Volator

Meiner Kenntnis nach war es so, dass man die P-8 seitens der Marine schon lange gerne haben wollte, ja, aber eine offizielle Entscheidung gab es noch nicht. Die ist gestern gefallen.

Naja, "langsam"... die Entscheidung ist erst gestern gefallen, und heute berichtet tagesschau.de sowie natürlich auch marine.de darüber. Das finde ich nicht langsam. Entscheidend ist doch, dass es die breite Öffentlichkeit gar nicht interessiert. Und wer sich dafür interessiert, der konnte sich schon vor geraumer Zeit darüber informieren, dass die Luftwaffe Hercies bekommt. Anders als bei der P-8 wurde das zwar nicht in der Tagesschau kundgetan, aber in den einschlägigen Medien. Schön für die Marineflieger nach dem Desaster mit der P-3. Endlich mal ein off-the-shelf-Produkt, das anders als die sonstigen Goldrandlösungen der BW nicht so viele Probleme bezüglich Klarstand verursachen sollte.

No, nothing. Just checking Mariannas in ME. Another crash just now, old style: Switching from F10 map to vehicle external view (F7), insta crash, black screen, system totally locked up and only resetable via hard reset. I haven't had these crashes with another modern flight sim with extensive satellite imagery that is also very taxing on the GPU so far. It only happens with DCS, so I assume it's something in the code. Edit: Sorry, I take that back. I just had this particular crash just starting Discord for the very first time now. So it's definitely not DCS, but probably something with the GPU. Investigating. dcs.log

So after not having experienced this bug in the last three weeks, now with the latest update it's back. I just admired the new Mariannas map in ME when the bug struck again. dcs.log

Yeah, that's it.

Same here. I've never seen anything else with the Gazelle. Well, it needs the least little touch of right cyclic on take-off as it will start drifting left once in the air, but two little clicks on the trim will do. It's barely noticeable.

True, true

... and yet another aircraft-specific thread turns into a general aircraft wishlist thread

You might be talking about a JTAC script that is being used on most multiplayer servers. It's not an internal feature of DCS, but an external script, and yes, your request is definitely a thing, but if I'm not mistaken this is the wrong place to ask for it.

@NineLine @BIGNEWY Please forward this request to the devs. Changing units and position references on the fly with a button in-game (F10 map and external view) would be great and maybe not as difficult as "Please add plane xy".

Absolutely! And still there are people here actually harassing "thread necromancer"... Like posting the same issue over and over again would do any good to this forum.

Is it? Ok, I was searching for that info, thanks. I'll wait for that one.

Just for the record, I don't think it's a third-party full module, but I hope it is.

You have to hit the middle of the road more or less precisely.

Exactly my thoughts...

No, but a simple autopilot cheat for altitude and heading hold would be useful.

Does anybody know about compatibility with Playseat Air Force?

... and now the second black screen full system lockup after just 5 minutes...

Unfortunately it is back. I had two days of perfect stability, DCS running for hours, but today, after about 25 minutes, the black screen reappeared, switching from F10 to F1 view. Again, the crash was not instant but happened after about 2 seconds in F1 view.

Good question, or a good feature request! Another request: It seems in Combined Arms as Tactical Commander you can't access the CTLD functions. Can it be adapted for CA? Driving around in a JTAC Humvee, I can't access "my own" spotting information. Also, is there a way to configure display time for spotted target coordinates? I'd like to write them down to put a mark on the F10 map in multiplayer, but the display time is rather short and I sometimes can't write down the numbers quickly enough. So what's needed is a way to access the JTAC option when actually being the JTAC, and maybe longer display time.

The former, I never used SSLR, not to my knowledge

@Flappie I had two more crashes of this kind after my last post, but today DCS has been running ever so stable. No black screens, no F10 zoom crash... It must have done something...

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, it hasn't solved the problem. However, there was a small but noticable difference: When changing from F10 into F1 view, the game crash / black screen didn't happen instantly, but about 10 seconds later. I've also just vacuumed the computer just to make sure it's not a dust problem...

No, nothing of that... This type of crash has only ocurred recently. Before 2.7 I never had any DCS crashes...

... and now, after experiencing the same bug and hard-resetting the system, the same bug appeared during start-up of DCS for the very first time. Didn't even get to the main menue. dcs.log
