While we are at it might I humbly request a button that function's as the typical "Gear Up/Down" lever-button? I will concede this is more difficult in the MiG-21 than other planes, and maybe we could reach a compromise that looks like something like this: If gear is down on take-off -1st press unlocks gear handle fixator and places gear handle in neutral, -2nd places gear handle in up and locks gear handle fixator. reverse for landing. The reason I am asking this that might elude some people: Right now I need my mouse to raise my gear, which I need to control my joystick. As a right handed person you might see how this aided some fiery crashes... :3 Also is it normal that I can't bind the Flaps up/down command to something other than the keyboard? (I know there is the extra joystick command, but that will not let me change the flaps in increments) <3 your module, it really raises the bar for all other 3rd party devs... and ED!

Any Word on Fix for Incorrect Plane Loading? First of all DCS version: 1.2.10 32095 (standalone!) Steps taken before bug submit: DCS Update & repair. Restarting the campaign: Multiple times. The Problem: FC3 (F-15C) OFFICIAL campaign (Bear Trap) & alteast another mission don't start in the right plane on the right side. For example when I start the Bear Trap campaign, I spawn in an Su-27 on the red side. Although the other campaign's look fine at first glance. The mission "FC3-F-15C-Clean Sweep.miz" first started me in a MiG-29A(red), Mission "FC3-F-15C-No Fly Zone.miz" spawn me in a Su-25T(red). Other than the F-15C, I noticed atleast one other Russian mission to exhibit the same behaviour: "FC3-Su-27-Hawgs to Slaughter.miz" Spawns A-10C (blue) I did a quick look at the "Hawg's to the slaughter" mission and the player setting is correct and no other flight is set to player. Also I double checked from where I am loading the mission: "DCS World\Mods\aircraft\Flaming Cliffs\Missions\EN\Single" .. I am telling this to ensure this is not an issue with the recent aircraft/s folder change, I also checked that no 'aircrafts" folder under mods exists. This bug was reported on the steam forums by Sebastiaan Mottel here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/223750/discussions/0/616188473182808052/ Thx for that mate! Apo

On the danger of starting a realism debate: Is there anything planned in the direction of a "gear up/down" keyboard shortcut...? :p

Haha I fell for that too! There is a different flaps setting for joystick (under Flight Controls too) - look for: "Flaps In (joystick)" "Flaps Landing (joystick)" "Flaps Take-Off (joystick" Reason for this is probably that the flaps here are buttons like in the Dora, not a lever that gets pulled up and down like in the Mustang. Anyone found an easy way to put gear up/down? :D :)

Anyone else who used the FARP texture mod has now problems with farp texture? Tried to delete all the files that the mod used but the problem persists... I mean this mod: http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/771998/ + the recommended. edit: nevermind, note to self: double and triple check before you post.. :P

Also note there is a default "landing" mission for the Su-33 build into FC3. DCS:World Single Player -> Instant Action -> select the FC3 tab -> on the bottom "Su-33 recovery to deck" Have fun! :D

Yes there is an extra tab for it in the mission editor when you select the aircraft. (like ordnance&waypoint tab) There you can set up the frequencys for the different radio channels.

Oh damn, I was flying with you before I think on the 104th and wasn't aware of this and went about my normal cursing ways. Will keep that in mind! :)

Saw this posted in the bug section before. Never tried it, but maybe you can set them up as static objects? Obviously not an option if you want them to do something at a certain point.

Everyday you learn something new. I guess this is a point for the wishlist?

Nice I bought it aswell. Now I just need to survive this long week of waiting. :D

Also a little tipp: With ground charts like these http://www.ariescon.com/index14.html you can skip the trial & error part of finding out where every parking slot is! :)

I think a protip for new pilot's is to ask this kind of question in this thread: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=56027 That way you can mostly avoid the flak you would get for starting a thread with a common question. Welcome to DCS. :) Most modules have a similar topic.

Ohne jetzt auf das technische einzugehen, was wahrscheinlich ohne einen Dev eh wenig bringt, möchte ich doch mal auf einen anderen Punkt eingehen, die Priorität. :) Wenn man sich das mal grob zusammen rechnet (natürlich ohne vollständigkeits anspruch und korrektheit der reihenfolge!): - EDGE - Neue Module - Dynamic campaign - Andere theater/Nevada - SP/MP Stabilität - Neue einheiten - lauter anderer scheiss der mir gerade nich einfällt (liste ist echt lang^^) ... lange pause.. - 3D Mission Editor So, jetzt kommt noch das ganze Technische oben drauf. :) Lange rede, kurzer Sinn: Es gibt eine riesige Liste an features die wir gerne haben möchten bzw. als dringend erachten, aber vergleichsweise wenig ressourcen. Jeder hat da so seine eigenen Favoriten, aber ich denke es ist nicht abzustreiten welche Punkte bei dem großteil der community vorne liegen. Bleibt nur zu hoffen das EDGE wirklich der versprochene Erlöser ist! :D

I should just stop reading this forums, the false hope I bath myself in everytime I read some news here are soul crushing. :D Luckily the Sabre&Dora manage to keep my attention away from the lack of any MiG-goodness in my life. :joystick:

Good find! :D Name yourself!

Good way is if you can see kills in chat, saw an aircraft shoot&kill somebody and you def. know it's enemy. Most of my hog A2A kills were that way. Now sometimes I did shoot on aircraft, where I wasn't sure if they were hostile or friendly. That can go either way, and you don't really want to take the risk to take out a friendly. And as Exorcet said, you may want to try to learn the different skins for the countrys, but speaking for myself, I can't really do that. :D

You get into them the same way you would into a tank for example, via F10, select it and use the button at the top left (little tank symbol). Sorry I am not using CA very much, you should look into your controls, there is a button for that. Note that not all SAM's are usable via the first/third person view. On a sidenote: Just went and checked the manual and it looks like it's not updated for the 'new' SAM features. (They were just added a few patches back) edit: Ooops, too late. Insert it was! :D I found the 3rd person view was way better in urban/cluttered regions and while going up a hill to get a feel where you are and what you might bump into. edit2: From the manual; "Most ground units are selectable to be occupied, but a few are not. These include: SAM sites that are comprised of multiple radars and launchers. Radar sites Man Portable Air Defense Systems (MANPADS) Infantry units Utility and transport units"

To be honest I think this is more of an issue with the default HOTAS configuration via the drivers. In all sims / games I run into this problem, unless I use TARGET software, alls 3 way switches won't give a signal in the centre position. And yes this sucks and should go towards the wishlist section, the A10C can do it, so probably there is a workaround/access to those functions if the devs really want.

This brings me to my next question: How is the motion sickness when you are under "the influence"..? :D

Sehr schön, was hätte ich mir sowas zu meiner Schulzeit gewünscht. =)

Yeah me too, really hope this clears up soon. Or was this maybe already stated and I missed it...?
