So can I get a clarification here because this is the way I see it as of the current juncture: any aircraft mod that relies on an ED aircraft as a base or otherwise uses an ED/Official asset's files in some way is dead in the water currently because of ED implementing a measure to check for modified files in the coremods?

How does this explain for the campaign of encrypting more and more files each update?? Seems to be a way of locking down the possibility of modding at all. I know this has been a fear talked about in a few modding communities that if your mod is in any way based of an ED asset, eventually it will just go broken when ED encrypts the files it relies on and that will be that. So essentially what you are saying is for anyone with a "broken" mod that can't manage to work around this or get their mod repaired is SOL and stuck on older versions?? in this case it doesn't seem like a file was just altered and the problem lies in locating and fixing the altered file... it sounds like DCS is actually scanning for any modified files and nixing them, which is essentially a "lockout" on modding. I am not a developer, so this is just how I understand it. Maybe someone with more dev knowledge can inform me better.

when was the last update just so i know i got that?

Hey Paul, check out this steps: Go start and type services, hit enter Search for "touch keyboard and handwriting" service or something similar make sure it is set to start automatic with windows and restart your PC this fixed the issue for me. :)

I can't fix this bloody error and the only language I've got on my PC is good old ENGLISH!!!!!!!!!! All possible language settings are set to american english now and it still things its not a valid configuration for windows speech... if I can't train this app, I can't use it! Edit: make sure you have the touch keyboard & handwriting service enabled in windows services for this to work!! Some power users may disable this and that was my problem...

A C130 would be really really cool. :)

So this module will debut with a demo tomorrow at VFAT? Looking forward to it.

I am not the server owner, you can speak to someone at the 107th server that would be able to provide that, or someone from hoggit discord... try Mr_Superjaffa#5430 or pops#1890

IMAGE LINK ----> not the server owner, but multiple servers are seeing this issue after the latest patch and its killing the MP experience. can we get an immediate hotfix?? it is related to a player joining during a SAM launch... this has been killing the server all day on BlueFlag, GAW, TTI, etc etc. Basically any large server with weapons that have trajectory changes, and where people are coming and going a lot has the risk of this bug occurring. A hotfix is immediately required for multiplayer play on combat servers.

This needs to be addressed.. I can't believe huge servers like TTI have 2 hours of night time at every reset, no one can see a damn thing... but of course if you complain about this some blowhard tells you "Learn to use ILS, welcome to Winter, its dark... blah blah blah" with regards to night lighting, all I want is a DCS megafan to admit that its not the perfect lighting solution, rather than hot air excuse of "well thats night time, trust me, night is dark!" case in point, sit in dark plane, turn on flashlight, point it at mountains 10km away, somehow mountains light up? or at least somehow the landscape seen through that light through canopy is brighter Step outside IRL. if you live near a major airport, you will see planes in the night sky, you can see blinking airliners going over 30k feet. step into DCS and you can't see any blinking lights on any plane, let alone the insanely bright nav and taxi lights that you would see IRL, that are blinding even in real life. The snowbirds come flying at you with lights on in broad daylight, and the first thing you see is the lights, before anything else! and what is upsetting, apparently its going to get worse before it gets better seeing as updates like to break lighting on stuff like black shark, huey, and things generally seemed to get darker over time in DCS for whatever reason - see some of the missions made for dark are almost unplayable according to some (SU25 difficult landing mission) since Chizh confirmed, that new night lighting tech will be in new maps only, as it requires significant changes to the maps. Some planes are straight up not useful for night ops because they have no way of getting around the darkness, such as F5-E. :(

Using legacy reprojection unlocked like 45 frames / second for me on IL2 sturmovik. Without Legacy repro, I was capped at 45 fps, but it was generally smooth. When I turned on Legacy Repro, I was able to unlock up to 90 FPS, but made it super juttery when i turned too fast which was basically unplayable. havent tried it on DCS, I would imagine it is similar? Could this be related to updated throttling logic from steamvr 1.7? how have you experienced legacy reprojection in SteamVR with DCS, and what headsets are you using? The non-lighthouse HMDs seem to sidestep Valve compositor, so might avoid any issues with the reprojection messing with their frames. I'd like to hear from all users about this.

Does anyone have any experience and can detail the respringing process for this joystick, and what spring they used, and their results? The stick is very stiff around the center, theres is a good "dead zone" of force where I am applying increasing force but the stick doesn't move, finally it will "snap" out of the detent causing a big jerk in the stick, obviously not good for holding a formation, or flying helicopter.

Why is it that if I want to have a free look around a map to check out my mission edit, I have to spawn in a module and fly around? Why is there no "free camera" that I can just fly around using keyboard and mouse controls to inspect the map? Ctrl + F11 is not what I am asking for. This would improve map/mission editing/filming immensely!!

Multi-crew still planned?? It would be really badass.. probably the best VR flight co-op thing I can imagine... flying with a buddy and gunning in the Huey.

Bump, still looking

Still looking

I am looking for a set of rudder pedals second hand. I am on a budget so I really don't want to pay more than about 150$ Canadian for something second hand, depending on the product. If not, I'll probably end up buying a pair of CH rudders on amazon this coming prime day. If you are in Canada and have spare rudder pedals you are willing to sell to me, post here and let me know! I am located in southwestern Ontario

Ok, using the one in post #804 seems to work, at least for instant action on P51. Well, I'm still loading, but it hasn't given me the shader error.

I am getting the same error as Terminator lips. I am using OVGME to apply, so its not a reinstall issue.

Yes for 20 USD I think this plane is great. The tutorials are few but comprehensive enough as there is not any weapon system on the plane. I like the authenticity of the Russian guy telling you how to fly and taxi :D It flies really nice too and as some others have said I really enjoy flying this plane in VR. I don't have the other trainers but I used to fly my P51 a lot just cruising and doing VFR flying, so this was a good pickup. I think my next grab will be another prop plane or jet trainer. Maybe even CEII, since this module changed my opinion on aerobatic planes. Can't wait to see what else we might get in terms of diverse modules for DCS. Would love to see a DC3 :D However, if you require constant updates, damage model, etc... maybe not your plane right now. But I think for 20USD its a solid investment for ED module.

Yep, will work for all aircraft, just the glass shader improvement will not be present for those modules that don't use the glass shader :) Enjoy

Didn't do any extensive testing with FPS or anything, but seems like this has given me at least a slight performance boost. I like that I don't have to render as much on my display with the mod limiting the FOV to what the headset sees. I'm sure this helps. Thank you.

Gahhhh I just picked up a 1070 for $350 CAD the other week. If only I would have waited! Good luck on the sale!

PM sent. If I can get them for somewhere in the 150-200 Canadian$ range, that'd be superb. There are some options for rudders in that range available on Amazon with free shipping, but they are your typical Saitek/Thrustmaster offerings and if I can get something a bit more rugged, maybe I can afford these. Do you have any help with explaining how toe breaking works with these? Its a bit confusing looking up the info without the software and pedals in front of me.

i'd presume it would be due to rendering your MFCD's multiple times rather than only once
