Résumé : La promo de fin d'année est encore accessible Il est possible de tester ce week-end gratuitement le gros chat qui ronronne fort Les nouveauté récentes (TWS des p'tits nouveaux chalumeaux, cockpit relifté du papi A-10, carte Normandie revue) débarquent sur la branche Stable Des nouveaux joujous bientôt pour les amateurs de vieilleries Attention au danger, y'a des vidéos qui font rire, rêver ou autre Bonne lecture, et bonne fin d'année à tou(te)s !

Bonjour, Histoire d'agrémenter les fêtes de fin d'année, l'équipe de localisation francophone de DCS est heureuse de vous annoncer la mise à disposition de deux nouveaux manuels de vol traduits en français dans DCS, et la mise à jour d'un 3e : :pilotfly: Manuel de vol du Spitfire Mk IX : Format PDF, 215 pages. Fichier DCS Spitfire IX Flight Manual FR.pdf disponible dans \Mods\aircraft\SpitfireLFMkIX\Doc Manuel de vol du L-39 Albatros : Format PDF, 300 pages. Fichier DCS_L-39_Flight_Manual_FR.pdf disponible dans \Mods\aircraft\L-39C\Doc Manuel de vol "Guide Accès Anticipé" du F/A-18C Hornet (3e édition) : Format PDF, 305 pages (contre 160 dans sa 1ère édition). Fichier DCS FA-18C Early Access Guide FR.pdf disponible dans \Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Doc. NB : tout comme l'avion lui-même, le manuel est "incomplet" ; il décrit les systèmes implémentés à date, et est destiné à évoluer au fur et à mesure de la période d'accès anticipé, en parallèle du module lui-même ; si vous songiez à l'imprimer, je vous conseille de patienter. Ces manuels sont inclus à partir de DCS 2.5.5.41371 disponible en OpenBeta à ce jour. Ils seront bien sûr également distribués via mise à jour automatique sur la branche Stable/Release lors de la prochaine mise à jour de celle-ci. Bonne lecture ! :) L'équipe de traduction francophone : Cameleon33, Vince, Boulling, MarcSupilami, Caramel, Vascocap, Erforce, et Azrayen. PS : Si votre DCS n'est pas paramétré sur la langue française, z'allez rien voir, forcément. Ô joie, vous pouvez toutefois modifier la langue de référence de DCS en suivant ce tuto (pas pour versions Steam).

Bonjour aux simmers francophones, Voici le bulletin du jour. Résumé : Des prix doux comme Minidou pour les frimas Une très grosse mise à jour de l'Open Beta, rivalisant en taille avec une dinde farcie Un concours de vidéos pour occuper les soirées au coin du feu, votez ! Une nouvelle campagne qui vous ferait prendre vos guirlandes pour MiG Alley La Normandie qui se fait bien plus belle à tant d'égards Même les anciens se relookent, le A-10C et le Ka-50 font cockpit neuf Bonne lecture, et un joyeux Noël à toutes et tous !

The current manual is in your DCS installation, under mods/aircraft/M-2000C/doc Same principle for all DCS modules, by the way.

Hi, You're confused and this is normal: there has been 2 variants of the throttle. The old one was modelized in the module early versions, and was described in the first version of the flight manual. This old throttle was a reality on old 2000C variant, such as the RDM-equipped aircraft. The new throttle is the current one IRL, for RDI-equipped aircraft. It's now (and for a long time in DCS) modelized in the module and in the current version of the flight manual (see page 30). The new throttle is recognizable by a base with more width, and more buttons on its aft-facing face. When switching from old to new throttle, several other changes (buttons related features) were modified too. About your question regarding paddles: Only the fire button (1) on your image has a paddle that you have to flip. It's not meant to give 2 different functions, it's meant as a supplementary security mechanism = you have to flip the paddle before being able to use the "fire" trigger. This is automated in DCS (you see the flipping paddle move but there is no specific command for it). Note that this command was modified: previously it was only for guns (cannons); now it's for all weapons. About other questions marks on the same image: (2) on your image is not yet fully implemented in DCS. It works for the vertical nav update, but we don't have yet the ability to change the Magic scan pattern (only the axial pattern is available at this time). (3) on your image is the trim hat; it works as such when the AP is off or in standby. It works as an order for the AP when it's on (green). Described in more details in the current manual. No paddles here, the 2 functions depends on the AP status. (4) on your image BRM is an old feature. It's short for Bombes-Roquettes-Missiles as originally those weapons had a different trigger than the guns. Now the trigger is unique and called MICROB for MIssiles-Canons-ROquettes-Bombes. This button is now used for the programmed chaff and/or flares launch. (5) on your image This "hat" is the special modes command (by the way: no, "SNA" doesn't mean "PCA"; it's short for Système de Navigation et d'Armement). The commands are the "Weapons System CMD" ones in DCS. (6) on your image = same as (1) (7) on your image no questions (8 ) on your image was a radio button at the time of the old throttle, but is now a button allowing to switch between PID and PIC locks. (9) and (10) on your image no questions ++ Az'

Then the mission itself needs redesign. I rarely used the feature when it was available, but then for an example such as the one above I was adamant with missions makers that they should place a valley entrance waypoint, a valley exit waypoint, and a briefing instruction like "follow the valley between points X and Y". ++ Az'

Indeed, and that in essence is kinda an issue, isn't it?

Nope. The old box was indeed linked to the Eclair pod (IRL) and was part of the Standard 4 (for example: ex FAF Mirage sold to Brazil as F2000 were S4s) The new cockpit is more representative of the (current) Standard 5 in the FAF.

Gave it a try yesterday and am now in a position to confirm that shutting down the radar (to PCH or Off, SIL is not enough) also allowed two mates and me to get our FPS back while still enjoying the radioaltimeter to land back at Khasab.

Interesting. This suggests an interaction between radio altimeter and radar (code-wise) that could help understand hence solve the bug. Will certainly try to shut off the radar next time it happens to me, so far I've only tried to shut off the radio altimeter.

Also... pardon my French :D Close formation (Patrouille Serrée / PS) 1/ Vertical spacing (étagement): The #2 must see both the extrados (upper surface) and the intrados (under surface) of the leader's wing 2/ Fore and aft spacing (retrait): The #2 sees the leader's engine nozzle as an elongated oval 3/ Lateral spacing (écartement): The #2 aligns the leader's wingtip (nav light/EW antenna) with the scoop just above the root of the wing. ++ Az'

Here you go

I'll guess that, as always, a DCS version containing a fix will eventually become available on the stable/release branch :)

:D:D :pilotfly: :thumbup:

BIP (French) = BEEP (English) :)

En effet, mais pas (encore) publié via DCS ? Je vérifie avec Caramel où ça en est. Oui. La source "principale" est la publication via DCS World directement (ce qui permet d'ailleurs d'avoir les éventuelles mises à jour du manuel via la mise à jour du simu lui-même). NB : Tanuki évoque le manuel de démarrage rapide d'une trentaine de pages. Pas le même doc que le manuel de vol que nous devons publier. ++ Az'

I'm sorry but no. Alignment requires the platform (i.e. the aircraft) to be stationnary. Alignment is a process where, knowing that the aircraft is stationnary, the various gyroscopes of the INU will align themselves with the (true) north, by sensing the acceleration due to Earth rotation on itself. During alignment (IRL): no aircraft "shaking" = no weapons mounting, if possible (GPU available) no engine running... and so on. In the air, you may correct the position by doing a position update. This process only introduces an offset term (on all 3 axis) to the position "sensed" by the INU. This process does not make the various gyroscopes align with the north. Hence it's called a position update, not an alignment. Regards, Az'

K1/K2 is a conception bug. Don't think about it, to be corrected. CAS button should display S/P like others. The word displayed is TIR (no "e"). Also, not at Max range but at "best chance of kill" range (btw no, it's not a real no escape range, but you may think of it as such).

See bug thread about radioaltimeter.

Yeah +1 A C2 asset should indeed relay data between incompatible networks.

Alignment is not correct (term). Position update is what you're talking about. Yes, it serves the purpose of being accurate too, but the process involved (technically) is very distinct. ;)

In fact all external headlights lack "power" now: Landing/taxi lights Refuel light Probe light Police light (+ is broken now)

J'ai fait ça sans souci pour le manipulateur radar (mini stick) afin de le rendre utilisable (ni trop ni trop peu sensible).

Clearly. Just like IRL. Why ignoring a failure/abnormal situation indication? Want to die/respawn young?

Ne nous tentez pas... :P
