I have been flying the F5 on and off for some years now and love it. But I noticed the attitude indicator sometimes seems to be inaccurate -- sometimes at high speed, the gauge shows a slight right bank, when the jet obviously was flying straight and level. But at other times, the indicator does seem to show correctly. Anyone else noticed this? I do not have any such problem at all with other jets like the A10C or the F16.

Was hoping the module is more developed by now, given that it has already been sold for so long.

The cockpit readouts (such as Steering, Guns, Caution Lights, etc.) all appear almost non-readable from a distance. They only start to show up sharp when zoomed in real close. I have my settings at 4X MSAA and 16X Anistropic, VSync On. Running on GTX 1080. nVidia Texture set to Quality. SSAA and SSLR all at Zero. In-game texture at High. Cockpit Res at 1024. Am able to usually get 50 to 60 FPS at NTTR, Persian Gulf, etc. Anyone any advice on how the cockpit readouts could be made clearer from a distance?

Thanks folks. I guess that explains it -- was at 90+ % close to full load, and possibly rotated too late and / or too hard. Or could be too soon.

In this new model, I noticed the default seat height is such that the eye position is same level as the top edge of the HUD display frame, which resulted in the nose boreisght symbol (the circle pipper with a centre dot) not being visible, unless I lower my eye level. As a result, during takeoff, the horizon line is not visible. I understand the pipper can be lowered by adjusting it, but does that affect anything? Saw on youtube, most seems to be able to see the pipper when sitting on runway.

Was taking off with some weapons and rotated around 130+ knots when the left tire blew out. I have flown in both the DCS A10C models on and off for years and had never experienced a blown tire before. Could this be a bug?

Hello All, I bought the F16 months ago but only started to get flying in it and noticed the HUD display resolution seems lower compared to the A10C. For example, when in a slight bank, the horizon line looks a little uneven, whereas the one in A10C looks perfectly smooth line whatever the bank angle. Anyone else noticed this? Also, may I know how complete is this model now? What are the major features still under development? Thanks.

Ahh okay. Mine is World 2.5, not open beta. Any idea when would it be available for the 2.5?

Just to be sure, I just stumbled on the news of the free new A10C cockpit upgrade, but could not find the update download anywhere. Is this update released yet? If not, when? Thank you.

I'm running in stable version. So I may expect to see it in my Module Manager after this Fri? Didn't seem to see news that it would move to the stable version after Fri. Thanks.

Hello, I pre-ordered the F16 months back, and was trying to install it, but could not find it in my Module Manager. Any idea how or what I should do to get it installed? Thanks. Avio

Been flying much with the Yak and noted these problems :- 1) The air pressure gauge always show both needles fixed and non-moving, from cold and dark to in-flight. 2) Oil Temp needle hardly moves beyond 30 degrees, even with oil cooler fully closed. 3) Attitude indicator at times not showing level, even when horizon outside is level. 4) In-cockpit sound -- when flying sounds like heavy rain outside, in addition to normal engine sound. This happens with or without helmet simulation. Anyone else noticed these issues?

Noticed that when flying in day time some runways' PAPI approach lights were either totally missing or have a non-working reflector lamp. Saw this problem at Kahsab airbase and Dubai Int'l. Only at dawn or dusk would this lights show up. Anyone else seen this?

Just bought the PG yesterday and while the FPS has been good, there seems to be much shimmering and flickering of ground objects such as vertical lines, and especially building surface structures where there are vertical windows / columns. Is there any setting that could help eliminate this problem? I have quite good CPU of i7 3.5 GHz and GTX 1080 with 32 Gb ram.

Okay sure look forward to it coming to stable version today.

I just bought the Yak but was not able to find it in the Module Manager. And I thought it is meant for 2.5.2, which I have? Or is it only for Open Beta only, which I do not have. Shouldn't it be for all versions?

The prop spins clockwise on startup according to some videos, but shouldn't it spins anti-clockwise for soviet prop planes?

Thanks folks. I saw in some videos it seems the Yak here pitches up suddenly by a lot upon flaps deployment.

Thinking of buying this one ... does it come with a flight manual in English? Read about the sudden pitching up issue upon flaps deployment -- is this serious and detract from the experience of this product? Will it be fixed eventually?

Okay will give SSAA 1.5x a try. Thanks.

Flew a simple A-to-A search mission with the F5E but upon ending mission, the whole screen turned black. Could only call up Task manager to force exit the DCS program. Anyone else seen this? Any fix for this? Thanks.

Tried various settings but still the shadows flicker especially from a distance away. Guess would have to make do with it.

Strangely in Cacasus region, trees and even the smallest building / ground objects seem to load in even when very far away. By the way, there is a lot of flickering / shimmering of shadows from trees, etc., when viewed from some distance away. Anyway to get rid of this shimmering?

I have maxed out the needed sliders (see screenshot) but buildings and some trees in NTTR in the distance seem to load only when flying and approaching nearer to them. This poses a problem when trying to using targeting pod from far away (eg in A-10C) as objects just would not show up till way near. Should I set anything differently? Also, reflections of mountains in lake water flicker quite a lot as I fly around the lake. Anyway to stop the flickering / shimmering?

Thanks folks. Adjusted Gamma to 1.8 and it looks a lot better now.
