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 ...

What's your issue with JDAMs? Dr Spankle

If this was correct as is, why did it change in the last hotfix?

This is getting off topic now (as usual). The fact is ED have said they are going to fix the bore-sighting, and hopefully bring in an option to remove the need for those who would like that. We need to be patient and give them the time they need to get it right. Now, to address your post: The missions in the 4YA MP servers (which seem to be very popular) are not CAS but BAI or DAS, and Mavs/Hellfire/Brimstone are ideal weapons for this (as are GBUs depending on the targets). I haven't found any genuine CAS on an MP server yet. Unless you're working for a JTAC or friendly Troops In Contact, it's unlikely to be CAS you're carrying out. Furthermore, I know of no examples of WCMD being used for CAS - you don't drop CBUs anywhere near FFs as the REDs are impossible to determine. Hope that helps, Dr Spankle

It works very well on the ground in MP. Remember you need Ground Jettison Enable to ON. If you find a lighting vehicle or PAR truck at the far end of the airfield your mavs will boresight nicely. Dr Spankle
