I don't think I've seen this one shared here yet: Quick question about this video that maybe someone here can answer (also asked this on YT, but that's not really a good place to find answers imho): I was wondering why Notso is doing all those steerpoint offset corrections? Why not directly/only use the target offset point to correct for drift? Isn't that the only meaningful location that you want to have as accurate as possible on radar?

As someone with a "low-ish end" VR pc, enforcing higher graphics settings (such as shadows) would mean I couldn't join those servers (properly populated servers are already scarce). Honestly, when I saw this thread title I thought it was meant a joke.. I mean, sure, this is a wish list, you are free to wish whatever you want of course and no offence meant mate, but you can't be serious about forcing people to use high gfx settings, are you? Not that I think that any server owner would embrace this idea, but let's for arguement sake assume they would, that would mean that DCS PVP would only be available to those with high end (€2500+) systems? I said it before on this forum, imho people should start and let go that extreme urge for balanced PVP in DCS. It will never be balanced and there will always be stuff to complain about when you get shot down... I mean: First some folks started battering on people who use VR (they stick their heads through the canopy OMG!1!!).. Now you want to force everyone to use high resolutions, full shadows and what not.. Next.. He's using a €1000,- hotas set and I'm using a €500,- set, that ain't fair! Boohoo! Next.. He attacked me with a Viper while I was flying a Hornet Next.. He attacked me from cover of mountains, whereas I was flying oversees Next.. >place your excuse here< Let's skip all the future discussions and force PVP servers to setup missions with: Mouse and keyboard use only 4K flatscreen only Graphics ultra only Map with water only and no wind Single aircraft type only (with same skins) Players start at exactly the same time, altitude, speed, etc. etc. See where I'm getting at?

Thanks for this My weapon selection switch started failing on me this week That "duct tape" is a nice idea Hopefully TM is mild on the price for a replacement switch (I fear they won't though )

I expect all counterweight mods will have to be redone as well

You're right that they're probably Ugra property, but... Shouldn't ED either have adopted those objects, or made some themselves by now? Fences and barriers are quite a common thing in military aviation (understatement). From the top of my head, I can't recall any of ED's airbases have fences and barriers (please correct me if I'm wrong)

That would indeed be awesome and provide excellent building blocks for FARP/FOB scenario's This has been suggested/asked for many many times though. Again, given the complete lack of response, apparently it's not worth the time and effort...

This definitely needs to be addressed (long overdue imo). Try placing a static unit inside a hangar.. Indeed, impossible.. leaving us with beautifully modeled hangars at airfields that are completely empty and "dead" Given the complete lack of any kind of response from ED on this forum ever since it was initiated, I fear that all these wishes and sometimes great and well documented ideas, are utterly in vain. I had some hopes when Nineline posted that sticky on the general wishlist sub-forum, but I still haven't seen any responses here in the ME wishlist forum.

I use the Pointctrl aux buttons set on my VR headset to salute, so yes, always

Depends on what you're smokin' I think this "phenomenon" is called: motivated perception

(As someone who's not very social media active: Thanks for all these updates @Phantom88! )

I heard Australia came to a similar sort of conclusion; that the NH90 is pretty crappy. Spoke to a friend of mine yesterday who works on RNLAF NH90's as a mechanic. Hearing his stories, it seems that thing it pretty darn miserable . RNLAF now preys on Australian NH90 parts and tooling. (At least my friend won't have have to worry about lack of work )

Touché

Have you tried Razbam's AV8B and M2000? At the moment Razbam is miles ahead of ED when it comes to 1st person pilot body. (ED is cooking on something for a while now though )

Apart from a few specific actions (usually only needed for startup), you hardy need to be on the left and right side wall panels anyways*. So I'm always so surprised to see so many people talking about switches being blocked. What are you guys all doing there?! *Small disclaimer: Not sure yet if this is also the case in the Mudhen, but for sure it is in the Hornet and Viper.

Glad to see even the expert having a hard time staying connected

Thank you for the extended answer! I didn't mention it indeed, but I'm flying in VR (HP Reverb G1). Full specs in my signature. Although I admit I'm a layman, I'm very much under the impression that my pc is GPU limited at the moment. The fact that I didn't notice any difference with MT, amplified that impression. So, considering the above, what do you think? With a busy life currently, and not enough time at hand for DCS to justify the expenses of a full pc upgrade, I'm considering a second hand GPU, to make DCS more enjoyable again. Question is though, what GPU will still "match" with my 8700k? I'm at the point now where I seem to have to lower PD (I have pretty much all other settings already at low now). Lowering PD is kinda a limit for me, as it will directly influence cockpit readability. (Once life eases up on me, I can start and think about a full pc upgrade) Edit: Oh and going pancake is not an option for me. In that case I'll probably take a DCS break until I can properly upgrade

I'm really curious if the new MT allows us to use older CPU's in combination with a high end GPU. I mean, of course it's possible, but for sure MT pushed away CPU bottlenecking (is 'bottlenecking' even a word? ). To reflect ro my own system: i7-8700k | gtx 1080ti Would it make sense to only upgrade my gpu to a, let's say, rtx 4070ti? Anyone out there with such a pc, that can share his/her experience with DCS MT?

Sorry if asked before, but is it correct that I no longer see the mission loading screen in VR? (screen now just stays black until the mission is loaded) Fwiw; I think this is much better than the 0,1fps stuttering loading screen we used to have.

Yeah sure

My YT algorithm friend came up with this today: Now that's some next level modeling if you ask me

Didn't really know on what sub-forum to ask this, but as I started wondering about this while watching one of the F-15E video's, I thought I'd just try here Do 3rd party devs such as Razbam have any control over AI behavior? For instance; Would Razbam be able to incorporate, that my F-15E AI wingman briefly test his toe-brakes when rolling out to taxi? Or, does Razbam have any control over when/if an AI F-15E uses its airbrake? I've been wondering about this for a while now. Perhaps someone here knows how this works.

You red my thoughts Maybe I'm being to suspicious, but these threads seem fishy.

Agee. Not being able to easily do this is kinda a missed opportunity. There are so many incredibly well detailed aircraft, but meanwhile we're "stuck" with this outdated Su-27 model. It's not important enough (for me) to alter the VR lua file after each update. Yet it would be good for ED, if there was an eye candy aircraft standing there when I show off DCS to a friend/"potential new customer"

Please ED, also consider giving the mission editor wish list sub forum the same love. Some great ideas over there and let's face it, DCS is currently still leaning very much on community made content/missions.. Also, as @draconus and @Ironhand already indicated, please don't pay "extra attention" to all the everlasting bumped up wishes (like the Super Hornet one, or one of the many "easy AAR" threads). It's basically a hand full of people that keep those discussions going, which doesn't represent the rest of the sometimes very feasible wishes.

Ah yes, forgot about that new bulletin (Still not sure how much there is to "discuss" about this just yet though)
