You assign a key as normal and then in the cockpit the furthest panel back on the right of the centre console is the countermeasure panel. First using the radial buttons, select how many flares and how much chaff you want dispensed each time you press the CM button (I go for 5 of each). The you need to move the switch on the right of the panel from safe to arm. Then when you press the assigned key, it will fire flares and chaff. Hope that helps. Jacks

Good to hear as I will being buying one shortly. Unfortunately the 980 is outside my budget. It would be great if a future dcs makes the move to DirectX 12 as it double the available VRAM when using SLI.

That video look awesome. The gazelle is definitely the module I am looking forward to the most this year. I hope they can make it multicrew as well! Jacks

I have noticed that multiplayer uses more VRAM than single player.

For those with 970's using 3.5Gb of VRAM are you getting stuttering as it sounds like all of your card's VRAM is being used up.

No I don't generally use the axis for anything apart from on the mi-8 where one lever is for collective and if you move down and then past the stop it operates the wheel brakes. I am reluctant to use modifiers or switches. I am trying to get it so on the mig-21, SU-25T, A-10C and F-15, when one of the levers is move all the way down (so the button is pressed) the gear goes down and stays down. Then when the lever is moved up (so the button is released) the gear retracts. Jacks

Chuck, could be worth starting a new thread with the date in the title as many people probably don't look at this thread since the last event finished. Jacks

I am concerned that editing aircraft Luna files will mean that I will fail server integrity tests. Jacks

Doss the in game counted show VRAM usage, I thought it just showed RAM usage. I use MSI afterburner to monitor VRAM usage in game. Could be worth a try.

My 2Gb GTX 770 OC regularly runs out of VRAM and then stutters. I primarily play online. I am looking at upgrading to a GTX 970 for the extra 1.5Gb of VRAM. Jacks

Currently I use my Saitek throttle quadrant to control the undercarriage, parking brake and air brakes on most aircraft. Whenever any of the levers are pushed passed the zero point they register as a button. This works well for lowering the undercarriage as I can assign this extra button to an action and it acts like the real thing. The problem is that I have to then raise the lever and then press another button to activate the action of raising of the uncarriage. Is there anyway I can change how the buttons are assigned so that aircraft that require a button to raise and another button to lower the undercarriage can use a single button to perform these two actions just like the actions that use a press hold function like wheel brakes? I hope this makes sense. Jacks

I haven't seen that mod! Is your own or is it available for download?

Does this mod work on multiplayer?

There are still plenty of original and flying airframes that could be used as a reference and so I don't see this being a problem. Plans also still exist for many of the aircraft plus the aircraft were so simple that I wouldn't see as too much of a challenge. I would like to see a WW1 French map with a model trench system :thumbup: Jacks

Devrim, thanks for the reply. I may look at the textures and see if I can place some labels over the shimmering text. It won't look too good but will do the job. Hopefully, DirectX 11 will resolve this issue. I have had shimmering text in every cockpit in dcs and so had use mods for each one. Thanks again for the mod which I have used since day one of flying the mi-8. Jacks

Buy a helicopter then :megalol:

Nice landing!

Thanks Mirknir, I will try again tonight. Jacks

Devrim, thanks for this great mod! I have a issue where the White writing on the lower centre console continually flickers and is completely illegible. I assume that this is a mipmap issue. Is this a known problem and is there a fix for it? Jacks

Chuck, I have seen a script somewhere that means that if a player is shot down, they cannot respawn until they are rescued by a helicopter. This would replicate medievac and SAR ops. Could be a cool addition to the mission and create an additional task that has a serious effect on operational success. Jacks

I joined the server as a mig-21 for some PvP action but could not rearm or refuel as the option was blanked out in the communications menu. This meant I could load any AA missiles - not much good for PvP. I tried a few mig-21s and found the same problem. Is this a known bug? Jacks

Sounds good, should be available. Looking forward to it! Jacks

This is one of the aircraft I am looking forward the most! It would be great to see a Falklands scenario or the harrier operating in an Afghanistan scenario. I would particularly love to see a sea harrier and Working HMS Ark Royal. Good luck with this exciting project. :thumbup: Jacks

Unfortunately I around Saturday but away sunday. Jacks

Never but isn't that the point of of a simulator? They certainly squared up to each on numerous times during the height of the Cold War. We are talking about a 'cold' war era scenario, because it never developed into a full conflict. Surely this means that the majority of the mig-21's opponents never actually saw action. People are interested in the Cold War era of simulation to play the what if scenarios especially given the current map options. So I personally think that the east vs west dogfights and engagements between aircraft that never actually fought will be the most popular.
