No, but then again I am far from an expert on the matter. A lot of things could escape me even if I check . Thanks for reply!

Two updates ago they said something about: I am not sure how much it influences your work on your mod. Here is the changelog link.

Mmm, No. I will probably never buy the F4U or I will buy it at a huge sale... in 5+ years. If all things go well and we are good and healthy till then...

LanceR will never happen. NEVER! At this moment even if it is a ridiculous franken Mig-Sixteen is considered precious secret by RoAF. This combined with standard time on project of Lethearneck... which is around 10 years minimum.... Later.... when probably we will have a AI program that would compile a believable Mig21 LanceR from available info on internet in 20 seconds... we will be either dead or the whole plane will be as interesting as the double fuselage P51. A mere oddity. I am a romanian, I would like a LanceR, and an IAR93, or IAR99/SOIM but no... it is worse than Russian planes as full fidelity modules. Far worse.

Hello, is the last veriosn of the mod compatible with the last Open beta 2.7 updates to the Mirage 2000? Thanks.

I said few yeas ago not 'current crop of FPS games'. Although I did played a little Squad, a little Arma 3(?), I even installed Enlisted to see if there is something to look at - I am not really impressed I must say... but then again those games are not my cup of tea at the moment. I am a bit done with triple A glowing shaders-upon-shining shaders FPS franchises. But technically, I don't consider number one important for a shooter to be super high fidelity graphics. No.1 should be the mechanics and here DCS can achieve the level no problem. Skeletal animation iirc is in the works. Decent damage model framework is in the works. It's doable for what is necessary here. I don't care about seeing correct translucence on face freckles adjusted for skin color, age and degree of hygiene. As a matter of fact what is easy to observe is that many good FPS games tend to get closer to the idea of open sand box combat sim... like Arma and Squad. Obviously they can't get closer to the complexity of a study sim for their planes and helis... but the other way around is totally doable. DCS can have some half decent infantry action.

The level of detail in DCS especially the models are above a lot of very well known FPS shooters from few years ago not to mention older ones that simply were "garbage" compared with DCS and everything in them played basically in a matchbox. Things like Call of duty 1 and 2 or Medal of Honor. It really just needs a bit of attention that's all. But I guess ED focusses a bit too much on tasks at hand nowadays. The fact that we control the ejected pilot (I keep bring him up because is the closest thing to a FPS infantry stuff) by pushing the stick and moving the rudder pedals and not even by the clumsy but usable CA controls is mystifying for me. There are players in this world... most of them I dare to say that would impulse buy a game just because they see a friend or a youtuber doing something interesting/original/funny in a game. Why ED just doesn't provide a little bit more than incomplet tools for that to happen is unknown to me. Oh well.

What is needed is just first steps. For example someone to build a "module" for a ejected pilot. How hard it is to have a EFM for that? For someone that knows one or two things about the subject. There is no avionic to model. No engine. No multiple aerodinamic surfaces. Then... change the chute... make it a bit controllable or even one for aerobatics. Then make this "module" spawn via script in the place or any chute that is abandoned by the pilot (it can be done by a command by that player or automatic) Then you can get rescued Then you can add a gun... and so on. Edit. Basically this sums it up. it needs to be done completely and a bit better. Is it that hard? https://youtu.be/1MyPHI_i5cs

Pity this will become abandonware in few updates till an official module release. Before you ask... this is just a fast conversion of file names and structure of a MFS skin from here: https://flightsim.to/file/14515/indiafoxtecho-mb339pan-shark-ficticia-fictional

Shouldn't this thread be moved and stickied on the Mods sub forum of the Mods subforum where all planes are? (Actually why is this subforum so uncategorized after so many years is still a mystery, Planes, Vehicles, Ships, Utils, Wishlist, Chitchat,... oh well)

As a owner of Yak-52 module I think it's time or ED to consider making this module free alongside TF-51 and Su25T. Maybe people that fly it for free will be incentivized to buy some more modules that would in turn fuel a bit better the development than waiting for some milestone in sales to continue it.

Not completely. As the first post on thread say this mod is not supported anymore so... you can delete it and maybe wait for the plane to be released as a payware module in DCS. Or buy it for MFS.

+1 clouds are bad in VR. probably they need some work/effort/time/money for a good result and probably ED doesn't have yet a good solution for both problems. For clouds they are fuzzy objects and seen in VR they might be flickering badly on edges if quality would be forced on ultra, probably because the edges might not be the same fuzziness everywhere for both eyes. Same with the rain drops... objects with a lot of refraction and very close to the eyes so a lot of problems if they don't work well due to increased depth effect at that range. When I see such problems I usually start with the "solution": they can't or don't know yet how to solve it. It's the best fitting explanation for me for the fact. No high hopes etc.

I see you have the same question on two planes that are totally having joystick axes for throttle. It must be a problem at your end for this coincidence to happen. Try removing the folders for these two mods (ONLY FOR THEM!) from Config\Input from DCS folder from Saved Games then restart DCS.

what do you mean? I have two axis. what pls?

I hope the crashes are fixed because this morning... after another "windows update" Hercules 6.4 started to crash DCS after loading and clicking fly. --- edit it seems to work now with 6.5. Not sure if it was windows or something else got corrupted in 6.4 over the night while PC was Off... But I saw an earlier post about an update being pushed because of a Windows Updated inflicting crash. Also, nice to see textures now have mip-maps... my favorites . I was ready to check and redo them but seems not necessary. Cool!

Thanks for the tip. It works not only out of steam but you can close Oculus app too. nice! Worth mentioning. Right click on that icon in tray WHEN CONNECTED IN QUEST TO THE VD! Otherwise is grayed out.

please tell me this is the new cockpit...

Would it be better/possible to have the Mods Forum Part arranged in a manner that all the WIP, Proposals, Wishes, Abandoned, Unfinished mods be in the main section called "Mods and Apps" and only the finished or usable mods and utils be allowed to stay in the subsection called "DCS mods" ? As we have it now is just a mess. Mods are placed in both parts with no logic and many times duplicated threads are started even by people that have no link with the development of that particular Mod. It's a good start that we have the most used or the best ones stickied but still the order and ease of use is lacking imo. Maybe even split the Tools and Apps in they own subforum?

Super!

+1

+1 (just testing it this weekend) same bug when pressing Switch side on F14.

Thanks for the update! Is it possible to add a version number to the thread and also on the site? Just so we can easily track the last one.

Hey Ciribob. thanks for explanation! Well understood now!

The thing is that in huey according to this sheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tzd996zJ1t0heZ-t1PpL7vNUIZbXl7pI6De0GThN1Qw/edit#gid=1869108790 it should work with only PTT key assigned. You should just be able to select the radio by rotating the radio selector on the console. Mine does not work. I think in the SRS youtube movie Ciribob does exactly that.
