelle ist schon ein must have Heli, sehr sehr agil (ein bisschen garstig beim Landen ) und von der System Tiefe her relativ schnell zu lernen. Downside ist die nicht ganz so hohe Schlagkraft wobei die für so einen kleinen Vogel schon viel mitnimmt Wenn es um das reine Fliegen geht, ist die Huey auch ein super Schritt. Hier ist aber dann das Thema Waffen nicht so prägnannt. Der Apache ist mein Hauptmuster und ich kann nicht mehr zählen wie viele Stunden ich allein in DCS in dem Vogel sitzte Fliegerisch ist er relativ einfach, er mag nur schweben mit hohem Gewicht nicht. Das lernt man aber sehr schnell richtig zu umgehen Systemtechnisch ist das dann eher in Richtung der A-10. Sehr viele Sensoren, Datalink, Volle Kampffähigkeit bei Nacht. Hier braucht es Zeit und evtl. einen guten Lehrer der einem die Systeme gut erklärt und schult. Wenn man aber damit mal drinn ist, ist der Vogel die Pure Vernichtungsmaschine Wenn du da Ineresse hast kannst du gern mal bei uns vorbei schauen und mitfliegen Wenn es nicht unbedingt extreme Feuerkraft sein soll, ist auch die Kiowa sehr zu empfehlen Ach eigentlich muss man jeden Heli fliegen allein schon weil Heli fliegen

Если точнее, МиГ-29С - это 9-13С. 9-13 от 9-12 принципиально отличается встроенной "Гарденией", а 29С делался с возможностью нести Р-77 (своего рода временная мера, пока доводился 29М).

1st mod release is done, DL link is my 1st post. Today's version 0.0.2 beta contains only -300 variant and its liveries. -200 variant will come later. Additional livery works need panel lines + normal map + window arrangement tasks before.

We wish you a Vulkan Christmas We wish you an AI Christmas We wish you Dynamic Christmas And a Savegame New Year! "with texture resolution increased by 400%" -- I wonder what this means for VRAM usage.
