In what way?

Can we have the option to select a naming convention for military hardware? At the minute we have a mix of NATO and Russian nomenclature on the F-10 map, the notifications, and the JTAC menu. For example, it shows an SU-33 firing an R-73 whilst an SA15 fires a 9M330 missile at an F-16 firing an AIM-120. Can we have the option to use purely NATO reporting names? I spent a career learning the range and ceilings of SA6s and SA11s without ever knowing they were called a Kub or a Buk! Similarly I know the threat posed by an AA-10C or AA-12, but need to look up what an R-77 is. Dr Spankle

Hi all, My bindings work as they should, except for when I move the Pitch selector from 'Alt Hold' to 'Off', which does nothing. If I move it from 'Alt Hold' to 'ATT Hold', it works, and if I then go from 'ATT Hold to 'Off' it works, but not from 'Alt Hold' to 'Off'. Any advice gratefully received! Spankle

The last update fixed this for me - not sure what the issue was but it's sorted now. Spankle

Mine doesn't say openbeta - but I thought that there was only one version now? And how come I had one icon befor the update and now I have 2 (MT and non MT)? I though MT was standard now?

Hi all, After the last update DCS wouldn't load and just hung at the Launch Screen. All I got was a black screen with no icons. I tried Repair (quick and full), but it didn't work. I don't have any mods. I uninstalled and re-installed and now I have 2 icons, DCS and DCS-MT, where I used to only have 1 (I thought the MT version was now the default?), and, although I saved my user profile for my HOTAS, when I the Load Profile nothing changes. I've never had an issue updating before. Anyone help? Dr Spankle

Someone's got to know the answer to this!

Has the keyboard shortcut changed for this and can anyone confirm it still works please? Thanks, Spankle

Hi all, Is there a simple way for me to enable this? Regards, Dr Spankle

Hi all, If trying to set a Mark Point using the TGP, when I TMS up to ground stabilise the cursor, the SOI moves to the Wpn page of the Maverick. If I have selected Mark on the UFC first is this correct behaviour? I understand why the SOI auto-switches in A-G mode, but surely if you have first selected Mark it's clear you don't want that to happen - you want your next TMS up to designate the Mark point and populate the DED with coords ...

I'm up to mission 4 and it's very slow and frustrating so far. A case in point would be M4 where, after my wingman detects a convoy and we engage as directed, nothing at all happens. There are tons of tgts on the deck but no option to report them. That's not SCAR. You need to be able to report them and request instructions. Instead we returned to the IP, flew in circles till bingo, and then RTB'd only to not pass the mission. Realism is one thing, but this needs more 'game'.

You'll wonder why you persisted with the Reverb - the Aero is a different league!

I'm getting the same on Caucuses MP using 4YA servers. Also, my PTT for in-game DCS comm no longer has any effect, even though the key bind still registers in settings as R1 PTT. Dr Spankle

The CEP is 30m, or 100ft. That means 50% of the weapons dropped should fall within that radius. So, 30ft is perfectly acceptable accuracy for a GBU38. Realism we wanted, realism we got ...
