https://discord.gg/ZtGFKD this is the mig 21 formation team discord server , jump on and everyone can help you with most aircraft. many real world pilots to get tips from to. we have a dedicated server that we mess around on most of the time.

with a modified lua you can place ground spawns.

so 1 week on from starting to learn to use 3dsmax and im pretty happy with the progress in my learning. ive been playing with some concepts and seeing what works and what doesnt. i managed to make a collision shell on a flat plane that i could land on but it didnt look good. so i changed tactics and rather then building the runway up i thought to build the surrounds up. i went way to high on the grass and its a massive fps killer but i think if i can make a similar style to the speedtrees it may be doable. anyway ill keep at it and ill post up stuff as i learn and progress.

just some basic pics today, made a simple hanger to add to the mix. im also playing with a layout template to get cones evenly spaces. this is a flat plane placed in ME and then used to line up markers on the dots. works ok but if ground is not super flat it disappears under ground when zooming in to far.

thanks guys , been learning more as i go. today i managed to make a decent traffic cone , and i started work on a slightly detailed hanger. i have been having some texture issues due to having to many segments but ill figure that out soon. the hangers are kind of based of a farm hanger made from corrugated iron sheets. i am pretty happy with it so far and i love that it reflects the sun so well. i have been reading about object collisions and looking at the stock airfield files. i think to have a grass runway done right id have to make a large bit of land that surrounds the runway as the stock airfield seem to do this to. i will play with it and see what i can come up with :P. also yes i will be releasing this to the community if anyone wants to try it. maybe in a few weeks ill have enough to share Version 1.

hi this is something ive been playing with for a bit using stock static objects. ive always wanted to make marker cones like seen in GA farm fields but had issues making the switch between fusion360 which i know to 3dsmax which is like a different language. anyway so far i have managed to make a yellow , white and red/white marker cone as its own static object. they are very basic atm but i plan to make more detailed models of these cones with better textures as well as some new hangers and static field objects. i have also tried to add ground textures to a flat plane to help highlight the runway but this does not work so well as the ground needs to be super flat and also the grass pokes through. will update as i go thanks.

i have never had this issue and i run on a 10 year old system with a htc vive. id reassess your settings as i consider the yak52 as one of my favourites to fly.

hi guys im wondering if someone can clarify something for me *does dcs world use generic terrain texture tiles that are spread over the map randomly or does each square section of the map have its own texture tile? ive been looking through the files and i found defaultlandtextures but this seems to be more just for F10 map. and i found more details texture tiles but only a small amount leaving me to believe those tiles are multiplied throughout the map. what i am wanting to try to do is edit some tiles in set locations to include a dirt/grass runway for use with the yak52 and adding static objects and triggers in ME to create some cool field to field navigation missions. any help would be appreciated and would allow me to stop filtering through 1000's of texture files :P ps im aware of other mods that use objects as runways but would prefect a texture. thanks

i see you are from sweden , so its decided you shall make a pc7 or pc9 module please :P

i have made a new channel for users new or experienced to join that will help link them with virtual aerobatics teams and others interested in creating teams. it will have upto date info about upcoming virtual airshows , instructors to link with for gaining experience and allows teams to post their recruitment adverts to the target audience. we are still new atm but hoping to grow with your help. so feel free to check us out. https://discord.gg/sSHKzR

this is done through mission editor by adding triggers. if you see a server like the Aerobatics Online server, they have all airports set with a maximum taxi speed. if u get close to the max speed u are given a warning in text and if u exceed the max taxi speed u are sent back to spectator.

if you ever get on the aerobatics online server and join their discord, keep an eye out for a guy named Mugga. he flys in a mig formation team that i dont recall the name of but if you get the chance to fly with him on comms for even 30 mins i bet you will learn something. ive been flying basic formations for over 10 years in this sim and he has given me advise that has helped me massively

i had this same error and pc would crash/freeze and id have to restart the pc . i threw a different psu in it and flew for a few hours without issues. sucks because a week ago my good motherboard got fried and i couldnt figure it out as the old psu seems to work perfectly fine. just lucky it didnt fry the cheap backup. ill keep updated if i get issues again.

i faced the same issues due to not being able to afford a good pc. i tried to go 2D but just couldnt, im now playing around with fc3 aircraft as a substitute and im finding the preformance increase is great and allows me to still do casual flying

is there a better guide for installing the github drivers. i installed dcleap and i get a red and green square that disappear with showing my palm but nothing else is working. no visual mouse intergration or anything. all the guides online seem to assume everyone is a programmer :P
