The way I have always understood the small engine RPM dial to work (and how it works in the Heatblur F-4) is that each complete revolution of the small dial is 10%. It simply makes setting a specific RPM easier as the marks on the main dial between 80-90 or 90-100 are in 2% increments, whereas with the small dial you can select a speed accurate to a 1/2 of a percent. If there was ever a need....

I believe the bleed air for the flaps cuts out below ~82-83%....

I can also confirm the roll axis instability. If the aircraft is tending to roll left it takes a good bit of right stick deflection to get it back toward neutral but as soon as it reaches a level/neutral roll position that right stick deflection pushes it past level and into a right roll. It's like trying to balance a basketball on your pinky finger.

Can we get a version of the previous mod with the 104G and NF-104 that will live side by side with the 104C standalone? If I activate both I get all sorts of issues.

Thanks!

I want some of the manual pages available on the kneeboard, I converted those pages to .PNG but where do I put them?

I guess not.

Is it possible in Mission Editor or elsewhere to disable the ability for anyone in a given mission to enter the "HUD Only" ("Left Alt + F1" in the F-18, F-16, F-4, F-5 and others I'm sure) view? Thanks.

My issue with the mirrors is that they are too reflective / shiny in the "off" mode. I usually fly all aircraft with mirrors off, but the F-4 I turn them on because they are less distracting that way than the shiny glare of the mirrors when off.

A strange think happened while flying to Indian Springs. At some point, I believe it was right after the USAF F-4 departed, Jester started saying "He's at ten o'clock" and I realize he's referring to my leader. He keeps doing this, I move to the left side and he's calling him out at 2 o'clock. I get on his 6 and Jest start telling me "Shoot him!". I had to bring up the Jester wheel and tell him to go silent.

It seems as if he doesn't know how to operate the aspect or closure rate settings. IF he were hearing AWAC's calls, like I am, he should be able to deduce what aspect/closure settings to use.

Does Jester hear AWACS calls? If not, why not? If so why doesn't he use that BDA info to know where to steer the radar and concentrate his search? If he already does that, why can't he lock that MiG I can SEE at 15 miles... 10 miles... 5 miles.. oh well I'm switching to heaters. That is my biggest problem with F4 Jester, he is next to useless as a (Navy term, but fits best) "Radar Intercept Officer" most of the time. The Jester attempts at humor have grown thin on me already, but I could put up with them IF he were good at his real job. He's not. He fails getting a lock on a head on bandit 75% of the time. And yes, I do get below the bandit altitude so he's not looking into ground clutter.

Yes, I know! That is my problem, since the last patch SteamVR is starting and I don't know why!

But does having the OpenXR extension cause any issue? It did not prior to latest patch, it worked fine. Also, VDXR hasn't changed from pre patch. The patch is when this issue started happening. But I will double check everything in VDXR.

I'm running a Quest 3 via Virtual Desktop, DCS shortcut properties are: "H:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin-mt\DCS.exe" --force_enable_VR--force_OpenXR PC specs below. Prior to latest update I always shut down Steam altogether when running DCS, I didn't use SteamVR and my DCS install is standalone. Since latest patch SteamVR is launching. If I shut it down it closes DCS. Procedure: Start Quest 3, launch Virtual Desktop. Launch DCS via bin-mt/dcs.exe DCS starts and now SteamVR also loads. When I am loading a mission I see a SteamVR specific loading screen that was never there before. What's going on? Also (maybe related) I have a red "1" on the Module Mangers tab in the DCS main menu, I click on it and get what's seen in the attached screenshot. I've had FC3 installed for years but I click "Ok" and DCS restarts, connects to DCS servers, downloads an update and when I restart DCS the red "1" is still there... endless cycle.

After a hundred or so takeoffs in the F-4 this question is becoming real annoying.

I'll be 77.... so I hope it happens sooner

I generally keep all canopy bow mirrors turned off in DCS, but those in the Phantom are very "shiny" when off, the glare off of them is blinding at times. So I have to turn them on which alleviates the problem but costs a few FPS. Would be great if "off" flipped the mirrors up so that they're not creating glare.

Where can I find all of these awesome skins (the released ones anyway)? DCS Files has a few but not all. Thanks.

If you overspeed the aircraft for more than a few seconds you will not be able to restart the engine. R-Shift Home should work otherwise.

My question is will be a discount on the USN/USMC F-4 for those who previously bought the USAF F-4E. I hope so.

Will there be an NF-104 released at any point?

See my video a few posts back, I experienced the exact same thing.

I have numerous purchased high fidelity modules and I understand that FC3 aircraft aren't modeled like the high fidelity modules but I also know that the previous VSN F-105 flight model was much, MUCH better than the present offering. Now if ED did something that makes replicating that previous effort difficult / impossible or if some other difficulty has arisen to prevent making the current 105 FM equal to the previous 105 FM someone should just say so and I will understand, but ignoring the issue is what annoys me. A simple "Yeah, sorry we can't fix that because.." or "Yeah, we know and we're working on it" would suffice.
