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

as above, keep it simple.

hello i set the use mouse feature in the VR menu to off and i bound 2 buttons on my throttle to use as left and right click as i sit away from my desk in VR , it works great for everything in the cockpit , the comms menus i can click , the main menu is fine however if i select to adjust controls i cant click anything. which is an issue since i have to then take my VR off get out of my flight chair and walk to my pc to restart dcs world as i cant even exit the menu since the mouse is not active. is this a known issue or could it be a personal issue with my setup. any help appreciated

a lot of those Chinese factories are setup in a way that u have to make a minimum order to get them to actually start work. my guess is the owner didn't have the money to invest so he is using pre order to fill his kitty until he has enough for another batch. the lack of communication is probably because he doesn't want people pulling out because if he needs 100 orders to get the ball rolling and 2 people pull out that is 98 people that have to wait 6 months or so for those 2 orders to be filled. at least this is my take on it based of friends experiences dealing with Chinese factories. u either invest a large amount at a risk or make the customer invest for u.

i share on the vr facebook group the other day a photo of my vr setup in 2008 flying lomac with a vuzix vr920. it was expensive and very simple compared to the vr of today but it allows me to appreciate even a oculus dk1 and how far hardware and software have come. the best thing for me is that my best friends live in greece and i live in western australia. we talk every day and have done for 13 or so years thanks to lomac bringing us together. i also remember in lomac due to the air tanker bug only the host would see the boom lower so we would have to relay to each other where the boom was in relaction to the aircraft lol we have come so far.

hi guys, been a while. i have unfortunately decided to put this project on hold, back in December i had to have a knee surgery , micro fracture surgery which will take some time to fully heal so i really need to take it easy to avoid the need for a full knee replacement at a young age. i also have another project in my garage you might have spotted which is a real Cessna 188 crop duster aircraft cockpit shell. i saved it from being crushed and i hope to build it into something that i can trailer to events locally to help raise money for the royal flying doctor service and more so now fire fighters. i will still be around using my mk10 replica seat as a standalone vr seat , thanks again for everyone's encouragement with this build.

show us your setup , might be able to help however if u have standard toggle switches u cant just put a cap on it as the shaft rotates within the toggle housing so your landing gear knob would turn sideways.

few renders as the throttle develops. i saw the idea of a 6x6mm tac switch having its legs passed through a 3d print which held it on nicely so i thought id try this.

i plan to implement my leap motion with the currently in development software by a forum member. if he can disable the functions and just have the hands visible i hope my m2000 pit is accurate enough that if i put my hand in a real world location the visible hand will be the same in the virtual location. probably wont be flying for at least 6 weeks due to an injury though so it has some waiting time to test

ive not been putting all my photos up on here due to time restrictions. so ill put up some photos that date in the past. this tv cost me $10 as the backlight didnt work, i used a 20mm bit of wire i had to bypass the burnt out led and bobs ya uncle. the latest update include some decals ive made in photoshop , i also made a simple wooden box for my 3d printer to allow better heat control required for abs printing so i have been able to do some more parts for the mk10 seat as well as test print my throttle handle for testing of size and just to see how it is in general. i modeled this from matbogs photos and was unsure how it would turn out but im pretty happy with the result so far, i dont expect an exact replica but most people that look at it know what it is. the grip texture is way to small so ill adjust that. *edit* always using the wrong image code :P

I also modded a 3d pro. I added a second spring from a spare 3d pro and a rubber CV boot from a car and trimmed the plastic back.
