Patch notes will have full details, and we can all be excited while we wait

Because not a single day goes by when I don't get messaged on Discord by someone who can't read basic instructions and they fail to install it properly. It's really annoying and the installer ensures it is put in the correct location. It also places the script for the door gunners in the correct location too. Lastly, it checks and shows you the update changelog so you can just run the installer and know if there is a new version and update. And I can just keep uploading regular small fixes when I can, without having to publish and announce lots of new versions. I think it is much simpler for everyone involved. I know it maybe conflicts with people who use mod managers, but I think on the whole that is a minority of players and the benefits are worth it.

Hi ED, There is an issue with one of your 3rd party. As you may know, Polychop's Dev team have all quit the company leaving only the CEO. For some time now the CEO is not even answering on his discord and there is more and more unresolved bugs on the SA342 Gazelle and some on the OH58D Kiowa. The bugs vary from missing textures (on dipole antenna), wrong axis, keybindings issues, multicrew desynch and bugs, kneebord mixed up and more. Those bugs were reported from month or years, but nothing is done... For example here is some non revolved bugs : Reported on July 2 2023 : --https://forum.dcs.world/topic/329727-tm-warthog-throttle-mouse-axis-problem-on-tv/ Reported on June 8, 2023 : --https://forum.dcs.world/topic/327589-pedal-trim-not-working-propertly/ Reported on July 20, 2024 : --https://forum.dcs.world/topic/354334-multicrew-issue-pilot-and-copilot-affects-night-vision-google-employment/#comment-5672503 Reported on July 20, 2024 :--https://forum.dcs.world/topic/354333-multicrew-issue-with-nadir-even-when-copilot-leaving-the-gazelle-and-rejoin-entering-and-editing-waypoints-not-working/ Reported on september 14, 2024 : --https://forum.dcs.world/topic/357716-the-windscreen-wipers-do-not-wipe-when-you-press-the-pilot-wiper-button-on-the-stick/ Reported on september 14, 2024 : --https://forum.dcs.world/topic/357715-floating-metal-clip/ Reported on april 2, 2025 : --https://forum.dcs.world/topic/371479-i-love-the-gazelle-but-continuing-to-be-patient-for-a-joystick-slew-fix-for-the-minigun-variant-unable-to-point-minigun-to-the-front-of-aircraft-also-unable-to-point-fully-up-and-down/#comment-5654828Reported on June 27, 2025 : --https://forum.dcs.world/topic/375569-pilot-position-windshield-wiper-clickable-cockpit-switch-issue-as-of-291711733/ Reported on August 5, 2025 : --https://forum.dcs.world/topic/377214-multi-player-seat-switch-issue/ Of course there is more bugs than those mentionned here, it's just to show that some bugs are here since years ago. Now, what can ED do ? Well 3rd party have to maintain their products (which is not the case for Polychop Simulation). I expect mesures to be taken by ED toward Polychop to remedy this bad situation If this is not enough, maybe the Gazelle IP could end up in someone else hands, someone who will actually take care about this module, either ED or an other 3rd party. Thank you, Peet

Outstanding work gents! Looking forward to more stick time later this week!

The release of videos does not necessarily coincide with the release of the module and would not hold up the release; Wags often releases videos after the module is released. There should be a new video this week.

Hello everyone, this is Shaft, from Myself Dynamic! As an active participant in the gazelle community, a day one fan of this historical module (one of the first 3rd party module) in DCS, and a livery creator for Polychop, I must say I'm 100% with what was written by @peeter It is not because the gazelle is a "niche" module that Polcyhop can act like if it doesn't matter, and we really need to get people at ED involved in this. There are guidelines, rules, commitment toward costumers, and some basic criteria are just not met by Polychop right now. We know for sure that not a single resource is dedicated to the gazelle, and this is a reality for over a year and a half almost.. There is a long list of easy fix that is just lying there and no one cares about it... Please, someone have to make it right. For the sake of the gazelle, and the credibility of both Polychop (and by them, ED...) Take care all

FLY TOGETHER is a new format in which you can follow the entire mission as a movie, including comments from the developer. This is not only intended to provide insight into the missions and their structure, and in particular the ‘fun factor’, but also to illustrate how much you can potentially learn, not only to master the aircraft and its systems, but also to behave like a pilot. What should you pay attention to? Why is it better to do it this way and not another? You will find answers to these and other questions here. You are also welcome to ask questions or share your opinion with us.

Patch notes discussion September 2025 https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/news/changelog/release/2.9.20.15010/ DCS 2.9.20.15010 Introduced DCS: MIG-29 A Fulcrum by Eagle Dynamics in the Early Access now! Introduced DCS: NS430 for MIG-29 A Fulcrum by Eagle Dynamics.

GPS spoofer unit model added, WIP, no jamming functionality yet. Currenthill Asset Pack Numerous changes to pack models, parameters of vehicles and interactions. Detailed list Changed BMP-T mesh smoothing Changed T-84 Oplot-M mesh smoothing Changed 9K720 textures Fixed BMP-T suspension Fixed Pantsir-S1 suspension Fixed M-ATV suspension Fixed M1130 suspension Fixed M142 suspension Fixed IRIS-T SLM suspension Fixed FV101 suspension Fixed FV107 suspension Fixed 9K720 suspension Fixed TOS-1A suspension Fixed Tor M2 suspension Fixed T-90M suspension Fixed T-84 Oplot-M suspension Fixed T-64BV suspension Fixed T-90A encyclopedia animation state Fixed TOS-1A encyclopedia animation state Fixed T-90A turret traverse and elevation angles Fixed T-90M turret traverse and elevation angles Fixed T-90M sight point placement Fixed Tor M2 encyclopedia error Fixed Pantsir-S1 low engagement performance Added Pantsir-S1 player control Fixed IRIS-T SLM STR radar rotation speed Fixed Tor M2 low engagement performance Added Tor M2 player control Changed Tor M2 mesh smoothing Changed Pantsir-S1 textures Fixed Project 22160 Tor M2KM low engagement performance Added Project 22160 Tor M2KM player control Fixed Project 22160 Tor M2KM search radar rotation issue Fixed T-64BV turret traverse and elevation angles Fixed Tu-95MS air refueling probe misalignment Fixed 9K720 armor protection level which was too high Fixed TOS-1A turret protection level which was too high Fixed M1083 armor protection level which was too high Fixed IRIS-T SLM armor protection level which was too high Fixed Pantsir-S1 armor protection level which was too high Fixed M142 armor protection level which was too high Fixed M142 ATACMS missile covers after rearming Changed IRIS-T SLM LN from flip tube covers to ejecting tube covers Changed IRIS-T SLM STR textures Changed IRIS-T SLM CP textures Changed IRIS-T SLM LN textures Fixed Tor M2 alarm state animation Fixed FV101 HESH long range direct fire issue Added FV101 HE-T ammunition type Fixed Tu-95MS uncentered propellers Mission Editor Add additional precision to object heading rotation field Quick Action Generator QAG now randomizes enemy units and AI skills based on the selected mission type. Fixed: end-mission window no longer appears in the debriefing after exiting the simulation. Fixed: previously added units are no longer reset when creating random groups in “Bomber Intercept” and “Ground Attack” missions. UI Added Search bar to Loadout and Livery lists in Rearming and Dynamic slots menu with the ability to search by name Added livery selection to encyclopedia with ability to seamlessly reload livery (will help livery creators to check changes made to the livery, without restarting DCS) WIP we will look for feedback. A more detailed tool for viewing models inside DCS is planned. Added Search bar to Dynamic spawn menu with the ability to search for a unit by name Removed old versions of in-game manuals from interface. Huey has "manual" in options - Bugs and Problems - ED Forums. Controls Mapping interface conflict tooltips do not show proper information - fixed Added new system options for mirrors resolution and sequential rendering Dynamic slots interface rope length for helicopters is not inherited from template group - fixed Weapons Introduced advanced model for R-27 missile family. Missiles got new CFD-based flight model, authentic control system that includes wing actuator model, altitude band-switching autopilot, Kalman-type guidance filters (different for IR and RF versions) which also drive seeker gimbal mechanics, INS and datalink system with realistic inaccuracies (for RF missile only), and RF or IR seeker. New semiactive RF seeker provides 'multitarget' tracking feature. This means that RF signals from several distinct targets will interfere and form one bigger apparent target once they simultaneously fall into the missile tracking gate. This apparent target may lead the missile between real targets in a target group, or to dispensed chaff. It also may steal missile velocity tracking gate and break guidance. R-27 proximity fuze now has a conical antennas pattern and variable explosion command delay to adjust for target size and closure rate. And, in addition, missiles got number of limitations caused by control systems design. For example RF missile can not be launched with roll angle exceeding 120 degrees because of gimbaled INS roll limit. Added Mk-83AIR GP HD bomb Added laser PRF code adjustment option for GBU-54 Fixed phantom bomb instances being frozen on impact instead of penetrating whatever they collided with Added fuze options for Soviet bombs and dispensers (BetABs, FABs, OFABs and RBKs). Adjusted BetAB, FAB and OFAB warhead parameters Added fuze options for Chinese bombs (250-2 and 250-3) Fixed phantom LGB instances trajectory desynchronization when using non-default laser PRF code Corrected available fuze variant sets for US HTP and non-HTP bombs Mk-20/CBU-99. Improved bombsight accuracy. Please note that using FMU-140 in low-altitude horizontal flight bombing runs will lead to poor accuracy - in these cases Mk 339 fuze must be used. FMU-140 should provide acceptable accuracy in dive bombing runs and, in specific conditions, in horizontal flight bombing runs (function altitude set to ca. 1/3 of release altitude and specific airspeed at release, e.g. function altitude - 3 kft, release altitude - 10 kft, TAS - 580 kts) Mk-20/CBU-99. Fixed Mk 339 fuze function delay being counted down after arming instead of after release BL755. Added fuze function delay options GMLRS. Added animation of rotation of the tail stabilizers block BetAB-500ShP. Improved bombsight accuracy in normal release conditions (release at 500 m altitude) Fixed non-detonation of bombs in certain conditions Fixed IRIS-T missiles constantly switching between command and IR guidance, which caused them to miss. Terrain Engine Tuned lazy loading of 3D models. We already had asynchronous loading in place, and this update adds complementary optimizations to ensure only the models needed in the current situation are loaded. This should slightly improve loading times in both the Mission Editor and mission startup. Voice chat Fixed. Crash on exiting from DCS when the “Pending request” window is open. Launcher Added. Help page with access to FAQ, User support, myReach AI helper, etc. DCS: MiG-29A Fulcrum by Eagle Dynamics First week patch updates: The animations for the cannon trigger and the missile trigger to be swapped. Lock indication is not resetting after lock break. But logic is working correctly and radar stops locking. Air intake louvers animation corrections. Provide lower resolution textures cockpit option CHAFF/FLARE sequence corrections. When repairing after a wheels up landing, the repair completes, but the landing gear is not lowered, so after repair you are dropped back on your belly, negating the repair. IFF issues for clients connected to the mission hosted on a dedicated server. Single Player or Self-hosted servers do not have this issue. Controls Indicator overlay (RCTRL+ENTER) missing 3D model damage WIP (first iteration) Additional English HUD/HDD version (fictional for convenience) Known issues to be patched: Autopilot-induced oscillations, mostly visual on stick, no effect on flight path below 600 KpH Landing/taxi lights issues - the light from penetrates into the model. Brake chute is not visible for other clients in multiplayer, physics working correctly When using FCR, missile launch is not blocked in the absence of a LA signal on the HUD/HDD. Ejection sequence and animation improvements. Cannon muzzle flash improvement Ejected cartridge animation The logic of the CAJ (Compensation Active Jammer) switch is not implemented when working with jamming. Imperial units cockpit version IAS indicator animation issue with Mach number. 3D models enhancements in progress: Finalization of the main texture, wear and tear. Technical inscriptions and stencils. Main landing gear bay high detail. Detailing of the air brake and the drag chute container. Main technical hatches and equipment bays. Detailing of the IRST. Detailing of the Flare/Chaff dispenser. Ejection seat details. 3D model damage improvements Additional LODs for 3D model FLIR texture. Additional liveries of countries that were operating MiG-29A. Livery template. (planned for October) Improved weapons pylons. Dynamic reflections on the canopy. Improved pilot model. DCS: NS430 Navigation system by Eagle Dynamics Added. Support for all available maps The device starts as powered on and switched to the map display on a hot start DCS: F-16C Viper by Eagle Dynamics Fixed: Emergency jettison does not remember master mode when done in A-G and resets to NAV. Fixed: Duplicating Thrust axes on the VPC Throttle MT-50CM3 joystick. Fixed: Bullseye text on FCR format appears blurry. Fixed: Landing Gear Handle light should illuminate when landing gear doors are in transit. Fixed: ECM pod continues to emit in Mode 3 if switched to Mode 1 or 2. Fixed: AI - Doesn't seem to be able to use new ATP. Fixed: AGM-65 WPN rdr cursor slew inputs below 5% do not move maverick seeker. Fixed: HTS/HAD overlapping emitters causes major/minor axis error and azimuth to rapidly change between values. Fixed: Missing HOTAS AG Gun Strafe Toggle. Fixed: AN/AAQ-33 ATP A-A TGP stops following radar track after bugging target in TWS. DCS: F/A-18C Hornet by Eagle Dynamics Fixed: Odd target designation/undesignation behavior due to MSI. Fixed: Center pylon mounted LITENING will continue to work if jettisoned. Fixed: Radar Contributed SURV tracks in TWS do not switch to full size HAFU's, enveloped by the radar circle. Fixed: The HAFU tracks start interfering with each other for the same target and sometimes doesn't even show that it's an L&S or DT2 target even though it is. Fixed: JDAM with FMU-152 Wrong EFUZ options. Fixed: Countermeasures. 4 chaff instead of 2 in Bypass mode. Fixed: MSI AIM-120C launches cause huge desync. Fixed: (AI) - In a group, wingman will never engage targets. Fixed: TWS switching between targets without MSI - NWS/undesignate. Fixed: No longer possible to lock target with TDC depress in RWS mode. Issue remains with LTWS disabled, will be fully fixed next patch. Fixed: AIM-9 quiet seeker uncage tone sometimes. Fixed: BST and HACQ range can be increased to 40nm. Fixed: Closing velocity (Vc) on RDR ATTK display is misplaced at the bottom for any case other than STT. Fixed: MSI - L&S and DT2 do not get deleted upon entering ACM mode. DCS: AH-64D by Eagle Dynamics Fixed: George stuck on a search loop under a certain flow. FM. Tweaked Yaw SCAS: Some users complained about excessive yaw-wobble during control by pedals and in transient modes when the helicopter's SCAS Heading Hold mode is ON. DCS: Mi-24P Hind by Eagle Dynamics Fixed Glitched texture blocks that were obstructing side gunner view DCS: Mi-8MTV2 Magnificent Eight by Eagle Dynamics Board numbers disappeared - fixed DCS: F4U-1D Corsair by Magnitude 3 Added three Royal New Zealand Air Force liveries.

INS drift under different align qualities DCS: AJS-37 Viggen by Heatblur Simulations NEW and overhauled Electric System NEW warnings and failures Electrics Hydraulics Autopilot AFK Reverser Changes to the RWR Updated database to be closer to the F-4’s Fixed radar carrier freq. not being set (ELINT file now has the emitter band set correctly) KB’s automatic mode works again. Added full fidelity MiG-29 to RWR library Added logic for the breakers ADI aligns to magnetic heading (+ deviation correction set) on the ground and if the fast erect button is pressed. Calibrated to true heading on rotation (based on stored runway heading) Added warning flag logic to air speed indicator and altimeter (LDOK) Cartridge loading now requires being on the ground and in BER Airbrake will slowly close from the airflow if hydraulic pressure is lost in Syst. 1 RAT failure when extended happens at much lower air speeds (>700 km/h) Added AC-DC rectifier failure Implemented a fix for “rough search” on reciprocal runways Fixed the “BANA line” hiding Fixed RR/ANF “cross” on CI stuck on screen Temperature measuring logic has been improved Flood lighting is now on during cold starts Implemented a random start position for the ADI Fixed kneeboard WP names Backup heading now shows raw magnetic heading, without declination correction Fixed HUD/ADI commands being stuck to U point Added logic to unselect U point (Safety unsafe or ANF selected) U point can now be reselected after having been overflown Timeline and compass now shows in LowNav mode when <40s from U WP Fixed RB-24 and RB-74 (Sidewinders) not locking anymore Setting rb15 ToT now only requires pressing BX button (without needing to press 8 as well) Updated rb15 ToT calculations FÄLLDLAST now illuminates on light test Added variable indicator light brightness Added instrument backup lighting Added instrument fault indications Distance Fuel Speed Altimeter ADI Pitch trim Corrected RUTA display Circle now shows R point location – it moves between them on “WP change” when drawn Line now alternates pointing toward previous and next RUTA WP Only draws R points that are “in order” (ie. with R1,2,3,4 all 4 are shown, but with R1,2,3,5 only 1 to 3 are) Changes to “Destination presentation” when a R WP is selected AoA indicator shows aircraft pitch on the ground Changed yaw Trim switch hint from “Emergency Yaw Trim” to “Yaw Trim” Updated the manual DCS: Iraq Map by Eagle Dynamics Added new airfields Al-Kut Airport.

This is a Garmin GNS-530 radio/gps @Hayds_93 and I have been working on for literally no reason other than I like it and I make him work on it. Right now we have it in a stupid little general aviation sfm mod that will never see the light of day. We share these pics around the mod developers discord server, but thought it would be fun to show it off a little here. I know theres a few mods out there (probably not on this forum yet) that could definitely use a GNS-530. The eventual goal is to get this as a modular as possible so all the mod maker need is to drop the files in do a little linkage and add the 3d model. Yes i know ED's 430 exist, and I was surprised to hear they are still supporting it for the Mig29 it some capacity, but I plan for this to be a little more accurate than it. We also have AIRAC waypoints from Navigraph, unfortunately the database they provide for development isn't in any DCS map, but all the fixes youd expect to find in Central America/carribean are here there.

Or maybe not...

I wonder about the C-130! My daughter is ready to be my co-pilot! Or is it still a ways out?

Дались вам эти текстуры. Важнее всего флайт модель, алгоритмы поведения ЛА, влияние среды (хаха три раза) и и тп. Они о красивостях спорят. Лет шесть назад, разработчики на этом форуме говорили о том, что моделирование атмосферы будет продолжено (термики и прочее), и где это все? Сферический конь в вакууме, имитирующий поведение реального ЛА по таблицам с приближенной аппроксимацией. Я приобрел этот модуль, т.к. ждал его 10 лет. Но, уверен, восторгов не будет, как и обратной связи от разработчиков. Впрочем, это лучшее что есть на рынке в настоящее время.

Dear @NineLine, could you give some information about this topic? I don´t own Gazelle or Kiowa but I am getting quite concerned about investing my money in 3. party modules seeing them dropping like flies. # StrikeEagle

Why so frustrated. Go get a life, it would really suit you. No need to come at everyone. There are other more pleasant things in life in case you didn't know.

And a short video introducing the RF-101B Voodoo, which will hopefully land in Vietnam War Vessels 2.1.0:

Реалистичности в симуляторе добиться в принципе не возможно , но подобия- вполне. Все эти нравится, не нравится - исключительно субъективны. Я провел много времени и в кабинах и в симуляторах и тренажерах и какое то понимание за эти годы как оно должно быть все таки сложилось , но опять же субъективное , я не претендую на исключительность последней инстанции в вопросах восприятия . Но точно могу сказать , что некоторые элементы и этапы можно воссоздать максимально приближенными к реальности , а некоторые не возможно вообще. В частности я стараюсь избегать или пропускать миссии где есть ближние маневренные воздушные бои , потому что с реальным боем и с боем в симуляторе тут нет ничего общего от слова СОВСЕМ .

Patch notes will release just before the patch goes live, planned for tomorrow the 17th

Let me fly the Mig29 atleast a month ...then the C-130

Check out their section in the forums they're currently shooting for the October update and are confident in it, any push to November would be due to reasons beyond their control. Someone (their CEO) said October is the goal, November worst case.

im supeeerrrr hoping we get to see HB's A6E Intruder AI asset!! i've been waiting years for this moment (really hope sooo)

Hi all, I have passed on your concerns, with that said please ensure feedback posts here keep to the rules.

Not sure if its been mentioned here but on the discord we've kinda talked about it a bit publicly: we are finalizing an AI release so that we can get it out into mission maker hands

Hello, In spite that many systems are not fully modeled, I found that it was possible to edit a fairly complete Cold Start training mission, like this: If you want to try the mission yourself (requires the Modern Marianas Map), here is a download link: F-104C - Training - M01 Cold Start (by Rudel_chw).miz I will next edit a Taxi & Take-Off follow up mission, and then a VFR landing one, to get a proper training set. If you find a bug with the mission, please let me know here and I will do my best to fix it.

I finally got around to flying it and having some fun. Thanks for another great upgrade (after all this time!). It's really nice to return to the UH-60L after all this time and see such cool changes. The crew (though quite mysterious ;)) looks really good now (at least Kiowa level), and is also visible in VR. It's also visible externally. Also, the rotor animation is finally very good, along with the blur effect, but I actually like this effect and it's great that it was improved. As for the interior, I only feel (and this is more noticeable in VR) that the Collective grip itself is too large. I have a copy of the Virpil, and the head itself isn't as large as the model's in relation to the hand. I feel the scale here is too large. Generally, the grip head protrudes only slightly beyond the palm and fingers when held. And if it would be possible to slightly improve the modeling of the door from the inside and a better texture here: But it's still great work! I also really like the new interior window effect; it gives a better perspective and you can see the reflections, which shows that we have something there (and with some mods I always get the impression that there are frames without windows). Congratulations! I'm looking forward to playing with the UH-60L more, although I'm waiting for the MiG-29A.

closing rad flaps worked. thanks.

I'm honored guys, thank you!

I know, but beginning with the cold start seemed like a more logical approach.

this has been reported to the team. thank you

from the instructions: "I have uploaded a backup archive of the mod to the same location. Simply extract it to your Saved Games/DCS folder." because there is people that still places user mods within the DCS folder itself?

Сталь, алюминий, бакелит и пластик покрашенный одной и той же черной масляной краской выглядят по разному потому что дают разную реакцию на свет - отражение, поглощение, у пластика подповерхностное рассеивание. Physics Based Rendering не просто так так называется. Иногда ходожники забывают о разнице реальных материалов прототипа и бросают один материал игрового движка на поверхности из разных металлов. Например бывает бросают 1 рафмет на приборку(которая из листа алюминия) и безели и циферблаты приборов(из стали). Когда это правится, кабина становится "живее" и "объемнее" при тех же текстурах что были.

On September 12, 1988, a group of MiG-23MLD from the 120th Fighter Aviation Regiment took off to strike targets in the Kunar River valley east of Asadabad. The Pakistanis were showing increasing activity, and the pilots repeatedly reported "visual contact" with F-16s escorting the strike groups from their side. The tension was literally hanging in the air, which erupted that day into an open clash. Gathering over a prominent landmark (Surubi Lake), the group headed toward the border. Two pairs of cover had gone ahead there in advance: the targets were right at the border strip, which is why two pairs of cover were assigned. Over the mountain range 50 km northwest of the attack site, the patrol zone was occupied by fighters of the commander, Lieutenant Colonel Sergey Bunin, and his political officer, Major Nikolay Golosienko, while Major Semyon Petkov and Senior Lieutenant Vladimir Danchenkov were located 40 km to the south. However, the F-16s, attracted by their appearance, were already in the air: from the Kamra base, a pair of fighters led by Lieutenant Khalid Mahmud from the 14th Squadron of the Pakistan Air Force took off, following the MiGs on a parallel course. Within minutes, they were informed from the ground that a column of aircraft had appeared in the air — a strike group was approaching the target. Over Kunar, it turned north, taking a combat course along the border. When the strike group formed a column to approach the target, it was only a few kilometers from the border, which the enemy took advantage of. The cover had gone quite far, and nothing prevented Khalid from reaching the middle of the stretched-out target. The closest to him was a MiG-23MLD (board number 55) of Captain Sergey Privalov, the outermost in the bearing of the second flight. Emerging 13 km from him out of thick clouds, Khalid heard his radiation warning station beep: the MiGs loitering a few minutes away were turning toward him. This was not part of the Pakistani pilot's plan. He began to maneuver, hastily firing two AIM-9L missiles from a half-roll with a 135° bank and exited the fight upside down 1500 m from the attacked MiGs. One missile went far off to the side, but the second Sidewinder exploded over Privalov's plane, showering it with fragments. The shock was severe; the pilot felt a strong impact, even his feet were knocked off the pedals. A large fragment entered the rear cockpit compartment half a meter from his head, the others slashed the flap and left wing panel, piercing the fuel tank box. A whitish trail of fuel trailed behind the plane, but after the initial shock, the pilot confirmed the plane was not on fire, remained airborne, and responded to controls. Both pairs of cover rushed to the scene at full afterburner, and shouts and curses rose on the radio. The Pakistani pilot faced serious trouble — the firing range of the R-24R missiles was enough to hit him even before the border, and on the ground, someone even shouted: "Let me shoot him down!" However, the score could not be evened — the command post ordered everyone to urgently withdraw, fearing a fight over a remote area where the situation was unfavorable: the enemy could bring in new forces, and the MiGs had limited fuel reserves. The Pakistanis had all the advantages here, from numerical superiority to tactical situation, and an open clash with a neighboring state on the eve of the long-awaited ceasefire was undesirable. After dropping bombs, Privalov turned homeward, followed by the rest of the group. Bunin and Golosienko closed the formation, and then a pair of F-16s appeared again from behind. The Pakistanis followed, intending to shoot down the MiGs in pursuit, but they could not catch up: setting their wings to maximum sweep, they accelerated to the speed of sound on afterburner (although with an external tank there was a limit of M=0.8). Approaching Bagram, the damaged MiG was allowed to go ahead to land first. It had almost no fuel left: judging by the fuel gauge, the plane had already lost 1200 liters of kerosene. Leaving a wet trail on the concrete, the fighter taxied to the parking area, where the leak stopped immediately after the engine was shut down — the fuel was gone. Petkov, who landed next, got out of the plane and angrily slammed his helmet on the concrete: "Damn them..! I had that bastard in my sights!". Source: "The Hot Sky of Afghanistan" Viktor Markovsky

I already lost my favourite aircraft, the Mirage-2000 and now i'm loosing my favourite helicopter. It really breaks my heart to see what's happening to DCS. I hope this situation gets resolved soon.

Ну, если хорошенько поискать...

Yes DCS and everything else looks fantastic on an OLED. I gotta say DCS is rather dated and doesn’t exploit what a screen like this can really do like HDR but it’s still the best this game can look. I was curious about burn-in too but there are pixel shifting and cleaning feature which seem to negate this. I use mine for working at home full time as well as gaming and haven’t seen any sort of damage from three years of continual use.

This entirely. The fact that the next step up is honestly something like a Pimax Crystal Super says a lot. A DP headset with dynamic foveated rendering, a wide field of view and acceptable sharpness for the money is a great deal, and makes the PSVR2 a good choice for people who want to enjoy VR in DCS and don’t feel prepared to drop large amounts of money just yet. As PS5 users get sick of the lack of new content it might lead to some good used deals as well. The QP is a good option for some other aspects. It undoubtably provides a somewhat sharper cockpit (the full RGB stripe display means that while the resolution is slightly lower each pixel has independent sub pixels unlike the pentile arrangement) at equivalent resolutions to the PSVR2, however the trade off is that with compression you get less detail in the distance and compression artefacts. The more you increase the bitrate, use encoding like HEVC 10bit or double pass encoding the more overhead there is and the less the benefit of being able to get away with less supersampling helps. I also find the eye tracking more accurate in the PSVR2, in the QP I will frequently look into the region that is low resolution before it catches up, that basically never happens in the PSVR2. Ultimately I think before the introduction of DFR the PSVR2 was a tough ask for DCS. You needed to pump so many pixels that it was tough to run without making major sacrifices. Now with combining DFR and DLSS with the transformer model the performance to run 90fps+ at high supersampled resolutions is there for those with high end systems.

I haven't checked your trackfile, but I suspect you have your radiator flaps fully open (hot starts begin with them in this position), so as you fly your engine quickly cools below minimum operating temperature, gets damaged and seizes. This ties in with you saying the flight was in freezing conditions. The Anton is extremely difficult to overheat, so suggest you fully close the radiator flaps (detailed in part 7 of Chucks guide here: https://chucksguides.com/aircraft/dcs/fw190-a8/ ). I only ever open them on hot maps, and then only by one turn of the handle. Hope this helps and hope you're enjoying the Anton - it's my favourite DCS warbird

Hello everyone, The 2.0 update for the UH-60L Black Hawk mod is now available on Patreon to all: https://www.patreon.com/posts/uh60l-mod-2-0-138859868 Please read the instructions in the post carefully! I will be updating the Discord server to include a bug tracking section for any issues encountered. Please note the ED forums are not a helpful place to report issues regarding the mod; issues tend to get lost in the noise. I hope you all enjoy the update.

Indeed! This image says that the chance of leaving tomorrow is 99.99%, but there is always that 00.01% chance of not leaving. I can't wait to fly the MiG-29A tomorrow.

That is on the list. I remember it being suggested somewhere om the forum before as well[emoji106]

Sure, you should do the same with F-16, F-18 and so on, with metric sytem, because imperial system is so .... well, obsolete, outdated, it would be more confortable for me, but for now i try to avoid all planes with imperial system.

HDMI 120HZ That's a little downside to using a TV. The panel is the same or even better, but you lack some of the monitor specific features, like DP or auto-off with PC shuttdown. A Trade-Off that is worth it for me, but perhaps not for everyone. My recommendation would be to buy an decent OLED TV from last season or even the season before for a huge discount. Just make sure you have at least HDMI 2.1 120Hz and G-sync-compatibility.

That would change the language of the user interface of the software, not the module buddy. Only time will tell. I mean, did they even have Natasha in German?

Can someone lobby it into DCS core like CH assets? [emoji848] Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk

Thanks for the interest. I'm still working on it, but pretty soon.

Well I am certainly happy to make an update video on the new version when it comes. I asked above regarding a timeframe for v1.2 release and heard no response so didn't see any point in putting off making a video about the current version since I don't know if we need to wait 2 weeks or 2 years.
