  1. Because head-on high-alt high-speed is not the only possible use scenario.
  2. Yes, add to that NVGs and other more modern aircraft sensors or data link.
  3. Run "cmd" as admin. Run "ipconfig/flushdns". That's a so called "DNS refresh". If you have ever edited the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file, please remove any lines pointing to "digitalcombatsimulator.com" or "forum.dcs.world". The file needs admin rights too. Restart the PC and try again. "ipconfig/all" command can show you currently used DNS servers. Look for the network adapter you're using currently as there can be several. You can try to set your network adapter to use some known good DNS like from Google, DNS IP address: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. If you still can not login contact support: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/support/
  4. Many probably expect current DCS terrain quality level on a global map. That's not possible. What a whole Earth map gives us though is a possibility to create missions on a bigger scale without local map constraints. Probably not a rotor head dream.
  5. So please tell me what SA assets I'm missing in vanilla DCS?
  6. What's your point? I don't own SA map and I'm not missing any assets because they are in DCS core, no matter what folder they are in.
  7. Please share a solution. It may help others.
  8. I doubt anything will be tied to the module ownership. SA assets are free for all in DCS core.
  9. Link?
  10. Answer and discussion is here:
  11. We already have it on 3 maps... partially.
  12. I noticed that some clouds (or sometimes) are refreshed at like half fps (which would explain the lag in movement) while the rest of the image is normally refreshed in full fps. Same with clouds resolution. I'm afraid these solutions may be deliberate for performance reasons but we have no control over it. Only devs can tell.
  13. DCS options > misc - make sure the external views are checked.
  14. Some may be changed but it's a very rare case. Afaik modern USAF/USN pilots don't ask for eninge start either Agree with @_Hoss - missions should have these freqs preconfigured properly.
  15. Check if you have external views enabled, either globally or in the mission you try.
  16. You can only select "nothing" as the clouds preset but it'll still show some cirrus in a 6 minutes cycle and it's independent of the map. Is this reported @Flappie?
  17. Neither this mission nor the first one are really hard compared to some later ones. Repeating the same mission 20 times is no fun especially when you have to fly over 30 minutes before the action starts. To save you lots of frustration and wasted time on flying the mission again and again and again I suggest to put off the campaign for now and practice your BVR skills first until you're comfortable and constistently capable of destroying waves of enemy fighters. Thank me later.
  18. For rail camera use Lctrl+F11.
  19. We need a track file or mission, otherwise it's guessing.
  20. It's not fair you can bump multiple times but I can give 1 star only once.
  21. What are you talking about? Most missions I played in SP don't involve that much aircraft in total. "Just" 12 human players online in one mission can be really engaging providing they play their roles instead of goofing around. @ALFA-62 Making everything free and dumb down can bring more players in but will also kill DCS financially, lower its simulation quality and make it different game out of it which none of us want to happen. If you want more relaxed gameplay there are already other titles for that.
  22. No, if they are in the DLC campaign files, they will work and be loaded in the mission that use them. No need to install it manually unless they are optional and uploaded separately.
  23. My own usage is medium - I play almost exclusively SP and use missions that come with modules or play DLC campaigns but I also play free user made missions and campaigns - some of them are real gems, top notch quality productions. This is totally managable and still fun to use only built-in content or DLC for most beginners if you want to fly popular modules in SP. Might be a different story for less popular ones or MP. This goes a bit deeper under DCS skin though. Ex. some HB missions use CTLD and MIST scripts or some paid DLC campaigns use user made skins. Also some user made mods are getting into DCS core recently. This shows there is no hard line between pure DCS and community made content any more. Having said that I stay away from mods and 3rd party apps as much as possible.
