I'm planning on getting a new map and can't decide between this one or Syria. Which map is bigger and has more rich and beautiful landscapes out of the 2? I have the stand alone version of DCS, does anyone know when it will be available to purchase directly from DCS's website?

For some reason when launching your mission. The B52's don't ever take off. I checked the start time and they're set to start immediately.

Thanks a lot for posting a miz file for me to test and look at. This will help me greatly.

I actuallytried tried testing out the antiship attack by spawning in a group of B52 Bombers and for each one I tried one of the 3 different payloads available for it. I had them take off from the runway at Anderson AFB in the marianas. I believed I left the waypoint tasks at default. I then spawned some USSR enemy boats nearby off the coast of, some harbor boats, and then later some Carriers and a Support ship. For the 1st testing run, the B52's were able to take out 3 out of the 4 harbor boats. Not sure why it didn't take out the last one. I placed the harbor boats close by. 4 fully loaded B52's should've been able to take them out no problem. For the 2nd run, the USSR enemy cruiser and carrier shift fired their weapoons and were able to take out all 4 B52's. And I believe the B52's were flying at aruond 2500-6000 AGL right after takeoff. Am I doing something wrong, or are the B52's not up to the task to take out those enemy ships?

Is it possible to use the Mission Editor to have an AI vs AI battle so you can load it up and spectate the entire thing? That's what I'm trying to accomplish here.

I am currently using the ME to design a scenario that I wish to play out but not sure what all the roles do. I would like to specifically know which role to pick for the following types of mission that I want to carry out for the following planes, the F16 and F18. What role to use if I want to specifically target LAND targets only, like SAM/AAA, Tanks, Infantry? What role to use if I want to specifically target ships? What is the best AG payload for F16/F18 to takeout land targets? (I'm thinking to load up all CBU-105's on the F16) What is the best AA payload for F16/F18 to takeout Enemy Aircraft, Helicopters? What is the best payload for F16/F18 to takeout ships? Also, how can I set the AI planes to automatically go after these targets in the mission editor?

Saw this on the F16 and was hoping the F18 has them as well.

Could you please share your SC mission for the Marianas Map?

Thanks, I was able to copy the supercarrier over from Caucas map to Marianas, however the ship is located off the map and even if i zoom out all the way. I still can't access or see it at all. Is there a way I can see it so that I can move it?

I noticed there's some default mission files pre-created by ED that came with the Supercarrier module. Is it possible to be able to cut and paste the entire ship layout and place it in a new mission? I would like to use the 'C-SUPERCARRIER-HORNET-16-POPULATION TEMPLATE.miz' in my own mission. What's the best and easiest way to do this?

I am currently using the mission editor to create a new customized mission and was wondering if there are any premade supercarrier templates that I can use to quickly populate the deck with active AI's taking off, landing, etc?

I know that but I would like it to behave more like how it does in MSFS 2020. Where you have to hold down the RMB and then move the mouse to pan. I don't like how you have to click to activate it. I want to be able just to hold down and then move the mouse to pan around. If you understand what I mean.

Already have Track IR. But sometimes I just like to PAN around the cockpit with the mouse instead. Is there a way to bind it to the Right Mouse Button? That's how it is in MSFS 2020. Also is there a keyboard shortcut to reset the camera back to the default position?

Thanks for all the help and suggestions. I was able to fix the problem by readjusting all those points on the graph. And also set profile to smooth as someone suggested. Now I just need to fine tune it to my liking.

I am using the plastic reflector thing that attaches to the brim of a hat. What is that?

I've been interested in this addon, but have heard people said it's not worth it. I would like to hear from others on here if they feel the same. Is it outdated?

This is how my Track IR settings look when I'm sitting looking directly straight at the TV.

I just did a test and it seems in the Track IR app those 3 green dots all disappear when I look left/right and downwards. Maybe I should increase the angle when I'm looking in either of those directions so I don't have to tilt my head down so much in order to not lose sight of the green dots?

Here, I took a pic. The blue line represents roughly where the height of my eyes would be from Track IR's sensor.

The issue I'm having is when I'm turning my head to the left/right and downward (looking towards the console on the F18) the focusing will get out of whack like it can't pick up on what I'm trying to look at, and then somehow the view defaults back to the rear and I have to kind of move my head around and try it to reset the view back to the front and center of the cockpit. I fly the F18 and it makes it almost impossible to access the side console, especially the further back part of the side consoles is where the problem begins. Turning to the left/right looking outside of the canopy is fine though. It only happens when I turn left/right and look down towards the console that this happens.

thanks so much!!!!

I posted about this issue about 4 years ago right when the hornet got released and sad to see that it still exists. Please ED, can you fix this for those of us who play at higher resoluions? It's a pretty big issue because you're constantly lookint at the main hud. The font, lines, symbology is too thick and bold. How come the HUD on the HMD looks right. But not the main HUD? If you can get the main HUD to look as sharp and crisp as the HMD's, that would be much better.

I thought it was just me having this issue, but seems to me that a lot of us are experiencing the same issue with the HUD on the F18/F16 being too thick and blurry. I have tried modifying those values in the lua file that was mentioned in here. It fixed the problem with the HUD and made it thinner and much more crisp and sharp. However, it also made the font and symbology on the 3 DDI screen also thinner. Is there a way we can independently adjust the thickness of the main HUD without affecting the DDI's? I find it strange that the HMD's HUD looks perfect in 4k It doesn't have the same thick and blurry issue as the main HUD. 1. 55" Samsunk 4K HDTV (Running DCS at 3840x2160) 2. No, just a single display 3. No mods or reshade 4. I have tried messing with the brightness knob and no matter what I set it to, the problem remains.

When will the update be out? That looks outstanding! Are you redoing all the default liveries?

I don't seem to have a file called Display_StrokeDefs.lua in my X:\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Cockpit folder at all. There is no 'Displays' Folder in there.
