You need to have Combined Arms for that info and options to show up

Well, I rolled back to the previous DCS version and it works all right, so it is a new patch bug again

Hello again, sorry to bring up more problems, but now its mission 2 the issue. At takeoff from H4, a C-101 is blocking the way and doesn´t move no matter what I do. I have just updated DCS(30 Oct.), and this patch had many new stuff for Syria map, maybe that caused the bug? Also, at start, my plane is almost half outside the taxiway. I´ll try to revert to the previous patch and see if keeps happening. I got the campaing to play it in three free days that I have, so I really want it it to work Pics of the incident:

OK, later in the mission, when targeting the SA3, they show up OK without doing anything else. Its like they activate their link at a fixed point, so you can not see them until then. Is this intended?

Hello all. I just got this campaing, and was trying mission 1, it all works flawlessly, but I can´t get the whole flying group to be showed in the MFD. I remember playing the same mission a few months ago (the free sample one, wich I enjoyed very much and made purchase the whole campaing, my first one ), and it worked well back then. I also know that the F-16 went some changes and the datalink procedure changed a bit, but in other missions it works well, so I don´t know if it is a DCS bug or some mission issue regarding datalink stuff. For the moment I only flew mission 1, I don´t want to get into the rest with a malfunctioning data link just in case its necessary, so I don´t know if this happens in the rest of the campaing. Here are some pictures, the ONLY AIRCRAFT that shows in the MFD is the LEADER of the the other flight, but NOT my wingman or his: EDIT: I just saw there is a similar post with this issue, sorry for the duplicate, I should have posted this in there instead of making a new thread

Will H3 airbase have different modeling that the one present in the Syria map, or it is the same?

Depends of the available time and the type of mission. If I want to fly realistic and do some pìlot roleplay, I follow every step, but most of the times when I cold start the aircraft, I just do the basic tests, like FCS or fuel, and get going

Whaaat? A free campaing for the Viggen in Syria?? Need to try this, thank you for the heads up

Lovely, thank you for all the work and the updates!!!!

I can smell it

The sniper pod is not yet modeled on DCS, but it will eventually arrive sooner or later, it´s been working on for a while now. The low res models still the same.

You can find those skins and many more in the user files section of DCS: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/ The dark ones are called Have Glass, and they represent a new radar cross section reducing paint scheme that is starting to be used in real F-16 lately. Here is the have glass version of the Red Tails one, pretty nice

Also, besides the affinity thing, by turning the IA traffic off, performance gets even better.

There are some airports in Syria, from where the C-101 cannot start from ramp when other bigger fighters can. I posted the issue on the Ugra forums, but it also can be fixed easily from the aircraft, as this quote from western_JPN user explains the problem: Thank you!!

Thank you very much. I was not sure if where to post this, Aviodev´s Forum or Ugra. It looks it is a problem with a very easy fix from Aviodev

What the tittle says. In H4 base, you can start from the ramp in an F-16C or F-18C, but not in a much smaller C-101. As the base in in Jordan, and they had C-101 in their airforce, it would be nice to be able to do this. Thank you.

Theres a lot of models, vehicles and aircraft, that are shown in DCS promotional pictures and videos that have 3D models far more detailed that what they are in the game. It´s clear they have some kind of asset pack for better 3D models in the works. Thats fine by me, what I don´t like at all, is that they never say that those models used to advertise the sim, are not really in it

That would be cool, it adds a lot of immersion and really strengthens the simulation part of the game, the modules that have this kind of things are the best ones. Its the only thing DCS Falcon lags behind other F-16 simulations.

They are the same. In fact, at the beginning of this year, most of the FC aircraft had a big update on interior and exterior models including new cockpits.

Wow, that´s a pretty nice explanation of why the delay happened and with many details, thats a very good thing to see. Thank you for the report, eagerly waiting fpr the update

People, NEVER change anything in your lifes for an update or a module release, always have the thought in your mind that it will be delayed, you´ll be happier and wont be let down, in fact you´ll get only good surprises, I learned the lesson some time ago, and it works, hehe. Its true that the Chinook thing is weird, mainly because theres 0 content about it besides some pretty images from trailers (thing that has never been done before the launch a module that I can recall, and it doesn´t inspire much confidence), but the update is delayed only by one day and its the middle of the week, so it´s not that bad.

It is also posted on X, thats where I saw it first, so...maybe next patch at the end of the month?

Very good idea, tanker lights are hardly visible or directly invisible when you do AAR, this would be a very useful addition indeed.

Sorry but I cannot see the problem, those low poly models are ideal for mission creation, specially when you have to populate airbases or carriers. I hope they will never get removed, just updated.

Yea, that was a feature we used to have in the editor, no idea why it was removed, it was very useful and its a basic thing to have.
