That works! Thank you very much for your time.

Hi there. I'm not a livery expert- far from it. There is this livery that I would like to use, however upon initial download and install, it does not show up in the mission editor. I figured since it was created many DCS versions ago, the file structure changed. I did some file comparisons and made a simple change in the description by adding a "}". It shows up in the mission editor, HOWEVER now the cockpit is all washed out (see attached). Any ideas on how to possibly fix this? Thanks in advance! null

Thanks for this. It has cured my 2.9 MT issues. 2.8 MT was fine. For reference, I have an i9 13900KS. 22 were parked. 2.9 MT (DLSS on or off) was a slideshow. Ran this app and all are unparked. Now, 2.9 MT with DLSS, max settings, fps is 200+ and at times hitting my monitor's max refresh of 240 fps (Samsung NEO G9)

Curious, what does the tag "correct as-is for ofp" mean?

One of the most challenging tasks to accomplish in DCS is air-to-air refueling. In this video we will go over a comprehensive list of tips and techniques that could help you become more proficient and consistent at aerial refueling in DCS.

While landing on runway 7 at Saipan Intl, the NDB (SN) appears unrealistically too tall. Even on glideslope, I would guesstimate that I clear it by no more than 50 feet. Any lower than prescribed glideslope and slightly to the right, it's a definite collision. The 3rd picture below is from Google maps streetview. Anywho, lovely map.

Updated the first post with a new video on TOO Mode.

From ED's Facebook post today: The four runways at North Field were lettered "A", "B", "C" and "D" from north to south and were said to resemble the deck of a busy aircraft carrier. The North Field airbase was the first loading and launching point for the atomic bomb attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. At the end of WWII the base was placed in a standby status and officially closed in March, 1947.

The Mosquito, Apache, Hind and Kiowa offer fantastic potential opportunities for VAICOM like it does for the F-14. I suppose we'll have to see how the crew menu functionality pans out in each module after their release. @Hollywood_315, you've got your work cut out for you! The future is looking bright for DCS!

That and this will be another great opportunity for VAICOM to develop an extension for the Apache like they did for the F-14 AI RIO.

20+ years ago, so many hours in Jane's Longbow/LB2... it has come full circle. The stars are re-aligning. Thank you Eagle Dynamics.

AI RIO Report Just ran across this the other day. Don't know if has been reported. When saying Scan Elevation for use with the Show Messages/Hints Only feature, the on-screen window shows Scan MIDDLE. However, the correct call would be Scan Level.

SteamVR(Steam) just runs in the background while you're in DCS standalone.

What exactly are you having issues with the new G2? For starters, make sure you have the latest Windows 10 build. Windows Mixed Reality Portal will be updated automatically. As for SteamVR- assuming you have Steam installed- look for and install Windows Mixed Reality for Steam VR. SteamVR will allow you to make some resolution and other tweaks for games. Launch Mixed Reality Portal Launch SteamVR. To use VR in DCS, in main menu of DCS, click on the options (gear) icon up top. Then go to the VR tab to the far right. Check the box for Enable Virtual Reality Headset. Check the box for use mouse (recommended) unless you plan to use the hand controllers. Click OK at the bottom right and DCS will restart in VR. Let us know if you need further assistance.

Stepped up from the G1. Overall improvements in several areas. Comfort- better fit. I think longer stints like 2- 4 hours will be more comfortable. Clearer, brighter and better contrast. If there was any screen door effect in the G1, it's basically non-existent in the G2. That's huge. I miss having the 3.5mm jack to use my own earbuds and mic, but the new speakers and mic are a step up. The G2 is a tad heavier than the G1. 500g/1.1 lbs vs 550g/1.2 lbs. The cable to/from the HMD is thinner and less intrusive than the G1. The G2 faceplate is much easier to remove and manage than the G1 which helps with cleaning. Plug and play with existing WMR. Had to tweak SteamVR like everyone above. Can hold a solid 45 fps (like the G1) with motion smoothing on. With smoothing off, it's hovering around 50-70, but that really depends on the map, number of objects, altitude low vs high, # of players (if multiplayer), etc. Although, it's jittery when looking around with smoothing off. Still trying to find that balance. Perhaps somewhere in the the Nvidia control panel.

I really enjoy this new VAICOM extension. A couple of things I have run across: 1) Case II and III arrival notes for Supercarrier are not being written down. 2) When "clearing" the Notes in Dictation Mode, the first line doesn't clear.

@Multiplayer team - thanks for the server. Any chance on changing the frequency of the "Urgent Message!". I believe it flashes every 2 minutes. How about 4 or 5 minutes?

To commemorate my first DCS video 10 years ago today (A-10C Beta), here is a video demonstrating the multiple JDAM attack in the A-10C II Tank Killer. Brush up on mark points, no flight plan creation required. Using the new DLZ (Dynamic Launch Zone) indication in the HUD

Any updates on Iron Flag Training? Will it be compatible for A-10C II?

I just verified it yesterday with 3 runs in OB .50321. Worked for me. Not that I don't believe you. May be a bug? I guess YMMV.

Yeah I fiddled with it a bit more and saw the same thing. Seems the TGP still needs some refining as bugs are being reported. My goal is to provide a TOO multi JDAM procedure with the least amount of buttons pressed. I may redo the video when the dust settles. But for now, my video's procedure works.

Regarding a video I made using TOO with 8 JDAMs: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=273114 In OB x.49798, pressing undesignate didn't snowplow the TGP which was great. x.49798 eventually became Stable. x.50321 now reverts back to original behavior. Everything else works fine apart from some FLIR, DDI and HUD enhancements which don't affect target designation and TOO coordinates management. What I have found that works after releasing the last JDAM is, if you have a waypoint at or near your target area, you can press WPDSG to move the TGP and adjust it from there without compromising JDAM coordinates. And/or use the SA page to slew the cursor at or near the waypoint.

Did a search, but found nothing. I saw Reapers' preview video instructions to taxi to a specific catapult. However, I don't get that on my end. Was it pulled before EA release? Just wondering. Thanks!
