Nice video, but small mistake in the beginning. 20th FS was not a Wild Weasel Squadron.

Was soll denn da „ dämpfen“. Das einzige was man merkt ist wenn man an einer kc-10 hängt. Der Boom Operator schiebt dich dahin, wo er dich haben will. Da dämpft aber nix!

einfach nach Pardo´s Push googlen..... ob nun Boom oder Basket leichter in RL kann ich nicht beurteilen. Es ist anders. Nicht leichter oder schwerer. Wenn die F-4 nun endlich draußen ist, werde ich berichten ob es wie in RL ist. Edit: gerade gelesen…RIP Bob Pardo. Nickel in the grass!

Ich denke wie im RL fliegt der Pilot nach den Lichtern am Tanker, der WSO ist nur eine kleine Hilfe. In der Nacht sieht der WSO ja noch weniger, kann also gar nicht viel zum Refueling beitragen.

Hi Comrade Dogde, very interesting idea. However somehow it is not working for me with a multimonitor setup. The dot appears on the wrong monitor. I have a 7680x1080 setup with helios on my most right display. There the dot appears, but the f10 map open in the middle screen. I can see your lua call for a camPos. is it possible to edit this position? Cheers LGB

Brauchst du noch Helios Hilfe? Gruß LGB

Really? Actually i do not know where are you from but according to International System of units....https://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/prefixes.html Because the SI prefixes strictly represent powers of 10, they should not be used to represent powers of 2. Thus, one kilobit, or 1 kbit, is 1000 bit and not 210 bit = 1024 bit. To alleviate this ambiguity, prefixes for binary multiples have been adopted by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) for use in information technology.

Its marketing not math. At least here in Europe. 250GB sounds better than 243GB. Giga and Mega means devide by 1000. I know that you have to devide by 1024 but not everybody is a computer nerd. Enter 250GB SSD into google...only in the fineprint you fine the real capacity.

Did you reinstall Windows 10? if yes, you need to give yourself access to your E: drive again. try first right click on the E:DCS folder and on the tab security under permission give yourself full access.

just a small addon.... you have to devide the 255 382 777 856 bytes by 1024... that gives you 249 397 244 Megabytes which are rounded 250 GB. it is all about marketing!

yes, Viacom sometimes is the troublemaker. After every update of Voice Attack you need to point it to the DCS Path. Otherwise your COM Menu will show up constantly

no, because all your personal DCS config files are in the /user/savegame folder. The only thing is u will be unable to start DCS from the Windows start menu if you do not update the shortcuts. i even put my SaveGames folder on onedrive to have it available all the time on different windows machines and for my dedicated server. All my missions are in one folder and i use symlink to fool windows that the specific folders are hard links.

Just invest a couple of minutes and around $50 bucks for a cheap 500GB ssd. It is really simple, just cut and paste the DCS folder to the newly formatted hard drive. Update the shortcuts on your desktop. No need to deleted or uninstall and reinstall. I highly recommend using The DCS Updater GUI Utility - DCS Mods - ED Forums (eagle.ru) and for Mods use ovgme or similar addon. Always disable Mods before updating. Always!!! Cheers LGB

Well, I give up. 2.7 is not working for me. My resolution on all monitors are the same. All 4 Viewports are 1920x1080. Due to my setup I do not use eyefinity. I have 3 32 inch monitors on top and 1 27 Monitor with a touchframe in a T-Setup. I did a complete new installation with windows10, latest graphic card drivers, latest board driver, upto date bios. The other thing I have is that I need to start DCS twice. The first time it will not start, I have to end the task via Taskmanager, then I can start DCS again. This time it will load but it takes forever. Its is on a nvme ssd, so something is complete off and messed up. 2.56, as mentioned above is working fine. AMD Ryzen7 5800X. MSI B550, 32GB Ram, AMD Vega64 update 30.05.21 working now with the newest 2.7 beta. I switched back to 1 viewport and Helios. working with 5780x1080 plus 1920x1080. Additionally I use Reshade with minimal shadersand I disabled all MSAA in DCS but enabled it in the Radeon software. FPS round 55-60. On server 45.

Hey Luca, thanks for sharing the Picture above. Well I kind of have the same problem. I have a 4 screen multi viewport setup in a T configuration. Still trying to figure out what seems to be the problem. Single monitor config works. multiple viewpoints don´t. 2.5 works also fine Keep you updated. Cheers. LG Barons

hi ChrisCo I have a similar setup. Except it is a 4 Screen T- Setup with a touchscreen (touchframe actually) below. After endless trial and error I finally manage to get my setup right. I tried Helios, which is nice. But too much hassling with export and it does not feel right when using Track IR. Key to success is a 3 (4) monitor viewport. so, no Nvidia surround or AMD eyefinity setup. Below is my setup. The two side monitor are in a appr. 45 ° angle. the Monitor no.5 is a usb inch screen running HWmonitor (excluded from DCS). if you choose "useAbsoluteFOW = true" you loose the ability to zoom while in the aircraft. Don't worry about the last picture. The Horizon looks straight in the game. change your monitor.lua to something like this. leave the "lower" out (this is my 4 monitor) _ = function(p) return p; end; name = _('LGB_4viewportstset'); Description = '4 Screen multi monitor profile' Viewports = { Left = { x = 0; y = 0; width = 1920; height = 1080; aspect = 1920/1080; useAbsoluteFOV = false; useAbsoluteAnglesShift = true; --FOV = 0.70; viewDx = 1.05; viewDy = 0.00; }, Center = { x = 1920; y = 0; width = 1920; height = 1080; aspect = 1920/1080; useAbsoluteFOV = false; useAbsoluteAnglesShift = true; --FOV = 0.72; viewDx = 0.000000; viewDy = 0.0; }, Lower = { x = 1920; y = 1080; width = 1920; height = 2160; aspect = 1920/2160; useAbsoluteFOV = false; useAbsoluteAnglesShift = true; --FOV = 0.72; viewDx = 0.000000; viewDy = -0.89; }, Right = { x = 3840; y = 0; width = 1920; height = 1080; aspect = 1920/1080; useAbsoluteFOV = false; useAbsoluteAnglesShift = true; --FOV = 0.70; viewDx = -1.05; viewDy = 0.00; } } NS430_DISPLAY = { x = 25; y = 360; width = 1280; height = 720; } UI = { x = 1920, y = 0, width = 1920, height = 1080 } UIMainView = UI GU_MAIN_VIEWPORT = Viewports.Center and these are my graphic settings in the options.lua (change the "height" to 1080 and don't forget to the aspect for your setting to 5.333333333333 ["graphics"] = { ["DOF"] = 0, ["LensEffects"] = 0, ["MSAA"] = 0, ["SSAA"] = 0, ["SSAO"] = 0, ["SSLR"] = 0, ["anisotropy"] = 2, ["aspect"] = 2.6666666666667, ["chimneySmokeDensity"] = 1, ["civTraffic"] = "low", ["clouds"] = 1, ["clutterMaxDistance"] = 250, ["cockpitGI"] = 0, ["effects"] = 3, ["flatTerrainShadows"] = 1, ["forestDistanceFactor"] = 0.58, ["fullScreen"] = false, ["heatBlr"] = 0, ["height"] = 2160, --Change this if you have only 3 monitors in a row ["lights"] = 0, ["messagesFontScale"] = 1.25, ["motionBlur"] = 0, ["multiMonitorSetup"] = "LGB_4 viewportstset", ["outputGamma"] = 1.6, ["preloadRadius"] = 150000, ["rainDroplets"] = false, ["scaleGui"] = 1, ["shadowTree"] = false, ["shadows"] = 0, ["sync"] = false, ["terrainTextures"] = "max", ["textures"] = 2, ["treesVisibility"] = 10000, ["useDeferredShading"] = 1, ["visibRange"] = "High", ["water"] = 1, ["width"] = 5760, last thing you can change is then your field of view in the Views.lua directly in the main folder of DCS\Mods\Aircraft\----- Cockpit = { [1] = {-- player slot 1 CameraViewAngleLimits = {40.000000,160.000000}, CockpitLocalPoint = {3.022,0.860,0.0}, CameraAngleRestriction = {false,90.000000,0.500000}, CameraAngleLimits = {200,-90.000000,90.000000}, EyePoint = {0.05000,0.100000,0.000000}, ShoulderSize = 0.25, Allow360rotation = false, limits_6DOF = {x = {-0.05,0.21},y ={-0.10,0.08},z = {-0.19,0.19},roll = 90.000000}, hopes that helps

If you have a friend, also playing DCS and using LOTATC you could fly a PAR while he/she is talking you down. Hilsen LGB

Hi there, being plagued with NS430 bug and multi monitor setup (4 Screens + 2 usb in T-Shape) and first not finding the 2D popup in the F-5E, I accidentally found out a way to display the 2D pop up for the remaining 3 Aircraft. First questions is why using it in Aircraft with already advance Systems? Well they are not so advance to be practicable. No Nav - and Airport Database, no Approaches, no timer basically not the same additional functions of the NS 430. So actually pretty easy to get it running. First, obviously the NS430 must be properly installed. Next instead of try to enable it in the build in Option screen, go and open your "options.lua" (usually found in your DCS save game folder under users.) and change behind the above mentioned aircraft the "false" to "true". That's it! Enter DCS and hit the normal ALT+Shift+B and it should pop up. For Users with multi monitor setup like me shortly hit ALT+Enter and drag and drop it from the lower right corner to the middle of the screen and hit Alt+Enter again. :thumbup: Cheers LGBarons

Hi there, I had the same problem. However, when you are in game hit Alt+Enter. This changes the mode into single screen (I have a 4screen T-setup) and there you will find the pop up window. Drag and drop it in the middle of the cockpit and hit Alt+Enter again. After that you can position it where you want it. Unfortunately DCS will not remember the position after a restart. You have to do it again. Cheers LG

Hey Colo, It me again.. Thanks for updating to 2.4. I just downloaded it but somehow the auto coordinate transfer does not work for me. First the message on my tablet was wrong coordinate format. I figured that one out but now it says adding coordinates but nothing happens. It does not switch back to the cockpit from the map screens. I increase the width to 350. Changed also sleep and long sleep back to 300 ( from 1000).

Hi specel, excellent program. Took me a while to get it running. However, very nice. Just a tiny problem... is there a way that the program recognize that i just ended the mission and started a new one? I always get an error and have to restart manually after I begin a new mission. Cheers LG

Hey COLO, any updates on the update?:music_whistling: I really like your program, especially the auto coordinate function. Until now, as described above, it is not really usable for me. Cheers LGB

Hey Colo, actually i was just flying Persian gulf and Caukasus. I did not check it in the Nevada theater. Might be just a eastern vs western reversal. cheers LGB edit. ´´ so, ok. i check. somehow it is a mixup between E and W coordinates. Autofill will swap W in Caukaus and persian gulf maps with E coordinates, as supposed to be W in nevada areas.

Hey Colo, I made a step forward. Waypoints are now entered after I change the sleep value to 1000. However now instead of a E coordinate it enters W. North value is correct. When I enter the 6, respectivly the Eastern value it enters it correctly only in Auto mode. The Keybindings are correct. other than the mixed up i already mentioned. Thanks anyway. I will wait then to the 2.4 version. LGB

Hey colo, while further testing I am unable to use the auto coordinate function. I changed the postition of the Mapx in the config.txt due to the fact I have a 4 monitor T- Setup. So according to the manual I should put 1920 in the config. However after pressing the screen on my nexus7 tablet for more then 1 second in gets into a loop of pressing the number 2 button on the ufc an position. I have to close DCS to stop it. Any ideas? LGB
