More work is being done in terms of MFD's, still a lot to do.

Are you ready for takeoff?

A400M Liveries Fix – Texture Issue (Normal Map) I tried the solution mentioned earlier, but it didn’t work in my case. For many A400M liveries, especially the German ones, the MAM_A400M.dds file was incorrectly converted. The file size was over 83 MB, which caused issues. I used NVIDIA Texture Tools Exporter to reconvert the textures to the latest DDS format. After conversion, the MAM_A400M.dds file is now only 23 MB and works correctly. To save space, I placed the shared MAM_A400M_B.dds normal map in the "Airbus" folder. Then, I added the following line to the description.lua of each A400M livery: {"MAM_A400M", NORMAL_MAP , "../Airbus/mam_a400m_b", false}; Result: All liveries now load correctly with proper normal maps. Important: Do NOT add this line to the “Airbus” livery itself — it will break that livery.

Still can't get over the fact that the MH-6 is cancelled. It's just a tragedy Either way, the trusty old OH-6 is still providing us with plenty of entertainment. Made a little video with it on the Cold War Germany map on one of the FRG's Weapons Ranges.

Hi Everyone, I had the pleasure to make the textures and liveries for the Horntail Carapace Mod, adding the iconic Carapace EWS system to the DCS Viper. This system (IRL) is a electronic warfare suite designed for the Belgian airforce. The mod is visual only, but adds a new intake chinpod, nose sensors, a new dorsal fin and a JHMCS tracker in the cockpit. Check out the trailer here: I hope you will enjoy flying this mod!

One does not necessarily follow the other. Creating models costs money: you need a skeleton, animate it, synch the animation to world movement, usually also implement some (performance costly) inverse kinematics, and then skin it with usually more than one skin. Since investing into the DCS core sells very few additional models, ED does it very, very sparingly. So it's not that ED want to avoid some 'controversial' content created by an ego-obsessed a&&hole looking for clicks, I believe they merely are frugal to a fault. I'd LOVE to see some civ skins for some of the (mil) "Personnel" static objects. Just give them some jeans, a civ jacket (similar to the air show crowd object), and I'd be happy. Just think how much better a civ medevac mission can be made if we didn't have to place that friggin G4 soldier and could instead replace it with a 'civ dude'.

Спасибо за энтузиазм! Искренне с Вами, Команда Eagle Dynamics День Победы Никто не забыт, ничто не забыто! Воздушные сражения в небе Берлина продолжались с 21 апреля по 2 мая 1945 года. Советская авиация активно поддерживала наземные войска, продвигающиеся вглубь Берлина. В операции были задействованы 1-я, 2-я, 3-я и 4-я воздушные армии; 15-я воздушная армия и 5-й бомбардировочный корпус осуществляли стратегические бомбардировки, прикрываемые 129-й, 130-й и 303-й истребительными авиационными дивизиями, которые вступали в воздушные схватки с остатками Люфтваффе, которые хоть и были ослаблены, но все ещё пытались вести боевые действия. С советской стороны в операции участвовало более 7500 самолётов, против 2224 самолётов, остававшихся у Германии. Западные союзники общим счётом провели 36 успешных авиационных налётов на Берлин, составивших несколько тысяч самолёто-вылетов и их работа, в том числе рейды британских Mosquito на Берлин закончились в ночь с 20 на 21 апреля, чтобы исключить дружественный огонь (“friendly fire”) по входящим в город советским войскам. Последние крупные воздушные операции и сражения состоялись 8 мая в небе над Прагой и Брно в Чехословакии. Союзнические силы в них не участвовали. По соглашению между ставками верховного командования США и Советского Союза, американская авиация работала в это время в западной части Чехословакии, где активно использовались самолёты P-51, P-47 против немецких Fw 190 и Bf 109K. Все перечисленные, а также другие самолёты той эпохи, имеются в DCS World и мы испытываем огромную гордость за то, что можем сохранить их в DCS и позволить вам самостоятельно открыть для себя эту ключевую главу в истории последнего столетия. В память о машинах, а также о людях, которые проектировали, строили, обслуживали их и летали на них, пожалуйста, присоединяйтесь к нашей памяти. Поднимитесь в небо DCS и подумайте о реальных экипажах, которые рисковали своими жизнями! Их наследие продолжает жить в каждой виртуальной миссии, которую вы выполняете. Кампании DCS World Обновление 2.9.15 Обновление этой недели было посвящено улучшению нескольких одиночных кампаний. Четыре самые популярные кампании от Reflected Simulations получили обновления: в Fear the Bones и Speed & Angels исправлены скины для самолётов-заправщиков, в кампаниях для F‑4E добавлен автоматический триггер на выпуск закрылков.

Всех с праздником Дня Победы в Великой Отечественной Войне!

Hi I have no words to say how I find the Germany cold war map awesome. This map is highly detailled and not only on the airfieds, heliports airports or military base but everywhere. But there's something essential missing from this profusion of detail: The life ! We can see campings with tents, caravans and legendary volkswagen Westphalia everywhere, we can see street of big towns empty of pedestrian life and it's as if a global pandemic has decimated humanity and it was the end of the world. ED, would you think that it would be the time to add various civilian characters as statics or walking in the ME to give life in your simulator, especially for this map ? And civilians aeronautical characters like civilian liners pilots or flight attendands and moving boarding brides would be welcome too. Dont' forget that you're selling helicopters too and that all your customers do not love to fly around mach one and high altitude at all times. I love flying in F-16 or F-18 but I love flying at low speed and altitude too and on the Germany map, in this case, life on the ground is cruelly missing. ED, remember what have done the succes of ORBX airports or airfields sceneries since years in Flight simulator. It's all these characters, humans or animals walking and giving life to these sceneries.

Soooo nice! I wish ED would officially create F-16 variants. Like I would PAY for it. We need this kind of stuff as official.

I'm not. ED clearly stated RAZBAM asked them to take down the modules. They also clearly stated (after people were complaining they were still selling RAZBAM modules) they were obliged to keep selling them until RAZBAM asked them to stop. There's no conspiracy, only Ron Zambrano posting reckless public statements about a private court case. If you did some research, it would have become fairly obvious.

Great Work, looks awesome

Thnx! Currently working on the engine cowling/nozzle, here's a comparison to the default 1024x1024px skin VS 8K. Because of the lack of detail in the 3D model I have to make an illusion of depth/3D that is not necessarily 100% realistic, but I think its better this way:

Thanks for reporting it. Done. It will be available in a forthcoming update.

I doubt that will happen as it would mean HB needs to officially support a weapon that this aircraft could never use (even if someone would hang it on a real F-4E). I understand you wanting to cosplay another Phantom variant though. Cool that the mod at least lets you fire it and it works even though the aircraft has no code to support it.

Как бы лет через пять-десять имеющийся контент не выпилили по просьбе очередных одуревших прихватизаторов, присвоивших права на созданную советскими конструкторами технику. Да в том и дело, что скидки завезли.

Cold war map ... somebody said? Cheers TOM

Штош, в пятничной новости про День Победы написали, как и ожидалось. Даже про советские войска информацию дали. Но извиняться бухтящие о ED граждане, конечно же, по традициям деревенских бабок на лавке не будут.

@currenthill I understand you can't really answer to my question, but : In your future addition for DCS core, are you going to add yours infantries's mod (Javelin, Kornet, snipers, etc...) ? I fly with the 06 Multirole Helicpter Regiment (Who doesn't use mods) and it will be gamechanger for our transports (CH-47, Mi-8, Huey, even Mi-24) to have the possibily to transport soldiers with ATGM to defend city against IFV or Tanks. RPG soldiers are not a real threat against convoys, but anti material snipers or ATGM are. Embarking mortars teams without any script is a must have too. I hope your future core addition are infantries, because DCS core is really really lack of differents soldiers.

Just been out of Berlin in a 190. There's balloons there too. One thing I did find was that you can shoot them and they can be killed. We have a new game, pop the balloon!

It's not really a problem. There are multiple reasons why we have no civilians in DCS apart from the airshow crowd static. ED doesn't want DCS to be associated with videos of dying people, that's assuming they react to weapons or can be run over by a vehicle. If not - there would be stupid crowds of invulnerable people walking into fire and explosions breaking all immersion. And the obvious one - performance. There are some statics and AI infantry to choose from - place however many you want on the map - including the cows and enjoy the life. I'd like myself to have some civilians esp. for transport, rescue and COIN missions or just to make a challenge in avoiding casualties around targets.

A fee? Hell no. These guides were always free and always will be. I'm currently working on the F-4E Phantom II guide. I'm about 400 pages in, but that's a huge project to undertake. I am still a few months away from completion.

Hello, I just found this excellent mod. Here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3343526/ https://youtu.be/0ECG2jp7b2w?si=GIcIBOXIg-Ve8RqL

Dear Kola users, what is your experience? Does Orbx regularly respond to bug reports? I was surprised that the Bugs & Problems link leads to "Suggestions for DCS: Kola Map by Orbx" on the external forum, which is annoying (another registration). And bugs are definitely not the same as suggestions - there should be some dedicated subforums for just bugs/problems. And the other subforum link is 404, which seems a bit amateurish - or at least disconnected from our DCS world. I wanted to report low FPS over a particular building model, but I don't see many responses in the bug reports there - or was I just unlucky in my search?

It's not a show-stopper but an option to not have hot-air balloons flying would be great. I can see the use of 1 or 2 air-race circuits on the map or even harvesters in some fields but I doubt anybody would feel the need to go hot-air ballooning during WW3 Besides; if I see balloons I feel like punching someone in the face. Probably some unresolved issues from my youth

Common sense dictates that you shouldn’t give away a product that probably brings in a lot of revenue. And all the aircraft in DCS have free trials. The FC F-15C is on sale now for $7.49 which is nearly “free” in any case.

sad, though do you think about a good community module? https://www.reddit.com/r/Thunderchief/ Nothing has been done but I can do some LAU but I don't know diddly about modeling

They're working on making the MFD right now, along with other stuff. The mod was initially released without the capabilities that the squadron had, like custom HUD symbology to help with lofting rockets, selecting airfields, etc., but they've since changed their mind and decided to work on it after receiving the amount of positive support they did.

Yes please. DCS is gen 4 mainly oriented if we looking at any map, but Ugra media doing really good content. Normandy and Germany are awesom and have some kind of "old wave" immersion. Cold war assets of that time especially air defence would be good addition. Lots of aircraft that in wip need more care.

Монинские зарисовки. Всех с праздником!

I'm just throwing out an idea... what if you took the same terrain and just updated the buildings with WW2 vintage structures? It would be amazing to have a late war Germany map with both the western and eastern fronts surrounding Berlin. I would buy that.

I've been in contact with ED support and Meta support on this issue. The OVRserver log and oculus dash log reveals a deadlock, meaning the main rendering threat hangs. It seems very much to be an Oculus bug in either Dash (the virtual dasboard you see before switching to the windows desktop) or OVRserver. It correlates with the issue of the Meta Link App no longer starting at Windows start (which can be fixed by going to 'services' in Windows and restart the oculus vr service. Then starting meta quest link). However, getting meta quest link to work does not fix 'this' issue. I delivered the meta logs to Meta in an email chat with support, but it is the developers that need to fix it.

Possible fix for DCS BIOS keybinding issues when using JHMCS II thanks to Bones1775. Deactivate JHMCS II then Place this devices.lua in "Your Mod Manager Folder\F18C JHMCS II\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Cockpit\Scripts" Then activate JHMCS II. Check if keybinds work and JHMCS II Nvg still turns on. devices.lua

East of Giessen 50°35'45.1"N 8°43'26.0"E was the central Army depot centre of the American armed forces in Europe, with a special ammunition depot (nuclear artilly shells) and a MGM-52 Lance (tactical ballistic missile)site in the north of the depot.....not a nuclear powerplant like in the map.

После нескольких обновлений перестали наводиться ракеты Су-25 по коду лазера 1113. В то время как ракеты у Су-25Т и Ка-50 (по литерам между бортами) без проблем наводятся по данному коду. Прошу Вас починить наведение ракет, ведь носитель не имеет значения, ракете всё равно откуда или из чего она будет запускаться.

LINK16 and ECM.trk i suggest watching TRK first. when I detect an aircraft with electronic jamming turned on through the airborne radar at a non-burn-through distance, the direction of the jammer should be displayed at the top of the radar screen however, the interference source target will be overlaid on the target displayed by LINK 16. When using radar lock, the current distance will be displayed on the HUD also, when my radar is no longer illuminating an enemy aircraft, its track file will take a long time to be deleted. (More than 8 seconds) the TRK playback shows that when I manipulated the radar to prevent it from finding the target, the tracking file of the enemy aircraft without electronic jamming was deleted first, followed by the enemy aircraft with electronic jamming turned on. this problem has persisted for several versions and has not been improved

I always hold out hope
