Ok, I have reported this, I have a feeling they are being placed outside the map area, and then the game cannot deal with the location. Thanks!

For those of you experiencing this, when you select say a SEAD mission on Cold War Germany or Ground attack, are you seeing the player icon and the target icon? I am thinking this might be related, like its placing these off the visible map.

Thanks all, I am experiencing the same freeze. I will report this.

Will check, thanks.

I agree a 'Scramble' type intercept makes a lot of sense. That I will suggest.

They are aware that most anything can be cracked, it doesn't mean you should still not have protection on your stuff. Should we not have protection for our paid modules because people can crack those? Should we not have locks on our doors because someone can break in through the window? The bottom line is we have addressed that we will try to find a better solution when we have time. I know that doesn't make some of you happy, and I wish I could tell you what you want to hear but this is how it is and will be for the time being.

It is not up for discussion here, we have already stated what we are going to try to do elsewhere. Please keep the discussion on the MiG-29 FAQ here, thanks. Let's discuss it here then (or the F-5E thread)... I'm still not clear what the projected solution is from the team. I can say that the overwhelming majority of Livery makers want a Model Viewer revision that will read the encrypted files. Most (myself included) think that it is entirely possible. If you say that it's not possible please explain as to why not. It seems that y'all consider that being able to refresh the skins in game will be a solution but that is simply not true as a number of us have explained in the past. I have bumped the issue several times with @NineLine and @BIGNEWY @tags without response. It may be that you don't know or are not ready to share but the lack of response feels like gaslighting. Please note that I have previously purchased the F-5 upgrade and have also pre-purchased the MiG-29 as a token of support. I am sure it is possible, but it will not be priority over other things on going with DCS right now. A majority of our programmers are working on things like Vulkan right now and cannot just stop to create whatever may be the final decision on what we do here. While we understand its important to a number of people, there are a lot of things important to people, and this one may not be at the top of everyone's list. So its not gaslighting or anything else if I do not have an answer or news right now, there is simply no news to share, and when we have something to share, we will. We cannot have this reaction each new model, this protection is here to stay, and we will look at things to help out the livery community when we can. Thanks.

Yes, it is the mission type that decides this, in order to make a quick dogfight mission having the player start from the ground would not be ideal for example. With a stationary target such as for ground attack, it makes more sense. Because the F-15C doesn't have any sort of ground capabilities, it has no mission for ground start.

Thanks we will take a look.

So with your track, I was not able to reproduce, nor was I able to replicate on my own. I am still investigating but wanted to update. This one I also had not luck in reproducing, but I again continue to investigate. With both of these ones, the differ in that the elevation being used was feet over ground vs feet over sea. So it wasn't 900 feet above sea level.

This could change with a number of things coming, such as more advanced system modelling as well as better force feedback support, which I hope to see improve as we get access to devices like the one from WW. The issue with just having a real pilot jump onto DCS and try it out is that there is could be a number of things that impact that experience, such as quality of controls, the quality of the computer, etc. If they feel they want to help out, they are welcome to reach out to me via DM, or support ticket and we can see what they have to offer, but, respectfully, we have seen many "real pilots" over the years. We need to verify their experience before considering it especially if and when it contradicts already verified SMEs.

Most likely, you will see some differences in how the aircraft flies based on the systems being more detailed, but this would be more about how those systems function and affect the aircraft; the FM would be under all that.

You can still make liveries, and we are looking at ways to improve working with the encrypted models.

That is in reference to the autopilot systems, if you posted the whole quote it also reference the MiG-29 FM as being one of the most advanced we have.

I will send it to our team, but please understand we have our own SMEs, verified, and we are very happy with the current FM, thanks.

The FM is already a PFM, our most advanced FM, if you have concerns about the FM you need to make a bug report and provide evidence there is an issue, thanks. The model will be protected like all new models. Can you link me to this bug report? As I stated above, it is a PFM, we do not feel it needs to be improved. Thanks.

As I said, we are focused on the Sniper right now, we will see when that is done what will be next, thanks.

Right now, our entire focus is on the Sniper, while we would like to do another pod, it will just depend on time and resources.

It has not been put on ice, sadly, some things like programming an entirely new TGP take some time. If the OP of that comment looks at the changelog since 2019 he will see plenty of fixes and updates to the Viper.

What? As far as I know, but work has not started on it, so I don't want to count our TGPs until they are hatched.

Thanks for all the examples and settings, I will try and see what I can see again this week.

This is what I have requested. We can already overload with fuel and stores.

LANTIRN is not planned, the current pod we have is a hybrid between the LANTIRN and LIGHTNING, it will be replaced with the Sniper once it is complete and the manual will be updated.

Can you supply a track, can you determine if the fuel load is the same as the video, etc for take off? I will note that what you suggest is very much below what is suggested in the manuals, I am not sure a civilian restored Mossie is the best reference.
