Blackhawk163

Okay, I got the bug in the Syria mission that "restricts" you to AGM 11K, and no matter what I did, George would not fire a single missile. Not one. Waz over to guns? No problem, so it's not an LOS issue or RTT. Switch over to the L's and no problem, fires away like its handing out candy in Halloween.

So, Syria... Just taking off from the hot ramp mission in the '64 and um... My new favorite just based on the starting location. Stutters a bit for me initially which was jarring as it was the only one that I can think of that has done that. Other than that, it ran great at a DSR scaling resolution of 5461x2880 (1.78x) with DLSS and DLAA and everything set to its maximum save for the chimney smoke and preload (about 7k) between 89-115 fps on my rig. It's green, its sandy colored. It's varied. I like it Sorry to hijack your thread Mark

because of this thread I accidently bought the Sinai when I really wanted Syria, a total lack of paying attention to the details Ah well, took off from the default airfield for the Instant mission and my gosh what I pretty detailed map, so smooth on my rig. So, while initially great, I'm really not into the theater of operations there so that sucks for me I guess lol. In the process of downloading Syria.

Yeah to add on this I have Nevada which I bought primarily for A-10 training missions, the Persian Gulf and “Meh-ganistan” and I will say the Caucuses is my absolute favorite, especially with the aforementioned mods. Syria has my attention, guess I’ll check if they have some coin and CAS missions for the ‘64 and 10

And funnily enough complaining about “complaining.” A message board I used to moderate had a simple rule, you were thread banned for whining/whinging about the contents of the thread as no one forces you to read or post in it. But FOMO and all . . . Anyone know where those down low beauty shots were taken in the trailers? I wanna go there and check it out.

I was going to comment/make a thread on a framerate issue but not a nerfed one, but instead, an improved one. All day yesterday CPU usage was at 40-50% as the GPU was not used at all which I thought was weird. In the Apache, with all settings on their max with the exception of preload (set at 74200) and chimney (5). The resolution set at 3840x2160 DLSS and DLAA with DSR at 1.78x DL with 0 smoothing. In the sole mission, instant flight, in Afghanistan, I was hitting the capped FPS of 115 with no dips while in game. Same for any caucus mission when pre-patch I'd get highs of 115 with lows at 85, post patch it's 110+. But then this morning I noticed I had an option to go up to 5461x2880, and while everything is super sharp and clean, DCS is now reporting about 60% GPU to about 30-40% cpu usage and a solid 115 (the capped amount) fps with zero dips. I'm like what's going on here? Haven't tried rain yet

Gotcha. I’m a try a test range mission to see if I can replicate. The reason why this interests me is that I ran an instant mission yesterday (I think Tiblisi guard) and I had a clear LOS to some tanks and George was like nope. Not knowing anything about this thread I cycled through a couple of times until he would fire. It was super frustrating but luckily the ai wingman bailed me out. After the initial armored column was destroyed there was a column of AA and some trucks that start rolling through. It was here where George also refused commands to fire on the SAM launchers despite a clear LOS. The problem is that I haven’t been able to replicate it now and it was the AGM K’s not the Ls for that one mission

I did the same, because I wanted to make sure that I had read correctly. Also, those promo videos were sure nice! And yeah, I understand what EA means hence why I'm kinda mum on it, but Zeus be darned if you so much as point out the discrepancies from the official FAQ and then the EA disclaimer. Some posters here get a bit too worked up and white knight the company that gets called out for making dubious/conflicting claims. We get the features that we get because we voice up, and not just sit there and accept it. ED devs aren't our friends (well they aren't mine) they exist to take my money (which they've been taking from me since SU-27 first released back in the day), so I say have at it ladies and Gents. It's a game at the end of the day. Nothing more nothing less. I'm waiting for some nice CAS COIN missions/campaigns to spring up. It's shame instant mission only has a cold start sight-seeing mission. Stalker you're going to get got by your "friend" again

Is this map specific? I don't have Sinai, but I loaded up the AGM65 L for Ghost Farp in Caucus and George did his job. Although to be fair I didn't take note on the RTT and probably I was within 5-7km. I tried both modes of autonomy for George.

Up at 20k+ sure, looks great, Fly down low and well... I dunno, I'm just happy to have a sim like this but I'd be lying if I didn't say that my initial reaction was "meh." It's early access and I'm just champing at the bit to get to some really great user generated missions. Until then I'm as happy as I can be doing some of the Caucus missions living out my fantasy life of having been on the other side of Ft Cavasos (2/4 Aviation Here) and flying with the Cav guys/gals

How'd I know it would be a FFB user?

Would be nice if we had the ability to change pilot models. Not everyone is Male and White yah know? Edit: Just watched the vid, jankie, but I like it just the same.

While I've gotten somewhat used to it, I think its torque modeling is overrepresented and needs to be tuned down. Also maybe program a better way to interrupt the center axis command. I'll never forget my first time triggering that. All the while saying WTF, no no no, as my nose went straight up into the air, and I lost all control over all the inputs

Is it ever! Is this a scheduled fix? Or is it a more of a kinda live with it type of thing? My quick stops suffer, but I guess if I want, I could always go back to the Black Hawk and reprise my troop hauling days

Fixed. For some reason I installed it to the root DCS folder as opposed to the saved games folder. Easy fix for that. Thanks any for the help Rudel, I added those folders to the exclusion list should I ever have any issues in the future anyway.

Does this work for defender? It's the only antivirus software that I run with. Edit: repair and exclude didn't work for the A-4-c mod

This happened to the A4 as well. At least mine has given me this message. Granted that is a free community mod.

Pilot error So back on topic. A really tuned curve set is important with the game. I remember when I first demoed the module with a turtle beach velocity one controller I hated it. Then once I got the rest of my gear, I still hated it lol. I felt like I was constantly fighting the controls. Once I tuned the axis curves, a totally different experience. I think my curves are at about 20 for the Cyclic axis and 15 for the rudder controls. But I guess YMMV depending on your gear. Now if only my wingman would stay alive.

Right in the beginning from instant mission hot start runway. I think I saved the .trk thinking how funny that was. Derp Wind 256/06 pays to actually look at the instrumentation from time to time

I was hovering today, just working on my axis curves, and I found it curious that my indicated speed was 6kts in this particular instance, but the actual movement was zero. No wind, no drift, just hovering in place hands/feet off everything. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect hover. Maybe too perfect Anyone experience that?

So, I initially hated the FM. I found it too twitchy, couldn't pull off a quick stop to save my life. Surely this is a fault of the sim, right? Partially yes. The other part was setting the axis curves. Once I dialed that in, the game suddenly opened up to me and a lot of the moves I learned seemed to just work. I'm still fine tuning it, but once I get the damper kit for my winwing f16ex I shouldn't have to worry with the trim axis trying to kill me when set it to null But yes, this module needs a bit of a gradual fade in/out when hitting that center trim button.

You know, I'm living out my dreams of actually having joined the AF vs the Army by buying the F16 first and then the A10. For some reason I just had enough of Army Aviation However, I remember how much fun me and the crew used to have with Digital Intergrations Apache/Hind and then followed up by Jane's Longbow 2, so I trialed this module, and gosh darn; It's hard! Bought it anyway to support the community. I understand it's a WIP so I won't comment on the Flight Model too much. But I do have a glutton for punishment.

I realize that this is an old ask, but yes multiple times here in the F-16. I make sure I change WP 4 to the actual target's location. Set Jammer then Pop up to about 2000' with about 30 seconds TTG on AB ripple the Mk84 (4) at 100 ft spacing and 0 release alt. Pull a hard right back down to 300 feet. Usually this is enough so that I don't even get pinged.
