I have used Studio Drivers for a whole year in 2022 in DCS, no crashes. Changed to game ready because of few new interesting titles that came out and game ready have the day 1 drivers for them. Studio drivers are stable for gaming. They differ only in single digit percentage in performance and most of the times equal in games. They are less frequently updated than game ready and that's they only difference most of people will notice. Having the same test on the game ready driver won't hurt. To OP: -Disable any 3rd party anti virus if you have it. Windows defender is fine. -Disable any program that manages RGB lighting on your hardware. (we've seen weird stuff happening with these) The crash error is C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION, which seems to be a memory error. It is beyond my knowledge anything else.

The viper was on Sale 2 months ago, before that another 2 months. Last 6 months the module was on sale 3 times, from 30 to 50% off, I don't recall exactly. I got it last December on a 40% off. A good indicator of when the next ED store sale will happen is to follow Steam db sales prediction, on top of that ED makes their own sales extra from Steam schedule (sometimes). Miles usage needs to be opt in from 3rd party. If the 3rd party needs the proper revenue to keep their products up to date and within a good margin financially, it is more than fair they opt out of a miles system.

DCS is not perfect but some folks love to throw rocks at it without proper investigation. (not OP) To OP: ME set altitudes refer to above sea level. Make sure your altimeter is calibrated to QNH and not a QFE. If that doesn't do it, maybe the tanker can't keep altitude for some reason. On a mission now, my tanker is bang on where I set it to be:

Lower the cloud base to near the ground. With presets or with the 'Nothing' clouds.

The paleness of the image can be countered by lowering the gamma setting. The increase in saturation you did messed up the clouds. Color values are not exclusively fixed by saturation and in some cases worsened. Bottom images: No color tweaks, no color grading active on DCS, gamma 2.2. The blues on clouds seems adequate to the daylight.

I found a lot of enjoyment on Nevada map last year after getting new fast storage so I could re install it. I own it since I pre-ordered the A-10C back in the day and I was still surprised about its quality high up. Low levels are not bad, although the vegetation lacks. Mountain tops are not up to date standards but for a tactical map experience with a lot of variations in geography it's a worth addition. Hornet wise, it is decent for CAS but you have to be based on solid ground. Lots of dense urban areas along with open wide desert with mountains. You can do terrain masking due to the geography. Some shots to show the map, although with slight color corrections, they are close enough to what you'll see while flying. Low level hurts a bit on the visuals but it is far from ugly. Performance is great.

Caucasus was re made from scratch 6 years ago with the new tech. You're thinking about the DCS A-10C caucasus map (Expanded east from Flaming Cliffs 2/Black Shark Caucasus map) that was featured on early DCS World. The current one uses the new tech already.

14:30 It would be neat, to not say absolute amazing, to have such modeling to simulate this kind of scenarios with the tank depressurization switch. 14:00 for the whole system description. Thanks for this video. Enjoying every bit of it.

I swear I thought it was jester cleaning up something and never bothered to pay attention to it.

I also highly recommend Notso's (SME) walkthrough on the SE systems on Razbam youtube channel. It has made my need of the actual manual, minimal.

Syria is the best offer for a map in DCS at the moment, excluding WWII maps. If you're flying helos or CAS aircraft like the Warthog. Is an experience above all other maps.

Well, this scraps my theory then. Seems perfectly calibrated. About the ground behavior, it can be the rudder. But remember, as in real life, aircraft don't usually go straight. If you have wind, even slight wind, it will yaw the aircraft with aero pressure on the fins and fuselage. For now, I'm out of ideas. I noticed, on your taxi in the Nevada mission, that you were making 45+ knots while taxing. Be careful about the speeds on taxing. Is from a human jogging to 20-25 ish knots.

@Skip365 Your joystick is slightly pulling to the left (very tiny bit), I'm almost certain 99%. This can be countered by aileron trim as it is very tiny deviation, or a physical recalibration of the joystick. On the Nevada mission, the loadout is asymmetric, with an ACMI pod on the right wingtip and a captive Aim-9M on the left making the phenomenon worse. Based on the first video, it seemed something more drastic than this. Perhaps your stick calibration is oscillating while using it. I took control of the plane on that track and it was flying fine as far as I could tell. Have a look on the Axis Tune Panel under Controls in Options for the roll commands. See if you have an 'In' value of 0 (zero) like in the image bellow. Other than that, expect to use a lot of aileron trimming in DCS on these jets, as usually their center of mass is not in their lateral center. So even with a perfect centered stick and fly by wire trimming will be needed. Good news is that this amount of deviation from the center is close to meaningless as DCS simulates asymmetric load and aero efficiency through different speeds, so players will be trimming the ailerons anyways. Hope it helps.

He wasn't. Default loadout was 2x wingtips Aim-9 and center tank. Is better to look at a track.

Propeller planes tend to roll because of its propulsion method. Try to restrict to jets for the diagnostics. It can be weight related with fuel, it can be autopilot mismanagement. There is a master caution warning on your video, but I can't read what it is on the bottom left of left MFD after "ADV -".

I've found the mission on your video and the loadout is symmetric. Can you tell me which training mission? There are several. Please, post a track of the flight when this happens. You can save a track on the debrief screen and put the track file attached here on the forum.

Looks like asymmetric loadout. Controls are fine, don't throw your stick out of the window yet, and the aircraft has not been trimmed judging by the lower left control output overlay. What's the mission? I can test it out.

Damage model in higher fidelity in DCS was never proper in my opinion too. That's why I didn't invest in warbirds beyond the P-51 when it launched. Other renown WWII sim out there is far better. DCS damage model is somewhat decent in some areas? Kind of yes. A-10C also has a myriad of systems that can be damaged by ground fire and you never know what to expect. I was trying to correct the quote: "The lack of a damage model (that is, lack of variation in damage taken) is starting to date the engine." This is false.

+1 Me too. These commands adds a good QOL to the overall.

You can set up funds on Steam wallet beforehand on your safe device and make the purchase via the Steam cellphone app wherever you are away from home, without any hassle with payment methods. Given you have internet connection ofc...

...why not keeping for early 2025 to get the year started on the right foot?
