Hey BN Sorry if I wasn't clear, this is what steam told me. "ED didn't remove them, so kick rocks" I just hate having modules that may work, but will never be completed. (I know, ongoing process, but as a business owner, I've been there. Business is trust.) But yeah. such is life. The module will continue to work with DCS 2.9 Same as the Hawk T.1A continue to work with DCS 2.5.3 But who the hell still uses DCS 2.5.3? Btw. is it somehow possible to download older Versions of DCS and does these older Versions support Multiplayer so you can play this Module with Multicrew in mind together with your friends to experience the whole feeling of the Dsync-Multicrew-Feature that makes you have fun Missing designated strike targets in your two-seat StrikeEagle? I did not refund my F-15E even though I bought it in EDs E-Shop and not stream. Because I was told from officials to hold on for the resolution of this Razbam Situation.

Since Speicherstadt is one of UNESCO world heritage site, I would like to see it one day updated but maybe some day one of the developers have time to do that since they already build some fantastic sites of the map. Because I am from Germany and my main interest for future DCS gameplay focus on ColdWar, it was a Must-Have for me to buy this map on Release day I can confirm what you said in your Text, the developers somehow got this detailed map work as smooth (even in VR) as Syria is. I will build the Future of DCS in this Map from the Past. ColdWar is the Sweetspot between slow Propeller flying (with or against a Nation that is driven by Hate) and Jets so modern that the don’t even see eachother before killing.

nullYour game crashes Midgame in SP mission because your Login Server is down? Why is that nessesary?

as soon as you get used to it, the startup in the Harrier is even faster than in most other Jets. I think only my AJS37 has a faster startup. I prefer to start the Harrier on a Tarawa Flightdeck because the cable link to the Carrier has a faster INS Align than on ground (as far as I remember). While F/A-18 and F-14 still spooling up the second engine, I already am on my way to target. (Downside is the subsonic speed. So F/A-18 CAS/Strike will be early on target anyway ) Another reason to start on the Tarawa is, because it is cool to be the only Jet in DCS that could start and land there. Everyone could start a Plane on a Supercarrier but as long as there is no F-35 Module, you are the only non-Heli player on that Tarawa ^^

This. I would like to use it more and play it togehter with my buddys but I cannot recommand them to buy it. Therefor i would fly it alone and with knowing how incomplete it is. At the weekend i started it since last time about a year ago. After start, on online server, I immediately turned back to airfield and switched to AV8B because it is more fun to play a module that is less raw. Even the F-15C is more fun because it does everything its supposed to do while I just spend some 15$ for Flaming Cliffs or so.

Everything as I said. Interesting to see, where it comes from.

Did you read that in a fortune cookie? Please go to your Car-Dealer, buy a vehicle without an engine and tow it around a little. You know, not putting an engine in the vehicle will give it value, riding it does. If you now start to explain that the F-15E is somehow playable and good as it is, you just tell me that there is no serious way to talk to you. I do not know what state of art the refund options are right now but I was told that there are Topics we can not talk about in this forum. And telling people what rights they have in what countries gets stressfull from time to time.

aged like Milk. Patience needs to be fed with updates and results but I am still waiting to not regret keeping the module when it was possible to refund it earlyer.

I cannot tell if I had the same issue once but to give this something to think about: Due to network limitations most bigger Multiplayer Missions do some tricks to rise performance. If you use TacView after flying a dynamic Mission on an online server while you was alone there, you can observe that the enemy units have 3 states: 1. Active, 2. Not Simulated and 3. not existing. These states are triggered by players flying in several distances to the enemy. In state 3 you cannot even see them, no matter what your view distance is. In state 2 you may not be able to lock them even though you can see them because they may have the same state as terrain buildings and trees. in state 1 they are in normal state and can move/shoot. The Performance on singleplayer Missions are dependend of your Computer hardware. If your computer is able to simulate all of the mission at once and everything in your view distance, you can lock them. maybe someone with more experience in DCS Core code and Mission editing can give you more context for this matter.

no but it seems that not everyone reached that. This Thead is the best example that ED has to put a disclaimer in the Store that Razbam modules are not supported at the moment. If you buy the SE and find this out, ED just gives you the option to return it for store credit, what seems litterly illegal. You cannot sell dead, unfinished products without the option for people to return it for cash. If the buying person is not interested in any other module, what should he buy for that credit? Noone here buys DCS because it is for free. We buy specific modules. null

Either you are trolling or you did not understand what “Disput between ED and Razbam” means. You did not just buy another Razbam module for full price since other modules are on sale at the moment? Did you? do you want to buy Av8B and Mig-19, too? I have some bad news there.

No solution here?

The OH58 looks nice but at the moment, I hold back my wallet because I do not know how ED will handle 3rd party modules in the future. Still waiting for official announcements if it is worth spending money in non-ED modules. I already got UH1, AH64 and KA50. the OH58 would look good between them but it is not an ED module.

Once I were told that since the dispute with VEAO Simulations and the T.1A, ED changed contracts with further developments of 3rd Party Modules so even when the developer disappears, ED could still be able to patch the module with further DCS updates or even keep developing it further if they want. I agree, the Harrier is good as it is at the moment. I never have problems while flying and it is a great work by RB. It is my most used module. I have high hopes for Harrier II Plus one day so I kindly say: #payrazbam (or find another solution to keep working with them) EDIT: @Pipe AJ is called Alpha Juliet as nickname and he was the Community Manager for the Harrier. He Quit his position to do something else he wanted. As far as official information by razbam, he did not quit because of the dispute wit ED. He just stayed some more time when the dispute started, to help out his old team. See more in "Harrier-announcements" on the razbam discord.

For example, the Weapon station button Nr.7 that is the only one that does not visually push in when clicked and no one ever cared? Once I had serious struggles with that button while coding my DCS-Bios for my selfmade cockpit. Tried to fix that button on hardwareside for several hours until I recognised that I never had a problem and all was working but DCS just has no visual push in for that one Button

No, not like this. Casual players are not interested to search the whole Forum to suddenly find a thread that is some kind of official by ED. The Thead is from 14.November? I just found out today and I am normally browsing in this forum from time to time. what I mean is the website Newsletter or the beta changelogs that everyone gets automatically in every discord server that has a DCS topic. people that gave up to fix the problem with unsafe methods lost interest in forum threads and wait for solution, mentioned in changelogs. with the last open beta patch, my friend just told me “hmm, no performance bug fix in that changelog? I not even try that new version then. I have other things to do.”

two of my friends have similar problems but with worse computer hardware (but everything worked fine with 2.8.XX and we played alot). At the moment it is unplayable for them and they frustrated as they are stoped playing the game what was a big pushback for myself (because i do not like to fly without friends) I have a whole homade flightchair with VR and upgraded my GPU to 4090 just to get buttersmooth VR Gameplay just in DCS (all other games do not care if i have 4090 or way lower) and now i have to play alone and that makes everything lonely and frustrating. Therefor I am looking things up in the Forum since 2.9 release and all the suggestions require deep changes in Windows processes while playing without hope to help. We all are not interested in trying many workarounds that may, may-not work and it is annoying to install software that i do not know and that dos things that I cannot control in hope the Hardware wont brake. I always had the impression, that EDs developer work very hard on problems to fix them ASAP. Since this problem came from 2.9 update, in my opinion this has to be fixed by ED instead of 3rd party software or deleting Windows processes. A game just works when you can play it after installing without further changes in Windows. >1 sec shuttering with specs like i7-11700KF and RTX4060TI are not okay for a game that age. At the moment I am missing the part where ED tells people in the news that there are some unknown shuttering issues where the devs are working on. I think there are people out there wondering if they are the only ones experience this issue. @BIGNEWY maybe you could announce on your Website if the Devs are working on that or not.

Maybe they plan some major updates on av8 after the f15 is some kind of finish. I bought mine with 50% off in 2021. if they announce big changes on an old module, they better find some players that have not bought them already.

First: No. Second: Why would you want to do that? The x56 Base is one of the worse. I would favor to get a x56 Stick on a warthog base than putting a warthog stick on a x56 base. Better not even use the x56 at all. if you can, change stick and base together and get yourself one of the better stuff.

You guys know what the Best part of buying a X56 is? It is the Part where you buy one, play with it for about a year, realize the many major issues with production quality* and than you can lend it to a friend because you got to a point where it is not worth playing it while having the ability to buy a better one instead. So my friend has no money because he is student and now we can fly together. He does not care about all that problems with the X56 because he can use it for free. But anyway, if I had the possibility to go back in time, I would stop myself from Buying the X56 or the Saitek rudder pedals. It may be unfair to compare the X56 with my VKB Gunfighter Ultimate, Virpil Throttle and Thrustmaster TPR Rudder because of the price distance between it but there are possibilities to construct cheaper equipment by a company like Logitech that could work as good as the expensive stuff without the big problems the X56 has. I am wondering why logitech still sells that stuff. > In Europe they want about 220€ on amazon for that garbage and you can get a Warthog for 449€. I see the problem here. The quality of the Warthog is not as good as it was worth double the price. But the biggest downsides of the X56 are worth, not even trying it. If people have no money, go and buy T.Flight HOTAS X for 60€. I had that thing for years, playing Operation Flashpoint and ArmA with it. Playing F-15C with HOTAS X in DCS could be 60€+7,49$ fun, too. But trying to play F-15E for 220€+63.99$ with the X56 could be a nightmare at some point. If I have 63,99$ for F-15E, I can get myself some 449€ Warthog * Quality issues: - Self moving throttle (could not hold its own position because of bad constructed brake) - mini joysticks wandering around because of bad centering. - one mini joystick keep sticking in position (not recentering) after moving it all way to the left - bad Joystick centering because of silly spring construction, causing the plane to always turn (when programming a big deadzone, you will have problems with low sensitivity while adjusting your flight) - really unnecessary big Stick-Base. It is as big as the throttle base but has no real use for that. You cannot get the stick between your legs when you want to use it as center stick and there are no official extensions for the stick. Also, the base is a bit light for keeping in position when using it on your desk and if you got both (throttle and stick) on your desk, you may not have any more space for stuff like keyboard.

But wasn't GB using the GR.1(A) and GR.3 in the Falklands war? As i can see this version never got an AA Radar. Just with the knowledge of that war, Royal Airforce began to put Radars into Harriers for Sea Harrier FA.2 in 1988, some years after the Falkland war?

I cannot agree with your thoughts on Meta Quest, because the headsets do as good with Meta as they did with Oculus (maybe even better. Today Hand tracking and app support are on a whole new level and I tell you by starting my VR life with Oculus DK2), just with the fact that there now is a big investor who pushes the success of VR with its own interests and this is good for the whole world of VR. But that is an other topic, quest 3 is the best you can buy for good money (because everything above is 200%-500% of the Q3 price) and is way better than G2 (my own experience given) in case of GPU: I used 3090 and now 4090. The 40th generation gives a huge performance boost, due to new driver Technologie that could not reached by 20th and 30th. So everything below 40XX is burned money because 3080 and 3090 is too expensive if you do not buy old used cards by people in the internet and everything below 3080 is not good for DCS (I tried 2070 and 3070 myself and it was terrible bad compared to what 3090+ gave me). Since the 4070 is nearly the raw performance of 3080 and has lower price, I would go with that or higher.

What cable issue? you mean the fact that there was some kind of problem with AMD Grafic cards, so everyone got a new cable for free that works fine? my G2 never had any problems with the cable and works like on day one

The 10700k is not the problem. I got the same one in standard configuration. I had the 3090 and upgraded it to 4090 not because it ran bad, more or less Luxus problems. Yes, the performance is way better with 4090 but It would be far to say that the 3090 did not work. With DLSS it should work fine. i would point out the headset because you need to much supersampling to compensate the low pixeldensity. back than I Switched from Quest1 to quest 2 (lend by a friend to test) and instantly had better performance because of the higher native resolution. As a result, I switched to HP Reverb G2 and again the performance per resolution/clarity rises. so either you get yourself a cheap G2 die to people selling them with the upcoming Q3 and keep your Q2 for good old VR only games that need good controllertracking (the G2 is terrible in controller tracking) or you directly switch to the Q3 and get the best out of ~600€ you can get at the moment. since I have the G2 and Q3, I would prefer the Q3 but at the moment, the prices of used but good G2 headsets should drop now. Maybe ask someone here in the Q3 Threads if he wants to sell his old one. a new CPU will bring the least performance and will cost the most (price/performance) because you need a new socket and may want to upgrade RAM, too. new GPU will be the most expensive but won’t bring quality of life due to the low resolution per eye on Quest 2

Because I do not think that your question was directly answered: Don’t worry! I came from G2 and got to Q3. I had problems first that got fixed by setting it up correctly with the Help of Dogmanbird and others here in the Thead and now the visual are almost clear and not just a sweetspot but most of the FOV is nearly as shape as the tiny sweetspot on the G2. Most of MFD visual clearness got lost by DLSS since 2.9 and with this better performance I have to lean in a little on both devices to not have the ghosting but it is just the ghosting that annoys, otherwise it would be clear. I never tested in F16 just in F/A18 and AV8B. Since you sit closer to the MFDs in F16 you may have even better view in Q3 because the FOV is wider and you not have to turn your head. I am all in all surprised by the Q3, I won’t go back to my G2. I just keep the G2 in case my girlfriend wants to play beatsaber in the same time, I want to play DCS because the G2 still is a good headset. Just not as good as the new Q3. Behind my meta account there is an extra Facebook account linked and I think this link is needed. But since this account is separate and I have no contacts or information in there, it is the same as if you need a PICO/Steam/Pimax account
