Mission 6 Flew it twice and both times had CTDs, First time after using the four AGM65Es successfully Second time after using the four AGM65Es successfully and using guns to kill the remaining helicopter. Missions 1 to 5 were all solid. Thanks

Just to educate myself : This was a failry new driver and I am sure a lot of people still have it. Why would it crash on me ? Any ideas ? Thanks

dcs.log-20210124-225909.zip Here you go. What I also did was to download the latest NVidia drivers. It seems to have fixed the issue. It is a bit weird because the old drivers were from December 2020. The only thing I can think of is that somehow those driver files got corrupted somehow. Thanks

OK folks. Thanks for the clarification.

Hi folks, I have a night mission where I have the Mercury LLTV pod and I can lock onto a target and get the AC notification but cannot get the LA for the Kh29T. The only missiles I can launch at night are laser-guided missiles. Looks like a long-standing bug for the Su25T Any suggestions ? Am I missing something ? Thanks

Well, guess there is a bug in here somewhere - I defined a small 20m zone around each S-300 launcher...but it regularly misses registering one or two out of a full complement of 24 missiles. I simply cannot get all 24 flag value changes to register... tried making small changes to zone size and moving zones slightly...no joy... Thanks

Yeah, I figured out that the zone needs to be small. That solution works well for missiles that do not launch vertically (unlike the S300). Then I see exactly what you mention - some launches do not get counted. I am going to try defining really small zones for every launcher in the site...That ought to give more accurate results... Thanks/

Hi folks, I want to deactivate a group after it has launched all of it's missiles. Tried by setting : Defined missile in defined Zone > flag 1 increase by 1 (repetitive) then Flag 1 value equals 12 > deactivate group but it does not work. Thanks for any tips.

I am not so sure... The Kh-31P should behave in similar fashion to the Kh-31A. The propulsion part is more or less the same. Solid fuel burn for initial acceleration followed by ramjet engine for sustained speed to target. Of course - the guidance systems are different. Kh-31P should be able to sustain cruising speeds similar to the sea-skimming Kh-31A. However, in this currently dumbed-down version the ramjet engine does not work. Hence the missile loses speed as soon as the solid fuel engine burns out. In fact, it becomes a dumb ballistic missile. Aside from the fact that this reduces the speed on final approach to target (and reduces the POK) it also significantly shortens the range. This has been an issue for a long time. I am surprised it has not been fixed.

Hi folks, I have global cockpit illumination turned on. With the latest build I have noticed a slight flicker of the cockpit illumination of the F18. The darkening/brightening is not smooth but jerky... Have not noticed it on the J-11...so it may only be specific to the F18. You have to look hard to see it. But once you do - it gets to be slightly annoying... I have turned off GCI for the moment. Thanks

Thanks for that. When I tested the two axes separately it turns out that it is the right axis that is the cause of my issue. Moving the left creates no problems....

Hi folks, lately, I have noticed that my HOTAS started losing assignments during the game. After many re-calibrations with the TM software I have figured out what happens... When the throttle is in idle all the thumb-controlled buttons on the right side of the throttle (except the top-hat) either stop responding or start sending multiple button triggers at the same time. It also happens in the Control Panel applet - so it is at the hardware level. As soon as I advance the throttle(s) more than 30% all buttons start responding correctly. I am presuming that some kinking and shorting of the wires inside the right throttle has developed. I am thinking of disassembling the package and putting some electrical tape around each button wire. Not sure this is feasible. Any suggestions and opinions are welcome. Thanks

Did not quite get the fact that you were referring to a new VR. All good now...

?!

+1

Yes, VR is an area where I can see myself going - eventually. But, the current resolutions available are not good enough. If I cannot read the F18 gauges without clicking the Zoom button it is a no-go for me. One day - yes.

Hi folks, the title of the topic might seem misleading. You might think that I am not happy with DCS. Actually, it is quite the contrary. Let me explain. I have been a fan of the company since 1995 and the days of Flanker 1.0. Heck, I was even a Beta tester for one of the V2 sub versions. Over the last two and a half decades DCS has always had a place in this simmer's heart (hard drive). While I traditionally preferred Soviet-era aircraft I would occasionally jump into the A10C and the F15. And I enjoyed them too. When DCS starting putting out new aircraft I bought the A10C, then the Mirage, then the Harrier, then the Mig-21, then to JF-17, then the Hornet and finally the Supercarrier. I also bought Nevada and the Persian Gulf. The A10C was their first advanced aircraft so it was a natural move for me - even though I preffer CAP just as much as CAS. Great product. The Mirage was unique - It is French eh! - it is a delta wing - and yes - it is a multirole aircraft. Great product. The Harrier was also unique - VTOL - who does not want that right ? Great product. Made me read up on the Falklands conflict too. I also remember Maggie - very well. The Mig-21 was a purely sentimental purchase. I originally come from a country that originally had almost 200 of them - plus I wanted to support DCS more than anything else. Consequently, I did not spend much time on it. The JF-17 was another unique piece for me. A glimpse of China and Pakistan in a compact multi role package. If the Hornet had not come out it would be my favorite DCS aircraft today. Then the Hornet came out. What can I say ? The depth is insane - at least for me it is. And it is still evolving. Multi role - yummy ! The Superacarrier was a no-brainer after that. No regrets. So now what ? The F-18's systems are so complex (to me anyway) that I have plenty to learn - and keep learning for a long time. I do not see the need to buy anything else. I have more than enough to keep my 63-year old brain busy for a long time. And the JF-17, Harrier and Mirage will do great as occasional diversions from the F18. If I buy anything else I will not have the time to dedicate to the module (probably not the brainpower either) so it would be a waste of money. Yeah, I will likely purchase something just to support DCS. But will I fly it ? I doubt it. What I can see myself spending money on are three things: -Additional campaigns -Additional training missions - even though You Tube is a great source. But it requires weeding out to get to the video applicable to the current state of development. -A study-level Soviet/Russian multi role aircraft. This is definitely the big one for me. Su-27SMK with the F18 depth ? How much do you want for it ? $200 ? You got it. Now I do understand that there are likely at least two reasons why DCS develops mostly Western (and not Russian) modules. - there is not enough demand to cover development costs - a reluctance of the powers-that-be to allow sensitive information about Russian jets to be ported over to the simulation world - even if that information relates to an older version. If we do not have the latest F18 version we also should not aspire to the latest Su-37. But a first-generation multi role Su-27 - I do not see a problem with that. I guess Mr. Vladimir may have a problem with that. I understand. Anyways, I think you get my drift. DCS is - as far as I am concerned - a victim of it's own success. Love the company. I just hope they can stay around for a long time. They may need to re-invent their business model - I wish them all the best. Thanks for reading folks.

Ok. The issue went away. Guess a repair fixed something. All good now... Thanks. PS. mods, feel free to remove this topic.

What about current stable ?

Anyone ? Am I the only one seeing this ? Or is nobody flying the Su-33 any more ? Thanks

I am seeing my Su-33 landing gear collapse under me when spawning on the new Kuznetsov...no I do not have a sticky "G" key. Anybody else seeing this ? Thanks

Thanks. We are good. That little pinkie cannot be controlled with mouse. Either "L" or map to HOTAS.

Stable...
