  1. HI I think a few people have asked for this more than once including me! At the moment you can only ask them to engage ground targets or air defences etc. But in the A10 it has an extra menu I think its engage with or something and you can specify the weapon type and direction to attack the target you have for the SPI. I think the wingmen need more AI and they have said they are working on it. But I would probably think asking them to engage a particular target is high priority for some users that like to play CAS and other types of ground attack in the F18 and F16. I have had them taxi into me a few times but not tested it in the latest update. Really wish single player parts of the game would be worked on more! In the F18 you can now see what they have targeted on the data link so the reverse is true for them. Thanks Anthony
  2. Hi I found this video Its old and it looks like its only for the A10 data link. In the video wags is telling the wingmen to attack a particular target he has selected in the litening pod. Can this now be added for the F16 and F18 please? I think maybe the Harrier does not have the datalink for this but you can now see the targets in the SA page for the F18 so the AI should use that to see what target you are requesting they engage. This would make the AI a lot more useful for ground attack missions. I have always thought we should have a command like attack a ground target with a bearing and distance maybe? One thing I have noticed is looking at a ground target and pressing . on the numeric keypad padlocks the target. Then you can request they engage it and it works! But this is a pain because it locks the view to the target. Does anyone have a better way to do that? Asking them to fire the laser would also be nice. Thanks Anthony
  3. Hi I have posted a bug on the view systems bugs forum for this. But it looks like it is a feature! My problem is around the time the fonts got changed to svg it appears that they have added some effects to make the fonts look more realistic for an old CRT. This is ok if you could only see it after zooming in but it is visible with the default fov of around 84 degrees. I play on a new 4k HDMI 2.1 VRR 50" TV. I cant use VR because my IPD is 74mm and cant see without eye strain. But it looks like several people on the web have made mods to make it more readable in VR. Can we please have a option in the settings to remove any added blur for all aircraft MFD? I understand this is to make it look more realistic but our monitors have limited pixel density and some compromise must be made to make it playable. I should not have to zoom in because it is life size on the screen because my FOV is the same as the real FOV. Thanks Anthony
  4. I found the best fix for this was to put a low value in stroke_fuzziness variable of the file Mods\aircraft\AV8BNA\Cockpit\Displays\Display_StrokeDefs.lua For some reason this is applied to the hud so that then becomes sharper also. It then looks a bit more like the above posted pic. It still has some blur and flicker to it. Looks like ED are trying to make it look like an old crt. My main problem with manual editing of the lua files is it is removed by updates. Can we please have an option (check box in the options screen) to remove any rendering effects that are applied to the mfd of all aircraft so the fonts are as clear as they can be? It looks like an effect is applied to the text so it looks more like a real old CRT. This is not helpful if you are on a small monitor or VR you do not want to make it even harder to read the text. It would be ok if after zooming in I could see the text has some blur but not while zoomed out because that makes it hard to read.
  5. Managed to change the spacing by altering the two values in the image. Also turning the gain down helps as in the pic. Can this be set to a lower default?
  6. I give up on this in March. Was waiting to see if it was fixed. But last week decided to try it again. Its maybe better than it was in March but the old version is not available now? I found an old pic and created a new one for as it is now. See attached side by side. The issue appears to be the spacing between characters is 0 they touch! Can this not be changed? Maybe it looks more like this in the real thing but you can't read anything until you zoom in a lot! I can't imagine its realistic the characters touch?
  7. If anyone is interested this appeared to look a lot better in the 2.5.6.59625 version for the harrier but the F18 still has the same problem. This can be reverted back using this command: DCS_updater.exe update 2.5.6.59625 from C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin I will create some screenshots later to compare.
  8. Hi I started playing in the old days a long time ago now when what is now DCS was lomac. But this is my first forum post! DCS is now probably the best combat related sim we have with few other choices. I work as a software developer and understand how hard it would be to create something as complex as DCS. Because of this I understand bugs are impossible to stop getting into releases. So the problem I have is the mfd text on the F18 and harrier is not clear. On the F18 it is clearer than the harrier on the top two mfds but the bottom one is not even clear if you zoom into the maximum you can. Changing brightness and contrast does improve things a bit but then the map is wrong on the hsi etc. The hsi on both Harrier and F18 looks a lot brighter than I would think it should be? The fonts used do not allow the text to be readable because they are to thick and characters too near each other. I realise the Harrier forum has a locked post saying they are looking into this. But have people not noticed it looks like it is a wider problem if the F18 has similar issues with the bottom mfd? For me this is really disappointing that this appears to not be a priority to be fixed quick. I think if something had a bug this big where I work by boss would be pushing me to fix it very quick. It is not a small issue that you can't read things that are essential to fly! I get that part of it may be an effort to make it look more realistic but we run DCS on computer monitors and VR. It must be useable on the hardware people have. Can this please be looked at with a higher priority? I had planned to get a VR setup and currently use a 34" 1440 monitor but it would not make sense to get any more hardware if I can't use it! Thanks Anthony
