Learn to spot color and shape. It takes practice. Sometimes you gotta get in close to see, depending on aspect, but a lot of the planes have distinct things about that to look for. The Spit has a huge prop, mustang has a huge intake on the bottom, 109 has very skinny wings, none of those and its a 190 ;)

You cannot use keyboard for this, just your HOTAS or other Controllers. Ill double check tonight, and I'll file a bug about it if one doesnt already exist.

It's reported on internal bug tracker.

Thanks guys!

Here is the 6th video in the series, hope you guys enjoy! qzu5-g792S8

And episode 5 - Crossunders

Here is the 4th episode in the training series. Hope you enjoy it.

Elite Dangerous had this issue and solved it with a color dithering post process, it worked really well. It can be seen here. I think I wrote this up as a bug already but will go back and check.

And the next zONaM73KrUg

Here is the next episode on the list, enjoy

Hey guys, I'm hoping at least some of you know about my youtube channel, most of you who frequent the various DCS discords, facebook, reddit channels have probably seen at least 1 post of mine. However, I wanted to create a more official source here for those that do not frequent those spots. Seems rather fitting to post updates to my channel in an area dedicated to Guides and Tutorials ;) Anyway my youtube channel can be found here http://www.youtube.com/c/Jabbers I post on various topics: Tutorials (an ongoing list of tutorials mostly focused on BFM/ACM techniques) Sorties (review or just highlights of prior sorties) Just Goof'n (generally just funny things that occur on my stream) (P)Reviews (what it sounds like) and other various topics Some of my most viewed content includes the following: A new tutorial series I'm working on is an ACM & Formation series where I take real AF/Navy ACM tactics and formations and generalize them for the more casual DCS crowd. The first in the series is on Section Takeoffs and can be found here I'm hoping to continue the series with the following topics Interval Takeoff ( ) Running Rendezvous ( ) CV Rendezvous ( ) Crossunders ( ) Overhead Break ( ) Parade Formation ( ) Cruise Formation (On the cutting room floor) IMC Turn (On the cutting room floor) VMC Turn (On the cutting room floor) Overhead Brake (On the cutting room floor) Combat Spread/Formation (On the cutting room floor) Check Turns (TBD) Shackles (TBD) Cruise Turns (TBD) TAC Turns (TBD) Cross Turns (TBD) Anyway, this is probably a great place to give me feedback, or suggestions for future topics. Thanks! -Jabbers

If you guys wouldn't mind letting me know how you play DCS, just trying to gain some insight as to what the community fragmentation percentages are. Thanks https://strawpoll.com/d4339x9d

How come this server goes down and doesnt come back up? It seems to always happen in my timezone when I want to play. Last night it was ~9:30pm PST, I got offline around 1am PST and the server was still down. Please for the love of all gods... leave this server up, I cannot live without it! Thanks for you hard work ;)

Not seeing the HUD in 2.1 is a known issue and has been reported.

As far as I knew, it had been broken or disabled since ~1.5.4 even though the option was still there? Placebo... or im wrong, but I've not noticed a different in a long time in spotting.

This is Simple Radio

Model enlargement has not worked in 1.5 for a while, regardless of that option. I play in VR every day, have had no un-usual spotting issues. Infact, i think stuff is buggy right now cause you can make out dots of planes and missiles from over 20 miles away.

Model enlargement was removed from game WELL before 1.5.7

Just a heads up, unless issues like this are reported here https://forums.eagle.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=487 They will probably not get addressed. I've reported this issue.

I'd like to just point out Foveated rendering is not something that will come out and instantly make things better, this kind of tech needs to be implemented by the game engine. While dcs would support such things, I don't think they will support it on 1 system and not another. ED just doesnt seem to work this way, they dont care to give an advantage to any one group of players based on their hardware, hence why we haven't ever seen any of the NVidia or ATI specific libraries in use that are suppose to help things with VR performance. So, Foveated rendering is a moot point for DCS and why you should use the Vive, but i get your tracking requirements, I've seen your incredible setup ;)

Might be tough, I'm guessing not a lot of people have both platforms. Personally, I've tried both (not with DCS) but just general demo games at E3. They are pretty close, my biggest complaint is after play things on the Oculus, I cannot handle the SDE on the Vive, its slightly worse than Oculus, but enough for me to not like it. Also makes things harder to read. My 2nd complaint is SteamVR, I've had nothing but issues with it. It breaks, random grey flashes, things of this nature drive me crazy. I realize I'm bias, I do own a Rift... but it's not to say I wouldn't switch to something better, I'm in no way attached to Oculus, I just personally don't feel the Vive is on par with visuals, weight or comfort. I also need to add that I only really play DCS in VR, I don't really do standup, so thats not really a factor for me.

Nope, my tutorial is really the only solution. I stream and make youtube content like this, and am always open to new ideas and am always looking for something. I've run through all the .lua files (I'm a software engineer so they all make sense to me), but have found nothing that helps, and actually never really expected to since the desktop mirror is exactly what your left eye would see and any alteration would break either the mirror or dcs. Why not just leave it always 4k? Thats what i do, pretty much every game still works fine at that resolution for me.

Agreed, it'll be a slower progression, than what this article outlines. Ultimately, its going to be resolution and wireless that will take front stage.

Great to see advancement, sad when you read the end of the article though "it's not inconceivable that their tech trickles down to the consumer level within two or three years."
