You're dealing with a guy who opposed adding a filter to the DCS server list to hide servers with mods and asset packs you don't have.
Since unofficial mods are unofficial the game wouldn’t know what they are in order to filter them. There could be an overall mods On or Off mode but I wouldn’t want the Devs to spend their limited resources on mods one way or the other.

you seem to have not read my comment that the use of the suggestion should be OPTIONAL for players to choose whether or not to use it.Optional or not, the problem with this suggestion is that it gives unofficial mods an official treatment. Trying to make it easier for players to put things into the game that will break it. The reason you don’t see enough people joining your server is most players are savvy enough to know that these mods aren’t worth the trouble they cause. Encouraging their use in MP and popularizing them through in-game features would be detrimental.

Please no. What you’re describing there seems like a horrible mess. Unofficial mods cause too many problems and I don’t think very many people want to be forced to deal with them in order to play online. If someone wants to use these on an individual basis that’s their choice. But trying to go too far encouraging their widespread use is problematic.
Frankly what you’re asking for can already be done so I’m not sure why ED would need to be involved. A mission briefing could easily include links to these mods. And there is already a User Files section on the DCS website for these. But again I think you will find most people aren’t interested.-

If money was no object,... VR
Well no amount of money will make VR perform well, so… better stick with a monitor.
Personally I wouldn’t spend a huge sum of money on a screen that wasn’t an OLED. G-Sync support is also a must-have feature for any high refresh screen IMO. It’s possible that Nvidia cards will support FreeSync on some monitors but in my experience it didn’t happen.

Why would it matter if this wear and tear state was persistent between missions? It’s not relevant to the game role you are playing as a pilot. Unless you’re simulating someone flying an unmaintained aircraft which never happens.

Well, you could argue Stable is the new OB.

No not really. The beta testing is just all closed now instead of open. There’s no such thing as “Stable” and “Open Beta” anymore. Just one public release version.

Eventually ED dropped Stable release altogether, and only carried on Open Beta as the main version.
I think you’ve got it backwards. They dropped the Open Beta or kept the beta testing internal to ED. The public release is a stable version.

A cut-throttle method for straight-deck carriers and full-throttle method for angled-deck carriers. (Correct me if I'm wrong).
I don’t think angled-deck carriers existed in WWII. AFAIK the first one was the USS Antietam in 1952

I am not against a such option in general, but navigating an airfield behind a computer is not a whole lot different compared to real life. Ground personel (unless you request a follow-me because you got lost) will only help you at your parking spot and at the arming pad next to the runway. For everything inbetween, it is your responsability as the pilot to navigate according to ATC instructions. Use the charts, taxiway marking and signs to your aid. Learn how to read these signs and charts to navigate around.
Yeah but DCS doesn’t give you taxi instructions. If a server inhibits your external views and your plane location you’ll be unable to find your way. Again I usually see this enabled though. In SP if you like “fog of war” and the ability to get lost there’s always the external camera when you’re on the ground.

You can already see this on the F10 map like is shown in your example. Nearly every server I see has your aircraft symbol enabled, likely for this reason.

If 2 dots in 1440 & 1080 are what the expectation of the feature is, It needs to reflect the same in 4k is all I am saying.
The “expectation” of the feature is in how the Auto mode functions. I believe it draws 1 pixel for 1080x1920 and 2x2 pixels for 2160x3840 (these sizes would be equal). The manual adjustments are what they are, they’ll always be exploitable or egregious if applied to a lower resolution. Honestly 4 pixels in 4K is still quite large. 4 pixels in 1080p is gigantic. If you’re starting to realize what a bad system this is… you’re right.
If you want bigger dots in SP there’s always the dot labels. I believe those are configurable any way you like them. -

Your logfile is outdated!
This logfile is from 25-06-01!
That’s June 1st 2025. That’s correct. Everything is running fine now. I just did a repair and the trouble hasn’t repeated.
1 hour ago, silverdevil said:Please use the bin\DCS.exe instead of the bin-mt\DCS.exe.,
Why are there two of these? My install of the game is from after ST was discontinued, that’s what the installer set up. In any case it doesn’t seem to matter.

Verify that this is configured correctly in Windows:
Game Mode disabled,
Hardware accelerated GPU scheduling disabled,
Core Isolation disabledTuning Tips
Turn off SSLR.,
Disable civil traffic.,
Consider using DLAA.Honestly I don’t think the analyzer hands out the correct advice. It just says this same thing for every log. Core parking is already disabled in W11 running the high performance power plan. Game Mode really doesn’t affect anything. Same with HAGS. Plus I run other games so messing with the machine just for DCS isn’t practical.
Disabling core isolation isn’t a good idea as it’s a security risk.
Those graphics tips don’t make much difference either. Or I just don’t like the effects. None of these make the game crash or not.

I think you’re looking for a different game. DAMS Digital Aircraft Maintenance Simulator
As a pilot it’s irrelevant to you whether your hard flight the day before required the crew to work all night pulling the engines from your plane. Your job remains the same.
Certain dynamic war servers (and hopefully the upcoming dynamic campaign) already track resources like fuel, weapons and whether or not you bring the plane back. But handling any more than that probably isn’t feasible or realistic. And ED likely doesn’t have the resources to add modeling every loose screw to modules that already take years to complete.And looking at the example of WWII with its extreme demands on materiel and resources, how hard the pilots handled their aircraft simply wasn’t a factor. Even severe combat losses didn’t affect the ability of nations to keep their aircraft flying or their industry running. Maybe in extreme cases like the final stages of the war for the Axis but the truth is they really ran short on pilots, not aircraft.

While leaving the dots on 2, 4k just has no noticeable difference. Where as 1080 & 1440 are just incredibly obvious. I tried to revisit it today and really didn't notice that much of a difference while on 1080 or 1440. But like I said 4k just does not reflect the feature at all.
4K definitely shows dots, I’m using that and can certainly see them. But again the setting can just be exploited at lower resolutions and a 3 size option would just make it even more so. Off is the most realistic setting for these anyways.

I believe it already scales like that. “Small” is 1 pixel and “Large” is 2x2 pixels. So in Auto mode 4K dots are 4x the size of 1080p ones. Of course the system can just be exploited by manually selecting large dots at 1080p
Most all the severs I see allow this manual setting. So when you play online just realize you’re visible to the other players as a giant square.

The 13 and 14 series both suffer from potential degradation issues.
Although that was a very bad problem it’s since been remediated through BIOS updates. Those were introduced about August of 2024. So a new chip won’t have that issue.

The game froze and I had to cancel it running.

No but close, came in September and there was a correction for the 14900 up an updated BIOS soon after. Dell had me run some series of tests (don't recall the program name) and based on the results they figured it was ok. They gave me an extended service plan through 2026 just in case.
Are you thinking this is my crash issue (it's only DCS by the way) or just noted my spec in the sig?
Whew that sounds better. When mine crapped out that’s what happened. Everything crashed.
-
Did you own that 14900KF prior to the BIOS microcode fix last August or so?
Are you aware of the Intel 13-14 series degradation issue?

This is what the old Trench Experience was like. It was cold and had this authentic smell.

I was just there a few weeks ago. The last time I had visited was back in ‘99. It’s quite an impressive collection. The uniforms are in such good condition they could be mistaken for repros which I assume they are not. It’s a bummer that the Trench Experience is gone or greatly reduced. That was fantastic. Definitely a must see place.

How would the game filter unofficial content? The only thing it could determine is On or Off.
And again if you’re just looking for a way to encourage or popularize the use of these in the online game that’s a No-Go
