I don't really understand it either. If a server has the same plane on both sides, they should already be different countries, which means different skins. I thought it was because they didn't want people picking the other teams liveries, but that wouldn't happen anyway. 104th for example removed the feature completely, which annoys me because now all their MiG-29S's are the same livery we have been using for a year, even though a bunch of really nice ones just came out. Also half their Flankers are the Kazak ones, and now I'm stuck with that too.

Hello all. With the help of some friends, I have put together a very simple mod that 1: reverts the MiG-29 HUD to the 1.5.6 version. 1.5.7 added a low resolution, "baked on" reflection on the HUD which made it really dark and dirty looking. 2: makes the SPO-15 bright enough so that you can actually read what it says at all times. The SU-27 and Su-25 SPO's are perfectly bright, but the MiG-29's is so dim that you can't read what it says during the day. This was a simple texture mod done by user "Cmptohocah". Here is an image comparison Because it is a Livery, the installation is very easy and takes seconds. Once you place this "Fixed" folder in all of the MiG-29 Livery folders, you select it via the FC3 special options menu, and that's it! Enjoy being able to see through your HUD again, as well as being able to tell what the hell your SPO says. DOWNLOAD LINK:https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/2827277/

I made a mod to deal with this. It also makes SPO-15 brighter, and passes integrity check. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/2827277/

Я не могу читать Береза, но только на МиГ-29. Су-27 и Су-25 без проблем. Другая проблема с 1.5.7. Не могу видеть через ИЛС. Слишком темно. 1.5.6 и теперь 1.5.7

The problem is that its not exactly dirty. The problem is that they put a really low resolution texture on it that is supposed to look like a reflection. It's not actually dirt or wear and tear. Just a really bad looking low resolution reflection of the cockpit and stuff. No other plane has it this bad.

I have no mods installed because they don't work on any servers. Its depressing how bad the MiG-29 cockpit is right now. Can't see through my hud and I can't read my SPO.

It would be really cool if they one day updated the helmet site. They already have the animation and sprite for the sight, just copy and paste from the KA-50. From the MiG-29 manual that I've read, they even already have the right symbology. I can't remember exactly, but it changes from circle to cross when you have a lock. Right now its honestly sorta of cheap, to be able to just look, press lock, and it stays there even when not looking at the target. Would suck for non-Track-ir users, but it would be really cool

One more image. Look at how the "baked on" reflection lights up with cockpit lights. Almost impossible to see through hud!!

Here is a comparison: What it looked like before: and how it looks now:

For some reason in 1.5.7, the MiG-29 HUD has like a "baked on" reflection and it looks horrible. It makes it look like the HUD is dirty. It's darker and harder to see through now. I would see if I could remove it via a mod, but we all know mods don't work online anymore....

The problem is that even at 3000 meters and around 1000km/h which is what I usually cruise around at, its still pitching up. Its just annoying to have to keep the stick forward at all times or use the autopilots autolevel. I don't remember ever having to do this before.

So I've noticed lately that the SU-27 will still climb even after trimming all the way down. I'll have trimmed the stick as far forward as I can and the nose still pitches up It happens at faster speeds, around 800km/h+ and more specifically when under 2000-3000 meters. Once you get to higher altitude I don't have this issue, only when flying low and slow. Anyone else have this issue? Am I doing something wrong? Edit: I just tested it to make sure. At 1000km/h indicated, at 1500meters, I'm pitching up even with full nose down trim.

With the new update, I have but one request: Can we please diversify the MiG-29S skins? There was only one when the new S model was released, but with this update there is 9 skins total, and some of them look absolutely amazing. After all those years of flying the old S model with the low res skins, seeing these be updated on a new model with a new texture is just awesome. The default S skin is great, but I'll be sad if its the only one that's in the missions since it's all i've flowin in for the last half a year. There is a good mix of "modern" russian liveries, as well as ones for the Soviet era, so it would be easy to pick ones that fit your mission (modern or east vs west/cold war missions)

At this point how can one have any hope? These lag issues have been around for literally years, have they not? Maybe it is just a blue flag thing, who knows. As much as I disagree with the 104th's mission design, I've found my self playing there more than BF simply because it actually works. Last couple of sorties on BF have been just depressing with the amount of lag. I want to like the server so bad. Me and my friends every day check, see that there are a bunch of people on, hop on, and then quickly are reminded why we usually stop playing. Players teleporting and flying all over airfield when we are shut down and fueling. I mean come on.

https://webmshare.com/AvB7G Daily occurrence on the Blue Flag server. I have not seen this on any other server in my entire time playing DCS. At what point will ED consider fixing their multiplayer? Dedicated servers? Anything? Its insane. Almost as insane as me playing every day.

WOW This mod is amazing! So much better. Crazy that you are able to fix it in 15 minutes but ED still hasn't changed it... This is a game changer, thank you.

Gotta say I'm loving the changes to the server. Much more fun fighting over a new area instead of the same old same old :)

I just wish the plane to plane datalink worked in multiplayer. Its something that makes the Flanker unique, and gives it a sort of asymmetric balance against the F-15's superior... almost everything.

So when SoH comes out, will we have to pay for liveries for the Iraqi and Iranian air force? What about units that fit that theater, will they be payed as well?

Lets make a deal. I convince my friends to use it, and you convince ED to make it part of the game since its a damn shame that the "premiere combat flight simulator" has 0 built in radio functionality. :smilewink: Even a mod like BMS has it, and it works beautifully.

The website shows who is using it or not. If you check right now, almost all of Blue is using it, while only 3 people on Red are. Like I said, if nobody uses it, I'm not going to bother installing it. I think there is a Blue Flag TS that you could use though.

Me and my friends use a TS and have our own GCI. Our communication is as good if not better. Can't be assed to set up simple radio when nobody on red uses it anyway.

I would pay all the money I have for any of those, but we will never ever get them. Anything post 1970's has 0% chance in hell of coming to DCS because of the new Russian laws. Su-27SM, Mig-29, Mig-23, all cancelled with no reason given to us because of NDA. NDA = ED told us not to tell you guys that Putin has classified everything and we literally can't make Russian modules anymore. So for now we make due with FC3 versions of the MiG-29 and Su-27...

Since there will never ever be any modern Russian planes added to DCS, FC3 will sadly be the only modern OPFOR planes.
