My dream DCS map, make it so.

So many weird map choices while avoiding the most obvious choice.
truebrit replied to truebrit's topic in DLC Map Wish List
Yeah, that map look more realistic as to what we can have in game. Loads of good Gulf War target there. -
The slime lights have been like this for a while, weeks, months, not sure, just noticed the shadows. I did have tweaks in Nvidia control panel but resetting to default did not fix it.

Hi I just tried this PC app and noticed that the Syria map does not cover the southern part of the DCS map, my plane was off the map. It needs to be extended south, also I'm not sure how much it matters but your map covers a lot more North than the DCS map. Thanks.

Same for me, I notice you can only hear the guns if you are on the same side of the ship as the guns.

The Iraq map I posted above includes those areas of conflict. The Iraq map would have to have the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea for the Super Carriers, that's why the photo I posted goes a little further to the South. -

That seems to be what a lot of people who are not that bothered about Iraq say, they talk about different scenery and as you mentioned lots of new places("airports") to visit. I would have thought that FS2020 would be the game for that rather than DCS. As for training maps I think that would be a waste as you can train all other the world, I'd rather have a theatre of war. Look at what an Iraq map could give DCS. Six Day War / Suez Crisis / Gulf War / Iraq War / Iran-Iraq war as well as many other minor skirmishes(most we already have though). Apart from the fact that this is top of my Wishlist for the next map, I also think it makes the most sense for now. -
Any update on this?

If you can pretend that well then I don't see why you would need ay other map ever in DCS, and why you would have a problem with ED giving us an Iraq map. Like I said before I want Vietnam also, but for an accurate re-creation of the Vietnam war. But I wish that we have maps modules and assets from different era's together, I think that would make sense for the future. Not a big deal, just a wish. I would still play every week anyway. -

If you want Vietnam for the "tropical setting" why not just use Marianas? Or maybe see if someone can fix the Vietnam mod for the Caucasus map. You wanting Vietnam because Marianas is not geed enough to pretend that it's Vietnam is the same reason a lot of people want Iraq. But what planes are you going to fly over Vietnam, not many choices until maybe in a few years time, and then I'll be pre-ordering the lot, but we have so many perfect modules for the Gulf War right now, that should be priority. -

But we can re-create the Gulf War accurately with so many possibilities. I make loads of little missions with all current maps with fictitious scenarios but being able to fly from a Supercarrier from the Red sea or PG and attack deep inside Iraq would be so cool. So many real world missions to recreate. And the modules and assets we have, it's like ED sat down and said "ok lets make loads of Gulf War modules and assets" but they forgot the map lol. -
Before I start, this is not a complaint, I love DCS and think ED and outside developers do amazing work and work very hard for the community, this was evident on the tireless work Mr Wagner put in getting the Apache released, we all know that wasn't easy. And there may be very valid reasons for decisions made by ED and Razbam etc, but some of the content we get I just don't understand, with planes I understand there is a limit on the info to build a module, but anyway... 1. Why the Falklands map? We have no official modules for that theatre. Putting a Sea Harrier skin on an AV-8B and fighting the A-4 Skyhawk mod is not reason enough for me to get excited about this map. 2. Why did they waste time on the Marianas map and subsequent China assets pack. Wouldn't it have made a lot more sense to complete/update the US/British/French assets and start work on a map with a theatre of interest, like maybe Iraq. 3. And now the biggest confusion of all as I just mentioned, Iraq. Why the Syria and Gulf maps instead of Iraq? Most of the jet modules we have in DCS fought in the Gulf war, it is the most recent large scale war, a war that a large percentage of DCS users would have lived through and/or know so much about. Maybe it is the size of the map that held it back for so long? But for me having two maps on either side of Iraq but not the most obvious choice for a DCS map is mental torture lol. If I could go back in time I would suggest ED and Razbam forget Marianas and the Falklands and join forces to make the Iraq map. I love DCS and as an aircraft simulator I am so thankful we have this, but for me a lot of the experience is missing without modules and assets that work together to complete a more immersive environment. So Iraq please Mr Wagner.

Kuwait/Iraq/Iran Map... Most logical next map.

For me having two maps on either side of Iraq but not the most obvious choice for a DCS map is mental torture. For those who say we already have desert maps, then ask for Korea, well don't we have trees and forests in the Caucasus and Marianas lol. But seriously, for me I want to fly historical missions and would love Vietnam, Korea etc but only if we have enough assets and modules for it. We have the Falkland Islands map coming, we have no official modules for that theatre. Putting a Sea Harrier skin on an AV-8B and fighting the A-4 Skyhawk mod is not reason enough for me to get excited about this map. But Iraq would make most sense at this time in DCS. -
Looking for pictures / info on H-3 Airbase 1991
truebrit replied to truebrit's topic in Military and Aviation
Very helpful, thanks. -
I am trying to make a semi realistic Desert Storm mission for the Hornet and would like some idea of what equipment was at H3 and it's sub-stations. Thanks. Here's what I have so far: The Air Power Surveys, here's iv, v and i. The rest are on google, but I think these give the info I am looking for. ADA279744.pdf (dtic.mil) IV Gulf War Air Power Survey - vol V (defense.gov) https://media.defense.gov/2010/Sep/27/2001329802/-1/-1/0/AFD-100927-062.pdf Thanks to Knock-Knock Loads of good detail in the Operation Rooms Desert Storm series. So many missions to be made for the Apache and A-10. Shame we don't have the full Iraq map yet.

I turn the brightness knob and it works but as soon as I release the mouse cursor it goes back to top centre. Did I forget something in start up or is it a bug?
-
He comes to a full stop and hover fine, it's just from then on.
-
When giving the direct to command he acts like he's riding a mechanical bull, I gave the 180 degree command he turned 180 flew backwards for a while then flew into the ground. Also is there a direct command to counter the dir-to command? For now I switch to H-B hold fwd, then release to stop. EDIT: Just flew the scud hunt mission, came to WP03 switch to CP/G George AI pilot kept decreasing altitude so I ordered to increase, he said "increasing altitude" but continued to crash into a tree no matter how much increase I tried.
-
Zoomed in it looks like 1990's graphics, and searching for anything a few kilometres away is near impossible I tweaked the contrast to give a better image but at distance just as hard to find targets. My graphics settings are pretty much all maxed.
-
Same as the input display(RCtrl + Enter), just press it twice. Can't tell you what it all mean though.
-
I have tried setting controls to default but no luck.

Is it possible to trim this aircraft to fly hands off
truebrit replied to truebrit's topic in DCS: Mosquito FB VI
Ya, my eyes are not so good so I need to zoom right in to set the bombs, by then the plane is usually in a dive or inverted. -
I was watching this video from Reflected Simulations where he says it should always be throttle down then rpm, rpm up then throttle. In this tutorial from Eagle Dynamics he does it the other way. I asked Reflected Simulations in the comments about this, he said "They're doing it incorrectly then. It's always: throttle down, then RPM down // RPM up then throttle up, otherwise you risk over boosting the engine. It's true for all aircraft, not just the Mossie." Who is right, and is the possible damage modelled?
