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 !!??

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!

Sure thing Flappie, see attached. Really hope you can help dcs.log

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

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

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?

You guys are heroes!!

Oops yes that was it thanks, I saved in the steamapps/common/dcsworlds/mods/aircraft folder. Problem sorted, thanks Gabriel and Eduardo

I get an "Authorisation failed" error. "The following DLCs are not authorised and will be disabled: A-29B". Running the Steam version, latest beta.

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!

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?

Thought at first it was still not fixed, but looks like nav lights have to be on for landing lights to work?

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?

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.

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 !?

There are almost 2 million owners of DCS World on Steam and 1 million active players https://steamdb.info/app/223750/graphs/. That is probably mostly the free version, but I still wonder if standalone can muster that many players/owners?

I can't agree more, was looking forward to finally flying the F-15C after flying most of the Flaming Cliffs 3 russian aircraft. But no matter how i zoom the view or position my head, the F-15C HUD is either too small and i can't see a damned thing, or i have to press my face against it and then lose all outside perspective. I'm really not enjoying flying this aircraft which is supposed to be the pinnacle of airpower - hard to believe that this is realistic and that the F-15 has a 100 to zero kill ratio with such visual limitations!? My only consolation is that the F-15C is part of FC3 and I can just go back and fly the russian aeries instead.

Thanks for your reply, i went back and looked at bindings and you are quite right: i used ` (on same key as ~), instead of ' (on same key as "). I feel really stupid, appreciate the help!

Does anyone know what happened to the score window, activated with "`" key, in multiplayer? I used to fly the SU-25A and SU-25T in version 1.2.7 and it worked perfectly. However, i changed to the SU-27 (from FC3) almost at the same time as the game upgraded to version 1.2.8 and now i cannot get the score window activated at all, no matter which multiplayer mission. Is this fuction disabled in version 1.2.8, or am i doing something wrong?

Hi there, I'm also relatively new and working my way through the SU-25T campaign. I've progressed a bit further than you, but have noticed that very often when they talk about orange smoke, it is actually green smoke!? It is not very visible and you have to be within about 5km to see it and relatively low. Targets are not always exactly where the waypoints indicate, but somewhat off-set. Also, if you loiter too long the smoke will stop (which is probably realistic). So you have to take out AA positions early and from far away (I find the Vikhr missiles the best for this) and then get closer to see the smoke. There is generally only one or two AA missile or gun positions to worry about but it is important to scan the area from far away (5km+) with the Shkval TV thing [RShift-O] and learn to recognise the shape of AAA guns and AA missile systems, so that you can lock-on and eliminate them quickly. Soldiers with shoulder mounted AA missiles are the hardest to spot but there are always two of them together and easier to spot on higher magnification. If you're really struggling, i suggest turning on labels and then fly to within about 3-4 km of the labels as they will start identifying. Most of the AA will fire if you get to within 2-3km - there's a fine line between identifying targets and becoming one :-) Be ready to jink and drop flares at the first sign of an AA missile launch though. Also try to skirt the area at a 90 degree angle as missiles have a harder time tracking from the side.

I'm absolutely enjoying this sim after having it on the shelf for a year or two waiting for the right opportunity to play it. Anyway, so i started with the SU-25 and finished 10 missions (and several retries) in the Cold War Warrior campaign. Now i'm ready to go to mission 11 in the campaign, but it seems to be only an animation of a tank battle, which the Russians win, music plays and helicopters fly past etc. The problem is it doesn't take me to a next mission, so i assume that the campaign is now over, but it doesn't say so anywhere, and it doesn't credit me with a finished campaign in the pilot's logbook either. Am i missing something?
