Ammo and fuel trucks should be part of a Sam battery. I usually add explode unit trigger to ammo and fuel trucks. They make a big booms when hit. I'd rather have unlimited ammo for ground units. Especially infantry that runs out of ammo really quickly.

I guess you could always make sure another airfield is at a higher elevation and so not affected by fog. But it would be really cool if they added the ability to use trigger zones to add weather. Not just for fog. But dust storm. Local showers etc. You don't even have to make the trigger zones another shape. "Just" add a built in "irregular " shape to any weather. So if you weather trigger zone is 100 000. Then the fog will be at say 90 000 and then get less dense closer to the 100 000 border. But that's probably another 8500 man hours.

They are combatants on a warship. So obviously not what we are talking about when discussing unarmed people on the Afghanistan map.

A the beauty of the track. Doing the track with F1 view. It worked great. If I run the same track in external view. None of l my weapons releases. They claim the track records all kinda inputs ect. But how does changing the view. Somehow affect what is shown in the track. The inputs and everything is the same. Only the view is different. Yet somehow it changes what happens. Completely illogical

By God sir, you have it! Thanks!

Very nice indeed. I share the hope the fog won't affect VR performance. Rain and snow effects still tank VR preformance

I did a mission that I spent so long on getting right, (once I even had to abort to break up a dog argument) and when I finally finished it, something had happned to my recodring, some settings had gone off in OBS. I have run the track with cockpit and recorded that, but the view is very zoomed in, however if I try to adjust the view, I'll lose the recorded head tracking.

Huge amount of work for the DLC campaign makers. And as someone who mostly does one of mission that i made myself. It would help immensely. Same way as having an airbase populated aircraft, static and moving, having infantry and vehicles moving here and there. Same as having animated deck crew on the carrier. It's all part in immersion and realism. As it is now. You can't even contact what little ATC there is on multiplayer servers.

Nothing exists in DCS until it's released. Not aircraft, not maps, not core updates.

So the great battle video is done, 98 Cold war western aircraft attack Murmansk, defended by a dozen MiG-21s and 100 AAA and Sams. Southern force will attack the SA-5 and SA-6 batteries at the Murmansk international airport, this is Swedish Viggen, USAF F-4s and Mirage F-1s. The center force is British Harriers with British F-4s as TARCAP. The Northern force consists of Norwegian and Luftwaffe F-104 on TARCAP. USASF and Luftwaffe F-4s on fighter bomber mission, Luftaffe F-104 fighter bombers. And Norwegian F-5s on Fighter bombers and SEAD/DEAD. I’m apparently a better ground pounder when I can’t see the targets, my 4 Mk83s dropped at Severomorsk 1 took out 4 TU--95 bombers and a whole SA-2 battery. I just dropped in the general direction and couldn’t see anything. I drop another 3 Mk82s blind and somehow hit a S-60 AAA and ammo truck. My blind firing of 20mm into the dark ground, took out more ammo trucks, 2 SA-2 missiles and 2 SA-2 radars. By the end of the 15 minute engagement, all enemy aircraft in the air or ground were taken out, all SAM batteries spread out across the city were taken out, about half the AAA got blown up too and a few random tanks had to go boom. We lost 10 aircraft, several to SAMs, a couple to MiG-21s, and 3 Harriers blew themselves up when dropping Mk20s

I agree with you, but that's how ED treats ww2. We not only paid for the aircraft and maps. But also spent money on a paid asset pack. Yet we are treated as second class citizens. ED doesn't make moeny on WW2, so ww2 is the lowest of lowest priority. I have everything ww2, but honestly don't play much any more as I'm tired of the only thing ww2 gets is bugs. Nothing of major importance has come to ww2 dcs since the Mossie and the Mossie itself is mostly left for dead. Jets got BVR AI updates and BFM AI updates. But ww2 AI is the same it has been for 10 years.

I've wanted to do a helicopter landing to take back oil rig captured by terrorists. But can't have infantry on oil rigs. And can't have them disembark on oil rig from the helicopter

They would still have it tested. The new animations for modern infantry won't come untill the new 3d models are ready. And i guess they aren't ready.

Since ww2 is low priority, they use ww2 as a test bed, so if anything breaks. It only affects ww2 which isn't a big deal. They seriously broke the Mossie with the new landing gear physics. But since the number of people that own and fly the Mossie is miniscule vs F16 or F18, It's not a big deal. And once all the bug are fixed they'll add the new physics to the important modules.

I don't usually do many night vidoes, because 1. People aren't interested in watching mosty black video. But we do have some illumination flares to there is some visual action going on. 2. I'm a terrible night driver. In the F16 it's no problem, night or day, mostly the same. But in stuff like the F4, with just your old cockpit gauges to go by, flying instruments only, man it's terrifying. I practiced night landing a few times, as the Swedish through it was smart to have lots of trees right in front of the runway. On my second practice landing it went great, naturally in the mission, I lost control, I came in way to low buzzing the tress I could barely make out in my taxi lights (of course I forgot to turn on landing lights) after missing the tree tops by a couple of meters, I made a terrible landing and Jester let me know it. But all in all, mission was completed. And no losses on our side. Should teach the Soviets to not make helicopter FOB on West German territory(using Sweden as stand in for North Central Germany) .

@BIGNEWY Can you into detail on the ww2 infantry animations and damage model fixes? This wasn't in the change log as far as I saw

Now I got it on a multiplayer track in my regular DCS track folder, but the dedicated server track works..

Finally once we get north end Australia. We can simulate the great Kiwi-Emu war.

Absolutely, very surprising but very welcomed, some very good fixes there, and new stuff too. Well the F-4 seems to have gotten some improvements, like F-4 Ai lofting and using Mavericks

I assume some basic bug fixed. Which is always good.

So I do a yearly "stress test" of DCS, and I don't mean a highly scientific one with FPS and CPU timings etc., just to test for myself. So don't except much useful info. But you do get to see a massive missile spam, some 111 AMRAAMS fired off in about 2 minutes. I also do some low and high level playing with the F-16
