For those that can’t remember everything Wags says like me

I'm working on it, there is very limited support in the SSA alpha... I try to get everything running in the alpha by tomorrow... Computer crashed and I'm currently setting everything up again...

If ED gets new info and changes the modeling in 6 months-5 years I expect an extra gift!

Great footage, almost one hour of Bitburg Eagles flying action in and around Bitburg AB, Germany.

Alright...So, figured out what is was. I had a mod in the tech call Wolf. Opening it up it looks like it has some trucks in it. I'll attach a picture below. Obviously there is something in there that disagrees with the game and crashes it. I appreciate all the suggestions for figuring this out y'all!

Thank you for your time and efforts in this.

I encountered a strange issue. One day, I was flying DCS without issue, and the next day, the sim wouldn't start. I'm sharing this to let people know a solution since there has been a change in my Malware protection capabilities. First, to describe the issue, the DCS.exe would be present in the task manager, and you could see it start loading memory. The memory used/loaded was about 106-8.2 MB... When DCS didn't show any CPU activity, I would kill the process and start again. Through the process of elimination, I found that Malwarebytes had an update between when it worked and when it didn't, no splash screen, nothing. The only way to figure out that there was a problem was to watch the boot sequence of DCS in the task manager. The specific setting had to do with Settings -> Protection -> Exploit protection (and the sub item "Block potentially malicious email attachments"). I turned off the Exploit protection in Real-Time Protection. There is no log to attach, as there was almost no log. It got to the login tasks, and that is where it died. I hope this helps someone.

Polly, It's been a while. Would you like to have a drink with me sometime, just to catch up? Orni

so FFB is working correctly now?? excellent. i can try this bird out again

Eh... not all landings are good, especially when after engagement you end up with 1 damaged engine and then you're trying to land on very short runway, adding to problems drag chute when released rips off on release which does not help with breaking and stopping the airplane

Ok, let's see where the issue stems from (extract from the manual): Let's start with LITERALLY the first sentence of this chapter! Read it? Good! Now have a look at your tachometer - 1200RPM right off the bat! Go through the actual procedure, read the manual, and you won't have problems. (I know for a fact, that the engine seizing to work later in the flight is most often the culprit of having improperly warmed up the engine. You ain't the first, and neither the last to experience this.) Another quick note; you don't need to murder the primer pump to start a Daimler. Three strokes are more than enough during what you might call average weather conditions. In winter, you might want to do 4-5 injections are plentiful. How will you know if you primed it enough? Simple, when you pull the starter handle, watch the fuel pressure gauge - 0.8 bar during engine start-up is perfect. Anything below, let go off the starter handle, and stroke it some more. (The manual does state that you might need as many as 15 strokes, but that would have to be a very hard beaten Daimler, stored for years with neglect. You won't need that many.) Yet another note: you move the throttle forward during start-up, which is not needed at all in the BF-109K4. Actually, in order to specifically not go above 600RPM, you should barely nudge it, as in, barely. That will also solve your uncontrolled rolls during start-up.

There are no stupid questions. The DCE settings are not really user friendly ^^. What's more, when you try to add or correct things, it often breaks something else

Best sp campaigns available for dcs imo.

So, just wondering how things progress with trailers. Not the little movie kind, the towed vehicle kind. Quite a while ago ED added a few vehicles that were specifically tractor units. The other day I noticed that quite a few units that are technically trailers, like several AA guns, now appear in the limbered configuration in the encyclopedia at least (even though I believe the QF 3.7" has a few bits the wrong way around, but I might be mistaken). That all leads me to the question: how is the progress on the system and can we expect to have usable trailers anytime soon? How is it going to work in the ME?

bummer this mod seems dead, but going to try out @Kurdes mod

I assumed that is what the thread was about a block 30 in a ODS configuation. I figure Ideal the F-Teens modules should have had 3 maybe 4 variants . An early A, an early C (Desert Storm Configuration), and a late model C (early 2ks variant we have). I get that might not be possible to do the multipack.

Oh, that escaped me. Yes it was fixed in 2020. I guess you did the right thing - you reported it again.

Hi everyone. I'd like to show you what I've come up with. But I want to redesign the throttle control panel in a Mustang style. And add a separate gear for the chassis. By the way, by switching to 24V power supplies, reducing the height of the joystick gear to 215mm, and increasing the size of the large gears to 68 teeth, I got 17 kg on the joystick with a 40 cm handle height!!! And with my old pedals, I got 40 kg!!!

Split back into its own thread. thank you

The PolyChop situation is discussed here. Basically devs left as they were not paid by PolyChop. Time linked to where the discussion starts.

i watched him put it down like a baby and vanished then shot up in the air and around 100 feet in front of chopper

Yes, of course. Wrong wording from my side: I meant with realistic, realistic to obtain and rig a model of a MiG-21F-13 for DCS in due time...

@Wags wait, why is this post in skin wishlist? this has nothing to do with a skin, but with the functionality of the F-16 AG radar modes depending on loadout. nothing to do with a Mig 29 skin...

Whoa! So it's a really old issue (that somehow I've never noticed before ) that had been fixed at some point, but got broken again... Hmm... So, should I add a new comment on this older thread? Or do I keep this thread here open?

How are the tablets set as monitors? It would be helpful to know if they're using something like screendesk to emulate virtual monitors, have natural monitor thingies, or what have you

Also this short YT on how to enable it...

Ok cool. I asked around on the ED discord and seemingly DCS tends to look afteritself pretty well. I'm going to try and change my order.... Thanks so much for the advice man!

Hi, if you wish to report an issue we will need to see a short track replay example that reproduces the issue. thank you

gamebar is installed by default in windows from memory and is trivial to install if not... the x3d is significantly faster ... https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=681cc0e6852335654fa21317524af951debb717139000fa6816e70f89715cdebJmltdHM9MTc1OTUzNjAwMA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=4&fclid=20fa17ed-2fca-61c7-19e9-01b12bca63c4&u=a1L3ZpZGVvcy9yaXZlcnZpZXcvcmVsYXRlZHZpZGVvP3E9OTk1MHgrdnMrOTk1MHgzZCZtaWQ9NTA0NkVFMEEyMUU1RDBDQ0RFRUY1MDQ2RUUwQTIxRTVEMENDREVFRiZGT1JNPVZJUkU

How is that even possible Something like this?:) VID_20250510_170920.mp4

2 weeks ago it flew 100m over my head on full burner for over 10 minutes so I kind of have enough of Rafale for a while. Not that I complain or was in wrong place wrong time - it was totally expected

the x3d only causes problems if you are not using the correct CCD for games, usually this is solved by installing the recommended software ;in this case making sure gamebar is installed... or you can use can use process lasso to manually make sure that DCS is using the right CCD.. e.g. the ones with the 3dvcache

It is known.

Especially due to the fact that the MiG-29A FF can detect it in its SPO-15.

Don't expect much help with this. George AI has been reported repeatedly as inconsistent, at best, multiple times. In any case, if you don't include a track file of what you're talking about happening and including the time mark when it happens (yes, really) you have zero chance of getting a useful response. This has been my experience, and there is still no resolution. At this time, if I feel like flying the Apache solo, I seriously have to weigh whether the inevitable frustration of George not working correctly is worth the effort.

To recreate Rolling Thunder accurately, make sure you have the F-105D Thunderchief (Thud) in your mods, and be sure to lose a lot of them

When we finally get decent flight models for the AI and better AI, I would love to have an option called "Aggressor mode" where the AI tries to mimic another aircraft using the current one selected. This won't be a flight model swap where you are flying against a MiG-21 that looks like an F-5 rather you would have and F-5 with a pilot trying to keep things with in the paramaters of a MiG-21 in as much as possible with an F-5

@Raviar @sleighzy sleighzy's fix is likely the true fix for the issue. you should give sleighzy the solution; while my suggestion was merely a stage in troubleshooting. i still use the launcher on my system. but only to get into the sim. all it does for me is some promotional visuals and delays me getting into the sim. as suggested you can go into that file and revert back to true to test.

Morning everyone! Once I did the .old to saved games it fired up. I'm about to start dropping in mods and missions I've created one at a time to see if I can figure out which mod messed with it.

Oh ffs…. 90% of suffering is pre assumption of stuff that’ll never happen. All of that misery just to earn the chance of a petty “told ‘ya”. Right now it’s working, isn’t it?

In the past it has been a multiplayer-specific issue (and possibly dedicated server only, versus self-host MP). It could be related to how forces on the load/cable are interpolated across packets which would become more critical during the final stage of a descent.

What can we expect from 2026 video?

Our czsk skin

Yeah fair enough, it obviously had a blanking circuit which also blanked other things which worked fine. I.e. radios/IFF etc.

Not a MiG-29 expert in any way but according to the manual: On the front panel of the ISTR4 indicator there is a switch "T-R" [9], to select information about remaining fuel base on direct in-tank measurement or based on flow-measuring calculations of STR system; a switch "TAC. – OPT." [2], change estimated distance indication: for max fuel conservative flight modes "OPT" or for actual flight mode fuel consumption. The ISTR4 scale provides fuel readings in hundreds of kilograms. The estimated distance in EN cockpit in nautical miles So in TAC, is hows you flight distance for regular flight "TAC" or for very conservative flight "OPT". So when in OPT, the distance is greater than in TAC, but you'll have to adjust your way of flying to conserve fuel. I am unaware of which parameters actually constitutes this though in terms of speed, RPM etc.

@-Rudel- So about a month after your last post in this thread, is there anything new to tell about the Taxi Bug? Are the devs working on it, and is there a timeframe when we can expect a fix? Thank you.

As a VR user and owner of "DCS: NS 430 Navigation System", I think it would be a nice feature because currently flat mode is incompatible with VR devices.
