  1. The training missions are utterly useless. It asks for reticle depression settings of 200 or 800, but the hundreds selector can only go to 100. Why did I buy this module if even the training missions are inaccessible !!??
  2. Oh wow, that is so strange Flappie. I literally have "MT Preview" ticked as the Selected Launch Option (see image attached). But clearly Steam ignores it, as per the thread you provided. Anyway, I now have it sorted (starting form the drop-down menu instead of the desktop icon) and can see mirrors again. Thanks Flappie!
  3. Sure thing Flappie, see attached. Really hope you can help dcs.log
  4. I also have the empty/ghostly mirrors bug, using Steam MT. Same on 2D screen and in VR. Varies by plane (A-10A ok, others bad) I tried the fix - to rename DCS "Saved Folder". Bug remains
  5. They've done a great job on it, agreed. But there are no missions or campaign for it. It's a bit of a dud as far as I'm concerned and if their La-7 is anything like it, I will not buy this time - especially NOT pre- or day 1 purchase. Will wait a while. Unless of course the developers give the I-16 some good missions and campaign in the meantime, to show a bit more commitment to their product
  6. My son and I did some multiplayer in a mission I created with a Yak-52 at Kobuleti airfield. He was the pilot (front seat), I was the instructor (back seat). We used Discord to communicate and were in VR using Quest 2/3 headsets. Our problems were as follows: 1) Whoever was the inactive pilot, could not see the landing gear or flaps being retracted/extended. In other words, even though the active pilot retracted the landing gear, it still looked extended by the other person. Is this a known issue, or how do we get this fixed?
  7. Oops yes that was it thanks, I saved in the steamapps/common/dcsworlds/mods/aircraft folder. Problem sorted, thanks Gabriel and Eduardo
  8. I get an "Authorisation failed" error. "The following DLCs are not authorised and will be disabled: A-29B". Running the Steam version, latest beta.
  9. Excellent, it is such a nice aircraft - one of a few with 100% rating on Steam! Glad to know training missions are coming. Please add more Quickstart and Single missions as well, and a campaign!
  10. I suppose this works in US pacific time, not Russia time and that it will activate at the same time on Steam and standalone DCS version?
  11. Thought at first it was still not fixed, but looks like nav lights have to be on for landing lights to work?
  12. In the early days of DCS World, all aircraft had a proper look back view (F4 on the keyboard). It showed an external view from just above the cockpit back over the tail, so that you had a wonderful, almost unobstructed, panoramic view of what's going on behind you. Nowadays, most of the newer DLC aircraft such as the F-86 Sabre, Mirage 2000, in fact almost all of the new ones, don't provide that view anymore. Instead you get a fairly useless view of the nose or some random zoomed in part of the aircraft, facing forward? Is there a way to get the proper "look back" view back for the new aircraft, assigned to the F4 key which actually says "Look Back View" in the settings?

    Mirage 50

    Also agree with Rudel_chw, I will buy Mirage III and/or Mirage F1 blindly. They were used in the South Africa/Angola war of the 1970s/80s and were the very reason I became interested in aircraft. Mirage III was also used in Falklands war. There was a 1960s/70s television series about the escapades of a French Mirage III squadron. And then of course there were the Israeli wars which really showcased the Mirage III. I have no interest in the Mirage 50.
  14. I don't understand why this has not been implemented yet. It makes so much sense and surely it cannot be too hard to implement. People have been asking for this since 2016 !?
