@BIGNEWY
I dont see any FC3 Pack just individual FC3 planes, and in the mission editor it only shows me the FC3 A10A and F15C the other ones are missing, if I add the A10A and F15C they are greyed out and I cant use them, I can only use anything showing as yellow.
And in the store I only have a license for DCS Flaming Cliffs, no individual FC3 planes

When you say install the planes separately is this from the module manager in game, or di I need to get the
3 minutes ago, BIGNEWY said:Hello, sorry for the issues,
A fix has already been made for FC3 auth issues.
You need to install the individual aircraft and licences have been issued for them, please ignore the FC3 pack install for now and go for individual ones.
The team is working on tidying up the process, and FC3 pack will become legacy product, replaced by the individual aircraft and the option upgrade to FC2024.
If you are a steam user linked to stand alone DCS dont forget to go to the DCS account page on our website and in the steam link area hit the get licences button again.
If you continue to have issues please contact support directly.
thank you
When you say install the planes separately is this from the module manager in game, or do I need to get the from the ED store, im a tad confused here.
In the module manager it says I have all the 5 FC planes installed, yet in the mission editor none of them are in Yellow (available to me) so i cant use them.
This you describe above process does not seem easy to me. -

Trial version users are not seeing detail terrain at the airfields in the southwest region.
Users who own Afghanistan should be ok, when I test my end the high detail areas at airfields look correct.
Thanks for the reply, im seeing good detail at the airports

Hi all,
please note we are experiencing an issue with the trial version not showing some detailed areas. We are working on a solution now.
thank you
I think the none trail version seems to be affected too, do you have pics so that us with the paid version can compare it to the trail ?? to see if what we have is working correctly.

@BIGNEWY
HI sorry to ping you but do you have an ETA on when this will be fixed with a hotfix, a lot of users are in the same position and cant use the modules we paid for, I have now missed some squad missions because I could not fly the A10A.

Hi tried to add a Dynamic spawn airfield to the TTi Caucuas at Vaziani as a test but non of the TTi comms menu options pull through to any units that use Dynamic spawns, has anyone else tried this and have a fix ??
Thanks

All my FC3 planes are disable in a msg when I start up, from reading this is a bug with the latest patch, anyone know any workarounds of can some one from ED tell me when im going to be able to use them again.
Thanks -
Nice patch but breaking VR and quad views negates it all really for me as the FPS are a lot lower, I cant believe they broke Quad views for the Pimax, so even having them here as a partner with a support forum didn't help.
Now probably need to wait 6-8 weeks for a fix...

Is there a known issue with Kandahar airport, its set as blue and all boxes are ticked for dynamic spawn options but its the only airfield that wont work and allow people to spawn as it doesnt show up in the list in my mission, all others work fine
Yep Kandahar is broken, even setting it as the only blue airport and dynamic spawns wont allow you to select anything to spawn into-

Is hot start working ??, I set up a mission and on my server every unit I spawn into with hot start ticked is cold ??

With the EA features coming with it, it shouldn't take much longer than 30 mins to get it flying as with most DCS helos, the mastering will come when the proper Chinook features arrive and not just a cockpit and FM, until then it will be very basic fun relaying on 3rd part CTLD scripts in servers it it works with them when its released.
I purchased EA dont care about the delay but have already told my self its going to get pretty boring pretty quick with its feature set at EA.
-
Thanks for a update and being a lot more transparent about, I don't care about a date just release it when its ready and tell me to run my updater.

Since @BIGNEWY was kind enough mentioned that their upcoming patch is BIG (a MOAR?), we can happily guess (without any actual knowledge!) what such a big release may include:
Gobsmackers
- Hook
- 'Stan
- Kola "Winter Soldier"
- SupCarrier changes
- FC 2024
- Maybe even some bug fixes to some great modules, e.g.
- Mudhen Radar
- Kiowa crew
"Talked About"
- Sinai first patch (one year worth of updates, may require map tech)
- IraqEven More Highly Speculative
- some new map tech
- some new weather tech
- Airport AI
- Vulkan
- MT for servers
- new campaigns
- New Campaign Engine (included just for laughs, I know)
- Persistence (again, just for laughs)or, plainly, a "DCS 3++"? That list above is indeed much too big to handle for anyone who strives to preserve their sanity.
So, I agree with @YoYo's assessment that ED's products have grown too large to be managed in 'Big Block' releases. I'm thinking that they could investigate a multi-track release train, one for technology/bugfixes (the "world" track) on a 4-week schedule, and a "feature" track that has a distinct schedule that does not coincide with the world track. So if a feature has dependencies on a world feature, it will always come at least a week after a world release that enables it.
No matter what, I'm happy to wait for the new patch, and I merely wish that ED would simply communicate more, and better include their Forums so dinosaurs like I who don't frequent discord, Facebook or Twitter can also be up to date.
Good luck and Godspeed, ED - and let's hear a bit more about what you got in store for us
Your speaking in common-sense terms, stop it

This discussion topic says patch delay and news, have we received any news from ED other than wait for a news letter

What do we do if the patch is so big (as Wags eluded to it being) it keeps breaking stuff. :), soon or later they will need to remove stuff to get some content that is due out.
I like YoYo's idea, I think modules should be kept out of major patches unless they need the core updates to work, and have there own mid patch releases, I'm so glad the F4E, Kiowa and Kola wasn't dependent on this one.-

At the risk of getting myself another 40pts for sharing my opinion I’d like to know where we’re supposed to be getting ‘official’ news on everything?
I don’t use discord, never had a FB or Twitter account but I have paid a fair few quid on DCS. I’d have thought this would be the place to go?
I’m not bothered about waiting for updates or whatever so long as they’re dealt with better. Setting dates and making a big deal of it is setting yourselves up for all the nonsense. Having to go hunting to find out what’s happening isn’t what I wanna be doing so I don’t, I come here.
Thanks to everyone for reading, apologies if anyone feels offended or upset and I wish everyone all the very best.
Im with you I think this should be the place to come for proper updates, you wouldn't want to any where near the ED Discord anyway its full of 12 year old's in the main channel anyway, a couple of the specific topic channels are ok though in small doses.

You know ED maybe it would help if you put some context on the patch delay, I see stuff like this pop up and you sit there and go so its the biggest patch ever possible, what does that mean, what does it include other than what we know, I feel you are a bit too secretive with information and most of us here find stuff out from little snippets like the below screen shot.
And I know you will say you cant release patch notes as things may change but I'm pretty sure you have some indication of what was coming with 2-3 hrs of pulling it, why wait for a news letter tomorrow just to tell everyone its delayed, we already know that information.
You pretty much need to watch your Discord channel now 24/7 to get snippets on what's coming.
Id rather have the delay to fix bugs, but some clarity would go a long way to fixing your some what tarnished reputation in the wider community with this years dramas that have unfolded for you.

Don't think this is possible. Old build with new terrain....
How do you know the terrain engine is being changed that the build we got 5 weeks ago with Kola wouldn't support Afghanistan...your comment doesn't make sense to me
24 minutes ago, Blazkovitch said:Because afghan depends on some new feature in core version and merging is non trivial and can introduce new bugs. Be patient.
Is this just a guess or do you 100% know that because if you do you have insider knowledge.

Here's an idea, delay the patch all you like but.
Why not just release the Afghanistan module, now.
It should be standalone as all modules are, you have paid customers waiting for it, these customers would get it a week late still but they would at least get it and be happy.
The F-4E, Kola, Kiowa all released sort of on there own but you add in small fixes, so it can be done.
The Afghanistan module could come out now, just release that, break it away from this big patch/noose around your neck.

If so, they might as well release it tommorow honestly. What good will two weeks of crunching devs do?
Them not releasing means its broken enough to cause an uproar and some very disgruntled EA customers, there is no point in that as ED rep is quite low at the moment in the wider community.
2 weeks could fix a lot but id rather wait longer to get more EA features.-

No need to rant. You can always NOT buy, like in every store in the world...
That's how a store works. Offering something... and if you don't like the offer, you need to decide if you buy it, or pass, until you find something that suits you.
Do you go around shops in your town and complain about all the stuff they offer, that you don't like to buy?
Edit: and the release(!) is still years away. The early access phase is next, and that's what they deliver for early access. So of course it is incomplete! That's why it's called "early access".
I would hardly call Snappy post a rant, everyone knows EDs early access program, we don't need reminding about its meaning and a lot of us hear are happy to get EA and have supported it for many years and id say some of that may even pay your wage unless you work for free, its just the content is getting less and less.

Well after seeing the EA list im holding off and will wait to see how the guys on our server find it using it with CTLD (if that works with it), lots of things missing in EA I would have considered should be there at 1st release.

The dust and smoke slider broken, it doesn't seem to work, wherever I set it I have really good visibility on all the sand maps, im trying to make limited visibility in Afghanistan out to about 3000 meters.
Thanks
