  1. Sounds like a no brainer for the Hook and other haulers but also as an aircraft walkaround before the flight.
  2. This comes up from time to time in the wishlist: https://forum.dcs.world/forum/207-dcs-core-wish-list/
  3. This is unrelated and already reported:
  4. Yes, "Resolution of cockpit displays" works also for mirrors. There are 256, 512 and 1024 options to select and some have also "every frame" version, which means the displays are either refreshed with full fps or half (or 15fps, not sure). Mind that you have to restart DCS for this change to apply.
  5. @BIGNEWY @NineLine Can you help? And same case here:
  6. That's on the kneeboard/mission creator. I support the wish Check also this suggestion:
  7. Yeah, by all means, rethink what DCS is for you, because "I want it all! I want it now!" won't get you anywhere, neither here or in real life. Would you still fly DCS in current version if the development halts suddenly? If you don't like it now there's little chance you will in the future. It's nice to get features and fixes from time to time but constantly waiting for it to come (or not) is not productive and will only frustrate. This game is made for entertainment. Fly more, less forum rant People rarely come to forums to tell how great it was to fly DCS but still they do sometimes. Most come to discuss, report a bug or look for a resolution to a problem. That's understandable - not an issue and certainly not a "doom". @SloppyDog You're comparing old times full release with current early access releases. Of course C-130 and MiG-29 will be released with bugs and unfinished features - early access is not for everyone. It's either that or a few years more for every module which in turn kills ED's and 3rd party's business. @Blackhawk NC @Tom P Even russians didn't have any better "redfor" aircraft until late 2000s. Find a more realisticly set MP server or fly with similar minded people on close servers, find a squad that you fit in. Public PvP MP is neither realistic nor fun.
  8. You've mistaken it for the ground speed. Please correct, otherwise you're spreading misinformation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_airspeed Ex. you can CFIT directly into the ground with 1000T but with 0 ground speed.
  9. As suggested in 1st reply - rename your /Saved Games/DCS.openbeta to ex. /DCS.old and test again. It takes 5 minutes. All problems (avionics, background image, controls) are logged in dcs.log as the module files failed to load. Maybe because of the A-4 mod - you're about to test with the method above. Maybe there's a disk failure or an AV messing with your module files - so check that also.
  10. For COs - I meant Cycling Ops. CQ - Carrier Quals (qualifications). Squadron altitude is the stack alt established for your squad before the flight.
  11. Check p. 63-64 of SC manual. Basically the game won't tell you pattern altitude. I use radar/DL to check the picture of the stack (that's what you call port holding pattern) and just place myself 1k ft over the highest one but it's very rare in SP to even have someone before you when you get charlie as soon as you get within 3nm. Just good airmanship required. IRL it depends wether it is CQ or COs. For CQ you take whatever Boss/Tower will order. For COs you'll use squadron altitude.
  12. The pilot would still use TID for that.
  13. They'd probably mention such a thing in one of the answers: https://flyandwire.com/2025/09/04/mig-29s-spo-15-rwr-qa-with-eagle-dynamics/
  14. What more important thing a pilot during BVR interception would have than watching TID?
  15. If you want to perform true CC where you go straight to the cat after traping you can disable the deck directors in SC special options or just use CVN-74.
  16. In the mission planner, before starting the mission, you can see your starting position and where it is located on the airbase. When you contact ATC they'll tell you active RWY number so you know which way to go (ex. RWY 09 means you should taxi opposite direction 270 to the end and take off heading 90). In the kneeboard you can find and reference the airbase chart for taxiing around.
  17. If you mean save during the mission then no, it's not possible. Campaign progress is only saved after you quit the mission after successfully completing it and click "End mission" in the debriefing, so the next time you run the campaign, you start with the next mission.
  18. I support I'd be great to also made NVGs fixed fov, which is dependent on the device. Last time I checked you could zoom in/out and the NVG circle stayed fixed relative to the screen.
  19. You want to spoil that one for me too?
  20. OK, finally got it. @Bowie was indeed onto something In my previous test I didn't use wind and the carrier did not move - logically, to test just the cat shot speed. It didn't show anything unusual. All cats same speed. But after taking another shot (sic!) with Bowie's settings: carrier speed 18kts into the 15kts wind I was able to confirm the bug on unmodded DCS. @Silhou Please check the tracks. Cat #3 on CV-59 is indeed slower about 10kts in these conditions - it makes fully loaded S-3B tanker or F-14A AI sink just a bit - but they can manage fine. CV-59 cat#3 F-14A.miz CV-59 cat#3 S-3B tanker.trk
  21. None of these tracks work because they all require A-4 mod. Not yet a success.
  22. Just checked. This command is simply not available for other devices than mouse. You can see different shade of the input fields.
  23. All is based on either manual or some other RL info but sounds to me like this RWR is too "nerfed" for the OP. I suggest to wait and test before judging.
  24. Are you accusing ED of some bias? Or you're afraid of too much realism?
