Any update on the future of this map? Very much seems like it's abandoned?

This exact scenario happened to me a couple of weeks back. I used about 2 mins of WEP during a couple of boom and zooms, then while cruising back 20mins or so later, all temps well within range, something happened to the engine. Next thing I know, the oil temp rises then engine dies. Not got a track of this, but its not the first time in the last 6 months this has happened and I'm convinced the bug is still present.

Nearly to the end of this fantastic campaign in the P-47, and something that makes these campaigns standout is the historical accuracy and level of detail. For instance, prior to mission 11, I had never heard of operation Frantic (despite many documentaries and much WW2 reading over many years) - just done a read through on Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Frantic) and wow, what an interesting operation. Run bombers and their escorts on round trips from UK to USSR and Italy then back to the UK. Its also interesting to read about the relations between the US and USSR at this time and the growing unease between the 2 being a sign of things to come in the cold war. Not just a campaign, but also a fascinating history lesson, superb . P.S. I find the info from Dogday upon return - namely the runway in use, to be really helpful. After over an hour airborne its easy to forget which runway you took off from.

Its funny, i was having trouble on the latest patch with aircraft disappearing due to what I thought was ghosting. So I thought why not try MSAA again, just for the hell of it... and what do you know, it works again!

Since the last update, MSAA now seems to be working...

Hi, following the most recent update to DCS, I've had a real problem with spotting aircraft. Specifically, aircraft appear almost invisible at a certain distance. Below is an example of what I mean, these shots were taken from the same reply file, the first is from the current DCS version 2.9.17.11733 and the second is form version 2.9.16.10973 which I rolled back to in order to test. Note: I have not changed any settings either game or graphics card in both these shots, the only change is the version of DCS. Whilst the older version screenshot isn't great at picking out a FW190 Dora, the new version is also completely invisible at the same distance. As it stands for me, dogfighting is no longer feasible as I cannot see the other aircraft. meaning new campaign that I bought (wolfpack 2) is unplayable.

Has anyone tried fighting the AI Corsair and find they get annihilated every time or is it just me? I normally fight against Ace level AI and 9/10 will beat all other aircraft with ease, however with the Corsair it seems to be able have aimbot accuracy and perform manoeuvres with limitless amounts of energy. I'm a veteran of 4 years of warbird dog-fighting so I'm no amateur, but this AI Corsair is crazy! I though against it at 'ACE', got destroyed, then 'veteran' with same result and no noticeably drop in Corsair performance. Its like the Mig-15 of warbirds...

Even after a fix for the horn being constantly 'on'. I'd like to see an option to disable it completely, very annoying sound.

haha good one, didn't see that one coming

DLSS update has made a notable difference, less ghosting, sharper image and AA. so far so good

In the Spitfire, against pretty much everything (except I-16) all you need to do is - Turn. The Spit will out turn anything and is your friend both offensive and defensive. Bandit on your 6? just perform a tight turn and he wont be able to keep with you. If he carries on trying to turn with you, eventually you will turn the tables. Spit doesn't climb or dive as well as the other WW2 aircraft, its all about the "turn".

I'm wondering if this is actually Caucasus 2.0. The first part of the Video showcased the dynamic campaign over Georgia, the palm trees featured around this point too. And... if you go onto google maps and look at say downtown Poti on street view, you can see plenty of palm trees. Just my theory.

I got that bus on my playthrough. Very amusing . "You cant park that there mate!"

Regarding the AI not detecting targets through fog, does this extend to clouds or is that WIP?

@BIGNEWY or someone at ED, can you explain the above for me please?
