Dammit, why people only think "Top Gun" when hearing about the Tomcat? This is where it's at!!! Guess the movie for 100 internet points. :P

Open the missions tab, there's a whole bunch of interactive training missions for Su-27 from startup to weapons employment, all voiced by Wags himself ;)

What is sensor drift? When you look center after looking to the side but the view won't perfectly center? Can be this used with "center view" button to reset any errors like this? I never had headtracking before...

Are you talking about RPM indicators not going past 96%? That's a feature. RPM doesn't really increase in afterburner ;)

Obviously, everything is subject to change, but L-39 should arrive in late December, according to newsletter. Hawk with SFM maybe this month as well. And if we're lucky, we'll get DCSW 2.0 and perhaps a new map(s).

Two edits. I love Flanker!

It's a bug :)

This got introduced with one of the recent updates. See attached image ;) Ugly stuff!

You don't have to convert your room into a homecockpit or buy a $1000 setup. Warthog, pedals, trackir, rift... that's all nice, but even the cheapest joy out there will be 100 times better than keyboard inputs. This is not a conspiracy against you, it's the truth that every simmer realized once he's got his first joystick.

This green looks imho much much better than the default cockpit color. Too bad I don't fly Mig. Great job.

I only have this one...

The option works for me just fine... :dunno:

As for the "pls ED make it optional": ;) edit: although if you can't hide them in huey/mi-8 (I don't fly choppers!), then I agree it should be togglable there as well.

Only thing I support is my local hockey team but I do play games for my whole live and never had one asking for a reboot. And I poured thousands of hours into plethora of titles over the years. And out of like 50 applications installed on my computer(s), only maybe 5 asked for reboot. And only the ones that required some services to run from the start or installed a driver or whatever. Like antivirus, hardware monitoring software, virtual drive etc... Anyway, this must be surely new because I installed DCS on fresh system just last week and it haven't asked for reboot. I wonder why too. :)

Hey guys. Nothing fancy this time. Two standard clean schemes for more serious flying. 62-8870 - 305th Tactical Fighter Squadron 72-8963 - 306th Tactical Fighter Squadron Link in the first post. Some new things: Enjoy, George.

Yes, there are plenty of screenshots on FB.

No rwy/twy mod? I'm using this one: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/de/files/104763/ ..although modified a little bit. I also converted it to dds and made with mipmaps. It won't show up on every single base but it does looks nice! But I'm not sure if I want to upload it here cause he don't want it to be redistributed. If he was long gone I would say screw it, but it looks like toby is still active here (?). Maybe he can make it up-to-date. :)

Some nice screenies in here. Thanks for the competition and congratulations to winners.

Yes, EDGE will be part of the 2.0 update, free, of course. And one reason they're making a new engine is to improve performance, yes, but it also depends on what do you mean by less capable computer. Don't expect magically +30FPS on a calculator that is struggling to run it on low. ;)

Yeah stay on topic guys. That is Tomcat, Phantom and Tomcat. Also Tomcat. No prop junk allowed here. ;):P

This:

Isn't that Catch 22? Let's say I would like to develop a map. But I'm not "qualified" (whatever that means) because I never saw terrain SDK before. But I can't get SDK (and licence) because I'm not qualified dev team. What. :helpsmilie: How that works?

Bad habits are bad. 1. Texture compression exists for a reason. Smaller texture = better performance. IMHO textures in DCS are in high enough resolution to overcome the problem with compression artefacts for the most part. Unless you plan to zoom in on every rivet and inspect the individual pixels, I just can't justify stuffing DCS with textures that are like ten times bigger. 2. What is the point in saving textures without alpha in ARGB formats such as DXT5? Texture will look the same in DXT1 RGB and it'll be smaller. ;) /rant :music_whistling:

[picture of sand], [picture of sand], [picture of sand], [picture of sand] dammit show some of that L-39 cockpit already :D:P
