Swiss-Sim

@ fat creason O.K i got you. But can this happen in a real F-14? Just asking, because this is interesting. HeatBlur made this Module so real, that all other programs can't catch it. Btw: i was looking some older F-14 YT Videos and found one, he is a retired F-14 Pilot (not RIO) and he shows some Video from his time. I read some comments, one guy asked, how good is the DCS F-14, and this guy answered him, Quote from the comment: "I do fly DCS--the F-14 is incredibly true to life! Don't feel bad--it's very tough to land on the boat even in the best of circumstances"

Yes, but as you can see in my picture, i am not flying. I also tried it on normal runway. Why sometimes it shows 30 Units AOA if i am not flying? Maybe you misunderstood me this time. How the HF8 Pad guys can fix this issue? The HF8 simply reacts to the AOA Indexer, so the question is, why the F-14 sometimes shows on the ground 30 Units AOA? I am not an engineer, but according to my logical understanding, when an aircraft is on the ground, the AOA should not show max 30 Units, or i am wrong? You don't have to fix that, I can live with this issue, I simply deactivate the stall setting on my HF8 Pad. But this may be a bug on your product. Maybe you should check this issue, Start from somewhere and then land and check the AOA indexer. This doesn't happen every time, but it happen often, like the last time on the deck. That's it from my side. Thank you

Hey, no, I added there Glitch Effects! I like those glitch effects, but for sure not everybody like that.

@ Rudel_chw thank you, i will check this now! @ Gomez Adams thank you for that! I just created my own "loading-window" image in 4K and i want to share it, for those who need a higher image. Thanks EDIT: 3440 x 1440

Damn looks very nice, but its only 1920x1080, in my case it will not be sharp, because of the low res. Do you have it in higher resolution, maybe? If not, i have to do it again. Can you maybe share those two images left and right, i would use those in higher res. image... if possbile. thanks

Somehow, only the music won't work. I added it in ....\Saved Games\DCS\MissionEditor\themes\main\Sounds\EditorMusic and when i start DCS it plays the default soundtrack. Any ideas?

I was not aware of that, thank you for this hint. I just did it as you described and it works fine. I will add the Top Gun intro music as well Thank you

Hello there, I was searching for Tomcat Wallpapers in 3440 x 1440 resolution, because when I start DCS, the default image from HeatBlur looks not good, since I have a big monitor. Then I started searching all kind of Wallpapers, but there is none in my Resolution, at least there were some, but not high res. I just did some by myself, and if you have the same issue, feel free to use mine. Put the Wallpaper in ...\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\F14\Skins\ME and just rename it in " base-menu-window " Have a great time

Hey guys again, from the support i did not receive any answer, since then, i thought, i will investigate this issue by myself, and it may be a bug. When i land with the F-14 sometimes the AOA goes to max 30 AOA and stay there. I sometimes noticed after landing, the AOA turns again to normal (as it should). And now i understand, why the HF8 Pad vibrates crazy after landing if STALL is activated. Now my question: After Landing, the AOA Indexer should go back, right? If yes then we have here a bug.

Hello Silhou, that's the answer I wanted to hear, because i was not sure where i should address my issue. Thats fine, thank you

Hello there, I have a strange issue with the Next Level Racing Haptic Feedback System HF8. When I land the F-14 and turn the engines OFF, the HF8 start vibrating as hell, even if the engines are down. When the Engines are on, works fine, only when I shut down the two engines, it activates the vibration, and it does not stop. Then I looked in my HF8 Profile, what kind of vibrations has been activated. And it is the STALL, but when i land and shut down the engines, there is no stall, LOL. When I deactivate completely STALL, then the vibration is gone. I have no idea, where i should report this, to you guys ED/Heatblur or to the HF8 guys... Thanks

Alles richtig eingestellt, habe es mit meinem Bruder getestet, sonst würde ja nichts mehr funktionieren, falle eben etwas nicht korrekt eingestellt. Alles läuft top, ausser das mich mein Bruder nicht hört, sondern ich mich selber reden höre, als ob ich zu mir selber reden würde. Ich lasse es einfach sein, sonst werde ich über Discord kommunizieren. Finde es schade!

By the way, the first time it worked, my back hurt. Those vibrations are extremely hard. After that I went in my bed, it was painful. Not even e real aircraft would vibrate like that, now i know how 9G feels like LOL. Since I adjusted it to minimal vibration, now it feels comfortable and "realistic". The F-14 have great visual vibrations, and now i can also feel the jet better, it was a good choice to get this pad.

Well, in my case, it's strange. When I start it with the F-18, it works immediately. When I start my F-14 then it takes some seconds, maybe 15 to 25 Seconds and then it works. I dont know why, but yes it works with the HF8 Software. Can you show me your profile? I did my own, but i want to make it better.

Jap alle schon gecheckt. Ich denke, ich weiss voran es liegen könnten. Mein Gaming Headset ist via USB angeschlossen, und nicht wie früher mit diesen 3.4" Klinke, das könnte es sein. Wie ist es bei dir angeschlossen, auch via USB?

Hello there, I just got my HF8 and as usually, I have issues with it. No wonder, every time I get something new, I have to spend a lot of time and energy. When I saw, that HF8 added DCS World, I just ordered it. And now I have trouble. I tried everything, like: - Started HF8, activated the settings (vibrations) for DCS and started DCS (Latest BETA) start the game, nothing happens - Closed and deactivated HF8, first I started DCS, then I started free flight, then started HF8 again, nothing happens - Rebooted PC, started HF8 as Admin, started DCS as Admin, Free Flight and nothing. Does not matter what I do, it's not working. Does anyone have the HF8 Pad? If yes, how did you accomplish to work with it? Does it even works? What I did not try, is the latest Stable DCS Version. Please guys, if somebody knows something, kindly help me. I searched in Google but nothing there to find, at least I was not able to find a solution. I found a Solution for MFS2020 how to start it: Open MFS2020, Start the Fly, and then you have to start the HF8 Pad, but this doesn't work with DCS. Thank you in advanced

xD When you play 2D with head tracker, you only miss 10% or i am "calculating" wrong? With my big curved screen, i have the same cockpit size like when i was in VR. So - 10% sounds fair. But i understand your point and i would say the same when i was flying with VR.

I have RTX 4090, and it can't handle VR well! I was able to play with 70 FPS stable but i had to reduce VISIB RANGE to low, then i was able to fly even on mariana map. I personally take Graphics over VR, there is no joy when you just have an empty map without those nice effects. With wide 4K monitor, no issues at all. As i know DLSS wont work with VR. Even MFS20 in VR DLSS was not working at all and was way worst then DCS. And as you said, MSAA is FPS killer, i was only able to use MSAA 2X. I hope in 5 or 10 years VR will be optimized well. They should somehow render only one eye and the other eye like a projection from the other rendered eye! This is the issue right now because the GPU have to render double. If you want higher resolution like 4K, your GPU have to render 8K and the GPU just die literally xD.

Do they communicate when they turn to other direction? I can remember, somewhere in YT i heard from a real pilot, that when they fly to the tanker, they dont communicate through radio, but the pilot fly from left to the position where the tanker has visual to the other jet and give sign with hand (something like that). But maybe it depends on which tanker, maybe. But yes, since we play virtual, you made a good point, before the tanker turn, a short warning sound like "we turn left/right" would be very nice.

As i know, those 2 videos are not directly from the game developers. Second, this game is not supported officially, this company even dont exist since +20 years. Third, the actual footage is from a game supported by the community ie. guys who played the original game 20 years ago, and they add new stuff, don't worry, for ED those guys are not a threat, i hope you can sleep better now. I simply dont understand those guys, dont you have to do something better? How i can add something to the wishlist for ED if i just add "make AAR better...." I have two choices: I create my own stuff but i am not able to do so or i show them something what others did. Specially, Developers were inspired by other developers, or how china become so strength? Because we let produce all our electronics by them, so they just copy and paste our electronics, and look now they are the number one in electronics and making robots. So ED can be inspired by those 2 videos and make it even better. Did i compare something here? Because this kind of guys like you exist, we have all kind of troubles and headaches, you make from a mosquito an elephant

What do you mean? Are you saying, that i am not allowed to post a Video from other Sim Game? I posted those Videos to show what i meant and what is possible to do, nothing else. We are adult people here and not kids, remember that please. ED are not idiots, they understand the context. And i mean, nobody from ED Team complained, but you did lol.

Ja ist leider immer noch aktuell das Thema. Bei mir sind die Settings, so wie du es beschrieben hast. Irgendwas ist komisch, komme enttäuschenderweise nicht dahinter. Falls ich das Problem lösen werden, poste ich es hier, für den Fall.

Hello there, i can finally refuel my F-18 and to be honest, the physics in generally are outdated. I always wonder how DCS became such modern Sim, nice graphics, detailed aircraft and at the other side, it seems the devs just forgot something years ago to update. At firs i saw the Eurofighter Typhoon footage in DCS, where they did air refuelling, and that was something awesome. I usually played Falcon 4.0 then later BMS and then when i discovered DCS World i upgraded my PC and i love this Sim. Today i was looking for Air Refuelling videos and i saw one from BMS, i thought, i will click on it just for fun. There is an Mirage but it use the F-16 MFDs etc. Its not a real Mirage. When you look this Video, go to Min. 2:39 and look from there the physics from the basket and even when the basket is connected, you will see the fuel coming out, like in real. I was looking like a mad dog at this video and asked me, why DCS, whyyyyy? At 4:54 you will see after finishing, it will come gas again out, looks amazing man... I hope, ED, you will improve that. I am even thinking about to install BMS again only for this LOL Crazy

I always hear and read the one question: How accurate DCS World is. And i understand the question very well, because i always asked me about this topic and even searched many Sim Videos, where real Pilots flew in DCS and talk about this topic. Then i was trying to understand the position of real Pilots, when we ask them about those questions. Even if i am not a pilot, i did some simply comparison from my life. Here we go: I drive a BMW 523i F10 and i know how the car feels, where all the stuff is and all those buttons. How it feels when i drive, the engine sound etc. You got my point. Now there is a Car Simulator and they added a Mod BMW 523i F10. Now those who never drove this car, they would ask me, if this Car in the Simulator is accurate. Even if everything is animated and looks like the real car, now imagine that: I drive this car in my Computer, i see the accurate visuals provided on the screen, but thats all. If you ask me, how accurate it is, i can only say " well, the 3D model looks very accurate and the sound is almost the same... " But i cant say to you, how real it is, because i have 0% feeling from that simulated car. There is no point at all, because you dont feel the car. Then i realized, how real pilots feel when we ask them to confirm how realistic DCS is. DCS is the most impressive Sim i ever played and i love this Sim. I fly 99% F-18 and i love how "real" this 3D Model looks like, the functions, the systems and for sure they use real data for all that stuff. At this point, DCS is one of the most realistic Sim ever made, but even if DCS simulate all that stuff, at the end we cant feel how it is. And that is the point here: The question of how accurate DCS is, is nonsense! But at least DCS World give us the opportunity, to be a Fighter Pilot, even if its not real, we can taste some % how it is to be a military pilot.
