Got the rivet details sorted and lined up, next to do is the radiator cowling and a few more fasteners

Been a productive day. I essentially rebuilt the PMFD page to combine the stock version with the one I had done a couple years ago. At the time, it was a decrypted version of the PMFD system file and it didn't have everything. Now the config functionality is restored, although the status part is different because of the changes I made to the page and the code. However, I also enabled keyboard and joystick binds for all of them. The buttons on either side of the PMFD will also activate the choice. Canopy/Tint, Visor/Type, Flood/Color etc. Changing the options no longer requires weight on wheels, so you can do it any time. From the external view you'll be able to cycle the canopy and visor options, from inside, the photo, the flood lights and the Garfield clinger. And speaking of canopy, I was inspired by Speaker's work, and I really liked the rose-colored option. I've created my own and replaced the clear canopy with it. All of these options will be in the next release, probably tomorrow or so.

Thanks for the feedback! And yea, I've noticed that I'm skipping meals and not getting as much sleep as I should. I have a full-time job but took this week off. I was actually intending to FLY this thing, but I've spent all of my time working on it instead.

-------UPDATE 250529 Rebuilt the PMFD system file. Canopy Tint, Visor, Flood Color, Photo, Garfield Clinger, Left and Right Kneeboards are all selectable from the Checklist page (CHK) or from newly created keyboard/joystick bindings found under F-22 Misc. These can be changed at any time, weight on wheels isn't required. The status part is different because of the changes I made to the page and the code. The buttons on either side of the PMFD will also activate the choice. Canopy/Tint, Visor/Type, Flood/Color etc. Added working menu selections to all PMFD pages. Rescaled the VVI G Meter for 4/8/12 G indications with a limit of 14 G. Added a rose colored canopy tint option inspired by Speaker's work. It is not the same texture or rough material as his. It replaces the clear canopy option.

From the first post in this thread: "We dont want to state any time window for release as the mod is still far off and we want to get it right without having to skip steps to meet a set date". If someone is working in their own spare time on something you will get for free, "when it's ready" is an entirely appropriate response, in my opinion. And very likely the only answer they can give, in such circumstances, since work, personal life etc may have to take priority.

Mission Updates!!! These missions needed an upate to bring them inline with others. Theyve also benefitted from various gameplay improvement like target set updates, mission progression, audio playback triggers, landing and prking slots and dozens of minor improvements. Mission 1 - Fixed bug on mission progression not working - Fixed some audio not working - Improved Ai low level route - Improved player orders - Loadout changed. Added more rockets and TGP - Made Delta (FAF Mirages) easier to formate/RV - Made wingman less likely to crash at lake during low level ingress - Made convoy easier destroyed 55% damage, mission complete - Adjusted score ratings - Tidied map, hid units - Updated Kneeboards Mission 3 - Armed Recce - Dozens of mission improvements - Improved target sets - Improved mission progression/orders - Made Hot Start - Improved audio not working in parts - Added HARD MODE/IMMORTAL MODE - Updated Kneeboards Thanks for the support

In regards to nukes, given how limited we are to do anything the best I could manage was a series of 500 or so very large explosions to get at least some sort of mushroom smoke effect

We have reported this to the team for investigations. thank you

Ich finde, der Thread erfüllt durchaus eine gute Funktion. Die Hürde, dort eine Frage zu stellen, ist sehr gering. Im internationalen Bereich antworten die Leute oft auf völlig unzutreffende Threads. Da gab es vielleicht vor 5 Jahren einen Thread zu einem ganz konkreten Problem mit einer ganz konkreten Waffe in einem ganz konkreten Flugzeug, und dann wird der Thread ge-necro-d, weil jemand ein völlig anderes Problem mit der Waffe in dem Modul hat. Das finde ich deutlich nerviger als einen großen Thread, in den man einfach alles reinkippt. Beim Ka-50 gab es vor langer Zeit auch so einen Sammelthread und die gleiche Kritik daran. Auch da fand ich, der Thread erfüllte seinen Zweck sehr gut. Unter anderen Umständen würde ich noch sagen, so ein Sammelthread ist Gift für die Suche nach ähnlich gelagerten Problemen. Nur leider ist die Suche in diesem Forum so grottenschlecht, dass man die eh ignorieren kann. Hab ich vor Monaten gemeldet, dass ich meine eigenen Threads bei Eingabe des vollen Threadtitels als Suchbegriff irgendwo auf Seite zwei der Trefferliste finde. Das heißt die Suche ist ohnehin praktisch wertlos. Man kann das ja auch als Aufforderung verstehen, sich bei der Antwort kurz zu fassen. Wenn überhaupt jemand verwarnt werden sollte, dann vermutlich ich, weil ich das konsequent ignoriere und meine Antworten so lang mache, wie ich es für angemessen halte. Alles in allem finde ich, hier im deutschen Forum haben wir eine ganz gute Aufteilung in Threads und würde aus meiner Sicht nicht viel ändern wollen. Wenn überhaupt, könnte man bei den Stickies aufräumen. Mindestens der Stammtische Thread feiert bald 10-jähriges seit seiner letzten Antwort und 2 der 3 dort erwähnten Stammtische wurden wohl von Corona dahingerafft. Generell frage ich mich eher, was so schwer daran ist, Fragen so zu stellen, dass man sie beantworten kann, wenn man den Leuten nicht vorher eine Stunde lang über die Schulter geschaut hat. Dass in 90 % der Fragen ein Track eine große Hilfe ist, scheint immer noch größtenteils Geheimwissen zu sein. Eine ordentliche, reproduzierbare Beschreibung kriegen so manche Leute nicht auf die Reihe. Da wäre ja eher die Frage, wie man dieses Wissen unter die Leute bringen kann. Aber ich finde, Hilfe bei Problemen (Troubleshooting) + F.A.Q. ist hier im deutschen Forum recht prominent in den Stickies zu finden - wer den Thread übersieht oder ignoriert, wird wohl auch jeden anderen Hilfethread übersehen und ignorieren. Aber gut, dass diese Diskussion außerhalb von "Kurze Fragen, kurze Antworten" läuft, sonst würde ich mir echt bald eine Verwarnung einfangen.

I just updated/fixed some of the data in the rsbn navigation for DDR. I would still need some help from you guys, with location indicators or ICAO code (its a four-letter word) of some airports, I was just unable to find. These are the airports (No of the rsbn channel) I would need codes: - Mahlwinkel (6) - Altes-Lager (24) - Sperenberg (28) - Damgarten (32) - Gross Mohrdorf -- Example: ETSH is for Holzdorf airport I am not sure how Russians had that salved back then, but as far as I know, they also had ICAO codes for all the airports or air bases. Oh, and btw, the updated file is in the 1st post.

Irrelevant we are talking about 29 here, and as we know firing 30mm is not an issue with 29.

IRL Magic I can still track front quarter as long as the IR source is still there and gimble limits are not exceeded. Fusing is obviously the issue with Magic I. Magic I seeker sensitivity was good enough to get lock at 90 degrees Angle Off on a Mil powered target 700deg C JPT at 2nm at medium altitude, so not sure what the 63deg aspect thing is about.

Well with them doing an F-35 they cant use the "too classified" excuse for pretty much anything anymore. That ship has sailed as we know know they can pretty much do it all. So yeah the MH-47 stuff should be done or at the BARE MINIMUM M134's and a refueling probe.

You cleaned off all the sneezes!

They could launch and trap, but they couldn't go below decks. Which is why there's the clips of them doing carrier quals on Coral Sea, and the story of a jet each from VF-114 and 213 that landed on Midway due to weather and low fuel state and launched the next day.

They are not ignored, Work is in progress but it takes time, when we are ready to share completed work and new features we will. thank you threads merged

OK, I got the permission from Gunthrek. I have fixed several more bugs, made a few more improvements, and generated voiceovers where needed, and finally uploaded it as a complete Fixpack Edition to DCS files where you can find the final list of improvements as well: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3344992/ Many thanks to Gunthrek again for his work. Even working on these fixes took quite an effort let alone creating the original campaign.

OK dear fellows, Just a quick update on my upcoming Mi-24 campaign set in Afghanistan. As with all my previous campaigns, this one will be story-driven and supported with plenty of documentation—approach charts, briefings, and more. And of course, a must for me: full voice-over! Thanks to AI, voice quality and realism are getting better and better. For authenticity, all dialogues are in Russian with English subtitles. That said, a big apology to all native Russian speakers—while I do speak some Russian, my level isn't high enough to ensure 100% accurate dialogue. Sorry about that! Sure, I could try to find native Russian speakers to help, which would be awesome—but it would also take much more time to finish the campaign. And since it’s a free one... As of today, I’ve written 11 missions. The campaign spans about 10 days. 8 missions are ready, and 5 have been fully tested and (hopefully!) are bug-free. Cheers null

@BIGNEWY As a reference I created the R73 scenario again, but now with a player F16 instead. I tried it 10 times and the pilot survived 6 times! So I have a 0% survival rate against a R73 in a F/A-18 and a 60% survival rate against a R73 in the F-16. I don't know why the qa team is happy with the results, when they tested this for hours, but there is definitely something wrong with the hornet damage model. kind regards TEST_F16_PLAYER_SHOT_DOWN_R73_FROM_REAR.miz

UPDATE – BO-105 DEVELOPMENT STATUS It’s time for a proper update. Since 2013, I’ve been working to bring the BO-105 into DCS – and the path has been anything but smooth. I’ve gone through technical hell, complete rewrites, system redesigns, hardware issues – and just as many challenges caused by people, not technology. To be clear: some individuals actively made it difficult to realize this module. Instead of support, I encountered deliberate resistance, withheld knowledge, and ego games from so-called “experts” who could’ve helped but chose not to. But I didn’t give up. I pushed forward. A true game-changer came with access to the original technical documentation from Lager Lechfeld. These documents didn’t just clarify the system architecture – they provided every single value needed to accurately simulate the engine: flow rates, pressures, temperature limits, control curves, response timings – all of it. That level of data brought the entire project to the next level of fidelity. Right now, we’re fully focused on improving and finalizing the fuel control system, which is directly dependent on the GPFC (Gas Producer Fuel Control) – the brain of the BO-105’s turbine management. The current implementation includes: – Fuel flow logic and pressure dynamics – Ohmic resistance, voltage, amperage, and current load behavior – Hydraulic system response and complete onboard electrical logic – All connected in one integrated simulation environment The engine is being simulated 1:1, using real-world parameters – no assumptions, no placeholders. Just raw, system-level fidelity. And that’s not all – the entire rotor system is fully modeled, including the hingeless, rigid rotor head and its unique 78° phase lag. This key difference to conventional rotor systems has a significant impact on control behavior and is being replicated exactly in the flight model. So why all this? Because the BO-105 is the love of my life. This isn’t just about “getting it to fly” – it’s about honoring a machine that deserves to exist in DCS in all its technical brilliance. To those who’ve supported this project over the years – thank you. To those who made it harder – congratulations. You made it take longer. But you didn’t stop it. This isn’t just a helicopter mod. It’s a mission that started in 2013 – sharpened by adversity, fueled by obsession, and built with absolute love and respect for this aircraft. And yes – I know the flight model commentary is coming. I’ll be reading it… popcorn in hand

Hallo allerseits, ich weiß, ich schreibe nicht mehr viel, lese dafür aber immer noch täglich mit. Und ich stelle jetzt bewusst provokant mal in den Raum, dass ich den "kurze Fragen, kurze Antworten" Thread zumachen würde, wenn ich Admin wäre. Warum? 1. So ein Thread für alles hält die Leute davon ab, eigene zu erstellen. Darunter leidet die Übersicht hier im Forum. 2. Woher will der Fragesteller wissen, ob die Antwort kurz sein kann? Oft entwickeln sich Diskussionen über mehrere Replies hinweg. Was besonders, wenn immer wieder der vorherige Beitrag zitiert werden muss, echt eklig zu lesen ist. Ist aber unvermeidlich, wenn gerade zwei oder mehr "kurze Fragen" in dem Thread beantwortet werden. Es gab vor Jahren mal die Diskussion, warum wir keine Kategorien in den internationalen Foren haben. So, wie's im Moment läuft (kFkA ist der bei weitem meisten frequentierte Thread im deutschen Forum) könnte man sogar die Möglichkeit, Threads zu erstellen, löschen und alles in einen "deutschsprachige Fragen und Beiträge" Megathread schmeißen. Was meint Ihr? VG Mattes

I've noticed that no other ground mapping radar in the game seems to be effected by jamming in the way that the Viggen is. Even the Viggen itself only "sees" jamming from ships, and not any other source. This leads me to the question of how it's implemented in the Viggen. Is it: 1) An actual interaction between the ship and the aircraft. Ex: The ship object starts jamming, this information is passed to the aircraft object, which produces the jamming effect on the radar display. OR 2) Wholly contained in the aircraft's logic, and not an actual interaction. Ex: The Viggen's code has some rule for when a ship WOULD turn on it's jammer, and when that condition is met, it produces jamming effects on the radar display. If 1) then is there a way to set a ship's jamming behavior in the ME?

Hi new file available, see the first post for complete information.

Hello, We noticed an issue with GBU-16 in loft bombing on the F-18: the unguided ballistics is so long (2000') that the bomb never acquires the laser spot if we try to guide it. Therefore the bomb is always long and unguided. By comparison, an unguided GBU-12 in loft bombing is approximately 700' long, and can easily be lased to its target. Self-lasing loft bombing with GBU-12 is indeed quite effective. The attached tacview track will illustrate this issue: first pass is guided GBU-12 (direct hit), second pass is unguided GBU-12 (700' long), third and fourth passes are unguided GBU-10 (2000' long, laser ont target, climb 25° and 40°), last pass is guided GBU-12 (direct hit). Tests with GBU-10 are pending. Did anyone notice this issue already? Did anyone managed to do loft bombing with GBU-16? Thanks! Test GBU-12 and GBU-16.zip.acmi

The other cause of ghosting is a framerate lower than the HMD framerate. For example, if your game frame rate is only 50 fps and your HMD refresh rate is 90hz -> the result is ghosting.

Ja, das ist die Mechanik für die Verwendung als Trimmer. Der Trimmergriff hat 4 Umdrehungen, und auf den Magnetsensor werden 65 Grad übertragen.

The strange thing is, it only happens in the late afternoon. No problems in the evening and now I also just finished 2 hours working on my mission.

в базовом варианте да, нету. влево, вправо, вверх, вниз. один датчик и ардуинка. но оно и в сборке/калибровке простое. подробности тут однако есть некий продвинутый вариант, аж 9DOF сам не смотрел и не пробовал. эта тема тут

@BIGNEWY @NineLine Have not seen much info on any SC updates or tweaks here in a bit any new news seems like its dead in the water again or have I missed anything. J

Issue is still very much there for me. Map is kind of unplayable. As soon as I look anywhere towards that bugged area, my FPS just tanks. Any update from ED / Ugra on this? Any cause found?

I am excited about this mod. I am ready to create an Iranian IRGC skin based on the following livery to complement my other skins (see: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3320065/).

Hab' ja schonmal geschrieben, dass dieses Modul ein absoluter Tag1-Kauf wird. Wäre es gewesen, selbst wenn es "nur" ein 08/15-DCS-Modul gewesen wäre. Aber unter diesen Umständen noch viel mehr. Das es ein Projekt ist, dass eher lange dauern wird, da kein großer Entwickler dahinter steckt, war ja allen klar, und ist auch kein Problem. Geduld haben wir in der DCS Welt ja gelernt. ...aber dass es aktive Widerstände gibt, das schockiert mich jetzt schon. Was soll den sowas...... unglaublich....

Any chances of including a double kneeboard option for those that fly with the pilot body visible? 1 per leg, for example, Map/Route on your left and commo on your right. Could set each kneeboard using the current pin system. Pin 1-5 left leg, Pin 6-10 right leg. I requested a tablet but I guess that's to modern so maybe this will be more attainable.

the FPM change does not matter. what matters is how rapidly you are moving the controls. based on the movement of the WHITE player-input-position indicators: 1. you are moving the collective up/down by as much as 10% of its travel in fractions of a second 2. you are moving the pedals by as much as 30% of their travel in fractions of a second. 3. you are making similarly jerky movements with the cyclic, but over only about 5% of travel. Whether or not you can get away with this in other helicopters is irrelevant - other helicopters are not the AH-64. You are not giving smooth inputs, you are causing PIO, and the SCAS is not able to keep up as a result. Maybe you used to be able to fly like this in a previous patch and the SCAS was masking it. Should the SCAS be quick enough and have enough authority to mask you rapid inputs? I don't know. But i do know bad technique when i see it, and i see it in your video. Diagnose one problem at a time. Make smoother and smaller inputs, give the helicopter time to react to your inputs, and then see if the unwanted yaw behavior is still there.

Agreed. It doesn't help that it freezes and crashes every other launch for me. It just feels like a clunkier version of the Mission Editor, but with fewer options. I think the ME is awesome and that the old "create fast mission" generator was different enough to warrant its existence, too. But as for this, I will likely never touch the QAG again.

Ditto this. I was messing around with it this morning, and the old Quick Mission Generator was better.

The team have reproduced and have made a report.

Hi fighters HotFix has been delayed, but it will be on your computers soon. We have received amazing feedback from you. We have tried to fix everything we saw and even more. If you created a topic in the bugs section and your problem was solved - write about it, because we read it. Check the ILS, RSBN for interference - everything should work. So let's look at the list: - RAM and video memory usage has been reduced - optimized traffic: the amount of harvester traffic is reduced, vehicle traffic is shifted to cities and airfields - fixed normals on road intersection textures - corrected errors in frequencies and beacon locations: Briest RSBN is set to terrain, added Mendig NDB 331.0 NMN, Tempelhof VOR/DME changed to VORTAC, added Kirn VORTAC 117.5 KIR ch 122, added Solling NDB 374.5 SOG - corrected errors in taxiways of the following airfields: Allstedt, Bitburg, Bremen, Hahn, Hannover, Merseburg, Neubrandenburg, Neuruppin, Peenemunde, Pferdsfeld, Ramstein, Schonefeld, Schweinfurt, Sembach, Spangdahlem, Stendal, Tegel, Tempelhof, Tutow. - Ramstein taxiway signage corrected - removed trees on helipads: H_GDR_34, H_FRG_46, H_FRG_51 - color correction of airfield ground textures: Bitburg, Buckeburg, Frankfurt, Finow, Giebelstadt, Gutersloh, Holzdorf, Ramstein, Sembach, Spangdahlem, Werneuchen - fixed bugs in models - disabled unused models and textures - increased height of tank bridge on ranges - added straight electric wires on poles along streetcar and railroad tracks - added marine passenger ship in the scenes of ports and traffic - corrected incorrect display of icons and names on the map - added markings of air defense points, radars and hospitals on the map - improved image quality for the main menu

Really wish you guys would actually get something finished and lock it down

Just finished the 2nd Mission (The raid) with 3h or more. It is just awesome! The dialogs are excellent and the missions are really fun and engaging. I'm not using any time acceleration and I enjoy every minute of this campaign. The added music together with the excellent lighting in the early morning hours gives the campaign a Triple-A feeling. Just unbelievable how much entertainment you get for those few bucks the campaign cost. Excellent work!

Hi, it happens because on latest dcs the flamming cliffs Dll is not loaded by default. A workaround us to first start on an A-10A, like this: setup a test mission with two clients: an A-10A (not the C model), and a Vsn Hunter mk6. Start the mission and enter first to the A-10A, then press esc and select change Slot, to enter the Hunter, it should now work.

Cockpit canopy should be open. There may also be intercom option. In RL, at least from watching exercises, A-10 pilots communicate with crew chies via cable, but canopy open. Chocks are pulled , and aircraft rools. Canopy is closed and ejection safety is armed only when aircraft has cleared enclosure roof.

As a maker of Swedish Campaigns, I find it annoying that all my flights are named "Enfield" and "Springfield" rather than Urban and Olle as they should be. It is also confusing for the player for obvious reasons and for accessibility reasons, I do not wish to limit the players view of the F-10 map. If there is an option to alter this, I have not found it and would honestly like to hard wire it into the mission itself.

Hello, Please have a look at this topic: I hesitated between a F-18 and a weapon bug... It must come from F-18 way of computing release solution. Thanks.

На испытаниях вычислили оптимальный угол для пикирования и безопасного вывода на больших скоростях это +1.1 градус ( был диапазон +3 -8 на ранних моделях а сделали +1.1 -6 ) в связи с этим изменилось само хвостовое оперение и соответственно центровка ведь добавили бак водометанола за сиденьем . Кстати выступ за заголовником который присутствуют на G14 это как раз из за бака для водометанола. см фото. Далее по списку : заливная горловина для топлива переместилась на одну секцию вперед; кольцевая антенна радио-полукомпаса переместилась на одну секцию ближе к хвосту; радиостанцию переместили на одну секцию вперед, там же разместили аккумуляторную батарею; люк доступа в радио отсек перенесли вперед и немного выше; кислородные баллоны разместили в правом крыле. Объем бака системы MW 50 ( если сравнить с G-10 и G-14 увеличили до 115 литров. Этот бак на истребителе Bf.109 K-4 можно было использовать не только для смеси метанола и воды, но и для обычного топлива. Таким образом, он мог применяться в качестве дополнительного топливного бака. Дальность полета увеличивалась без использования 300 литрового сбрасываемого бака, ухудшающего аэродинамику и летные характеристики. Изначально на “K-4” уславливался фонарь кабины “Erla-Haube” с мачтой для антенны. Но в ноябре 1944 вышла директива (TAGL II Bf 109 A2 Nr. 3, 427/44), которая содержала инструкции для фронтовых мастерских технического обслуживания по изменению стандарта крепления антенны. От мачты отказались, а антенна должна была крепиться к фюзеляжу между фонарем и кольцом полукомпаса. древесину стали использовать при изготовлении приборной панели, органов управления, сиденья, а также для других элементов планера (руль направления, вертикальные и горизонтальные стабилизаторы); хвостовое колесо стало полностью убираемым, закрываться створками (однако часто оно фиксировалось в выпущенном положении); появились створки и для основного шасси; большие 660х190мм колеса основного шасси стали штатными, что потребовало появление больших вытянутых обтекателей на крыле; на верхней поверхности крыла появились индикаторы положения шасси; изменена установка крыла; стала более гладкой верхняя поверхность крыла; улучшена форма сопряжения кабины с фюзеляжем; применены новые воздухозаборники для обдува; улучшена система охлаждения двигателя; установлены более производительные маслорадиаторы; применены более совершенные выхлопные патрубки с реактивным эффектом; аэродинамически усовершенствовано капотирование двигателя. При испытаниях серийных самолетов было установлено, что Bf 109К летали примерно на 35- 40 км/ч быстрее Bf 109G при тех же двигателях и наружных подвесках. Доп. триммеры на РВ и элеронах сделали для снятий усилий на ручке на больших числах М в этих каналах . Конечно же особых отличий в пилотировании человеку слетавшему на нём один-два полёта заметить сложно , если только не загонять его на большие числа М.
