Raven King

I have a question: is it possible to employ the AGM-88 without the TPOD, like you would do with a Shrike? What are the limitations in this mode?

As a matter of fact, what we know as a "Cobra" is no more than the extreme version of a Controlled Stall. That means virtually any airplane with sufficient nose authority and engine power can in fact execute the maneuver, including the Fishbed. We will never know for sure "who did it first" because as far back as WWII, pilots used stalls to decelerate abruptly and make an opponent overshoot. Technically, "Cobrettes". It is called "Pugachev's Cobra" because Viktor Pugachev performed it at Le Bourget in 1989. The first time Soviet fighters were allowed to participate. The occasion was so memorable that the name stucked. The first Soviet pilot to do cobras was Cosmonaut Igor Volk.

I know it`s a bit late, but were you able to find the dimensions? Trying to build a replica too.

There I have a question: I do have three accounts for which I buy modules. Account 1 is the one I use regularly. Account 2 I have as backup, to train my gf (LOL!) and take friends on a VR joyride. Account 3 is for my private DCS server. Now, I have a salad with FC3 mods. I have FC3 on Account 1, and just upgraded to FC3+ (F-5, F-86 and Mig-15) but back then I also bought additional A-10A, F-15C, Su-25, Su-27, Su-33, and Mig-29s that obviously I already had and didn't need. I was simply logged in the wrong account at the time of purchase. I know, I know: Bruh...! I would like to transfer those surplus modules from Account 1 to Account 2. How can I proceed? Thanks in advance.

Thanks Alpen. Got the adresses. Is just that I though after the long pause maybe the IP had changed. See you there soon!

Hi Dawger! Thanks for the info!

Hi Alpenwolf. Is the server's IP Adress the same i.e. 38.77.25.175:3390 ? I've been trying to find it with no luck.

That is true, SharpeXB, I had to buy and install and additional 2TB SSD on my computer because in order to have options I need to record the whole of every flight first in-cockpit VR, then in-cockpit fixed view, then in-cockpit zoomed on HUD, then in-cockpit zoom Radar, RWR, and so on... And that is before external "Hero Cam" shots around the fuselage, fly-by views, TrackIR views, kill views etc. Then load all that into the video editor, synchronize them, cut, match, pan, add sounds, titles, cues, effects, record voice... I just started with a YT channel and I'd really appreciate a reliable replay system. This is a test video. Because of a glitch I collide with a chopper mid-flight during the replay although it didn't happen during the actual flight. Therefore I had to improvise. Happy to read your thoughts about it.

Hello Big Newy, I understand that repairing the Track Replay System isn't a priority, and I respect your criteria. But I'd like to make the argument that it should be high on the to do list. Why? Because of content creators. A better TRS would allow us to make better videos and take advantage of unique combat events for cinematics and tutorials. That is basically free publicity for DCS. From this point of view, that fix would be cost-effective for you to put it mildly. I just started a modest YT channel in the hope of seeing it grow. Today, I had a very succesful sortie at GS's Server and wanted to share it with tips, analysis and an explanation of why the Su-27 Flanker is the to-go model in DCS for beginners. But the track crashed... : ( To make it more frustrating, the previous track, with nothing special to show loaded perfectly -_- I am focused on quality above quantity when it comes to create content. That implies I invest an inordinate ammount of time and effort learning, flying, planning, researching recording and editing in order to offer my future viewers the best I can. Losing good material to a bug is more detrimental than what one would think at first glance. Please, take this up to ED and maybe you can help move this issue one or two notches up in the list. Every impressed viewer is a potential future virtual pilot. If I worked in ED I would take War Thunder as a serious competitor and Falcon BMS as a very serious threat. Content creators are key in this matter. My best regards and good wishes. RK

Thank you soooo much!! :3

Sorry it didn't work. Maybe I got the wrong impression through a series of coincidences. I am trying to replay tracks from Growling Sidewinder's server and now they are crashing too, so I think you're right. It is a pitty, because so many content creators making videos out of those tracks are pretty much free publicity for DCS World as a whole. Hope the guys in ED fix it sooner than later. Best regards! Cheers!

I found out by mere chance that my tracks get "corrupted" if, during the flying session in MP I respawned. So what I do now is to leave the server everytime I land, crash my plane or get shot down. Then I re-enter the server and spawn again. In that way, each flight will be recorded on its own .trk file and won't crash by replay. I lose any points I may have made in the rooster, but it doesn't matter. I hope it helps.

Guys, I found out (by coincidence) that, only the tracks in which I have respawned after landing, crashing the airplane or getting shot down have this problem. Don't respawn. If you get shot down or land at the base, leave the server and re-enter. The new flight will be recorded on a separate file and neither track will crash on replay. You loose your points in the rooster, but is a small price to pay for good content. It works for me. Hope it helps.

Actually, there's 3 possibilities. The Mig-29A and Su-27B used the NVU-2M. Later versions of both aircraft use the Shchel-3UM. I think the third one is a ukrainian version of the Shchel, called the SURA-K, but I'm not sure about this one. It would be nice to have them moded them, and with a more realistic cue.

Just throwing a pitch: I'd like to see a Community Made F-20 Tigershark, made on a "what if" hypothetical basis. The team could call itself "Phoenix Mods" and work exclusively resurrecting rejected designs, like the American Grumman F-11 Tiger, the British TSR-2, the Russian Yak-141 or the Canadian Avro CF-105 Arrow. Lots of material arround! In the case of the Tigershark, accurate data is technically available, and since the real project was cancelled, there should be no "security concerns". It had the same radar as the F-16A, could carry more missiles (even a couple Sparrows) than the F-5E, evening the odds against, say, Mirage F-1s, and the thrust-to-weight ratio would really let it go toe-to-toe with the Mig-21bis. Well, just saying.

I don't know about the guidelines, but the livery is superb! Gooooood Job!! Personally, I don't see any reason why you would get in trouble for doing ED extra publicity, given the fact that nobody needs to ask permission to post DCS World tutorials in Youtube, for example. But try to contact Matt "Waggs" Wagner and ask him directly. He should be somewhere here in this forum. Good luck and keep up the good work!

Giullep, A otros sí que nos interesa el avión. Lo que no nos interesa es lo que usted piense. El mundo no gira en torno suyo. Trate de no ser un Stronzo de alta categoría y le garantizo que le va a ir mejor en la vida. Now, about the J-8, good choice Dekka Ironworks: it will fit very well in Mid to Late-Cold War servers either as J-8 Finback itself, or as a Su-15 Flagon-proxy. Besides, we have a lot of western mods coming down the pipeline already and Redfor needs a little bit of love too!

Thank you very much, Sedlo! Excellent contribution! The chopper pilots in my server will be delighted to have a TACAN to go back to a very well hidden FARP!

Nobody?

Oh! I see. My apologies.

Hi, everybody! I am developing a tiny server, low on numbers, high on tactics. In this server, all ground units on both sides are to be "invisible" and only discoverable by either Cockpit Visual Recon mode or by entering specific moving zones centered on either an enemy "RC-101EB Reconjet", an enemy "RL-39C Recon Albatross" or enemy infantry. In order to achieve that, I set up all ground vehicles as "Invisible on" with pushable tasks ("Invisible on / invisible off"). The problem is that I am using CTLD and I need the infantry that will be carried by helicopters to have those "invisibility characteristics" from the moment it spawns, and also that it can get assigned a pre-created "infantry detection threshold" moving zone, for it to discover and engage enemy tanks and other infantry as soon as they get into a certain distance, say... 300 meters. Those options don´t exist in CTLD, as far as I know. Furthermore, I want no crates, no transportable vehicles and no SAMs (Buk and Hawk) deployed by the choppers. I just don´t have the skills to to that. Somebody pleeeease help me!! I attached the CTLD file for a Good Samaritan to modify it and I would be eternally grateful for the assistance! My best regards, Phoenix CTLD.lua

If you mean the problem with ground units mobility, nope. Not fixed yet. You can check it on my server: Sagas of the Raven Kings. 78.48.154.121:10308
