Came back edited the dlg as well, tooltips are still black instead of turning off.

Hey all, I have done a bunch of liveries in the past, however they all used default or no numbers that appear and change in game. The reason for this is the livery didn't call for it or the simple fact that I have no idea what to do with the numbers. They always break when I save them like a traditional texture and I can't seem to modify them in anyway. To make textures I use the Nvidia .dds tool for photoshop, can anyone provide some insight?

Can confirm this bug, tried editing just the .lua and it made the tooltips solid black, but I assume editing the dlg will fix it. Bit of an annoying bug.

Another update rolls around and this issue still hasn't been addressed or fixed.

I figured this would be a reported bug by now that would get fixed in this update but I guess not. Ever since the last update this became an issue. Clients can't see static objects placed down in missions. The host to the server can see them just fine. This includes but is not limited to: Parked aircraft and vehicles, placed buildings, all static objects. This has been tested with my group multiple times, through multiple clients, using previously made and built from scratch missions. I feel this hasn't been reported because the Host (of a server) or in singleplayer you can see these just fine, but it seems to be a client side issue. The clients also do not collide with static objects even though the host does. If the host taxis into say, a static mig-23, the client will see the host randomly explode but this will not happen to the client if they taxi into the mig-23s position. Please fix this, static objects are rather important and has put some of our missions on hold as they relied on them. Want to replicate this? Place down some static objects in the mission editor and host a server, you can see the objects, but your clients can't.

Was pleasantly surprised to find the livery I made in here, great shots! I figure I'll dump some of my own in of my MiG-29A liveries.

You gotta remember what part of the forum we are in, though, nothing here are ED's obligations.

This isn't to say ED won't do it in the future though. If you asked ED 8 years ago when we would get the F-18 you probably wouldn't get a promising answer.

well...**** One can dream though right?

So from what Wags has hinted at it sounds like 2.5s map is going to be expanded a bit. It seems to be a very good guess that it will include Crimea which is awesome! However I think the map could be expanded eastward just a tiny bit to fit in Grozny and surrounding areas. For those of you who don't know Grozny is the capital of Chechnya and taking the city has been a huge part of the First and Second Chechen wars. I know this may have some politics around it but Grozny is quite a large place, sizeable to Sochi and it has 2 airfields in its vicinity. It would make a great expansion to the map regardless of its history.

Why would we get the SMT? It is a modern in-service MiG-29 and it functions much differently from traditional MiG-29s. I will never understand why people think we can somehow get things like the Su-27SM and the MiG-29SMT. They have MFDs and modern (classified) systems. Plus the SMT is pretty ugly compared to the other MiGs :P

Once the MiG-29 is released with AFM I have no idea why you would want it to be free. ED is putting in a lot of work in this new model and AFM so why would they want it to be free? $10 is a very reasonable price for the A, S, and G. I do agree some things should be made free in DCS like being able to be in a seat of a multicrew but offering them the MiG-29 would be a dumb business decision.

What other mods does Likki have? I'm curious.

Thanks for the info! However I couldn't find exactly what I needed in this .lua. I'm not looking to change the sliders but simply what the presets set things with on/off and low/medium/high. An example would be the Civilian Traffic setting. It defaults to low (if I remember right) when you click the High preset but I would like it to be off.

Not what I asked for. I am talking about the presets under the display options.

Is there a way to set what the presets (Low, Medium, High, VR) go to? I am tired of switching to VR, changing a few settings, then switching back to high when I'm done and tweaking more settings. Is there a way? I haven't been able to find the config.

Do we really need a transport helo with just door gunners in DCS right now? I mean no offense but the CH53 makes the Huey and Mi-8s weapon systems look AH-64 tier. I think maybe a transport helo like this would be cool after we get attack helos in the game. Just my $0.02 though.

I can't be the only one who wishes for this. As an English speaker for FC3 aircraft I prefer to have the option set to 'Native' for avionics as I have learned and prefer the HUD, cockpit, and Natalia in Russian as it's more immersive. I also like hearing the German the few times I get to fly the MiG-29G. On the flip side of the coin having native makes it very difficult for the full fidelity Russian modules like the MiG-21 and Ka-50 because even the tooltips if enabled turn into Russian and things like the abris is a lot more difficult if you have no idea what it says. So I think it would be a nice addition to have it go by module say in the 'special' menu to individually set whether we should have 'Native' or 'English (or whatever language the user is)' Now that would be it to make me happy but I also think it would be great to set individual aspects to Native vs English. Example: Being able to have Natalia yell at you in Russian while still being able to read the abris would be fantastic. Again though this could be too much work and I would happily just have a pure by-module basis.

Another update rolled around and the Caucasus map is still broken in VR. It seems like it's just a simple texture and it works flawlessly in 2.0. Can we expect a fix ever?

Tbh in my oppinion these poll options are kind of dumb. Why did you fill it with hyper-modern jets? There is no way we would ever get something that modern, why not fill it with cold war aircraft like DCS fits into well? Here is my list of things I want that I feel are realistic: 1. Full fidelity Su-27S 2 but tied with 1. Full fidelity MiG-29A 3. MiG-31 but I doubt we would get it so the next one 4. almost tied with 3: MiG-25 5. MiG-23 To be honest as someone who prefers and loves Russian aircraft, I would take ANYTHING non-trainer post-korea, Russian military aircraft at this point :'(

These mods both got approved for the user mods section at the same time so I figure I'd combine the post. I won't put tons of info here since you can find it all on the links provided but I figure I'd make a thread for them.

Glad to hear it!

Thanks so much! It's feedback like this that inspires me to make more :megalol:

I'm afraid ED probably won't release one when it's done. So unfortunately I had to create my own from scratch using the base textures. I may be able to upload a pure metallic skin with no markings or camouflage if that may help you guys. Currently I believe I have the only custom livery for the new model and it was an absolute pain to get it there.

Sorry guys, turns out I accidentally zipped an old description.lua with the last download. It should be fixed now but if one of you could try it again and report back that would be fantastic.
