This actually makes a difference and therefore I just don’t understand why it doesn’t just clear the files every time the game launches

If you switch to STT and go for a single target after firing missiles in TWS before the TWS shots have gone Pitbull, does the aircraft’s radar still give guidance information to those missiles, or do they loose track?

Got a 60nm kill v a Veteran skill level F4 other day. Fired from roughly 40k feet and nearly Mach 1. Height I find makes a big difference with long range shots. AIM54C I find more accurate against the smaller targets than the A.

correct as is Alt-Enter does not work anymore since 2.7.18.30348 update
westr replied to Lange_666's topic in General Bugs
As in the resolution in dcs settings menu? I’m interested to try this I didn’t realise about this. But I thought it just defaulted back to your VR resolution whatever you select in settings? -
Feel like this was a necessary step for ED with so many 4gen western fighters in DCS world now, and I have to say I’m really looking forward to getting a proper Mig29 I’ve wanted this to happen for a long time. It’s going to be a really interesting airplane.

Tomcat is much harder to do aerial refueling than hornet
westr replied to Ddg1500's topic in DCS: F-14A & B
Tomcat is difficult to refuel in midair but not impossible, I’d got reasonably good with her, but left the module for sometime certainly hadn’t tried refuelling for probably over a year, really started getting back into the Tomcat this last month and I tried refuelling again and I was awful, in fact I couldn’t do it at night with NVGs and tanker was in an orbit pattern. I gave up, and I decided to practice with no winds and tanker flying in a straight line and I’ve managed to do it again, I’ve starting to get proficient again with it, it does require constant throttle adjustment once plugged in. With the S3 you seem to be so close to the back of the tanker it requires immense concentration, but it’s doable. My next task is to get good at night and in a turn. Someone has mentioned about VR. I use VR I find yes it’s good for perception, I also have a long extension on my TM warthog. This does really help with precision as well. -
Feedback Thread - Open Beta Update April 10th 2024
westr replied to IronMike's topic in DCS: F-14A & B
Once the F4 is released will you start looking at the pilot body in the F14, lacks movement when applying toe brakes and would be nice to see some animations similar to the F15E by Razbam. Are animations something you are looking at creating for your modules. -
terrible VR stutters after latest patch in the F15E hopefully its isolated to that aircraft, checking the others now.

F-4E Phantom II Development Update and Release Delay Announcement
westr replied to IronMike's topic in DCS: F-4 Phantom
Pilot body looks really cool. -
Any chance you can point me in the direction of exactly which one you got. I just want to make sure I get one that works. This Steam VR fail issue has been driving me nuts for years now. Thanks.

I have terrible ghosting with vr and mt im interested in trying this and seeing if there’s an improvement
-
Won’t get to my pc for a few days has anyone noticed the problem has been fixed with mega frame drops in vr on south Atlantic map but only happens when at low level?
-
I do hope so Has the spitfire received improved textures?

I really hope so. And Saudi Arabia or part of it. -

westr replied to Graphics's topic in Official Newsletters
Probably the best DCS newsletter I’ve ever seen. A full Mig-29 module, an F6F Hellcat, pacific ww2 operations, recreating operation Desert Storm. It’s like a dream come true all I’ve wanted since flight simming. I really hope we get a decent Tornado and it doesn’t get cancelled and for me then it's going to be perfect. -

Saw a video of a ED mission in South Atlantic map mimicking shipping attacks in the Norwegian fjords, and in the mission the creator explains that the navigator guides and sets the DR directional radio. Gives navigational instruction and sorts fuel out. How do we get this to happen in missions we create in the mission editor? As far as I was aware we don’t yet have an AI navigator for the Mossie.
-
Great thanks that’s good to know
-
would it be possible to reduce the effect of these reflections in the sight glass on the hind. They are much more prominent in VR.
-
Agreed.
-
thought I had solved the problem on this by putting terrain textures to low. Flew for 20 or so mins with no issues then flying low over water as soon as I go below 800ft frames go from 45 to 22 with stuttering
-
I hear you and you are completely entitled to give your opinion. I agree with a lot of what your saying. All I will say though is I am actually a big fan of them (RAZBAM), they obviously have some extremely talented people in their ranks. I would go as far as to say in my view they are the best 3rd party developer, but I am a VR only user and their products seem to work exceptionally in VR, maybe with the exception of the SA map. I just think they have lost their way a little with this one.

I agree, when the falklands map as I’m pretty sure it was described as was first being developed, we all had falklands war scenarios in our minds, and why wouldn’t we. It’s one of the most recent air wars resulting in a number of air to air engagements and a large number of shoot downs involving both air to air and surface to air weapons. I thought that was the whole point of it. So to hear that the FRS1 wasn’t being developed puts a kind of what’s the point sort of feeling on this map, particularly after developing all the naval assets invincible class etc. Maybe I’m speaking a bit out of turn, it could be many people that live in that region are really enjoying this map and if that’s the case good for them, I do have a particular love for the Sea Harrier FRS1 so maybe there is a little bias there, but it was the most significant aircraft of the Falklands war shot down over 20 aircraft and I just think surely they should have researched this more to ensure they could develop it before creating this map.

VR perspective. The main issue I find with the SA map is its VR performance around built up areas. It also doesn’t work at low level atm but this is a well reported issue and I believe it must be something that can be fixed as it happens after a period of time. I don’t like the look of the buildings they look unrealistic, I’m not sure if it’s the colours? Can’t say for sure but I’m just being honest, i don’t often moan about Razbams work, I’m a big fan of them. The 3 best maps in my opinion in terms of performance and how they look, and it’s my opinion! Are Caucasus with the Barthek mod, and the better darker trees mod, The Normandy map, I do use a darker Normandy mod. and the Nevada map. therefore I have voted for synthetic, but I will say at high altitude over mountains on the SA map it does look beautiful.
