1. Lights would be a nice option - best to be controlled by ME or a driving player, because some vehicles don't use lights to keep them hidden in the dark or use special faint low level lights when moving. Some vehicles do use lights at night in DCS. Check LAV Tigr and M92 assets. Braking lights is a detail I didn't check. 2. DM of ground assets is very simple and there are some far future plans to improve it. Some small steps are being made though with newer assets. 3. I think it's done for the game purpose of triggering the kill faster. Since the DM is simple it'd have to be randomized. 4. Reaction to threat is controllable in ME and the vehicles go back on track after a while. Can't remember if you can set the time they get back on track. The ground vehicles crew is not simulated at all. After losing enough % of HP the unit starts smoking, drives slower, then stop and eventually stop firing too (can't remember which of the last two happens first) before the final kill and exploding. You're expecting too much from a flight simulator. Some of it would require a lot of work and additional computing power during gameplay. It's a good wish though to have more realistic AI, ground vehicles behavior and damage models

Tomcat and Strike Eagle

Thanks! Now it's slowly becoming one of the best maps. Let's see how the South part goes and what great scenarios campaign creators make.

That's the job of IC to check for modded files and lock them out of pure servers.

Just count seconds for every 360

There are different people and some also have the same dream to fly. If there is no more money, there is simply no more money or they don't want to spent more. So there's no use to comments like "none, buy better card". Not all have to run 4K at 120Hz and there are graphic options for a reason. I'd take faster card over more VRAM any day.

Are you sure that it's STT mode specifically on 2 targets? MP test? Track?

Updates are optional unless you play public MP. It's not DCS fault you have slow, choking connection. No auto-resume but no data downloaded is lost - just run updater again and it resumes the download. Yes, you can play during DCS update - the unpacking will fail if the download ended and unpacking has started during your play - you'll have to run updater again and it's fixed. No, absolutely not every game allows you that - ever seen grey "play" button, waiting for it to get green again? We buy drives for our software to read and write data on it - nothing more, nothing less. If it's used that means it works as designed. No, it does not. You need a few DLC maps to reach 400. This is a free game we're talking about. No one forces you to buy anything. But if you do, then yes, it's a big game, especially if you want multiple maps. Quality comes with more data - more data means more storage. Welcome to reality. Disks are growing with us. If you have multiple drives you can use symlinks to share data between them. DCS doesn't have to stay on one drive. Display resolution has nothing to do with textures resolution. And even 4K texture on low res display can look crappy when the object is close enough to the view point. Do you even understand this? Again, no one forces you to buy anything. If you can't afford it or don't need 4k at 120Hz just cut graphic options down and play on older hardware. Simmers go for high end hw to get top notch quality experience - not just to run the game on 22" FullHD at 30fps. Yes, it helps a lot and it's good but you don't need most of it to play - it's all optional. Please, speak for yourself. I see most of your points as lies and misconceptions. Do you even play DCS or just write rants on the forum?

Yes, please, this is a major thing missing in most DCS aircraft

Not to mention X-101 is twice the size of the Harpoon.

No. Explained in OP:

It's not a good reason to stop sim development. There are multiple examples even from FC level aircraft: MiG-29 can't extend speedbrakes with center bag (real limitation) or F-15C engines flame out after 10s of inverted flight (real limitation) and yes, there were multiple reports on this, yet the devs didn't remove the features because it's not about players' convenience or bug report readers. It's about simulation.

https://vr-compare.com/compare?h1=0q3goALzg&h2=HdfjN_0UlPY With small sweet spot you're forced to look around with your head to see clearly. When the sweet spot is large you can freely look around with your eyes and still see clear image.

It says 2.9.13 or above (higher).

Others say the res is similar but they love Q3's fov and large sweet spot.

You bet, that's the whole point

I have Q3 but have not used Q3S. It's not only the res difference though. https://www.roadtovr.com/quest-3s-quest-3-quest-2-specs-compared/ It's also pancake lenses and 2 separate LCDs that gives you more clarity, bigger "sweet spot" and fov. The question was about jetseat or similar hardware. btw: I miss Rift S days when I just run DCS, put on the headset and it works. Now I have to juggle 1 minute before I can run DCS: turn on the headset, wait, grab the controller, enable link, wait, select desktop view, run DCS.

Check this out:

Feel free to provide the devs with the guidance details. It will improve the simulation for sure. Otherwise it ends with "Probably" and "I don't think".

It's not the users who deal with the bug reports. I don't get why would you care about it. If anything it gives devs a chance to brag about how realistic the simulation is!

Fair enough if that's the goal. I'm interested in what missions F-14 can get.

Quite a feat you've done there but I feel too much has been left for the player. I prefer to be a pilot, not a Strike Group Commander, and just get a mission to fly. Would be great to have that option.

Please, don't turn it into yet another "Why no FF redfor?". You seem to know the reasons and the answers are still the same. "Pretty well known" and leaked docs are not gonna cut it for FF module and modeling any modern russian aircraft can endanger ED employees located there.

This is WIP and was mentioned in update notes.
