2D here. I have never in my life gotten motion sick, not in cars, planes, boats, trains or helicopters. So I don’t know how it feels. But these clouds get me damn close. They’re good for screenshots but that’s about it.

Flying in formation with the tanker after filling up is like sharing a cigarette after making love.

I can remove for example houses with this script but the border fences for some reason are not removed.

Yes, it can remove them. It’s just not feasable to make trigger zones covering just the border walls.

Would this be possible via scripting? Anyone tried it? I'm facing massive problems with the border walls with units not being able to pass them. I know that's the point of a border wall, but...

The model in the picture exists in the game files, it is just not enabled in the game.

Looks real good now. I know its out of your hands, but I miss the smoldering and slowly decreasing smoke of old. It ends so abruptly now.

This behavior has become a huge issue when trying to control ground vehicles in some sort of cohesion. They are much worse at staying in formation than before the pathfinding change. This means that when they split up because of obstacles, they get separated very far and do not wait for each other enough, so when they arrive at the shootout, they come one by one, and gets picked off quite easily by their opponents, whereas if they were to arrive in a group they'd not have that problem. At this point I'd much rather have the old pathfinding and routing back, because the way it is now is just a mess of vehicles all over the place. I've also seen that the route of the vehicles is calculated from the last vehicle in the group. That means if the lead vehicle gets lost, it has to get back to its place in the line drawn from the last vehicle. Maybe if each vehicle was following the vehicle in front of it we wouldn't have this problem? Please let me know if there is anything at all I can do to help with this issue. I have another track attached. The vehicles in the track gets lost, and would probably never come out. I think the track plays over two hours (speed it up of course). The vehicles never exit the woods. AI_Pathfinding_Problem3.trk

That's great to hear!

I must say I’m very sad to see the locking of lua files. I’ve always enjoyed being able to tweak values and through that my expeience of the game. For me this takes away alot of fun. I used to feel I could enjoy DCS in a way that suited me, now it’s leaning more toward you telling me how I should play and enjoy DCS. I hope this decision will be changed back to how it used to be. It felt more like we did this together before.

Again, this time shortly after mission start. Crash occurs after just three minutes. I tried replaying the track and that does not cause a crash, but hopefully it will be easier to look for what is causing it. Attached is the crash log zip, and the track (which is also in the zip). dcs.log-20210423-140220.zip dcs.20210423-140220.trk

Got it again dcs.log-20210422-182651.zip Note, This is a new problem, the same mission has been running with the same code with no crashes for years.

Well if you fire a rocket when inside the cockpit you can hear it has no ”muffled” sound which the canopy should provide. Then you hit F2 and fire another one, and bam. Bug report.

The sound for launching rockets (APKWS, unguided) seems to be the same both inside and outside the cockpit.

After 2.7 there was an update to AI pathfinding, and now they have huge trouble getting through wooded areas. A group of vehicles will split up and drive in different directions, in circles, back and forth and sometimes completely losing their way making it impossible for them to reach the other end of the wooded area, driving back and forth forever. Before 2.7 they never had this problem in wooded areas. See AI_Pathfinding_Problem1.trk The next problem is related, but it existed before 2.7. In the plantations in Syria, the vehicles do the same thing as stated above, but it's much more prominent. See AI_Pathfinding_Problem2.trk In my personal opinion it would be preferable if ground vehicles could simply drive through bushes and trees, because the way it is now can completely break a mission that involves ground units moving. In this video the vehicles are supposed to move from the viewpoint of the camera, straight up/forward. DCS Pathfinding problem - YouTube AI_Pathfinding_Problem1.trk AI_Pathfinding_Problem2.trk

Great work Taz! Thank you!

Cool. Thanks!

Thanks! what setting did you use in the shot above?

How did you edit the size of just the vehicle fire? I don’t care about IC.

Are you sure? For me the 31 acts the same as before.
