With the updated Tarawa, helos (AI and player-controlled as well) still spawn over water left of the ship's deck.

After additional testing, I realised the bug was caused by a MOD. Removing "LHA Amphibious Assault Package" solved the issue.

After the latest patch (beta) I noticed that ships wake is absent from most modded ships (I tested with carriers mostly), and the parts closer to the ships waterline are flashing in a weird way. I also tested with DCS stock ships; for instance with the Stennis I can see /the wake/trail but I still have a blocky and flickering wake around the ship. I also confirm it was not present before the 04/07/2018 beta update. *** EDIT *** I just saw it was already reported in this thread "2.5 Bug Ships water trails", mods feel free to move the post in the appropriate thread, sorry. *** EDIT 2 *** After additional testing, I realised the bug was caused by a MOD. Removing "LHA Amphibious Assault Package" solved the issue.

I did a quick test with the AV8B and when I try to spawn on the LHA-1, no matter if cold or hot or in which position, I always end up with the the aircraft spawned without the landing gear extended, somewhat floating above the deck. Pics for reference here

Possible bug after the last update: the ship is not leaving a trail into the water and I also have blocky and flickering wake around the ship, near the waterline. Moreover, having the mod active causes aircraft not to spawn correctly on the RAZBAM Tarawa (Harrier spawns with no gear extended and floating in mid air over the deck)

Ciao, grazie per l'aggiornamento, speriamo che stavolta implementino davvero le aggiunte a livello ufficiale. Alla ED hai inviato altre immagini o sono semplicemente quelle già presenti con relativo file Italy.lua? Sarebbe bello nel caso avere magari anche qualche gruppo dell'Aviazione Navale, visto che c'è una livrea ufficiale per lo UH-1 ed un paio fittizie per l'Harrier (sperando che prima o poi arrivi anche un modulo con la versione "Plus"). Se ritenuto utile, posso tranquillamente mettere a disposizione codice ed immagini a chi possa mettersi in contatto con ED per un'eventuale integrazione ufficiale. Io al momento uso DCS esclusivamente in sigle-player quindi non ho problemi di verifica di integrità; in ogni caso, per chi volesse utilizzare il mio file in attesa di una release ufficiale, ho caricato uno zip compatibile con JSGME/OvGME quindi può essere tranquillamente disattivato e riattivato a seconda che uno voli online od offline.

I did a quick test with the AV8B and when I tried to spawn hot on the LHA-1, either runway or parking, the aircraft spawns without the landing gear extended, somewhat floating above the deck. I did not have time to try cold and dark also, will check again after work. UPDATE: problem confirmed, it happens no matter the state if I try to spawn an aircraft on deck

I second this request too, it would help to have the possibility reliably to start in mid-air sometimes (without generators' failures), particularly for mission testing purposes.

Tropico M2000C - camo Second update: camo skin for the Mirage 2000C based on the Peruvian Air Force one. Download HERE Next skin preview:

Tropico Mig-29 low-vis First update: I created two low-visibility liveries for the Mig-29A. Download link: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3301092/ NB Initial release, further adjustment possible. For instance, I think the roundels/flag are still too dark compared to the skin for a real low-vis effect. Next on the line is Mig-29A camo version (based on Cuban camo)

La Tarawa sta venendo proprio bene, spero però che prima o poi arrivi anche il "Plus", e magari (sogno remoto) una versione full-fidelity della Cavour. Anche se devo ancora imparare ad utilizzare l'AV8 preso giusto ora con i saldi... :)

Ottimo lavoro! Ignorando l'esistenza di questo post ho creato giusto oggi una versione aggiornata di Italy.lua in nella cartella "Troops", ed incluso ulteriori reparti. Il file è disponibile nella sezione "user file": https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3301063/ ecco qua le mie aggiunte, con relative immagini -- Aeronautica -- 3° Stormo (immagine già presente, attivata nel file italy.lua) 46ª Brigata aerea "Silvio Angelucci" (immagine già presente, attivata nel file italy.lua) Reparto Sperimentale di Volo - Pratica di Mare (immagine già presente, attivata nel file italy.lua) PAN "Frecce Tricolori"(immagine già presente, attivata nel file italy.lua) -- Elicotteri AMI -- 15º Stormo "Stefano Cagna" added current emblem -- Marina Militare Reparti Volo Marina Militare Aviazione Navale GRUPAER Gruppo Aerei Imbarcati - "Wolves" Marina Militare - Harrier patch (immagine già presente, attivata nel file italy.lua) 1º Gruppo elicotteri 2º Gruppo elicotteri 3º Gruppo elicotteri 4º Gruppo elicotteri 5º Gruppo elicotteri -- AVES -- 4° Reggimento Aviazione dell'Esercito "Altair" Gli stemmi "AMI" e "MMI" li ho invece impostati come separatori di categoria Non so, se vi sia modo di far includere anche questi a livello ufficiale... Mi scuso nel caso fossero già state inserite/proposte; vi possono inoltre essere delle inesattezze per cui vi pregherei nel caso di segnalarmele.

Thank you!

Sì, le skin italiane di default sono selezionabili solo se imposti la nazionalità dell'UH-1 su Italy.

I tried them a short while ago and they were working in 2.5, I'll make a test again tonight as it would be a pity if they are not. *** UPDATE *** I tested the liveries and they are working correctly for me in DCS 2.5.2 beta. Make sure to install them at this address :\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\CoreMods\aircraft\MiG-21BIS\Liveries\MiG-21Bis Moreover, they do not appear under "Spain" unless you edit the description.lua file, check under "Russia"

Hello, anyone knows if there is a way to edit airports in Caucasus in order to get rid of (all or, better, in part) the static aircrafts ( An-2 Mi-8 ) and vehicles? It would be great for a display mission I plan to create. Thank you in advance

Hello everyone. I don't know how many of you know about "Tropico" or are interested in fictional skin but, after a long time just downloading, I wanted to try to create some personalized skins myself. Hence, I decided to start from something which was not done before, a hypotetical representation of the air force of the (fictional) Republic of Tropico, from the game series bearing the same name (more info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropico ). After all, in Tropico 5 they introduced military airplanes, one much resembling a MiG-21 (and taking off from a carrier!?!). Roundel and flag (NB the flag is the official in-game flag, while the roundel is my own creation) **DOWNLOAD LINKS PROVIDED BELOW** I am not a very talented painter, but I came out with some basic skins representing the fictional country of Tropico. I started easy with the beautiful (and much lore-friendly imho) L39, good for a small air force mostly needing training/recon and light CAS. Fuerza Aerea Revolucionaria de Tropico (FART) L-39C Airbase pic with red and yellow variants Fuerza Aerea Revolucionaria de Tropico (FART) L-39ZA Both the livery and roundels are inspired from Cuban ones. I would also love to create a proper MiG-21 skin, but unfortunately we'll have to wait for the updated templates/3D model. Finally, here is a complete family pic (WIP). Since in the (Tropico) city-builder game you can play either as a Soviet or Western oriented country, as well as a neutral one, I tried to include some models representing both the first and latter option (sorry, I was a bit biased here). Unfortunately most of the liveries are just modification of existing skins, so in most cases I won't be able to release them without permission/credit.

Not a huge fan the F-22, but I appreciate your work (SU-57 above all) and dedication. Is great to hear you're still committed to your passion despite all what happened. My best wishes, and looking forward to see more!

Was there any rumor in relatively recent times about the addition of the twin-engine version (UH-1N Twin Huey or AB212)? I bought the Huey in the current sales and like it a lot, but such addition would make it even more interesting in my humble opinion.

Problem solved. My fault, it was actually a leftover from an old version in the main install folder mod directory. Now I removed it and all is working correctly (the ships too) :)

Yes, I do have FC3. The same problem (mods not working) happens to me for a couple of Markindel's ships that are supposed to work in 2.5.

Here it says VSN_UFO has been updated to work in 2.5.0 https://lockonforum.de/community/thread/7247-ufo-flyable-mod/ I tried to install it but the mod is not working. Is it possible that it's compatible with 2.5.0 but not 2.5.1?

Apparently the map (and WW2 assets pack) just got updated, with concrete airfields finally introduced. DCS Normandy 1944 More detailed objects and realistic airfield textures. The textures now reflect the more dusty, lighter, sandy surfaces Removal of permanent structures from ALG airfields Concrete surfaces for the airfields of Evreux, Carpiquet, and Tangmere Shallow water zones along the coastal areas New stone bridges More structures like farm houses outside the detailed areas of the map Added more objects like windmills WWII Assets pack New units added: M12 gun motor carriage M30 cargo carrier M2A1/M3 halftrack StuG IV SdKfz 234/2 "Puma" SdKfz 234 7 artillery tractor SdKfz 234 7 251 SdKfz 234 2 Kettenkrad Horch staff car New barrage balloons LCVP Higgins boats UK soldier
