Why not, though? Just a special tab option to have tint on or off when using the JHMCS would suffice for them, I think.

Must have +1

You can cycle targets?! I'm deeply ashamed to not know that/have missed that. Thank you.

Those presets are from the old weather code. It only changes temperature, winds and turbulence as of current DCS. It doesn't mix with the clouds and atmosphere layer presets as that feature is newer and detached. It is been like this since the new clouds implementation. Try to use "nothing" in the clouds and atmosphere layer preset to see if the weather presets change clouds density. "Nothing" in the cloud and atmosphere layer opens up other options for a single cloud layer that are not available on the C&A layers presets. I find it cool how it looks. You can tweak the cloud layer thickness too. Edit: Did a quick look and it works with "nothing" preset. Weather presets will change base, thickness, density and activates rain when it should.

CPU struggling. Can be caused by the unoptimization with DX11 as Raven pointed above. CPU bottleneck is not always steady frames. I'd say is most often uneven spiky frames than it is steady. Source: Experience with gaming with absolute <profanity> CPUs throughout the years. (That is no more, gladly) A remedy to this is to cap the framerate to something that you know your hardware + Sim will achieve 99% of the time.

Agreed! This has been happening since Multithreaded implementation. Single Threaded didn't had this issue, only on DCS MT executable. 2 monitors here. Second monitor responds normally. I can open a browser window meanwhile DCS is "shutting down" and there is not much CPU and Storage activity when this happen. 64gb Ram here. It would be nice if it behaved like ST did when closing DCS.

Video: What a horrible shot solution was that, brother? The bandit is also notching pretty hard. Lots of data missing. This is far from 'unexplainably'. Tacview Track 2nd fight: Bad solutions and the two first shots gave the missile no chance making it bleed a lot of energy + there were a lot of notching from the Viper. The third one hit because it was close enough. Gotta work on those shot solutions. See on the first fight how worse the Viper defended and you got it with 1 shot. Also, keep in mind, missiles sometimes keep turning if they lost track when they are turning as on that video you posted. I've seen it 100s of times. Missile turning =\= Missile has track. Probably it lost tracking way earlier, regained, lost again, etc.

damn. It sucks. Understood.

Have you pulled sudden high Gs on the Sabre? My memory of it is fuzzy, but either the Mustang or the Sabre (or both) have gun jamming modeled by G forces. Some old bird in DCS does have gun jam modeled as it happened to me and it was because of G forces. I think it is the Sabre but I can be wrong. I can't jump into DCS to test this out right now, but it is a worth a simple test with the mission editor I guess.

Using available high definition data maps precedes ''AI'' (current marketed buzz wording for automation). X-World and Global Forest for X-plane are fine examples of using data to uplift a virtual terrain in global scale and not just in a DCS map sized area. It is more about the old tech used on PG vs new ones. New maps like Iraq and Afghanistan has gradient for vegetation placement while old maps don't. There is a lot of data omitted from the PG that could be included on a update, but the product is set as completed and it is just in maintenance mode. We can only hope on a paid upgrade. One of the reasons I actually like products marked as Early Access because it is an indication that it can substantially change like what we've seen with South Atlantic, Afghanistan, Iraq...etc.

I think this kind of threads are very natural. There have been words of ''not planned'' going around this subject. The F-15C was also ''not in the plans'' until we had the surprise announcement of the module being shown as soon to come in DCS. Perhaps an NTTR upgrade goes on the same road. NTTR is an old map and the community shows there is a market for an upgrade (paid product).

You're not supposed to use NVGs like that. Full screen NVG mods should disable the blurring of close objects like the cockpit. That setup might be a nightmare to play with. With blurring, you interact with the cockpit by looking out of the NGV goggle frame, not inside it. Try to disable that blurring on the mod you're using, there is no down scaling to 180p (I realize it was a jab at DCS) or whatever. Have a look at this one: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3345896/ There are many options to chose with reduced blurring and with mask, which is the one I use. The blurring is still present on those. ''NOTE: To customise the effect yourself, open each file in a text editor and search for the keyword "Tune." Every "Tune" comment explains what the adjacent variable controls.'' There are directions on how to change the depth of field effect.

Check at Options -> Controls -> F-14 pilot section -> Axis Commands (on the drop down menu next to it) -> Camera Horizontal/Vertical View, see if the mouse axis are properly bound. Mouse_X for Horizontal and _Y for vertical.

@Exorcet Check this out. Empty mission from mission editor. Traffic set to ''high''.

It is quite intense on the SE. ''Attempt'' is the wrong word, imo. The SE radar actually is capable of doing so. It is already available on DCS Core, if that's a way to say it. It is the other modules radar that are not up to par. Cheers! Yes. I agree.
