Ok, maybe didn't present my self correctly ,or perhaps posted this in the wrong place ?. I am not sure where to properly search for a wing and proper server for my level of abilities. I can really help someone very new (preferably) , but I can not fly a complicated mission like Spudknocker or down a plane like G. Sidewinder I can not properly at this time effectively communicate a cluttered and complicated battle space ,but I can deal with basic air to air threats seek and destroy them. I can navigate and fly all weather the F16 is my plane because I started with the FREE F16 sim several years ago. I get sketched about a server to randomly pick because next thing you know I am thrown into the hornets nest with no multi player communication experience. (LONE WOLF) Just give me directions please. I can not get a single friend I know personally to give this sim the time of day for the following... -does not own a PC and will never consider $1500 +\- ,and 300 +\- for equipment then spend $60 for the plane. -Could not care less about aviation enough to give a rats *** about spending some time to learn at this depth.

I own: knowledge of avionics top to bottom F16* F18* AV8 F15 A10 I can navigate land in all weather conditions and handle most air to air weapons (I am not very good at combat) and looking for some more casual fun formation/practice flying buddies light combat rolls and share some knowledge and maybe even learn new things my self. I have never played multiplayer and given up on trying recruit friends I know. (They wont play or buy into this sim) and I finally got a mic. I play using console controller ,track IR 5 and mouse keyboard. I am available weekday nights western mountain time. (Arizona) I don't care about how advanced or new you are just understand I am no ace but not completely ignorant to most of the basics. Hope to fly with some real people in a relaxed play style.

I have the cloud jitter as well in 2D ,Track IR 5. If I look around in the cockpit there is a lot of jitter. It's nothing extreme they just shake/vibrate while looking around.

Apreciate it ! Rain 2 works perfect. Immersion is back thank you.

Thanks I will try the 1 and 2 tonight. 3 does work for the Viper though ,but at this point I don't even care I will try anything cause just want to move on with creating my mission outside of weather and time of day lol.

I cannot seem to get a ramp start (F18) on the carrier deck to rain during takeoff. Im fine with static. I figured maybe I needed to adjust placement (a dozen times) with no luck. I have no problem if I use mission genererator however this ends up with a world wide cloud blanket. Summertime 90° Overcast and rain 3 (See attached)

It's like a motion blur (motion blur is off) when turning. Its not a jitter or a lag just the picture gets this wierd blur effect around the out side of the cockpit only while meneuvering. This didnt happen in 2.5.6

I think I figured it out apparently I have to command prompt to change to open beta to have 2.7 under one install. I am kind of hesitant now I downloaded 2.7 (separate install) and had a lot of issues !. beta will have issues but I had lost all sound (not just DCS) could not load or save custom control profiles I could not even fly the jet...

After installing 2.7 (seperate from 2.5.6) My PC had no sound at all. Did not recognize speakers in windows. Could not save missions in editor. Custom controller saves would not load in 2.7 or 2.5.6 I uninstalled 2.7 and all problems fixed.

Every one is saying Start/eagle dynamics/update This says 2.5.6 is already up to date. Idk.. tried going into filer explorer dcs updater as well and this does nothing.

I have been messing with this in editor and pretty annoyed with it. Anyways I guess I could fight some turd aircraft that will take rear aspect only missiles. What I wanted was to fight some 29s,27s,30s, list goes on but I have to try and dodge their 12 o clock shots while I imagined it being merge and get their 6. These aircraft just don't accept Vietnam era IRs (which may be accurate IRL but sucks) I see Growling doing these types of fights with IRs all the time,perhaps he is running some light mods where the enemy isnt getting some cheap 12 O clock launch. It's not that I cant CHAFF\FLARE, turn,merge, then fight the 6 ,but that's not really what I wanted... Guns only is fun,but nothing better than a tough position fight with a couple missed IRs that then turns into a gun kill. I have more fun air refueling than launching AMRAAMs

Thanks for the reply. See I thought the Aim9-X was all aspect And the M was the most basic Bluefor IR missile. I have cjecked with the in game encyclopedia but doesnt dive too much into degrees of capablilty. I know very little of the redfor side missile capabilities.

I'm trying to setup missions with IR missiles that only track from the general 6 o Clock. I know the blue US is the AIM9-M ...but gave the red R60 and they shoot me down face to face prior to the merge. I want a position dogfight not a quick draw.

Thanks I was wondering if AWACS was needed I will add one tonight.

I like to 'create fast missions' then take it to the editor to tweak it. When I have wingman they are not providing data link. I have MIDS turned on I have the DL switch fwrd I have HSD OSB FR set to on I am on the same UHF (not sure what VHF they are using) *Do I need to setup data link to be active in editor ?. *Do I need to enter my wingman in Link 16 P2/P3 of the DED page ?. (They are either shown as 002/003 in briefing. Sorry im not sure where the problem is.
