Thank you, reported.

They did not make it in time for the Open Beta, but attached are LGB and IR Maverick instant action missions for the Caucasus map. Caucasus FA-18C Paveway II Laser Guided Bombs Practice.miz Caucasus FA-18C AGM-65F Maverick Practice.miz

We have plenty of other systems in our development studio and testers for that. Limited room here.

Very interesting tech Miles! Please send me a private message.

Varies based on the project and VR tasks. From 10% to 50%.

Just Rift now.

Sorry, but Thrustmaster should field those questions.

Updates to the A-10C and Ka-50 cockpits and externals are already in work.

Not exactly an cockpit, but I get this question often, so I thought best to make a little post that lays out my system. I use two in fact (always good to have a back up). This is also handy for in-office demos and when one systems is tied up with rendering. Primary: i9 9900K OC'd to 5.1, 2080Ti, 32 3200 Mhz RAM, and 3 TB of SSD space. Thurstmaster Hornet stick on a VPC WarBRD base and a Thrustmaster Warthog throttle. Secondary: i7 6700K, 1080Ti, 32 2800 MHz RAM, 512 SSD space. Thustmaster Cougar HOTAS. Yes, they are both beasts and set up for Oculus Rift with Touch. I also use an assortment of sticks and throttles from Thrustmaster, VKB, and Virpil. Monstertech as kind enough to send me desk mounts. Great stuff!

Just to be clear, this is not a Wags video. This was created by Glowing AMRAAM with a lot of direction from our company owner Nick Grey. I had a very minor role.

This will become quite clear later today.

During final testing, we discovered a bug with the Mi-8 that would crash DCS World. As the primary point of the Open Beta is to catch crash bugs before being published, we want to first resolve this. We'll release the change log once the OB is released tomorrow. Thanks and enjoy the Winter sale! We have an epic video coming later today.

Dear all, Regarding the Maverick TDC slew for the Thrustmaster Warthog mini-stick axis, this has been a point of great frustration for the team this week. After testing the same function on other throttle mini-sticks (VKB, Virpil, CH, Saitek, the Thrustmaster TWCS), we only see this issue with the Warthog. This appears to be a hardware issue that we cannot resolve through software (a conflict between TDC press and TDC slew at the same time). We do realize that this is a very popular throttle (I use one too!), so we plan to make an option of requiring TDC press to slew the seeker. While it will not be accurate to the real operation of the AGM-65F, it should allow Warthog user much better control. This will require significant recoding, so it may not be ready for this week’s Open Beta. However, we are devoted to resolving this issue. In the meantime, we suggest setting a separate button for TDC press (ENTER) but still use TDC slew axis. Thanks!

Upcoming facilities added to Lavan Island.

A/A Waypoint and BRA in the Hornet Coming in 19 Dec 2018 Open Beta.

Hi everyone! This week we plan to migrate the current Open Beta to the Release version. We've put this off for the past two weeks as we worked on some Hornet and other items. For next week's Open Beta, we plan (not promise): 1- GBU-10, 12, and 16 laser-guided bombs with off-board designation. 2- Bullseye (A/A Waypoint) and BRA indications. 3- Improved IR Maverick axis slew and other Maverick fixes/additions like improved ship attack, longer ship lock ranges, range indications when slaved, and others. 4- Fixed DUD cue. 5- New radar defaults based on SME feedback. 6- Fixed cockpit art like left DDI error. 7- JHMCS updates like look-up reticles. 8- Air show smoke. 9- Fixed ACM HUD mode indications. 10- L&S target heading on attack format. I'll have some Bulls/BRA and LGB videos coming by the weekend. In parallel, the team is hard at work on the HARM, datalink (SA page, MIDS, Link-16), FLIR rendering tech, and A/G rendering tech. All of this will be part of 2.5.4. Thanks!

It was updated two weeks ago. Most of the weapon systems do indeed have checklists, in blue boxes.

SP, TOO, and PB.

Primarily based on 13C.

Dear all, As has been mentioned before, adding Fallon NAS and its range (and buffer area) to the NTTR map will not happen for several reasons: 1- While Fallon NAS is barely in the current NTTR map, the entire range and buffer area is certainly not. 2- The NTTR map is already as max size that can support current RAM min-specs (8 GB). 3- To add such a huge amount of work would also result in a higher price; many users would have a fit. 4- The NTTR map is centered on the NTTR, not all of Nevada. Way out of scope. 5- Based on customer feedback, we have heard overwhelming that most customers want new combat theater maps, not training maps. 6- A Fallon NAS map would be a great opportunity for a 3rd party. 7- All our map resources are tied up with new map projects for the next several years. While I understand the desire, I’m afraid it’s not feasible for all the above reasons. Perhaps a qualified 3rd party though may wish to take it on. Thanks!

Our ship artist is currently focused on an updated Nimitz-class. After that he'll complete the Burke. Once those are done, he can return to the Kuz.

Please provide a track.

Dear pilots! Tomorrow we’ll release the AGM-65F (AGM-65D and AGM-65G have been removed to make a more accurate simulation of the USN/USMC legacy Hornet). It will not be at a complete state as we’d hoped, but certainly much more accurate than the current OB version of the D/G. Here are a few notes to help you understand the system to minimize confusion/frustration: Basic operation: Must be in ARM Master Arm mode and A/G Master Mode. Select MAVF from Stores page and then again for AGM-65F format page. If missions starts from the ground, you must give the seeker time to cool down (seeker) and spin up (gyro), indicated by the TIMING countdown timer. Set TDC to Maverick format page, left sensor control switch (assuming MAFV format on LDDI). HOTAS Cage/Uncage button to cage the seeker to boresight. HOTAS HARM Sequence / FOV / RAID button to toggle seeker field of view. Note: FOV change should only be possible in a non-tracking seeker state. TRACK WHT/BLK should only toggle symbology, NOT seeker polarity. In addition to symbology color, it also will set the seeker to bias locking of white point targets (WHT) or black (BLK). TRACK does NOT indicate seeker tracking state. To slew seeker, you must be pressing down on the TDC while giving slew commands. Note: the team is working on making the slew smoother (also for HUD TDC slew). You can also hold down the ENTER button while entering slew commands of , . / ; To lock a target, slew the crosshairs over a target and release the TDC button. If it cannot lock, the crosshairs will expand to breaklock mode the pointing cross with flash. If a TGT point is set, the seeker will auto-Slave to the location. Once slaved, press the HOTAS undesignate button to allow manual slew. To Do: Improve slew precision. Adjust Maverick motor burn time, speed, and range. Cage to boresight from slave mode, already fixed internally. Note: the AGM-65F uses the existing infrared-rendering shaders, not the new one under development. Test mission attached. Example (not an F but close) of reference: Thanks! Wags

Actually, it is through the gateway.
