I think it's regarding this earlier post, I thought it was part of what SnowTiger was experiencing but he just confirmed it was not. Perhaps it's just realistic, intended behaviour (part in red below): If you think it's not normal, I can report that properly with a track in another thread, I didn't mean to hijack this one :)

Exactly! Learning and getting it right is part of flying, even more in the case of combat flying. And if there's a potential to grow DCS, it should be welcome, it can only be an improvement for everyone. Now I hope the scripting features will continue to gain additional support for the training missions, there's already a lot of possibilities and for example the A-10C qualification DLCs by Maple Flag have shown this, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't easy for him. I think a few more triggers, data persistence, and extra links between the "GUI-oriented" editor and the lua would go a long way in that direction. For the MP enthusiasts, the idea of shared cockpit is also great, and it's already in there for a few modules. Perhaps introducing a rating in DCS could help open that path? Just see how sites like StackOverflow work, let people share their knowledge and use people's ego, it's an immediate success! :D The TF-51, the Albatros, the Yak-52 and the CE-II can offer a lot to many here, let's ignore the whinings of people who can't bear the idea that others may sometimes want something else than what they do. Hell, in the case of the CE-II it will even benefit to the future airplanes Magnitude 3 will release! I'd rather have a great Corsair or Stuka soon after release than a disappointing or average add-on for months, even if I'm familiar with the early release concept. A 172, a 150 or a Super Club? To be frank, each task must have appropriate tools, the army knife concept doesn't apply well to everything. So training with very basic airplanes like those, without ATC, without AI traffic, busy airport, VFR and IFR flights, without familiar scenery of your homeland, more realistic weather, ... which is also a big part of learning with those aircraft... well, perhaps DCS is not really fit for that, or at least not yet. Yes, I'd probably get them, but only if they offered more depth than what is already available elsewhere, and I don't see any developer who would choose DCS over other civilian sims for that right now.

Nice to see you've sorted it out! :) I'm always switching that on as part of the start-up procedure so I can't say I've noticed anything about that recently. Nothing visible in the SA342 log except long ago (June 2016). I've haven't tested it again to see if I still had this strange trim up/down inversion with altitude hold, when it slows down instead of accelerating. Perhaps it's intended, though I wouldn't see why. If you see anything like that let me know. Happy flying!

Using cargo view adds an horizontal offset in pilot/copilot views

Same here! :) -
Yes, the sounds have been noticeably improved, I see the updates in the autoupdate_log_old.txt file for both 1.5.8 and 2.2, so I suppose it must have been there in the previous update already. Also, the performances are much better! It's especially appreciable in the Normandy theatre and more specifically in a campaign like Epsom, but also on big cities like Las Vegas. It seems to skip frames sometimes, not sure it's just the AV-8B, it seems to be so perhaps it's just WIP on this add-on. But thanks to that, the Epsom campaign is now playable, at least as far as I could tell from the first mission, that's nice! It's also much more enjoyable thanks to the improved sounds and visual effects like the explosions and flak. :) Clouds do have more volumetric feel to them, but they are still made of 2D sprites rotating when the user turns the head and they all have the same aspect/size, however I know the meteorology is pretty basic and WIP. This could greatly improve the immersion, just imagine a big menacing TCU! Let's hope it will continue to improve. I never had a carburettor freezing, nor ice on the wings or props, I'm not even sure about the pitot, for example, perhaps I haven't tested enough? So overall impression, with the latest bug fixes and the Harrier on top, is just great :thumbup:

Very well done, looking forward to it! :) Sorry for all the negativity you received here, forums are a dangerous beast.
-
Ah, I caught that in the middle of a change then :) So we can still hope for a Corsair, that's all good. Not that people here will read any of that, they're too busy venting ;)
-
Hum. Actually, the roadmap has changed and they removed the F4U-1 today... so a Stuka maybe? Enough speculation for a few weeks ;) 1) Long ago: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2587315&postcount=617 2) Not so long ago: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3076364&postcount=946 3) Today: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3317796&postcount=1115

If you work for them, they might :)

It seems like a lot of fun! :D I think M3 may have underestimated the capacity of people here to get over-excited ;) Too bad the reaction of some is so... fierce. Personally I found that hilarious, sometimes you have to get things with a pinch of salt, and if it were a more complex aircraft, it would have been announced, it would also be in the roadmap for a while, and not shown so late in the development. If this bird is a first step towards a better Corsair, I think it's a good way to proceed. Regarding the price, I'm not sure however... it's probably a bit expensive for an experimental project? But it all depends on the quality (and the reception by the DCS users).

Haha, you're probably right! :D The MiG-21 is an icon of its generation, I'm sure whatever they have in store will be worth the "tedious" guess work ;)

This thread is becoming like a forum escape room concept ;)

Magnitude 3 LLC, you can probably get further in the Spectrum download by taking a screwdriver and adjusting the magnetic tape head of the player, that's how it was done back then ;) My soul for a Lancaster! :bounce:

Jump into another aircraft, not available in SA342
Redglyph replied to Redglyph's topic in Bugs and Problems
OK, good news, thanks! I didn't know this updated log existed, and since there was no reaction here it looked like nobody saw it. :) -
A Spectrum, I was hoping never to hear that sound again :cry: :D Ah, the F-16XL was introduced the same year (that's wishful...), or the F117? And the Lockheed Have Blue (HB1001) in 1977. Strange.
-
Hopefully not this one... it could still be a 747, but for the aerobatics I'm not sure :D
-
Radial like a double wasp, used in a certain aircraft in the DCS roadmap? ;) And "surprises" would explain the picture of Batajnica Airodrom, where there are MiG-21, also something expected.

Hello? -
Radar antenna azimuth constantly dropping in 1.5.7
Redglyph replied to Redglyph's topic in Resolved Bugs
Can't reproduce it in 1.5.8.12265.407, this can be closed (not sure anyone read it anyway). -
The -EM is also one of the birds used by the 101st, as reported before. Quite a big bird though.
-
Air force units operating from this base: - 101st Fighter Aviation Squadron (MiG-21, MiG-29UM) - 252nd Training Squadron (G-4, N-62T, J-22 Orao, err, Utva 75 ... and Gazelle!) - other squadrons... - there's also the TTC, which apparently tested more flying things, and other things that don't fly very well.
-
PM a moderator to move them perhaps, otherwise the right people probably won't see your questions. There's a "wish" section for everything related to the DCS world, but I wouldn't hold my breath :)

The Spitfire sounds have been improved too!
