That's fly-by-wire. The FCS manages all control surfaces for you, the faster you fly, the less the rudder input is allowed to prevent departure from controlled flight. If you are slow and rudder input is beneficial/not dangerous FCS allows for greater deflection.
-
Oh, and as for Multiplayer, just look for Public Servers that offer Training areas, or groups that fly more casual.
There is more to MP than just Virtual Squadrons. You can get in touch with people, find like minded and host your own session,as well.

If you are comfortable with a little bit more generic "immersion" but fancy more random targets etc. You may want to have a look into "DCS briefing room". It is an open source addition to DCS by some community members and is basically an enhanced "Fast Mission Generator".
It is a separate tool that creates mission files (.MIZ) with highly customizable options. Not unlike the Mission generator in DCS, but with far more details and different Mission types from A-FAC for artillery strikes to CSAR, interdiction, search and destroy (Kill Box), ground convoy intercepts and recon... With the option to hide enemy units on the map and options for AI SEAD and CAP flights it works well for single player and multiplayer even if you fly strikes or CAS.

Mit zunehmender Geschwindigkeit, steigt doch sowohl der Roll-, als auch der Luftwiderstand. Das führt irgendwann dazu, dass irgendwann das Flugzeug nicht mehr beschleunigt. Jetzt ist hier in DCS aber Idle Schub so hoch, dass das Flugzeug wohl auch auf 100+Knoten kommt und das halte ich für unwahrscheinlich. Aber wie gesagt, ein echtes "Problem" ist das ja nicht wirklich.
Der Rollwiderstand ist konstant, der Luftwiderstand identisch zu "in der Luft". Einmal aus dem Ruhezustand (Massebeharrung) nimmt weder Rollwiderstand zu, noch wirkt sich der Luftwiderstand grossartig anders aus als im Tiefflug. In Summe beschleunigt die Masse, bis du bremst oder der Luftwiderstand die Energie des Schubs erreicht. Wie gesagt, stell dir ein Auto vor, Gang raus und dann rollst du es an und ein flaches, endloses Gefälle herunter. Es wird immer schneller rollen bis du bremst, einkuppelst oder es anderweitig gebremst wird. Rollt es auf eine Waagerechte, bremst der Rollwiderstand es langsam und gleichmäßig ab, bis zum Stillstand.

Es geht ja nicht darum, dass sie rollt, sondern darum, wie stark sie im Idle beschleunigt und welche Geschwindigkeit sie erreicht... Und wie gesagt, schau Dir Videos an und zähle mal mit, wie viele Piloten tatsächlich mit mehr als 10° Nozzles rollen
. Hier in DCS nehme ich bei 10° einfach die Parkbremse raus und stelle die Nozzles dann sofort auf 60°, um überhaupt vernünftig zu rollen. Es besteht keine Notwendigkeit, kurz mal ein wenig Leistung zu erhöhen.
Am Ende des Tages ist das aber keine große Sache, da wir hier ja eh nicht mit Dingen wie Bremsenverschleiß zu tun haben.Was begrenzt denn die Endgeschwindigkeit? Wie schnell wird denn eine kontinuierlich beschleunigte Masse, ohne entgegen wirkende Kräfte? ...wobei ich auch denke der Schub ist etwas heftig, aber letztlich bremst nur Roll- und Luftwiderstand, solange niemand auf die Bremse tritt.
-
Bin zwar kein Harrier Pilot, aber ich denke im Handbuch steht nicht grundlos "45°-60°". Es ist für uns nur so ein krasser Unterschied, weil wir seit Jahren gewohnt waren, dass die Harrier quasi am Boden klebt.
Wenn die Masse erstmal in Bewegung ist, bleibt nur noch Rollwiderstand und irgendwann "Luftwiderstand" um die Kiste zu bremsen... Technisch sollte das nichts anderes sein, als ein Auto am Hang ungebremst anzuschubsen und dann wird es immer weiter Fahrt aufnehmen, wenn es einmal rollt, ausser irgendwas bremst.

Not a fan of changing things for the minority dude! If it were easy, it would just be the way.
Me neither, but I am a big fan of options so we can tailor the individual experience.
For example if somebody decides to have a larger, more relaxed "contact"-box, just to counter the 70 EUR Joystick and mouse button fight, I can see no real issue, even in MP.
As an option you can simply switch it to full real, like "easy comms" or "rudder assist".

The issue is the time required to practice vs frustration instead of enjoyment. Whereas IRL the Pilot uses peripheral vision, his inner ear (natural accelerometer) and operates the switches by feel... Especially the radios with a button and talking, in DCS we cope with the "realistic" difficulty, plus a lot of additional problems, like making calls on the keyboard, need to grab the mouse to operate switches, no peripheral vision to hold a picture of the tanker, just a look through a small "screen", no feeling of acceleration or declaration, a tanker that does not communicate turns and a boom operator with a sadistic twist...
Yes, you can learn to do this, as you can see through the people doing it in DCS. No, it isn't as difficult as in real life it is more difficult, takes a lot of precious me-time and is frustrating as hell. So with "Start-up" cheats, "Labels", "Easy comms", etc. what is the problem preventing a simple option to check that creates a larger hitbox for contact, or an "auto-refueling cheat" where the AI takes over and does the refueling or even the "fly inside 300 ft of the tanker and and hold a key" to refuel solution suggested by magman?
The important part is to keep it optional like all the other features.

Edit, achja, der Fred heißt doch "Informationen über WW Geräte. Wann kommen die eigentlich?
Die waren im ersten Post, Info war: WinWing hat keine CE-Zertifizierung was potentiell zu Problemen mit dem Zoll führen kann.
Dieser Hinweis war eigentlich nur gut gemeint und danach ging das Gezanke um "Bei mir war aber nichts" , "Da passiert gar nix", "das stimmt nicht, verklagt den Zoll, dann geht das" und die Aufarbeitung der EU-Einfuhrbestimmungen, Links zu Anwaltskanzleien die sich mit sowas befassen und der tatsächlichen Rechtslage innerhalb der EU, inkl. Österreich... Die Info ist nach wie vor: WinWing ist nicht CE-Zertifiziert, jeder muss für sich die potentiellen Risiken abschätzen.

Wenn, dann behalten sie es nicht, sondern müssen dir als erstes anbieten es auf deine Kosten zurück zu senden..
Wenn du daraufhin nicht reagierst, wandert es erst in die Presse.
Natürlich bleibt dann der fade Beigeschmack, beim evtl. komischen Händler den Betrag zurück zu fordern.
Der Zoll behält es ein, stellt dich vor die Wahl "zurückschicken" oder "vernichten" und stellt dir die jeweiligen Kosten in Rechnung. Wenn der Händler dir den Kaufpreis nach Rücksendung erstattet, hast du "nur" die zweimal Versandkosten in den Wind geschossen? Zumindest nach meinem Kenntnisstand.

Yurgon and Shagrat, both thanks for responding.
I understand that most of the experienced Simmers are focussing on MP but I think that there is still a huge group who are simming solo. And besides that, I think that improvement of AI is not only for the solo simmers, but will also benefit experienced simmers if the quality of response improves. I understand that upgrading AI can be a challenge and time conserving job. But I am convinced that an increase in AI also leads to an increase of the value and attractiveness of DCS.
Anyhow, mimicing my lights settings makes it mor realistic and that's what I like.
That has nothing to do with MP vs. SP... AI is part of MP as much as any campaign think of ground vehicles, escort, SEAD, CAP if you fly a strike with a buddy or group of less than 8 people, even worse, in MP the mission usually develops a dynamic that's hard to predict, so the AI needs to adapt and support you instead of flying WP and reacting on Triggers.
In the past AI mimicked your settings as part of your flight (SP and MP). If it is not it is either a bug or something in the mission...

@Weasel Ja, das kam mir dann auch, als dstar geschrieben hat, dass da nicht mal ein 220Volt Anschluss dran ist. Der Typ mit seiner Wikipedia Weisheit hat mich so kirre gemacht, dass ich nicht mehr dran gedacht habe, dass das Wining ja nur ein HOTAS ist.
Was im Zusammenhang mit der ROHS Konformität, Produktsicherheit, Umweltschutzverordnungen etc. die ebenfalls durch die CE-Zertifizierung "nachgewiesen" werden, irrelevant ist.
CE-Zertifizierung ist nicht nur "Strom".
Sollte dich der Zollbeamte also beispielsweise fragen ob die Lötstellen CE-konform mit bleifreiem Lot gelötet wurden, hast du hoffentlich ne Antwort parat.
Wie in diesem Thread dutzendfach erwähnt, geht es nicht darum "wie wahrscheinlich es ist", dass der Zoll nach dem CE-Zeichen schaut, oder ob es bei "mir", "dir", oder "allen" bis jetzt nicht passiert ist, sondern, dass es jederzeit passieren kann, wenn der Beamte einen schlechten Tag hat und du nicht viel dagegen tun kannst.
Meine Erfahrungen mit dem Zoll sind auch eher positiv, aber es sollte sich halt jeder des Risikos bewusst sein.
Ich denke keiner möchte der erste sein der hier postet "Bei mir wollten sie ne CE Zertifizierung sehen und haben es einbehalten, jetzt soll ich noch wahlweise für die Rücksendung oder Vernichtung zahlen."... Statistisch wird es irgendwann, irgendwen treffen, auch wenn es unwahrscheinlich ist.

As far as I know it makes no difference within DCS whether the lighting is switched off or not,
It is modeled. It enhances enemy AI chance of detecting an aircraft (at night and day). As Yurgon stated AI should mimic your lights setting.
The critical part with detection is, if AI spotted your wingman/men they will focus on finding additional planes which enhances the factor for spotting you tremendously.
I need to check how AI is doing the lights management, as I rarely fly with AI these days (more MP).

The hackers are no longer interested in win7 anyway. |They are all going for win10.
That's a interesting misconception. The Windows Sources are usually sharing a lot of potential bugs and exploits often work on multiple Windows versions. That's why MS decided recently to even fix a very critical issue in Windows XP along with the newer OS versions, despite they didn't have to... Other exploits or maybe less critical are simply ignored... So for hackers any new "fix" documented for Windows 10 could potentially be still exploitable in Windows 7 or XP and if they find a new exploit, chances are good, it works fine for Windows 7, as well.
Your next ransom ware or trojan will not check the Windows version and decide to not exploit a bug, just because Windows 7 is old. It will unanonimously exploit ANY vulnerable system.

Hm, hat hier noch jemand CTD's mit der Harrier seit dem letzten Patch? Es ist mir jetzt mehrmals passiert das ich mit einem mal wieder auf Startposition stand und DCs dabei gecrashed ist. Bei unterschiedlichen Situationen, Sidearmtraining und der letzte im Landeanflug als ich auf dem EHSD grade auf scale gedrückt hatte.
Edit: crashed auch wenn ich einfach nur am Boden stehe
Aus dem log:
2021-01-28 17:22:15.920 ERROR GRAPHICSVISTA: Can't open model ATMZ-5_P_1.
2021-01-28 17:22:22.982 INFO EDCORE: try to write dump informationIst das ein Absturzgrund?
CTD sieht nach dem KI Tankfahrzeug aus. Versuch mal ein DCS Repair.
Zu dem EHSD heading, da war ne Änderung in den letzen Updates. Ich bin noch nicht dazu gekommen den Harrier zu fliegen seit Mittwoch, aber grundsätzlich kannst du True oder Magnetic wählen. Ich meine im A/G mode wird automatisch true(?) eingestellt, aber nagel mich nicht drauf fest. Müsste ich ausprobieren/nachlesen.
Das kann aber evtl. die Ursache für dein Problem sein.

And I've been wishing for such a tool for many years, never knowing it already existed. Thanks so much for the link!
Oh my, the best feature is the option to deinstall USB device drivers from USB-sticks, that blocked certain USB-sticks Windows "thinks" have the same controller chip, but actually don't.
Neat little tool.

But he still doesn't inform here about future.
LIke did he start a new thread here about this:
4:56 AM] RAZBAM_ELMO:
next patch to OB is on the 27th, next patch after that wont be till march ish when DCS goes from 2.6.X to 2.7.Xor
[1:23 AM] RAZBAM_ELMO:
When I know all of the fixes submitted into Closed Beta work and function and there's no glaring issues with them then I will post the draft list of expected fixes submitted to EDor12:25 AM] RAZBAM_ELMO:
patch was finallied last week. All this is for the march patch.Yep, that's what I already agreed upon. It would be nice to have a regular update on the things currently worked on and what's to come every 4 to 8 weeks here on the forum.

"Giving a personal assistance over VoIP? NOT A SOLUTION FOR EVERYONE ELSE!"
That's not what he does, he speeds up identification of bugs by going through the procedure and reports with the people experiencing "odd issues" to sort out user error instead of taking 3 days worth of posts back and forth... So he can quickly sort out the actual bugs and send them to the devs, ED etc.
Bug reports here are now getting marked accordingly etc.
I can't see anything bad in that process, sorry.

If you would read, you would understand.
It is not difficult to do same thing as ED has done. As ED has given them all the powers and all the tools:
It is not difficult really. They have a closed thread, where they will add a post with same manner and keep it closed.
It is clean, it is single place for starting that what was done and when, and easy to follow right here.
Not to this thread, but have own dedicated thread.
Similar one can be done that would be posted when ever the new information and plans etc are coming up randomly between main roadmap.
Like "We are testing now for the 2.7 update coming at March that we would get AGR-20 / APKWS implemented" with the screenshots. Close the thread again so no discussion.
Then have own official Roadmap with the large priorities.
Again, should be closed to keep it tidy and clean.
Update it when ever new information comes up that some status changes, like feature X moves from Q2 to Q3 or is halted for the information research.
Razbam could even make a own dedicated screenshot/video thread that is closed. Post there all the screenshots and videos like some forum members does here:
But that would be the place that Razbam use as source for their other marketing purposes like their facebook.
Read again, that is not a rumor.
It is my personal point that when developers DOES NOT inform customers IN THE OFFICIAL FORUM about the up coming features, plans and such before other channels, they will create a silence and lack of information to their customers - other than the few who are going to sit in a Discord all day long or check facebook page or what ever, to get informed.
When there are no news, it becomes same thing as no future plans or development. It is a signal that things are halted.
And if anyone looks the Razbam behavior in the past few years, they have basically done nothing for very long times and ignoring huge efforts that some customers has done like the Community Bug Tracker.
If Razbam wants to show that there is progress going on, they need to show it. They need to come out and start posting ASAP everything that there is going on - on each corresponding module forum.
Like look what the Mr. Wags does:
https://www.youtube.com/c/MattWagner/playlists
And those are released here as well.
Eagle Dynamics does wonderful work by reporting and keeping their customers on the loop.
Sure it does take time to do those videos, but that is not demanded here. But a normal programmers daily tasks, that is to keep a To-Do lists, keep log that what was completed on the day/week, what are to be done for the next update etc. It literally can be just a 5 min a week to write a summary and plans.
Actually there is a obligation for the good public relationship. If you do not do that, then do not come to call people toxic or that there are rumors or something when you don't inform anyone that what is happening but go silent for months or years.
In the end it can be just a one post that is updated in time. Just like the above "Hornet Features Roadmap 2020" that gives people easy means to check out what is to be done etc.
No promises, as just "We are trying to do this" is far better than "-------".
As I said before, I would like consistent update thread with regular monthly/two monthly info from Elmo, as well, but that is different from "implicating the development is frozen". At least in my understanding "frozen" would mean "no more development and work commencing" and that for a fact is not true.

What could I possibly hide? The fact RAZBAM_ELMO being active in this very Harrier forum two days ago despite your implication otherwise? As for the notion to have regular info here, did you read my posts?

Can you please pull up from the Razbam discord the disussion about the bug of TPOD designation randomly jumping around, it was discussed about 3-5 months ago.
Thank you....
Discord isn't a bug tracking tool. Bug section is here in the forum and as I pointed out before actively (as in two days ago/yesterday) used to monitor bugs and give feedback... Again, you try to discredit Razbam to satisfy your grief?

Those are few and rare that really happens. And talking on the market to someone who has problems doesn't help others at the other time, or those who are not at the market.
And when someone focuses so heavily in the small place, where information is lost right there, it doesn't help anyone else ever.
Why all the help etc should be directed to this forum, centralized so that people come here to seek help, to search answers and to share information. And the minimal effort is require to get information to maximum potential and stored for the future reasons.
It is just annoying for some that they couldn't hide the unpleasant questions and try to control who can talk about what.
Yes, but what has this to do with "silence indicating a frozen project"?
I get that you wish for Razbam to post status reports here in this very thread or at least on the forum. I would appreciate this as well.
Where I beg to differ is, if spreading rumors about "frozen development" to bribe Razbam into action to satisfy your expectations is the best way to communicate that desire for regular updates in a specific place.
Again, I would like to see RAZBAM_ELMO posting a little "what we do currently. What's still in the pipeline or has been added to the list" regularly every 4 to 8 weeks here, but it is Razbam's decision in the end and there is no obligation to do so, just that it is a good practice in the first place.
DCS.exe - System Error
in Installation Problems
Posted
In your C:/Program files/Eagle Dynamics/DCS World/distr/ folder should be two vc_redist.x64.exe.
These will install the Visual C libraries, required, though I am not sure, why it did not launch them during install in your case.
After the runtime libraries are installed it should work.
