Humbug

And is this a military aircraft where the pilot's life or death depends on being able to spot tiny dots in the sky? No it's not, so I don't see how it's in any way relevant. And even in this aerobatic aircraft I don't see any of the sandpaper effect that plagues the Mig-21 in DCS. I would expect this kind of immature response from a random forum member, but not from a dev. It immediately turns me off from purchasing or recommending the purchase of any future products from this developer, to be honest.

Doesn't work with the WH throttle detent as previously mentioned. This curve places the spot for switching from full mil to AB behind the physical detent on the throttle which is problematic. Especially when wanting to cat-launch from the carrier in full mil.

Thanks a bunch LeCuvier, your presence in this thread is really helpful for a lot of people. :thumbup: On another note, would it be possible to make the forward position of the speedbreak switch (above the boatswitch on the WH throttle) continuously activate over and over instead of just the button being held down?

Did anyone manage to turn their Radar Alt switch on the Warthog throttle into having Baro in the up position and Radar in the down position?

Maybe not a huge deal since I can't see much of a tactical advantage to landing on a skyscraper, but still. It ought to be fixed. And no, I'm not hovering. Throttle is 0.

How do you figure out what the module name should be? I've tried all sorts of combinations in order to manually install the Ka-50 but none of them work.

I know how it feels. I recently upgraded from a 5 year old computer as well (gfx card was about 1 year) and I went from 20 something fps with a lot of stutters to constant 60 fps and the difference is simply amazing. I instantly become a much better pilot just from that alone. My wallet still hurts but it was absolutely worth it. Once you get to play the game completely smoothly you just can't understand how you could stand the low fps and stutters that you had gotten so used to. Looking forward to more flanker footage from you!

It's a nice video, but unfortunately made a lot less enjoyable by the fairly heavy fps drops. Hoping you can get those sorted and it would be great to see more videos from you.

While this does work it also means I keep getting a nag screen for inputting an activation key every time I start a mission.

3 years later and this is still not possible. I used SST programming until now to get around this issue but since switching to a new computer it doesn't work properly anymore. I can still use key presses bound to my POV switch to slew the shkval but for some reason it is much slower than normal and therefore unusable. Please ED give us proper diagonal slew controls!

Mission attached. Weapons Training MA-1.5.miz

Hate is a strong word to use without any further explanation as to the reason of said emotion.

As the title implies I (as server host) get a script error the exact moment somebody drops a slingload. Tested multiple times and it always coincides with sling load drop. Before actually putting sling loads in this mission I have never seen a script error before. A copy of the mission I'm using can be provided if that would help bug tracking. Here's a screenshot of the error in question:

Same problem here in the Su-27 campaign. Wingman constantly switching between afterburners and airbrakes just to stay in formation even when I'm cruising at medium speeds resulting in him being out of fuel when I still have more than enough.

Before you know it you'll own every module and expensive piece of gear there is and wonder where all your money went. :)

I'm guessing it's not possible to restrict some groups for activation by radio to a certain coalition? I wanted to make it so red side can only activate blue fighters and vice versa. If not then I'd at least want to separate the red and blue fighter groups to different radio submenus in order to make it easier to navigate. Is this possible? Also, thanks for your great script.

You can however set the auto-pilot to route mode while you scan around. Depending on the situation you should also use the IRST liberally (Infra-Red Search and Track) instead of the radar in order to stay undetected by the enemy. This in combination with the R-27ET missile is a great way of giving a bandit little to no chance to react and defend your missile.

Friendly contacts will show up as a double rowed dotted line. Bogeys as a single dotted line. The length of the line depends on the size of the contact. Many smaller contacts close enough together can also AFAIK show up as a single, bigger contact. You don't need to have access to an AWACS in order for contacts to show up in your MFD. If you lock something up, that single contact will show up on your MFD, or if you use TWS mode then all visible contacts will show. The RWR is also quite a different and analog beast in the ruskie planes. Not as easy to grasp and probably not as good as the american one, but it can certainly be used if you learn how to read it.

Anybody else noticed that the third mission in the Fortress Mozdok campaign is broken in 1.2.7? I escort the Su-25's and shoot down the three F-16's, but when I use the radio menu to tell the Su-25's to attack the ground targets they'll fly over there and only do one half hearted attack run, max. Then they just leave and RTB, leaving a big blob of artillery and tanks behind, preventing me from mission success. My Su-27 isn't equipped to take on ground targets either. I have a tacview file if that helps, but I'm guessing it's just a script error in the mission itself. Also I noticed there's no bug forum for FC3 yet.

Doesn't sound likely that he'd actually flip any extra buttons I haven't told him about rather than forget one, but I'll keep this in mind the next time we try, thanks! Edit: Right, I forgot about that, so that's not it either. Damnit.

Hi. A squadmate of mine bought the Ka-50 today and I was showing him the ropes. Once we got to firing the vikhr's he encountered a problem that I haven't once run into during all my time flying this bird (few months after the release of Black Shark 1), namely his vikhr pylons refused to align themselves vertically which forced him to raise the nose of his helo in order to fire. His K-041 and Weapon system switches were both on. I went through the entire startup process with him multiple times and my vikhr pylons would move just fine but his wouldn't. He could lock up the schkval and fire the vikhrs if he moved the sight manually but the sight itself was locked in place. The 4 or 5 other squadmates that were on TS at the time didn't know either. The only suggestions were K-041 and Wsys, but with the former off your schkval isn't even on and with the latter you won't get a fire confirmation. A search both on here and on google comes up empty. It's probably something obvious that he somehow missed, but I'll be darned if I can figure out what. Help please!

Same problem! I just bought Mi-8 on the official page and now when I start DCS: World to activate my copy the module manager claims my login/password to be incorrect, which they are certainly NOT! I have triple checked and even changed my password and tried to enter the new one immediately several times which didn't work either. What gives?

Noticed this as well. The Shark can rearm and refuel just fine on the FARP I placed but the Hueys can't even get in contact with the ground crew.

Hear hear. Please allow us to simply enter the key.
