Set zoom and seat position if you prefer and press R ALT +NUM 0. This will save cockpit angles. When you start a mission it will still go to a default zoom level but all you need to do is press zoom normal to start with your saved "default" view. I always have zoom normal and view center bound to quickly get back to my default zoom and looking straight ahead since I dont use VR/ track IR.

I think mission gen. isn't working with Syria yet if thats the map you're using.

Check that directory looks like this. C:\Users\YourName\Saved Games\DCS\Mods\aircraft\A-4E-C

Maybe they added some general commands that apply to all modules too. I noticed my flaps controls missing and another button bound to something else I didnt bind it to in my P-51.

Go into Options and make sure "game avionics" and "game flight" are unchecked. Also when you start mission check to see that youre using "Sim/Real" control layout.

Yeah,I've noticed that too. Definately has an uneven spread. Not like the rockeye with a perfect circle of damage. Rippling 2 with 100-125ft interval in a dive or low level strafe has worked best for me.

I think additional commands have been added to the F-16 list. Your profile may now be incompatible since the number of commands is different.

I'm surprised people are complaining about damage with cbu87 in F-16. I had given up on these long ago in the A10 since they seemed useless but was trying them on the F16 and regularly taking out multiple soft/lt armor targets. It seems way more effective than in the A10 even with lower HOF in A10.

Sometimes skins are limited to only being seen if you choose native country (Israel) in mission planner. In the skin description LUA you can add other countries or delete the line that limits skin to certain country and you'll always see skin in livery list. You have to save change to LUA after you do this.

"Added removing of precompiled shaders from previous version of dcs on Update." Does this mean we don't need to delete metashaders and fxo folders after updates?

Read elsewhere lowering terrain textures helps. The reality is theres never been a new map running well on day one. Might take a while to optimize so adjusting settings all you can do.

Im guessing this rant was supposed to be posted in the forums where it maybe would've been deleted. Things submitted to user download section are probably just checked for malware.

Be sure to ask him about making Tom Cruise sick in there first flight.8):unsure::puke:

Oops. Yeah, I was adding adding desert skins to ground units recently and forgot bazar/liveries was the AI one.

For skins you will need to create a "Liveries" folder in your Saved Games / DCS folder and then create folder for each module there. In your main install (program files/Ed/DCS/bazaar/liveries you'll see how eaxh module is named so copy that foldet name for your saved games/liveries folder.

If you are going to open downloaded missions from Start Screen/ Missions they'll be found under "My Missions" and you may need to adjust path to them or just go to Mission Editir/ Open File and create path.

A few things about mods. Most cant be used when playing multiplayer due to an integrity check. Updating DCS with mods installed can break mod or your install. Older mods may no longer work wirh current version. I f you updated with mod installed and now doesnt work try disabling mod, repair DCS, enable mod. If that doesnt work a cleanup then repair will remove any mods from install and repair. Then reinstall mod.

Are both "game avionics" and "game flight" unchecked?

Giving the current A-10 and KA-50 cockpit makeovers leads me to believe they wont be abandoned any time soon. I would think most bugs or problems that arise from future updates would be a simple copy paste from new to legacy version of modules since the differences are pretty limited.

It was clarified that Dynamic campaign would be integrated. I doubt you'll be able to add other missions to it though since its keeping track of assets, troop positions, and everything taking place in the campaign

Do you reduce fuel quantity? Unless you're flying from one end of map to the other you wont need 100% fuel.

Better to get in the habit of orbitting target area and using AP to hold orbit so you're hands free to findi targets and set up weapons and approach target when ready.

With no weapons active you should see VVSL on right DDI. That will slave to VV.

Great to see the Hind in action, if only to scare the locals.
