ok, interesting to know thanks! :)

I almost spilled my coffee when I looked at the first picture in post#1. Never seen such ugliness with scaling before, guess one needs to run low res to get this? Im running at 4k, that means I will see ground targets a lot later than anyone with low res screen setups? wow, did not know that.. thats screwed up for sure :O

I simply made copies of the one season that the mod comes with after download and renamed them for all seasons, so I always have the desert textures no matter the season set in the mission. thats how my JSMGE folder looks like http://i.imgur.com/BfdtD7w.jpg

I would love to buy it but then I would get divorced heh :(

Nvm

Hi, I dont know if that helps, but I flew the mission 'Surrounded' yesterday to practice in the A-10C, and deployed CBU-105s just fine. No PC crash at all

congrats Range79 !!!! I cant wait for it and will certainly buy it

wait, since when is SLI working for DCS? Does it now? Did I miss something? Or do you don't connect the screens all to the same card? and yes, I can say for a fact that a single 970 will work just fine for 3 screens (I have 2 970s, but SLI never worked when I tried..) I used it for some time (AND had a 4th USB screen for Helios exports...). However, I ditched the system because 3 screens just make the view unnatural in my opinion. I switched to a nice 4K display a good while ago and never looked back. (still have all the other screens, but only for helios..) (this is my main monitor https://pcmonitors.info/reviews/philips-bdm4065uc/ )

same here, as stated many times. Cannot see SHIT, both by eyeball but worse even with the TGP.. in 1.2 it was just fine. easy fix: install Desert 3.0 terrain mod. Install terrain textures only, leave vehicle textures unchanged. works perfectly for me.

Awesome!!!

You play during EU playtime? If so, click on my banner we have a dedicated ATC and AWACS squadron within the wing.

I confirm the same observations. Last mission, I did in total 4 gun runs on the same tank (only had guns left). I hit it every time but it did never explode.. JTAC called in our KA-50s and they took quick care of it though ^^

The mission 'Surrounded' really is one of the best imo, took me many attempts until I could complete it (hint: dont expend your standoff weapons in the beginning, you need them later). My favorite way (when flying solo and in a permissive environment..) is to first spot targets by eyes, only then use the TGP. china hat aft short to slew TGP to borsesight. Make sure TGP is SOI, and look for the TGP symbol in the HUD. Spot targets and fly the nose of the aircraft so that the TGP symbol on the HUD is over the target. Touch the TGP slew control just once so the TGP locks onto the ground. This all takes just 1 second flying towards the target, as soon as you have the ground locked you can turn off the target. Now you have your TGP in close proximity to the target, go heads down and lock onto it, make a markpoint and execute your attack.

As someone pointed out in this thread, the one thing that helped me was to simply install Mustang's wonderful Desert 3.0 mod. I installed just the ground textures, not the textures for ground units. BAM, instant fix. the targets now have a different camo as compared to the background (read: not green tank on totally gree grass with ZERO contrast), and now you see them again. This one fix catapulted the sim from TOTALLY unusable to spot on again, at least for me. and btw, Desert 3.0 looks gorgeous, thanks so much Mustang

another great way of getting sensors on target is to click CHT aft short to instantly slew the TGP to where your nose is pointing. Then, look outside your window and point the nose of your aircraft (or better, the TGP diamond on your HUD) on the target location and you are there. Especially at close range for me this works better than looking through the straw and slew over a greater distance :)

I just want to say THANKS to Starway. This mod does not only look absolutely wonderful, it also allows me to finally see ground targets again, since whatever changes made the TGP in the A10 totally unusable. Thank you, I can now enjoy the game again and if it means I fly in the desert then so be it :)

so after playing with it for a while, I must say this is beyond awesome. I dont have the space for a 'proper' homecockpit (read: wife would kill me) but the radio panel is a really cool addition and it works just great. In our wing, we fly with real ATC + JTACs , so we have to switch frequencies a lot the radio panel is just great for that

Oscar Juliet I will try this also. DCS A-10C is next to unplayable for me due to the graphic engine, I can't see shit on the ground as soon as targets are off road and not moving... I've been a huge ED fanboy so far, I've bought all modules out there despite the fact that I will probably never fly them, but this SUCKS big time. We run big multiplayer events with multiple squadrons and this has a great impact on our favorite hobby. Please fix this!!

totally agreed, and great to hear that you obviously are on a good track! On my system, I still get an immediate crash as soon as I load a mission with ultraMFCD running, even on a fresh Win10 and DCS reinstall. Not sure what else to try in order to troubleshoot this, and I seem to be the only one getting this crash ?

+1

well I just tried the local account. Strange, it doesnt ask me for activation of my modules and ultraMFCD crashes when mission loading bar reaches 80%. Here is the diagnostics package

nice! I will test tonight and see if it works, cant wait!

Hi, thats interesting! When I get home tonight, I will try this as well, log out of the MS account, then local account then MS account. BTW, I did the fresh install of Win10, on a completely re-formatted disc. question, was the problem solved for you now, or would you always log in and out to get it working?

Oesau, I have exactly the same problem btw. Win 10 also here

Hi, it works like a charm now! I had used the DCS Bios bundle from the link in the Saitek Panels manual. Maybe this is not the most up to date one, I grabbed DCS Bios again from here https://github.com/dcs-bios/dcs-bios/releases/tag/v0.4.2 and now it works. This is great thank you so much for this software, I love it!
