Try using one of the cockpit mods available this gained a few FPS for me.

Just wondered if people find that the dive speed correct on the jug. I find it doesn’t catch up with a 109 in a dive, from what I’ve read it was unmatched in the dive. Anybody have any thoughts?

I have noticed for me that having altitude advantage makes a big difference with Pheonix hit rate now. Im getting good fps with good image quality, once pilot bodies are released this will be the perfect module, Tomcat has never been better HB

Yes thanks took permission of my DCS root directory and now works

same here

I've flown a couple of missions where i've trapped with about 300lbs of fuel and one where I connected to the tanker with 100lbs, was thinking it would be good if Jester started to get really stressed about your fuel state when critical, I know we get call outs for joker etc. Thinking I would be like the start of Top Gun lol

Adjusted AIM-54 terminal guidance, significantly improving AIM-54 overall performance.

if anyone is having trouble saving the reshade preset.ini file I got round it by going to security clicking on edit permissions and adding myself to take permission of the file. I also run DCS as an administrator, one of the two worked anyway I was able to then save the preset instead of having to re-do all my reshade settings every time I entered the game, was driving me nuts.

Thankyou yes ive worked out how to apply although if i do it in game dcs crashes but I can apply the settings in DCS main menu via steam toolbar Crashes seem to be the 3dmigito mod installed as I tried reshade 5.0 on my OB which doesn't have 3dmigoto installed and no crashes. Only thing that doesn't seem to work on reshade 5.0 VR is saving the preset, and you don't seem to be able to make a new profile as well as you cant type in a name for it in the keyboard. But the visuals i'm getting are amazing with this.

i've installed 5.0 correctly but it still doesn't work in VR for me, does anybody have an idea where im going wrong. I have some files from the previous version of reshade that work. I got them here Release OpenVR support with basic VR preset · fholger/reshade · GitHub But I just cant get 5.0 to work in VR.

i'm unable to install echo 19 f14 sound mod to open beta keeps saying access denied, i'm able to install to stable dcs on another drive, have tried giving write permissions tried repairing dcs open beta then installing still wont work, really annoying

cant get this to work for me VR sharpening etc works in my monitor but not in my headset. Reverting back to the previous version of reshade it worked great with VR.

could we add an option to add videos to the briefing screens to add immersion to campaigns maybe, news reels etc, would be a neat option.

definitely agree 100% on this

Very exciting, just having a AI British interceptor for mission building will be great. Thanks.

Ive noticed someone has started a thread about object distance, but ive started another in the hope Ugra media will read this, draw distance is unlike any other map, trees still grow in VR, so do some objects, it doesn't happen with Caucasus or PG etc. Please can you do something about this, I dont think its an unreasonable request. The map is so well done in so many aspects its such a shame that this cant be sorted.

Is there any more plans to model performance or is this the definitive model of the missile now?

If you take the aircraft for what it was intended, a long range interceptor, it was exactly that, it had very good range, was efficient, had a good radar (in the end), amraam capability (in the end). The JTIDS system was effective, like the datalink system we know. Its funny but if aircraft like the starfighter or delta dart are mentioned they are held in high regard. Unfortunately for the ADV it seemed to come into service at a time when the emphasis was on highly manurable fighter aircraft like the Mig 29 Su27 F16 F18, and a dogfighter it was not, and sadly over time the Tornado F3 seems to be remembered as a lame duck. I have an affection for the aircraft because I think it looked very elegant, and I would love to fly it in DCS, but I have to admit if a developer announced a Tornado and said they were doing the ADV I would be disappointed, its the IDS variant that would bring so much to DCS.

he does have a very valid point though, I tried creating a mission, had a flight flying a few minutes in front of me to perform SEAD one flies far more forward than the other and upon nearing enemy SAM the forward aircraft just turned and run and dumped all its weapons. Restrict jettison doesn't seem to work. So I increased the number to 4 aircraft and set the option to group attack, got some sort of stability where a few would release a missile before dumping there weapons. But I had a flight of F16s with me performing escort and despite setting them to escort me they decided to hang back and not engage the enemy. So I deleted the escort flight and enemy aircraft and guess what the SEAD package no longer worked and went back to not engaging the SAM, why? You tell me. At this point I'm banging my head against the wall, I spent ages on it and in the end just gave up, these DCS campaign creators are artists they truly are. DCS AI has a long way to go because it is very important that they function effectively for a dynamic campaign, And I'm not being overly critical DCS has lots and lots going for it but yes the AI really needs work.

dynamic campaign and a Tornado GR1

A Iraq map is surely on the agenda at some point, we have lots of aircraft for a Desert Storm scenario.

They have posted some very neat renders of the pilots in the cockpit. But I still don’t know for sure if this means there will be an in cockpit VR pilot?

Yes with that lineup I can’t see the Tornado coming from HB which is a shame for me as they have showed what they can do with an interdiction Aircraft. I do feel it would be a great addition to dcs but what made the old DI sim so great was the ME and the ability to command multiple flights arranging times on target and also the way the dynamic campaign worked, hitting water supplies would effect the enemy’s morale etc. It was groundbreaking for its time, and as of yet we still have nothing like it in dcs. My wish is for a similar style dynamic campaign and a tornado module one day.

has anyone got any skins for UK pilots for the updated pilots in the gazelle now?
