Oh many thanks for the tip ! I wasn't pushing the right button for jettison :baby::chair: Sorry for posted this question in the "BUG" section, Right JATO still does not have correct visual effect :D (kidding)

Same on my computer, no JATO visual effects on left JATO, here is a screen : It's a very minor bug to me ;) Are you able to Jettison them ? It does not seem to work for me.

Thanks for this update ! :thumbup:

Oh I didn't noticed it ! It appears well ;) Many thanks again for all your videos John ! If you could also do a tut' for ARC Nav, it would be great ! :thumbup:

I was wondering all night why in xxJohnxx's video about RSBN navigation ( ) the needle pointing towards the NDB was the "circled" one and why in MY Mig, it was the opposite tail (the thin line), now I know :D Thanks for this infos guys ;)

Hi Guys, here is the PDF converted to PNG to get this in the Mig-21 Kneeboard :) Just put the .PNG files in : ...\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\MiG-21BIS\Cockpit\KNEEBOARD\indicator\CONTENT kneeboard.zip

Many thanks ! That's a very usefull doc !:thumbup:

Hi Cobra, same issue for me, I've sent you a mail ;)

Looking very good Silver_Dragon ! I'm also trying to make a U-Boat, 3d model is OK, need to texture it and import in DCS W. I'm having problem with the .lua file to insert it in the sim. Sorry for ugly graphics (screens took on a dev PC)

OK ! SOLVED ! by re-installing Max & EDM plugin ... :)

I bet there is something to edit in the description.lua of each skin;) (Sorry, i can't launch DCS right now -> phone)

Hi guys, I'm trying to export some objects to DCS (modeling in Maya & Rhino, export via Max) but I'm getting some errors while clicking on "MAKE COOL" in Max. Does someone has already seen this error box ? Can't understand why I'm getting this, and of course, my EDM export model is not valid :( Many thanks for your help ! (By the way, I'm using Max 2012 x64 and latest EDM plugin) Here is something I've done for a while, nothing to be in relation withh DCS (Maya for mesh, Keyshot for render) : http://www.fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/images/2014/09/25/7WrqM.jpg It was my first car ^^

Do you fly it in MP with other wingmens ? ;)

Freaking awesome ! :thumbup:

Guys, 3D mesh optimisation does NOT mean "loss of details" ;) Again : :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

That´s a very nice landing technique !! Thanks for sharing ;)

that's an excellent CPU which can support pretty high overclocked (K series) with a good CPU-Fan ;) You may think to OC before bying a new CG (in case it's still not)

Mmmh yes & no ... The actual cokcpit view might use the ALL 3D mesh of the exterior aircraft (Nicholas said before that was a mistake) As he said on his previous post, they're actually rendering the all aircraft in cockpit-view, with no gear, no engine etc ... which make sense, when you are in cockpit, you can't see engine burner for example ;) I guess LN guys are currently working on a "new 3d exterior aircraft mesh" for cockpit-view (as in FSX, where you can only view wings, so only wings are modeled) I guess this should deliver a nice FPS boost especially on low-end CPU's ;) -> (this just an example on a low-poly model)

You're talking about the "no 3d exterior tweak" Nicholas ? :D If yes, LN customers should have no worries[/b] (60FPS locked almost all the time with my rig) I'm pretty sure, CPU is also the bottleneck as far as DCS W uses few cores (so high cadency CPU's are recommended)

Mig-21 Lods Tweak Didn't get the preview version, I was trying to get some "investigation", you're obviously right in this case ;) Here I made a quick tweak to improve FPS if this could help : I've just played with the LODS & 3D mesh file names - One version with exterior 3D mesh (lower mesh than the original, took the LOD1 3D mesh, still great but less FPS cost than the original) - One version with NO exterior 3D mesh HIGH FPS (don't use exterior view, you will also see AI Mig-21 as transparent) --> use it only on solo flight to learn the aircraft systems ORIGINAL BACK-UP FILES ARE INCLUDED Download : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bzy06scTcPcnaVJFckNFdDhIeHM/edit?usp=sharing

Just had a thought this night, I'm sure that the actual "DCS 3D engine" does not help to get good FPS, even on high-end computers. If EDGE runs like ED announced, I'm about sure that the actual Mig's 3D mesh (about 18Mo with 0% Lods) would run with maximised FPS, even with lots of AI units on the map. Don't forget that the Mig-21 was planned to be released with EDGE few weeks ago Is there a relation of cause and effect ? :smartass:

:thumbup:

Nop, Mi-8 is still very hard on frames ;) (but that's another subject)

Cobra (Nicholas), I must admit your support & communication is almost the best as we could hope ! Keep up the LN great work, I'm sure this will be solved soon ;)
