So Tactical DCS run a series of limited number courses for assisted learning of the systems in various jets. But they dont ( I think ) do a Phantom course. I wondered if there was any squads or organisations or individuals who did anything like this? I fly pretty much full time in a squad operating the Hornet, as a result of which my skills and knowledge of the Phantom have atrophied....a situation I would like to correct. I know there is a lot I can do in single player, but I really enjoying flying with people and find teh learning experience much faster and better when guided in this way.... Any suggestions welcome.....I dont even mind paying for some lessons......I know people like Spud do one on one stuff for example...

The only problem I have found with this is that once the wind is sufficiently high to get a pitching deck, it makes landing on the carrier all but impossible........?

resurrecting this thread as I did update to later drivers some months back as I wanted to try DLSS 4 . Do you know if itt possible to still use DLSS 4 on the older drivers? I am considering going back to 537.58 as I have been getting some crashes lately which seem to point to graphics drivers......

As title, clean install, logs enclosed dcs.log-20250420-145722.zip dcs.log-20250420-212627.zip

As per title, I keep losing the bindings from the FLIR & Laser arming switches on my combat ready panel.....just these bindings and no others, It seems to happen at random. Anyone got any ideas what might cause this?

Not having done any WSO stuff, when you say"jump in the back and do it yourself", whats involved in this?

Shame there are no RAF Phantom airbases in the initial release - We could have had at least one, surely!

The map looks awesome, but an awesome map is nothing without credible and interesting activities to carry out on it. I wondered what the community thought would be some ideas for the above/ Also what missions etc are planned to be released with it? This is kind of what combined arms is made for, I really hope that it gets some attention as well to maximise the potential Cheers

Hi, I noticed a few updates back, the big wing tankers have got really twitchy in the turns - rocking side to side and not flying smoothly at all..... They also seem to randomly decide to retract the basket during hook up attempts..... I wondered if this was planned to be addressed?

So is combat flite useable still?

Has there been a change in how the system operates recently? It seems now that the required ground speed given if you set a ToT is now the speed required to go direct to the designated target waypoint and does not now take account of any route programmed, whereas before, it used to account for the waypoints programmed into the route...... Would be good to get some input into exactly how the system is designed to operate.

I am also very excited about this.......run a quest pro currently, with quad views and love it, cant fault it.....thats the only issue, why would I be upgrading, when I cant really fault my current experience....? Of course, money no object, I would be right in there.....

Actually, how does that work, if you select nothing, dont you get no clouds?

main folder, config/effects

I have been experimenting to find the best clouds / weather effects for my training mission in Afghanistan, centred on Bagram, which is quite high and surrounded by very high mountains..... I wanted some nice clouds, in layers, with the enough coverage to look impressive, without noticeable layers and them coveriung the scenery too much and without them becoming part of the scenery . So far, the ones I like are either too thick when you get above them or seem to narrow and defined in layers that dont look as realistic as they should. Out of curiosity I looked in the .lua file and saw various values for stuff like coverage etc. Does anyone have an understanding ( I guess people like Bandit 648 who made an excellent mod!) of how these values work and how to tweak them ? For example, I found a great preset, but above one layer, pretty much all I could see was clouds and there were not gaps in lower layers. Any help in understanding how this works and tips to tweak would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi, trying to make best use of the picture feature. I can see the command to make it appear, is the only way to make it dissappear to use the time function for how long it displays? I was hoping there was another triggerable event to make it do so. I tried "picture clear" but it did not appear to work ( What does this command do BTW?) Also what does the "Clearview" checkbox option do? I thought it might affect transparency, so checked it, but could not see any change .... How many can you have active at a time? Are these new features documented properly anywhere ? Cheers

How can you maker DCS reflect real weather?

Thats it, excellent! Thanks very much!

At some point I downloaded a mission called "Syria dynamic AA" which seems to a pretty nice SP single player training mission. However, I cant find it in user files or by searching and ther eis no briefing included. I would like to figure out how to use it ( There are various F10 radio options, some of which are obvious, but lots of stuff that is not. It would be great to contact the mission author for some clarity...... Can anyone help? uploaded it here: Syria dynamic AA.miz

Hi, over several multiplayer flights recently, I have noticed ( and others) intermittent issues with datalink not picking other flight members up and flickering in and out on the SA page...... Using the F18, so not sure about other frames,. Anyone else noticed this?

OK & just to clarify: I am using version 2.4.0.16 of inspector. Here is my settings, in common, it says "Forced DLSS3.1 preset letter K". We are talking about DLSS 4 here arent we, so why does it say 3.1? Secondly, how do I get rid of the annoying text in my VR FoV - its some kind of debug info, says Preset K etc......

This is the information we need....All these guides are not clear. Thanks

Just noticed this strange area of different colour texture on the carrier deck.....is this a new thing? or a bug?

Hi all, taken the plunge and tried this. I am using latest WHQL drivers and version 2.4.0.16 of inspector. I have downloaded and draggged into my DCS MT folder 3 files, nvngx_dlss, dlssd & dlssg. Trying to follow this guide: However, I dont see exactly what he shows, for example, at minute 2.30, what I see is different, I get this I do have some options about enabling DLL overide in the common section, so have enabled DLSS, FG & RR overide to use latest available. Seems to be working as I have some annoying text in the bottom of my FoV that says something about Preset C.... How can I get rid of teh text or make it readable, as when I try and look at it, it moves! Do I have it working as it should? Does look great and perform well.....Have set DLAA & DLSS sharpening in DCS options, quality rather than performance. Is all the above correct?

Thanks, I fly mainly in VR, my current PC runs my Quest pro extremely well, with little or no noticeable performance issues. I would be updgrading the card as well, likely a 5090 - basically, it would be a new PC and I will shuffle down the old PC's to my Helo sim set up and my daily use PC on which I might play some FPS games. I heard the latest intel chips run very hot and have been happy with my current AMD CPU set up....but not wedded to either. Its now been 2 generations of Nvidia card tech and 3 years since I got my current PC. Just trying to weigh up the possible benefits of getting a new PC. One would be that my existing main PC could be used to power my Helo sim rig to fly the Apache in VR, which I cant really do satisfactorily on the PC I am currently using for that. I can then use the old Helo PC as my daily and be able to play FPS games etc , which I cant on the small form factor NUC PC I use for that currently
