Hi all, I have spoken to the weapons team and yes there have been some changes to the M117 and Mk 8x series warheads. We will be adjusting the AN-M series warheads soon also. Once we have the new fragmentation model we may see more adjustments, but I do not have any time line for that at the moment. Thank you

On my case, I prefer to spend a bit of time documenting the assets available so I don't have to rely on endless categories, like this: Catalog of Massun92 Assets Pack within DCS.pdf I refer to this document when I build a mission, else I end up doing a lot of trial & error when placing assets.

That's something we will know if/when ED announces their next FF RedFor module

Full list of weapons affected. IMO this is a very positive change and I'm shocked ED didn't announce this in the patch notes or newsletter. This is something the community has been asking for, for many years, and would have been appreciated by a great many players.

I am the manual!

Confused me as well, as there is a livery folder called Essex_Class_Carrier_1944, with the module? But if you open the ships LUA file the correct livery folder will be: GT.Name = "Essex" I've attached the folder (no textures) but with a full extract of Description LUA, incl. some custom arguments (at the bottom) - if you want to open some of the side hangers etc. Just remove the "--" in front of the specific arguments at the bottom. Essex.7z

Hmm... Very fun.

Problem with the bombs in DCS is that they have only splash damage and no fragmentation damage. If they have now updated the damage radius to the real world ones, than this are good news.

I've restructured the entire roadmap; no information has been lost. It now reads as follows: - The first post covers the first decade of (2011-2020) DCS World. - The second covers the entire period from 2021 to 2024 (and cover the second decade of DCS World. - The third is the current year on course(actualy 2025). - The fourth maintain the list the upcoming DCS World modules - The fifth, which was previously a backup post, is now a links post with some DCS Info. The third post is only temporary; each time we change years, it will be moved to the previous post, leaving the current year in place, until the decade is over. If anyone sees any issues with the Roadmap, please send me a PM so I can correct them, including official information from the ED team or third parties about functionality, modules, etc., if anyone notices it, including social media.

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen! I'm rushing with hot news for fans of the OH-58D "Kiowa Warrior" and DCS. A substantial, fully professional single player campaign (quality of paid versions or even better) will soon be coming to the DCS simulator. The campaign is intended for the Polychop Simulations OH-58D module, but you also need to have a map of Afaghanistan (the south-western part or the entire map). It is also worth adding that the campaign was created in cooperation with Ryan Robicheaux, the pilot of the Kiowa Warrior and the author of the book "Scouts out!". The campaign period is 2010. The campaign has been ready for some time, and is currently being finalized. What's most important for you, despite the large amount of my work and investment, the campaign will be available for free for fans of DCS (similarly to my previous one for the Mi-24P). You will find a full description of the campaign's manual (it will be important). The campaign will be available for download via the DCS website in User files section soon. For now, this is just a preview. The most important features of the campaign: Over dozen single player missions (14, lasting from 40 minutes to 1,5 hours gameplay of each) taking place in Afghanistan (DCS: Southwest Afghanistan map or the whole DCS: Afghanistan map is needed) Realistic, detailed scenarios, based on real events of the Operation Moshtarak (2010) and its prelude (although of course the campaign was adapted to the DCS environment and its possibilities, thus achieving a compromise between history and playability) Story driven campaign with a detailed mission introduction, voice commands and plot twists during the mission Proceeding the campaigns as the pilot of OH-58D and co-pilot/gunner/AMC Full, advanced voice package in English, even your co-pilot received his role! Several thousand lines of subtitles in English (only English is supported language) Various types of missions (also artillery guidance), including night ones Dedicated skin for Kiowa Warrior from period of Afghan war As real as it gets - cold starts only, you also need to return to the airport/FOB/FARP after the mission and special mission completion mode Auto ATC (automatic communication during takeoff and landing is used after selecting the appropriate radio) Prepared briefings (description of the situation and tasks), full documentation, graphics and photos Important data in the pilot's kneeboard Summary (including tips and tricks) in the manual, check it before the flight ;)! FPS friendly (tested in VR too), only the most necessary units plus the surroundings Custom background’s music created for this campaign (after successful completion of the campaign online access to the soundtrack) I'm aiming to release it in June this year, so now you have a great time to refresh your memory of the OH-58D ! The topic related to the discussion of the campaign will be located at the OH-58D module, LINK HERE.

ED has done a beautiful job of trying to simulate the interaction of the aircraft with its immediate surroundings. We now see a nice cloud of dust coming up from the rotor wash of a helicopter, we see the grass and various foliage behind a plane reacting to the thrust generated by its engine and we see vehicles with dust trails behind them whenever they are traveling off road - even when driving through the snow! (I don't know, maybe they fixed that by now ) What I am now wishing for is a dust cloud resulting from a plane landing on a dirt runway. In video after video, we see P-47s, P-51s, Corsairs, FWs and 109s landing on a dusty, dirt runway and the wake turbulence is illuminated by the loose dirt on the ground. It would be a wonderful addition to the DCS Core experience!

Ehh... Polyarny submarine base: Olenya Guba submarine base: Gadzhiyevo submarine base: This is the key area of the theater. For a map that is supposed to leave early access on July 22, this still looks ridiculously bad.

Version: Soviet 9.12 Airbase: Авиабаза 1521, Мары-1 - Центр боевого применения | Airbase 1521, Mary-1 - Combat Operations Center Squadron: Second 01 was squadron commander and had the squadron logo painted on the fuselage. Please see last photo.

The "UFO effect" can, usually, be mitigated by adding mass using setUnitInternalCargo ... The skill level is a factor in determining how much it needs but it is a trial and error process.

Ya’ll are in for a gas on release Why does my HUD not highlight the target, or show target speed and alt? why does my heading tape go away when locked? Why can’t I see target aspect with IRST lock and why does it take 8 seconds to get range?? With no IRST on/off button, how do I switch from radar to IRST and vice versa like in FC3??? Why does my RWR never show a target at 90 degrees? Why does my radar turn on no matter my mode switch sometimes? Why is only the right side of the HUD on the CRT screen? Why does it go through flares twice as fast up high? Why does my radar gimbal indicator not point towards target unless I’m level?? Okay I see there is interaction switch, why can’t I detect targets at long range with this switch forward? Why is my gunsight not smooth?

It’s a different thing, cockpit frame might shake, things in the cockpit might shake, like aiming sight, but never needles in the altimeter or VSI, as others mentioned maybe RPM but not the rest. To make cockpit more alive shake the cockpit not the needles, it’s unrealistic and indeed annoying.

Don't worry be happy. Have a great weekend.

UPDATE v2.63 Minor update in which more SFM tweaks are introduced, making flying experience better. I tried to adjust the plane's behavior at altitude, as it used to lose it pretty rapidly even at high speeds. Due to personal life stuff I can't put out a bigger update as of now, but also I didn't want to hold this smaller update off for eternity so here it is. Feel free to try it out and again, feedback is important in making this mod better in the future, so I'm looking forward to hearing it.

Hey all, I'm doing a tutorial series about the F4U Corsair. I hope they will help you master this legendary beast:

Here is the 1st versin of RSBN navigation for Mig-21. I included all the airports ED has in mind to include in all three phases of EA, also the northern part. Here is the map with all airports and airbases for all three phases, numbered by RSBN channels: And here is the Kneeboard which you will also see in the cockpit: -- How to install it: Simply unzip the content of the file into main folder DCS World OpenBeta. There is one file you guys have to edit, because I don't know how many maps do you guys have, so you have to do it by your self: Inside the folder: ...\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\MIG-21bis\Cockpit\Systems edit the R_NAV_data.lua by adding this line of text: "Afghanistan" some where inside the brackets, I added it at the bottom. Just don't forget to add the comma after the penultimate map name and no comma after the last map name! This is my example: Maps_Table = { "Caucasus", "Nevada", "Normandy", "PersianGulf", "TheChannel", "SinaiMap", "Syria", "Kola", "Afghanistan" } ATTENTION: with editing this file, you will break the Integrity Check (IC) in the multiplayer, offline will work normally. If you want to use multiplayer, you will have to remove the map's name from the R_NAV_data.lua file. I hope the devs include these 2 things in the near future to be part of the DCS game so we can use RSBN navigation online as well. -- NOTE for all: if you find any issue please let me know here, so I can fix it. RSBN Afghanistan.zip

currently elevator & aileron trim with FFB enabled works the same as without FFB enabled, when FFB is enabled the trim should move zero-force center, without applying any shift to axis center, so that if a player holds stick in one position, the trim should alter only the forces on stick without any effect on control surfaces. (control surfaces don't move, only trim tabs - all other ED WWII planes behave exactly like this with FFB enabled)

Hi, besides WMD-7 Targeting pod not working, it turns out it can't locate enemies properly in Dogfire either? When do you plan to fix this mess?

Installed new nvidia drivers, changed in nvidia profile inspector to preset K, turned on resizable bar, downloaded dll 310.3 file from techpower site. Less ghosting than before, allmost not at all.

Yes "RWR force off", would be good even for modern jets, because AI has way too good situational awareness through RWR alone.

Hi, This request refers to this topic, which proposes a module for reducing the size of textures without any visual loss, but with a gain in terms of VRAM usage. Could ED, for example, offer a choice of textures (normal and high) during updates? Thanks

All good on my end. AV-8B_AGM-65E.trk

Pretty sad, really. Their most recent product that brings anything to the flight sim market are the TPR pedals, and those are 7 years old. Other than that, the only edge they have is that in certain countries, importing stuff yourself is taxed way more than when shops do it, so things that are sold in local shops like the T.16000M and/or Warthog set then have way less of a markup than products that are not available in their local shops. Anyway, the AB9 seems to weigh 7 kg and the AB6 only 3 kg, so less than half the weight. Interestingly, the weight of the AB9 is not actually visible on the Moza product page. I had to view the source code of the page to find the information hidden there. Why, Moza, why?

Nice, maybe we no longer need the large explosion on top for the ones they changed if people are happy with the results. I might add a "SkipLargeExplosion" field in the explosives table for certain weapons then so the additional large explosion will not add potentially unwanted extra damage. Hopefully this is a sign they're deep into fragmentation/bomb damage review. The ingame radio is pretty much for testing purposes, are you looking to adjust settings ingame? https://github.com/stephenpostlethwaite/DCSSplashDamageScript/blob/master/Splash_Damage_3.3_gamemessages_radio.lua Or you can download 3.4 / the latest unreleased build at https://github.com/stephenpostlethwaite/DCSSplashDamageScript/blob/master/Splash_Damage_main.lua and then modify the configs at the top of the file to set ["enable_radio_menu"] = false, --enables the in-game radio menu for modifying settings to be true

Just as undocumented and maybe even more fun than that is the buff they gave the Mk-82 -83 -84 warheads! Yay! Boom!

That's the whole point. You don't need to make mod to install after every update. And you don't have to update said mod every time you need something new. You just apply the one mod after update, Quaggles. The rest is kept in Saved Games. I give up. Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk

All AI in DCS fly like UFOs. This isn't limited to mods, and it won't be fixed until we get the long-promised GFM that was talked about for the past five years or so (with no updates as to its progress).

I'm firmly of the opinion that when Japanese aircraft get modeled, they should be modeled based on their ACTUAL performance, not their "on-paper" specs. No Homare engine ever produced its rated power for the Ki-84 on that 87/91 gas the Japanese had.

there is undocumented new logic for ai warbirds in the patch. ai does some energy dogfighting. before, i could easily kill any ai with spitfire. now it extends and do a chandelle or flat instantaneous turn for a head on pass.

We require a firm date for a pre-order on steam and we do not have it yet. As mentioned previously we still have some dev tasks to complete and QA checks, as soon as we can share progress we will let you all know. Wags is planning videos for close to release.

Wags is planning videos currently

Sure. Assuming that the newsletter is only for US-based audience. Otherwise it’s as exciting as last year’s snow.

They can take their time. I rather something more polished and closer to complete then early access. I mean imagine it releases and ARU switch doesn’t work, Nav drift isn’t implemented, radar has no false targets or inaccuracies, no missile tones and voice for LA, no KMOD, autopilot as bugged as FC3, flare switch doesn’t change release program and can’t set our flare release pattern in ME, SPO-15 missing features such as PD fighters in X category until 15-20 km range where they switch to F, or how the 50/90 degree light only works at close range. What if TWS mode doesn’t automatically select most dangerous target, which would suck since HUD won’t show target speed. Or interaction between radar and IRST is simplified forcing you to relearn it when they properly implement it.

NOTE: Other remaining features are in development like The FCR Terrain Profile Mode (TPM) mode and all new George as CPG commands to allow much more extensive and realistic operation. Both are planned for release in summer 2025. DCS: CH-47F by Eagle Dynamics MFD updates: Implemented HSD Hover display mode (HSDH): The mode is functional in both FULL and HALF display formats. Hover ACP in HSDH mode is displayed for the following flight plan leg types: HOV, STP, LND via L6 bezel key. Hover ACP can be set (overridden) to the current helicopter position via L8 key. Hover display scale can be changed via L7 bezel key. Implemented FPLN FUEL & POWER page. Implemented LEG DATA page (some data fields are work in progress). In NRT mode on the HSI, the aircraft symbol now correctly rotates according to the helicopter’s current heading. In NRT mode the Heading Box now reflects the current heading value. The heading displayed values range is now [1, 360] (was [0, 359]). Added range rings to HSD in HALF display format. Fixed incorrect behavior of CDU FPLN DATA 1 page for STP and LND FPPs. Implemented default leg params assignment for STP and LND FPPs. Added TQ AVL/REQ values for Engine Instrument/Power Train Page.

DCS: L-39 Albatros by Eagle Dynamics Added Instant Action Missions for Iraq map DCS: Black Shark 3 by Eagle Dynamics Fixed non-localized hint in cockpit ABRIS. SNS accuracy low - improved SAI drift is too high - improved DCS Mirage F1 by Aerges General: F1BE rear seat standby horizon cage/uncage commands were added to autostart/autostop macros. F1BE rear seat 'Oxygen warning cut-off switch' was added to autostart/autostop macros. Fixed artifact when canopy is opened mid-air. Weapons: Now "Cannon 300-600m and missile lock/unlock button" release (return back to 30 degrees scan) will not break R550 target lock. To break lock the button should be pressed again. Fixed some types of payload that were restoring when jettisoned with 'Unlimited Weapons' option enabled. Reduced Sidewinder and Magic missiles launch preparation times, when those are launched unarmed (jettisoned for example). Systems: Both radio channels selectors now have a delay before repetitive action is started, when those are activated by the corresponding 'clockwise' and 'counterclockwise' input commands. Improved Optical Sight font readability, removed font artifacts at lower zooms. DCS: C-101 Aviojet by AvioDev Fixed not working 4 stations ripple launches. Airspeed indicator reference bug now has unrestricted 360 degrees rotation. The standby horizon is now remaining caged when pulling the knob and turning it fully clockwise. Fixed the problem with the rear cockpit throttle being not properly animated. RIP mode logic was updated - bombs are dropped now one by one, not in pairs. A/A missiles are jettisoned now by performing inert launch (previously they were dropped like a bomb). Emergency jettison is performed by pairs now - outboard, inboard, center stations, with 300 ms time intervals. Reduced Sidewinder and Magic missiles launch preparation times, when those are launched unarmed (jettisoned for example). DCS: JF-17 by Deka Ironwork Simulations Added.

Su-22m4 cockpit got proper normalmaps and roughmets now. Also, I announce that Su-22 will have some basic clickable functionality - simplified cold start, wing sweep controll, lights, gears, weapon panel etc Clickable cold start will fix problems with cold start that the mod currently have - Su-27 FM sees the plane as having 2 engines and nose wheel steering while Su25A avionics dont see it (and obvously we have one engine) It makes you unable to turn when started cold. Making a clickable action through lua should force comands like NWS on and "both" engines start into FM. We'll see how that works, stay tuned for more updates

First time posting in this long thread, so first want to acknowledge the great work of Tobi and EightBall. The OH-6A is a total blast to fly and the Vietnam Asset Pack is one of the best of its kind, especially (as someone mentioned above) the Radio Hooch and its sound effects. The asset pack works beautifully in my Vietnam mission map my friends and I have been flying exclusively for the past 8 months with the F-4E, couldn't have done it properly without it! So, I wanted to mention if anyone had interest (and if the authors are ok with it), we made a little silly modification to the VC Bicycle ground unit that puts a smile on our face. On our startup parking ramps, we have the VC Bicycle riding laps continuously in front of our revetments (we've even given him an affectionate name I'll leave out here!) but we were always thrown off by his sounding like a truck driving by... it just didn't go well with all the detail EightBall put into the animation of the pedaling and such. So, we did a little modification to remove the truck engine sound and added sounds of squeaking chains/pedaling, some grunting here and there, and a few other sounds. I realize how ridiculous it is but I think it adds to the amazing asset pack! All that's needed is just a new sound file I can provide, a new SDEF file, and a re-worked database file. I'll wait and see if the authors respond to this with their blessings and then if anyone wants it, I can share the files here.
