Hi ZHeN,, Good to hear you are having fun on our servers! In the briefing is stated that restricted weapons are implemented. Once one of the KRASNODAR airbases are captured, you will have unrestricted weapons ONLY at these airbases. Unfortunately we found that once restricted weapons are active, the M2000C can not choose fuel tanks, I don't know why this is. Maybe a bug in DCS or a bug in my eyes overlooking something ;) I will try to see a fix for this, if I find it I will post it here. Thanks for your message and have fun flying on our servers!

That's not the answer I was hoping for haha :cry:

This is regarding the new option for helicopters: ground start Does anyone know which ground units need to be close to a helicopter that has to spawn/arm/fuel without the FARP. I have tried all 4 static ground FARP units: command post fuel dump ammo storage tent This does not work. I also tried: 1. CP SKP-11 command post, FARP command post for radio communications 2. GPU APA-50 or GPU APA-80 for electrical power 3. ATMZ-5, ATZ-10, Transport URAL-375 or FARP Fuel Depot for refueling 4. URAL-375 transport or FARP Ammo Dump for rearming Still no radio reply and no arming/fueling happening. Any help greatly appreciated!

GREAT WORK, CiriBob! We in TAW tested it thoroughly last night and it works very good. As a licensed radio amateur I can acknowledge all the things mentioned in the 5 previous posts are completely true, but that is I think just too much for CiriBob to take in account, like he says he could spend years making that model. Is that worth it? I think not, it would be really cool though. We should be REALLY happy with what he made already and it works already very much as in real life. He is still going to add nice features like mic clicks, audio fading and white noise. CiriBob is one of the biggest, or even THE biggest contributor to the DCS community, so we should give him some space to work on other projects as well ;) oh and have a private life as well hahaha. Keep up the great work man, you make our DCS lives even better! Regards, Dutch Baron TAW

Hi, thanks for the great app! Makes life a bit easier. I do have issues dragging files in there, does not seem to work for me. I can just click open file and go to folder fine, but not dragging it in there. Would be great to have that working. Other question: Is it possible to do specific files per coalition? How I have it now you see both coalitions and that makes it easier for the enemy to find stuff. Our missions have same types of aircraft on both sides, so selecting a specific aircraft does not fix that for me. Also, not all types of airplanes/choppers available in DCS seem to be in the list, is that something you can add in the future? Thanks for the help.

Hey BIGNEWY and other people who gave ideas. This is not related to any USB connector not seated correctly, nor is my joystick completely disconnected when the issue starts. It's just a few buttons on my TM Warthog Throttle that seem to react to this. I have tried all ideas posted here, issue remains. Not using any USB adapter, just directly in my PC. The issue is also not here in ANY other program, even not in the previous versions of DCS. So it might be related to the hot-plug capabilites, so I hope ED can make sure this is an option that can be turned on if you want to use it. Thanks for taking time to report this to ED, BIGNEWY!!

:thumbup: Awesome, thanks man!!!

Hello DAGR, I saw you enlisted for this, but you do not seem to have registered on our http://www.taw.net application page. You must do that, otherwise we can not contact you. Thank you and hope to see you in TAW.

All TAW (The Art of Warfare) servers have wind, turbulence and usually clouds implemented. We also have some missions with fog and also night missions. +1 for the in-game ATC that does not take the correct runway in account in reference to the wind situation, would really like to see that happening.

Well..... unfortunately, today's update did not fix this issue. ED, can you please acknowledge the issue and tell us if it will be looked into? Thank you.

Hey man, issue is fixed. I uninstalled all AMD related drivers and products, installed it then without Vulkan and Gaming Evolved and the TacView issue is gone ;) Stupid AMD :( Thanks for all the help Vyrtuoz, greatly appreciated!

Good to hear I'm not alone. The question is if it is related to a specific type of joystick or all joysticks. I have the ThrustMaster Warthog, what type do you guys have? I really hope SithSpawn or Grimes can at least acknowledge this so we can feel at ease that it is being looked into.... Many thanks!

Thanks for the response. I am up to date with the drivers, did disable GAMING EVOLVED completely and I still have the same issue. I never used the in-game overlay, this needs to be setup for each game and I only run DCS and have never set it up and TacView isn't setup in that app either. It does not seem to be related to this, though I am not saying the AMD GPU is not the cause. Any other ideas?

+100 We in TAW are using the AirBasePolice class to prevent cowboy pilots from taking off on the taxiway. This is a VERY AWESOME function that we REALLY want to use, so please ED, help us fix this!

Hello, I am having issues with TacView causing a crash. It starts with the text size in the 3D field getting bigger and sort of out of focus. Then it starts lagging and after a minute TacView crashes. I have this with the release version and just installed the BETA version and I have it there as well. It has been working fine for months, and just started last week. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks!

Since the latest Open Beta update, but now also with the latest release version update I have had numerous occasions where it seems like there is an input received by DCS from my TM Warthog joystick, causing my electrical systems to be turnod on and off and also 8 of my 10 missiles to be dropped in a SU27. While flying the UH1H my nightvision turns on/off randomly without doing any input on the joystick or keyboard. The weapons jettison issue is very annoying when in the middle of a combat! I have attached a logfile where the weapons jettison and electrical system on/off happened. ----- Second issue, we (me and many others) could not rearm in SU27's after landing in a mission that has been running fine for months, when spawning in you can arm without issue. ----- Hope to hear about a fix and hope to see a new update to DCS soon, due to all the new issues that have been reported. Many thanks! dcs.rar

AirBasePolice now functional in CAUCASUS and NEVADA Hello all, In the new class: AIRBASEPOLICE; we have now added the NEVADA map airbases. The CAUCASUS map was already done, in case you wonder. This class has the following parameters: - Maximum taxi speed (can be adjusted by mission creator) - Maximum distance between aircrafts on the airbase, so to prevent people from crashing into eachother (can be adjusted by mission creator) - Only runway take-off permitted This will prevent all those cowboys from ignoring airport rules :thumbup: When an offender exceeds one of the maximum set parameters, he will receive 3 warning messages and if all are ignored he will be kicked back to spectators. This will not explode the aircraft so NO DEBRIS will be found on the airbases. Thanks to Mr. Flight Control for his relentless effort!

Yes, we tested this many times. The way to reproduce this is to open the included test file in here and then choose the A10A slot, you will then not be able to get in. Once you choose the F15C slot and then exit again and try the A10A slot again, you will then be able to enter in the pit. This would also work if you would have 2 late activated groups and switch between these two groups once, from that point on you can enter both. The A10A group is only activated when the F15C hits the trigger a little further down the taxiway. So even spawning in the F15C will not hit that trigger. Anybody knows the answer to fix this? Or if it's a bug can it please be reported? Many thanks for any help. Act-Group-TEST.miz

If you are already a member of TAW, you cannot get to the application screen. You should ask a transfer from your current squad in TAW to the DCS division. Succes ermee! ;)

We will do it asap!! Let you know the results. Thanks for the continued and quick work on this!

Hahha yes I am, was going FUNKY TIME all the way ;)

tnx man!!

This is a video of a SU27 FLANKER team of TAW: 2nd AGGRESSORS We are doing our weekly training flight with some: communication practice formation flying aerial refueling (sort of haha, the SU27 cannot refuel of course, but it's good practice) overhead break landing procedures and afterwards we did close combat guns only(this is not included in the video). We took 2 x SU33 in order to have the tanker deploy the fuel probes. Hope you enjoy it, we went back to the 80's music wise :music_whistling: Greeting from Dutch Baron and the TAW 2nd AGGRESSORS SQUADRON

Hi Griphos, Thanks you for your interest. Good news, we also have an North American division.
