Balance have no place in a simulator. That is up to clever mission-making to solve :)

You can adjust rocket ripple settings using the Kneeboard in-game. Works for both SP and MP, but you need to set it with engines off before rearming, if I remember correctly.

Same here. The last few days of EA debacle left a bad taste in my mouth (in combination with DCS 2.5.6, Super Carrier delays and upcoming F-16 delays). A shame really, I was on the verge about the P-47 and was very excited about the Mi-24P, but my wallet will be remain closed for Early Access products.

Already fixed in Open Beta, 04-16-2020 DCS World open beta 2.5.6.47224 DCS Flaming Cliffs by ED MiG-29. Corrected reflections on the HUD Su-25. Corrected reflections on the HUD Su-25T. When you start the right engine you see the animation of the left engine - corrected. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=4290539#post4290539 Don't know if the Su-25T also has been fixed.

+1 Other than that, very dissapointed with the Hornet Roadmap. And my expectations were low in the first place... Might be just me, but my definition of "Product Sustainment" is maybe some liveries, bug fixes, cockpit updates etc. NOT 1-2 years development of missing features.

Game controllers are plug-n-play on the fly. My USB hub sometimes disconnects my joystick but I can reconnect it and keep flying. TIR requires the software to run before DCS launches.

@bkthunder It's really amazing to see how much effort and time you put in to help and support the Razbam team. Great job on the community bugtracker. Keep it up.

Hornet is in Early Access and might not have all features implemented for adjusting the displays. I cannot speak for the A-10C but certain graphic settings in options might enhance the glowing effect. 2.5.6 was recently released. Usually the modules and cockpits are a step behind graphics engine. In short. When there is an update to DCS graphics/lights, the cockpits must be adjusted. This usually happens at a later date (or in some cases not at all) depending on priority or severity of the issue. That is just something that you have to work around, sometimes there are mods in the download section that help you until there are an official fix avalible. As for FLIR. Eagle Dynamics is working on a new renderer. It will probably take at least a year or so, but it is coming. 2.5.6 look a lot better then 2.5.5, but some items will most likely need adjustments.

Thanks for consideration.

From what I can see on your Hornet pics: You have displays set in DAY mode (switch on top of MFD). Try setting it to NIGHT and also play with the Brightness and Contrast knobs to get a picture you are happy with. A10C pics: Try adjust Brightness and Contrast + Gain. Im not too familiar with the A10C, maybe there is a "night mode" option?

I wonder if the ARBS is still being commonly used on the Harrier today/a few years ago? A contrast lock needs good parameters/weather... and the ARBS does not function at night... Add to that a modern TGP integration with all it's advantages. Im just trying to figure out if it is "realistic" to have it turned off. I think it is a very cool system, but the simplified implementation (in DCS Harrier) ruins the immersion a bit.

+1 JDAM and CAS page are nice additions, but there are more pressing issues that has been left hanging. Some for a very long time. The Mirage overhaul is a picnic in comparision to getting the Harrier up to a fully functional "DCS fidelity" module. It might have been said before, but Razbam is in dire need of more programmers. With the F-15E, A-29, MIG-23, Sea Harrier etc. in the owen, module development and sustainment will be extremely difficult.

Another thing. Why all the issues with HUD symbology? This goes for both the Harrier and M2000C. On the Harrier we have issues such as the AGM-122 sight. In M2000C there are annoying things like the CCRP ”diamond” designator cursor, put it over the target and the designation is above the cursor. Different modes has also text blocking other text in the HUD etc. Not gamebreaking, but bugs like these give a sloppy impression.

MiG-21bis

I have a Virpil setup and I cannot fly the SA342 anymore :cry: It is very strange but the Gazelle does not work well with small inputs from my stick. Nothing happens and I slowly start to make a bigger throw, and then the helicopter goes instantly into almost a 30-45deg bank. Kind of looks like a sharp four-point hesitation roll. No smooth or small corrections are possible. Looks like Im trying to play an old SEGA driving game with a keyboard. Strange as the stick is very precise with Huey, Mi-8 and Ka-50. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Maybe a stupid question. But how do bugs end up on the official bugtracker? From what I understand we have no access to input issues directly into the official tracker. I had a look at the bugtracker on Razbams homepage. Many items not even on the list. My coclusion is that there must be some kind of communication issue between reports here on the ED forums and the official tracker. If focus is on finishing the AV-8B N/A and Mirage-2000C, it does not help the devs if majority of the issues are not reaching the official bugtracker :cry:

Trying to figure out if the Flechette Rockets was used on Uh-1. From the looks of it - M255A1 flechette is part of the Hydra-70 Rocket System and should be compatible. With the upcoming multicrew it would be a good addition to the armament. Visually could make it close to how the cluster-munition looks. (without the explosions ofc.)

The one person to ask about stall, overspeed and flameouts is Novak (Dolphin887), developer aswell as former pilot of the MiG-21bis. I wish that Novak would post more about his time flying the MiG-21bis or do a Q/A. Seems like a really cool guy and he did an amazing job on the flight model.

AG radar: Real Beam Ground Map (MAP) Someone has more info on this? Does it allow for targeting ships with Harpoon?

You have to understand, most people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it. I took the red pill a long time ago.... maybe you are not ready yet ;)

I don't mind Early Access if it is updated in a steady pace and with clear and transparent timeline for each item. If you own any DCS Early Access product you know this has not happened before. Two-three months into launch the updates grind to a very slow pace, while new product developments take priority. Other than gaining access to the Eurofighter early, there are only negatives associated with the EA route. Anyways, it is up to TrueGrit. But I personally think that the "mostly complete" strategy like F-14 or JF-17 is the way to go. The fun of study simming and truly learning an aircraft disappear when only 25% of the systems are implemented. Plus, there is a chance that you are already bored of flying it when it is eventually feature completed later down the line.

Anyone knows if 802AKG works in multiplayer? Tried it yesterday but it was de-synced with the other clients. My friend said that my missile hit a hill on his computer but I was still tracking and flying fine on my end :huh: Tried 4 missiles and they were all de-synced between shooters computer and the other clinets on the server.

Does not matter if it is an old module, it is still being sold in the store today. 100+ on staff and no one can spend a few hours getting this module back on track? Same with Hornet or Viper, why only have a small team to update your two biggest products? Dragging EA out for 3+ years instead of being done within months. I guess it is good from a financial point but it is a disaster for us who spend our money on your products. Maybe Im slow or dumb, but I cannot understand why things cannot be ironed out at a faster pace. I cannot fully enjoy my F-5E and Im supposed to wait cause it might be revisited in the future? Only being worked on if there might be a chance to sell additional DLC update like Ka-50 or A-10C? Beyond dissapointed at these type of shenaningans :mad:
