Adding on this note: -Updated AI aircraft models. I have Random air traffic running on my server, with all of DCS's current AI models. Using those doesnt require the client to have a mod installed. Is a really nice feature. I know that ED is working on random air traffic themselves. Dont know till what extend. But most of the AI models are horrific to look at. We still have C-17 and B-52 with hexagon shaped engines! -"Cancel" button in the Coalition setup screen. Sometimes when you want to load a mission and accidentally click "new mission" instead of "load mission", the sim instantly shows you the coalition setup screen. In which you select the map and countries you want in your mission. However there is no way to cancel this selection and DCS obliges you to select all and continue loading everything in. -refueler "refuel at airbase" option, or something to make him repeat his task. Honestly, what would make it even easier for the users. If they could just dispatch an infinite amount of tankers from any airbase in their coalition. Maybe even telling them which area they are needed and it will do a pattern there. Having the refueler tell the flight their position, alt, speed, time on station. And giving a "heads up" when turning or RTB on bingo. I know the devs have a lot on their hands. But i hope all of these wishlist items are beeing looked at by them. Outside of my own topic i've read some great ideas! But rarely see a reaction from the dev's/ED.

As far as i know you still cant change coutries inside coalitions after you set them. It would also be nice if there was a "cancel" button in the Coalition setup screen.

Count me in! Could use a little better visibillity on the deck, aswell as spotting it from a further distance at night.

You might want to speed the tanker up a little too?

Most things are not a high priority thing imho, but would like to see this in DCS in the future. -cockpit lighting in external view (seeing your wingmen pit lit up). -wet external models when rain or snow. -improved raindrop effect (already nice but missing streaming water near window edges). -Improve things we see on our own plane like looking up, you will see your pilot look up for example in the Hornet. But when your wingman looks up, is not shown. -"undo" and "drag to select" option in ME (high priority actually). -KC135, Kc46,A330MRTT,A310MRTT or other high altitude basket refueler (Also high priority) Just some idea's.

I went from 16gb of ram @3000mhz to 32gb @3000mhz which made absolutely no difference. Still the same stutters as before.

If you go back a page and fully read my statement, you will see i already mentioned the "bda" to be bugged... My reason for bumping this is because i feel there is a need for another fix. Because i am unsure if the kc135bda is still beeing worked on. If you go to RAZBAMS forum section you will also see that topic has been pretty quiet for a while. At least on their side...

It shouldnt be hard for ED to revisit the current KC-135 and add these "WARPS" right? I think we are all hoping on a new big refueler capable of delivering large amounts of fuel at higher altitudes. I mean the KC-135bda is still bugged (not even sure if its beeing looked at atm). But for now we just have the S-3B and the KC-130. Which can only deliver small amounts of fuel at lower altitudes... Ok it CAN deliver large amounts, but its able to fully refuel 2 jets before its empty, it will then continue to land and you will need to spawn a new tanker. It would be cool to see a completely new refueler like the "KC-46" or "A330/310MRTT". But looking into the need for a Drogue refueler at higher altitudes, it looks easier to just add the Wing Air Refueling Pods to the KC-135. It would make life so much easier :)

Could use the Kc-135BDA on the server. So would like to hear some news regarding this aswell.

Requested multiple times. New weather system is a WIP.

Is there a way to set a trigger that applies only to the player or "self". Or a way to make it act this way? I would like some audio files and or messages to be shown/heard just for the player activating the trigger. Its for a multiplayer mission. If it does not exist yet, i would like to ask if this can be implemented. It would be a lot easier to do some stuff for MP missions.

Putting the command in, still doesnt work. I tried.

I bet all of that will be gone once the new weather system and clouds get introduced.

Why have the +1 comments been removed? Is there a Forum rule against that??

+1 on that one Watermanpc! Im a sucker for visual effects too and must say they did a great job so far. All i want to add is my personal oppinion that the vapes could look a little less transparrent. Most of the times they are hardly visible. Really only when you are about stalling speed and should focus at your gauges instead of aft :music_whistling: so indeed a little heavier vapes on the wings mire than welcome! :thumbup:

Please add them to the applicable runways. I feel it will be a nice addition to DCS. For example when a players plane gets damaged in combat/ gets an engine failure, and wants to land his plane. He can rely on the cable. I can also see for example in multiplayer: players no longer crash into the runway, or drift/roll over on emergency landing.

I had a crash on the server. Tried to put it up again, failed. Put the file in the directory (on both machines), both can now succesfully run PG again! dcs.zip

i changed nothing what so ever and it seems i can now load PG with succes. one time in mission editor, another when putting up the server.

Thats one. Hope it helps. dcs.lua

I dont have Nevada installed, still PG doesnt work. i own it though. Also would like to post my dcs.log file and dxdiag. But first time for me, logfile gives an error when trying to post, and where to find the dxdiag file?

I am afraid that if i restart DCS or the server on my desktop, i wont be able to get it running again like on my notebook. But desktop had about 70/256GB available, notebook is 65/256GB.

same problem, Caucasus works fine. but when i try to load a mission or join a server on PG the game crashes to desktop without error message... very briefly get to see the loading screen with just "Loading..." on the bottom but no progress bar. also tried doing a repair, deleting metashaders and FXO... all in vain. my Desktop somehow did manage to get PG running and is actually running "The Shooting Range" server now. however i got it working on the notebook yesterday aswell, but same problem today and after a number of attempts it still doesnt want to run.

Can we move this topic to F/A-18c Bugs and problems? A couple of friends have done some tests and it looks like its just the hornet that has this problem... Only vissible in F1cockpit view, even with the canopy opened. And only visible over sea with cloudy weather and rain.

When flying above the cloud deck of say a "scattered cloud pattern" the clouds seem to cast a shadow ontop of the airplane. This can be seen in external view. I have a recording ready to upload. But cant post it until next month because i am away for work and have restricted wifi options. Anyone can confirm?
