You're probably right. That must be non-primetime online player numbers, since it is given just under total number of servers. I vaguely remember reading a statement somewhere that online players represented less than 10 percent of total DCS player base. I think I could speculate that an average of ~10K total active players would be within the ballpark. So, DCS is going strong and hopefully will remain so. Edit: By the way, this screenshot is from my DCS ED profile page; I own the standalone version. The figure should include both Steam and standalone players tho.

In your Profile page some info is available. I'm not 100% sure if this is the online player count. It just says 'active.' Not very descriptive. And of course, this is only a snapshot for a given point in time. Not sure if over time stats are available elsewhere.

Always very helpful info from you. Thank you.

In my experience with flying the DCS Mi24, which is my main ride, this the key for smooth force trimming.

It does not need aileron trime 'constantly during flight.' It needs it only when at high power/low speed situations (like taking off). As you pick up speed, the effect of torque becomes weaker.

Question: Even when the HUD is imperial and/or the altimeter is indicated in feet, these numbers still represent dH in thousands of METERS, not thousands of FEET, correct?

Now that would be the day. The number of folks complaining about the SPO15 would be far fewer, if blue also had realistic RWR.

George works fine. What you describe points to procedural errors on your part. For example, George will safe the weapons only if you issue a Down (keyboard S) command. I recommend reading the George section of the manual.

I think that is the optimal approach in this situation.

If you have any materials related to the SPO15 and its operation in real life vs the implementation in DCS, please feel free to share them also.

So, say I detect a target at 35 miles while TDC caret is at 10 miles and dH set two notches up. What happens then when I slew the TDC to lock the target? The target is no longer within the radar cone and disappears? Is this the genius of Soviet tech, or is it a flawed implementation of the actual system in the sim, or is ED becoming creative with their tech modeling?

I have noticed that, when George says he's engaging, but he's not, cycling the weapon type (short Left), or cycling weapons free/hold fire, usually helps.

The same problem exists with the FC 29A also. It'd be nice to notch down trim sensitivity a bit.

The New George can be instructed to select multiple targets and engage them sequentially. Also George can be instructed to Search TADS LoS, which saves time when you want to engage further targets in the same area. It would be great if we could equip our beloved Petrovich with the same abilities. Throw a bone to us Mi24 drivers already, ED.

It happens in KA50III also even with the smaller KOMs. I think it is safer to shoot rockets in a short burst than at medium or long.
