It's playable, thought it does use more VRAM and the cockpit view require some optimisation as it's a bit heavy on the fps these days. I found in a couple of missions that it uses more than 10GB and if your GPU doesn't have more than that the fps will tank. After I upgraded my GPU it helped a lot with this.

Also just came across this. Keen to increase the draw distance for cities in Syria as it is currently extremely short (just load up the F-16 free flight and zoom into the city coming up in the beginning - hardly any buildings rendering there). If not the full file, is it possible to paste here what lines needs to be updated? Does the changes have to be done in the main program folders or in the saved games folder? Thanks

I'm sorry but I must say I completely disagree. The AI units are very static and hardly any reaction to be shot at. They can shoot at airplanes/helos with razer sharp precision that completely kills the immersion. Get the AI units to go between a few houses and you are practically guaranteed that one or more will get stuck in a house or in the small piles of rubbish that are next to them. I am not looking for drivable vehicles with the internals represented or a 1st person shooter. I just wish to simply have the AI to react a bit more as to 'feel alive' a bit.

Not sure I'm the only one with this problem, but I see the new blue 'download here' text but can't see it is a real link.

I suggest to follow this thread here...

Can have the downlink back again if the new version is still not ready soon?

And have a a look here as there seem to be a new bug since the last OB and now you will hear it almost all the time...

Hi all, Sorry if this has been asked before (couldn't find it): How do you update the dcs plugin for streamdeck? I keep getting this error... I tried to open the plugin using 7-zip but got errors for the individual files for some reason.

I just happened to come across this thread. This tip is a literally a life saver for using the helo at this moment. @NineLine can this be a sticky somewhere or in the faq to help people? thanks

I wonder if it's time to try the Hind. I hear some people refer to it as 'abandon ware' but it will allow us to join the cold war server

I have the Apache to have much lower fps than other modules. Also the fps can vary greatly over time. For instance when switching views to external, flyby, switch to other units and back to the cockpit the fps can suddenly change dramatically either better or worse. I have no idea how this is happening. I run DCS in 4K with an intel 9900KS@5Ghz, Nvidia 3080 and 64Gb memory.

I just tried to test this with the instant mission mission on the Persian map. I didn't notice any difference. Turning on/off the CWMS and all the switches.

Sorry if this has been asked before but I couldn't find any when searching here: I got a CM3 setup using monster tech and would like to install the monster tech MFD on the left of the throttle. Is this too close to use the buttons on the MFD? I haven't been able to find any images of such a setup when googling. I'm curious if anybody has done this and if so, if it provides enough space between the throttle and the MFD in situations like when you push the throttle all the way forward. Thank you

I went back to check this and from what I can see, the view is perhaps in 'Normal' mode even though my MPD is in the 'Zoom' mode? As soon as you select a target I get a better zoomed in view of the enemy.

After the latest patch I found taking off is much harder as if the Apache appear much heavier now.

I would highly recommend you sign up as a patreon to support Chucks' work. He has supported the DCS community for years and continue to do so. Chuck has created lots of guides that has benefited thousands of people so giving a bit back to him will surely help him. https://www.patreon.com/chucksguides

Ah I didn't know that, thank you! I usually start asking George to find targets 10-15km out so I haven't noticed this. If that's the case I think it sounds like it works quite well as it would be humanly difficult to id targets that far away many times. For people who want it to be easier, as mentioned, perhaps a setting to switch it on/off.

Perhaps a setting in the options if people want to know the exact type of a target? An alternative could perhaps be that as you go through the target list that George points the laser at each target and it leaves it up to you to have the TADS video feed to recognize the exact type of enemy?

No, no I bought a damper several months ago. I found with it on that it was so stiff - even on the lowest setting - that the pedals couldn't center by themselves any longer. So I returned them. Now I bought a new damper to try again, and this time it seems more soft on the lowest setting. I removed the centre spring and now I just find that the damper make the rudders 'stick' so that when I want to make small adjustments in the Apache it is very difficult. I've read many people rave about how fantastic and realistic it is to add a damper but so far I haven't found it is so fantastic. I don't know if I'm just unlucky twice with the damper that I bought...

edit: updated to avoid confusion I bought a second damper, to replace the first one I tried, and installed now for use with the DCS Apache. So I detatched the centre spring. Now the damper is causing sticktion to the rudder. So making minor adjustments is a pain which is a deal breaker with the apache such as for take off or hovering... Any recommendations for how to solve this? Any sort of oil or similar to use for the damper to make it move more smoothly? It's smooth once moving but it's simply to first get it moving that feels 'sticky'

This would make it a lot easier instead of having to write down/remember coordinates, translate them and then enter the coordinates in the apache.

It must be really, really, really complex to fix .....

ExportScripts was updated some days ago so you can bind to various controls in the Apache. There is a separate thread for this if you are interested. I had a look using DCS-BIOS and found the interfaces to various things like the MPDs, etc. but I couldn't find things like master caution, A/S, GND, etc. which was what I wanted to use for binding to my streamdeck to easily show the status. Also when flying I couldn't see the value would be different so I could use this to set the state of an image of the streamdeck. I hope it will be made available or somebody figures it out

Thank you for the update for the Apache. Very quickly done after the release which is amazing! I haven't come across any of the controls so far export text strings which can be used to be displayed on the streamdeck. I need to setup DCS Bios correctly to try and dig deeper into this but wanted to put it as a question here as it might already been resolved. As an example the F-16 has outputs that can be used to display the chaff numbers, remaining fuel, etc. https://github.com/asherao/DCS-ExportScripts/wiki/F-16C
