This fellow is absolutely right. Let's get hands on some drones. It shouldn't actually be that hard to implement as most of the mechanics is already there. We would need a UI with some kind of a 3 way split screen offering longitudinal axis nav cam view, a TGP-like cam view to locate, designate and lock targets and a TADS-like map window. There would be options to temporarily maximize one of these three screens or rearrange their windows as needed. All this connected to a small amount of weapon release logic and the ability to remotely steer the drone and/or even let it fly patterns and/or do landing maneuvers automatically using a simple flight model.

Look up the desired landing speed. Always aim for that landing speed in your landing attempts. Use the speed brake only if you notice your speed being too high and if you think the use of the speed brake will slow you down enough to be able to maintain your approach with the correct landing speed. In all other cases- especially if your speed is fine - don't use the speed brake. In case of an emergency, failed approach, anything, you wanna accelerate real quick for a go around, to assure enough speed to climb up into safety with a safe climb speed. You don't want to have to pay attention to the need of retracting the speed brakes first. So the standard setting should be speed brakes off. After touch down and your decision that no go around will take place, you of course can use the speed brake to support decreasing of velocity.

Hi there. Also had this problem of the MiG21 activation request which every time I startup DCS. Even more odd, I didn't change my hardware config at all. The solution in post #19 solved it for me. I lost 2 activations alltogether with this issue. But I won't complain until I used up all my remaining 6 activations, so hopefully not within the next 10 years or so...

It may be fair to clearly say that it is totally unknown when the mentioned "DCSworld 2.0" will see the day of light and that this status hasn't changed for years.

you won't need new hardware for watching the new videos. Don't think we will come DCS 2 any nearer than watching it in videos for some time.

CSAR might very probably use UHF so to complain about a missing basic feature is somewhat inappropriate.

Obviously they don't, because these features are missing. The interesting question is, would people develop/buy modules which in some way need environments like these.

Just give people the necessary tools to create sceneries. If the quality is good, we will be thankful to enjoy them! DCS could only benefit from that. I also think that the whole globe should in fact be something like in Prepar3d or the former flight simulator. Nobody would expect a high fidelity display of our world. Autogen sceneries and textures would be fine. If you soon sit in your DCS B-52 on a 4 hour flight from Ramstein to Syria, it won't matter if the scenery 38000 ft below isn't accurate. Only necessary accuracy is provided by insular sceneries at your departing base and the target area. If you ask me, we already would be fine with a full globe and coastlines, a terrain model and some handy tool for mission designers to add in scenery objects from a defined library of nav aids and facilities or even selfmade 3D objects,. This would multiply our possibilities, compared to the very limited theaters we have now and in the near future.

Then I recommend the OP to edit the thread title, which still claims to address issues with a Flight director (which we don't have in the simulation).

This is some poor judgement on your side, piston. You conveniently post a bug report but even after 8 pages of discussion refuse to deliver any evidence for your claim. There isn't even evidence for assuming there is a flight director at all in this simulation. The term "flight director" isn't mentioned a single time in the 670 pages manual of this sim. Yet you claim there is one, simply judging by the looks of those two yellow bars. Advised to notice the related pages in the manual (which would enlighten you how to understand those two steering bars) you refuse to face those descriptions, solely judged by your religious faith in those bars being a flight director. 1. There is no FD in this sim. You don't find a FD in the manual. 2. Those two bars are explained in the manual of this sim, nowhere did you report they wouldn't function as described there. 3. You claim the ED manual is doing no help here because it is addressing a simulation only, yet you don't deliver contradictory statements from some real life document. Think about this and provide some facts. Your real life experience in airliners are facts, your videos may be. But they prove nothing, they are in fact worthless in this context here, because we need knowledge of the A-10C in this case and not of any other aircraft. ED didn't model a flight director at all in this A-10C sim. Hence they didn't model it wrong. You may wish to have it modeled, but even then we would need some fact telling us there is a FD in the real one. As long as we don't have this, we will be left by the flight manual, which is telling us how to interpret those steering bars. Since they work as described: No bug.

Because what you are saying may work for VOR radials, TACAN courses and GPS/INS but not when the FD operates solely on receptions of ILS transmissions.

"No" says it all. You can slave the TGP to SOI or to the current steerpoint. The gun pipper is none of these.

Sounds more like an idea for mission scripting. I don't see how you would implement it otherwise. There is no such thing like airspace in the game nor an AI which can handle decisions like that or even have a clue what we talk about here. AI is very limited in DCS...

In real life you can't change color nor intensity.

Great. So it is a start. Good luck!

Piston85, you find those courses in your DCS installation. They are published on the approach charts in the DCSWorld\Doc\Charts\DCS_VAD_Charts_A10C.pdf Hope this helps. I still don't see why you need a FD to do a proper ILS approach, especially since you say you are familiar with IFR. Also I still don't see why we should assume the A-10 bears a Flight Director, at least not one we would expect to behave like FD in civilian aircraft. Regardless if there is a FD or not in the real A-10C, there certainly is none in DCS A-10C.

The A-10C doesn't feature a flight director. You probably refer to the yellow pitch and roll steering bars in the ADI. Read pages 112 and 113 in the A-10C flight manual to understand what exactly they indicate. Let me add on a side note, that a FD should of course react to a course setting, as it is its job to guide you on that course. But again, this is no FD.

No wonder, ED makes us think so every year again.

since OP didn't mention that step, I would assume he omitted that necessary action before start up attempt.

Enter the controls settings and redefine the according axis. All of them.

I would support any development of additional sceneries, no matter if photorealistic or not. DCS lacks theaters.

I added my opinion to the discussion. You aren't required to agree nor to question the point of offering my opinion here as there can't be a discussion without diverging points of view.

Then I just don't get the point of all this hype nor of those livestreams. I don't even really understand what there is to discuss in this thread when still nobody can tell when DCSW2 will arrive. It can't be that close, otherwise they could simply say so. All this teasing about DCS World 2 is going on for about 2 years, maybe even longer. This is ridiculous.

Incorrect. They can be and you should assign them to your full desire with all modules you use.
