Lmao when I bought the tomcat a few months back, the first livery I took out was the Christmas one. Nothing like jingling around with Rudolph. Gave me a good laugh and I can appreciate it.

Doesn't seem like too many are having the missing glareshield texture pop up. Anyone know a fix for this? I dragged and dropped the file in, so not sure what else could've gone wrong unless HB changed their file structure

It is still early access and its first release. The kinks will get worked out, no worries. I believe it is stable enough for the mass majority of people to use with some tweaks to be enjoyable. They could've very well held it longer and then folks would be displeased with that. Its part of something be early access, and i know most of you are just pointing it out so that they are aware, but dont be frustrated with them, either way someone will be unhappy about something. Just give it some time, and try some workarounds to get it going. I cant tell you how many servers ive been in that every slot if taken and everyone is playing just fine and learning and enjoying, you all can get there, just do some tweaking

Yeah im almost positive you have to hold it the entire time. However, what i may suggest is a LOAL (Lock-on After Launch) where you launch the hellfire and then lase about 10 seconds (itll tell you when to fire the laser) and thatll guide the hellfire down onto target. The ACQ source needs to be a target point so that the missile knows where to go essentially versus in direct, you just fire it at what youre looking at. Watch wags video or casmos and they have a better visual representation of it.

I'm willing to bank its some settings that need adjusting. For you to have a g2 and a 3080, i am willing to bet that you will have successful FPS to fly around in, buttery smooth too. It doesnt make sense I get that because in another aircraft you can achieve higher frames, but there is just probably some weird setting or workaround you might have to do. Just couldnt tell you what exactly that is. There are folks in this thread with "lesser" card than yours and are getting it, so you have to be able to.

To be honest, id have to see them side by side to really tell a difference. Even in medium its extremely detailed and very crisp and clear. I checked the 16 and 14 as well, samething. In high it makes me wonder now lol. I got good performance with changing the texture though. I only have issues after target being destroyed on attack runs, it seems like the smoke/fire is causing something (This is MP on hoggit training). SP kind of a different story and not enough test data to give an answer.

Got really good performance id say, generally pretty smooth and the textures were good enough to read. Maybe not as bad as i had thought it would be going from high to medium. A couple things i noticed; 1. When going in for attack runs, once targets were destroyed (This is done on hoggit training server), the smoke or something maybe even the flames caused my forced 40fps to drop to about 20 but would come back as i flew away, it was enough to feel it in the headset but nothing that would stop me from flying away kind of thing. 2. The blurriness i earlier spoke about was most likely linked to the "airlink" feature. This past test was done with the link cable as to rid any other varibles that would cause blurriness. I should also note that i have an OTT profile Here are some charts for your analytical pleasure lol

Ill give this a go right now and report back. I have always used 80 hz, but had it full to the right for resolution. I even tried the medium, which turned everything SUPER blurry and unreadable for me, performance wise it was great but looks wise not so much

It messes with my eyes a bit when in "both" lmao, feel crosseyed

I dont see much of a difference visually. I know some were saying they did in-game though, and werent fond of the simplex. I personally only have used keygetys so i cant compare much.

I think the memory leak issue is a nvidia problem, but thats purely speculative

Agreed but for me, and ill need to tinker with PD or something, the blurriness was pretty strong and it wasnt all crisp. but to me id think textures was just that, not the visual looking out. it only went blurry when i switched to medium

I tried these and they worked. Idk that i want to keep medium textures as everything looked blurry and not good...Switched to high and everything was crisp. Otherwise, all other tips worked for me exactly. I will say, having it rendered to left and def "both eyes" really throws you off in VR since the piece is on the right eye lol.

I tend to forget what the custom ones are for lol. So being able to name them would be nice. Your suggestions are on point!

The download was doing the same for me but I just sat there and kept clicking retry every time it failed until it finally finished lol. @Bergison I’m having issues with the map being a bit “laggy” when trying to pan around. Outside of that, it’s a tremendous mod, keep up the good work. EDIT: ill add when the exe is stating offline and im not in MP, it moves perfectly fine..no issues. Only turns into a non-moving struggle when i get online.

Ive been getting them every 0.5 seconds as well with my new build. I went from an i7 7700k, 3070ti, 32gb 3000 RAM, SSD...to; Ryzen 7 5800x, 3070ti, 32gb 3000 RAM, m.2 nvme, SSD, SSHD (game is on m.2, and windows is the SSD). I cant figure out for the life of me why only DCS does this. All other games do not have a noticeable stutter. Ive tried all tips in this thread as well.

Has anyone figured a workaround to get windows to turn the display off or go to sleep with the thrustmaster warthog HOTAS being plugged in? I know i can unplug them to get it to do this, however, i have everything wired and hidden so thats not an east thing to do. I'm sure theres someway to get the controllers to quit pinging lol.

These are great ideas!

So the JTAC would need to change their code to the pilots code? versus the common way of the pilot changing their code to match the JTAC's?

This definitely gets me in the right direction. I think that in my head I was thinking of what is the best weapons for the fights in a more realistic aspect. Majority of the time mavs and JDAMs do the job, but im sure APKWS, guns, and unguided bombs are best suited for something, just couldn't find or think of when I would bring them bc most of the time, mavs and jdams do exactly what i need it to do. Trying to expand my knowledge and what yall put definitely helps and I thank yall for that!

I frequently see questions asked about whats the best loadout or real loadout, but my question is built from that and a tad more specific'ish lol. When would you use what, for what type of mission or target. i.e.: IR Mav for the super strong tanks (i cant remember what they are, maybe T90?) JDAMS for multiple targets in area where you cant get super close Answers such as that. The reason I ask the question is because I am still trying to learn the different types of ammo and what they are good for, versus the way I am currently going about things...shoot mavs at the SA's, drop JDAMS on tanks even though idk if they're heavy, shoot rockets at the AAA trucks and brrt whatever else i can find and do flippie and spinnies dodging SA missles from manpads and AAA from the trucks lol. This is my way of trying to be better and ask questions to be better

Is there a way to edit a config file so that whatever settings we set in the STAT menu, saves. I.e keeping the FOV and SPI visible all the time versus OCLD

Bringing up an old thread here but wanted to see if someone could elaborate on a couple things as I am new to the A-10. Are most of these realistic loadouts for CAS? or CAP? I'd like to make some presets so I have been looking over everyones post but I would like to make presets that are good for different scenarios/missions and for PVE MP. I have been fiddling with the F/A 18 for a couple weeks and it is multi-role so wanted to make sure I am setting them both up in the ways that they are intended. Thank you in advance for any help or tips!
