Hey all. Is there a known bug that missile streaks from SAMs don't show up in multiplayer? I've tried a dedicated server on another PC, so I thought that might be it, but I tried it on my gaming rig and still no streaks. They still show up in single player though. Thanks!

I'd love the templates. I thought Cobra said that they'd release them before EA release, maybe I'm mistaken.

Yep, in the program files dir.

Mine still says player :( I assume there's no problem if that string contains a space, so how am I dumb? While I'm here, I have an old laptop with an integrated intel HD 4000, which supposedly will run DX-12, but DCS insists (via the log) something like "your graphics card does not support DirectX 11 features" and closes. Any thoughts there (other than that laptop is a pile of garbage, this I know.) It'll run as a server, but I can't get into the GUI to change some configuration.

The steam branch is usually a week behind. Probably the same here.

Hey all, Given that the F-14 doesn't display the RADAR scan altitude at range like more modern fighters do, is there a rule of thumb or fairly simple way to calculate it? I'm sure RIOs could do this stuff in their sleep, so is there a shortcut you can do it your head?

A-10C.

It's projected fr the hemispherical lens you can see at the bottom, so I imagine it could be a circular projection. I assume it would actually be distorted around the edges to the point it's no longer useful, but that would be much more difficult to simulate.

Quick question: Can you run the calibration tool with a broken pinky switch?

There's a thread all about JSGME (Generic Mod Enabler) which will walk you through setting it up. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=98607

Hog pilots have to do it all by hand. You have to know things like the drag index of all the external stores, current gross weight, air temp and pressure at atitude, etc. There was a fuel planning worksheet around here somewhere, but I can't seem to find it.

Judy, sure, I'll have a look. Cain, The F10 issue should (oh god please) be fixed with the latest hotfix.

IIRC there's a cockpit argument for the doors, I'll have a peek.

Foss, Be aware that if you type 0, that's 0 MSL, so it won't work in the mountains on the Caucuses map or the PG, and won't work anywhere on NTTR.

PSA: if you go through the waypoint edit process with the same coordinates, and don't edit the altitude, it will "snap" to 0 AGL, and you will get a "CR" indication. Details in spoiler box below for those who need it. This trick is super useful, especially if you tend to forget to set target waypoints to 0 AGL like I do. :joystick: Note that the CDU uses the A-10's elevation map to calculate this. In the A-10 actual, the map is only accurate to military standards. I.e. "meh, I mean it's generally within a few nautical miles." In DCS, the A-10's elevation map is the game map, so it's (for all intents and purposes) 100% accurate.

The guys on the fighter pilot podcast (highly recommended) called the NATOPS the "big blue sleeping pill" That said, I want my big blue sleeping pill!

-vomits pure excitement-

Yeah.

boot. Will be potato vision for about an hour.

Wait one.

Opy, Typically people don't develop memory and self discipline untill after their 20's.

476th also provides good documentation for public release on their site. Not sure if it's up-to-date, but if you need a "big blue sleeping pill" it'll certainly do the trick.
