So I understand what your saying about how it will be just like other two seat modules like the F-14. The main difference, only going off what I’ve read and heard in interviews and talks I’ve had with a friend who flew A-6’s in the Marines is, they say the BN had their head down in the (Now I can’t remember the exact verbiage) scope visor(?) The scope had a sun visor around it to block out all the light and the BN would have their head in that tube device for almost the whole flight, taking marks points for navigation and updating the pilots MFD throughout the flight and then making sure they had the target points correct and they plotted out course and course corrections on the scope for the pilot. They weren’t just glancing down at the radar as they flew, they literally had their head down in that scope for most of the flight. So, thats what I was referring to and wondering how it would be implemented or not or maybe a type of hybrid option for DCS. Just curios thats all. To me that doesn’t sound too fun but there are people who like things 100% accurate or real. Thanks, and btw great pictures!

I do remember seeing this before the 2.9 patch and it was right around the time the F15E SE dropped for early access because I remember my friend and I were online in the SE and we Both saw this issue happen. We both thought it was lightning and we were trying to remember if that was a new thing. But I clearly remember seeing this before 2.9!! It seems to happen when the FLIR pod is displayed in the MFD or the HUD and I’ve seen it in the Apache as well as the F15E. Turn off the FLIR or stop iy displaying on the HUD and it goes away. Could someone tell me where those other two files that are being asked for are located? I’ll share them if I can find them. I can recreate this pretty easily now. Does this happen with any of the other modules? I haven’t been able to fly much so haven’t messed around to see if it does. Thanks…

Hey thank you for replying! This is great! Thank you!

Wow! That’s fantastic! The checklist you created looks very good. Thanks for making it and sharing this. Are there instructions on how to install? I’ve never done this. I’ve seen other ones people use but I didn’t know you could put this in the aircraft to use. Does it pop up only in your missions or can it be used at any time or flight? Thank and apologies if these are basic dumb questions. I just normally don’t make changes to the sim but this looks really good and I’d like to utilize it!! Thanks

Just curios, are any of you actual pilots? Have you flown a real airplane & if you have, were any of them high performance jets or even prop planes or Military fighter jets? Have you flown a Mirage F1? Watching this video and comparing what you see then try to copy in the sim is not a very good comparison in my opinion. You cannot see the pilots stick movements, nor can you see what his feet are doing with the rudder! He could be using small rudder inputs to control the yaw of the jet like most pilots do to have a controlled turn etc…. The development guys at Aerges Engineering are speaking to actual F1 pilots to get feedback for the sim and I’m sure they are speaking to engineers or using their data to input in the sim as well. This is still in early access and they are making changes with each patch as well as releasing other variants of this fighter! Personally, I find the Mirage F1EE to handle very well since its release to the public. I use to fly all kinds of various aircraft with my instructor. I was lucky enough to have a instructor who was in charge of Tampa air traffic control & who was friends with all kinds of wonderful pilots and he always grabbed me to help him with different task! We got to transfer aircraft for people who moved or sold their aircraft and we would deliver them. He took me under his wing for some reason & we became good friends! We also got to fly with the CEO of the charter jet company out of Clearwater on all kinds of wonderful aircraft like my favorite Beechcraft King Air & I was very fortunate to be friends with these guys! My point is that if you haven't flown in a high performance military aircraft like the F1 or other kinds of high performance aircraft you can’’t know how they fly or what little inputs pilots do when they fly them. To watch a video and then say the F1 isn’t performing right is ridicules! So far the F1 flies pretty good especially since 2.9 was released and I think it’s come a long way for the better since its first release. It is hard to handle on the ground when taxiing or rolling down the runway but so does the F16! Wait until it is OUT of early release to critique flight performance. If you have actual data comparisons send them to the developer and discuss it with them. In other words let the pro’s do their job. So far I’d say this Mirage F1 is looking good, handles well and is a fantastic bargain! I think they’re the only company that offers 4 different versions for the price of One! Anyway I’m not saying any of this to be mean or sarcastic in any way! I understand what your trying to imply, I just don’t think its a fair or good idea to watch a video and make comparisons to what we have in DCS or how the F1 is or is not doing correctly. I don’t think thats a good idea at all. I Hope that came across okay & please don’t take offense to this, I mean this with all do respect. Thanks

A few pics from various missions flown at various times! This is a fantastic module and you get a good bang for your buck!

Oh! Okay no problem. Just very curios how it will look. Hey on a different note, how are you guys planning on doing the WSO in the A6? Everything ive read about and heard from say they flew with their head down in the scope for almost the whole flight! That will be interesting to see how you guys are going to implement that? Thanks for the reply!

So hey everyone! Super, super excited about the F4E Phantom finally on Pre-order! I had a question/ request, is there any pictures of the rear cockpit? I thought I saw one a while ago but can’t seem to locate. Could someone post a link or a pic of it? I’s appreciate it! Thank you!!

Sorry I didn't have a chance to post this earlier. It happened a lot with this mission in the Sinai map. I did notice it happens more when there is video being displayed either on the TPOD or FLIR on the HUD. Hope this helps. Sorry for the delay!! F15E Flashes 1.trk

I don’t think I have a TRK file for the video I posted. I can see if I can recreate it again. Also I noticed the same flash at night in the Apache with the FLIR enabled while flying. I’m not sure if these the Apache uses the same “code” or tech as in the F15ESE but it sure seems they are having the same issue. Also wanted to add that this happened before 2.9 so I don’t think its new to 2.9 sorry if I said so in the title. A friend and I both saw this during a coop mission we flew when the F15SE was released. We both thought it was lightning until now. The graphics card used is a MSI 4090 and the latest released driver. I will try to send a TRK file if I can recreate it tonight if you still need it. Thanks

Hey I was wondering if this is a F15E SE issue or is it only with certain graphics cards or something else. During Night Flights only with the FLIR on the HUD there are flashes that occur. It looks like lightning but it’s not unless that’s a new feature I didn’t know about. It’s happened to other folks as well because they’ve mentioned it when we flew coop together. They thought it was lightning as well. Here’s a short video of it. Digital Combat Simulator Black Shark 2023.10.20 - 21.13.45.03.mov

So I finally got a video of this happening. It’s a few seconds in but happens throughout the flight. I couldn’t post more than this. Does anyone know what this is? It’s only at night with the FLIR on in the F15ESE. I haven’t noticed this happening on other aircraft. Digital Combat Simulator Black Shark 2023.10.20 - 21.13.45.03.mov

I was wondering if anyone else has seen what I’m going to try to explain. I flew a night mission with a full moon and scattered clouds. While flying I would get these brilliant flashes of light looked like lightning going off. I don’t think it’s lightning and if it is I don’t remember this in the sim before. One thing I did notice is it happens more when the FLIR is up on the HUD. I can’t remember exactly if it happened with the FLIR off the HUD but I don’t believe it did. I’ll have to look again and see. I did see this in the previous release a few times in multiplayer. Has anyone else seen this? Is it a bug or a glitch with the graphics card or something? Thanks I have a RTX4090 with the latest drivers installed, 128G RAM on a Intel 24-Core i9-13900KF Processor

Just messed around a bit with the TFR yesterday. It’s pretty awesome! F15E TFR.mp4

That looks Insane! Very cool. I can’t imagine how hard and tedious this must be! You must have the patients of a saint! Anyway, awesome work and it look fantastic. I really like the bunkers in one of you pics. So far I like the Sinai map more than some of the others. I see great potential in it. I really like all the little details in most of the airbases. Makes a huge difference on the belief of it being more alive! Just add some jets or helicopters, a few trunks etc and it really come alive! Fly at night looks realistic too! Anyway, great stuff! Your project looks really good!

WOW, It really looks fantastic! Glad you guys are doing this, I don't have the patents for this kind of stuff. I'm usually in and out of the ME as fast as I can! I'll fix things up like a FARP or enemy base we are going to bomb but this is a whole nother level. I don't know how you guys do it. It looks super nice though. Will this be something we can dload from the DCS file server or a MOD? If you need a beta tester let me know. I'm always looking for things to keep me busy!!! Thanks

I regards to the heliport and the helos blowing up, it happens almost all the time but in single player on the ME new mission. Not sure what’s causing it but happens frequently.

You need to remember this map is not in release it in Early Access which means it’s not finished and a work in progress. I believe Razbam has posted a graphic that shows the areas that are further along than other areas and how things will be worked on in future patches. Personally I’m having a lot of fun in this map. I like creating screenshots and this map has some of the most beautiful places on it for that. So as time progresses we should see things improve. I know there’s some fixes and upgrades to a lot of the airports and cities that will be patched soon. I’m not sure when though but I’ve heard from various people on YouTube what’s coming.

Personally I’m enjoying the heck out of the South Atlantic map! It was my go to map for a long time until Sinai. There’s just so much really beautiful stuff to see in the SA map. I think people that want a 100% or close visual map shouldn’t purchase things in early access. Early Access means it’s not finished & there will be parts that don’t look the best. Over time those things will be added and corrected until they get up to the 100% finished and polished map for a final Released product. I don’t understand why someone purchases something in Early Access and then complains about it not being complete or up to the standards of some other maps. It’s a work in progress!

I haven’t tried this yet. So please forgive me if this is incorrect but I thought in the WSO keybinds it’s a depress of the switch to get the radar and Tpod to work. I’m not sure if after that’s done if you can then watch what the pilot does from the backseat.

I was wondering what this was in screenshots folder, I think that’s where I saw this. There is a F-15E folder that has a whole bunch of the pics in it. So how are these created and how do we use them once they are created? Thanks…

I was getting small micro stutters with the default setting & this is from a very powerful of running the latest Intel chip and a RTX4090. They weren’t a big deal but it was noticeable. I changed the setting to 8 and they are no longer there or at least I’m not noticing them now.

Do you mean HRM High Resolution Map? If this is what you are referring to then you must offset the radar beam 15-25 degrees. There is a dead spot that goes out the front of the airplane that prohibits you from getting a high res map. So you must offset it. I usually set up a waypoint that’s off from the actual target so I can get a HRM and zoom in to select my target or targets. There’s a few really good videos, like the one Casmo referenced above that show you how to do this. It’s really not that hard once you get your keybinds down and practice a few times!

Even when your flying a small airplane like a Cessna 172 there’s constant noise! In military helicopters it’s also very loud, there always seems to be a type of white noise in your helmet. Also the radio’s are constantly sounding off. Operating an aircraft is noisy! So far the sounds in the SE don’t bother me. It would be nice to be able to tune them up or down to your taste. Personally I’d love to be able to turn that sound down to hear the engines kicking into afterburner. Maybe ED & Razbam will look into something like this. Time will tell.

Haven’t tried it with the SE but i did get the F15C up to 56K and Mach 2.1 with burners and a clean jet. I think you can get it faster but haven’t tried. I’ll have to try the SE later tonight. I’m curious what the top altitude will be. You could probably get it higher without the conformal fuel tanks on it and a clean jet.
