I was speaking about some mountains near the Oman airport called Khasab. It's a detailled area for the other points with fabulous effect water, an detailled harbour and a very detailled airport but just near the airport, I've found this kind of bad mesh on some mountains.

Hi I begin to explore the map of Hormuz. A bad point ( for all maps of DCS but I thought that the problem would be fixed on the map of Hormuz) is the edges of few mountains with meshs coming from an other age, at the SU-27-flanker times ( happilly not everywhere of course, but some edges mountains aren't worthy to the 2018 year) In absolutly no other simulator nowadays, we can find these hideous cuts. The good now: In no other simulator too, I havn't seen a so high quality of water. The sensation of depth with the bottom of the water and the various effects are simply amazing. Big congratulations about that !

I havn't read all the topic and I just can say that if animated cows or other pets are coming in DCS, I just hope that it's just a beginning. In the wishlist section, I've often spoke about animated civilians or others stuffs like airport vehicles, or cable cars in mountains or more models of civilian cars available in the ME, some kinds of boats for rivers and all I've already spoke in the wislist section to make DCS more alive and no limiting it to war ambience. With the 2.5 ED gave us a wonderful land to fly and it's too bad to use it just with military and war affairs. Ok it's a simulator with only war flying machines but war flying machines are flying in peace times too. Hope the animated cows are only the beginning

Hi ED I have the 2 versions of 2.5 on my computer: The release and the bêta. I have well understood and we'd already talk about that, that we can't have the twice versions switched on the offline mode at the same time. It's Ok for me ! But what I don't understand is that if I have the release version switched on offline mode and the bêta switched on online mode by default, if I launch the bêta, it switches automaticaly the release on online mode too and after I have the 2 versions switched on online until I launch the release to switch it on offline mode again. That means that if I use the bêta because you have fixed some problems on this version and that a crash connection arrives during this time, I return to the DRM time when a connection by 3 days was obligatory. All that I want is that if we switch one of the 2 version on offline, OK you want to protect your work and the other is automaticaly switches online, but if we launch one of the 2 version already on online mode, it doesn't switch the other on online too. Thanks !

Hi If we choose to make a flight without flightplan but with a wingman, this one don't follow the player if the player choose to land on an other airfield than the take-off airfield and we must order to wingmen to RTB. An option to ask wingmen to land on the nearest airfield would be welcome.

Thanks, the mod works !

Thanks, I'll try immediatly

Thanks for your reply but no, I can't, because the fortifications or infantries can't be placed on the see, even on an oilrig.

Hi I try to built a rescue mission with the Huey on a oilrig on fire. A "stretcher-body" cargo coming from the user's mod Upuaut waits the rescue on the helipad of the oilrig. I want to simulate a boarding by desactivating the static "stretcher-body" cargo when my Huey is landed on the oilrig but if I can find the command "activate static" in the trigger list, I can't find the "desactivate static" command.

Ok I've found It's not only for cargos but all statics. It's to join a static with a ship, I think. Thanks for all your answers !

Hi What is this option appeared in the 2.5B mission editor ? the offset fixing on cargos for winching missions

Hi Having downloaded the mod putting the martians tripod and flying saucers in the mission editor, I would be interested to give them a more sci-fy sound than engines of a jet or a tank. We can easily find sci-fy sounds in sounds banks on the net and recording them in all kind of files (ogg, wav) but how affecting after, these sounds to this mod ?

Perhaps I misspoke. When I put my Gazelle in autopilot mode and that I take the left seat, when I switch the rotactor in the "pilot" position, the main joystick don't turn or don't pitch the camera and the zoom doesn't work, even after 3 minutes of heating. On the 2.5 release all works properly.

Hi In the 2.5 beta, the aiming and firing Hot missiles is impossible. The SA-342 isn't enslaved to the aiming camera and the rotating of camera is impossible. I've tried in 2.5 release and all is quite normal.

Hi I've already asked: When there are planes driving on the taxiway, planes on final approach are refusing to land. Absolutly unrealistic and it wasn't the case at the 2.1 times. Why having change that for an innapropriate behaviour ? Can we hope to see again a good AI behaviour for that, one day ?

Hi Now that Hormuz is released, could you make some Emirates skins for other planes than A380 if you can. Thanks again for your mod.

Thanks guys ! I hadn't noticed yet the option in the graphic settings. That works !

I've tried 2.5beta and 2.5 release and not rain effect at all. I've seen on youtube, a video with rain effect on SU-27, I've tried with this plane on my 2 versions of DCS but not rain effact at all.

I didn't know that Mustang had done terrain textures for 2.5 Downloaded, tested and Mr Mustang:

Well said !

All of that represents a good amount of work. I prefer that ED find a way to make money with an asset pack like that, and having all these things soon than waiting that we can find some of these stuffs freely included in DCS in one century or two.

Hi Since the release of Hormuz, I say again that an asset pack with civilian peoples and vehicles would be welcome ( for other maps too): -Boats for rivers and lakes ( small boats, sailer boats..) -Airport characters ( stewardess, pilots, technical staff, ground guides) -Airport objects ( boardig stairs, planes tractors, luggage transport) -Various civilian people ( tourists, some models of men and women) -Road vehicles ( cars, motocycles, cycles, police cars ) -Various civilian people practicing sport or activities ( skiing, fishing, climbing, sailing, skating, surfing....). -Specific equipements ( cable cars )

And what about the release and the beta ? For the moment, just the beta is in 2.5.1 version and I've switched it to offline. The release 2.5.0 hasn't the possibility of the mode offline for the moment. But what will happens when the update 2.5.1 release will come ? Can we will keep the beta switched on Offline and the release switched on Online on the same PC ?

The only thing I can reproach about the new anti-piracy system of ED is the fact to be forced to have a connection to enable the offline mode. It means that an unexpected lost of connection stop the game as before, after 3 days, if the offline mode hasn't been enabled before. In this way, the ofline mode becomes for me, the defaut mode in the use of DCS, with enabling the online mode only for multiplayer sessions and updates. But if an unexpected lost of connection arrives during this time, it's the same as before, the three days and eyes for crying if the connection isn't repaired during these three days. But now, the positive, is that you can preserve your capacity to use DCS when you come back home, by enabling the offline mode before an expected absence far from your home, even if you have lost the connection during this time. After, all stuffs with uddate of hardware, bios and so on, it's like the starforce period and at these times, nobody was crying: " and if I change my graphic card...and if I update my bios....and if ..." At these times, they were 2 options: using DCS_protect.exe to save the keys before hardware or bios change, or explaining gently to ED why you havn't keys anymore and they give news .

No problem for me too in 2.5.1 Bêta.
