Kinda of OT but supporting your thread in a way, Although I don't have the Su-33, I have the Su-27 / J-11 This Non-stop wingmen reporting contacts right after takeoff is still present in the current 2.7.5.10869 stable. It can be annoying to the point that, I just tend to quit the given mission and fly it again. The workaround for now is to command your flight to switch their radars off before take-off. This also happens when flying the F-15, so I assume this affects the FC3 aircraft. This bug seems to occur randomly. There are times I forget to command the flight to shut down their radars and they won't report a thing until the contacts are close enough.

..just updated to our latest 2.7.5.10869 and now the F-15's night cockpit looks like as if some glow-in-the-dark substance was wiped over it. This only affects the front panel though, The sides still look normal.

Anyways for me it's wingman 2, wingman 4 and the AWACS controller. As if they're back seaters using some Karaoke System to speak to me instead of radios..

Sorry, i thought the sounds came with the china assets pack or so Anyways thanks

Maybe something insignificant but I wish Deka would somehow decrease the volume of the China coalition Radio sounds a bit sometime. Maybe it's just me but I find them a bit louder when flying the J-11A for the China side.. that is.. compared to other radio chatter.. say russian or american radio chatter. Since, we can't really work around by adjusting the volumes of each sound files now using some Audio Program, because they're encrypted

"Right Shift + -" and "Right Shift + =" combos I see, so in a mission where pressure isn't standard, the Eagle's Altimeter will always be off Back then, I was thinking since FC3 Aircraft Altimeters can't be set, it automatically adjusts itself based on the set Pressure in the mission ^^;

I forgot to add, this usually happens when adjusting the altimeter settings prior to take off. When i don't adjust it, the difference doesn't seem much.

...vs the Menu Bar/F10 Altitude reading It seems that the Eagle's Barometric Altimeter "Drifts"... looses it calibration or something that the difference between the Menu/F10 view eventually ends up as big as 500+ feet or more. I'm using our 2.7.2 stable btw so yeah... Thanks

I see, thank you very much. Guess it was fun while it lasted. 2005-2008 LOMAC/Flaming Cliffs, then FC3 2018-2021 for the Su-27. Those R-77 mods gave me a glimpse as to what it's like in those Flanker SMs, Su-30s etc i guess. Yeps I'm also a cheapskate for not buying any other plane modules since I'm only in for the Eagle, ....aside from the Flanker. I'm kinda more interested in maps though. I now close another chapter of my flight simming story Thanks again ^

Oks.. i'll just forget and uninstall this module then. I was more of an Eagle fanboy anyway Thanks again

..for offline plays primarily. I know it's unofficial and might make other people frown, but I've been flying the Flankers exclusively with R-77s thru community mods for years now. Offline plays, I never bothered going online multiplayer anyways.. Since the update to the 2.7 stable, I can't seem to find the .lua files that need to be overwritten. So are the Su-27 & J-11 .lua files gone now? I'm trying to find the .lua files of the Su-27 & J-11 to make the R-77 & SD-10 available for both jets in the mission editor again, but can't find them now. Though the mod seemed to have carried over from 2.5 to 2.7 though as pictured. Anyways thanks

I'm planning to upgrade my keyboard from a generic type to gaming rgb stuff. What type of keys are best for rudder input? Tactile? Linear? Etc? I do have a T.16000m but it's twist axis got borked and has a considerable spiking now... and no i dont plan to get rudder pedals as it won't fit in my table for now. I'm only using jets that aren't rudder intensive like the Eagle so no big deal on my part. Thanks for any suggestions.

This are my settings. I settled for 2xMSAA as disabling it, makes it too jaggy & that the F-15's HUD becomes harder to read... == I can enable 4xMSAA w/ more or less smooth fps most of the time, ..provided the cloud cover is 3/8 or less and not flying over major cities. Anyways thanks all again for the replies/answers/suggestions Sorry again if I may ask, If I aim for an i7 or i9 cpu with a suitable GPU for it, I'd need to change my power supply right? I have a 550w corsair psu. and that the higher spec a PC is, the more power it consumes and higher electric bills? and my B460m board is for the intel series right? if i want to shift to Ryzen CPU, I'd need a new compatible board for it?

I see.. that's essentially buying a new computer all together. Not an option for me right now since i just bought my current rig last january ^^ Anyways thanks

My current specs are: i3 10100 B460m pro 32gb DDR4 512gb SSD NVMe M.2 GTX1650 What do i need to upgrade to get at least 60fps with vsync or 100+ fps if i want to up my anti-aliasing to 4x? ..in non-vr, single player offline situations only.. I was kinda thinking of getting a better GPU, but not sure if that would do it^^; Thanks^

Yes indeed.. add the fact that my stick has some input spikes now (had a deadzone pitch & roll set to 4) I assume I can't do refueling in the air though i never attempted it anyways.. For landings i just use AoA values for the Eagle. Sometimes I land without even knowing what my approach speed was.

Thanks again for the replies. ^^ I'm kinda inclined to get the Viper, although i guess im more familiar with Hornet's systems because of Jane's F-18.. I did play with F4 allied force, but only for 70 hours total.. ..so little time compared to the years i had with the Hornet. ..still deciding what to buy if ever^^

Would it be hard for me to fly any of the Full module jets like the Viper or Hornet using a single T16000m? Although ive been a longtime FC Eagle user, it doesnt seem like i would need a HOTAS system or so to employ the F-15. The last high fidelity sim i played was Jane's F/A-18 some 10+ years ago.. ..played it with an ST290 and it seemed fine back then. I'm assuming there's even more functions the needs lots of buttons or binds now? The reason i couldnt buy a hotas version of the t16000m at least, is table space.. i could buy a better table but, id prefer to have an ergonomic HOTAS mount first..

I have SSAA off I took all of your advices and adjusted the settings. I had MSAA to 2x and Vsync on in the Nvidia panel, since there's some light tearing. My fps also doesn't feel smooth when the frames are going up and down from 70 to 100+. My monitor is an older Philips model too so yeah. The frames seems ok enough when clouds are in density 8. Thanks again^

Thanks all^^ Though i have a b460m board. So i guess, i can only have the intel cpus for upgrade. I do plan to upgrade my gpu and processor too.. Maybe when i get lots of bonuses in my rank and file job ^^

I tried setting the MSAA down to 2x & OFF. Turning off MSAA seems to yield the biggest improvement. Though I'll just compromise on 2x MSAA.. I just couldn't stand the jagginess without MSAA. Even in 1.5.6 DCS, i had MSAA. It also makes the F-15 HUD harder to read too. I was planning to buy Syria Map once it's out of beta. I guess i shouldn't bother with my current Rig... For reference, will the 1660 super be good since I only have an i3 10100? or should i get 3060 or it's AMD equivalent.. or do i have to buy a more powerful processor and gpu all together. ..can't do that right now though.. i'm kinda broke. Eitherway.. this hobby seems to have been always expensive.. Maybe once DCS upgrades to another major build evolution.. say 3.0, I'll be out of the loop again and stay with the depreciated version for a year or two.. lmao guess i should just quit and just move on to weeb mobages or something..

I see.. i just had a gut feeling my pc just being a potato after all. Guess the best thing i could do is to adjust my settings and hopefully get better fps. While we're at it, What processor & gpu should i get to get smoother frames? or at least constant 60fps when vsync on. For single player & non-vr scenarios only. I don't plan to play multiplayer or VR so yeah.. I guess i could save up for an upgrade after a year or two.. My board is a potato MSI b460m pro vdh wifi with 550 watt psu gold rated.. I prefer CPU & GPU combos that are compatible with that. These are my current settings:

I just upgraded to 2.5 a month ago and recently upgraded my RAM from 16 to 32GB DDR4.. in hopes to increase my FPS but so far, its seems no different to the time I had a 16gb I have vsync on to cap fps to 60. My fps used to dip at 30 when around Dubai or when the cloud cover is @ 8 density when in the Caucasus map back then. After upgrading to 32gb memory, i still get the same fps. I prolly have a potato rig though: i3-10100 GTX 1650 DCS installed in Samsung SATA M.2 500GB SSD with windows 10 64 bit To increase my fps, perhaps I need to upgrade my card or even processor as well? Although that's something I can't do within the year, as i just bought this Rig last month. ^^;

I kinda asked some Shops here selling computer parts.. So with that kind of setup.. 2500 US dollars is the estimated cost? 130,000+ pesos in our country.. i find it... ridiculous. I might as well forget DCS all together and find a new hobby..

Thanks a lot again ^^
