It seems I can make tighter turns when I disable the automatic flight control. I switch the flight control buttons from Auto to EFCS and R/Y Aug to off. Is this realistic to be able to turn better like this? Also I am wondering if there is another way to override the g-limiter? And I think the damage due to g-load is not fully modelled yet, because I could pull 10g and nothing happened to the plane. :music_whistling: So maybe when this is fully modelled it is not such a good idea anymore to switch FCS to manual mode. But still it would be interesting to know if the real JF-17 pilots would do this in a dogfight.

I was searching the pocket guide for the engine specifications but I could not find it. Which engine uses the Harrier in DCS? Is it the e F402--RR--408B or an earlier version? I am asking this, because I wanted to calculate the range with the natops performance charts. Thank you for any help in advance :smilewink:

I think thats a bug, not a feature. For me its impossible to close the jester menu during track replay and all I see is the RIO during the whole track :pilotfly:

Hey guys, I can not complete the first mission of the Viggen Red Flag Campaign. Before it was working but recently the 4 F15s get stuck during taxi and won't move anymore. Then, no plane can land anymore at Nellis and I can not complete the mission goals. I tried to edit it in the editor but Im not able to save it into the campaign. Has anybody the same problems?

I have this problem too. I think it is some kind of bug. Because at first all was working fine and I could change external views during a replay. But now it does not work anymore, I tried it with a replay from the carrier quick start mission of the F/A-18, which worked before for me. Or is there some keyboard shortcut to allow external views again?

The xbox one controller works perfect! It has 2 small joysticks which each provide 2 additional axis in dcs. :)

Thanks a lot for all your answers! They were really helpful. Now I went for a system with the GTX 1070. I can't wait to fly with it :)

Hi, I plan to buy a new PC. As I dont want to buy a new monitor I will only use a resolution of 1920 x 1080. Which Nvidia will give a good framerate in this resolution? I want to be far over 30 fps even in crowded places like Las Vegas. For the CPU I think about something not too expensive around 4 GHz. How important is 8Gb Video RAM? Is it really necessary? Thanks for suggestions!

For me DCS crashed today every time I started to use the new radar in the Nevada map. Anybody else experienced this with the new update? But maybe its just me, I dont have the latest hardware and run dcs on medium details with only about 30 fps.

Hey, since one of the last updates I could not turn off deferred shading anymore. But I have a slow pc and for me it is really important to disable it. How can I disable it still, is it possible somehow? :huh:

Does it work? I noticed the option is missing in game since the update. And now I have really bad fps, so I need to disable deferred shading too.

Hey, I wanted to use landing ships to bring troops and tanks to the normandy beach. Unfortunatley my ships stop half a mile before the coast. Is it possible to do a real beach landing where the boats can reach the beach?

Is it possible to lock onto moving targets? Somehow I couldn't get a lock here. Maybe this is not working in early access yet? In the manual is said that the ARBS is not able to lock on moving targets yet. But for the maverick sensor that was not written.

For me it looks exactly like in the screenshots above. I had this so far in all versions with the Nevada map. Now also with the latest DCS 2.2.0.12448

I have broken kneeboard maps in the Viggen in the Nevada map since the Viggen release. Is it just me and is there a way to fix this?

Hey, I am wondering why the missile sound is like this in DCS. When I watch a launched missile from the F6 view I do not hear a continous sound from the missile motor but I have sound which goes quickly on and off. It was always like this in DCS for me but I am wondering which is the physical explanation for this? Is this some kind of supersonic effect? Or is it a bug? Do you all hear such an on and off sound for the missile motor?

Thank you! I noticed I had an older version of the pocket guide with some infos missing.

Hey, could somebody explain how to use the external jammer pod? Does it work with the ECM switch? What do the switch positions RCV and RP mean? Because I have the problem that I always got shoot down in SEAD missions :doh:

Hey, I just noticed there is a new update for the beta and now there is no framerate drop in cockpit view anymore. This fix was really fast! Thanks a lot Razbam!!!

Thanks a lot for the detailed answer!

Hey, could somebody explain how to setup the AWLS system please? I do not know to enter the right channel number. I figured out that the channels are listest in the file AN_ARN128_config.lua. So I tried to use channel 5 for Batumi airport but somehow the AWLS does not work with this. I think it gets automatically the TACAN channel when I enter the AWLS, but I dont get any ILS indicators.
