ED said few times that they prefer the community to take care of additional skins due to the cost. If the skin one created is suitable for the module at a quality required, one can approach ED and donate their work and it will be included in the module or asset (AI). It happened in the past on multiple occasions. There is also very strong user files section on the main website.

For sure ED will limit the livery to the operator they are going to simulate and will relay on community to create additional ones. For sure there will be a livery contest and winning ones will be included in the product. Just need that livery template to be released and Fulcrum will get them all in no time!

There is a lot that is not up to the current DCS standards with FC3 MiG-29 and I think (I HOPE) it will be completely NEW 3D geometry / textures / effects.

We don't know but from the 2024 & beyond people could have gotten impression that it will be THIS year, but it won't I think. The development will certainly start this year, or maybe it has already started. Well, EA in December maybe? ED knows Video says in sequence: COMING TO DCS IN 2024 IRAQ AND JOINING REDFOR IN FULL FIDELITY FULCRUM-A The way that this above message is formed shows that Iraq is planned to come this year whereas Fulcrum is planned to join redfor

Probably so, however, we know very much already that even though things might be not in operational use or searchable on the net, it does not make them legally usable for DCS coding. On the other hand it might me a simple case of sales figures versus resources and effort and we might get to see GCI as "post early access feature" Again, what would it change in terms of the gameplay for the simulation - taking into consideration how stuff works in DCS now.

Thanks @CrazyGman, now I know better why the fuss. I could imagine it's close to impossible to find public documents that would allow coding it in DCS. I also don't really see a use case for it in DCS Fulcrum, or maybe for said multiplayer. it would suffice to refresh ATC / EWR / AWACS in DCS. It's currently possible to navigate to your target, work out the intercept yourself and surprise attack with IR without radar and it is much more fun to do so as well. Gen 3 dogfights are fun!

Hi I flew on on my old missions that goes back to June 2022 and was always working fine. However I tried today, as always sending my wingman to execute mission and rejoin. All good, only that after I received "Running in" I heard "Guns Guns Guns" radio call, so checking on my wingy and sure enough he is charging Tor with his 20mm. Why? I checked and my mission is as it was since I created it. Bombing - Decoys - All. I suspected a bug and fortunately I was able to reproduce - track attached. TALD gone wrong.trk

For sure places of cultural or religious significance will not be destroyable as this is the policy for all maps.

@Furiz Happy New Year! The year of Fulcrum!

Razbam hinted their MiG-23 might have the GCI Maybe it will just remain to be simple radio calls we have now - AWACS / EWR.

Last year I was waiting for the Fulcrum to be featured at the end of the 2023 and beyond video, instead some strange looking helo took it's place. In this year's video it will finally be revealed, won't it ? oh dear ... I am in for a disappointment ... again.

We know already that even higher details AI planes will be "something more than just an asset pack" but no details yet. I guess it needs our $$$ to progress.

HAPPY NEW YEAR. In this video - Wags enters correct elevation in feet for his offset location, however the manual seems to insist that the elevation should be rather the difference in elevation between Waypoint and the offset. F/A-18C Early Access Guide Updated 18 July 2023 p. 132 Example: With my WP1 set at 9000 feet MSL corresponding to IP ADDER, JTAC gives me RNG 14nm BRG 019 and ELEV 100 feet. I try to create offset from WP1 that is ADDER IP, I enter BRG/RNG all good, I try to enter -8900 feet in ELEV and I get ERROR on UFC. It works when I create the same offset but in ELEV I enter 100 FEET just like Wags did in his example. Which one should be correct? Is manual wrong or is the simulation not programmed in yet?

It's not only the new callsigns, also certain weapons with JTAC where the text in 9;line remarks says, for example GBU-24 but you hear "use ". As for the Callsigns, I think it is not a bug yet, it is Work In Progress related to future ATC overhaul planned for DCS, affects not only Hornet but also for AI assets such as the new B-1B and its callsign "Bone". Another example is when you want your flight to engage primary objective and rejoin, the text appears fine but the pilot says only "Flight ".

I think Iraq map is coming. First, Nick mentioned in the interview 'a map to complete the region', Reflected said he would definitely do a Desert Storm campaign if there was an Iraq map - I mean, why would you mention it in the 2024 campaigns update if it was just a pure wish? Let's see.

New Year - new NTTR update / expansion request. Won't happen or will it? Happy New Year!

When I saw the news first time I wondered if ED is going to make that change as well at some point, and I guess they won't as the map will be 'too old' and 'feature complete' by the time there is enough public information on the base layout and facilities.

You would need multiple laser designations for multiple bombs to hit different targets. I had it once with the script that mimics JTAC. So each bomb was set with different code and scripted JTAC was lasing two targets with two laser beams, so when I dropped two at the same time, they went for two distinct target. In your situation I assume you were self lasing or DCS JTAC lasing on 1688 a single target / unit, hence no matter how many bombs you drop, they all to the same target based on the configured laser code. GBU-10 / 12 glide towards the reflected laser energy constantly, so need some sort of lasing all the way to the shack.

Well, we shall see what does the future hold for DCS in this department then. I like Open Beta release frequency, I don't mind testing and finding bugs.

I hope you did not just tell us that we all will get cut off the public beta branch, please?

What aircraft were you you fighting against @mytai01? I just tried in Hornet against Hornet, Fulcrum A, Flanker D, Mirage F-1. ALL SET TO ACE (I remember ED mentioning new BFM logic on Ace only) Guns only each time. NO other assets (AWACS /EWR) and Fulcrum disengaged when I went behind the hill, but re-committed once I painted him with the radar, had to set F1 to keep its gun pods on but other then that it is 4:0 for me. I fly BFM often and since the DCS 2.8.0.32066 Open Beta (28.10.2022) I have never witnessed infinite loops that @TheFreshPrince mentioned. Maybe this is with relation to specific aircraft?
