Thank you, will try that! Edit: I have my green light working now

@rel4y Thank you for the throttle upgrade! (through IAF.Cheetah) Works great :) I would love it if the led lights (any led...) would still work though... just as an indication that power is on, as it looks dead now... ha ha Do you think it is possible? What is needed to alter to make it work please? Thank you, Ron

Amazing work as always Taz!! Please don’t withhold any improvements you can implement due to IC. Personally I try to ignore servers with IC checks to avoid losing such great and must have improvements that ED is unfortunately taking forever to implement, if at all... I hope the team at ED understands how important these kind of “core mods” are to a combat sim like this, and would rush to implement them already themselves... keep up the great work!!! Ron

Very curious to know.... engine limitation/oversight.... a reply would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Here is a sample of an F-15 afterburner. At this distance (I've attached the whole screenshot for correct proportions) with just one click of the mouse zoom (in/out) the afterburner looks as if it is on/off, while it's still on all the time obviously. No fade effect... very blunt and binary... At this distance it should still be seen and faded as you zoom out or the plane fly's away from you. It can be very confusing and misleading in a dogfight, to judge the opponents moves and energy state.

Nearly 2021... No one cares to acknowledge?? Thanks

Hi, I whish to train with my young son in our own home server, we fly together online, and would appreciate the ability to use Active Pause while training together, as it is not possible to do so in MP. Much easier to train and explain like that. Maybe a flag in server settings can allow/disallow it? Thank you.

Excellent tool, thanks!! Always wanted to make it easier for me to remember old planes I don't fly often - now it is within reach! way to go! :thumbup: I have VKB MCG PRO, and a custom made arduino/mmjoy based joystick, I hope to see as well... Also I noticed no MODIFIER buttons are exported ( I saw you plan to add axis and pov later). Hope to see it expand way further :beer: Cheers! p.s. maybe it can be exported as jpeg/png, in a kneeboard aspect ratio? thus it can be added into the the aircraft's specific kneeboard itself and see it while flying...

I hope it's in your power to create a "Better Afterburner"...:smilewink: Thank you !! :thumbup: Ron

Ai planes can be used even if you don’t own them...

Better Afterburner? Hi Taz1004, A little "hijack"... Since you make everything so "MUCH BETTER' in DCS, not only "better" :thumbup::):) ... I was thinking maybe you can take a look at the afterburner issue which disappears in a very short distance away from you. It's probably a LOD issue, and is kind of binary - 'on-off' thing and not gradual, realistically fading with reasonable distance It is very annoying, both visually and practically, not seeing such an obvious thing in a dogfight, which helps determine the enemy's state. I hope you can, and want to improve it if you have the time for it. Thank you for all you've done so far! It's amazing! Not flying without it!! Cheers :thumbup: Ron

VERY TRUE!! I hope GLOWING AMRAAM here will indeed 'promote' it ASAP so we can ALL see it without mods and/or 'cheating' remarks... bringing the graphics to 2020 standards. Cheers!

Maybe in the meantime you can release it for “Internal QA” until ED releases their update?... ;)

Thank you both for the clarification! :thumbup:

If it's mapped like the original CH throttle (which I'm interseted in upgrading with r4lay. I'm using FF2 as a stick), then it should be pretty much 'plug n play'? or the upgraded throttle has to be re-mapped all together again anyway, since it's identified as a new device in windows and the old mappings won't fit Sorry if i'm not being very clear... Thanks for your replies! EDIT: from looking again at the pictures, seems you mapped it to look exactly like a USB CH throttle pro, with all the buttons?... then it should do the trick... :) cheers!

Hi r4lay, Is it possible for you to map the new board to match the old CH throttle buttons ID's? I have many planes mapped and it would take me forever to re-map them again exactly as they were. If I had another CH throttle side by side - I could have compared them and re-map them... Thank you!

Better Smoke for DCS World 2.5.6 Better Smoke for DCS by taz1004 1. New vehicle dust. 2. Adjusted air blast effect. 3. Adjusted smoke markers. 4. Vehicle smoke lasts longer. First thick smoke duration remains. Subsequent faint smoke duration extended. 5. First stage of vehicle smoke slightly darker for higher part of cloud. 6. Fixed additional blasts whenever smoke stage changed. 7. Blast effect slightly reduced and its particle smaller. 8. Many other tweaks I don't even remember... https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/de/files/3312017/

Thanks for this mod! I would really love to use it but since I have 3 monitors (surround) the view inside the CA vehicles is a disaster... :cry::mad:(pics attached). anything you know that can be done to configure this view to be able to use also your mod? Many thanks!!

Great work TAZ!!:thumbup::thumbup: Thank you!!!

Thats great!! Exactly what I meant. THANKS!! :thumbup:

Excellent!! Great job TAZ!! :thumbup::thumbup: looks so much better smoke...or should it be called "Best Smoke" Mod :) Thank you for the Vehicle dust too!! looking great!! since KUKY and somewhat by Mustang, no has touched it... looks way more realistic now!! I think the (fireVehicle) smoke is a bit too grey than black, it turns grey too early. maybe you can increase a bit the black smoke height before it turns grey? Can you control how long each type of vehicle burns and/or type of fire? so they wont all look the same. (I think I've seen it in some file/mod before) edit : in config\world\world.lua So much negelction by ED for years now... they should be thanking you by adopting your work into the game and reward you like some skinners I know of... (with miles, not money, but still)... Or hire you... :smilewink: [Don't get me wrong - I love ED for DCS, but they could have done so much better with the core sim by now. At least Nick Grey is taking some positive action now. we'll see....] Cheers

Well, it would be up to the user to enable or disable the warning for himself... a selective one more stop before the repair/update etc. Like the external applications, just without the hassle to actually connect to anything besides an optional pop up. Anyway thank you for your program and efforts! Cheers

Great looking explosions and smoke TAZ!! Thank you!! waiting for V3... :thumbup: Are you planning to improve 'Vehicle dust' / 'Tank dust' as well?? :smilewink: I've noticed in FireVehicle.lua (I think it was Mustang's edition) a parameter called hazelife, which was not in your file. is it a meaningful parmater you can work with?? here is the file I have : Cheers, Ron

Thank you imacken :) - That was exactly what I meant. Some of my mods are indeed in the saved games folder, but some are not working that way and must be in the main game folder to work. An optional reminder (activeated by the user who choses to) would be a welcome addition. Thanks.
