The best way is often to fly visually using the F10 map, looking out and comparing the DCS World to the map.

Though I believe the smoke trail is more DCS in general.

Something is wrong here. The aircraft is influenced by crosswind like it's on the ground, it weahtervanes as someone said.

"Landning" is basically an eastern ILS while "Glidepath" I assume is similar to what we have in the 21. Glidepath will give you steering commands to descend while you are approaching the RSBN station, if you follow the commands you will be at certain altitudes at certain distances. I don't have the manual on my tablet so I won't swear this is true.

Been there done that! ;)

Nice first post Yeoman!

Hi! Take a look at this old thread from pprune. http://www.pprune.org/archive/index.php/t-279352.html Of course this might only be true for the Boeing 737 but it could be an indication for similarities in other ILS and FD systems. It's kind of like flying a raw data ILS with the HSI course incorrectly set 20 degrees off, it's possible but the initial intercept will probably be messed up even though the needle in the HSI shows a correct indication.

Q: Will we have some (~50 m) visibility in overcast clouds in 2.0/1.5? So that a flight lead might lead his wingman in for an instrument approach, even though the wingman isn't too familiar with IFR.

Further down the page I see an image depicting it on the left side so I'm betting on mirrored images.

The standard one on my fruit labeled phone ;) I forgot to add the total elapsed target time in the video, the time I should pass each waypoint counting from take off.

Thank you for watching!

This is nice but there's really no point in establishing in the race track when we have a TACAN with DME, just fly inbound on track 119 at 3500 feet and switch to ILS around 11 miles. Though learning how to fly a race track is great for pure NDB approaches!

Hello internets! I've made two videos were I demonstrate a low level flight and a rocket attack. Hopefully someone will enjoy it, if you have the patience to watch it all that is. Part 1, briefing. Part 2, flight.

Is this applicable to AAA units as well?

I might be biased but...hmm...

I'd bet that's acceptable.

Oh, then you should be getting more frames I suppose...I'll just back away and monitor this thread for any solutions. Good luck!

Of course DCS in its current state is a huge bottleneck itself but even I have better performance with my i7 3770k at 3,9, a single GTX 980 and 6 gb of RAM. On large missions I suffer too but generally it's ok.

I'm by no means an expert on this but to me it looks like you have a powerful processor, in regards to the number of cores. DCS however only manage to use two of those, so I think it is preferable to have fewer but higher clocked cores.

Can anyone confirm with screenshots and labels that you can spot a smoke trail from 20-30 kilometers in DCS?

Use a hat on your joystick. Trim constantly with the intention of being able to release the joystick at any time, without much happening.

My apartment was cold so I left the computer running with this thread open, expecting it to catch fire… To my surprise and relief it's still cold in here!! ;)
