Hi, We run 3 instances of DCS servers and they get restarted everyday at 5am, for some weird reason only 1 is currently showing up (public one)
Now normally when this happens and we check the dcs.log file we get error messages about not being able to report to master server, then things go back to normal when it phones in, check the log file and noticed this on our main server

EDIT: Using direct IP and port connection we can connect to these "offline servers", so dcs server == working ok, the reporting to master looks to be a bit dodgy ?
Same issues on our three servers

There was a video from a RL A-10 pilot some years back who gave a couple tips on how to improve the (back then v1) A-10C. One of his points was he never saw an A-10 cold with flaps down but once, which was during maintenance. So the default according to him is to have them retracted. Same with air brakes (which are correctly retracted in DCS).
Could not find the video today, nor the pilot (force majeure) sadly. Had it downloaded back then and just stumbled upon the copy a day ago.
Not just pilots I reported that as a bug back in 2011 (ish) when I was still testing for ED. Their argument was they believe when hydraulic power is gone they would droop down (which is not accurate).

Since some people are not eager to share anything, here is what I sent earlier to the author of this thread (without even a reply to say it has been received
).
Thank you, great info if someone bases their mission on 2009 operations.

Is anyone elses HMCS really dim since the new update?
Noticed similar last night, general symbology was okay but my wingman's wasn't as bright as it use to be hard occasionally hard to see.

Runway 23 at Kandahar should have ILS, frequency 108.55 @NineLine thanks for looking into it.

Add friendly and enemy fighters to TAD page when there is an E3 AWACS around, specially for MP.

on the HMCS as well.

17 plus years A-10 crew chief experience so my post was based on 17 years launching, fixing, recovering, and managing the flight line and hours of conversation with ops.
Out of all the hours talking with ops you often get answered that aren’t the same when talking to different pilots. Like I said a low weight A-10 maybe but normal ops not in my experience. Take it or leave it.
PS…ED coding missing HMCS or TAD symbology would be a much better value than this IMO.

Hi. Any progress towards a fix? It seems the HMCS is affected by the NVG "blur mask" so looking down at my SPI which was below the aircraft blurs the HMCS, which kinda ruins CAS.
Also, I'm no expert but most of HMS promotional materials shows color with night vision. Since the scorpion hmcs is closest to the eye and a separate device than the NVG, wouldn't we be able to see color such as friendlies and waypoint names in blue?
yes we should

I've always consistently heard that the "The only thing this jet does fast is slow down, and taxi". As a piece of real world evidence, they definitely taxi around at idle after a sortie. They need to have their engines in idle for at least 5 minutes prior to engine shutdown and they always idle into the chocks. You can tell by the sound of the engines, and the fact that you see the nose constantly dropping indicating brakes are being applied. On taxi out too for that matter, A lot of pilots clearly just release brakes and the plane starts moving slowly at first and accelerates without any increase in engine noise.
The A-10 absolutely can not maintain taxi speeds at idle. She can creep slowly at idle depending on the aircraft weight and the slop of the ground but to say she can taxi at idle is wrong.

Using Google Earth you can adjust the date to see what is located where. If you change the dates (5/2010 through 9/2019) you if you zoom in you can see here Blackhawks, Chinooks, A-10s, KC-135s and other airframes are located.

I second this! It's extremely irritating having bushes and stones popping out of nowhere a few meters in front of you. And the building details. Oh my!

Impacts looking through the TGP as well would be nice at least to have buildings and vegetation appear in the TGP and not magically pop up as you get closer as well.

That is not accurate.
The EPLRS radio doesn't care that it is on the ground and as soon as it is initialized it will try and time into the network. As long as there is line of sight to another SADL player it should work. If pilots don't see their other flight members on SADL prior to taxiing out of the chocks they call maintenance to come and fix the equipment.
Obviously SADL is more complex than the game and there are valid reasons why it might not work until after takeoff, but it is by no means the norm. You should have SADL in chocks while taxiing around.
Already said the same based on first hand real world experience
and @NineLine said he would talk with the team right above your post.

I did a quick test:
Groupmember visible on both TAD as HMCS:
nullnull
It's a weird bug, my last flight it was fine for during launch and the initial portion of the flight but halfway through the flight lost them on HMCS but could still see them on the TAD.
16 hours ago, NineLine said:Team has let me know that this is correct, that you will not get DL from other aircraft unless they are airborne, no DL when they are on the ground. Thanks.
Not sure who is providing that info but that isn't correct. Can't share the actual document due to ITAR but it does work on the ground and we often work redballs (maintenance while the pilot is in the seat during launches) and blueballs (maintenance while the pilot is in the seat during recoveries) specific to the Tactical Data Network issues.

MP last night network setup correctly could see both of my wingmen (clients) fine on the TAD but not in the HMCS. Track was to long to share will try to get a shorter one this week.

News from ED : New units will be available in 2024 that will range from World War II to modern day. Each unit requires thousands of man-hours to create and will be provided as optional packs at their highest levels of detail.
I understand that if I want the new 3D models I will have to pay for it, like for the WWII assets pack? This one shot will become a standard in DCS ?
We're moving towards a game with two levels of modeling...
What can be expext in the future ?
You want a better vegetation : you have to pay for ?
You want nice new buildings : you have to pay for ?
Sorry, and this is my personal opinion, but if confirmed, I'm very disappointed by this kind of policy (even if I totally understand that ED need money to continue the development of our favourite simulation game).I would also think creating two levels of detail for models would be double the work but maybe I’m not understanding how ED is doing this stuff.

Sure hope the save game feature works in MP. Something as “simple” as the mission is saved when the last client exits the server would be great.

ED, just tell me Kuwait is going to be featured (eventually) so I can sleep at night!
Al Jaber AB, Kuwait was a key base post Desert Storm, during the second Iraq War & during Operation Inherent Resolve...if the base is not included in the map that will be a huge mistake IMO.

Wags mentioned in an interview earlier this week they "hope" to update the NTTR map someday to the latest map tech but the map team is busy with other maps. Sorry don't recall the timestamp.

Huge foul IMO and to do it without even giving folks warning is even worse. I try to stay positive lately but this and other “issues” are ridiculous.
