Has any of you guys made a list of freqs/ navaids for this map yet? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Hi I am a real life C152 Student pilot and have a decent understanding of flight theory etc! I have used DCS for many years! I am watching all gauges and temps and without doing anything rash at cruise speeds BANG engine pops and it’s belly landing or bail!! Any advice on what I’m doing wrong!

Hi I have noticed that there is no sound when the sparrow is fired. Sidewinder is fine and has the usual whoosh.

Firstly Chucks Guide is hard to beat! If you bought the module prior to the last updates it may pay to delete via module manager and start fresh. That’s helped quite a few with bugs etc!

Hi Guys Firstly this is one smooth module for early access!! Just a few questions! I’m having some issues with Tacan and ATC with this bird in Persian Gulf. Sometimes the Tacan bug just does a 360 on the HSI when all options are selected and on there is no atc chatter at any of the airfields. Is this a known EA issue with both 18 and PG? Will a TGP be introduced in the release version with Mavericks etc! Cheers G

The Mavericks range varies with systems used, your velocity, weapons velocity, elevation, visibility and I’m sure I could add many more factors! 7.5 miles from TGT is certain and 98% sure of a kill! I have had the chance to see a real one go bang when I was on the ground! I don’t fancy a fighter jock firing on a tgp or any other sensor unless they can see the Union Flag on my arm!!

It would be amazing if we could get a dev to work on an iconic Vietnam Map especially for the Huey! Although the Mig 15 would not be out of place and maybe the F5!! We would need some old napalm though!!

Hi It would be amazing if the character was controllable after ejecting and on the ground! If we had an option for a mayday call before ditching and could watch and enter a rescue UH1! I know it’s not Arma but that would be very immersive! Only a thought! We are allowed to dream!!

Hi all! With the release of PG can we get relevant units based on Islamic State or in this PC world maybe called Insurgents!! A nice variation of different countries would be great! It’s still the best flight sim sandbox, however please give us some more tools! Also for infantry if we could select and spawn realistic 8-10 man squads with different weapons etc that would be great. Cheers G

Great job to date! Although I’m no fighter pilot, I fly light aircraft for fun and have to say the harrier is very realistic in feel compared to other modules. I can tell when effort has been made by 3rd party developers and it certainly has here! Although I like action packed homemade missions, even performing routine stuff like circuits in this is great fun! It’s great to see the real limitations on weight for STOL has been implemented! That’s why the safety record in real life was quite poor! Combat pilots planning for maximum ordnance weight and balancing with fuel! A heavy weapons weight is fine if you have a full size runway, however if you are operating from a FARP you will need to RTB more often to refuel and rearm! I’m from Belfast N.Ireland. We have the second made SC1 prototype on display here in Belfast which was the second successful STOL craft flown in 1957! So this one is close to home for us Irish guys!

Maybe a chemical or nuclear site!! Great idea for missions. Might make a strike mission with fast air and sf inf on UH1’s!

Hi I just purchased DCS PG and was wondering if anyone has any favourite mission areas on the map? Looking some ideas for A/G with A10C or Harrier. Textures looking good overall! Cheers G

In the interim I have just printed my own via google maps! You could maybe buy the relevant VFR or IFR charts of the airspace! They might be quite accurate, although costly! Hopefully someone can make one for a free download!

Hi Guys I have noticed that the ATC is not responding or is delayed in responding in 2.5 with A10C and Harrier in Batumi. Using advanced ATC and all frequencies are correct ETC. Permission to start is fine, just waiting on the line for takeoff permission and nothing! If I go on to the runway I get unable to takeoff then get permission. Have tried positioning the aircraft at different spots and waiting at least 5 mins. Is it me or is there a bug? The 2.5 is pretty much the best and most accurate flight sim in 2018!! I have followed since Lock On many years ago!

Thanks for the comments! All bitching apart I’m looking forward to a fix! There is no other sim that Matches DCS! Just completed a several hour A10C flight and it’s still hard to beat!

Hi guys Is an update for EGT settings being rolled out anytime soon? No further updates have been given and it seems I am not the only concerned customer! I fly fixed wing in real life and I know many customers seem to be putting up with this and think that it’s accurate, but there is no way it is! I have not flown a chopper however I was Air Assault and in a Lynx regularly! There would be a lot more UH-1 hulls lying in the Vietnam countryside if it was! In this sim even a cargo of 4 pax puts far to much stress on the systems! In real missions the weight would have been on the limits of design, especially with a heavy load of ammo or as many casualties as they could carry! Lots of armchair pilots seem to be happy with a very slow takeoff, however it’s clear in real life an abrupt lift under fire would have been possible! I’m sure the real combat pilots knew the exact time and heat limits they had before anything went pop! Seems the representation of EGT is way short of this! The UH-1 is flyable yes, but not usable in any mission! DCS is not FSX or X-Plane! I’m rather disappointed that something as critical as this has not been rectified. It appears the concern is mainly to work on the newer product prior to even looking at this. All we want is an update! I don’t normally rant, however this is becoming frustrating. It was one of my favourite modules! Hope it gets resolved quickly! I have been a supporter of all your products, however get the feel that the greed for more revenue is conflicting with customer support!

Hi Guys! Starting to enjoy using the CA was on some home made missions. Q1. When in FP mode in say a plt of 4 mbts, how do you get the other vehicles to follow in formation? Q2. Can you enter FP mode in the WW2 assets? Noticed it doesn’t look like we currently can. Cheers Gary

Hi Guys! I have had a run of bad luck lately! Apart from issues with egt on the UH1, now the P51 cuts out when all is in the green! Any ideas? Is it another bug on 2.5? Or am I doing something wrong? Cheers

Hope they get he right settings soon! This is one of my favourite modules! I have spent a fair bit of time putting together a SF rescue mission with some great features! Can’t even finish it myself and I made it lol! All the bitching aside! No other game matches the realism of DCS. It’s growing into what I dreamed of having when I was a kid!! The spectrum 128k and F16 combat pilot didn’t really cut it haha!

I have tried everything! Just a severe lack of lift no matter what! I don’t think they have got it right with the EGT! If hat was the case there would be a crash every flight in real life!! Made a mission with a hot LZ. Minimal fuel and load. When I pick up 4 troops the EGT spikes then engine failure! Surely hats not right! Any help would be appreciated by the DEVS!

Hi Guys I love the UH1 sim! Never tried rotor in real life however I fly fixed wing for fun! I seem to have engine blow outs every flight now! I’ve tried reducing the throttle and being gentle, however I feel the current system is to unforgiving! There is litterally no lift whatsoever now. My start up is text book and done to the letter. I have tried less loads / fuel etc and still the same. Some help would be appreciated! Cheers Gary

Hi guys! I’m looking a mission wish list for the for 2.5 build. I intend to delve into the more complicated mission making side of the game. I will be placing the final builds in the DCS user file area. Looking to see what people want!! I’m EX Services so have a bit of background knowledge on procedures etc! I’m sick of the boring basic missions available and want to create something more immersive and current! I’m game to do modern and WW2. I have a basic mission up on User Files “Operation Fury SP”. It’s only the tip of the iceberg playing with some interesting concepts. Tell me what you want and I’ll put the work in!!

Cheers guys It was Batumi I was using, however I have had several ILS Landings in the 1.5 build. Will replicate and record them see if I can crack it! Thanks for your help so far! Will also confirm the stow switch is in the correct position.

Hi guys. I have everything set up for an ILS Landing and no ils needles show for the final. All I can see is the cdi and the point to the left of where he needles are caged! Any ideas? Can one of you vets tell me the correct point system for setting everything up in case I’ve missed something. As far as I’ve read I’m pretty sure my set up is right! Thanks in advance Gary
