PLAAF

I have checked out the link you posted. Your software isn't new. We have the same files. The same size same creation date etc. There are other issues too regarding the software. Noticed that some buttons in this picture appeared to be pressed down. That means the software is not sending the "press-and-release" signal, but the "press-and-hold" signal.

Thanks. But no need, didn't you say FPM and HSM still won't work? Also, as I mentioned before: So I am going to wait until they make the new software where we can map the key ourselves.

For me, the knobs are sluggish only when I use the software without the key mapping. They work fine with keymapping without the software. And my comment above was only for the UFCP. I haven't purchased the monitors yet. So I can't comment on what you said about the monitor. That's exactly what I suggested in my comment above. I also sent them text messages and they told me that they are going to do that later. So only the FPM and HSM buttons are not working for you when the software is activated? That's odd. Because they work for me. But numbers 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0, return and one of the arrow keys aren't.

I purchased the UFCP recently. I like the overall quality but the software needs an update. Because currently, it is not working properly. The device needs its software to synchronise its display with the corresponding display in the game. This software also dictates all of its button functions. So basically, once the software is activated, you don't need to map your buttons, the device will automatically function as intended when you play JF-17......in theory. The software may have been designed to search the corresponding values in the game, and that is how their buttons work without mapping them. But the issue is that the values for controls have been changed quite a few times. I am sure some of you still remember there were times we had to remap some of our keys and buttons after an update. And that's what's causing the problem. When I first received the UFCP, I didn't know this and had mapped all of its buttons. And that caused conflict between the software and my key mapping. Every time when I press a button, it will get double-tabbed. For example, when I tried to enter the coordinates 44'12"22, I will get 44'44"11 instead. After trying to correct it a few times, the conflict between the software and the key mapping will be so great that it will get what I called a "software crash" and when that happens, some buttons will lose their function. But the issue is, no matter how you restart the game or the computer, those buttons which lose their function will NOT work again. Why? Because the crashed software is still in its crashed state. Please see the picture below. Note the display is still on even after I turned off the computer. Because of this, the software inside the device is still on. So the only thing you can do to reset the software is to completely shut off the power of the computer. Turn off the power source. Only then, the UFCP will not be able to receive any power and be shut down. And after a restart, everything will be reset. Some of you may want to ask, why not just clear all key mapping and just rely on the software? As I mentioned above, the controls of JF-17 have been changed a few times and some of them no longer have their original value therefore, many of the buttons won't work. Secondly, there are some buttons on the UFCP never had any functions in real life and we as players would like to map them for our convenience. For example, the button on the right side of the number "0"; the buttons below function buttons "A/P" and "FPM". I have contacted the company "Wefly" and their representatives promised that they are going to update the software. The new software will only be used to synchronise the display and leave all buttons alone, returning the key mapping decisions to us players. But it may be a while. So currently, I can only play it without the software thus, without a synchronised display.

Read this and you will understand why some people found that "scary".

Any chance we can get the Seafire? It has very much the same cockpit and a very similar flight model.

Wow. Thanks, Wyvern. Any chance you can fix the control for MiG-21? There are so many commands in MiG-21 that cannot be mapped to a device.

HUD contrast control is missing. Please see the picture attached. You can only decrease the contrast but can't increase it.

Yep, that would also be a great idea

Not just the MiG-19, I hope we can have the upcoming MiG-17 in the campaign too.

Nice job. Can you send me a copy too, please? Edit: How did you pay to get those? You need a Chinese bank account to download them. Secondly, I didn't see any reference to KLJ-1 or APG-66. It appears to be some design criteria and standardisations for the fire control system of J-8III, not J-8F. I haven't opened my WeChat wallet system so I can't pay for it. Therefore I can only read the second file. As for the first file, I can only read the first half. If you have already paid and downloaded it, please share

Wow, you guys really put a lot of work into this module. I just saw the news of the update. Looks very promising. One quick question, are we going to get the "dissymmetry of lift" in this new update?

Quite a few people have posted many photos showing the finished PP prototype. So what's your problem? J-8PP is a variant of J-8II. J-8II is a series of aircraft. Just like F-16 have A,B,C,D,E,F, SFW, XL, X, VISTA. etc. Unsuitable? Says who? To whom? Unless you have the majority of ED's share, I doubt it is up to you to decide whether a plane is suitable for DCS. Right now, we are looking at you VS. so many people who want to have it in the game. If you don't like prototypes in DCS, then my best suggestion for you is "don't play". If I remember correctly IL-2: 1946 had so many prototypes, but everyone loved them. So once again, you are not the majority. Really? I assume you had a poll and have literally asked everyone in the DCS community about their opinions on F-20. Because I don't remember you asked me. Torbenite, did he ever ask you that question? If you haven't done a poll, how can you even claim the entire DCS community doesn't want F-20? What give you the right to represent the entire DCS community? Have you tried to ask for an F-16XL or F-15SE? I would be happy to make a purchase of those. So stop forcing your definitions onto the DCS community. The world doesn't revolve around your preferences. You are not the director of our lives and we are not actors you hired to act out of your "perfect rule" for a "perfect DCS". We don't like your script and will certainly not follow it. Plus, what did you mean by "This module is definitively inconsistent with the core purpose of DCS."?? What is DCS's "core purpose?? I don't remember ED ever defining it. Or is this just another one of your fantasies?

I just want to point out how good the art was back then. Every frame was a delicate hand-drawn art piece. It's like one of those wall paintings from Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes。 Not like the cartoon we have nowadays. That super Saiyan Broly movie is just awful. It was a cheap computer drawing in a cartoon for kindergarten kids.

Would You like to see some old Chinese cartoons before the opening-up policy? Those had no foreign influence at all.

One thing at a time I agree with you. They do need to be a module. So does Tu-2 and everything in that list

(Continue with my last comment) Also, take a look at this. Everyone else made a fan in the air intake, but in MiG-19....... we got a whiteboard.

lol, talking about prejudices.

Yep, I did get the irony when you said that, and I am not the only one. Who is the mod? When is he in the conversation? Wait, did you just add random things into this conversation to derail the attention from your weak arguments? Since when is this "mod" guy ever in our conversation? Edit: one of my Western friends just told me that the mod is short for "moderator". Sorry, that's the embarrassment on my side.

I didn't assume anything. You showed us your prejudices and intention with your self-contradictory comments. But still, good to know you don't intend to continue the pointless ranting.

What's wrong with that? I was trying to simplify things when I said that. I doubt you will be happy if I really go into the detail of the EAST technology. But at the same time, I doubt you did NOT know I was trying to simplify things. So what are you trying to do here? This shows your mindset and motive. You already made up your mind that China must be "inferior". Then there is no necessity to continue this conversation. It's not my business how people portrait China in their fantasies. I often have this fantasy that Tifa Lockhart is my girlfriend, but unfortunately, no one cares. Hahaha. "Questionable"? lol so you imply that China "steal" them from West, right? So can you explain to me why Chinese-made EAST is more than five times better than the ones made in the West? So China steal the knowledge from the west, and made something so much better than the west can make using the very same knowledge? This is getting pathetic. So let me get this straight. What you are trying to say is that Western people are five times stupider than Chinese people because, using the same knowledge, they can only produce something 20% of the Chinese standard. My gush, that's just rude. So what was the point to bring up this point to begin with again? o_O? I don't even want to reply to this. Since this is so laughable. Anyone who is ever bothered to leave the US and see the world would probably tell you how much the world is not like what they have been portrayed by the CNN or whatever. hahahahaha. Not to mention that the link I showed to you was the official announcement. How is that "secretive"? lol

I have never said such a thing. What make you think that? As you have probably noticed, I only take things from credible sources. And even in my previous reply to you, I have admitted the fact that China is currently behind the US in 7nm chip technology. EAST is just one aspect of China that has been ahead of the West, but not the only aspect. That's Russia. China is not Russia, and Russia is not China. Do you know if F-22 is any good? So far, the only confirmed kill of F-22 ever made is a Chinese weather balloon.....sorry, I meant a "spy balloon", and that was such a fair fight need I remind you. Hi, F-2. I can't see anything in the file you uploaded. Every time when I open it, it shows me nothing but white backgound and a small window pop up telling me to download some "font" so it can display it. And after I press "download" button, nothing happened. Do you have it in other format?

Why cant they implement new things and standards on the Gazelle, a module that is already made first, then implement them to Kiowa?

Thanks for the info. I hope they can spend some time to complete this module first before moving on the next.

I agree with you. This is just a youtube video; however creditable the creator may be, it is not an official announcement. But still, I doubt it would be too long. A few years ago, I had the same hesitation as you. Man, but in the past few years, after witnessing all the breakthroughs my countrymen have achieved, I am no longer surprised by anything they say. Besides, China does have a tendency to achieve whatever the external powers are trying to boycott or block throughout history. Things like nuclear weapons, 4th gen fighters, 5th gen fighters, etc... are all developed after world powers set up a technology blockade on China. I guess that's because of our Confucianistic culture. We tend to treat those external blockages or threats as a source of energy that spurs on us for self-improvement. That's why last year when Biden said that they were going to set up a tech blockade of 7nm chip tech on China, all of us had a celebration instead of anger. You should know that Chinese technology wasn't that far behind them to begin with. I remember it was about 20 years ago I had an opportunity to chat with an engineer in an aircraft design bureau. He told me at that time, "Don't be self-abased. We currently can make something like F-22 that the US has. The difference between us and the US is not that they have those techs, and we don't. The only difference is the level of maturity of those technologies. They (the US) can mass produce F-22 at the cost of about $100 million per aircraft. In contrast, we have to handcraft them at the cost of probably more than $1 billion per plane, maybe more. This explains your point perfectly. Think about it. When China was replicating the Soviet engine, I assume that you referred to the engine of the Su-35. At the time, China tried to develop their own thrust-vectoring engine. But this new type of engine has moving parts at its nozzle, which kept getting melted. So China imported Su-35, trying to see what's Russia's solution to this problem. But the issue is, at the time, China was already ahead of everyone else in the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) technology. The material used could withstand the power of the sun for 101 seconds. It was better than anyone else in the world. The second place was Germany, I think. Why didn't we use the material in EAST on the WS-15 engine at the time? If we had done so, the problem would have been easily solved. But you should know that the material used in the EAST costs trillions. By the way, just as we speak, two days ago, on the 21:00, 12th of April, 2023, China further broke the record. Now our EAST can withstand nuclear fusion for 403 seconds, further enlarging the gap between China and the West. Our entire nation rejoiced. Here, have a read. This time, it's an official announcement. http://www.news.cn/tech/2023-04/13/c_1129517477.htm
