i just chose different countries - that doesn't do it. How do i choose the color.

I'm trying to create a mission where i take off meet up with enemy aircraft. But the problem is that the enemy aircraft seems to be bypassing me and landing at the airport I took off from. What do I need to do to engage?

I'd like to position my airplane on a specific runway for takeoff. Can that be done? I can put it on the runway - but it's pointed the wrong way.

Thanks. I cut the deadzone and curve in half - and it's much better. Able to land 3x in a row!!! A little bit of deadzone is a good idea because otherwise it gets too twitchy and the nose will yaw left/right. In a real airplane the rudder is never that sensitive.

I'm doing the landing instant mission and it starts with the plane yawing to the right. I have to put in left rudder to center the ball. Anyone know why that's the case..settings issue? I looked at my rudder axis RZ and when I don't have my feet on the pedals - it looks centered in the tuning panel. I've got the RZ panel set to: Deadzone 10 Sat X 100 Sat Y 88 Curvature 20 Slider, Inverted and User Curve are not selected.

Zoom-in - as in getting closer to the instruments. I wrote zoom-in - but it might be a case of getting closer to the instruments - moving forward. The FOV angle seems to be the same. The starting point is just right - and then it zooms in way to close. Well ED can keep the zoom-in feature - but maybe there's a way of starting further back and then zoom in to the old starting position. That would work.

When any mission starts - in cockpit view - the viewport zooms in a bit. How can one disable that? Or at least set the preferred viewport.

Why does the plane veer right after take off? With neutral rudders - shouldn't the plane veer to the left - because of gyroscopic precession? Or do these props rotate the other way?

I think this plane should take off on mains right? Firstly when and how forward to you move the stick - so that the plane is flying on it's mains. Also what's the rotate speed.

Ok did that - but still didn't address the not so visible digits on the PVI800. I read: Background (ghost "8" digits) view for UV-26, PVI-800 and weapon displays, But didn't know what to make of it. The problem is that the lit state of the LED digits is too close the background color - so not so clear. It's certainly not so clear as in your spoiler shots. Maybe I can edit the dds files or something - what's the format?

I'm on a 1920x1080 display - don't see a noticable difference between stock and this mod...anything in particular I should look out for. also the digits on the PVI800 - the red contrast is not good - seems to be a time of day thing - anyway to change the contrast and/or the background/foreground color.

Save a track and playback and more often than not - the playback results in a different playback...often a successful mission ends in a failed playback. Can this bug be fixed! It's relatively easy to replicate - i fly the black shark. I don't have any mods installed - dcs 1.5 - and the problem happens even if you don't touch anything or speed it up. This is highly irritating - because I'd like to save my successful missions and replay them.

Problem du-jour. I play a mission - I win. I play the track back - and I lose. Since the track file seems to store incremental changes (delta) over time - as soon as it misses somethng in the middle - the rest of the playback can be different - or completely different in my case. I don't have any mods installed. I did speed it up...but then I re-played the track again w/o speed up and there was another variation. I would really like to save my tracks and replay my successes - few as they are. Anything I can do to fix or minimize this error. Again no mods and I don't believe i touched anything - except F2 and move the mouse and occasional F1 and F6.

Is there any documentation for designing missions... Specifically triggers etc. How would I say - the mission is lost if a bridge is destroyed.

Actually just created a simple mission - 1 against enemy - fun. I would like to change it to PVP - 1 against 1 for now...should be easy. I'll set up a MP session - maybe this weekend. I guess I have to enable the router to forward the port# to host the game right?

Yes - maybe 2 at each FARP and there's a small town in the middle...they meet there and fight it out. Or another scenario - work together against enemy. Most MP sessions seem to cater to jets or there's no set mission - granted i haven't joined a serious group. But 2x2 mission or for that matter 1x1 - should be quick to get going...

Are there any KA50 specific multiplayer servers. I think it'd be great fun to have a 2 on 2 or something similar - very simple.

I never thought about that...but I would prefer not to go there? The campaign should have been designed slightly easier at the beginning few missions - how about the enemy doesn't shoot until they're shot at first..or aim is not super good. And of course they should try to fix the "see thru trees/buildings" issue.

You're having this problem most probably when you're busy/maneuvering/combat. I like to hold trim in during any major moves and then release trim - and joystick. If during the maneuver - you inadverdently release the trimmer (even for a ms) but still NOT release the joystick to center - you'll get the behavior you're seeing. If you see the JS not doing what you want - release it immediately to center and then continue.

Getting a little bit frustrated with this campaign.. After many tries, I finally got the first one done (Bridgehead) and then promptly DCS forgot I did it and is making me do it again. Other missions - the enemy is too well hidden and too deadly. e.g. in the "find the convoy" mission - i'm flying low and looking around - get over a ridge and before I know it - shot down! in another mission, where you go into the center of the city - again flying low and as hinted fly along the roads - didn't see a single enemy vehicle but shot down nonetheless. another mission where the enemy is in a relativly open area - got all of them but cannot find the last vehicle. but every time i pop up a little bit - get a attack warning...but still cannot find this guy. some missions don't give you too much time - if you're too careful - mission is over. I'm flying low (around 100m or less) and relatively fast - have completed another campaign - so not a complete noob. but getting frustrated...

Thanks - i missed that last folder.

What planes can I land on a carrier + air fuel... I would prefer a full sim airplane like the A10 - or at least fully clickable. Thanks.

I want to change the initial settings - sequence #, flares in seq# - because that's something I have to do manually at the beginning of each flight. e.g. 011. you could set that in a file in DCS 1.2

What do you mean by "restart repair". Rename the DCS folder under Saved Games to something else and then just restart DCS right. That inits a new DCS folder and then I copied the old Config folder to the newly created folder. Seems to be better but I did bump down a lot of settings.
