I don't really know if "a lot", but my DCS spending habits have certainly changed since the Razbam fiasco, I used to purchase almost every new item that came to the store, but now it is like this: on the second semester of last year I only purchased two items: FC 2024 and the F-5 remastered, just because its pricing wouldn't last, but it was just a fifth of what I usually spend, and so far this year I've only refunded the F-15E and used those funds to purchase the Germany map, for a total balance of US$ 0 this year so far. The Mig-29 was tempting, but having its shapes and textures encrypted made it a no-go for me, its a sad situation for me as DCS used to be my main hobby.

not for the whole view concepts, but for snapviews there is this one:

RCtrl+Num0 : Changes snap views to "toggle" mode. Num1 .. Num9 (with no modifiers) will switch view to the corresponding snap view, and stay there until the user selects a different snap view, or taps Num0.

You first select the snapview key with NumX + LWin, then adjust the view, and finally press RAlt + KP0

no idea, I’ve never found how to use that feature

unnecesary? If you enter an mp server, how do you expect to see the players that might be riding a 15E if your dcs doesn’t have the shape and texture files of that aircraft?

Can you upload your dcs.log file to confirm there are no user mods that may interfere?

apology accepted, no worries, and hopefully a solution to this can be found.

I already gave up, refunded the 15E to change it for the CW Germany Map

I see about the same ... however, my DCS feels noticeably snappier, including the Mission Editor, load times seem lower and the time to exit to desktop is also lower, so I don't have a problem with this increased load per se, as long as the performance is better than before.

You could start by looking at those that have been shared by willing users: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/filter/type-is-static_template/sort-is-date_desc/apply/ another alternative is to build your own, here one author shows how he does it: https://youtu.be/4hpKK_8Qec4?si=M685xQbpTaSm7v5g

Wish you all the best on your journey, I promise to purchase it once it reaches the Store .. it has always had a soft spot on my brain, since it was used by all armed forces of my country: Cheers and thanks for the update. Eduardo PS: If you ever need help with creating missions for this bird, I would love to take part on their development.

On my end it works as normal: Can you try the following: 1st, run a DCS repair to make certain that your core DCS is ok. 2nd, rename the templates.lua at /Saved Games/DCS/MissionEditor/ ... say to templates.bak ... this will take out your custom templates if any. Can then you use at least the standard Templates?

Sorry, I thought you were talking about Static Templates, but seems like you were talking about Group Templates ... those are stored on templates.lua at /Saved Games/DCS/MissionEditor/

Are they very old Templates? (over a year) ... happens on every Map? Just tested on my DCS and it seems to work as usual, for example on the Caucasus map:

+1 .. let’s hope ED would do that, but lately I have not been feeling hopeful on the path DCS is taking.

do you know if only ED modules, or will it also affect third-parties? I’m looking forward to the La-7 and would hate to have to skip it like I did with the Mig-29

I was just trying to help identify the cause of the problem, why it happens to some users and not others. However, your reaction makes me doubt myself and its maybe best to just keep to myself.

why delete? ... simply rename your /Saved Games/DCS/ folder into /Saved Games/DCS.bak/ that way you can recover easily if it doesn't fix your problem

On my DCS works fine: wonder how you have managed to get an F-14 appear as helicopter, maybe a stray User Mod?

this is an old guide, but most concepts are still valid https://1drv.ms/b/s!Ai6cuX3YQI26gqVS0lX6SfvYiKbeAQ

I was just adding a data point to your estimate, no other motivation, so no need for sarcasm.

the Steam user survey shows only 2.3% employ linux https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/Steam-Hardware-Software-Survey-Welcome-to-Steam

How can the FM be improved if it is already very close to the real world prototype? being a FC Module does not means that it has no flight model fidelity, what it doesn't have is full fidelity systems (electrics, fuel, hydraulic, sensors, etc)

Yes and No, most DCS assets are provided within the free core of DCS, but there are some that were released together with the South Atlantic Map ... interestingly these are all free to use, even if you don't own the map nor have it installed, I don't know any other Map that includes assets. Other assets available were added together with a Module, like the Chinese assets provided by Deka with the J-11 or the JF-17 ... they are also free to use. Other assets are payware, like the ones that came with the Supercarrier or the WW2 assets pack. Lately, DCS has adopted some assets that were developed by end-users, like the ones made by Current Hill and the ones by Massun92.
