Known bug if you are using the Maverick D IR version.

@BIGNEWY, thanks. I had this happen in SP as well. In sp it was reported that my F16 was damaged as a result of a Scud impact. My airfield was under attack by them. In the track file I added I think it was also the result of a Scud impact. I think the 'bug' may be more related to the Scud then anything else. In the track the Scud impacted in the twon behind my spawn point. My F16 was damaged at the same time of the impact. My aircraft had a lot of buildings between it and the explosion. but got damaged. If you wait a bit a second Scud impacts the airfield to my front but causes no (aditional) damage. Not sure what can be considered a bug. The very tiny explosion when a Scud impacts or the damaged caused over a long range without any visual component. server-20230113-115501.trk

@Flappie I have a question. How do I make a short track on a dedicated server? I know I can save a track while in SP (there is a button on the menu after mission exit, but There is none when leaving server.

And hopefully doesn’t require to buy a new PC.

Well personally I could add a lot more but I will keep it to your wingman talking nonstop calling out targets up to 170 miles (in F16!). My pet peeve nr One.

Will do when I can @Flappie

No idea. The plane doesn't move or rock at all. There is just a bang sound, no fire or smoke, debris flies around and the fuel drains.

There was no enemy action. I was idling on the ramp waiting for my takeoff time. That’s what makes it weird. No enemy’s around.

Hi all, I have a weird situation. I am playing a DCE campaign with the F16 on the PG map. I am running the mission on the dedicated server on the same pc as the game. When I am starting up or shortly after start taxi there is an explosion and my plane is damaged and off course within a minute al fuel is drained. No other warnings. I tested the same airfield in SP and there is no issue. The problem has occured on different spawns on the same airfield (Abu Dhabi intl). Haven't checked other maps or airfields. I ran a repair of both DCS Open beta and the server. Issue persits. Any one else or is it just at my end?

Well with this ‘spherical map’ thing I sure hope they are not going to use aerial photographs like msfs does. That looks nice at 10.000 feet but terrible down low especially in VR where cars and other objects that are 3D in reality are just flat and jump out in a very negative way.

Are you sure it is SteamVR and not your headset’s software that doesn’t play nice with SteamVR? I read a lot about problems with G2 in relation to SteamVR but not so much about other WMR devices. Using Index myself so no issues.

No Dburne he means that the first time DCS loads a map the atc get’s added to Viacom.

@gigem75not enough info. Is this with Super Carrier or not? Do you have the right radio channel selected or using easy comms?

Check out the DCE campaign on the user missions subforum. It generates dynamic missions and alows you to fly with MP in a PvE enviroment. It even allows you to use different planes. Within the boundaries of DCS AI it does a credible job too.

What is your ‘easy way’ if I may ask?

Turn down clouds to standard and your fps is back. In 2.7 I had it on high but see no difference in 2.8 with standard.

If you manage to get the BS2 shot up it shows internals all ready. It just get’s improved. I know trust me, I get shotup a lot!

Hmm that was 'nothing' as well. Needed a mod to show anything at all.

It has no missions. Use the editor to make or modify a mission.

Mine was multiplayer with one other person on. I am inclined to blame VAICOM/MP because Jester does input the coördinates when I use the Jester-wheel.

Hi Guys, Mayby at my end but I discoverd that I can no longer get the map markers recognised by Jester. I get a confirmation but he is not inputting coördinates. I am flying VR and using VAICOM so the bug may be there as well. Anyone having issues?

It will if you set your DCS system resolution the same as your monitor.

Apology, didn’t read the posts correctly. My mistake.

Not true. I use JSME to install mods in the core install. Works fine. You don’t need a mod-installer for mods that go into the save folder.

That is the wonderful DCS AI. Can be worked around with careful mission creation but that is very difficult to do within a system like Liberation or DCE. This is for ED to ‘fix’. It is how the AI is supposed to work at the moment so I say not a bug. Hopefully their work on the dynamic campaign engine will resolve (some of )this.
