Raven (Elysian Angel)

I am well aware not everyone is a fan of Jester's banter, but I for one love it! He regularly brings a smile to my face, still! Jester brings life to the module in a way no other DCS AI copilot does

Sure, I can do that! I actually tried to prevent issues by making sure I passed the zebra marks before opening the throttles. But hey, at least Jester loved my landing ("almost as beautiful as Meg Ryan") so that's still half points!

Yes, due to heavy demand Ugra will make one after Phase 3, they said.

I just did a 100min flight around Kassel in an "OH-58A" (doors installed, no pylons, no MMS, no CMWS). There are some nitpicks and optimisation passes needed: - There is a TACAN station in the NW area of which the fence is partly on the road around it: it looks like it needs to be turned 10-15 degrees to the right to make it fit better; - There are a few areas where the performance tanks (heavy stutters and framerate drops by half); - There are bridge pylons that are placed ON the motorway. But flying around this area in the late evening brought tears to my eyes! This is one heck of a map!

IMO the primary consideration should be the maturity and configurability of the software, not necessarily the base itself. Choose wisely, my friend On topic: I'm using a VPForce Rhino.

Shame, since there is a lot of potential there...

Personally, I look at any DCS terrain as an "artists' impression", and judge it on its own merit. This prevents disappointment (in areas of realism at least), and allows for more enjoyment of what IS there. I am a very happy bunny: this purchase was well worth it! And as I stated in another thread, performance is indeed very good!

The changes to pitch trim damping are definitely an improvement. Now I need further testing to see if I need to make a new bespoke Rhino profile, as my "3rd gen fixed wing" profile has a fair bit of damping applied to it already. Time will tell if I need to simply get used it it again myself, or if a new profile will help... Jester yelled I was "out of my god darned mind" while taking off at Frankfurt And he yelled: "we lost cabin pressure!" while descending from a 37k MSL cruise over Germany (not an air start but a hot ramp start). I haven't heard that one before...

I saw a “DCS department store” (paraphrasing) with a large billboard at the parking lot showing various modules, and I saw Ugra oil barrels inside a hangar but thus far nothing immersion breaking as the “Normandy 1944” spam Syria used to have. It was all pretty subtle (as far a I’ve seen).

Neither can I: the lowest fps I saw was 35, while flying low over Berlin. Can it be improved? Sure, probably but it’s launch day and remember Marianas when it first released? South Atlantic? Or even Normandy 1944? Those were nauseating slideshows down low. Even Syria had bad performance for a good while. Ugra clearly did well on the optimisation front thus far

Yes I had to go through that as well: the last 4GB were at 0-16KB/s with some excursions up to 6MB/s. Sorry, sleep was more important

Let me fix that for you I just had a few helicopter flights on the new map, and let me just say that the various YT videos can't even prepare you for the experience of flying there in VR. This map raises the bar so high, Ugra needs binoculars to find the other terrain creators - miles below them Ugra Media clearly is the Heatblur of terrain developers! The detail down low is so ridiculous and yet the performance is really good - VRAM is of no concern. I will spend many hours in the next few days simply flying around there, while wiping the drool off of my chin...

There’s always a bigger fish My download slowed to a crawl

The map is so popular / highly anticipated it brought down ED's server! Well done, Ugra

Yes and the new crop harvesters

I beat you to it!

Yes I noticed:null

Error 502 - no saved authorisation found

Let's transmute the phrase "Deutschland über allen" in the context of DCS. "CW Germany": one map to rule them all!

Link 4A is only supposed to work with the E-2 Hawkeye, not with the E-3 Sentry. I don't know if that is actually modelled in DCS Could this perhaps be the reason?

Quite the opposite. The system was initially designed as a debugging feature apparently, and hasn't worked reliably in ages. Recently an effort was made to fix this, but ED themselves admit it didn't work and they basically need an entirely new system built from scratch...

Very understandable. I bought a 2TB NVMe drive last year hoping to be sorted for the next few years at least, but then reality happened: "2TB" is really 1.8TB of which Windows reserves 400GB, which leaves 1.4TB which is almost full already (still need to add CW Germany to that at the very least).
