Hi Devrim
I think I know how to change the burning time of individual vehicles. Look at the .lua files located here:
DCS World\Scripts\Database\vehicles
Choose a vehicle, for example the Challenger 2 tank in the tanks folder, open the file Challenger2.lua and go to line number 75. Here you will find this entry:
--Burning after hit
GT.visual.fire_size = 1.0; --relative burning size
GT.visual.fire_pos[1] = 0; -- center of burn at long axis shift(meters)
GT.visual.fire_pos[2] = 0; -- center of burn shift at vertical shift(meters)
GT.visual.fire_pos[3] = 0; -- center of burn at transverse axis shift(meters)
GT.visual.fire_time = 1200; --burning time (seconds)
See the last line, its the burning time (as if you couldn't guess!).
I'm not sure if there is a global variable that we can change but this will work for individual vehicles. Bit time consuming though lol.
Maybe have a look at the file FireVehicle.lua found here:
\Bazar\ParticleEffects\effects
Line number 73 refers to the life time of fire. Also the file FlatSmokeCloud.lua, line number 13. This maybe a more global edit?
In fact there are lots of files in this folder that you can look at.
Hope this is of some use.

Well, he should check his spelling then. It's au revoir. ;)
:smartass:
Azrayen, you're an official DCS French translator living in France, now thats cool. I am learning french but as a 43 year old Englishman, I am finding all those verb conjugations are taxing my brain to its limit. One day I will be a capable french speaker. Perhaps I should browse the French forum sometime.
Anyway, I am enjoying the Sabre. Learning the systems and how to fly it, while, hopefully, DCS sorts out the AI aircraft so we can have a fair fight.

There was an airshow today at East Fortune, the Scottish National Airshow. Huey 509 was there so it would have been her/him.

God i ****ing hate computers. How do i download this. just tried and have to download another ****ing program called miz.WTF
Calm down Boston!
The .miz file is the mission file. Put it in your missions folder in DCS World\Mods\aircrafts\A-10C\Missions\EN\Training
or any other folder you care to choose or create.
Start DCS World and go to Missions and then click on A-10C. From there go find the mission file that you downloaded. Select it and go fly.
Deep breaths and relax.

As a guess, I'd say it is some sort of casing that is expended after getting the missile out of the water and into the air. Not that I really know much about these things. But it looks like a sea launch missile.

Link in first post works for me. I've included the file from the first post in this posts attachment if you still need it.

Hi guys.
I've been looking at youtube videos of this game. I'm be interested in playing this game but I have a strong, probably irrational, aversion to Steam. I can't get it out of my head that the steam platform would be bad for my computer and way of playing games.
Am I just being stupid about this or should I just go ahead and install steam and start playing?

Give me a land of boughs in leaf,
A land of trees that stand;
Where trees are fallen there is grief;
I love no leafless land.

An F-34. Cool, a new fighter!

In the Tornado, there is a Command Ejection lever in the rear navigators cockpit. It can be set to BOTH or REAR.
When set to BOTH, either the pilot or the navigator can initate an ejection, resulting in both crew members being ejected. The navigator is ejected a fraction of a second before the pilot, regardless of who initiated the ejection.
When set to REAR, both pilot and navigator will be ejected if the pilot initiates the ejection,(again, navigator first followed by the pilot). BUT, if the navigator initiates an ejection, only he/she will be ejected, leaving the pilot in the plane.
As far as I know, its standard operating procedure to set it to REAR. This is because, as has happened in the past, it prevents the navigator ejecting both aircrew accidentally. During a sortie, while the navigator had his head in the office, the pilot initiated an extreme manoeuvre, at low altitude, to avoid a mid-air collision, (with an A-10 funnily enough). The navigator thought, wrongly, that the aircraft was out of control and immediately ejected. As the command ejection lever was set to BOTH, both pilot and himself were ejected. They left a perfectly flyable, multi-million pound war plane to to crash into the ground. Both aircrew were ok, but it was a bit of a cockup.

Out walking my dogs today, heard a low level jet. So i look up and see a plane I've never seen before. No idea what it was.
I noted down the time, so when I got home, I went to Flightradar24.com and put in the date and time. Hey presto, it was a Scorpion! Registration number N531TA
I remember reading this thread a while back, so I thought I'd share it with you. The attachment shows that it took off from MOD Boscome Down, flew up to Snowdonia in North Wales to fly around the valleys and then back down, eventually landing at Fairford for the International Air Tattoo this weekend. So I will see it again on Saturday lol.
I live in Ludlow, Shropshire (can be seen just above Hereford where the flight plan criss crosses itself).
I did post of another sighting, in another thread, about how I saw a B-52 low and slow over Ludlow when I was again out walking my dogs. Didn't need flightradar24 to identify that one!

Training Videos
in DCS: F-86F Sabre

The plane above, FU-129, was sold/given (under a Mutual Assistance Pact) to the Yugoslavian Air Force in 1961, a then communist state, where F-86's briefly flew along side the Mig-21 in the latter part of their lives. They were decommisioned in the early 1970's. An interesting titbit/tidbit for you.
