draconus

It's only possible to not use it. There are 2 internal positions simulated: driver and gunner sight. The top machine gun position with open hatch is also realistic.

Looks like normal ground textures, not intended to represent shadows.

They usually release it without warning.

As you can see - not yet, no news.

My vote for fixing the lighting and removing overlays. Kneeboard place is on the knee, not overlay screen.

Show me.

Yeah and I base it on over 1 year of good experience.

No, 2.9.16.10973.1 is the current DCS version and was minor update mostly for the campaigns. Marianas WW2 map will come soon as separate module (optional free terrain) for download after one of the future DCS updates.

Yes, all you'll get are images, hopefully with coords. You can do what you want with it. Perhaps a trigger in the mission can react to the right image taken but you can't expect module to generate a new mission for you.

Why so sure? It still works and will work.

From OP:

No, it is going to be another free aircraft.

I was amazed to see very bright electrical lines, glinting in the sun IRL. Granted, it was not the case as in the OP. Also note they are exclusively 1 pixel thick in DCS and always black if not bugged otherwise. Not very realistic - the lines can either be very visible or almost invisible in some cases IRL.

Why would no one ask for it before? Or did they?

Afair RuAF jets don't feature any mechanism to prevent it. They rely on the pilot's sanity.

Can I download it somewhere so I can build my own hatred for it?

Thanks for the feedback and solution. This was actually supposed to be my next advice to try to redownload the modules but you nailed it

Try with clean profile (rename your saved games/dcs folder temporarily). Try to reconnect Steam licenses in DCS site profile. Run DCS full repair and clean. Make sure no AV (including Windows Defender) messes with DCS files and same for any firewall messing with your connection. Try also another connection - different network or VPN.

Have you contacted support already? https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/support/

That's probably modern PAD. https://www.twz.com/21081/the-usaf-has-quietly-added-large-multi-function-cockpit-displays-to-its-f-15c-fleet

It's of little or no use for debugging. Save a track. Both aileron on ground and tyre damage are simulated in DCS. But lateral stick movement was only advised by IronMike for fast rolls on runway, not because of crosswind, but rather lateral stick also moves stabilators in a differential way which causes yaw forces, just like rudders, at speed.

Isn't there 'select stations' in one of menu sections?

This is correct. 13900 has 8 P-cores and 16 E-cores. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/230497/intel-core-i913900kf-processor-36m-cache-up-to-5-80-ghz/specifications.html

You can hear them in DCS but only for AI aircraft.

Neither does the Tomcat unless you do crazy stuff no sane pilot would do IRL. Not one track was posted here but it's usually speeding with parking brake on.
